Luca kept yammering. The more Amur listened to her, the more touched he felt. How wonderful would it be cared for by her forever?She had seen him when he was at the weakest moment in his life. She encouraged him to be brave and grow up. He had also seen her when she was at the lowest point in her life. He had silently kept her company. They had been through so much together but she had never fallen for him. Was he not good enough? He was indeed not good enough compared to the one in her heart. Luca asked again when she did not hear any reply from him, “Amur, are you listening?”“I’m listening. My wound is fine. I’ve changed the dressing. Don’t worry.” Amur snapped back to his senses and replied to her.Luca was relieved when she heard him.The doorbell rang. She wondered if it was Tina at the door. She said to Amur, “That’s great. Stay safe. I’ll talk to you later.”Amur wanted to ask her what she was busy with since she came here for a trip. However, she hung up the phone
The swimming pool was 50-meter long. Two laps would be a hundred meters. Luca stood far away and watched them compete with a lack of interest.“Dr. Craw, it might be boring now. But it’s going to get exciting when it comes to the women’s team,” Tina blinked playfully. “Oh?” Luca looked at her."Most of the employees in the company are young. Look at how sexy and pretty they are. They'll do their best to win the competition," said Tina. To be fair, there would be a champion for the men's and women's teams respectively.Luca understood what she meant. She was trying to say that the competition between women was always fiercer than men.Luke only appeared when the competition for the men's team was about to end. He was wearing his sunglasses and was casually dressed. He looked peculiar as everyone surrounding him was in their swimwear. His appearance heightened the atmosphere at the swimming pool.The female employee beside Tina could not help but murmur in a soft voice. "Why i
Luca stood beside the pool and casually did some stretching. Jason saw that they were almost done warming up and said, “Ready, set, go!”The few of them jumped into the water.Luca was no exception. She did the right posture and jumped right into the water.Everyone on the team was trying their best to swim as fast as they could to win the prize and leave a good impression in front of Luke. Luca wanted to relax, but the thought of Luke watching her came across her mind. She pursed her lips and held her breath to keep swimming.Jason was watching the situation in the swimming pool. Everyone was fiercely competitive except for Luca…Her swimming posture was way too special. It was indescribable, and she was far behind from the others. When Luca was swimming forward, she could hear loud cheers and claps at the same time. Some of them were cheering for her.However, she was unable to chase after the rest. She felt like she had been swimming for a decade although it was only 5
Luke thought that Tina's suggestion made sense. He picked Luca up, went to the bathroom, and placed Luca in the bathtub. "I'll help Dr. Craw clean up, Mr. Crawford. You should step outside for a while," Tina said. "Mm." Luke shot a glance at Luca. Her arms were propped to the sides of the bathtub so that she did not slide. Her eyes remained closed, but she was conscious. Luke stepped out of the bathroom. Tina went inside and closed the door. "Pardon me," she muttered under her breath before walking over to the bathtub. "Let me help you clean up, Dr. Craw. The water in the pool isn't clean." Luca did not open her eyes or give any reaction. Tina treated her silence as acknowledgment. She turned on the taps and started cleaning Luca. They were both women, so Tina did not feel embarrassed. She deftly cleaned Luca's body while carrying out the task Luke had tasked her. She had been wondering how she would accomplish the mission. Fortunately for her, Luca's accident at the
Which was more important - The competition or taking care of Luca? The answer was, of course, the latter. However, if Tina did not worry about Luca's condition, Zoey thought that she should stay out of it as well. Zoey smiled and cheered for Tina, "All the best, Tina!" Tina smiled, seeing that Zoey did not insist on going to Luca's room. She said to Jason, "Let's continue, Mr. Doyle. It's almost lunchtime. We can all go and have lunch once the competition ends." "Alright, all the contestants in the finals, let's get prepared, and we'll start the finals in ten minutes," Jason announced. Everyone performed their warm-up exercises seriously because they did not want to end up like Luca. In the end, Tina won first place. After the competition, they took a shower and went to the restaurant. Tina walked together with Jason. She asked him softly, "Mr. Doyle, should we pack some lunch for Mr. Crawford and Dr. Craw?" Jason thought for a bit and shook his head. "If Mr. Crawford d
In the afternoon, Tina bought some fruits from the supermarket downstairs and came to Luca's room. After Luca opened the door, Tina glanced at her and asked, "Is Mr. Crawford still inside?" "He left quite some time ago," Luca explained hastily in case Tina misunderstood something. Seeing that Luca was quite nervous, Tina waved her hand and smiled. "Don't worry. I didn't tell anyone what happened earlier this morning. I know Mr. Crawford's character, and I don't think he'd do anything out of line." Tina walked in, and Luca closed the door. Tina placed the bag of fruits on the coffee table and said, "I was at the supermarket buying some fruits earlier, and I accidentally bought some extra. Here, have some." "Thank you." Luca did not refuse. She knew that Tina had specifically bought the fruits for her. "Right, do you feel better now? I was so afraid earlier. If I had known that you can't swim, I wouldn't have goaded you into competing." Tina felt guilty even though she was
Tina nodded and said, "I wanted to invite you, but you said that you're not into exercise. That's why I invited Dr. Craw to go along with me." Zoey placed her plate on the table. "Yeah, I'd rather not spend my vacation time on tiring activities like hiking. There are many more fun things to do here. I've heard there's a theme park and a karaoke center nearby, so I'd rather go to those places than hiking. Isn't that so, Ms. Lynn?" Jenni sat down on another seat at the table. She looked at Luca, wondering how she could be up and about when she nearly drowned the day before. She thought that Luca had faked the drowning to evoke Luke's pity. "It's up to the individual how they want to enjoy their vacation, Zoey. I'm quite surprised, though, from Dr. Craw's behavior in the pool yesterday, I thought that she's not very active. Why are you going hiking today, Dr. Craw?" Jenni asked. Luca could hear the sarcasm in her voice. Luca was deathly pale after she was fished out of the pool th
Tina could see that the two men were here to hike up Mount Jadeite. She shot a glance at Luca. Luca did not enjoy crowded places, but two more people did not crowd up the place at all… "Why don't we go together?" Tina asked. Luca did not say anything. She knew that Luke would definitely be joining them the moment she saw him. Even if Tina did not invite them, they would be hiking up the same trail anyway. It did not really matter if Tina invited them. That was why Luca kept quiet. "Mr. Crawford? What do you think?" Jason turned his head to look at Luke. They did not mean to follow Luca. Luke was tired of working during vacation time, so he suggested they hike up Mount Jadeite. Naturally, as his assistant, Jason had to go too. Fortunately, Jason enjoyed hiking. "We'll go together," Luke said. He went to the stall to buy a map and two trekking poles, then handed a trekking pole to Jason. "Thank you, Mr. Crawford," Jason said as he took it. Luca spread the map open and
