Joshua sighed lightly, "Forget it. Think about it yourself. Don't forget, yon have a fiancee who you're about lo get engaged to.”
With that, he turned around and left.
August was the only one left in the room
He kept thinking about Lucia's face. Finally, he look a deep breath and suppressed all impulses ill his heart.
It seemed that I ueia had been integrated into his life bit by bit in the most imperceptible way, and it was not easy tor him to lorget her.
It seemed that he really should concent rale. At least now, when tilecompany's various conditions were unclear, he was in no mood to think about other things.
He glanced at the phone next to him and picked it up. As soon as he turned it on, he saw messages from Jeanne.
[August. are you feeling better?]
[I want to go to the hospital to see you, but I'm afraid to disturb you.]
[I'm really worried. Call me if you see the messages.]
August frowned slightly, and finally replied, [Come here]
It happened that he also had something to ask her in person.
After receiving August's reply, Jeanne was so excited that she almost jumped up. she Imrtiedly changed her clothes and asked Mark lo drive her to the hospital.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the ward, she I couldn'l wait to push the door open and rushed in,
"August!"
August raised his eyes lo look at her, and said with an impetceptible coldness in his eyes, "Come in."
"You're t Inally willing lo see me!" Jeanne rushed lo I he side of the hospital bed and held August's hand, and her eyes instantly turned red, "I thought you were mad at me"

His words instantly made Jeanne awake a bit. she looked tip at August in panic, and quickly shook her head,
"No, the last time I visited you, it affected your rest. I thought you didn't reply because yon were angry..."

Jeanne looked at him tearfully, wiped the corners ot her eyes, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" August didn't want to beat around the bush, so he simply went straight lo the point, "Does the leak of the proposal have anything to do with you?"
Jeanne was slightly surprised and her back stiffened a little. Alter a second, she hurriedly said, "August, how could it have anything to do with me?!"
August's eyes became serious, "My man found out that you were in thecar when Lucia went to deliver the documents, and you were alone in thecar for about ten minutes at the Figo Intersection.” Jeanne was shocked and shook her head quickly, "I...I didn’t see any proposal, and I didn't know about it at all. August, what's in it for me to do this? You know, all I've cared about is you!"
She held August's hand tightly with both hands, shook her head in a panic, and explained. Her eyes were red, and she looked quite pitiful.
August frowned, feeling a little confused.
He didn't want to doubt anyone. But when things got lo this point, he had to find out himself. Jeanne was out of breath crying, and her voice was a little hoarse, "I grew up with you and we have known each other for so many years. Why would I hurt you?"
August was slightly surprised. Could it be that he suspected wrong?
He frowned, held Jeanne's hand and his voice was a little softer, "I didn't mean to blame you. It's just that alter it happened, I have to find out anything suspicious
Jeanne leaned towards his chest,and sobbed, "I know, Augusl, I don't blame you. I didn't help you. I'm just causing you trouble..."
