"Nothing." As he approached her, Luca could not help but take two steps back.
Luke took another step forward and narrowed the distance between them.
Luca could not resist the charm he exuded, so she could only blush and slowly lower her head. She might be unable
to control herself if she continued looking at him.
The two walked one after another into the bedroom.
Luke stepped forward to hug her, his magnetic hoarse voice whispering in her ear, "If I didn't have an important
meeting later, I'd definitely help you shower."
"Huh?" Luca blinked and looked at his white shirt. 'He wasn't thinking what I thought he was?
'I misunderstood the situation!'
Luca's face turned even redder. All she thought about just now was something that would be inappropriate for
children...
Clearly, Luke knew what she was thinking about.
Luke noticed that her cheeks were getting redder, and all he wanted was to kiss her.
However, he knew that if he kissed her, he would not be able to attend the meeting later. He could only hold back.
He smiled as he pulled out the plastic wrap she was holding and played with it. "I'll help you bandage it up."
Luca's face was so red as if it were bleeding. She nodded slowly and raised her right hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuke opened the plastic wrap and carefully wrapped it for her. "You thought that I was going to help you take a
shower?"
"No!" Luca's denial was forceful. It seemed that she was hiding something.
"Mm, no." Luke went with her, his tone full of teasing.
His movements were meticulous as he carefully wrapped her hands with the plastic wrap, leaving no gaps, lest the
water wet the gauze and cause the wound to become infected.
"Bring your phone into the bedroom later and call me if there's anything you need." He urged.
"Okay..." Luca answered with a voice as soft as a mosquito. She thought of how she was teased and could not even
think of the words to refute it. Her mind went blank.
Luke knew her well.
"If you need help, make sure you call me. Don't be stubborn. It'll be more troublesome to go to the hospital if
something happens." Luke did not think that she was troublesome. He just hoped that she would not be afraid to
trouble him.
"Mm, I know." Luca looked at her hands which were tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. 'He's so thoughtful.'
In the naked eye, there was no gap to allow the water to penetrate.
However, he used up most of the plastic wrap.
She hoped that the stitches on her hand could be removed as soon as possible so it would not be so troublesome
moving forward.
Luke left the plastic wrap casually on the dresser because she would still need it when she showered.
He said, "Go take a shower first. I have to attend a meeting."
After he said that, he strode out of the bedroom.
He closed the door of the master bedroom, sighed, and complained about the time difference in his heart.
Luca would be lying in his arms if it were not for the fact that he could not afford to be absent from this meeting or
push it back.
Luke complained in his heart as he walked into the opposite bedroom. Nonetheless, he still connected to the
overseas call, adjusted his mood within a few seconds, and started the meeting.
On the other hand...
Luca did not have much concern when she showered because of the plastic wrap. After she was done, she put on a
fresh set of pajamas before she removed the plastic wrap.
More than half of the long roll of plastic wrap had been used. After she took it apart, the gauze had not gotten wet
and was still bone dry.
Luca sat in front of the dresser and glanced at the door. She pursed her lips and took off the gauze with one hand.
Although Johann had helped to sterilize her wound, stitch her up, and wrap the gauze in the hospital, it was not
enough.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had to apply the medicine herself if she wanted the wound to heal quickly.
Luca sighed after she took off the gauze and looked at the stitched wound. She sighed. She knew that the wound
would not leave scars. She sighed because Jack and Queenie were still lying in the hospital.
She took out a small medicine bottle from the drawer and sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound. It was a
new wound, so she could only use her hands to make sure the medicine powder was applied uniformly before she
put on a new gauze.
Her dressing method was different from Johann's. She was one-handed, so her dressing was a bit sloppy but at
least it was done.
Luca glanced at the time. It had long passed the hospital's visiting hours.
Nonetheless, she could not help but send a message to the Norman family's maid to check in on Jack and Queenie.
The maid quickly replied to her and told her that after they left, Jack and Queenie woke up again. They were awake
for a longer time, and the couple also chatted a little before they fell asleep again under the influence of the drugs.
Luca was relieved to know that Jack and Queenie had woken up.
She stood up and opened the bedroom door to find that the door on the opposite side was shut.
Luca knew he was in a meeting and closed the door because he was worried that the sound of his conversation
would disturb the children resting.
