Chapter 2584
Luke hurried over, and before she could speak, he picked up her bandaged hand and had a look.
Luca blushed.
Luke's outstanding appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Mr. Crawford, let's go over there..." Luca pointed to a corner where no one was around.
Luke took her hand and walked over with a stern expression on his face.
"Does it hurt?" They stood in the corner. He did not look too good as he looked at her hand that wastightly bound by gauze.
"It doesn't hurt anymore," Luca said. Johann's stitching skills were top-notch. There was almost noblood oozing out after the sutures.
"You took too big of a risk." Luke frowned. Rain had already told him about what happened on thephone.
She used herself as bait to keep Jack and Queenie safe.
"In that situation, I had no other choice. They were coming for me. If something were to wrong with Mr.and Mrs. Norman, I'd..." Luca paused and did not continue to speak.
She thought that it was her fault for putting her parents in danger.
If she had not stepped forward, she would likely have felt guilty for a lifetime.
"Regardless, you shouldn't have held the dagger with your hand." Luke frowned and felt sorry that shegot injured.
He did not expect that the trespassers would enter Norman Residence without triggering the alarm. Hedid not know how they did it.
He had hired someone to upgrade Norman Residence's alarm system a few years ago. The alarmwould be triggered whenever someone forcefully unlocked the lock or if the fingerprint lock was enteredincorrectly three times.
However, Rain and the others did not hear the alarm when they were waiting outside.
It seemed that Leia was the most suspicious out of the bunch.
It was also possible that the group of people decided to make a move on the Norman Residence a longtime ago.
"As you said, I couldn't put myself in such passive danger, so this was the best way." Luca glanced ather gauze-wrapped hand. It did not matter if she was a little injured as long as she could save Queenie.It would have been better not to put her in that kind of danger in the first place.
Luke kept silent.
He did say that, but at the time, he did not expect Luca to do such a thing.
When she saw his gloomy expression, Luca pretended to be relaxed and said, "Everything is fine now.Rain and the others quickly controlled the situation. I'm just a little injured. The stitches can be removedin seven days."
"It's still going to take seven days," Luke said. "Be mentally prepared. In the coming week, there'll besomeone taking care of you."
He knew that Luca did not like being taken care of by others.
However, she only had one good hand now. Since her right hand was injured, she would need somehelp.
As such, it was destined that someone would have to take care of her...
Luca was speechless. She thought that she should have held the blade with her left hand. Maybe itwould have been more convenient...
"When the time comes, I'll have Crawford Manor send a maid over," Luke said. After two seconds, headded, "She'll focus on taking care of you."
"Mr. Crawford, I still have one hand that I can use..." Luca shook her left hand.
"I'll be busy during this time and won't be able to help you with many things. Do you want the threechildren to help you?" Luke asked.
It was all hands on deck in T Corporation.
The bidding for the government project was ready to start, so the whole company was occupied. Hewanted to spend all his time in the office to make sure that he won the project.
'Have the kids take care of me.'
Luca shook his head and said, "I prefer having the maid."novelbin
"Come on, let's go to the ward." Luke took her left hand and walked toward the inpatient department.
"Okay." Luca nodded.
"There are police over there in the ward. They'll likely record a statement. You just need to tell themwhat you saw," Luke added.
"Should I tell them about Leia's reaction? Do you want me to tell them?" Luca did not know whether totell the police about Leia's reaction.
"There's no need for the time being. I'm certain the police will investigate further. Rain asked them tomake a copy of the villa's surveillance footage, so if there's a problem, it won't be too late to deal withLeia then," Luke said.
Leia claimed that she was a victim. Although they knew that she was a suspect, the police would not doanything without evidence.
Moreover, Leia would also be making a statement, and she would definitely position it in her favor.
Luke did not need Luca to tell the police what they suspected of Leia. He would investigate it secretly.
"Okay, I got it." Luca believed he could handle it.
Moreover, Leia refused to admit anything when she was at the scene. She had likely taken actions tocover her grounds, so even if the police investigated, they would not suspect her.
Luke took Luca's hand, and they stepped into the elevator.
There were many people in the hospital, but there were no people in the elevator just after they got in.
It was only after they stepped in that the crowd flooded in.
Luke and Luca were cornered.
"Mm..." The person next to Luca accidentally touched her right hand, and she could not help but groanin pain.
Luke heard it and reminded the person next to her, "Be careful."
The man next to her noticed that Luca's hand was injured and knew that he was in the wrong, so heapologized quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it. I hope I didn't hurt you."
Luca shook her head and responded, "It's fine."
Luke did not speak anymore. There were not many occasions like this that he would speak to astranger in such a tone.
She was his only exception.
Luke picked up her hand and put it on his chest. He then reached out his hand and shielded her as shestood in the corner of the elevator.
His strong arms encircled a protective space for her.
The distance between the two was very close, and despite the noise of the surrounding people, Lucaseems to be able to hear his strong heartbeat as well as his breath. The temperature between the twowas rising.
The elevator was going higher and higher, so more and more people got in. Eventually, there was morespace in the elevator.
Only then did Luke drop his arm.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief. She felt like she could choke at any moment if he kept getting so close.
"Does your hand hurt? Let me see if the wound is open," Luke asked and was about to pick up herhand to check for bleeding.
Luca shook her head slightly and pulled out her hand at the same time. "It doesn't hurt. The cut isn't toodeep, so the stitches wouldn't break so easily."
After a quick inspection, he found that her gauze was still white. He was relieved when it seemed thatthere was no cracking and bleeding.
The elevator reached the top floor, and the two walked out of the elevator together.
The nurses in the VIP ward knew Luke and Luca, so they walked to the corridor without a hitch.
Two policemen were standing at the door of one of the wards. Luca guessed it was Jack's andQueenie's ward.
They walked over together.
"You can go to visit Mr. and Mrs. Norman while I'll record a statement," Luca said to Luke, who wasbeside her.
"Okay." Luke opened the door and walked in.
Luca said to the two police officers, "I'm Luca, a witness and a victim."
"Ms. Craw, please go to the nurse's lounge with us to record your statement," the police officer said.
