Chapter 92 Juliana has a fever
Lucia’s eyes flickered to Juliana.
“Arthur is not here, so don’t pretend to be enthusiastic.” Juliana is frank by nature, Arthur is not around, she does not want to do more than ‘socializing’ with Lucia, and then look at her eyes full of surprise and innocent, the heart is more despised.
“Julia, do you have some misunderstanding about me?” Lucia smiled lightly, not flustered, Juliana could frankly show her dissatisfaction with herself rather than make her feel relaxed.
“It’s hard to say whether it’s a misunderstanding or not.” Juliana withdrew her eyes and looked at the painting in front of her and said coldly.
Lucia’s mind raced back to see if she had offended Juliana since the meeting, but unfortunately had no clue, and said:
“Julia, I’m not one to hide anything, you’re Arthur’s best friend, I don’t want there to be a rift between us, so if you have any grievances against me, you can say so.”
“Do I need to say it straight?” Admittedly, if an ordinary person can be so reasonable is indeed convincing, but the object is Lucia, Juliana only feel that her words can be false.
Lucia was speechless for a moment. Juliana’s style of conversation was like an interrogation technique; she thundered, and with a mere contemptuous tone she had to stir her opponent into confusion.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Seeing Juliana’s thought of speech, Lucia instead smiled more deeply and asked patiently: “We have not known each other for a long time, and our ideas may not be in sync on certain things, so if I have offended you in any way, please let me know.”
“We may really have different ideas, but I believe in my own way of arguing black and white, and I am aware that betraying your husband is a disgracefulact, and I know that seducing someone else’s husband and stepping into several boats is what dissolute women do.”
Juliana’s character simply could not allow her to be false to Jun Nan, she has long wanted to be open and honest with her, even if such an act can only serve as a warning to her.
The light in Lucia’s eyes sank, and finally knew why Juliana contained hostility towards herself, Juliana had come to Athegate for a few days, so I guess I had heard rumors about myself.
Lucia doesn’t blame Juliana, who has been criticized herself, let alone for her first exposure to these things.
“Julia, some things cannot be taken at face value, only listen to hearsay, I have never done those things, so I can frankly stand beside Arthur, the details of which you can ask Arthur in detail, he is also in the Bureau, he may be better to explain to you.”
Lucia said patiently.
Juliana raised her eyebrows high, her eyes full of disdain, but I saw you pester Jacob with my own eyes! The truth is only hearsay to you?
Lucia is unaware that Poppy has approached Juliana, causing her words to backfire on her.
“Don’t use Arthur as a shield, he is now bent on you and in the way of Theodore’s presence, he must be speaking for you, you asked me to go to him just to make a mutual dislike between the two of us, I’m not that stupid.” Juliana snickered.
Lucia is at a loss for words, the matter is not credible enough to be explained by herself, the party concerned, and she is not willing to let Juliana go to Arthur to understand the situation.
Finally Lucia could only ask, “So what are you going to do?”
“Look at you now, it is impossible to leave Arthurvoluntarily, I do not want Arthur to get hurt,” Juliana turned her head long long long Lucia sneered and added: “But I will not stand by and watch you take advantage of him either.”
Lucia looked at Juliana’s eyes full of contempt, her heart had bitterness, she did not want everyone to understand herself, but Juliana’s identity is special, this matter, should we tell Arthur?
In the evening when she returned home, Lucia’s mood was not high, Arthur soon noticed her abnormalities, but the only response she got after questioning was ‘I’m tired’, Lucia did not intend to tell Arthur about Juliana’s misunderstanding of her, with Arthur’s character he would have acted violently. That will only make the misunderstanding between herself and her deeper.
“Lucia, you’re not hiding something from me, are you?” Arthur asked sensitively, Lucia’s ‘I’m tired’ was too perfunctory.
“I’m fine, I’m sure I’m tired after walking all afternoon today.” Lucia smiled faintly at Arthur, hiding her bitterness inside, she didn’t know what Juliana planned to do, but she trusted Arthur’s feelings for her.
“Rest when you’re tired, I’ll stay with you.” Arthur said heartily as he held Lucia tightly in his arms.
Lucia closed her eyes in Arthur’s arms and sighed that his embrace could really heal everything, but their coziness was soon broken by Arthur’s cell phone ringing. Arthur took out his cell phone and saw that it was Juliana’s call, so he immediately answered the phone.
“Julia, what’s wrong?”
“Why are you so careless, I’ll go back now!”
After listening to Juliana’s reply on the phone, Arthur hung up the phone and said to Lucia: “Lucia, Julia has a high fever, I have to go back immediately, will you come with me?”
Juliana has a fever?
Lucia recalled that in the afternoon, after she and she had disagreed at the exhibition, Juliana seemed to have her coat in her hand when she left, and not wanting to speculate more on whether her action was intentional, Lucia thoughtfully said:
“Then hurry back, I’m tired, so I won’t go over there.”
If you go again, I am afraid you will only aggravate Juliana’s condition.
“Well, then you take care of yourself, I’ll go first.” Arthur said and grabbed his jacket and left. Lucia walked to the window and watched the Rolls-Royce Phantom fly away downstairs, her heart filled with worry.
Juliana is in Arthur’s heart, and what will be the consequences of her own misunderstanding with her?
Lucia is a little afraid to think about it.
Juliana is indeed sick, and she did it on purpose, after breaking up with Lucia that day she deliberately walked into the cold air of early spring without a coat, and indeed in the evening began to run a high fever, and in order to delay Arthur, she deliberately threw the medicine into the toilet
In the meantime, Juliana can only use this stupid method to make Arthur have less contact with Lucia until Poppy can figure out a way to separate the two of them.
The consequence of Juliana’s avoidance of treatment is that she is seriously ill and hospitalized, and has contracted a mild pneumonia. Arthur feels self-condemned for this, because Qingmei has come back to visit herself, but she did not take good care of her, so she spent all the time she should have spent with Lucia in the hospital.
On the afternoon of Juliana’s second day in the hospital, after Arthur came to stay with her, she asked in a casual manner:
“How come we don’t see Lucia here?”
Arthur’s movements stalled and he looked apologetically at Juliana to explain: “Lucia was busy these two days and didn’t have time to come over.”
