Female Novel
Chapter 1496
After Luke left the prison, he gave a call to Johann. He found out that Johann was performingconsultations at the outpatient department and had no operations scheduled, so he made anappointment with him and went over to the hospital.
Johann had already informed the nurse at the registration counter that Luke was coming, so Luke wentstraight to his room.
“Let me deal with this patient first!” When Luke walked in, Johann was telling the patient to turn aroundand take a deep breath.novelbin
Luke leaned on the wall. “No rush.”
After checking the patient’s vitals, Johann scheduled an X-ray for him. After the patient left, Johannclosed the door and grinned, “You don’t look like you’re not in a rush.”
If Luke had nothing urgent, he would usually find Johann after work.
After all, Johann was one of the most popular doctors in A City. Luke had to have something incrediblyimportant to take up Johann’s precious consultation time.
Luke looked at Johann for a short while and said, “I need your help with something.”
“You rarely sound so polite,” Johann raised his eyebrows and said as he returned to his seat. Usually,Luke would directly tell him his request and not be so tactful.
“It’s about my mother. After she was sent to prison, her skin began to crack. Now, her face is full ofscars,” Luke said.
Johann frowned. “Do you have a photo?”
“Yes. That’s from three years ago. Things have gotten even more serious since then,” Luke said whileshowing Johann a photo on his phone. The lawyer had taken the photo three years ago, but Allison toldhim that she did not want Luke to know.
Johann looked at the photo closely and rubbed his chin. “That’s very serious. Didn’t she see a doctor?”
“She didn’t want to meet me. Also, the doctors didn’t find anything wrong with her health. None of thecommon treatment methods worked.”
“You can’t solve this problem with common treatment methods. It’s just that it has gotten so serious, yetit doesn’t affect her health. This isn’t some ordinary skin disease. I’ll have to perform a thoroughexamination,” Johann said. He was not an expert in dermatology, but he could see that it was not anordinary skin disease.
“Mm. She finally decided to meet me because she wanted to have it fixed. Come with me to meet hertomorrow if you’re free,” Luke said.
“Sure. I can also bring some equipment to take a blood sample. I can’t say that I’m confident in treatingher though, it’s the first time I’ve seen something like this. Why don’t you get another person to comealong too?” Johann said. He had a hunch that Allison’s symptoms were caused by a drug or a poison.
He would need some help performing the examination or even running the analysis.
He was an expert in diagnosing diseases from symptoms exhibited by the body. If the patient’ssymptoms were caused by something external, he would need an expert in that area.
“Luca?” Luke did not take long to guess the person Johann had in mind.
He had also thought of asking Luca for help too.
“Yes!” Johann nodded and said. “Luca is a better expert than me in medicine.”
Johann rarely admitted his admiration for another person’s skills. Luca was such an individual.
Luke gazed at him grimly.
Johann rubbed his cheek and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
“Do you have feelings for Luca?” Luke asked. Somehow, he was not very happy when he that Johannmight have a crush on Luca, as though Luca was someone very dear to him.
He did not quite understand that feeling though. Bianca should have been the person dearest to him.He was not going to change his affection for Luca just because Bianca was missing.
“No, no! Don’t even think about it!” Johann quickly denied it when he sensed the hostility in Luke’sgaze. “All I have for Dr. Craw is genuine admiration for her professional work. I believe she will be ableto help your mother.”
“Mm.” Even though Johann denied it, Luke did not change what he thought.
He could still feel that Johann had some other feelings for Luca.
Johann was peerless in his field of expertise. He did not get any other doctor to be his assistant, andhe would never use another doctor’s opinion in his diagnoses.
Even so, he had never made a mistake. Many fresh medical graduates wanted to be his assistant, buthe rejected all of them.
Despite being a loner, he was quite popular in the hospital. Everyone genuinely admired his skills.
“I’ll let her know. You’ll just have to go to the prison tomorrow. I’ll get the lawyer to make arrangements,”Luke said.
“No problem. I’ll adjust my schedule now,” Johann said.
Seeing that Johann had agreed to it, Luke left.
It was already lunchtime by the time he returned to T Corporation.
Luke did not immediately return to his office. Instead, he went to the twelfth floor, where the laboratorywas. He knew from daily observation that Luca usually stayed in her office during lunchtime while Rhettwould get lunch for her.
He guessed that Luca was in her office, just as usual.
Luke glanced down the corridor. Everyone else was in the cafeteria, so there was not a sound.
He walked in front of Luca’s office.
He hesitated for a few seconds before knocking on the door. Johann was right; without Luca’s help,there might be no way to help Allison.
“Come in,” Luca’s voice was heard from inside.
Luke opened the door and saw Luca sitting in front of her desk browsing some documents. “Are youfree now?” He asked.
Luca raised her head in shock when she heard Luke’s voice. She did not expect it was him.
“How may I help you, Mr. Crawford?” She said as she put away the document in her hands.
“Are you free tomorrow?” Luke asked but did not tell her what it was.
Luca thought that he was asking her out on a date. Was he going to do that just to test her?
Those thoughts flashed in her mind for a brief second, but she soon dismissed them all.
“If it’s a work-related matter, I can make time for it,” Luca said, emphasizing “work.”
Luke noticed the nuance in her words.
He thought about what he said earlier and realized that it was indeed quite misleading.
If he had said that to other women, though, they would be ecstatic. Luca emphasized on work instead.
“Yes, it’s work-related. You don’t have to come to the company tomorrow morning. I’ll pick you up atyour apartment at half-past seven,” Luke said coolly as he inserted his hands into his pockets.
