He looked at the badly injured Luca. She would not be able to eat anything, not even porridge. With her condition now, she needed someone to feed her little by little.Johann suggested, “I’ll give Dr. Craw an IV drip so she won’t feel hungry. But she’s lost a lot of blood. She needs to restore her nutrition. You can get someone to prepare some oatmeal for her. You’ll have to find a way to make her get used to eating it, or maybe feed her when she’s awake. She must eat something.” "Alright." Luke picked up his phone and ordered Mrs. Nancy to prepare some oatmeal to send to the hospital.Crawford Manor.Mrs. Nancy told Mr. Griffin that Luca was injured right after she received Luke’s order.Previously, Old Master Crawford and Mr. Griffin had already known that Luca was kidnapped. The old master was worried sick, and he even sent his men to look for her.Mr. Griffin told Old Master Crawford about the news immediately after he was informed.Old Master Crawford could barely sit st
Old Master Crawford frowned, and he said worriedly, "The IV drip won't supply as many nutrients as food does. She should take the oatmeal while it's still warm." Luca was still asleep, and Luke could not bear to wake her up. He glanced at the thermos flask on the coffee table and reminded the old master that the oatmeal would not get cold that easily. "The oatmeal is in the thermos flask." Old Master Crawford cleared his throat. He was so worried about Luca that he forgot Mrs. Nancy had kept it in a thermos flask that could keep the food inside warm for six to seven hours.After a while, Jason entered Luca's ward along with the printed document. Then, he handed it to the old master respectfully.Old Master Crawford took it from him and read the information that they had found out. Indeed, Pierre had established a company of his own. He had raised quite a huge amount of funds, and his company was even listed on the market in New York. "Good gracious. I thought he was a good-for-
“What do you mean? He just wants to run a business of his own. What can he do with such a small amount of money? Just get over it. There’s no need to ask him to come back.” Old Master Mallory refused to believe that Pierre had his eyes on T Corporation. Therefore, he had no intention of asking Pierre to come back.After all, he was surprised to know that Pierre had started his career now. "Hah, I've seen a lot in the business world after all these years. I wouldn’t be mad at Pierre if he goes after T Corporation and tries to steal my business if he were truly capable. That could only mean that Luke isn’t capable enough. And I don't mind him destroying our business partnership that has lasted for years, but Pierre is playing dirty to force Luke to give up the project in Europe. Tell me, does that make any sense? Not only is he ruining the relationship between our families but he’s not even taking other people’s lives seriously. I'm not going to let him get away with this." Old Ma
Luke could hear sounds from the ward bed, which made him stand up unconsciously before heading over. When he saw Luca slowly opening her eyes, there was a piercing pain in his heart as if someone was hitting it with a wooden stick. The woman he cherished a lot had encountered such misfortune…Luca opened her eyes and saw the man who was staring at her. She could not stop her eyes from being filled with tears.Luke saw her reddened eyes and he thought her face was hurting. He asked, “Do you want the nurse to give you another injection to relieve your pain?”Luca shook her head. She was able to endure the pain.She looked around her and realized she was in the hospital. Luke had rescued her out of Pierre’s villa and sent her to the hospital. She was safe now…Luca did not expect him to be able to find her so quickly. He even went there personally to save her. Could this mean that she was important to him?She felt a hint of sweetness at the thought of this even though she was
After Johann left, Luke opened the thermos flask and poured the oatmeal into a bowl.The oatmeal was still warm as it was cooked not long ago. He placed the bowl on the table to let it cool down for a few minutes. Then, he grabbed a spoon and walked to the bedside. “Have some oatmeal, okay?”Luca nodded.She was well aware of her current condition, so she knew that she could not behave unreasonably. She should eat more if she could. Luke picked up the spoon, sat down on the chair beside the bed, and fed her with the spoon. Luca tried to open her mouth. She could only manage to open it slightly wider. Her cheek muscles seemed to burn. It was as if they were protesting against her trying to open her mouth.Luke could not bear to see her in pain when he realized she could not open her mouth. He picked up the spoon and said, “Do you want to try using a straw?” Luca nodded. It would be easier for her.Luke picked up a clean straw and put it in the oatmeal, then he moved it closer
When Luke noticed that Nina was not speaking for a while, he spoke again, “Is there anything you want to say?” “Aren’t you too concerned about Luca?” Nina narrowed her eyes and asked. She admired Luca very much and treated her as a friend. However, Bianca was her friend too.Therefore, she could not accept that something was going on between Luca and Luke.Luke raised his brows and asked, “Why do you ask?”“You’re a married man. Although Bianca is abroad now, you can’t do such terrible things to her because of that. Do you understand?” Nina warned him.As Luke listened to her defending Bianca, he wondered what her reaction would be if she knew that Luca and Bianca were the same person.However, he could not tell her about this now.Luke replied, “Mind your own business.”“I don’t mean to mind your business, but Luca is a good person. I don’t want you to approach her too closely and get blamed for it.” Nina clenched her fists. She was worried about Luke’s mischievous attitude
Nina put her phone back in her bag.She took the initiative to take care of Luca because she saw that Luke was here and she wanted them to keep a distance from each other.After she decided to stay here and look after Luca, she realized that she had not prepared anything.Nina thought for a moment and took her phone out again. She thought of asking Sue to bring her necessities over when she got off work. That way, she could visit Luca at the hospital as well.She saw a friend request when she opened her Instagram.Nina was startled for a while. It was a friend request from Percy. She deleted him when she ended her toxic relationship with him back then. She did not block him as she thought he would not be shameless enough to pester her. However, he had sent her a friend request now. Did he have anything to tell her?Nina looked at the friend request. She thought it was probably nothing important since there was nothing written in the message box. She did not approve or rejec
Besides, although Percy was his biological elder brother, he was obviously closer to Luke.Hence, Pierre was not counting on Percy to help him. “I have to stay here for another night. Clean your room. I’m not used to staying in a messy room,” Pierre ordered Liam like a boss.Liam responded and stood up to clean up the master bedroom for Pierre. It was all for the sake of his business. Pierre snubbed out the cigarette and took his time to make a call to Old Master Mallory.The call was answered, and the old master immediately snapped at him from the other end of the call. “Pierre Mallory, where the hell have you been?”“Grandpa, I’m drinking at a friend’s house. Why? Did someone piss you off?” Pierre pretended to sound like he was tipsy and asked lazily.The old master listened to him and spoke in a serious tone, "Who's that friend? You're hiding from the police now, aren’t you? Come home now!" “What did I do that I should hide from the police? I can’t go back after drinking.
