Female Novel
Chapter 1898
Luca looked at Tina thankfully and said, “Thank you."
“Don't mention it. Take a look at these. Is there anything you need?" Tina shook her head. She had yetto know Luca's true identity, and she just thought it was tough for Luca to take care of Luke.
After all, Tina knew how unpredictable Luke could be and how hard it was to serve him.
“Alright. Let me see." Luca was still planning to ask the maid to come over after the kids came backfrom school. Then, she could go back and pack some stuff. After all, she had to watch over Luke. Shemight have to stay here for a few days.
There was no way she could stay here without bringing any clothes with her.
Tina followed behind her and explained, "Mr. Doyle and I went to the mansion to take these. I didn'tknow what you needed, so I grabbed some warm clothes, the skincare products on your dressing table,and some toiletries. As for Mr. Crawford's things, I didn't dare to go into his bedroom. I didn't manage toget anything for him."
Luca checked the things, and there was nothing she lacked. Tina had prepared everything well.
“These will be enough. Thank you," said Luca. She thanked Tina from the bottom of her heart.
Tina knew Luca was staying together with Luke. She was not curious about it, and neither did shegossip about it. Instead, she helped Luca keep it a secret.
Hence, even though Tina had found out about it, Luca was assured that the news would not spread inthe office.
“No problem. Let me report my work first," replied Tina.
"Sure." Luca nodded as she watched Tina walk toward Jason and stand beside him. She joined him toreport on their work. Luca took the initiative to walk out of the ward to avert any suspicion. She headedto the corridor.
Johann had arranged for Luke's ward to be at the end of the corridor. With this arrangement, hisprivacy was well protected.
Luca could understand Johann's good intentions.
There was a door at the end of the corridor. The door led to a garden. However, the door to the gardenwas closed to prevent patients from doing things that could harm themselves.
Luca could see the scenery of the garden through the windows.
It was an outdoor garden. The leaves had already fallen off the plants, leaving the bare branches onthem.
Luca let out a sigh. Frost had begun to cover the windows.
It would be snowing soon.
Luca recalled that three years ago when her family was still living a peaceful life, Luke would bring thekids to the yard to have a snowball fight on the first snowfall of the year.
Luke and the kids would wear warm clothes, so they were not afraid of the cold. They would throwsnowballs at each other happily.
Rainie had little strength, so she could never win against her elder brother. Tommy was still little backthen and was always defeated by his elder brother and sister. Luke would help Rainie to makesnowballs and carry Tommy on his shoulders so that he could throw the snowballs from a higherposition.
Meanwhile, she would prepare warm tea and refreshments for them in the kitchen. Sometimes, shewould look at them playing in the yard through the windows. She would always be amused by theirlaughter.
She had such a warm family at that time.
Even though it was snowing outside, their hearts were warm and they could withstand the cold winter.
Luca wrapped her arms around herself and stood at the end of the corridor while looking outside thewindows. The scenery outside was not beautiful, but it reminded her of the past.
It would be snowing soon, and the kids would be having their winter break...
"Luca?" A voice interrupted Luca's thoughts. She turned around and realized that it was Nina callingout her name.
"Nina, why are you here?" Luca remembered that Nina was probably here because of Jean's matter.
Nina smiled at her bitterly and explained, "I'm cleaning up Jean's mess."
Nina had been exhausted in the past few days. Tyrone's condition was very unstable, and he hadstayed in the ICU for another two days. The doctor only approved Tyrone to be transferred to thegeneral ward today.
Nina felt guilty about it. She requested Johann to get Tyrone a VIP ward so that he could get betterresources for recuperation. That was why she followed Tyrone here.
Nina did not expect to run into Luca.
Luca listened to Nina's explanation and understood how helpless Nina felt. Nina even refused toaddress Jean as her elder brother now. It seemed like the matter was quite difficult and troublesome
this time.
"How's the man who got beaten up by Jean?" Luca had asked Percy about the matter while she waswaiting for Luke to get his leg cast. That was why she knew about it.
"His life is no longer in danger. And he has regained consciousness. That's why I asked Dr. Park to gethim a VIP ward for him to continue receiving medical treatment," answered Nina. It was Jean's fault,after all. Hence, spending a little more money was necessary to calm the Hugh family's anger.
Luca nodded. "Tell me if you need anything. I'll help with whatever I can."
"There's actually something you can help me with." Nina took a deep breath and decided to tell thetruth. The chances of Jean being thrown into prison would be lowered if Luca could help.
"Tell me." Luca noticed the anxiety in Nina's eyes. She promised to help her without a second thought.
"The doctor told me that the surgery might have caused some damage to Tyrone's nerves, but hedoesn't know the extent of the damage for now. Tyrone might need to receive physiotherapy, includingacupuncture treatment. I've heard Dr. Park mention that you studied a lot about acupuncture treatmentin the past, and your skills are better than those of other doctors. That's why I'd like to ask you for afavor. Can you help me if Tyrone really does need..." Nina knew it was abrupt of her to ask for Luca'shelp all of a sudden, but she had no other way.
“Of course." Luca agreed to help her without hesitation.
Nina let out a sigh of relief. The chances of Tyrone completely recovering would be higher with Lucahelping her.
"Thank you." Nina's eyes reddened. Before this, Nina was always wondering if she should ask forLuca's help. However, she knew Luca was quite busy with her work. The uneasiness in Nina's heart
was relieved the moment Luca agreed to help her.
"Alright. Let's not talk about this anymore." Luca lifted her hand, pondered for a moment, and strokedNina's head.
A familiar feeling aroused in Nina's heart. She had always felt familiar with Luca. She was even surer ofher feelings when Luca stroked her head.novelbin
"Oh, how's Luke?" Nina had received news that Luke got into an accident from Percy.
Luca replied, "Everything is in control. He should be fine."
"That's great." Nina let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, someone walked out of the ward. It was Keith. He looked at Nina with slightly narrowed eyesand said, "I thought you escaped."
"I told you before. I'll take responsibility and won't run away." Nina turned around and gave him a sternlook.
"You said that when you didn't know how serious my brother's condition was at that time. Who knows ifyou'll run away? It'll be a big problem if my brother doesn't recover!" Keith was the most educated oneamong the three brothers. That was why he could understand the doctor's words very well.
