Female Novel
Chapter 1530
This incident was the staff member’s fault, and the manager knew that they were in the wrong. He saidwith a smile, “Villa Almira takes protective measures as such seriously. These stones are an accident.Don’t worry, I’ve already got someone to go down with food and water. They’ll look for Mr. Crawfordand the others starting from the fork in the road.”
Jason showed no reaction toward the arrangement, and the manager was stumped.
The manager could only urge the porters to move faster when he saw Jason’s temperamental reaction.
An hour later, the stones on the mountain road were cleared. Jason looked at the figures in thedistance and hurriedly ran down. “Boss.”
When he got closer, he realized that Luke was carrying Luca.
“Dr. Craw, are you alright?” Jason asked with concern. He knew that the situation was bad and Tinawas in big trouble.
“I’m fine,” Luca said. She would not have to be carried by Luke if he had not realized that her waist wasstill hurting.
Jason did not know when Luke had started carrying Luca on his back, but he knew that it was tiring tocarry someone up the hill. He quickly said, “Boss, why don’t you let me take over? I’ll carry Dr. Craw onmy back.”
He had no other intentions than to ease Luke’s burden.
Luke glanced at him and replied coldly, “No need.”
With that said, Luke kept going.
When they got to the top of the mountain, Tina saw them and knew that the idea she proposed hadcaused this trouble. She immediately apologized. “Boss, Dr. Craw, I’m sorry. I didn’t know things wouldturn out like this…”
Luca noticed the guilt in Tina’s face. Indeed, if she had not suggested taking two separate paths, shemight not have gotten hurt and she would not have been stuck on the mountain for a night.novelbin
However, the decision to divert from the original mountain path was not made by Luke alone. She hadagreed to it as well…
Even though she got injured and was shivering cold and starving last night, it had given her the chanceto feel Luke’s body temperature again.
Although he was not too warm, his body temperature was enough for her.
Luca shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
Tina still felt guilty and blamed herself. After she saw Luke put Luca down, she immediately steppedforward to help.
“Take the cable car down the mountain and send her to the hospital for a check-up,” Luke immediatelyordered them.
The manager did not dare to delay for another second. After all, Luca had an accident in Villa Almira. IfLuke wanted to make a big fuss, Villa Almira would be the party to suffer. He agreed immediately andarranged for them to go down the mountain by cable car.
Under the manager’s arrangement, the ambulance had already arrived and was waiting at the foot ofthe mountain.
Just as Luca stepped out of the cable car, she was carried into an ambulance.
Tina looked at Luke and said, “Boss, I want to tag along with the ambulance and take care of Dr. Craw.”
She was the one who came up with the idea, so she would take full responsibility for what hadhappened.
Luke nodded and Tina left with the ambulance.
Several of T Corporation’s employees started gossiping when they saw this.
Luke glanced at the employees and left on a sightseeing car. Instead of following Luca to the hospital,he chose to return to the hotel.
Even so, it still led to a mountain of gossip.
After all, Luca and Luke had spent the night together in the mountains.
Jenni listened to the gossip and felt furious. She immediately took out her phone and texted Tia. Shetold her everything that had happened in the past two days.
She had gotten closer to Tia but she did not consider her a friend.
After all, the other party did not regard her as a friend either and just wanted to use her to find out moreabout Luke.
Tia and Jenni both liked Luke, so Jenni shared the information that she deemed fit.
She did not want to tell Tia everything that had happened yesterday as she did not want to be harassedby Tia and have her ruin her vacation. However, she could not hold back the jealousy she felt in herheart when she thought of how the two had spent a night in the deep mountains. She even heard fromthe staff that Luke had carried Luca up the mountain. She ended up telling Tia everything.
She worked for T Corporation but she was not Luca’s boss, so there was nothing she could do.
She left it to Tia to deal with Luca.
“Ms. Lynn, what’s the matter with you? Why do you look so mad?” Zoey was a little slow and did notknow about Jenni’s intense feelings for Luke.
She knew that Jenni was interested in Luke but what she did not expect was that her feelings for himwere so strong.
Jenni snapped out of it and subconsciously held her phone tighter. She did not want Zoey to see hertexts to Tia.
“It’s nothing. I just envy Dr. Craw for being able to get the boss’ attention,” she smiled and said.
Zoey felt weird when she heard Jenni’s reply. Then, she thought about it. Many people in the companyadored Luke, but Jenni did not seem that keen on the surface. She thought that Jenni probably enviedLuca for having the opportunity to be alone with Luke.
‘Them spending a night alone doesn’t mean anything, right?’
The entire T Corporation and A City knew that their boss had a soft spot for Bianca.
Although time could change certain things, at least until now, she had never seen Luke so eagertoward anyone.
“Dr. Craw is injured. The boss is just making sure that his employees are taken care of.” Zoeycomforted her.
Zoey knew that Jenni was jealous but she still had to say something to appease her no matter whatshe thought of the situation.
Jenni snorted coldly and walked toward the hotel.
On the other hand.
Luca was taken to the hospital by ambulance. After taking a CT scan and DR, the doctor confirmed thatthere was no bone fracture. Her muscles were injured but they would heal after a few days of rest.
As soon as Tina heard that Luca had no major issues, her uneasy mood finally relaxed a little.
She left and returned with the medicine. She helped Luca walk out of the hospital. “Dr. Craw, I’m gladthat you’re alright. Otherwise, I’d have died of guilt.”
“This isn’t your fault,” Luca said.
Tina knew that Luca was just being nice. She was relieved that Luca was not pursuing the matterfurther. She hurriedly stopped a taxi and they went back to the hotel together.
After they got in the car, Tina updated Jason about Luca’s condition.
After Jason received Tina’s text, he immediately reported the situation to Luke and told him that Luca’sinjury was not that serious.
Luke sat there and looked at his laptop screen. He kept silent.
Jason thought he was distracted and did not hear him, so he called out to Luke again, “Boss?”
“I heard you.” Luke’s eyes still did not shift from the computer screen.
Jason glanced at the computer screen. It was an old photo of Bianca. Considering Luke’s reaction, heknew that Luke was thinking of her again…
He shook his head and walked out quietly.
He knew that it was best to give Luke some space.
He counted and it had been three years since Bianca was kidnapped and she disappeared. He was notconfident that they could find her. Even if they did, she might have been tortured and lost her sense ofself…
