Luke thought that he would have to start learning some medical knowledge after he finished his work.
After all, he needed to have more topics to talk about with Luca.
Luca sat on the sofa and continued to translate the documents. The wound on her waist still hurt no matter how
she sat.
It seemed like she had to look for a chance to return to the villa.
Luca was secretly thinking about it and looking for an opportunity. She waited until it was nighttime. Only then did
she manage to get the chance to return to the villa.
The three kids followed the maid to the hospital when the maid came to deliver their dinner.
The kids were relieved when they saw Luca taking care of their father. She had not left without saying goodbye.
The three of them surrounded Luke's ward bed after they greeted Luca. They were looking at the man sitting on
the bed.
Tommy was the first one to ask, “Daddy, what happened to you?"
Luke looked at his son and replied without trying to hide anything, "I got into a car accident."
"Daddy, why did you get into a car accident?" Tommy continued to ask.
Luke fell silent. He could not possibly tell Tommy that he went drinking and did not manage to dodge when he saw
someone's car driving toward him, right?
How embarrassing...
After all, it was the alcohol that numbed his nerves, making him unable to respond as usual. He would have been
able to avoid the motorcycle if he had been sober.
Tommy noticed that Luke did not answer him. He thought he would die of curiosity, so he asked again, "Daddy, can
you tell me why?"
Luke remained silent as though he did not hear what his son was saying.
Lanie could not help but say, "Didn't Dr. Park tell us? Daddy drank too much. The alcohol affected the speed of his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreflexes. That's why he was hit by a motorcycle. He banged his head on the floor and fractured his leg."
What Lanie said described Luke's accident perfectly.
Luke's face darkened as he felt a little embarrassed that the kids now knew what had happened to him.
Tommy nodded and carefully poked the cast on Luke's leg. "Daddy, does it hurt?"
"No," Luke replied with a gloomy face. He would probably have gone to teach Johann a lesson if he was able to
walk.
Johann did it on purpose. The only reason Johann told the kids so much about the incident was to embarrass Luke in
front of his children.
Johann had been harboring a grievance against Luke after he was provoked by him. That was why the kids knew so
much.
"Daddy, that's impossible. It hurt a lot when I fell and injured my knee back then." Tommy poked the cast again
while observing Luke's expression. There were no changes other than the gloomy expression on his face. Then,
Tommy added, "Daddy, don't drink too much next time. Dr. Park told us that old people shouldn't be drinking so
much."
"Where's Johann?" Luke clenched his fists.
"Dr. Park has gotten off work." Tommy smiled and said, "We ran into him downstairs just now. He told us everything.
Otherwise, we wouldn't even know you're badly injured."
"Badly injured?" Luke narrowed his eyes and glanced at Luca. The corner of her lips was slightly curling up. What
the kids were saying must be amusing her...
"Yes. Dr. Park also told us that you have to sit in a wheelchair even after you get out of the hospital.." Tommy
added.
"It's just for a while. I can walk after the cast is removed." Luke corrected his son as he was worried that Johann had
misled him. It was to prevent Tommy from telling the others that his Daddy would have to sit in a wheelchair for the
rest of his life.
Luke only got hit by a motorcycle. He was not even close to being a cripple.
"I see. Daddy, is it fun to sit in a wheelchair?" Tommy continued to speak. The little boy who was still worried about
Luke's condition a moment ago had set aside his concern once he saw Luke's condition for himself. Then, he started
to ask questions curiously.
"It's not fun at all," Luke answered patiently. He would have grabbed Tommy and kicked him out of the ward if he
were not his son.
However, Tommy was Luke and Luca's son, so he had to bear with it!
Besides, Luca was here too. Back then, she never supported educating children by punishing them. She would
always be upset for a long time when she saw any news about strict parents educating their children by abusing
them and leaving injuries on them.
Tommy nodded, and he lectured Luke like an adult, "Daddy, you should drink less next time if it's not fun to sit in a
wheelchair. Don't do that again. I was worried sick when I woke up and didn't see you and Ms. Luca at home. The
maid didn't say anything to us either."
Luke felt that his status in the family had suddenly crumbled with his youngest son lecturing him. Luke cleared his
throat and said, "It was an accident. In the meantime, all of you should move back to Crawford Manor first."
The maid had her own family to take care of too. She could not possibly stay at the mansion every day to look after
the kids.
Luca had to take care of him in the hospital, so she could not go back either.
"Alright, Daddy."
The three of them replied in unison, knowing that their daddy could not go home because of his condition, while
their mommy would have to take care of their daddy. That was why no one objected.
Luca was overwhelmed with mixed emotions when she saw how sensible the kids were.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRainie was focused on the cast on Luke's leg. At last, she asked carefully, "Daddy, can we write or draw on this? I
saw people on TV drawing on casts like this.”
"No." Luke pulled a straight face and rejected her.
"Ah, why?" Tommy was disappointed. He was excited when he heard his sister mention drawing on the cast.
Luke replied, "I have to meet other people, and I'll have to talk about business. How am I going to meet them if you
draw on the cast?"
Lanie said, "Daddy, I'm sure you'll wear long pants after you're discharged from the hospital. The others won't be
able to see it."
Luke fell silent. He did not expect that it would be so hard to fool his eldest son.
Luca looked at the kids. They seemed eager to draw on Luke's leg cast.
Luke had always left an impression of a strict father on the kids. It was difficult for them to find a chance to be
spoiled and ask to do something like drawing on his cast. They must be looking forward to it.
Hence, Luca could not help but speak up for the children, "Mr. Crawford, let them draw if they want to. I remember
that the kids are pretty good at drawing."
Luke turned to look at Luca. He became soft-hearted when Luca spoke for the children. He could never turn her
down.
"Daddy, we're a family. Let us draw on your cast. Those uncles and aunties won't laugh at you because you have
three cute and lovely children as well as Ms. Luca..." Tommy acted cutely and mentioned Luca's name.
"Yes. Daddy, I'd like to write down some wishes for you," Rainie said gently.
Rainie resembled Bianca a lot. Luke became even more soft-hearted when Rainie was whining. He asked, "Do you
have colored pencils with you?"
"I do." Tommy raised his hand. "I had a coloring class today. That's why I brought colored pencils with me!"
Then, Tommy took a set of 24 colored pencils out of his bag.
