Female Novel
Chapter 1652
Nina sat in the chair and chatted with her. "Nothing good happens whenever he's around. He said hewanted to work with Brilliant Architectural Design LLC."
"Work with your company?" Luca frowned slightly and accidentally tugged on the wound. She raisedher hand to touch it subconsciously and moaned in pain.
Nina panicked, asking, "What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?"
Luca shifted her attention from the pain and shook her head. "It's okay. It doesn't hurt."
Nina saw that Luca's bandage was still snow-white and there was no blood oozing out. She said, "Youmust be careful. Restrain your expressions before the wound heals, or it might leave a scar."
Luca felt a surge of warmth from her nagging. She continued the topic that they were on just now. "Whydid he propose a partnership?"
"He said that his company has just been established and the capabilities of his design department arestill lacking, so he wants to hire an agency. I think he's deliberately picking a fight. Why would he wantto engage with Brilliant Architectural Design LLC? The company was set up by Mr. Crawford's wife.She's not actively involved now and everything is managed by Mr. Crawford. Don't you think that Pierreis making a scene so that his presence is felt?" Nina replied. She was filled with disgust whenever shetalked about Pierre.
She thought of what Pierre had done. He was just a socialite who liked to play tricks but did not havemany capabilities.
After this incident, all of his cards were revealed. Luca did not know if Luke and Percy knew about itearlier on, but when she found out, she was quite shocked.
She would be lying if she said that she was not the least bit terrified.
She held Nina's hand and warned her. "Pierre can't be taken lightly. You have to protect yourself,promise?"
Nina listened to her words and nodded in response. "I will, and you too..."
The two chatted for a while longer before Nina left.
Luca talked to her for quite some time and felt a little thirsty. She wanted to pour herself a glass ofwater. May immediately stepped forward when she saw this. "Ms. Craw, let me help you."
Luca watched as May poured water for her. She thought of how May had been taking care of her andhow she was not afraid of Pierre when he was around. Luca suspected that she was not an ordinary
nurse.
"May, you're not a nurse in this hospital, are you?" She posed it as a question, but her tone seemed likeshe was sure.
May was stunned as she put down the water bottle. When she handed the cup of water to Luca, shehad calmed down. She said with a smile, "Ms. Craw, if I'm not a nurse, why would Mr. Crawford haveme take care of you?"
"You're Mr. Crawford's subordinate, so he sent you to take care of me." Luca took the cup of water, puta straw in it, and drank some.
"I'm indeed his subordinate. After all, it was Mr. Crawford who hired me." May opted to be a little vague.
After hearing her say that, Luca was even more certain that May was Luke's subordinate.
It did not matter if she did not admit it. After all, she already knew the truth.
May was a little nervous when Luca did not respond. She was not sure what went wrong. 'Why is shesuspecting me out of the blue?'
Seeing that it was almost time, May picked up the medicines on the table and asked, "Ms. Craw, doyou want to take your medicine now?"
Luca glanced at the time. When she was in the hospital, time felt like it passed slowly. All she did waseat and sleep. Even though she could get out of bed and walk around, she had nowhere to go.
The clothing she had on made it even more inconvenient.
Luca thought that it was not a bad idea for her to take her medicine now and rest earlier.
After Luca nodded, May divided the medicines. After Luca took them, she lay down on the bed.
Just then, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a text from Jason.novelbin
He was checking in to see how she was doing.
Luca lay down and briefly updated him about her situation.
After a while, Jason sent a text asking her for help. He had a document in Russian that he could nottranslate, so he asked her if she had the time to help.
Luca thought that Jason would not go to her to ask for help if he had other options.
She agreed immediately and asked Jason to send the digital version of the document to her. Lucapromised to help him translate it as soon as possible.
Jason was relieved to learn that she was willing to help him. He told her that he would send the laptopand documents over later.
Luca looked at the text and quickly replied. [Okay.]
15 minutes later, Jason arrived at the ward.
Luca looked at the man with a laptop in one hand and a document in the other. She asked, "Mr. Doyle,were you at the hospital's entrance before this?"
The documents in Jason's hands were urgent. If the documents were handed to others to betranslated, the information might be leaked. Since Luke trusted Luca, Jason believed that it should notbe a problem if he handed the documents to her to translate.
He did not want to disturb her rest but had no other options.
Jason was a little embarrassed. He smiled and put down the things in his hands. "Yes. I had no choice.I don't feel secure handing these documents to outsiders to translate."
"I understand." Luca nodded, took the documents in his hand, glanced at them, and said, "There's notmuch that needs to be translated. You can head home to accompany Sue and the kids. Just drop bytomorrow to collect the finished work."
"Thank you for the trouble, Dr. Craw." Jason felt at ease now that Luca had agreed to help.
After Jason left, May said, "Ms. Craw, you're still recovering from your injuries. Why did you agree tothe task?"
Luca knew that May was just concerned about her health, so she explained, "He wouldn't have askedme for help if he had other options."
Luca turned on the laptop and opened the documents. May knew that it was not her place to stop Luca.
Luca picked up the documents and glanced at them. She then said to May, "It may take a while for meto do this. You can go to bed first. I'll turn on the light by the bedside. It'll be bright enough for me towork."
"It's not enough. Doing that will hurt your eyes. Let's leave the lights in the ward on. It won't affect meanyway," May said as she set up the escort bed.
Luca said nothing and started to translate the documents.
The work was not difficult. On top of that, she had looked up many of the professional terms before, soeverything went smoothly.
Unfortunately, she had taken medicine just moments ago.
Luca translated two pages before she felt sleepy. She could not stop yawning.
Her face was still swollen, so she could not yawn too hard. She had to control her movements but wasstill yawning non-stop.
She looked at the time and found that it was already half-past 11 at night.
She was only done with two pages. There were still five pages that needed to be translated.
Luca sighed. If she knew she would be doing some translation work, she would not have taken themedicine. She glanced at May, who was sleeping on the bed. She could hear May's soft snoring whenshe stayed still.
Luca wondered why Luke asked May to take care of her.
After all, compared to the previous caretakers and maids, May's alertness seemed a little low.
Luca yawned again. She thought that she would be able to translate the remaining five pages quicker ifshe had the energy, so she set an alarm on her phone. She planned to get some rest and then get upto finish the work.
