Chapter 209
"My stomach hurts a little. I will go out soon." Lucy quickly wiped his tears and went to the bathroom. When his eyes were not so red, he went out.
Arthur was still waiting for her outside the door. When he saw her clearly crying eyes, he was very agitated. "Maddox's engagement, are you that sad?"
"Are you so sad that you're crying in the toilet?"
"It seems to be cold and my stomach hurts badly." Afraid that Arthur would do something bad to the Pate family, Lucy covered his stomach and lied.
"How can you say that?" Arthur's irritation turned into nervousness. He bent down and ran out with her in his arms. He shouted at the bodyguards, "Call the ambulance!"
The noise was so loud that everyone looked at Arthur and Lucy in his arms.
Caden heard someone talking, "Mrs. Johnson's belly is still so small. Is she going to give birth?"
"To give birth to a baby?"
Little brother or little sister?
Caden, who had never been a big brother, became nervous and ran after his daddy and mommy with his short legs.
But when he ran out, the ambulance left, the Bentley also ran away, and he became a nobody.
Caden was speechless.
"Is he really my biological son?"
What's more, he obviously sent a message to the scum's father. Why didn't the scum's attitude towards him change? He wanted to cry and felt uncomfortable!
...
Lucy's stomach was fine, but she had a fever.
Under Arthur's strong aura, the doctor put the needles in her head five times in a cold sweat. Finally, the needles hit the right place, and she felt that half of her life was gone.
"You go to work and ask Aunty Julianne to come to the hospital to accompany me." He had so much work to do, so there was no need to waste time here.
Arthur was still concerned about her crying for Maddox. "You don't want me to accompany you, but you want Maddox to come?"
"... If you want to stay here, just stay here." She had explained it so many times, but he just ignored it.
Her perfunctory attitude made Arthur very uncomfortable. He wanted to leave, but when he saw her pale face, he still sat by the bed with a gloomy face and tried the temperature on his forehead.
"Why is it still so hot?" Her forehead was shockingly hot!
Lucy sighed softly. "I just drank the liquid five minutes ago, and it didn't work so fast." As the president of the Johnson family, he didn't even have any common sense of life!
Arthur called the doctor in again.
"Mr. Johnson?" The doctor trembled and shouted. "What's wrong with this?"
Arthur's brows furrowed tightly. "When will she be able to recover from the fever?"
"It's almost done after the drip," said the doctor.
Arthur was very dissatisfied with this answer. "What do you mean? When will she recover to normal?"
"This... this..." He was just a doctor, not an immortal. He couldn't confirm the specific time!
Lucy helped the doctor out of the predicament. "Arthur, don't make things difficult for the doctor. Everyone has different physiques and different medicinal effects. How can they be so precise?"
After that, she smiled and said to the doctor, "Sorry to trouble you."
She didn't know when Arthur would make such a scene!
"No trouble. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me." The doctor looked at her gratefully, closed the door, and went out.
"Mom, please bless me and let Mrs. Johnson recover and leave the hospital as soon as possible!"
...
The Byrd family had withdrawn, and the Johnson family had proposed to cooperate with the Bell family. Arthur had too many things to do.
He asked the Max to take all the documents to the hospital, but in the evening, the company called him. He had something urgent to talk to him personally, so he could only leave the hospital.
"I'll ask Aunty Julianne to come over." Arthur was worried that she would be here alone.
Lucy nodded. "Alright."
Arthur packed up the documents and looked back at her. She was lying quietly on the bed. Her eyes were not as sarcastic and indifferent as usual. It was rare for her to be a little well-behaved.
Out of the blue, he walked up to her, bent down, and kissed her gently on the forehead.
"?" This move was too sudden, and it didn't match his style. Lucy looked at him with a confused expression.
He ignored her and strode away, but his ears were a little red.
There was still warmth left on his forehead. Lucy raised his hand to touch his forehead, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. However, when he thought of how he might have met Elyse and the baby on social media, the smile in her eyes disappeared without a trace. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Gulp—
The phone vibrated.
[The law of the jungle. Is that true?]
It was from his Maddox.
The Pate family had been implicated twice because of her, and even their Maddox's grandfather had passed away. The law of the jungle was the law of the jungle in the Maddox's mouth. The weak referred to the Maddox himself. Was it strong enough to be the guide?
Lucy was very upset. She had harmed the Pate family like this. How could an apology solve it?

[Are Arthur still suppressing the Pate family? I'll make him stop doing this within a week at most.]
No matter what, she would make Arthur stop suppressing the Pate family!
[Don't explain to Mr. Johnson, and don't plead for mercy with him. That will only make his suppression of the Pate family worse.]—Maddox.
"Hu..." Lucy took a deep breath, feeling exhausted from the bottom of his heart. Maddox's words were correct. Arthur didn't listen to her explanation at all. Her explanation would only further increase his prejudice towards him!
Then what should she do?
Just watch Arthur continue to suppress the Pate family and do nothing?
"Knock knock knock." Just as she was feeling extremely agitated, Aunty Julianne knocked on the door and walked in. She did not look very good.
Ruby stood behind Aunty Julianne in a white down jacket. Her delicate facial features and gentle temperament made her look like a white lotus in full bloom.
"Miss Maynard heard that you were ill, so she insisted on visiting you. Madam asked me to bring her here with me." However, she had already had two children with Miss Maynard. Why did Miss Maynard insist on bringing Elyse and Miss Maynard together? She really couldn't figure it out!
Ruby acted as if she didn't see Lucy's disgusted gaze. She sat on the chair and said, "I was in a hurry today and forgot to bring some fruits for Ms. Morgan. Ms. Morgan, you don't mind, do you?"
"I don't mind." Lucy said.
Ruby smiled gently.
Lucy continued, "Since you gave it to me anyway, I still have to throw it into the trash can. If I don't give it to you, it'll save me the effort to throw it."
She hated to waste food, but she threw away all the fruits that Elyse gave her. It was disgusting!
The smile on Ruby's face froze. She said aggrievedly, "I'm here to visit you sincerely. You..."
"Arthur isn't here. You don't have to act. You're not tired of acting. I'm tired of watching." Lucy interrupted her.
"What acting? Does Ms. Morgan have any misunderstanding about me?" Ruby bit her lower lip, and there was a layer of mist in her eyes. "I just care about you."
Lucy released a snort. "Are you worried about me? Or are you worried about my child on behalf of Arthur?"
"This..." Ruby looked very conflicted. "The truth is more hurtful, but Arthur and I do care about children."
