Chapter 202 He Was Quite Protective Of Her Seeing the contract-like document handed over, Lucia was slightly startled and flipped through the papers.
She was even more surprised when she saw the clause that Party A should bear the operation fee of Party B's father.
She frowned and her face was a little pale.
She looked at August and asked, "What is this?"
August said indifferently, "A contract that is beneficial to both of us."
"I will bear all the expenses for Mr.Mitchell's surgery as long as you can fulfill the stipulations in the contract."
Hearing what he said, Lucia suddenly turned cold.
She tightened her grip on the document slightly, bit her lips, and said, "Are you going to keep me?"
She had watched movies and TV series with similar plots before.
Some female protagonists would sign such contracts because they needed money, and both parties would take what they needed.
She had never thought that she would experience such a thing one day.
"Not exactly."
August looked serious and said in a firm tone, "You need money for your father's surgery, and I need you to help me put ona show in front of my grandma."
Lucia frowned and asked in confusion, "Why?"
August stared at her with dark and deep eyes, and said word by word, "Because it was you who got the marriage certificate with me at the beginning, and Grandma likes you very much, I need you to comfort Grandma during this time when she is not in good health.
So you just need to cooperate with me and put on a show.
That's all.
Seeing that Lucia didn't say a word for a long time, August said lightly, "I'm doing it for the sake of Grandma's health.
If you don't want to, I won't force it."
After thinking for a moment, Lucia bit her lips and confirmed again, "Is it all I have to do?"
August nodded slightly, "You just need to comply with the stipulations in the contract for one year."
Lucia fell silent and wrung her hands.
She hesitated.
She didn't know whether she should agree or not.
If she signed the contract, her family's burden would be reduced a lot.
Besides, it was for the benefit of Grandma.
She had already said that she would agree to any of his conditions.
After thinking about it and carefully weighing the pros and cons, Lucia flipped through the contract again.
After a moment, she made up her mind and said, "Okay, I agree."
For her father and Grandma, she would rather stay by August's side and put on a show with him.
When August heard this, he didn't seem surprised by her choice.
Lucia gritted her teeth, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally picked up the pen and signed it.
The moment Lucia put the document in front of August, she suddenly felt that she had sold herself.
But when August signed it, she knew that whether she regretted it later or not, the deal was closed.
But no matter what, the fact that her father could have the operation as soon as possible was very good news for her.
Taking a deep breath, she glanced at the time, looked at August, and said softly, "If nothing else, I'll go."
August glanced at her, nodded casually, got up, and followed her out.
When they went downstairs, Lucia heard people talking in the living room.
After walking downstairs, she found someone over there.
Bishop was sitting in a wheelchair, talking to his subordinate Bob.
Coincidentally, Bishop turned his head and saw Lucia.
His eyes lit up and he greeted her with a smile, "Lucia, why are you here?"
Lucia smiled at him, "I'll be here to see Grandma."
He controlled the wheelchair, got closer to her, and asked slowly, "Are you going to leave?"
Lucia nodded, "Yeah."
Bishop smiled and said kindly, "Well, I'll see you out.
It just so happens that I'm going out too."
Lucia hesitated and didn't know whether to agree or not when suddenly a cold voice came from behind, "No need."
Then her shoulder was held from the side.
The voice got a little closer, "I'll see her out."
Lucia turned her head to look at August awkwardly.
After all, this was the first time he had ever taken the initiative to get close to her in front of others.
Bishop's eyes naturally fell on Lucia's shoulder.
After two seconds, he smiled and said, "August, since you see her out, then I can rest assured."
With that, he looked at Bob beside him.
Bob took the hint, and immediately pushed the wheelchair and walked out.
Lucia secretly sighed that August and Bishop were incompatible, like fire and water.
They fought with each other whenever they met.
Suddenly, she felt lightened on the shoulder.
August took his hand away and said, "Let's go."
Lucia was stunned and followed him.
August and Lucia got into the car and drove away first.
On the other side, Bob took Bishop into the car, put away the wheelchair, got in the car, and drove away from the old house.
Sitting in the back, Bishop seemed in a good mood, with a somewhat ambiguous smile on his face.
The car was driving on the road.
From his angle, he could see August's car not far ahead.
He said leisurely, "Have you noticed that August treats Lucia a little differently than before?"
Bob asked, "Why is it different?"
Bishop smiled, "Just now, he was quite protective of her"
Bob was puzzled, "Why didn't I feel it?"
Hearing this, Bishop chuckled.
Bob had never dated girls, so naturally, he couldn't see anything.
Bishop didn't answer Bob's question and said directly, "Go back to the villa."
It only took fifteen minutes to get from the old house to Bishop's villa.
He usually split his time between the old house and his villa.
He didn't move out independently like August because he wanted to impress Grandma as a filial grandson.
It was just that Grandma didn't like him very much.
She neither liked him nor hated him.
He knew that he was not as good as August in Grandma's eyes, but he didn't mind it.
He was an illegitimate child after all.
lt was only at the age of sixteen that he officially entered the Adams family.
Without the time spent by Grandma's side when he was a child, he was naturally no match for August.
But he didn't care. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
When he arrived at the villa, Bob pushed him to the recovery room on the second floor.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mandy sitting on a chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with an open book in her arms, but her head was already tilted to one side.
She had fallen asleep.
Bishop smiled.
With a wave of his hand, Bob stepped back and controlled the automatic wheelchair to approach Mandy.
Stopping by Mandy's side, Bishop picked up the book in her arms and glanced at it.
It was a book of poems.
It was interesting that she liked poetry.
Mandy opened her eyes slightly, saw the person suddenly appearing beside her, and immediately stood up in a panic, "Mr....Mr.Adams! When did you come back?"
Bishop put the book aside and said, "When you were drooling in your sleep."
When Mandy heard this, she blushed a little with shame and quickly raised her hand to wipe her chin.
Huh? No drool? Why did he...
She raised her eyes to look at Bishop, and then she realized that she was being teased.
She was angry, but she couldn't say anything.
She hurriedly put the book back on the shelf.
During this period of contact, she had found that Bishop was not as serious and indifferent as the first time they met.
Sometimes he even joked with her She stepped forward and reminded, "Mr.Adams, today's rehabilitation training has not been done."
Bishop said softly, "Well, let's get started."
