"Yes, sir." The bar manager heard it and quickly rushed to the scene. He quickly agreed to it after knowing that Percy had no intention of putting the blame on them.He prayed so hard for Percy to push all the blame onto the youngsters, who did not know their standings in society.Percy looked at Luke, who was lying on the ground and exchanged looks with Jim.'This time, he really got into an accident. It's just that this time, he was knocked down by others…'"Later I'll follow the ambulance to escort him to the hospital. You head back home first," Percy said to Jim. Currently, Jim's wife was pregnant with her third child, and it would not be appropriate for him to go back home late.Percy would just explain to Nina."Alright, just give me a call if there's anything," Jim said.After some time, the ambulance arrived at the scene. With the help of a few health care workers, Luke was placed on the stretcher and Percy boarded the ambulance, heading toward the hospital.In the ambu
Luca nodded and rushed to leave.She sat in the car and cautiously drove out of the villa.At that moment, it was already past midnight. The thought of Luke might be facing all sorts of situations in the hospital made her drive faster as there were not many cars on the road as well.She rushed to the hospital and rushed to park the car and headed to the main building of the hospital.Because she had previously enquired that Luke was currently at the emergency department, she then rushed her way over there.Percy saw her rushing there and was unable to conceal the anxious look on her face that made him think about it. 'Maybe Luke got lucky out of this accident.'The instant Luca saw Percy, she rushed to him. "Mr. Mallory, where's Mr. Crawford?""He just underwent all the investigations. Now the doctors are in there discussing the management," Percy said."Then did the doctors say anything?" Luca asked cautiously. Her heart was racing, afraid she might be hearing bad news.Percy
Percy heard Luca saying it as if she was reading a report, repeating Johann's speech in detail, and it made him laugh.He opened the bottle of water to hide away the urge to laugh and took two mouthfuls of water. Then, he comforted Luca, "This time, Luke has met with an accident. Dr. Craw, it seems that I'll have to trouble you."Luca looked at him and was feeling much suspicious.She did not express her intention to stay back to look after Luke, but he had assumed that she would for sure stay back.Seeing that she was not talking made Percy ask intentionally, "What's wrong? Any problem?""No…" Luca said slowly."After all Jason is busy with issues in the T Corporation. If you can't stay back to look after him, I guess that leaves me no choice but to notify the people In the Crawford Manor." Percy took another sip of water. "But to make it clear, only old master Crawford is the only one in the entire Crawford Manor who cares about Luke. But he's already so old. I heard that he ha
Given the weather, it was hard to make out that it was currently already in the morning, but Luke had indeed passed out the entire night.Her faint hoarse voice traveled into his ears, and it made Luke go pale.Throughout the entire night, he lost his senses, and the mastermind behind all of these was because of a motorcycle.Luke wanted to sit up. Luca saw it and quickly reminded, "Mr. Crawford, it's best if you don't sit up right now."Luke slowly lifted his head and the feeling of dizziness made him lie back on his pillow. "What's wrong?""Dr. Park said that you have a slight concussion. It's best if you lie down and get some rest." Luca saw him frowning and without him saying anything, she knew he was dizzy.She had experienced having a concussion and that feeling was unpleasant."Was it because of the accident as well?" Luke has an awful expression. Because of an accident, he ended up in such a state and it made him feel embarrassing.'Besides, those road bikers…'He slow
The treatment that Johann talked about was the care given to him by Luca.After five minutes, the healthcare workers followed his order and entered the CT room.Johann tapped on the head of the bed as if he was tapping on Luke's shoulder. "Even though you will have to spend the remaining one month on the wheeling chair, I hope you will enjoy it. After all, fracturing your bone is not a small matter. Come, let's return to the ward."The healthcare workers heard it and sent Luke back to the ward.Luca was not in the ward.Johann turned around and looked at Luke, who was placed in position. Pfft. "Has Dr. Craw left?""She wouldn't," said Luke with confidence. 'Luca is not such a person.'Even if she was avoiding Jim, she would not simply leave him. After all, he was still in the hospital and would not just leave without saying a word.Besides, even if Luca did not say anything, she did not put on an expression showing she was heartbroken.However, he could still vaguely feel it.
