Luca pressed her lips together and swallowed her words of rejection. "Sorry to have troubled you," she said stiffly. Luke nodded and left the room, and Luca followed behind him. Bianca watched as the two people left the room one after another. She wished that she could step between them, but her condition did not allow her to do that. Meanwhile, Dr. Blake was still amazed that acupuncture could awaken an unconscious patient. He glanced at the trash bin in the room; there was a pile of needles inside. What he did not know was that Luca had only used two of them. Dr. Blake asked, "How do you feel now, Mrs. Crawford?" "A little tired…" Bianca answered. If she was resuscitated, there should not be major problems to her health. "I'm glad that you're feeling better." Dr. Blake heaved a sigh of relief. He still had his suspicions, but it was nonetheless good news that she managed to wake up. "I'm fine." Bianca wanted to sit up, but she did not have the strength to do so. Dr.
"Were you at the hospital just now?" Mo followed behind her into the elevator and wanted to probe more."Yes, I came from the hospital." Luca was unfazed with her questions and pressed the elevator button.She was almost certain that Bianca and Mo partnered up when she came to the company to look for her the last time. Otherwise, how would she know that Bianca was hospitalized?’Mo replied, "Then, is Mrs. Crawford doing better?""She’s doing much better," Luca answered casually. "Since you care about Mrs. Crawford so much, why don’t you visit her at the hospital?"Mo was stunned. She had seen the news of Bianca's hospitalization from social media but she never went to visit. Even if they were friends on social media, the gap between their status was like heaven and earth.‘Bianca may not want me to visit her…’"I've been...relatively busy these days," Mo explained with an awkward smile on her face.Luca nodded and did not expose her.After the elevator reached their floor, the
Luca touched Tommy's head, then shook her head and said, "This is my boss’ kid. I’m heading to New York for business."The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I thought you were his mother seeing how close the two of you are. You seem like a kind mother."Tommy finished drinking the water and handed the bottle cap to Luca. He said, "I like Ms. Luca the most!"Luca smiled. Every time he told her that he liked her, the joy in her heart was endless. She could never get sick of hearing it."He’s so cute. I’m sure his parents are great-looking since he’s such a cute child." The middle-aged woman said with envy. She liked good-looking children.Luca smiled and said nothing.As Tommy’s mother, she was happy that her child was being praised. Although Tommy got most of Luke’s good genes, she still contributed.Tommy blinked his eyes and said proudly, "Daddy is very handsome."He only praised his dad but did not mention his mother. The middle-aged woman noticed that and teased him. "How
"Will do," Jason replied while handling his luggage. He looked at the five people walking behind him and said, "Let's go to the hotel first. The car is waiting at Exit D.""Okay." Dr. Albus dragged his luggage and looked at Jason. Then, his probing eyes fell on Luca and Tommy again.Luke did not react to Tommy being so close to Luca.He acted as if Tommy should be with Luca.Two Rolls-Royce vehicles were parked at exit D. In the bustling New York, there was no shortage of luxury cars but these cars made it extra scenic.When Luke got closer to the cars, the drivers got out of the cars and opened the doors.Luca watched Luke walk toward the car in front and was about to get into the second car, but Tommy tugged on her sleeves."Ms. Luca, let's take that one." He pointed to the one parked in front."You can go." Luca let go and was not planning to get into Luke's car.Although it was uncomfortable for her to squeeze in a Rolls-Royce with three men, she preferred it over being in
Luke raised his eyebrows and looked down at his son without saying anything.Tommy put his hands on his waist, looking like he was about to give Luke a lecture. "Daddy, can you arrange for Ms. Luca to stay on the same floor as us next time?”Apart from them, the only other person in the elevator was the lift attendant. Luke was not worried about letting him overhear their conversation. "The company has limited funds."Tommy was young and did not know what limited funding meant, but he knew that funding was money."Daddy, you’re not short of money!" he retorted.Luke looked at his son. This was a six-star hotel. Even if it was just a standard room, the environment was top-notch. He knew what Tommy was thinking about and deliberately asked, "Why do you want her to stay on the same floor?"Tommy said honestly, "It’ll be easier for me to go look for her."It was obvious that Tommy was reliant on Luca.When they reached their floor, Luke pulled the suitcase with his left hand and he
Tommy heard the sound of the door opening and closing. He opened his eyes and calmed the restlessness in his heart. After waiting for a long time, he crawled out of bed.He gently pushed open the bedroom door and glanced at the living room. There was no one.‘Daddy must have gone to bed.’Tommy smiled cheekily. He decided to go find her alone since Luke would not let Ms. Luca stay with him.They were all in the same hotel anyway. It was not considered as running away from home.Tommy thought about it for a little and walked to the door. He looked at the locked door and jumped a few times before he finally opened it. Then, he walked out without a second thought.Luke was in the bedroom and opened his eyes when he heard the door opening.He had yet to fall asleep, and his bedroom door was not shut. A tiny squeak was enough to wake him up. Tommy walked to the elevator and pressed the button. After he waited for a while, the elevator door opened slowly. When the elevator attendant
Tommy listened to her and replied in a slightly frustrated tone, "Ms. Luca, you and Daddy said exactly the same thing."Luca was stunned.Tommy continued, "However, Daddy and Mommy are husband and wife but they don’t sleep in the same room..."Luca had known about that for a while and was a little happy about it. She touched his head and said, "Okay, let’s move on from this. Promise me that you won’t do this again. This is dangerous.""This is the hotel." Tommy did not understand why it would be dangerous. After all, his Daddy and Luca were both here."Who said that the hotel is safe? Have you ever thought that if the person in the elevator was bad, you wouldn’t see me ever again?" Luca frowned when she heard what he said. This kid needed to improve his safety awareness. The last time, he was almost bullied by gangsters. Not long after, he still dared to run up and down in the hotel in the middle of the night.Personal safety was not something to be joked about!"I know I di
Luca could not help but click on his picture. The group photo was enlarged on the screen.She still remembered that memory from three years ago. The weather was wonderful and the sun was warm. The wildflowers were in full bloom and were fragrant. There was an atmosphere of happiness all around.That day, their kids had a great time playing around. Luke, whose expression was mostly cold, also showed a bright smile on his face.Luca remembered everything from that day clearly. She looked at the photo, the corners of her mouth slightly raised as she touched the screen."Ms. Luca..." Tommy's muttering interrupted her.Luca turned off her screen, turned sideways, and looked at Tommy. He was close to her. She asked in a soft voice, "What's the matter?""I want a hug..." Tommy had not fully woken up. His voice was sleepy and he acted like a baby.Luca smiled softly, took him into her arms, and whispered, "It's still early, go back to bed."Tommy closed his eyes and felt extremely happ
