Chapter 410 Reynolds' reluctance

The phone call didn't solve Helena's doubts, but only made her more confused. When Helena returned to the ward, Shawn had already left with their father, and Esmae was talking softly with Lucia, while Reynolds stood by the balcony and always looked at Lucia.

Helena sighed in the bottom of her heart. Arthur's side of the matter was still unclear, while Reynolds was deep in love with Lucia. The relationship among these people was too complicated.

"Helena, where did you go just now?" Esmae asked her daughter when she saw her return.

"Company call," Helena said casually, then looked at Theodore and asked, "Is Teddy awake? It's been eight hours."

"No. I just asked the doctor. It's normal. Teddy will probably wake up in the middle of the night." Lucia told Helena with a light smile.

It was the first smile that relaxed Lucia since learning that Theodore was ill.

Helena looked at her light smile and noticed her haggardness, and felt nothing but pain in her heart, so she asked her,

"Lucia, you've been here in hospital for over half a month and haven't been home. Do you want to go back and get some sleep? I'll just take care of it here."

In fact, Lucia can also rest here, just never restful. Theodore will occasionally be in pain and whispering. The corridor will have sounds of footsteps and people talking from time to time. Doctors and nurses will go the rounds of the wards, change medication and infusion, so Lucia had not slept well for more than half a month.

Helena's offer was tempting, but Lucia shook her head and said, "No, Teddy will wake up looking for me."

"Lucia, I also think you should get some rest. Helena, Reynolds and I will stay here. I'll call you as soon as Teddy wakes up. Besides the hotel is not far away from here. I'll have the driver on call on the first floor, okay?" Esmae also advised Lucia, before adding.

"You really look too haggard now. Go rest."

Lucia was still hesitating when Reynolds suddenly uttered, "Mom, I'll take Lucia back."

"You stay here." Esmae vetoed without even looking at him. Reynolds deflated instantly. His mother's word was a no-brainer.

Helena knew Esmae's intention, so she took Lucia's arm and said, "Lucia, go back to the hotel and get a good sleep. Wake up refreshed to meet Teddy, OK?"

After Theodore's surgery was successful, Lucia felt tired after relaxing. After listening to Esmae and Helena's persuasion, she finally nodded her head.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest for a while. You must call me as soon as Teddy wakes up."

"Of course," Esmae nodded in agreement, got up and took Lucia's arm to lead her out of the ward. After being two or three meters from the door, she lowered her voice and said to Lucia, "Lucia, go see Spencer. He saved Teddy's life after all."

Lucia's brows furrowed at the words. She glanced at Esmae and pursed her lips.

"Lucia..." Esmae reminded her, "you should also go to see him for humanitarian reasons. Besides, you and he are about to get engaged. You two will always be together all day long. Getting used to each other early is best for the future."

Lucia resisted the urge to retort, thought for a moment and then nodded, "I know. I'll go check on him."

"Good," Esmae continued and was relieved that Lucia, who had been expected to refuse in a firm manner, had responded calmly.

"He's resting in the viewing ward in Dr. Clarke's office, so you can just push the door in without asking anyone else' permission." So he was hiding there?

Lucia sneered in her heart. In order to avoid the risk of being discovered by Arthur, Spencer can be considered to do everything possible. Today she was surprised to see another strange man and Theodore were pushed into the ward together, only later learned from Esmae that this was his pre-arranged blindfold. When the man left, Esmae played a thank-you scene at the cost of a million dollars.

Even if Arthur really left someone in the hospital, it was afraid they can not detect the abnormal ...

Lucia narrowed her eyes and thought bitterly.

But on the other hand, she didn't want Arthur to know the truth, because even if he did, so what? Spencer was her son's savior, and Esmae hadn't changed her hatred for the Davies family. This feud seemed never-ending...

When Lucia thought of this, the heart's truest self began to voice its protest. No, this was not the best solution, because she loved Arthur ah...

"Lucia?" Esmae called out uneasily to Lucia as she stared blankly at her who was thinking something.

Esmae also knew that there was a limit and she didn't want to push Lucia too hard at a time like this.

"It's okay. I was just in a daze," Lucia said as she raised her eyes and gave Esmae a light smile, "I'll go check on him now."

"That's good." Esmae smiled and watched her leave in the elevator before returning to the ward.

Just after entering the ward, Esmae received complaints from her son.

"Mom, why won't you let me take Lucia back?"

"Lucia's better than you, and she'll not be in danger. No need." Esmae responded indifferently.

"Mom, but I ..." Reynolds was reluctant but was cut off by his mother before he could finish his words.

"No need to say anymore!" Esmae gave Reynolds a sidelong glance and said,

"Do you think I don't know your intentions? Even now is Lucia's most vulnerable time, but the person who can give her rely on must not be you. When I have given Lucia a choice, she is not willing to bind you with a loveless marriage. I'm also not willing to see you live the rest of your life in the needless pursuit of Lucia. Hopeless is hopeless. What you have to do now is to learn to give up, not cling to!"

Reynolds listened to Esmae's words and his brows furrowed. His deep dark eyes looked unpredictable, reluctant and also helpless.

Esmae did not feel regretful. If Lucia was in love with Reynolds, then everything will be peaceful and uneventful.

Helena saw Reynolds change his face and immediately went over to him and held him and whispered, "Reynolds, mom is right. You'd better learn to let go ..."

Reynolds lowered his eyes and didn't reply. The secret feeling in his heart was no longer showed. Esmae and Helena saw him not say a word, and can only be helpless.

On the other hand, Lucia found the office specially for Dr. Clarke in the hospital. The office area was silent and deserted, with only an occasional nurse passing by in a hurry, so Lucia pushed the door in without much concern.
