Chapter 1968

The maid left work after waiting for him to finish his bath.

Luke continued to sit in front of the office table and was settling his documents. The maid's room wasnot closed because he wanted to hear even the smallest sound from outside.

However, Luca never came back...

Only when it was one in the morning did he hear some noises from outside.

It was the sound of a door opening and closing.

Even though it was intentionally done so that there would not be much noise, Luke still heard it. 'Lucaonly came back now..'

Luke had a dark expression but did not go out. 'Is she that busy?'

Hearing the sound in the living room made Luke place his documents down. He sat there, not movingan inch.

Luca switched on the lights in the living room and noticed that the lights in the maid's room were stillon.

She frowned. She could see that the lights were on because he did not close the door.

However, Luke usually closed the door.

Luca changed her shoes and thought for a moment but did not choose to head over. She went upstairson tiptoes.

The night was especially quiet, and Luke could hear the sound of her heading upstairs.

'Didn't she notice that the lights in my bedroom are still on? Why didn't she come here to have a look?She just headed straight upstairs?'

Luke looked at the time and snorted coldly, feeling dissatisfied. He was like a husband who had beenforgotten by his wife.

Before he met Bianca, he had never thought that such a day would come!

Luke maneuvered the wheelchair and arrived at the living room. He saw that Luca had alreadyswitched off the lights in the living room and gone to the second floor. Only one lamp was switched onin the entire living room.

He thought back to the past when he was busy and working overtime. Whenever he came home late,Luca would always leave one lamp on for him in the living room.

Even though the lamp was dim, it was warm. He also knew someone was waiting for his return.

This was the warmth from a family.novelbin

However, the lamp tonight...

That light shone on his face and revealed his frustration.

The light from this lamp was very cool and not warm, just like any street lamp outside!

Two days later, Luca was sitting on the chair in the research room. She sighed.

She had narrowed it down to a dozen or so types of fungi, but she needed to test each of them to makean analysis and compare them.

Luca was starting to regret not learning about fungi from Shanks in more detail.

Now that she was alone, there was a limit to her ability. The thought of following Luke back to Russiathe following day left her feeling uneasy.

Amur came in from outside and was carrying a plastic bag in his hand. He placed the plastic bag infront of her and said, "Have something to eat, Luca."

"Just leave it there first." Luca was conducting a numerical analysis, comparing the DNA of eachfungus to one another.

Amur knew she was anxious just by looking at her. He could not help but grab her hand. "Leave theresearch aside for now. You've not eaten breakfast. Let's eat first."

Luca sighed and looked at Amur. "I'm running out of time."

"Why would there be no time?" Amur was determined. "You still have lots of time."

"I'm going back to Russia with Luke tomorrow." Luca had not informed him of this previously. She hadno choice but to reveal it at this moment.

Amur was stunned. Luca was going to Russia?

'No wonder she's been so worried for the past two days over not being able to find the right fungus.'

"How long will you be there?" Amur hated Luke. 'Not only is he useless, but he even gives her trouble.Now, he wants to occupy her time and space.'

"I have no idea, but I think I'll be there for at least two days.." Luca made a guess. Not long after theywent over, the company in Russia would announce the result. She had long ago given the biddingdocument to Abel. T Corporation would definitely not get this partnership deal.

Hence, they were merely heading over to show their faces and would not stay for too long.

It was just that she could not tell how badly the condition of her wound would worsen in those two days.

Amur clenched his fists. At this moment, he just wanted to head over to Luke and punch him. "Youhave your meal for now. Don't go over to the hospital in the afternoon. Perhaps you might find the rightfungus."

"Amur, how can there be such a coincidence? Besides, I can't just leave Nina's issue aside." Lucaglanced over and saw that the report had yet to be ready.

"Even so, you still have to eat. Taking your meal only takes a very short amount of time compared toyou helping others. Besides, maybe you're now analyzing the right fungus. Just tuck in," said Amur.

Luca sighed. Even though the machines here were very advanced, it was still a private laboratory andthere was only one such machine. Hence, her progress in extracting the sample and analyzing it togetting the report was very alow...

She could not argue with Amur and picked up her cutleries to quickly take a few bites.

"You haven't filled up your stomach," Amur said. It was not a question but a statement.

Luca had no choice but to take another few bites in a rush. "I've had enough."

She placed the lunchbox down, and at that moment, the machine let out a noise. She quickly went overto check on it.

'It's not this fungus.'

She then put another sample into the machine.

She looked at the time. If she left now, she would be right on time for her meet-up with Nina.

She looked at the machine and said, "Amur, do you mind keeping an eye on it for me? If the report isout, please snap a photo and send it to me. You can help me put the rest of the samples into themachine too."

Amur had learned how to do it after observing her operating the machine. He nodded and said, "Noworries. Just rest assured and go. I'll manage things here."

"Sorry to trouble you." Luca picked up her bag and left the building.

She drove to the hospital and immediately came to Tyrone's ward.

Tyrone was on the bed. At that moment, only Mrs. Hugh was there. Both Larry and Keith were not thereeither.

She guessed that perhaps both of them believed in her ability now, so they did not show up.

Tyrone saw Luca and slowly said, "You're here, Dr. Craw."

"Yea, I'm here. Are you feeling much better after the dry needling treatment?"

"Much better." Tyrone's response was still slow, but his pace of speech was acceptable.

Dr. Wood, who was at the side, said, "The patient has also been receiving physiotherapy in the pasttwo days and is feeling much better. His neuro report also shows that his condition is improving.”

"Maybe his nervous system is recovering. Dr. Wood, have you seen the video?" Luca was referring tothe previous video taken by Johann.

"I watch it every day," Dr. Wood replied.

"Then, you'll take over today," said Luca.

"Me? Dr. Craw, according to the prepared course of treatment, shouldn't we do it tomorrow?" Dr. Woodasked curiously.

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, so we'll do it today. Doing it a few hours in advance won't affectthe treatment. Get ready." Luca put down her bag. This time, she was not planning to conduct thetreatment and was letting Dr. Wood take over.

"Alright. Can the family members leave for the duration of the treatment?" Dr. Wood said.

Mrs. Hugh and Nina left the ward together.

Luca had Tyrone lay down, then said to Dr. Wood, "You can use the hospital's equipment."

"It won't have any adverse effects, right?" Dr. Wood asked.

"No. It's just a matter of one's feel of the needles,” said Luca as she took the antiseptic beside andsanitized her hands. She then put on the sterile gloves.
