Chapter 849 I feel guilty

Casper and Nia were having trouble, and Sophie had been transferred from the infirmary back to the cabin. Although she was not awake yet, she was in a stable condition. After staying by her side for a long time, Lucia finally listened to everyone's advice and went back to the room with Arthur to rest first.

Lucia originally wanted to take the baby with her, but Arthur knew that her current condition was really not suitable for taking care of the baby, so he handed the baby over to Esmae and Helena to take care of her and help Lucia take care of herself first.

Walking into the bathroom, looking at the pale face reflected in the mirror, Lucia realized how haggard and embarrassed she was.

Touching the strangle marks on her neck, Lucia almost forgot how she was held hostage by Spencer. At this time, another person walked into the mirror, which was Arthur.

Arthur stood behind Lucia, looking at her in the mirror with distress. This woman who should have been held in his hands and cared for had suffered so much torture in vain. Arthur only felt that he was incompetent.

Raising his hand to cover Lucia's hand touching the scar, Arthur revealed the guilt in his heart.

"Lucia, I'm sorry for making you suffer. If only I had been more decisive, if I had..."

Before Arthur finished speaking, Lucia turned around and looked up at him. When he was looking into Lucia's shining eyes, his words stopped abruptly.

"Don't say such things," Lucia told Arthur with a faint smile on her lips.

"Everything that happened to me was not caused by you. Spencer is ambitious and will explode one day. Although he took such a big risk this time, everything is fine now. Aunt Sophie and Auntie have settled down, and Auntie understands your care for me, which is the best ending for us."

Listening to Lucia's words, Arthur didn't feel any better. Instead, he felt that if she scolded him a few words, maybe he could feel relieved.

As she saw that Arthur was still frowning, that heroic handsome face was not a bit domineering at this time, but looked like an aggrieved child's, Lucia's smile deepened. She tiptoed and tapped his lips lightly. Her face slightly turned red and she comforted him,

"Don't think so much. Am I standing here properly?"

It was the greatest blessing to be so close to each other, but now to be intimate. Arthur did not hesitate to reach out and hug Lucia to deepen that kiss, using his perception to appreciate the happiness lost and regained.

The bath, of course, was done by Arthur for Lucia. Although the process was rather ambiguous, because of Lucia's injury, Arthur really became a warrior. Until Lucia came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe, his face was still very red.

Seeing Arthur deflated, Lucia smiled even more happily.

Arthur had never been so embarrassed before. He brushed his hair irritably, quickly looked away from Lucia's face, and changed the subject and asked,

"By the way, what did Spencer say to you at the end? You seem to have developed some sort of strange emotion toward Casper."

Arthur wouldn't miss a single wave of Lucia's mind and the way she looked at Casper on deck.

When he referred to Spencer's last words, the smile on Lucia's face faded a bit, and she sat down on the bed and replied,

"Spencer said to me, watch out for Casper."

Those words had profound meanings.

"Watch out for Casper?" Arthur raised his eyebrows and sat down next to Lucia, feeling vainly confused.

"Spencer wanted to live," Lucia continued, nodding.

"You know what his last act was for. We all know this man well. He was just trying to sell favors. He seemed to make my life easier. In fact, he was just sure that if he fell into the sea, you would definitely send someone to rescue him. So what he said at the time should not be as simple as it seems on the surface, but he didn't expect Casper to appear suddenly. He died, and there was no chance to explain it."

"It stands to reason that although he and Casper had a feud, Casper is just someone close to Nia. Even if he wants to warn something, it should be about Nia. Why did he deliberately mention Casper? Could it be that he discovered something?" Arthur thought quickly. It didn't take long to sense Spencer's intentions.

"He must have caught something against Casper, and I'm sure Casper is very afraid of this." Lucia said with a glowing gaze.

"Lucia, you're smart," Arthur praised, not forgetting to kiss Lucia on the head, and continued,

"Although Casper comes from a complicated background, his past investigation reveals that he's very innocent. However, after he shot and killed him on the deck at that time, he did not panic." Lucia nodded, leaned into Arthur's arms and frowned slightly, saying,

"What the hell did Spencer find?"

Seeing that Lucia was very worried, Arthur regretted using this topic to divert his attention. What Lucia needed now was rest.

Raising his hand to caress Lucia's cheek, Arthur said,

"It's my fault. I brought this up suddenly. You should take a good rest now. We'll investigate the reason later."

Hearing Arthur's annoyed words, Lucia couldn't help but find it funny. Didn't he just bring it up on his own initiative?

However, after so much, Lucia was indeed tired.

Before closing her eyes, Lucia grabbed Arthur's skirt and said,

"Arthur, stay with me all the time."

Arthur curled his lips and smiled, and after kissing on the top of Lucia's head, he replied softly,

"Of course, always with you." owns this.

Sophie's anesthesia faded five hours after the operation. When she woke up, she unexpectedly found that it was not her husband Edwin, but Esmae and Helena, and of course, the little baby who was sleeping next to her. There was nothing happier than being able to see the baby as soon as she opened her eyes. Although Sophie was in pain, she still smiled and looked at the baby's sleeping face for a while, and then asked Esmae,

"Esmae, where's Edwin?"

"He went to Elliot's. Elliot has been depressed since he told Erik the bad news in the afternoon. Edwin was a little worried and went to him." Esmae explained.

Sophie smiled, and could rest assured to hand herself over to Esmae's care. It seemed that her husband knew that they had settled down.

Seeing Sophie still smiling, Esmae couldn't express the sadness in her heart. She tucked the quilt for her and said,

"You... shouldn't have been so impulsive..."

"It's really a little impulsive," Sophie didn't deny it, but said, "But the body moves faster than the brain."
