Chapter 2278
An hour later.
Luca's fever subsided completely. Although she was still asleep, she stopped babbling.
"I told you so." Johann rolled up his sleeves, pulled Luca's sleeves up a little, and quickly found herblood vessel. He then inserted the needle into her blood vessel. Then, the solution slowly dripped intoher veins.
Luke noticed that Luca's complexion got a little better. His heart felt as though it was tugged as he sawwhat Johann was doing.
Luca would not have to suffer as much if he had been remembered to bring that bag.
With the needle in place, Johann secured the pillow and glanced at Luke.
He saw his expression. Luke was looking at him like he had stabbed Luca too many times. He quicklysaid, "I jabbed her once, that's all. It went well. She's asleep, so she won't feel any pain."
"You can get out now," Luke said.
"How could you kick me out after you used me? It's not only overkill but it's quite unconscionable,"Johann muttered as he put away his medical supplies.
"Aunt Neile prepared lunch for you downstairs," Luke said. He was not unscrupulous. He just wantedJohann, the third wheel, to leave the room.
"That's nice of you. Call out to me if something happens. I'll go grab a bite now." Johann did not plan toleave the villa. After all, he did not need to go to the outpatient clinic that day. He also handed Leia toanother doctor so he did not need to go to the hospital as well.
As such, he decided to stay there and be on standby.
He wanted to avoid having to run back and forth in case Luca's fever came back.
Luke did not say anything, Johann did not wait for him to reply before he headed downstairs.
It was past mealtime, so the children, under the care of Aunt Neile, had finished their meal and wentupstairs to take a nap.
Aunt Neile was the only one left in the entire living room. She was cleaning.
"Dr. Park, you haven't eaten yet, yeah? There's some food in the kitchen. Do you want to eat now?"Aunt Neile hurriedly put down her tools and asked Johann.
"That'd be great. Thank you." Johann nodded. He had been hungry for some time now.
Aunt Neile brought his meal to the dining room. Johann sat down and thought of Luke, who wasupstairs, as he was about to eat.
Luca was getting a nutrient injection, so she would not be hungry even if she did not eat. However, itwas different for Luke.
"Aunt Neile," Johann called out to Aunt Neile, who was heading to the kitchen.
"Yes, Dr. Park? What else can I do for you?" Aunt Neile asked with a smile.
“Luke probably hasn't eaten yet. You should bring him something to eat," Johann reminded her.
"Thank you for your reminder. I've indeed forgotten about it. Can Ms. Craw eat some oats now?" AuntNeile had been occupied and overlooked the matter.
"She's on nutrient injection and doesn't need to eat," Johann said.
"Thank you for the reminder. I'll go have something prepared now." Aunt Neile walked into the kitchen,put the lunch she prepared on the tray in a clean motion, and brought it upstairs.
She knocked on the door.
Luke's voice came from the bedroom. "Come in."
Aunt Neile cautiously opened the door and walked in. "Sir, I brought you some lunch."
Luke did not have an appetite. "I don't want it. Take it out."
"Sir, you'd better have some. It's not good for your health to skip meals. If you don't have the appetite, Ihave some oats here. Would you like to have some?" Aunt Neile was worried about Luke.
Seeing that Aunt Neile was insistent, Luke lifted his chin and said, "Put it there."novelbin
"Okay." Aunt Neile put the tray on the dresser and then tidied up the bedside table a little before sheput the tray on top. She did so so that Luke could eat easily.
She looked at the two's tightly held hands, smiled, turned around, and walked out.
She believed that one could see one's true colors when the person one loved was sick.
When someone was sick, it was clear who would stay by the other's side and who the sick wanted torely on.
After Aunt Neile left, Luke looked at Luca. His gaze softened.
She was still babbling just now, but it was not the same as the babbling when she had a high fever. Hervoice became gentle, and she kept calling his name lingeringly.
"Luke... Luke..."
Hearing her whisper, his stone heart softened.
It brought him back to the time they lived together. She always used various tones to call his name.They were always lovey-dovey with one another no matter the occasion.
Luke brushed Luca's hair with his hand. He did not know when they would be able to return to the dayswhen they could live happily together once more.
Luca was not sure how long she had slept, but it was already dim when she opened her eyes.
She realized that it was the room's lights.
Her bedroom was very well lit. If it was daytime, there was no need to turn on the lights. Hence, sheknew it was already nighttime...
Luca was surprised that she slept through the day after taking some cold and antipyretic medicine.
After a long sleep, her body was a little tired. When she wanted to turn around, she realized that shewas holding a large warm palm.
Luca turned her head and saw Luke.
He was sitting against the head of the bed and looking at her sideways. In the dim lights, she seemedto see the worry and tenderness in his eyes.
"You're awake..." Luke spoke slowly, his voice hoarse. He felt a little helpless when he saw Luca'sconfused gaze. "You slept for the entire day."
"How did I. sleep for so long..." Luca opened her mouth. Her throat hurt a little, and her voice soundeda little hoarse.
Sure enough, after the fever, she had a runny nose and a cough coming her way.
This was an inescapable occurrence.
"The medicine you took didn't reduce your fever, so I asked Johann to give you a fever reducer and anutrient injection. That's why you were able to sleep so well," Luke replied.
Luca gave a hum.
Maybe Aunt Neile saw that her fever did not subside after some time, so she got worried and made upher mind to inform Luke.
She expected Johann's arrival when she notified Luke. Luca connected the dots. Johann's medicineswere strong and could quickly reduce fever, but the side effects of drowsiness were fairly strong aswell.
As such, she was knocked out for the entire day as soon as she fell asleep.
'Did Luke watch over me for the entire day?'
Luca could not believe it, but she did not dare to confirm it with him.
"Are you hungry?" Luke asked. It was ten o'clock at night. Johann waited for a while after she fellasleep and noted that the fever did not reoccur. He then prescribed her some medicine and left.
At that hour, the kids were already asleep.
Luke thought she would not wake up until the next morning, but she woke up earlier than unexpected.
"I'm not particularly hungry, but I want to eat something," Luca said. She did not have anything to eatafter breakfast. Although she was not very hungry, she knew that her body needed nourishment.
Otherwise, the symptoms of nasal congestion, runny nose, and cough would last for several days.
"Aunt Neile made some oats for you before she left. It's still hot. I'll bring you a bowl," Luke said. Hethen pulled out his hand and got out of bed.
