“Tell them to cooperate with the police officers. I'll ask Gale to head to the crime scene," said Luke.
Although all his subordinates had undergone special training before, Rain and Gale were more professional when it
came to handling matters and investigating.
There was a higher chance to find out something if he sent Gale to look into the case.
"Got it, Boss," replied Rain.
After Luke ended the call, he walked back toward the ward. He headed to the ward after he threw the lunch boxes
in the trash bin along the hallway.
Queenie had already woken up.
Luca sat by her bedside and listened to her as she talked.
Queenie's speech was slurred due to the concussion, but she was able to speak fluently. There was nothing wrong
with her sentences. She was probably talking about Luca being injured and how she felt sorry for her.
Luca felt suffocated when she heard that. It was she who made the couple suffer, but the two of them apologized to
her when they woke up.
"Mrs. Norman, rest well. Get more sleep. You'll feel better when you wake up tomorrow," replied Luca. If it was only
a concussion, their condition would get better by the day.

Luca lifted her head and turned to look at Luke. "It's Mr. Crawford."
"Oh, it's Luke..." Queenie paused for a moment and called his name, "Luke."
"Yes, Mom." Luke walked toward them and stood behind Luca. Then, he looked at Queenie.
"Luke, your father and I are in the hospital. Can you please handle the matter for us.." said Queenie. Luca had told
her what the current situation was just now.
"Don't worry. Leave it to me." Luke frowned when he saw the depressed look on Queenie's face.
Luca would feel upset too when she saw how upset Queenie was. "Mom, get some rest. You'll be able to get
discharged from the hospital soon."
"How can I have a good rest." Queenie shot another glance at Luca's bandaged hand. She could still vividly
remember the scene of Luca choosing to become the hostage to save her.
She had no blood ties with Luca, but when she was in such a dangerous situation, Luca stepped forward and said
that she would replace Queenie and become the hostage instead.
Even though those men had come for Luca from the start...
Luca helped Queenie to get out of danger.]
Queenie remembered what Jack had told her before in a daze.
Perhaps she should not have been so defensive toward Luca. She would never hurt them. Luca's presence and
everything she did was for the couple's sake.
“Mrs. Norman, let's talk about it when you're feeling better." Luca convinced her in a soft voice, knowing that
Queenie was worried.
"Where's Leia? Is she alright?" Queenie immediately asked when she remembered her only daughter who was by
her side.
Luke sneered, and when Luca was about to say something, he said, "How could something happen to the person
who was hiding behind the sofa the entire time?"
Queenie closed her eyes. It set her mind at ease when she found out that Leia was fine, but she suddenly
remembered that Leia had been hiding behind the sofa all along when it happened. She was constantly screaming,
which caught those men's attention.
Besides, she even told them her and Jack's identity.
Queenie suddenly felt upset again.
If Leia had not screamed and stayed calm, Jack would not have had to experience this.
Although Jack had served in the army before, it was a long time ago, and he had been busy with government
affairs. All the skills he had learned when he was in the army had been completely forgotten. Besides, Jack only got

Luca, someone who had no blood ties with them, was willing to put herself in danger to save them.
On the contrary, Leia, who was adopted and raised by them for years despite them sharing no blood ties.
Queenie came to realize that that was how much their mother-and-daughter relationship was worth at this
moment.
Luca gave Luke a helpless look. They both knew that this had something to do with Leia.
Hence, Luke got even more upset at Leia when Luca got injured. Luca could understand why, but Queenie was a
sensitive person. It would upset her if he said something like that in front of her.
"Mrs. Norman, Ms. Norman isn't injured. Don't worry." Luca kept her in the dark about Leia being admitted to the
hospital and the fact that she was downstairs.
It would be better not to let Queenie worry about Leia.
Overthinking would not make her feel any better and recover faster.
"Okay. Luke, Luca, we're fine. Both of you don't have to stay here. Go home." Queenie could feel the drowsiness
hitting her. She fell deeply asleep after a while.
Luca noticed that Queenie had fallen asleep. She turned around and said to Luke in a soft voice, "Mr. Crawford, I'd
like to have a word with you."
