Luca did not expect the matter to blow up when she decided to mail the package to Queenie. She had expected the Normans to keep the matter under wraps, even if Queenie had to go to the hospital for a checkup. Naturally, she had forgotten about Luke's involvement. Luke's status meant that his mere presence would cause drama. Luca knew that all the reporters would want to pin a camera on him if they could. His frequent appearances in the hospital gained attention. When Queenie's report was released, the media outlets reported on it. The reporters continued to find information about her toxicology test and the reasons behind her poisoning. Naturally, they also found out about the antidote in the mysterious package. The development of the matter had exceeded Luca's expectations, and she was not sure how to deal with it. Luke turned around and looked coldly at her. Luca lowered her head and did not meet his gaze. Luke opened the door and left. The moment the door closed, L
Bianca slightly narrowed her eyes. 'Just a slight fever? I guess the pill isn't fully in effect yet.' She shook her head and replied to the doctor, "I don't know." "It's not too serious yet, so you don't have to take any medicine. Sleep with a blanket tonight and see if you can sweat the fever out. I'll prescribe some medicine just in case, so you can take it if you're not feeling any better, alright?" Dr. Cairn said to her. He was not too worried because her temperature was not too high. Bianca frowned and nodded. She was not too bothered because she knew that the pill was causing the fever. Her condition was going to deteriorate anyway, and even if she did not take any medicine, she would recover in a month anyway. She nodded just to keep the doctor off her back. It was better than giving the doctor the impression that she did not listen to him. Dr. Cairn nodded and told the butler, "Madam is sick often, and maybe the medication doesn't have much effect on her. Can you ge
Bianca was not very happy when she heard that. She was expecting Luke to take care of her. She slowly opened her eyes. She did not have to pretend that she was weak because she was already uncomfortable enough. "I'm not feeling very well, Luke," Bianca said softly to evoke Luke's pity. At the same time, she was wondering why her temperature was so low even though she felt much worse. "You'll be fine. Just have some rest." Luke tucked her in, though he suddenly thought of Luca at that moment. Luca must have suffered a lot when she was fighting the effects of the drug, but she said nothing at all. Instead, she had closed her eyes and grabbed onto the bed sheets tightly. When Luke stepped out of the bathroom in the hotel, he noticed the creases on the bedsheets and realized that she had not complained one bit. "Luke…" Bianca wanted to tell Luke to accompany her, but she could not finish her sentence. Luke came to his senses. By comparing the two women who were feeling unwell a
Luke and Bianca got into the car. Eventually, Luke managed to get Bianca admitted. Johann performed a brief examination on Bianca, took off his stethoscope, and said, "She has a high fever alright, and she's slightly dehydrated after one night. I'll get the nurse to hook her up to a saline drip and prescribe some medication. Don't worry. She'll be fine." "Mm." Luke nodded. Johann put the stethoscope into his pocket, glanced at Bianca, then at Luke curiously. He wondered when Luke had left the hotel room. Did he wait until Luca regained consciousness? "Yes?" Luke asked. Johann shook his head. Even though Bianca was asleep, it was not appropriate to discuss private matters in the hospital. He said, "It's nothing. I'll get the director of internal medicine to keep an eye on your wife. I need to go to New York tonight for a medical conference." "Mm," Luke replied. Johann felt relieved that Luke was willing to let him go. He was worried that Luke would insist that he take
It was quite slow to find someone using the program. Luca leaned on the couch with her eyes slightly closed. She became impatient after a while. She plugged the laptop into the power source, stood up, and went to rest in her bedroom. Even though her strength had returned, she still felt quite sluggish. She glanced at her laptop, yawned, and went back into her bedroom. She looked at the door of the next room and shook her head. Back in her bedroom, she set an alarm on her phone, sent a message to Cole saying that she would be taking the day off, and plugged her phone into the power source. No matter what, she would not let Amur act alone. Abel was in A City, so Amur should finish his mission as soon as possible and return to the Island. Danger lurked wherever Abel was. She did not want Amur to remain in A City. Luca closed the curtains and lay on the bed. She might not have been able to sleep if it were any other day, but she quickly fell asleep thanks to the drugs. Me
Bianca gave the chattering caretaker a side-eye. How dare a mere servant talk back to her? Luke was not around, and she had no reason to put on her disguise. "Shut up," she said. The caretaker was shocked when she realized that she had spoken too much. "Sorry, Madam," she said while nodding. She knew that she was only a servant in the household, and she should not have meddled in her employers' affairs, but she could not bear to see Bianca being so sad and aggrieved. She did not expect that Bianca did not want her pity. The caretaker glanced at the flask and said, "Madam, the cook prepared some clear broth for you. Do you want it now?" "No. I don't want to eat anything," Bianca refused the caretaker's offer without hesitation. She tried to reach into her pocket, but she realized that she was wearing only a hospital gown. "Where's my phone?" She asked. "It's in the drawer." The caretaker took out Bianca's phone from the drawer and handed it to her. Bianca felt a lot better
"The cupcakes are for my guest. How can you buy cheap ones?" Bianca chided, thinking that the caretaker was deliberately tarnishing her reputation. The caretaker felt aggrieved, but she was afraid that she might lose her job. She could only apologize. "Sorry, Madam. I'll go and get new cupcakes for your guest." Grace thought that Bianca and the caretaker were being dramatic. She shook her head and said, "It's fine, Bianca. I don't think she's usually this inconsiderate, but I'm sure it's because she wants to take care of you. The cupcakes aren't very delicious, but I can get some better ones delivered. Do you want to eat anything?" "Alright then. You don't have to get any food for me. When I'm better, I'll treat you to some delicious dessert," Bianca said with a smile, then glared angrily at the caretaker. The caretaker had bought cheap cupcakes for her guest. If Grace was not so magnanimous, she might even think that Bianca was neglected in the household. The caretaker smile
Amur woke up in the evening. Seeing that it was almost time, he opened the door to make some preparations for his mission. After he left his bedroom, he was surprised to see Luca sitting on the couch. "Why aren't you at work?" "I was drugged, so I needed the rest. I took the day off." Luca saw that Amur was dressed in black. "Are you going on your mission?" Black was the best color to hide something, such as oneself in the dark of the night, or the wounds on one's body… "Mm." Amur nodded. Luca stood up and removed her jacket. She was also dressed in black. "Are you…" Amur seemed to have realized something. "I told you that I'm coming along with you on the mission. You're already injured once, Amur. I can't let you get injured again. As long as you're in A City, I'll take care of you on Eler's behalf." 'Is it just because of Eler?' There was a hint of disappointment in Amur's eyes. He did not want Luca to risk her life with him, but she insisted on going, and he could
