Chapter 1517
Luca stood beside the pool and casually did some stretching.
Jason saw that they were almost done warming up and said, “Ready, set, go!”
The few of them jumped into the water.
Luca was no exception. She did the right posture and jumped right into the water.
Everyone on the team was trying their best to swim as fast as they could to win the prize and leave agood impression in front of Luke.
Luca wanted to relax, but the thought of Luke watching her came across her mind. She pursed her lipsand held her breath to keep swimming.
Jason was watching the situation in the swimming pool. Everyone was fiercely competitive except forLuca…
Her swimming posture was way too special. It was indescribable, and she was far behind from theothers.
When Luca was swimming forward, she could hear loud cheers and claps at the same time.
Some of them were cheering for her.
However, she was unable to chase after the rest. She felt like she had been swimming for a decadealthough it was only 50 meters.
Finally, she reached the other end. She was thinking of making a tumble turn with her legs so that shecould flip over. However, her leg cramped the moment she exerted her strength.
She realized her leg was cramping. She got nervous and flapped on the water’s surface.
The people above the pool were indifferent as they thought that it was because of her improperswimming posture.novelbin
Tina was the only one who noticed something was wrong. “Mr. Doyle, is Dr. Craw drowning?”
Jason looked up. “It does seem like it…”
The moment he finished talking, Luke, who was behind him, quickly ran past him and jumped into thewater.
“Boss…” Jason watched as Luke swam in Luca’s direction. Looking at how nervous he was, it seemedlike Luca meant a lot to him in his heart.
Tina picked up the sunglasses that had fallen on the floor. Luke swam so quickly that he strong armand carried her from behind. Half of her body was above the water.
Luca could not be bothered about the identity of the person rescuing her. The moment her body brokepast the water’s surface, her throat felt so uncomfortable. She opened her mouth to breathe but endedup coughing.
Luke carried Luca and swam to the side of the pool.
When Jason and Tina snapped back to their senses, they ran to the opposite end of the pool. WhenLuke lifted Luca, both of them worked together to help her out of the pool. Then, Luke got out of thepool too.
Luca kept choking on a few mouthfuls of water. Her face was pale white when she got out of the pool.She lay down on the ground, and her leg was still twitching.
“It’s a cramp.” Tina noticed that and put down the things that she was holding to massage Luca’s leg.
Some employees who came to watch surrounded them. Luke pulled a long face and took the UV-protection clothing to cover Luca’s body.
“Disperse,” he ordered with a cold voice.
The people who wanted to watch the scene backed away when they heard his cold word.
Luca’s leg was fine after Tina helped her massage it. However, her face was so pale that it made herworried. She looked at Luke and asked, “Boss, why don’t we send Dr. Craw to the hospital?”
They were in the suburban area of B City, which was quite a distance from the city center. It might takea while to send her to the hospital…
However, seeing Luca like this …
Before Luke made the decision, someone shouted, “The doctor is here.”
The mountain villa had a doctor on 24-hour duty since it was located far away from the hospital.
While they flustered amidst the chaos, the staff in the mountain villa had already informed the doctor tocome here.
The doctor hurried over and shouted, “Who’s the patient?”
“Here!” Jason waved hurriedly. The doctor came over and did a check-up on Luca.
“How is she doing?” Luke asked, not bothered about how drenched he was. His clothes were stickingto his body.
“She just choked. There’s nothing wrong with her. She’ll be fine after taking a day’s rest. There’s noneed to send her to the hospital,” the doctor replied after he checked on her.
Luke shot a glance at Luca. She had already closed her eyes and was ignoring everyone who wastalking to her.
She did not struggle in the water for too long. She was rescued at once, so she should be fine.
“Doc, look at her leg. It seemed to be cramping just now,” said Tina.
The doctor did a further check on Luca but everything seemed fine. He then looked around and sawthat everyone was in swimwear. He kindly reminded them. “Remember to do some warm-up exercisesbefore swimming. Don’t just jump into the water.”
Even though Luca had her eyes closed, she heard the doctor’s advice. She was just reluctant to speak.
She did not know why her leg started cramping all of a sudden, leading to such an awkward situation.
“Got it,” a few of them answered.
Luca was still lying on the ground after the doctor left. Tina glanced at her and wondered carry Lucaback. The next second, Luke was already carrying her in his arms.
“Boss…” Even though Tina had seen such scenes before, she could not help but cry out in surprise thistime.
Luke did not look back. He left the swimming pool with Luca in his arms.
Although Jason was surprised to see such a scene, his reaction was much better than Tina’s. “Aren’tyou going to follow?”
Luca was soaking wet, and she would need to change her clothes later. Tina did not get it till just thissecond. She quickly left the swimming pool as well.
Zoey watched their boss leave as she stood by the pool. She could not help but exclaim, “How manlyour boss is! Look at how he lifted Dr. Craw so easily.”
There was a burning fire of jealousy in her heart. Luke actually carried Luca in his arms in front ofeveryone…
She had no idea how Luca got to be so lucky to be able to hook up with Luke Crawford.
She would have pretended to drown if she knew Luke would carry her in his arms. After all, it hadlooked fake when Luca was drowning.
Otherwise, how could they not have noticed it first?
“Such dirty tricks!” Jenni was unconvinced.
Zoey was puzzled when she heard her. “Ms. Lynn, what are you talking about?”
“I’m just wondering if Dr. Craw was really drowning just now. It didn’t seem like it to me…” Jenni quicklyconcealed her jealousy for Luca.
Zoey recalled what had happened back then. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know. But Dr.Craw’s face was pale white when she was being rescued. It seemed like she was really drowning.”
Jenni shot her a glance and sighed. “Never mind, you’re still too young for that.”
After Tina caught up with Luke, she dared not speak when she looked at his gloomy side profile. Shefollowed him into the elevator.
Even if Luca did not open her eyes, she knew Luke was carrying her in his arms. It was bumpy all theway there. She felt uncomfortable, and her stomach was churning. She might as well close her eyeswithout saying anything and just let him carry her.
She could feel her leg aching a little after the cramp. She felt that something was very wrong with her.
Luca swore that if she knew there was a chance she might drown, she would never have gotten intothe water…
Luke carried her in when they reached her room. Tina stopped him when he was about to lay her downon the bed. “Boss, it’d be better if you leave her in the bathtub. Dr. Craw is soaking wet now. I’ll helpher get changed and dry her hair. You can lay her down on the bed after that.”
