Chapter 2599
"Nothing." As he approached her, Luca could not help but take two steps back.
Luke took another step forward and narrowed the distance between them.
Luca could not resist the charm he exuded, so she could only blush and slowly lower her head. Shemight be unable to control herself if she continued looking at him.
The two walked one after another into the bedroom.
Luke stepped forward to hug her, his magnetic hoarse voice whispering in her ear, "If I didn't have animportant meeting later, I'd definitely help you shower."
"Huh?" Luca blinked and looked at his white shirt. 'He wasn't thinking what I thought he was?
'I misunderstood the situation!'
Luca's face turned even redder. All she thought about just now was something that would beinappropriate for children...
Clearly, Luke knew what she was thinking about.
Luke noticed that her cheeks were getting redder, and all he wanted was to kiss her.
However, he knew that if he kissed her, he would not be able to attend the meeting later. He could onlyhold back. He smiled as he pulled out the plastic wrap she was holding and played with it. "I'll help youbandage it up."
Luca's face was so red as if it were bleeding. She nodded slowly and raised her right hand.
Luke opened the plastic wrap and carefully wrapped it for her. "You thought that I was going to help youtake a shower?"
"No!" Luca's denial was forceful. It seemed that she was hiding something.novelbin
"Mm, no." Luke went with her, his tone full of teasing.
His movements were meticulous as he carefully wrapped her hands with the plastic wrap, leaving nogaps, lest the water wet the gauze and cause the wound to become infected.
"Bring your phone into the bedroom later and call me if there's anything you need." He urged.
"Okay..." Luca answered with a voice as soft as a mosquito. She thought of how she was teased andcould not even think of the words to refute it. Her mind went blank.
Luke knew her well.
"If you need help, make sure you call me. Don't be stubborn. It'll be more troublesome to go to thehospital if something happens." Luke did not think that she was troublesome. He just hoped that shewould not be afraid to trouble him.
"Mm, I know." Luca looked at her hands which were tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. 'He's so thoughtful.'
In the naked eye, there was no gap to allow the water to penetrate.
However, he used up most of the plastic wrap.
She hoped that the stitches on her hand could be removed as soon as possible so it would not be sotroublesome moving forward.
Luke left the plastic wrap casually on the dresser because she would still need it when she showered.
He said, "Go take a shower first. I have to attend a meeting."
After he said that, he strode out of the bedroom.
He closed the door of the master bedroom, sighed, and complained about the time difference in hisheart.
Luca would be lying in his arms if it were not for the fact that he could not afford to be absent from thismeeting or push it back.
Luke complained in his heart as he walked into the opposite bedroom. Nonetheless, he still connectedto the overseas call, adjusted his mood within a few seconds, and started the meeting.
On the other hand...
Luca did not have much concern when she showered because of the plastic wrap. After she was done,she put on a fresh set of pajamas before she removed the plastic wrap.
More than half of the long roll of plastic wrap had been used. After she took it apart, the gauze had notgotten wet and was still bone dry.
Luca sat in front of the dresser and glanced at the door. She pursed her lips and took off the gauze withone hand.
Although Johann had helped to sterilize her wound, stitch her up, and wrap the gauze in the hospital, itwas not enough.
She had to apply the medicine herself if she wanted the wound to heal quickly.
Luca sighed after she took off the gauze and looked at the stitched wound. She sighed. She knew thatthe wound would not leave scars. She sighed because Jack and Queenie were still lying in the hospital.
She took out a small medicine bottle from the drawer and sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound.It was a new wound, so she could only use her hands to make sure the medicine powder was applieduniformly before she put on a new gauze.
Her dressing method was different from Johann's. She was one-handed, so her dressing was a bitsloppy but at least it was done.
Luca glanced at the time. It had long passed the hospital's visiting hours.
Nonetheless, she could not help but send a message to the Norman family's maid to check in on Jackand Queenie.
The maid quickly replied to her and told her that after they left, Jack and Queenie woke up again. Theywere awake for a longer time, and the couple also chatted a little before they fell asleep again underthe influence of the drugs.
Luca was relieved to know that Jack and Queenie had woken up.
She stood up and opened the bedroom door to find that the door on the opposite side was shut.
Luca knew he was in a meeting and closed the door because he was worried that the sound of hisconversation would disturb the children resting.
She walked to Tommy's bedroom, opened the door gently, and made sure that Tommy had fallenasleep and covered himself with the blanket before she closed the door and went to Rainie's bedroom.
Rainie was asleep too and had tucked herself in tightly.
Luca closed the door and went to Lanie's bedroom. She opened the door and found that Lanie hadturned on the reading lamp on the bedside and was reading.
"Lanie, it's getting late. Stop reading." Luca walked in and reminded him gently.
Lanie looked up at her and said, "Ms. Luca, I can't sleep..."
"Why can't you fall asleep?" Luca frowned as Lanie never had sleep problems.
Lanie put down the book and talked about what was on his mind, "I'm thinking about the start of schooltomorrow."
"Mm, what are you thinking about?" Luca stepped forward and sat beside the bed. She noticed that thebook he was reading was a children's book about medical knowledge.
He seemed to be particularly interested in medical books.
‘Will he take this path in the future?'
She would not object to him going on this route. However, Luke was thinking of handing over TCorporation to them after the kids graduated.
If Lanie did study medicine, Luke would have to wait several years before he could retire.
Luca had mixed feelings when she thought of the future because she did not know if she would have achance to be there for it.
"I understand all the knowledge taught by the teachers in the school, so I find the classes quite boring. Iwant to read books of higher grades, but some teachers will scold me when they find out. However, Ialready know everything that they're teaching me. I only need to read the book once and I'll alreadyunderstand it..."
Lanie expressed the troubles he faced.
He knew early on that he was different from other kids his age.
They would sometimes have to learn something for a long time, but he could understand it just byreading a book.
This was all thanks to the extracurricular tutor that Luke hired for him and Rainie when they wereyounger. Although that teacher no longer tutored them, Lanie had formed a set of his own learningsystem early on thanks to the teacher. He could instantly understand a lot through this personalizedsystem of his.
Therefore, what the teachers in school were teaching him now was too simple for him.
