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
She spoke to him in a gentle voice just like how she used to speak to him before. Luke looked up and stared at her. A warm feeling arose between them when their gazes met each other’s.Luca quickly lowered her head and placed the documents properly after she met Luke’s gaze.Luke finished drinking the glass of water and noticed that Luca was still busy arranging the pile of documents. He said calmly, "Coffee tastes better."Luca knew Luke was craving coffee again. She paused what she was doing and took the glass from him, putting it back where it was. "Mr. Crawford, it's better to have plain water now." “Am I not allowed to have any coffee?” Luke frowned. He only had a fractured bone. He was not sick at all. "Yes. You can have milk or juice if you think plain water is tasteless," said Luca deliberately. Juice or milk was not Luke's top choice even if there was no coffee.Luke enjoyed drinking coffee. Apart from that, he would drink plain water and wine. Luca knew his preference
Luca walked over to another couch and sat down. “I think I’ll stay here. How about letting Luke come down so that we can all catch up? It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”Gordan’s face fell. “Ms. Craw, are you doing this on purpose?”Luca pretended not to know anything. “Doing what on purpose?”Gordan quickly shook his head. “Nothing. Just go upstairs already. Brother Luke’s been waiting for you.”Luca had intended to tease Gordan a little longer, but after not seeing Luke for the past few days, she found herself missing him deeply. Standing up with a smile, she said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Oh, by the way, Mr. Gale, could you help me pick up a few things? Someone over there asked me to get them, and I couldn’t refuse.”“Sure, no problem. What do you need?” Gale agreed immediately.After handing him the list, Luca turned and headed upstairs.Gale watched Luca leave from behind, nudging Gordan’s arm. “Let’s go. We should leave and give the boss and Ms. Cr
The security guard remained completely unfazed.This was because the village chief was his uncle, and in their tight-knit community, they always stuck together and never favored outsiders.With directions from the people inside the ancestral hall, Hera found the village chief.“You’re the village chief, right?” Hera looked at the man in his fifties in front of her and spoke with an arrogant tone, completely unbothered.“And you are?” The village chief, seeing her attitude, was puzzled. He had no idea whether she was an investor or someone looking to discuss a major partnership to bring development to their quiet village.“It doesn’t matter who I am. I see you have surveillance here, and I need to review your footage,” replied Hera.The village chief was even more confused. “Are you a police officer?”“No.” Hera frowned. She thought reviewing surveillance footage was no big deal. Why was this village chief being so difficult?The village chief gave her a look as if she were a fo
“Wait a little longer. By the way, what kind of ancestral hall is this?” asked Hera.“It's a local family's ancestral hall. I heard it's been designed by the owner of a large company, and now it's also one of the tourist attractions.” The taxi driver was not from around here, so he did not know all the details, but he knew it had become a popular spot. “Now, thanks to the reputation of that boss, many architects come here as one of their reference points.”Hera frowned deeper. What was Luca doing here?The driver suggested, “If you're interested in sightseeing, the attractions inside are pretty good. But for outsiders, they charge an entrance fee. Maintenance costs a lot of money, so they charge tourists from outside.”“I'm not here for sightseeing,” replied Hera, “Don't worry. I'll pay you for however long I stay here. You’ll get your money.”The driver heard that she was paying, and did not press her further and remained quiet.Hera stared at the entrance of the ancestral hall,
Hera let out a cold sneer, feeling that Gerald's apology was not sincere.Hera did not want to press the issue at the moment. She gave him a sharp look. “Come with me.”Gerald knew that Hera was up to something again. If it were a normal order, she would have just said it in the living room. Whenever she called him aside, it meant whatever she had to say could not be overheard by others.Reluctantly, Gerald followed her out.It was midday, and as soon as Hera stepped out of the living room, a wave of heat hit her face.The intense warmth made her feel uncomfortable.Hera got straight to the point, turning to Gerald. “What did Luca say to you just now?”“She just asked me to help keep an eye on the volunteer,” Gerald answered honestly. This was not something that needed to be kept secret.Hera frowned. “Is she going out”Gerald hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to say anything.“I’m talking to you, not the wall. Are you mute?” Hera threatened. “If you lie to me, I’ll te
