Chapter 497 The News Of His Death

Paul had spent a lot of time accompanying them after he returned. Paula's condition was also slowly improving. In less than a month, she slowly regained consciousness. She got a short period of waking up, but as she was too weak, she fell asleep again.

Bram explained the situation to them. According to his words, since the patient had been in a coma for a long time, all her bodily functions and organs were dormant and could not be fully recovered in a short period. However, it was huge progress for Paula to wake up, and Paula would wake up longer the next time.

In the afternoon, Lucia finished lunch and rested on the swing in the hospital's back garden. She finally managed to log on to her chatting app. When she opened it, a few messages popped up. She didn't have time to read carefully. She found Elisa's avatar and saw that she had sent nearly a hundred messages to her and felt a little guilty. In the past month, because she had lost her mobile phone, she did not have the right to log in with her new mobile phone abroad. In addition, she had been busy taking care of Paula, so she didn't contact Bill and Elisa.

Now, she finally succeeded in logging into her account. When she saw the message from Elisa, she felt guilty.

She sent a video invitation to Elisa. Soon, the phone was connected, and Elisa's surprised face appeared on the screen. "Lucia!" Elisa was surprised and happy. She quickly asked, "Are you okay? Why is there no news from you? Your dad and I are worried about you. We thought something had happened to you..."

Lucia was moved and wanted to laugh. She raised the corner of her mouth and did not know where to start. Suddenly, she had the urge to cry. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry. I lost my mobile phone when I was on the plane, and then bought a new one abroad. I haven't had time to contact you...

When Elisa heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She scolded, "You kid, how can you not contact us... Do you know how worried your dad and I are?”

After hearing a round of scolding, Lucia saw Bill on the phone screen. He sat behind Elisa, frowned at Elisa, and said, "I told you that she was fine. She was with Mr. Thomas. What could happen to her?"

Elisa rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "I'm just worried! You know that the members of the Adams family went missing and died and that made me panic. I was afraid that Lucia would also be in trouble...”

She blurted out these words without thinking. Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and quickly stopped talking. She looked at Bill next to her in horror. Bill's face also darkened, as if he was blaming her for speaking something improperly.

Both sides of the screen fell into a short silence. Lucia was a little stunned. Lucia thought that she had heard it wrong, but when she saw the strange expressions on her parents’ faces, she realized something had happened.

She gasped and tried to ask in a calm voice, "Mom, what happened to the Adams family?"

Elisa turned her head and her face was a little pale. She moved her lips and wanted to say something, but she couldn't make up her mind about that. In the end, she shook her head and said, "Nothing... Nothing!"

Elisa had never been good at lying. Lucia had lived with her for more than 20 years. How could she not see that she was lying? Lucia slowly realized that something bad must have happened, and asked, "What's going on?"

While she was abroad, she had not seen the news in the Austos and knew nothing about what had happened in the past month. From what her mother had just said, could it be that something had happened to the Adams family?

The man's handsome face suddenly flashed through her mind, and a sense of uneasiness rose in her heart. Elisa wanted to hang up. Lucia gritted her teeth and asked, "Did something happen to the Adams family? Just tell me, mom!"

Seeing that they couldn't hide it anymore, Elisa and Bill looked at each other. Finally, Bill shook his head helplessly and said to Elisa, "Forget it, you said it all. It's better to tell her.”

Hearing this, Elisa looked hesitant. She paused for a moment and then said, "In the month that you were not in Austos, a huge change happened in the Adams family. August disappeared, and then Bishop was in charge of the Lion group. Not./ long after, the police found August's body in the suburbs, saying that he was attacked by wild animals while camping..."

Lucia's eyes suddenly opened wide, as if she didn't believe what she had just heard. Her face turned pale, and all the strength in her body seemed to have been sucked away. She suddenly felt it was difficult to breathe.

August's corpse...

These words echoed in her mind. Soon, she subconsciously shook her head and denied, "No, I don't believe that!"

How could someone as powerful and mighty as August suddenly die? She didn't believe it! Moreover, when she left Austos,

Dustin, the shareholder of the Lion group, had an accident. He was busy with this matter. How could he have the mood to go. camping?

All of this didn't make sense!

Lucia suddenly turned around, looked up at Elisa in the video, and asked, "Mom, who are you said is in charge of the Lion group?”

"Bishop Admas, the younger brother of August.”

Upon hearing the name of Bishop, Lucia suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and her limbs turned cold At some point, she stopped thinking of Bishop as a gentle, polite, and kind man who treats everyone well. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair and was very approachable to everyone, she inexplicably felt he was a cold and indifferent person. This man was definitely not as simple as he looked. And what happened between August and Bishop when she was making a short public service film changed her opinion of Bishop even more. Lucia gritted her teeth and held her phone tightly, and couldn't speak for a long time. Elisa on the other side of the screen saw her like this and asked worriedly, "Lucia, are you alright? Although you knew August before, what happened to his family had nothing to do with us. As long as you stay abroad and let me and your father see that you are healthy, we will be relieved..."

Before Elisa could finish speaking, Lucia interrupted her directly. She took a deep breath and said in a panic, "Mom, Dad, I still have something to do here. I'l hang up first!" After saying that, she hung up the phone in a hurry, then asked someone to give her access to the Outer Net.

After half an hour, the man apologized, "Sorry, your phone has been encrypted. There's nothing I can do.” Lucia was startled as she lowered her head to look at her new phone. She had just bought a mobile phone a month. How could it have been set up by someone?
