Sensing Lucia’s shyness, Arthur frowned and turned to the man standing at the door.
“Eduard, are you trying to provoke me?!”
It was Eduard at the door, and not just him, but Daphne, Kane and Juliana.
Eduard and Daphne were at the front, the first to see the passionate scene in the hospital bed. Daphne had already turned away, red-faced and covering her eyes, except for Eduard, the cheeky fellow, who spoke up unceremoniously. No wonder Arthur was angry with him.
“No, Arthur, I want to live a few more years,” Eduard said with a cheeky smile, unapologetic that he had disturbed them.
Kane and Juliana squeezed in, not knowing what was going on. As soon as Juliana entered the room, she saw Lucia holding a quilt over her head.
“What’s going on?”
“I saw…” Eduard did not hesitate to describe what he had just seen. He did not expect to be hit in the face by a pillow as soon as he said a few words. The pillow fell, and he shut his mouth.
“Eduard!” Lucia retracted her action and scolded Eduard with a red face. “Say one word and I’ll let you walk out of here today!”
“Lucia, I’m with you!” said Daphne.
Eduard found it bitter that he was never as important to Daphne as Lucia, was he?
“Oh my God!” Juliana didn’t care what had happened. She noticed the wounds on Lucia’s face and exclaimed, “Jack, they just said that the baby had a fever. Why are you injured?!”
It turned out that Jack and his men called Kane, not because they were acting on their own, but because Lucia needed Kane to come down here in person. And she needed to tell him something. It just didn’t occur to Kane to tell Eduard and Daphne as soon as he heard she was in the hospital.
As soon as Juliana said this, all eyes were on Lucia’s face, especially Daphne, who rushed to Lucia’s side and asked her nervously what had happened.
Lucia smiled and told them what had happened last night. While Lucia was talking to Daphne and Juliana, Eduard had picked up the pillow, and together with Kane, they came to Arthur, who was “ruthlessly” pushed to the end of the bed by Juliana.
“Out in the open?”
Eduard knew that the kiss couldn’t have been a coincidence or a moment of passion.
“Well, last night,” Arthur replied flatly.
“If it wasn’t for the stress, she wouldn’t have said anything,” Eduard said, knowing Lucia well enough to see her smiling and feeling sorry for her as a friend.
Arthur understood what Eduard meant. He turned to Lucia, who was teasing their daughter with Juliana and Daphne.
“It’s good to be open and honest so we can focus on Spencer and Nia.” Kane thought it would be good for Lucia, at least she wouldn’t be so stressed out.
“Didn’t you run into Spencer when you were here?” Arthur knew that Dan’s room was only a few rooms away from theirs, and that they had to pass by his room to get there.
“No,” Eduard shook his head, and they heard Lucia’s explanation. “All the way here, the doors are closed.”
When Lucia heard Eduard, she sneered. “Spencer made sure I wouldn’t leave with the baby, because he knew I would never go against my aunt’s wishes.”
“Lucia, since everything is clear, why don’t you just leave? Can you get back together with Arthur and try to get Ms. Wilson to forgive you?” Juliana had wanted to persuade Lucia for a long time. She was the happiest person to hear Arthur say that they had been confessed.
“Julia…” Arthur spoke before Lucia could answer. “Don’t put Lucia in a difficult position,” he said
Lucia’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Arthur.
“But…” Juliana really felt that Lucia didn’t have to do this to herself.
“Back then,” Arthur explained,
“When Lucia was cornered by Jacob, it was Ms. Wilson helped her, and for Lucia, who had lost her mother as a child, Ms. Wilson is like a second mother to her. It’s hard to let go of, and it’s hard to shake, so I’m willing to wait.”
What Arthur had said was exactly what Lucia had thought. If it hadn’t been for the presence of others, Lucia would have jumped into his arms.
It was really nice to be understood.
When they heard Arthur say this, and saw Lucia’s helpless look on her face, they all sighed in unison, and Juliana put it bluntly,
“Is it just gonna have to wait? Who knows when Ms. Wilson will be able to let go of the misunderstanding she had with aunt and uncle?”
Neither Lucia nor Arthur can answer, for they had no answer in their hearts.
“All right,” said Eduard, who usually mediated, clapping his hands when he saw the atmosphere grow somber with the mention of Esmae.
“There’s always a silver lining. You never know if she suddenly changes her mind. Let’s be positive, okay? Besides, everyone has been holding it in for so long that we don’t dare to reveal the relationship between Lucia and Arthur. Now, their misunderstanding has been cleared up. This is a happy occasion!”
Eduard’s words had a subtle chemical reaction in the hearts of the crowd, and everyone looked at each other and thought that was right. And they all laughed out loud.
“Eduard’s right,” Kane laughed. “At least we won’t have to hide it from each other. We dare mention each other in front of you.”
When Lucia heard this, she blushed. She had indeed asked them to do so. She thought that she would not overthink it if she did not mention Arthur, but she did not expect that she would not be able to control her heart at all.
Thinking of this, Lucia couldn’t help but look at Arthur. The next second, she saw him staring at her too. Yes, whenever she looked at him, his eyes were always on her. He never left, and she smiled at Arthur. Lucia was happy now, but that happiness soon turned to embarrassment.
“Of course. Lucia and Arthur were kissing each other. They…” Eduard was blunt. As he spoke, a second pillow flew over and landed on his face.
The pillow dropped, and Eduard was stared at by Lucia.
“Eduard, it’s your choice!” Lucia warned.