Gordan was puzzled. At most, it was just brotherly camaraderie. After all, they had been through thick and thin together. Their bond might be stronger than usual, but falling in love? That was a bit of a stretch.Luke said, “The way you acted just now, doesn't really seem 'straight' to me. Also, if you're into women, maybe you should consider finding one. Otherwise, if you're always single, people might start misinterpreting your feelings for me.”“Luke, actually, you're not bad at all. In fact, you're probably better than a lot of women,” Gordan replied with a sly grin.As a man himself, he honestly thought Luke was a great guy. If he were a woman, he would be utterly captivated by him.“Shut up!” Luke knew he was joking, but he still felt a chill run down his spine. He seriously worried that Gordan might do something inappropriate when he turned his back on him.Shivering from the thought, Luke put down his glass and headed upstairs.Gordan let out a deep sigh.The night w
“Anyway, I'm saying it here—I'm not going to Russia because of that ugly woman, Vivian. If I go to Russia, it's for you. I've already divorced her. Besides, I’m already trying to avoid her, how could I possibly go to Russia for her?” Gordan took a sip of red wine, then continued his rant. “And, Ray is still in Russia. I really can't go. His men are all brutal, and I've had enough of being beaten all these years.”“Then why did you buy an apartment in Vivian's neighborhood?” Luke continued to tease him. His sharp eyes glinted with intelligence.Gordan denied it, but whether he believed it or not was his own business.“It was just a coincidence!” Gordan raised his voice, trying to convince Luke.Or maybe himself.“Coincidence?” Luke sipped his wine, every gesture as graceful as a nobleman.“Of course, it’s a coincidence, Brother Luke. You wouldn’t know, but that apartment is in a school district, surrounded by college towns. There are a ton of hotties there, I picked the place just
As Luca listened to his tone that was full of regret, she felt a slight pang in her heart. She recalled when she had a child and continued pursuing her education. If she had given up on herself back then, perhaps she and Luke would not find themselves here today.Luca felt she was much more fortunate than the volunteer. Even though she loved her father, she also understood the importance of education and did not let her father’s illness cause her to give up. She was also fortunate to have a father who supported her education.At the thought of this, Luca could not help but ask, “Do you regret it?”“No, I don’t regret it,” the volunteer smiled. “Actually, I always look at it in a positive light. Back then, several boys in my class liked her. If I hadn’t confessed, she might have become someone else’s girlfriend. If there’s anything I regret over the years, it’s that I was too selfish and it affected her studies.“I never thought that being in a relationship at a young age would
As Luca thought about it, she heard the volunteer exclaim, “With a wife like you, your husband must be so lucky and blessed.”Luca shook her head. To her, being cherished by Luke was a real blessing.“You’ve got it wrong. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”Luca had often wondered what her life would have been like without Luke.Perhaps she would have married Jean, only to watch his true nature slowly reveal itself. She would have struggled, eventually unable to endure it, and maybe even ended up divorced.It could be something worse. She might have been taken advantage of, lost all hope, and spiraled downward...Anything was possible.However, Luca knew that no matter what happened, life would not be as good as it was now without Luke.Though she remained under someone else’s control, and life on the Island of Despair was fraught with hardship, with Luke by her side, she felt an unshakable courage.A light laugh from the volunteer interrupted her thoughts.Luca
The volunteer did not mind. As long as it meant he could recover, he was willing to endure any pain. “It's okay. I can handle it.”Luca nodded.The door to the vehicle opened, and a man stepped inside. Due to the lack of sterilization, he did not dare approach the inner part of the vehicle. Instead, he placed several bottles of saline on the outside.“This is the saline that Mr. Shanks prepared. He asked you to inject it when you can,” the man relayed Shanks' message.“Got it.” Luca reached out to take the bottles. After thoroughly disinfecting them, she brought them inside.It was more complicated than being in a hospital.Since the volunteer's body was still weak. They had to maintain as sterile an environment as possible.However, it still fell short of the ICU's standard.Luca stayed with the volunteer until evening. Gerald stood outside the medical vehicle and called, “Ms. Craw, it's time for dinner.”Luca took off her protective gear and stepped outside.“Ms. Craw, di
