Chapter 2979
On the other hand, after Luke left the villa, he did not immediately head to the company but went to thehospital instead.
He dismissed Mrs. Lane and also the Norman family's maid, allowing Wanda to enter Queenie's ward.
When the two women who were both concerned about Luca met, they did not show much joy. Both oftheir faces wore the same gloom.
"Luke, do you have some good news seeing as you gathered us here like this?" Queenie asked first,hoping to hear positive news about Luca from Luke.
Luke shook his head and placed two thermal lunch boxes on the coffee table. "Luca made theseburgers. They taste good, so I brought them here for you to try."
Queenie had lost her appetite because of Luca’s matter. The maid tried to convince her to eat.However, she just could not stomach the food at the thought of what Luca had been through and howshe still refused to acknowledge her true identity.
However, her eyes lit up when she heard that it was Luca who made the food.
"Bianca’s homemade burgers were my favorites. They're really good. After I had her burgers, I couldn'tenjoy any from outside because none were as good as hers.” Wanda let out a soft sigh.
"She'll have plenty of opportunities to make burgers for you in the future,” replied Luke. He opened thelunch boxes when he saw neither of them making a move.
The delightful aroma of the burgers wafted through the air and filled the ward.
Queenie picked up the burger first and said, "I haven't had Bianca’s homemade burgers yet."
Wanda also picked up the other portion and slightly dunked it into the chowder that was packedseparately. She waited for a moment.
After the burger absorbed some of the chowder, she took a sip of it and then frowned. "This isn’tBianca’s chowder."
Luke smiled. Even though Wanda had no blood relation to Luca, she knew her well enough afterhaving lived with her for more than ten years.
He nodded and said, "The chowder was prepared by Aunt Neile, but Luca seasoned the burgerpatties."
Wanda immediately picked up the burger and put it in her mouth.
As she took the first bite, the sweet taste of the patty invaded her taste buds right away. "Yes, Biancaseasoned it. I remember the taste."
"It's good," said Queenie, understanding why Wanda praised it earlier.
The taste of the burger patty was excellent. Even though Queenie had eaten burgers from manyrenowned places in her life, none were as delicious as the one before her now.
Even though she was praising her own daughter, Queenie felt that she would not mind eating Luca'sburgers every day if she had to.
"I came here today to deliver the burgers Luca made for the two of you. Secondly, there's something I'dlike to discuss with you two. I think putting more pressure on Luca might make her reveal everything."
Luke looked at the two elders in front of him. He needed their cooperation to make Luca speak thetruth.
Even though she had come back with a different identity, he could tell that her heart had not changed.
She still cared about those who loved and cared for her. She would not want to see them suffer.
Queenie and Wanda exchanged glances with each other. Their gazes simultaneously landed on Luke."Tell us, what should we do?"
Luke briefed them on a few things.
In the afternoon, when Luca finished work, she received a call from Johann.
"Dr. Craw, do you have a moment?" Johann's tone sounded urgent.
"I just got off work. What happened?" Luca vaguely felt that something was wrong. Otherwise, Johannwould not be speaking like that.
"It's Mrs. Norman. Although her blood pressure has been relatively high these days, it wasmanageable. But her blood pressure has been at an all-time high after Luke came to the hospital today.
"I've tried various methods to stabilize it, including dry needling, but nothing worked. Can you come tothe hospital? Perhaps only your dry needling technique can help her," Johann hurriedly explained. Itwas Luke who made him say that.
He was even using the script he provided.
"How could this happen?!" Luca's face turned pale when she heard that.
"I'm afraid it may cause other reactions in Mrs. Norman's body if this continues. Dr. Craw, if you don'tcome, there really is no other solution. I'm a surgeon. Do I really have to wait until there are problemswith her organs before taking action?
"Cardiovascular issues can't be ignored," added Johann, trying to emphasize the urgency.
He had added his own lines. After all, he was more specialized in medical matters than Luke.
All he needed to do was make Luca believe that Queenie's situation was really dire. If she did not cometo the hospital and take care of things, there was a chance Queenie might not make it.
"I'm leaving right now. Please help me stabilize her condition and prepare a new set of needles." Lucathought to herself that things could not continue like this.
Regardless of anything else, Queenie must be kept safe.
It was already regrettable that she could not do her duty as a daughter. If anything happened toQueenie because of her, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I don't dare to administer medication to her now. Otherwise, we won't be able toknow if your dry needling technique is effective later. You need to come as soon as possible no matterwhat," said Johann. Then, he hung up the call.
Right before he hung up, Luca seemed to hear someone around him shout, "Oh no, Dr. Park. Thepatient's condition is taking a turn for the worse. You need to get in there and take a look, stat!"
Luca was alarmed. Although the person did not specify who the patient was, Johann should be treatingQueenie now. Hence, the patient mentioned here should be Queenie.
Luca took off her lab coat, grabbed her briefcase and coat without bothering to tidy up her things, andquickly ran out of the office.
"Dr. Craw?" Mo Stone was surprised when she saw Luca was running out of the office.
Luca had no time for other people's greetings at the moment. She ran straight to the elevator andpressed the button to go downstairs.
However, many people were leaving the company due to the rush hour, and the elevator was movingslowly.
As Luca watched the numbers that slowly went up as the elevator rose, she hurriedly turned andwalked toward the stairwell. She figured that the elevator would stop on every floor later.
Mo Stone frowned. What could have happened?
Luca seemed anxious. She did not even clock out...
Mo Stone wished she knew what was going on. Perhaps she could help, and she might have a betterchance of joining Luca's team then.
However, Mo Stone could only think about it because Luca had already left in a hurry and was nowherein sight.
Mo Stone did not think she could catch up to Luca to find out what had happened.
While Luca made her way down the stairs, she called Warren. She instructed him to get the car readyas she needed to go to the hospital.
Warren assured her that he was already waiting in the parking lot and could leave at any moment.
After hanging up the call, Luca checked her surroundings and saw no one around. With a quick pace,she clasped the handrail and gracefully vaulted over it.
It was a dangerous move for others.novelbin
However, having come out of the Island of Despair, such maneuvers were basic for her. There was nodifficulty at all. It did not even pose any danger to her, and she did not need to make her way down thestairs step by step. It could save her a lot of time.
Little did she know, as she hurried down the stairs, every move she made was being observed by asecurity guard in the monitoring room.
