Chapter 1221 If She Were Dying, Would Luke Prioritize Work Over Her?
It was quite slow to find someone using the program. Luca leaned on the couch with her eyes slightlyclosed. She became impatient after a while.
She plugged the laptop into the power source, stood up, and went to rest in her bedroom.
Even though her strength had returned, she still felt quite sluggish.
She glanced at her laptop, yawned, and went back into her bedroom.
She looked at the door of the next room and shook her head. Back in her bedroom, she set an alarmon her phone, sent a message to Cole saying that she would be taking the day off, and plugged herphone into the power source.
No matter what, she would not let Amur act alone.
Abel was in A City, so Amur should finish his mission as soon as possible and return to the Island.
Danger lurked wherever Abel was. She did not want Amur to remain in A City.
Luca closed the curtains and lay on the bed. She might not have been able to sleep if it were any otherday, but she quickly fell asleep thanks to the drugs.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Luke received a call from Jason. He glanced at Bianca sleeping soundly onthe bed, then went to the balcony to answer the call.
"How are things?" He asked Jason before Jason could speak.
"We've already gotten someone to tamper with the security feed, Mr.
Crawford, and we've also talked to the courier company. Even if someone wants to investigate theissue, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to Dr. Craw," Jason reported.
"Very good. I don't want her information to leak out one bit. Understand?" Luke said. If someone elsefound out that Luca was the person who diagnosed Queenie's illness, Luca and even T Corporationwould be needlessly troubled.
"Yes," Jason replied. Remembering that there was another incident the night before, he continued,"There's something else, Mr. Crawford." "Speak," Luke said in a low voice.
"The Westin has gotten back to us. They said that they could not find the waiter in the security feed,and they said that the person isn't one of their employees," Jason said.
Luke had sent some of his people to investigate what happened to Luca at the hotel. As expected, theycould not find anything.
"Not an employee?" Luke raised an eyebrow. The owner of the hotel was his friend, and the hotelmanagement would not lie to him.
In other words, someone had disguised as an impostor to drug Luca.
Luca was someone relatively new to the country. Could she have offended someone?
Luca was indeed attractive, but no one in the party should have tried to drug her. Everyone at the partyknew that Luke had brought her along, so even if someone had set their eyes on her, they would nothave so brazenly acted upon their desires.
Luke eliminated all the guests at the party from his suspicions. However, he did not know if Luca hadoffended someone else.
One thing he was clear about was that someone who would harm Luca might not be Luca's enemy.They might be his enemy too...
"Yes, Mr. Crawford," Jason replied. He had not given up on investigating the incident at the party, buthe had to make timely reports. "Also, Dr. Craw left the hotel alone at six-fifteen this morning." "Noted."Luke felt somehow relieved after knowing that she had left early in the morning. If she could leave thehotel by herself, it meant that her health was not affected.
I'll be late to work today. Reschedule some of the less important meetings.
"Yes, Mr. Crawford," Jason replied. As Luke's subordinate, all he had to do was carry out Luke's orderswithout asking why.
After ending the call, Luke went back to the room. After being hooked up to a saline drip, Bianca's lipswere not as dry as before. The redness on her face also subsided a little.
Her condition seemed to be improving. He sat on the couch and waited for the caretaker to come fromCrawford Manor to take over.
He could only leave for work after the caretaker arrived.
In a short while, a caretaker from Crawford Manor came with two flasks in her hands. "Sorry that I'mlate, Sir. There was some traffic on the road." "It's fine." Luke stood up. "The thermometer is on thetable. Take her temperature once every half an hour, and tell the nurse if the temperature fluctuates bytoo much. Also, make sure that she's hydrated." "Yes, yes." The caretaker remembered what Luke toldher.
Luke glanced at Bianca again and said, "Call me if there's an emergency. I need to return to thecompany for some work." "Ah, Sir, please eat some breakfast before you leave. Old Master Crawfordasked me to prepare this for you. You shouldn't starve yourself," the caretaker said as she handed a
flask to Luke. That was the oatmeal she had prepared for Luke, while the other flask contained someclear broth for Bianca.
They had rushed to the hospital, so they had not eaten their breakfast.
Luke took the flask and said, "I'll eat it when I get to the company. Take care of Madam." "Yes." Thecaretaker nodded and watched him leave.novelbin
'He's changed...1
She had been working in Crawford Manor for many years, and she knew how loving Luke was toBianca.
Luke would never leave Bianca alone if she fell sick, and he would take care of her himself.
Other people might still see them as a loving couple, but they would not know as much as Luke'sservants.
Some time later, Bianca slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she tried to look for Luke, but shedid not see him in the room.
"Where's Luke?" Bianca asked. She could tell that the person on the couch was one of the caretakersfrom Crawford Manor.
The caretaker quickly stood up and went to her. "Sir is back at his company. He left not too long ago."
Bianca's heart sank when she heard that Luke had neglected her so that he could work. To him, workwas more important than her...
Feeling aggrieved, she clenched her fists.
The caretaker noticed the change in Bianca’s expression and guessed what she was thinking must berelated to Luke.
Did Luke neglect her because of work or something else?
Bianca thought that Luke was not paying enough attention to her even though she had fallen sick. Itlooked like she was not sick enough.
If she were dying, would Luke still prioritize work over her?
Seeing Bianca's ashen face, the caretaker tried to comfort her, "Don't be angry, Madam. I don't think Sirmeans to neglect you. I'm sure that he has a lot to do at his work."
She did not pay attention to financial news, but she knew that T Corporation was expanding rapidly, soit was normal for Luke to be busy.
