    Chapter 237 Restaurant Encounter


    Lucia had been in the hospital for several days and she was much relieved when Bill was getting better.


    "This is thest checkup, and your dad has recovered a lot."


    The doctor handed over the checklist to Lucia and said.


    Hearing this, Lucia got a little excited, "In that case, when can we reschedule the surgery?"


    The doctor with gold-rimmed sses paused and spoke softly, "If you still intend to invite Dr.Long to


    operate, you may have to contact him, but in my advice, I suggest you should wait until your dad’s


    physical condition is stable before doing the surgery, and I''m afraid it will take some time."


    At these words, Lucia was in a subdued mood.


    She nodded and said softly, "I see, Thank you."


    When she came out of the office, Lucia held the checklist and felt a little upset because she was afraid


    she couldn''t afford the fee and be able to pay off all the debts if the operation was postponed.


    Had it not been for this sudden ident, she was sure that her dad would have finished the heart


    bypass surgery by now.


    She let out a long sigh and immediately adjusted her mood before walking into the ward.


    Just as she stepped in, she saw Paul sitting next to the hospital bed.


    Paul turned around and greeted her gently, "Hello, Lucia."


    Lucia smiled and walked up, "Do you want something to drink."


    "A ss of water, thank you."


    They smiled at each other.


    Since Paul and Pa came to the hospitalst time, Paul came over almost every day for the next few


    days, and thanks to hispany, Bill was not that boring anymore.


    Paul just raised his hand to take the ss of water from Lucia, Bill sitting on the hospital bed couldn''t


    help but ask, "Paul, have you read that paper publishedst December..."


    Elisa glowered at Bill and hated it when he disturbed Paul and Lucia.It was already lunchtime, but Bill


    and Paul were still talking about that paper.


    Elisa bought lunch and gave it to Bill with a slightint, "Just stop to eat!"


    Lucia and Paul on the side saw this and couldn''t help butugh.


    Bill frowned in dissatisfaction, "Why did you just buy lunch for me? Did you forget Lucia and Paul?"


    Elisa looked at Lucia and Paul, smiling, "Lucia will treat Paul to thank Paul for taking care of us these


    days."


    Then, she packed up a few clothes that Lucia had changed and said, "Just go home to take a shower


    and get some rest."


    Lucia was indeed a bit tired, and it just so happened that she was out of clean clothes, so she had to


    agree, "Okay, I''ll go home today."


    Hearing her promise, Elisa was ecstatic and winked at Paul, "Paul, don''t forget to send her home!"


    Paul smiled lightly and said, "My pleasure."


    Coming out of the hospital and getting into the car, Lucia turned her head to look at Paul and asked,


    "Just choose what you want to eat because I haven''t eaten out for a long time."


    Paul smiled and responded, "Okay, I know a restaurant that''s definitely to your taste."


    On the way, the two talked andughed, but when Lucia got out of the car, she was a little worried if


    she could afford the expense of eating in this high-end restaurant.


    Paul walked over and said softly, "Let''s go, I''ve booked a seat close to the window where is quiet."


    Lucia asked with surprise, "You booked it in advance?"


    Paul winked at her mysteriously andughed, "Guess what?"


    In fact, as early as yesterday when Elisa told him to let them go out for lunch, he had booked the


    restaurant in advance.


    Lucia probably already guessed, and pretended to be angry, "Didn''t we agree that my treat was on?"


    "It''s okay, next time it''s on you."


    Lucia hesitated, "No, you can''t..."


    "Why not?"


    Paul leaned over slightly closer to her, lowered his voice andughed, "It''s my honor to have lunch with


    you."


    Lucia was amused by his words and followed him into the restaurant.


    After ordering the food, Lucia and Paul were chatting with each other.


    Lucia felt it was rxed andfortable when she stayed with Paul, and she was willing to date him as


    he was such a perfect man.


    Lucia got up to go to the restroom before the food was served.


    Just as she came out of the restroom when he heard a familiar voice, "Merlin had something to do


    today, so he didn''te..."


    As soon as she came out, she bumped into two people who were walking over and the three looked at


    each other, all slightly stunned.


    Lucia clenched her fists tightly and this time she was reluctant to see August becausest time they


    had ended in an argument.


    Jeanne was the first to respond and initiative to greet Lucia, "What a coincidence, Lucia!"


    Lucia was a little ufortable but forced a smile at her, "Yeah, quite a coincidence."


    However, she might admit that the yellow dress Jeanne wore matched his dark blue suit well.


    In order to conceal her sadness and embarrassment, she came up with an excuse when she swept the


    ne around Jeanne''s neck andplimented softly, "Ms.Kelly, your ne is beautiful."


    "Thank you!"


    Suddenly beingplimented, Jeanne smiled brightly and gently touched the ne.


    She turned her head somewhat shyly to look at August at her side and spoke in a happy tone, "August


    bought it for me!"This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
