Female Novel
Chapter 1529
Luca leaned against Luke and silently endured the pain she felt in her heart.
The scene was what she had dreamed and hoped for countless nights. Now that she was able to curlup beside him, those dreams had come true.
However, she was still unhappy.
What Luca wanted was not his indifferent attitude. Even though the temperature of his body couldwarm her body, she was not close to getting the warmth and love from his heart.
She initially thought that Luke’s concern toward her was real.
However, it seemed that it was all fake. His attitude was cold, and she knew she had no grounds to askhim to treat her warmly.
“Get some sleep. It’s going to be dawn soon,” Luke said with his eyes closed.
Luca did not know how he knew she was not asleep. She leaned against him and closed her eyes.
At dawn, the rain stopped.
When the rain stopped, the birds in the forest flew out. Luca opened her eyes. When she heard thebirds chirping, she knew that the weather was clear.
Luca raised her gaze. She wanted to take a look at Luke’s side profile before silently leaving hisembrace. After all, she had received his warmth for about two hours. It was enough for her toremember it for a long time.
The moment she looked up, she met Luke’s eyes.
He had woken up and had been looking at her.
“Mr. Crawford, you’re awake…” Luca stood up immediately but she moved too fast and the pain in herwaist shocked her.
She frowned and held her waist.
Luke noticed her actions and reminded her. “Be careful.”
After he said that, he took out his phone and tried to turn it on but the phone did not respond. Helooked at Luca and asked, “My phone is dead. Can you turn yours on?”
Luca nodded and looked at the rucksack that she had casually put aside yesterday. She picked it up,opened it, and took out her phone.
After she pressed the power button, her phone lit up. “My phone can be used. I’ll notify Mr. Doyle.”
“Get him to inform the staff and take the cable car up the mountain. Have them clear the rocks,” Lukeinstructed. The staff could only go up the mountain after clearing the rocks in the way.
Luca was not in the best situation to go down the mountain. If he carried her down the mountain, itwould be fine at first but after a while, it would be too much for his body to bear.
The best way was to find someone to clear the rocks on the mountain road. Then, he would carry herup the mountain and they would take the cable car down.
Luca nodded. The moment her phone was turned on, she called Jason.
The phone rang for a second and was immediately answered.
Luca guessed that Jason and Tina were probably going crazy from not being able to get in touch withLuke for one night.
“Dr. Craw, is that you?” Before she could speak, Jason, who was on the other end of the phone, askedanxiously.
“It’s me. Mr. Crawford and I are fine.” Luca let them know they were okay to reassure them and thenrelayed Luke’s words.
After Jason heard her, he immediately said, “Okay, stay where you are and don’t move. I’ll make thearrangements right away. Dr. Craw, if your phone has enough battery, can you share your livelocation?”
Luca glanced at her phone battery and felt bad. “That won’t work. My phone only has 50 percent ofbattery left. Anyway, we’re not far from the mountain but we don’t know how many rocks there are onthe mountain road. Please have the villa’s person in charge bring more workers to clear them up.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away,” Jason said and gave Tina a gesture to indicate that the two were fine.
Luke took Luca’s phone and said to Jason, “Get a doctor on standby as well.”
“Doctor? Boss, are you and Dr. Craw injured?” Jason was immediately concerned.
“I’m fine. Arrange it right away.” Luke finished speaking and ended the call. He glanced at Luca’s phoneand found that her phone seemed a little different from the phones in the market.
It was a phone with two front cameras…
Luca took her phone and put it in her bag.
“Where did you buy this phone? It seems to be of good quality,” Luke said. His phone was alsodrenched in water but her phone could be turned on after a night while his phone was not at allresponsive.
“A friend helped me make some tweaks to it,” Luca held the phone and explained casually.
Luke did not say anything.novelbin
The other side.
When he heard the busy tone, Jason quickly hung up and contacted Villa Almira’s person in charge.The person in charge was very frightened when he heard that his big client was stuck on the mountainbecause of rocks blocking the way and that someone was injured.
Although Villa Almira was luxurious, as long as Luke gave an order, it was easy for Villa Almira to beinspected by the relevant departments or even go bankrupt.
He immediately arranged for porters and called an ambulance.
Half an hour later, the group reached the top of the mountain. Jason pointed them to the right way andsaid, “It should be this road since it’s covered with rocks. Go down and see what’s going on.”
He believed that Luke would not fumble around. If he said that there were rocks, there would definitelybe rocks and they must be in the way, causing them to not be able to walk on the normal mountainpaths. It would explain the current situation…
The group went down in a mighty manner, and after they walked for about 200 meters, they began tofind some gravel on the steps.
“What’s going on?” The person in charge looked at the gravel, then turned a corner and saw severalrocks blocking the mountain road.
The rocks were about half the height of a person, and the other rocks were not small either.
“Didn’t I ask you to check the area regularly? Why are there so many rocks?” The person in chargeasked the staff member who was in charge of the scenic spot.
“Sir, the rocks may have slipped down from the mountain when it rained last night.” The staff memberknew that he was going to be in trouble and quickly explained.
Jason knew that this was their negligence. After all, mountain roads as such would usually be checkedevery two days. The staff probably did not expect this, so they slacked off.
“These rocks blocked our boss’ way yesterday. How could it have happened last night…” Jasonuncovered the staff member’s lie.
The staff member choked and replied, “It’s been raining these past few days. I don’t know—”
“You don’t know?! I told you to check this area frequently. You must’ve been lazy, so you took joy rideson the cable car instead. That’s why you didn’t notice these rocks. Go and clean them up. Time is ofthe essence!” The person in charge knew that Luke was someone they could not afford to offend, whileJason was not someone who could be fooled by just a few words. Hence, he yelled loudly.
When the workers heard him, they immediately began to work. Some were moving the rocks whilesome were shoveling the rocks to the side.
Jason looked at them and sneered, “Sir, it seems that the railings in your scenic spot are quite strong. Ifthere were no railings, the rocks that slid down the mountain would all have gone to the cliff, right?”
There were railings in the way and the sliding force of the stone steps was not enough, so the rockslanded where they did.
