"Okay." Luca followed the police officers to the nurse's lounge and made a detailed statement about what
happened.
The police officers listened to what Luca said and wrote the statement at the same time. The victims involved in this
case were Mr. Norman and Mrs. Norman, and that was why he took it seriously.
In the ward.
Jack had already woken up.
Luke came forward and asked caringly, "Dad, are you feeling better?"
"I'm a little light-headed..." Jack narrowed his eyes and looked at his environment. After making sure that he was in
the hospital, he recalled what happened before he passed out. When he saw Luca make herself a hostage to save
Queenie, he became anxious and wanted to get out of bed right away.
"Dad, please lie still." Luke pressed the call bell.
"How's Queenie doing? What about Luca? She became a hostage. Was she taken away by them?" Jack asked
anxiously. Queenie was his wife, and Luca was his biological daughter. How could he not be worried?
"Luca is slightly injured. She's fine. As for Mom, look to your right." Luke glanced to the left. Queenie was lying on
another ward bed, and she was still unconscious.
Johann said it was Luca's request.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe knew Jack and Queenie would certainly be concerned about one another. That was why she might as well let
the two of them stay in the same ward.
Jack heard Luke and turned around. Even though he felt dizzy, he could see Queenie on the other ward bed.
"Queenie," Jack called out.
Queenie, who was on the bed, did not respond.
"Mom is still unconscious. The doctor did a CT scan, and she's not suffering from any brain injury at the moment.
She was too frightened that she passed out. The two of you have to stay in the hospital for observation. You'll have
to undergo another CT scan tomorrow. You'll be able to go back home and rest if you're fine. Remember to tell the
doctor if you're not feeling well when he comes here later," Luke said a lot to set Jack's mind at ease.
"Luca is injured? Which part of her body is injured? Were those men caught?" Jack questioned.
His wife was fine, but what about his precious daughter?
"She has a hand injury. It'll take half a month for it to recover. Don't worry, the police officers have arrested those
men. Luca is on this floor, but she's giving a statement to the police now," Luke continued to explain.
“Glad to hear that..." Jack let out a sigh of relief.
Jack passed out when he saw Luca being held hostage. He did not know what happened after that.
Johann pushed the ward door open and walked into the ward. He noticed Jack had woken up, so he came near the
bed and asked, "Mr. Norman, how are you feeling?"
"I feel light-headed." A sudden feeling of dizziness hit Jack. He closed his eyes and frowned.
"Okay. The CT scan shows that there's no bleeding in your brain. It might be the concussion after an impact on your
head. It'll take two days for you to recover from a concussion. Other than that, do you feel unwell anywhere else?"
Johann picked up his ophthalmoscope and flashed the light into Jack's eyes to observe them.
The responses of his pupils and cornea were normal.
"I feel pain," Jack added.
"Your body's CT scan is normal too. There are no fractured bones. It's probably muscle strain after falling. Don't
worry, you'll recover soon," said Johann. A middle-aged man like Jack was considered lucky to not have gotten any
bone fractures or brain injuries after a heavy fall.
"What about my wife?" Jack was not concerned about his condition. He only wanted to find out how Queenie was
doing.
Queenie was physically weak. He was afraid that her heart and blood pressure would not be able to deal with the
psychological shock.
"Mrs. Norman's CT scan is the same as yours. There's no problem with it. The bruises on her body will slowly
recover too. Don't worry about it," replied Johann. He walked toward Queenie's ward.
Then, he opened Queenie's eyes to examine them.
Her eyes were fine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why is she still unconscious?" Jack questioned again. He was worried about Queenie losing consciousness.
"Mr. Norman, rest assured. It's normal for different people to wake up at different times after passing out. You're in
a better condition than Mrs. Norman, and that's why you woke up earlier. Mrs. Norman is physically weaker, so it
takes a longer time for her to wake up. Don't worry, Mrs. Norman will wake up within the next three hours." Johann
turned around and comforted him.
The fact that Jack was admitted to the hospital had caught the hospital director's attention.
He instructed Johann to be Jack's and Queenie's attending physician while they were in the hospital before Johann
could even put in the request.
"That's good to hear.." Jack then fell silent.
No one knew if Jack was feeling unwell or if he was worried about Queenie and Luca. He seemed reluctant to
speak.
"Oh, by the way, Ms. Norman was admitted to the hospital too, but we don't have any more VIP wards. Do we need
to add another bed here?" Johann asked for his opinion.
Other patients took the single VIP wards in the hospital. Moreover, they were seriously ill, and there was no way
they could be moved to other wards.
The ward Jack was currently staying in was the family VIP ward. It could accommodate two to three beds.
