Chapter 847 Lost and Found
After being reminded by Nia, everyone came to their senses, not because they didn't care about Lucia's situation, but because Casper's behavior was really unconvincing.
"Arthur, quickly take Lucia to the infirmary." Otis said, and by the way, ordered his men to start salvaging Spencer's body. Although he was unforgivable, he was still their relative after all, and salvaging the body can be regarded as the best he can do.
Arthur nodded when he heard the words. Without him doing anything, Lucia had already voluntarily leaned herself deeply into his arms. Her small face was covered with blood and tears, but when facing him, there was a smile on her face, like warm breeze in Spring.
"Idiot..." Knowing that she didn't want to worry him and forced a smile, Arthur cursed, picked up Lucia and walked towards the infirmary.
"Finally, there is no obstacle..." Although Spencer had just died, it was absolutely impossible for Lucia to feel sorry for him. Now that she was peacefully in Arthur's arms, Lucia felt all her worries were let go. Although her whole body was suffering from physical pain, her spirit was as relaxed and comfortable as floating in soft clouds. Since then, she never had to leave him even half a step.
Arthur was worried about Lucia's injury, but when he heard her words, he still curled his lips uncontrollably.
Yes, there was no obstacle.
Lucia passed out, whether it was too relaxed or the pain was unbearable. If it wasn't for her breathing evenly and smoothly, Arthur would probably run wildly. When he came to the infirmary with Lucia in his arms, Edwin and other people who were waiting outside saw them, and their expressions changed instantly. "Oh my God! Is Lucia okay?!" Helena was the most excited. She exclaimed, but then fell silent again in the next second, because Arthur shook his head lightly.
Everyone gathered around and looked at Lucia with concern while Arthur explained softly,
"Lucia is fine. Her arm is dislocated. Let her sleep for a while. How is mom doing?"
"It's okay. The doctor said the bullet didn't hurt the vitals. He just took it out." Edwin said, reassuring Arthur.
Hearing this, Arthur was relieved. The two beloved women were all fine, which was a great blessing to him.
Elliot was probably the only one who can think of Spencer at this time. He rushed to the infirmary only after Sophie was shot. He was worried after hearing Edwin say that Spencer hijacked Lucia and escaped. Now that Lucia came back safely, he couldn't help but think of Spencer.
"Arthur, where's Spencer?" Elliot hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Arthur's eyes moved slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
Elliot had experienced a lot in his life. How could he not understand the hidden meaning in his eyes?
A feeling of sourness rose from his heart. Even though Spencer was guilty of many crimes, he was his nephew after all. He lowered his head and sighed softly,
"Forget it, he deserves what he deserves."
"Elliot, we didn't do it." Otis, who had ordered his subordinates to come after him, happened to hear what Elliot said, so he told him and everyone what happened.
It wasn't that Otis was running away from anything. He said it and just wanted to let Elliot know that they hadn't completely broken the bond.
After listening to the whole process, Elliot had complicated emotions. He turned to Edwin and said,
"Edwin, I'll leave for a while. If there is any change on Sophie's side, please let me know immediately. You know where I can be found."
Edwin sighed slightly and nodded slightly.
"Elliot goes to see Erik, right?" Otis said complicatedly after Elliot left.
"Now he is the only one who is most suitable to tell Erik the news." Edwin said helplessly.
Not long after, there was a mournful cry from a certain cabin in the ship. It was the bitterness, and it was also the remorse and helplessness of a man who had lost everything.
Due to limited medical conditions on the ship, all medical staff were present in the infirmary for Sophie's operation. Arthur could only hold Lucia and wait outside the door temporarily. If Reynolds hadn't taken a chair for him, maybe Arthur would have been like this with her in his arms.
At some point, Esmae not cared about Lucia, but also Arthur who worried about her day and night. Seeing that he had been hugging Lucia, Esmae said softly,
"Arthur, why don't you take Lucia back to the cabin to rest? We'll let you know when Sophie's surgery is over."
Arthur looked up at Esmae gratefully, shook his head slightly and said,
"No, I want to wait for my mother to come out."
On the one hand, he was bound by family affection, and on the other hand, he was reluctant to part with his beloved woman. Only by waiting here silently, can Arthur get the best of both worlds. Seeing his persistence, Esmae couldn't help admiring him, and secretly scolded herself for being reckless before. How could she have misjudged him while he was such a loving and righteous man? Seeing Esmae frowning and staring at Arthur with guilt, Helena felt sour and satisfied in her heart. Then, she deliberately asked her mother,
"Mom, do you now know why I supported Lucia and Arthur's relationship?"
In the past, Esmae might not be able to admit her mistakes, but now it was different. She smiled embarrassedly and said,All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
"I see, you have a good eye."
"Of course," Helena raised her chin proudly. She held Otis on the arm and said,
"I picked this one better!"
Helena's mischievous moment made everyone smile, and the heavy atmosphere became much lighter. Edwin looked at Arthur who was hugging Lucia, and then at Otis who was hugging Helena, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Not long after, news finally came out in the infirmary that Sophie's operation was very successful. The first person to rush in was not Edwin, but Esmae. Seeing Sophie lying on the side of the operating table, Esmae finally couldn't help crying again. Like remorse, like relief.
At this time, Sophie was still under anesthesia and was guarded by medical staff. The surgeon began to treat Lucia non-stop. Lucia's arm was seriously injured. The red seal showed how much weight it bore at that time, and her neck was even more strangled, which was shocking.
"Doctor, is she all right?" Arthur asked immediately after the doctor examined Lucia's injury.
"Nothing serious. Her neck has some skin trauma. As long as her arm is corrected, but do I need to wake her up and correct it?" the doctor asked.
Arthur frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "No need."
