On the other hand, after Luke left the villa, he did not immediately head to the company
but went to the hospital instead.
He dismissed Mrs. Lane and also the Norman family's maid, allowing Wanda to enter
Queenie's ward.
When the two women who were both concerned about Luca met, they did not show much
joy. Both of their faces wore the same gloom.
"Luke, do you have some good news seeing as you gathered us here like this?" Queenie
asked first, hoping to hear positive news about Luca from Luke.
Luke shook his head and placed two thermal lunch boxes on the coffee table. "Luca made
these burgers. They taste good, so I brought them here for you to try."
Queenie had lost her appetite because of Luca’s matter. The maid tried to convince her to
eat. However, she just could not stomach the food at the thought of what Luca had been
through and how she still refused to acknowledge her true identity.
However, her eyes lit up when she heard that it was Luca who made the food.
"Bianca’s homemade burgers were my favorites. They're really good. After I had her
burgers, I couldn't enjoy any from outside because none were as good as hers.” Wanda let
out a soft sigh.
"She'll have plenty of opportunities to make burgers for you in the future,” replied Luke.
He opened the lunch boxes when he saw neither of them making a move.
The delightful aroma of the burgers wafted through the air and filled the ward.
Queenie picked up the burger first and said, "I haven't had Bianca’s homemade burgers
yet."
Wanda also picked up the other portion and slightly dunked it into the chowder that was
packed separately. She waited for a moment.
After the burger absorbed some of the chowder, she took a sip of it and then frowned.
"This isn’t Bianca’s chowder."
Luke smiled. Even though Wanda had no blood relation to Luca, she knew her well enough
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtafter having lived with her for more than ten years.
He nodded and said, "The chowder was prepared by Aunt Neile, but Luca seasoned the
burger patties."
Wanda immediately picked up the burger and put it in her mouth.
As she took the first bite, the sweet taste of the patty invaded her taste buds right away.
"Yes, Bianca seasoned it. I remember the taste."
"It's good," said Queenie, understanding why Wanda praised it earlier.
The taste of the burger patty was excellent. Even though Queenie had eaten burgers from
many renowned places in her life, none were as delicious as the one before her now.
Even though she was praising her own daughter, Queenie felt that she would not mind
eating Luca's burgers every day if she had to.
"I came here today to deliver the burgers Luca made for the two of you. Secondly, there's
something I'd like to discuss with you two. I think putting more pressure on Luca might
make her reveal everything."
Luke looked at the two elders in front of him. He needed their cooperation to make Luca
speak the truth.
Even though she had come back with a different identity, he could tell that her heart had
not changed.
She still cared about those who loved and cared for her. She would not want to see them
suffer.
Queenie and Wanda exchanged glances with each other. Their gazes simultaneously
landed on Luke. "Tell us, what should we do?"
Luke briefed them on a few things.
In the afternoon, when Luca finished work, she received a call from Johann.
"Dr. Craw, do you have a moment?" Johann's tone sounded urgent.
"I just got off work. What happened?" Luca vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Otherwise, Johann would not be speaking like that.
"It's Mrs. Norman. Although her blood pressure has been relatively high these days, it was
manageable. But her blood pressure has been at an all-time high after Luke came to the
hospital today.
"I've tried various methods to stabilize it, including dry needling, but nothing worked. Can
you come to the hospital? Perhaps only your dry needling technique can help her," Johann
hurriedly explained. It was Luke who made him say that.
He was even using the script he provided.
"How could this happen?!" Luca's face turned pale when she heard that.
"I'm afraid it may cause other reactions in Mrs. Norman's body if this continues. Dr. Craw,
if you don't come, there really is no other solution. I'm a surgeon. Do I really have to wait
until there are problems with her organs before taking action?
"Cardiovascular issues can't be ignored," added Johann, trying to emphasize the urgency.
He had added his own lines. After all, he was more specialized in medical matters than
Luke.
All he needed to do was make Luca believe that Queenie's situation was really dire. If she
did not come to the hospital and take care of things, there was a chance Queenie might
not make it.
"I'm leaving right now. Please help me stabilize her condition and prepare a new set of
needles." Luca thought to herself that things could not continue like this.
Regardless of anything else, Queenie must be kept safe.
It was already regrettable that she could not do her duty as a daughter. If anything
happened to Queenie because of her, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I don't dare to administer medication to her now. Otherwise, we
won't be able to know if your dry needling technique is effective later. You need to come
as soon as possible no matter what," said Johann. Then, he hung up the call.
Right before he hung up, Luca seemed to hear someone around him shout, "Oh no, Dr.
Park. The patient's condition is taking a turn for the worse. You need to get in there and
take a look, stat!"
Luca was alarmed. Although the person did not specify who the patient was, Johann
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshould be treating Queenie now. Hence, the patient mentioned here should be Queenie.
Luca took off her lab coat, grabbed her briefcase and coat without bothering to tidy up her
things, and quickly ran out of the office.
"Dr. Craw?" Mo Stone was surprised when she saw Luca was running out of the office.
Luca had no time for other people's greetings at the moment. She ran straight to the
elevator and pressed the button to go downstairs.
However, many people were leaving the company due to the rush hour, and the elevator
was moving slowly.
As Luca watched the numbers that slowly went up as the elevator rose, she hurriedly
turned and walked toward the stairwell. She figured that the elevator would stop on every
floor later.
Mo Stone frowned. What could have happened?
Luca seemed anxious. She did not even clock out...
Mo Stone wished she knew what was going on. Perhaps she could help, and she might
have a better chance of joining Luca's team then.
However, Mo Stone could only think about it because Luca had already left in a hurry and
was nowhere in sight.
Mo Stone did not think she could catch up to Luca to find out what had happened.
While Luca made her way down the stairs, she called Warren. She instructed him to get
the car ready as she needed to go to the hospital.
Warren assured her that he was already waiting in the parking lot and could leave at any
moment.
After hanging up the call, Luca checked her surroundings and saw no one around. With a
quick pace, she clasped the handrail and gracefully vaulted over it.
It was a dangerous move for others.
However, having come out of the Island of Despair, such maneuvers were basic for her.
There was no difficulty at all. It did not even pose any danger to her, and she did not need
to make her way down the stairs step by step. It could save her a lot of time.
Little did she know, as she hurried down the stairs, every move she made was being
observed by a security guard in the monitoring room.
