Jason shot her a glance. His boss must never find out what they were talking about. He would probably fly into a
rage judging by how much he cared for Luca.
He reminded Tina in a soft voice, "Don't ever let Boss hear this. Otherwise, you and I will get into trouble."
Tina was enlightened after he reminded her. She covered her mouth and looked around her. Fortunately, Luke was
not around.
Jason headed to the payment counter and said, "Go back to the office first. Handle any tasks in the office, and if you
can't deal with any, leave it for the boss when he comes back."
Luke would not be able to work under such conditions now. It would be better to wait until Luca's condition had
stabilized.
"Alright. I know what to do." Tina nodded.
After Tina left, Jason brought Luca's information with him and registered her admission to the hospital on her
behalf. Then, he returned to look for Luke.
Luca was still undergoing various medical check-ups.
"Boss, I've registered Dr. Craw," Jason reported.
"Alright." Luke was watching the examination room closely with a cold expression on his face. Luca's name was
shown above the room as she was undergoing a medical examination there.
After a while, Johann and the nurse pushed Luca, who was on the hospital bed, out of the room.
"How's the result?" Luke came over and asked. He was so anxious as it would take some time for the medical report
to be out.
"It'll take some time for the medical report to be processed. Let's bring Dr. Craw to the inpatient department first."
Johann looked at Luca, who was looking miserable and in pain. He felt sorry for her.
It seemed like the hardships and trials borne by her were much more than others after she got closer to Luke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRegardless if it were in the past or the present.
Perhaps the woman who was able to stand beside Luke could not be an ordinary woman. She had to go through
more than the others to be recognized.
After all, not every woman would be able to stand beside Luke.
Luke stared at Luca who was asleep. He nodded his head and asked worriedly, "When is she going to wake up?
"She woke up once just now, but she was crying out in pain. I couldn't bear to see her like that, so I gave her some
painkillers. She fell asleep after she took the medicine. It'll allow her to rest a little more. It's better for her," replied
Johann. After he knew Luca got kidnapped, he pulled some strings and arranged a VIP ward for her in the hospital.
They pushed the hospital bed and sent Luca to the ward.
Johann began to dress the wound on Luca's forehead. He grabbed the gauze and poured some povidone on it.
Then, he dressed her wound gently. At the same time, he said, "The nurse checked her when she was helping her
put on the hospital gown. There are no other wounds on her except for the ones on her head and face. She wasn't
sexually assaulted."
Luke nodded his head. He did not feel particularly happy, though.
He would never abandon Luca no matter what happened to her.
It was because she was Bianca, the most important person in his life.
Johann continued to dress the wound on Luca's face. He clicked his tongue twice and said, “The wound doesn't look
deep, but she's bleeding so much. That's weird. Check the patient's blood count later and find out what's wrong.”
He was speaking to the nurse in the latter half.
“Noted. I'll draw the patient's blood later,” the nurse nodded and answered.
Luke saw Johann bandaging Luca's wound with the gauze without suturing the wound. He asked, "She doesn't need
to get stitches?”
“There's no need. The wound isn't deep. But looking at how much blood she's losing, I'm guessing it's probably
because her body's weak right now,” Johann answered. He noticed that Luca's blood kept oozing out of the wound
on her forehead when Luke sent him the video. He thought it was a deep wound at first, but when he checked, that
was not the case.
"Alright. Let me see if the report is out,” said Johann. He needed to refer to the medical report to decide what to
treat next.
He would need to implement some other treatment methods if Luca had any internal injury.
Luke nodded. He took care of Luca in the ward and waited for her medical test results.
The nurse brought the phlebotomy equipment into the ward to get Luca's blood sample.
As Luke watched her insert the needle into Luca's arm, he opened his mouth as he wanted to ask the nurse to be
more gentle. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he did not say anything in the end.
After the nurse drew two tubes of blood, she carried the tubes along with her and left the ward, leaving some
nursing aids there.
Jason stood in the ward, staring at Luca's swollen face. He could barely recognize her, and he thought it would take
some time for her face to recover even though she had no internal injuries.
He touched his face, and he could not help but shiver. The wounds seemed painful just looking at them.
Luke noticed his small gestures and frowned. "Go back to the office first.”
Jason drew his hand away and nodded. "Yes, Boss.”
Luke said again, "You'll chair the meeting later. Summarize a detailed report for me.”
"Yes," replied Jason. He shot another glance at Luca and left the ward.
Johann was back in his office. Luca's medical report had already been sent to him.
He read through the report and found out that Luca had no internal injuries. He walked to the ward happily to tell
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuke about the good news.
“Dr. Craw has no internal injuries. Don't worry, the open wounds will heal quickly."
“What about the wounds in her heart?" Luke suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Johann was startled for a moment as he could not understand why he suddenly said that.
Luke recalled how Luca was held hostage. She had walked out with a reddened face and pale white lips. He could
see the despair in her eyes, and a hint of surprise as well.
She never expected that he would be the one to save her in the end...
Percy told him before that it was a good opportunity to hunt down the mysterious force behind Luca that was
manipulating her. However, he hesitated the moment he saw her injured. He could not wait any longer.
He should never have let anyone hurt her.
Luke was thinking that she would not have to suffer as much if he had asked his men to dash into the house from
the very first moment.
She was already suffering from mental health issues. There was no doubt that it would leave an excruciating pain in
her heart after what had happened this time.
Johann thought deeply of his words and patted his shoulder. "She's not that fragile of a person. She's stronger than
you think she is."
After all, Luca had been through a lot.
She abandoned her original appearance and got plastic surgery. She now looked vastly different.
She made it through such a painful and complicated surgery, as well as survived the recovery process. The pain
that she had to suffer this time would not be worse than that.
Luke knew she would be able to pull through. She had a strong will although her body was weak.
Still, he wanted to protect her. He would rather bear everything that she had been through himself than let her
embrace it alone.
Johann glanced at the time. It was already lunchtime after a busy morning.
