Chapter 1373 Where Could Her Tattoo Be?
From Luke's expression, Johann could tell what he was thinking.
He rubbed his chin and tried to speak up for Dr. Blake. "Don't be like that. Any head physician in ourhospital has to be a skilled doctor. You can't blame him for what happened to Sis; none of us knewwhat happened, including me. It's only thanks to Dr. Craw that her condition improved, so you shouldn'tthink that Dr. Blake is incapable. Also, your tantrum has scared all the people in the internal medicinedepartment. It took me a lot of effort to convince Dr. Blake to stay on duty tonight."
Head physicians need not take the night shift, but Johann could not trust the other doctors to take careof Tommy. That was why he went to convince Dr. Blake to stay back.
Luke did not say anything. He did not want other doctors to take care of Tommy.
Tommy was Bianca's favorite child. If the real Bianca eventually returned, she would be sad if shefound out that Tommy was ill.
Johann took Luke's silence as consent. He turned his head to look at Luca and asked her, "By the way,Dr. Craw, I've been wondering what happened to Sis last time. What was the problem? I thought thatthe herbal concoction was more of a health supplement, but I didn't expect it to cure her."
"Mrs. Crawford's fever was caused by a hormonal imbalance. She just needs some nourishment," Lucarandomly made up an excuse. Her concoction might look only like a supplement, but every componentserved to counter the pill's effects.
"I see. I'm not very well-versed in naturopathy, but it looks like I have a lot to learn. Sometimes,naturopathic treatments can be more effective than modern medicine,” Johann said and nodded withan ambiguous smile on his face. He looked at the other people in the room; Tommy was focused on
watching his cartoon, while the other people seemed to be concentrated in thought. He did not want todisturb them, so he said goodbye and left the room.
After the cartoon ended, Tommy hugged Luca's arm and said cloyingly, "Ms. Luca, can you stay thenight with me?"
"Stay the night with you?" Luca said awkwardly. There were only two other beds for visitors in theroom. One was for Luke, and the other was for the caretaker.
Tommy nodded and shifted away slightly on his butt. "My bed is big enough for the two of us. Daddy istoo tall to sleep here, and I'd be scared if I'm sleeping alone."
Luca's conviction wavered when she heard that.
She genuinely wanted to stay the night and take care of Tommy in case his fever returned in the middleof the night.
However, Luke was also in the same room...
At that moment, the nurse came in and said, "It's time to
take your temperature, Tommy."
Tommy turned his head to look at the nurse and nodded.
The nurse took Tommy's temperature and frowned when she read the results. "99.5 degrees. It's still alittle high."
When Luca heard that, she touched Tommy's forehead with her hand. It was indeed a little warm.
"I'll come back in ten minutes to take his temperature again. Please ring the bell if his temperatureincreases suddenly," the nurse said.
Luca became more anxious about Tommy's condition when she heard that. She looked at Tommy andnodded. "Alright, I'll stay here with you tonight. Please get well soon, okay?"
"Yes, Ms. Luca. With you here with me, I'll be well again in no time!" Tommy grinned happily as thoughhe was unconcerned about the rise in body temperature.
Luca helped Tommy lie down on the bed, then looked at Luke, who had already retreated to the couch.
She pressed her lips but eventually decided to lie down on the bed. She gently patted Tommy's back.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Luca saw that it was a message from Amur, so she immediately read it.
Amur said that he had gone through the immigration records of A City International Airport. Luca didnot leave the country, inovelbin
In other words, Luke had lied about Bianca going on an overseastrip.
Luca replied: [OK. Got it. I'll talk to you when I come home tomorrow.]
Soon, she received a reply from Amur: [Aren't you coming home tonight?]
Luca explained: [I'm not coming home. Tommy's condition is unpredictable, so I'd like to stay the nightwith him. I'll go home after I receive the bacteria culture test tomorrow.]
Amur quickly replied: [Alright. Take care at the hospital.]
Luca put the phone away and continued to gently pat Tommy's back.
Ten minutes later, the nurse returned to take Tommy's temperature. Tommy was falling asleep by then.
The nurse looked at the thermometer and said softly, "99.7 degrees. We'll have to keep a close eye onhim."
The doctor would not prescribe any medicine for a mild fever like that. Too much medicine was notgood for a young child.
Luca nodded and continued to pat Tommy's back.
She knew that the child was very sensitive, and he would complain at the slightest bit of illness. Eventhough Tommy was having a mild fever now, he huddled in Luca's arms quietly.
Luke, sitting on the couch, was thinking about something as he looked at Luca's back.
Everyone from the Island of Despair had a tattoo somewhere on their body. For example, the impostorBianca's tattoo was on her back. It would not be easily discovered if she had her clothes on.
Could Luca be from the Island of Despair too?
Luke could not figure that out. If Luca were really from the Island of Despair, where could her tattoo be?
He thought hard about how to verify Luca's identity. It would be hard to attempt to find a tattoo on herbody.
He was not going to tell her to take off her clothes!
Luke remembered the incident at the welcome party. That could have been the perfect opportunity, butat the most crucial moment, he thought of Bianca.
He began to regret why he had held back. If he had followed his instincts, he would definitely havebeen able to find the tattoo on her body...
Luca could sense that the man behind her was looking at her. She did not turn around or do anything.Instead, she sat there and allowed Tommy to cuddle her.
Soon, Tommy’s breathing became even. He had fallen asleep.
Luca wanted to pull her hand away so that she could lay Tommy on the bed. Luke staring at her madeher feel uneasy.
She had only pulled her hand free when Tommy grabbed her arm again, as though he did not want herto leave.
