"What's with that look?" Luke closed the file and looked at her.
He skimmed through all the documents without looking at them carefully.
Luca was the one who sent them over, so there should not be a problem with them. As for
the research funds, she could have as much as she wanted.
“Mr. Crawford, I thought you didn't like cheeky smiles?" Luca blinked. She knew that Luke
would never be angry at her, but she said that on purpose to tease him.
Luke folded his hands together and rubbed his chin. Was she teasing him?
The audacity!
He liked that look on her. She was the woman he loved, so he liked any look on her face.
"I don't like it on others, but I like your cheeky smile," Luke teased her.
Bianca used to blush whenever she got teased, and it was the same for Luca now.
He watched Luca's face turn red instantly.
The smile on Luke's thin lips made her heart beat even faster. His serious face alone was
enough to make her fall for him, but the addition of such flirty words made her heart beat
uncontrollably fast.
"Ahem, Mr. Crawford. It's office hours." Luca looked away from him.
If she looked at him any longer, she would fall head over heels for him.
Luke pushed over the documents she brought over. "I've finished reading them."
"You're done?" Luca was surprised. How could he read through them in such a short time?
Even after she had been his wife for so many years, she did not know that he had the
ability to read this fast. Was that all it took to read this stack of documents?
Luca found it unbelievable.
"I've already signed it, and I have no objections. You may proceed with your plan," said
Luke.
Luca was still Bianca, even if she was being controlled by the Island of Despair. She was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdifferent from others.
Other research professors would apply for as much funds as possible, but Luca would not.
Every grant report she made was done realistically.
Even if Watson was his company, Luca would not take advantage of that.
Whether she was Bianca or Luca, and no matter whose interests were involved, she would
be sensible about it because she followed her conscience.
Luke believed that when she put the company in jeopardy, she did not do so on purpose.
Instead, it was the Island of Despair that was behind it.
It was not Luca's doing but theirs!
That was what Luke thought.
“The funding is approved?" Luca did not buy it. Did Luke actually trust her or was he
biased?
If it were any other professor, Luke would keep the documents and have Watson's
accountant examine each application before discussing with the professor on the final
terms.
Whatever the final amount was, it would certainly not be the amount the professor applied
for in the first place.
Of course, the amount would not be higher than before and only lesser.
"It's approved. It's reasonable." Luke nodded, even though he did not actually see if the
amount was reasonable or not.
Luca did not ponder anymore whether it was trust or bias...
She and Rhett had already deliberated over the funds, so there would not be anything
unreasonable in the report.
Luca stood up while hugging the documents in her arms. "Thank you, Mr. Crawford. I'll be
heading back to Watson, then."
"Alright, I'll be home later tonight, so don't wait up for me to eat dinner," said Luke.
Pierre's situation had been resolved, so Percy was buying drinks tonight.
"Sure." Luca blushed again.
Their conversation made them sound like an old couple.
She was Luke's wife of many years anyway. She just looked different. but it was still her.
After Luca left T Corporation, she received a call from Johann.
"Dr. Park, what's wrong?" Luca answered, worried that something had happened to
Wanda.
The Normans had been discharged, so it must be about Wanda.
"I'm calling to inform you that Dr. Willa will be operating on Wanda at 8:30 tomorrow
morning," Johann informed.
Although he was knowledgeable about gynecology, he would not be participating in this
operation.
In terms of professionalism, Dr. Willa and her team were much better.
Therefore, he handed over Wanda's operation to a professional team.
"Got it, I'll be there tonight and tomorrow morning. Thank you for taking care of Ms.
Rayne, Dr. Park." Luca got worried after hearing about Wanda's operation.
Wanda had been undergoing chemotherapy, so the lesion had been under control and
shrinking. However, chemotherapy alone could not kill all the cancer cells.
Luca thought that it would be much better to do the surgery first before chemotherapy.
However, Dr. Willa did not have enough time to perform the surgery on Wanda, and
Wanda's body could not take it anymore. Thus, Johann prescribed a chemotherapy course.
Although Luca did not express her worries, Johann could sense it.
He said, “Dr. Willa is very professional. She has analyzed Wanda's case in the pre-
operative assessment just now, and she's confident in eliminating all the cancer cells in
her body. During this time, you can go visit her with Luke. You can also go over tonight to
give her some confidence. The doctor's job is to cure the disease, but if the patient is
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconfident, it'll help her recover."
"Alright, I know what to do," said Luca.
She had to think of a way to convince Wanda that everything would turn out fine so that
she could relax and face tomorrow's surgery.
All of this was very important.
If Wanda was confident, it would be good for her recovery.
After the call, Luca sent a message to Luke, telling him that Wanda's surgery was
tomorrow. She also said that she would go over there tonight and wait by the operating
room tomorrow morning.
Luke: [I'll go with you tomorrow.]
There would always be family members waiting outside the operating rooms.
Old Man Rayne would not be there because he was not aware that Wanda was not actually
traveling but was sick and hospitalized.
Bianca...
She was Bianca. Although she could not reveal her identity, she was willing to wait for
good news outside the operating room.
Wanda still had Luke.
Luke being there was a given.
After Warren sent Luca back to Watson, Rhett was surprised to see her come back with a
bunch of documents in her arms.
"Dr. Craw, was Mr. Crawford not there?" Rhett was curious as Luca came back so soon with
all the documents.
Luca knew why he said that. Even if it took less than an hour to read the documents, it
would still take some time.
However, she was only in Luke's office for ten minutes.
"Mr. Crawford has signed off on the project proposal. Come into my office for a while," said
Luca as she walked into her office.
Rhett pricked up his ears. Mr. Crawford had signed off on it?
Did Luke even read through it?
