Chapter 1248 Luca Should Have Been the Outsider
Bianca could also sense the situation she had put herself in. At the moment, she was clearly lucid, buther body was uncomfortably hot. "I took one pill," she said.
Luca blinked, though her expression did not change. "That's too much. You can only take half a pill atmost."
"You're lying." Bianca did not believe her. She thought that Luca was only trying to scare her.
"I guess the person who gave you the pill didn't tell you the proper instructions, or you might havemissed it." Luca stood up and walked toward the door.
Bianca tried to recall what she was told when she was given the pill, but her head was spinning, andshe could not remember anything at all. She wanted to ask more probing questions, but Luca hadalready left the room.
"Mrs. Crawford is awake," she told the people waiting outside of the room.
Bianca watched Luke walking into the room while holding Tommy's hand. Behind him, Queenie, Jack,the caretaker, and the nurse also followed. She could only swallow the words that were on the tip of hertongue.
"Bianca, are you awake? Let me look at you." Queenie quickly walked over to the bed. She startedtearing up when she saw Bianca sitting weakly over there. "How are you feeling now, Bea?"
Bianca remembered what she had told the nurse before she fell asleep the night before. Even thoughshe felt intensely uncomfortable, she said, "I don't feel too well, Mom..."
Queenie became flustered when she heard that. She turned around and looked at Luca. "What shouldwe do now, Luca?"novelbin
Luca looked at Bianca resentfully. She had brought this upon herself, and she still wanted Queenie toworry about her.
"I’ve read the medical report, and I can safely say that it's just the common cold. Just take good care ofher, and she'll be fine," she said.
Even though Bianca was feeling groggy, her eyes widened when she heard Luca mention the medicalreport. "What medical report?" She asked.
Queenie explained, "You had a high fever the night before, and the temperature won't come down. Thedoctor took a blood sample, ran some tests, and found that everything is normal. Don't worry."
Bianca shuddered involuntarily when she heard that her blood was taken. She looked at Luke. "Luke..."
'Could he have discovered something?'
Luke noticed the anxiety in her eyes. He said, "The report shows that there's nothing wrong with you.You'll be fine."
Bianca felt slightly relieved when she noticed that there was nothing unusual about Luke's expressionor tone of voice." I've already told you that there's nothing wrong with me. It's
just the common cold. I don't really need any tests."
When the nurse heard that, she could not help but think, 'If you're so smart, why don't you stay at homeand treat yourself? Why do you have to come here, and all of us have to bend to your whims?'
Queenie placed her hand on Bianca's forehead and found that it was still shockingly hot. "What shouldBea do now, Luca? The medication that the doctor gave her isn't working at all."
"She's probably building an immunity to the drug. That's normal, considering that Mrs. Crawford has aweak constitution. If I prescribe her a herbal concoction, I believe that she will eventually recover," Lucasaid, i
When Bianca heard that, she asked, "Can you at least lower my body temperature?"
She was afraid that the fever would cause permanent problems.
Luca nodded and said, "I'll try my best."
She sat down on the couch and began to type a note on her phone. It was a herbal concoction.
There was no antidote to the drug that Bianca took. Luca could only prescribe a herbal concoction tosuppress the effects of the drug and lower her body temperature.
A while later, Luca took out a piece of note paper and a pen from her handbag. She copied thecontents of the screen on the note paper and handed it to the nurse. "Here's the prescription. Get theherb and pack them into daily portions."
"Uh..." The nurse hesitated and did not take the note paper.
"What's wrong?" Luca frowned.
"You're not a doctor at this hospital, so we can't accept your prescription." The nurse glanced at whatLuca wrote on the note paper. Many of the herbs were utterly unfamiliar to her.
After all, one would not find herbs in a hospital's dispensary.
Luca thought that what the nurse said made sense. Queenie took the note paper from Luca's hand andsaid, "I'll go and get them from somewhere else, then I'll come back after I've prepared the concoction."
She did not question Luca's prescription, thinking that Luca would not deliberately harm Bianca.
Putting it in other words, Queenie did not think Luca would deliberately harm anyone.
Now that Luca's job was done, she did not care about what other people were going to do to Bianca.She looked at Luke and said, "Mr. Crawford, if there's nothing else, I'd like to return to work."
Luca was not a doctor, nor was she a caretaker of the Crawford family. Luke had no right to detain her,so he nodded and said, "I’ll get Sean to send you there."
"It's fine. I'll catch a cab," Luca refused.
When Tommy heard that Luca was going to leave, he quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Are youleaving, Ms.
Luca? Can I come along with you? I won't disturb your work."
Luca smiled and patted the boy's head. "I cant bring you along. I'll be very busy."
"Ms. Luca..." Tommy was still trying to convince her.
"Tommy," Luke called out to his son.
Tommy reluctantly let go of Luca so that she could leave.
After Luca left, Tommy looked at his father resentfully. "It's not like you have time to take care of meanyway. Why don't you let me go with Ms. Luca?"
"She needs to work," Luke said sternly.
Tommy pouted unhappily.
Queenie could not bear to see her grandson looking so aggrieved. She said to Tommy, "Are you boredstaying in the hospital? Come, let me bring you out for a walk."
"Yes, Grandma." Tommy did not want to stay in the hospital for a moment longer.
Queenie said, "I'll go to the pharmacy to get the herbs, then I'll go home and prepare it before comingback."
"Mm." Luke watched his in-laws leave before sitting on the couch.
Bianca burned with jealousy when she witnessed the interaction.
Luca should have been the outsider, but she was closer to her husband and parents than her!
Looking at how Tommy clung to Luca, other people might think that Luca was Tommy's mother!
Then, there was Luke...
Even though he had kept his distance from Luca, Bianca could still sense that his eyes were gazing atLuca more than half of the time!
Bianca gripped the bed sheets tightly, the physical discomfort of her body exacerbated by the jealousyin her heart.
The caretaker noticed Bianca's discomfort. "Are you okay, Madam? Do you want to drink some water?"
"No!" Bianca refused even though her lips were cracked.
The nurse said, "Mrs. Crawford, you should drink more water now. The fever has caused you tobecome dehydrated."