Luke closed his eyes and lay on the bed. His face looked awful because he was feeling dizzy. "You help me with it."Luca knew he was already at his limit and did not hesitate and helped him get his face washed. Then, she lowered the bed.The head of the bed was slowly lowered and after Luke felt much better, he said, "That's the way."Luca's action came to a halt. She got up and said, "I'll go and pour the water away, Mr. Crawford. Then, only I'll serve you the breakfast.""Alright." Luke closed his eyes. He had yet to recover from the dizziness he had from earlier and just laid there quietly.Luca carried the basin to the toilet and poured the water away. Then, she squeezed the towel dry and hung it on the hanger to dry it.She walked out of the bathroom and looked at Luke.Earlier he was still having a pale look and currently, he looked much better. She knew he was feeling much better. Hence, she opened up the lunch box and softly asked, "Do you want some porridge, Mr. Crawfor
Luca looked at Tina thankfully and said, “Thank you.”“Don’t mention it. Take a look at these. Is there anything you need?” Tina shook her head. She had yet to know Luca’s true identity, and she just thought it was tough for Luca to take care of Luke. After all, Tina knew how unpredictable Luke could be and how hard it was to serve him.“Alright. Let me see.” Luca was still planning to ask the maid to come over after the kids came back from school. Then, she could go back and pack some stuff. After all, she had to watch over Luke. She might have to stay here for a few days. There was no way she could stay here without bringing any clothes with her.Tina followed behind her and explained, "Mr. Doyle and I went to the mansion to take these. I didn't know what you needed, so I grabbed some warm clothes, the skincare products on your dressing table, and some toiletries. As for Mr. Crawford's things, I didn't dare to go into his bedroom. I didn't manage to get anything for him."Luc
Nina took a deep breath. Of course, she knew it would be a big problem if Tyrone's recovery did not go well."I said that I'll take up the responsibility. My brother has been detained by the police officers now. How can I run away? Besides, I'll find the best doctor for Tyrone if he really has to receive treatment at a later stage. Don't worry." The only thing she could do was to assure Keith.It had only been a few days, yet Nina was already on the verge of collapsing.Anna thought Jean’s case was just a small matter at first. It was only when Jean was detained in his ward that she realized how serious it was. Hence, Anna would call and text Nina to urge Nina to bail Jean out whenever she had the chance to do so.However, Nina did not listen to her. She had been dealing with the mess that Jean had left behind.Nina was exhausted. She would have broken down without Percy’s help.Nina could bail Jean out, but she did not do so. It was because Jean should learn his lesson this ti
“Yeah, something came up with my family, so they got delayed. They just brought me my meal,” answered the volunteer.Luca glanced at his food, which consisted of meat and vegetables. It was clear that his family treated him very well.“That’s quite a feast,” remarked Luca.“Heh, they know I need the nutrition, so they always give me this much. Ms. Craw, have you eaten yet?” the volunteer asked cheerfully. Now that his health was improving, his appetite had returned, and his mood was much better too.“I have. You should eat more. I just came in to check how much IV fluid is left. There’s still quite a bit, so I think it won't be done before the guys are done eating," replied Luca.The volunteer chuckled. “They eat fast. You guys are amazing, taking such good care of me. I haven’t suffered at all since being here.”“Your recovery is our biggest wish,” replied Luca.“Mm, I’ll definitely cooperate with the treatment,” replied the volunteer.“Alright, I’ll get back to work. Enjoy yo
Abel's hand paused for a moment before he continued stroking her eyelids.“What’s wrong?” His voice was eerily low, carrying a chilling edge.Hera could not see his expression, but just the sound of his voice was enough to send shivers down her spine.“Thank you.” Hera forced herself to smile, summoning what little courage she had.“No need for thanks. Just be good from now on.” Abel’s fingers continued their slow, deliberate caress. It was like he was handling a priceless treasure.Hera remained still, letting him touch her without protest. More than anything, she did not dare to speak. She was terrified that if she broke the moment and interrupted whatever was going through his mind, he would be displeased.At that moment, Luca brought the food to the table and asked, “Mr. Abel, Ms. Sanchez, lunch is ready. Would you prefer to eat here or in your room?”“I’ll go with whatever my baby wants.” Hera smiled sweetly, masking her fear behind a bright smile. For some reason, she ha
“I’m just making plans with a friend. No need to go into all that, right?” As Luca said, she lifted her gaze to meet Shanks.His eyes were as deep as the ocean, and in that split second of eye contact, she felt like she was being pulled in. She suddenly felt like she had just exposed herself.Awkwardly, she cleared her throat and said, “Mr. Shanks, I’ll head downstairs to make lunch.”Shanks did not call her out on it, nor did he press further. He simply returned to his experiment.Downstairs, Luca saw Abel sitting on the living room couch. Ignoring him was not an option.Luca greeted him politely, “Mr. Abel.”Abel took a slow drag from his cigar, his blue eyes scanning her from head to toe. He was deep in thought.He remained silent, seemingly deep in thought. His dark and brooding expression sent a chill down Luca’s spine. Without saying a word, she turned around and walked straight into the kitchen.Gerald was already inside.When he saw her, he mouthed, “You’re here?”Luc
