Chapter 1904

“Nothing. It's just a relapse." Luca knew telling an experienced doctor like Johann that she was finewould arouse his suspicion. She had no choice but to find another excuse.

"Do you need me to do a check-up on you?" Johann asked caringly.

"It's alright. It's just my usual lower back pain. I got this. Thank you." Luca rejected Johann politely witha slightly awkward smile on her face.

Luca did not expect she would be so careless in front of Johann and make him realize that somethingwas wrong with her.

"Although you have some medical skills and know your health condition well, some conditions need tobe treated as soon as possible," Johann advised her. He could not say anything since Luca insistedthat she did not need a check-up.

"I know that. Thank you." Luca thanked Johann politely. Although what he said did make sense, shecould not let anyone check her wound.

Half an hour later, Jason walked out of the ward after he finished reporting to Luke. He was surprised tosee Johann and Luca standing outside the door. "Dr. Park, you're here too."

"Yes. I came to check on your boss' condition." Johann smiled and replied, "Oh, please try your best toreduce his workload. He can't be too tired now."

Jason let out a sigh and shook his head helplessly. "I know, but I can't make the decision for him whenit comes to certain work matters."

Luke was different from the bosses of other companies. He was very particular about doing things onhis own if they were important.

However, it was just because of that that T Corporation was growing better under his leadership.

Furthermore, companies as big as T Corporation were usually family businesses. There would be a fewfamily members managing the company together.

Currently, the Crawford family only had Luke and Louis.

Luke, who was the eldest son and Louis' elder brother, shouldered Louis' share of the responsibilityafter finding out that Louis had his own dreams.

Luke did not care about what others said about how he fought with his brother for the family businessand that he was an imperious person.

Only those who were by Luke's side knew that Luke made that decision not because he wanted to gainthe upper hand in the family. Instead, he was protecting Louis and allowing Louis to have his ownspace and time to pursue his dreams.

Louis used to be playful back then. Luke once forced Louis to work in T Corporation to make sure thathe would not get out of touch with society. Now, Louis was no longer playful, and he began to focus onhis career. Luke let Louis go and gave him enough capital to let him pursue his dreams. T Corporationwould welcome him back anytime.

That was why in other families, a few members would help out in managing the company, but Luke wasall alone.

Everything in the company would eventually fall on Luke's shoulders no matter how much hissubordinates helped him.novelbin

Johann shrugged his shoulders and sighed. “I was lucky enough to become a doctor. Otherwise, Iwould've ended up like him too."

Luke sat on the bed and heard Johann gloating over his misfortune. He reminded Johann, "You're nobetter than I am after becoming a doctor."

Johann walked into the ward and looked at the man who was stuck on the bed with a leg cast. Lukewas already in bed, yet his attitude was the same. "At least a doctor gets to have a holiday. And it'sinteresting to meet different kinds of people every day."

"But you're still single," Luke retorted mercilessly.

Johann was left speechless. Well, he met different kinds of people every day, but he was not interestedin those people.

That was why he was still single...

"And you can't even have a good night's sleep when you're on duty," Luke continued.

Luca, who was listening to their conversation, could not help but smile. Luke never used to talk much,but his words were always hard-hitting whenever he said something mean.

It was just like Johann's situation now.

"I didn't get any rest last night because of you. Let me measure your blood pressure." Johann pickedup the blood pressure monitor beside Luke brusquely, and he was about to wrap the cuff around Luke'sarm.

Luke watched Johann's gestures and reminded him coldly. "My blood pressure is normal."

"I can see that you're behaving unusually today. You're talking too much. Is there a blood clot in yourbrain that's pinching your nerves? Why don't I continue to work overtime tonight to get you on theoperating table and take a look at your brain?" Johann looked at Luke resentfully. He was annoyed forgetting snubbed twice. Johann hated it!

Luke looked up, glanced at Johann calmly, and said, "Sure."

Johann thought Luke would at least say something and squabble with him. He did not expect Luke toend the conversation between them with just a word.

Johann looked at Luca pathetically. How could her man be so naughty?

This way, he would be the one acting childishly in the eyes of others.

Johann wrapped the cuff on Luke's arm and began to measure his blood pressure. Then, he picked upthe infrared thermometer and pointed it at Luke's forehead to measure his body temperature.

After that, Johann recorded the data on Luke's medical record.

Luca glanced at the data. The results were normal, so Luke should be fine.

Luke watched Johann keep the medical record properly. He noticed that Johann did not seem to havethe intention of leaving. He asked, “Is there anything else you need to check?" "No. You seem prettygood now. I'm just wondering if I was wrong about the CT scan," Johann mentioned it deliberately.

Luke could sense the threat in Johann's voice. Was Johann planning to tell Luca that there was actuallyno bleeding in Luke's brain?

Luke was not afraid. After all, it was Johann and Percy who lied to Luca. Even if Luca got mad, she hadno reason to be mad at him. Besides, his right leg was broken now. There was no way she would leavehim alone.

"Then you'll have to take a good look at it. Perhaps it was a misdiagnosis," Luke replied, and he tried todrive Johann crazy again. "But you're a medical expert and an experienced doctor. How could youhave made such mistakes?"

Johann shook his head and patted the cast on his leg twice, saying, "Of course, I wouldn't. So, thatleads to only one explanation—you have good physical abilities."

Luke nodded.

Johann was even more annoyed. He still could not win the argument after everything he had said!

Johann had no choice but to turn around and look at Luca. He said, "Dr. Craw, come to my office tolook for me if you need anything. Oh yes, it doesn't matter if I've gotten off work. I'll come back here ifyou give me a call. I have to leave now."

After that, Johann turned around and left.

Luke's face darkened a little when he heard those ambiguous words. Were Luca and Johann thatclose?

Why did the two of them seem to share a secret?

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Luke asked.

Luca shook her head and returned to the sofa. "Mr. Crawford, I'm fine."

"What is he talking about?" Luke asked.

Luca simply found an excuse to explain it to him, "I talked to Dr. Park while we were waiting outside thedoor. We talked about a type of disease and he told me that he has some information on it."

Luke sneered in a low voice. It seemed like Luca was more interested in medical knowledge after shereturned.
