Chapter 3268 Details Of The Car Accident Luke nodded to the doctor, indicating his agreement.
The doctor returned to his office and prescribed medication for Luca.
Ten minutes later, a nurse walked in with the medicine. After watching Luca take it, she advised, "You should rest now. If you feel uncomfortable, just press the call button." "Okay, thank you." Luca closed her eyes.
Luke gently pulled the blanket over her.
After a moment, Luca opened her eyes and said, "Luke, how about you stay withwhile I sleep?" "I'm worried I might squish you," replied Luke. Even though the bed in the VIP ward was wider than a standard hospital bed, it was still a single bed.
It was not that two people could not fit on it, but he wanted her to rest well.
Luca said, "I've been having bad dreams. If you stay beside me, I think I'll sleep better." "Alright." Luke agreed and got into bed from the other side.
Once he settled in, Luca turned to her side. After getting used to the dizziness, she hugged Luke. He smelled different today. He must have used the hospital's body wash.
It did not smell as nice as the one they had at home, but she loved his scent no matter what.
With his familiar scent replacing the unpleasant smell of disinfectant, she felt at ease.
"Luke," Luca mumbled as she started to drift off, the sleep-inducing effects of the fever medicine kicking in. "Hmm?" Luke gently stroked her back, comforting her like a child and soothing her unease so that she could sleep peacefully.
"I want to go home," murmured Luca.
"We'll go hwhen you feel better." Luke closed his eyes. His hand never stopped gently stroking her.
At this moment, she reminded him of how Bianca used to be.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack then, no matter how hurt or sick Luca was, she was always so strong. She never showed any vulnerability like she was doing now.
Perhaps she did not feel secure at that time, believing she could only rely on herself, so she never allowed herself to show any weakness.
However, things were different now. She felt safe enough to show her vulnerable side to him.
He was her support.
"Okay, let's go htogether," Luca mumbled one last tbefore falling into a deep sleep.
When Luca woke up the next morning, Luke had already gotten out of bed.
She reached out and touched the spot next to her. There was still swarmth left on the sheets. Then, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. She figured that Luke was washing up.
Luca lay back.
She realized that her dizziness was gone.
She tried to sit up, but as soon as she lifted her head slightly, the world spun around her, forcing her to lie back "They probably already know, right?" asked Luca.
"Nina went over, so they definitely know. But I also told them you're fine and that you'll be hafter a couple of days in the hospital," Luke reassured her.
"Okay," replied Luca.
After emptying the basin, Luke sat down beside the bed, picked up his phone, and called Nina.
"Mr. Crawford, how's Luca doing?" Nina asked as soon as she answered the call without waiting for Luke to speak.
She was furious when she heard that Karen had gone off the deep end and rear-ended Luca's car. She wanted nothing more than to confront Karen.
However, Percy stopped her.
He pointed out that Karen had been taken into custody by the police, and no one could visit her. Karen claimed she had a mental illness and did not intentionally crash the car.
The police were likely arranging for a psychologist to assess her.
Now, only her lawyer could see her.
With no other options, Nina took the initiative to offer to look after the three kids.
"I'm feeling better," said Luca. Her eyes were still closed.
"You gavea scare. How about turning on the camera?" asked Nina. She wanted to see for herself that Luca was okay.
She knew it was just a bump on the forehead and a mild concussion, nothing too serious, but she could not help worrying.
"Maybe not. I'm a bit of a mess right now. But don't worry, I'm okay. By the way, are the kids with you?" "Yes, they knew it was Mr. Crawford calling and figured you'd want to talk to them, so they're all here. I've got the speaker on," said Nina just before the three children's voices filled the room.
*Are you feeling better, Ms. Luca?" *Are you okay, Ms. Luca?" "When are you coming home, Ms. Luca?" Luca felt a pang of guilt when she heard the concern in their voices.
It should be the mother worrying about the children, but here they were, worried about her instead.
Luca answered, "I just need to stay in the hospital for 24 hours for observation. If everything's fine, I'll be hsoon. In the meantime, you all need to listen to Ms. Nina and Aunt Neile, okay?" "Okay, we'll be good," the three children chorused.
Luca then asked how their homework was going.
After hearing that they had finished it, she let out a yawn.
Luke saw that and said to the kids, "Alright, it's getting late. She needs to rest, and you should too. Don't give Ms. Nina a hard time." "Got it, Dad," they replied in unison.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter hanging up, Luca pouted slightly. "I wanted to talk to them a bit more." "You'll be hthe day after tomorrow. They'll have plenty to say to you then," Luke reassured her as he tucked her in. Then, he leaned down to press a kiss on her forehead. "Now, get srest." "Okay, goodnight," replied Luca.
"Goodnight. Don't worry, I'm right here," said Luke.
Luca eventually fell asleep even though she felt unwell.
She had one dream after another. None of them were nightmares, but none of them comforting either.
She dreamt of Abel, then of Karen...
When she finally woke up, she was drenched in sweat.
*Luca." She heard Luke calling her softly. When she opened her eyes, everything was pitch-black.
Panicking, Luca exclaimed, "Luke, I can't see!" A moment later, she heard a click, and the lights were turned on. She realized it was not that she could not see but that it was still in the middle of the night.
She had only been asleep for a short while, but it felt like much longer.
Luke placed his hand on her forehead with his brows furrowed together. "You were mumbling in your sleep." *I had sbad dreams, but that's normal. My body's not feeling great, so my sleep quality isn't either," explained Luca.
She thought it was nothing serious until he said, "Your forehead feels a bit hot. I call the nurse to check on E you." Then, Luke pressed the call button.
The nurse quickly arrived. After taking Luca's temperature, she m frowned. "It's 102°F a bit of a fever.
I get the doctor to see if you need sfever medication." After the nurse left, and soon the on-call doctor cin.
The doctor gave Luca a quick examination. He confirmed it was just a fever from the shock, and everyone let out a sigh of relief. "It's nothing serious. Take sfever medicine, and you should feel better soon." *Can she get an injection? It might work faster," asked Luke.
*She could, but the fever isn't too high, so an injection isn't really necessary. I'd recommend just taking the medicine," suggested the doctor.
Luca knew Luke wanted her to feel better quickly, but she alsounderstood the doctor's reasoning. Hence, she said, "Just the medicine would be fine." Ashburn > X