If Shanks’ prescription could help Hera sleep earlier, that would not be a bad thing.“Then I need to be treat…” Hera paused for a moment, realizing she could not say the word treatment. That would imply she was sick, and she could not let people know that. Instead, she corrected herself and asked, “How long will I need to take this herbal medicine?”“You can stop when your test results are back to normal,” replied Luca as she picked up the medical waste and headed out of the room.Gerald followed closely behind and asked with curiosity, “Ms. Craw, how long is that?”“How long is a standard treatment cycle?” Luca asked in return.Gerald pondered for a moment. “Usually about a month?”“The average endocrine cycle for women is three months, so the minimum duration for proper regulation is three months,” explained Luca.Although Abel could take action at any time, there was no way Hera could endure three full months of treatment. However, until Abel made his move, she would have
Luca’s head was slightly tilted, her cheek burning with pain.Abel had not held back at all. The force of his slap was merciless. A numbness spread across her face at an alarming speed.From the next room, someone peeked out again and asked in a low voice, “You okay?”“I’m fine.” Luca’s expression remained calm. This kind of injury was nothing to her.Back on the Island of Despair, she had endured far worse during training. She survived, did she not?Without another word, Luca pushed open the lab door and stepped inside.The man watching shook his head. Her face was already that swollen, and she still said she was fine… What a tough woman. She took a slap that hard and brushed it off like it was nothing.Shanks lifted his head when he heard the door open. When he saw it was Luca and noticed how swollen the side of her face was, his brows furrowed.“Abel did this?”“Who else?” Luca let out a bitter laugh, only to wince as the movement tugged at the pain. She sucked in a sharp b
“No.” Shanks’ tone was cold and firm with no trace of hesitation.Abel still looked doubtful.Shanks added, “Would you like to see her medical report?”Abel was startled for a moment. How did Shanks know he had been thinking about that report?Now that Shanks brought it up, the idea lost its appeal.Abel shook his head. “Even if you showed it to me, I wouldn’t understand it. Shanks, Kassy’s life is in your hands. If you can give her a second chance, I’ll provide as much research funding as you need."Shanks remained silent. He could save Kassy. In fact, his research had always been for Kassy.However, he did not expect Abel to be so ruthless as to insist on using a living person as a donor for Kassy. That was something he could not accept.Kassy’s condition could be treated with organs from a brain-dead patient. Why destroy a perfectly healthy life?Shanks was not acting out of mercy. He simply refused to go against his medical ethics.He was not someone who had to save lives
“You don’t need to remind me. I was going to check anyway.” Abel shot Luca a chilling look.She took a step back and stayed silent.Abel turned to the pale-faced Hera and said, “If you’ve got low blood sugar, get up and eat something.”“I’ll eat now,” Hera replied, sitting up.Luca handed her the takeout.Abel glanced at the food and then frowned at Luca. “Why didn’t you make breakfast this morning?”“I was busy,” Luca explained with a calm indifference, her expression unwavering. She showed no fear, even under Abel’s questioning.Hera suddenly found herself admiring Luca. Everyone feared this man, yet Luca remained composed even when facing potential punishment. Not just anyone could pull that off.At the thought of this, Hera opened the takeout and kept quiet.Abel narrowed his eyes, glancing between Hera and Luca. His gaze was not exactly gentle as he muttered, “Stop eating this junk. It’s bad for you.”“I know, babe. Just this once. After this, I’ll have what Luca cooks f
Hera panicked the moment she heard that. “I trust her!”Luca and Shanks were both watching her.Hera repeated herself, saying, “I trust her, okay? What kind of treatment does she need? I’ll cooperate with anything. But what about Abel…”“I’ll tell him it’s just to help improve your overall health,” replied Shanks. Then, he turned around, opened the medicine cabinet, and started preparing the prescription.Hera let out a sigh of relief. As long as Abel did not find out about her health condition, that was all that mattered.If he knew she was unwell, he would send her back to A City. Without free medical help and no way to make extra money, she would be in serious trouble.“Thank you,” said Hera.“Wait outside,” instructed Shanks.“Okay.” Hera carefully stepped out.Luca, however, remained where she was, waiting.While preparing the medicine, Shanks asked, “Do you know which acupoints to target for her?”“Yes,” Luca replied confidently. As long as she checked Hera’s pulse, sh
“There are a lot of issues.” Luca did not hide anything and handed Hera the phone.Hera looked at it and frowned.“I can't understand any of this.” Hera felt dizzy just looking at the text, let alone the long list of medical terms. It was giving her a headache.“Look at these summaries and indicators. Compare the values on top with the normal values at the bottom, and you'll see what I mean,” explained Luca.Hera did not trust her. Therefore, Luca decided to let her see for herself. Seeing it with her own eyes would prevent any doubts later.Luca pointed out how to read the test results, and after a moment, Hera managed to understand the report. Her face turned pale. “How can there be so many problems?”She looked at Luca and questioned, “Did you fake this?”“I don’t have the power to make the medical center fake anything. Besides, the report has the medical center’s official stamp. If you don’t believe me, you can go directly to the medical center and ask for the official cop
