Female Novel
Chapter 1645
[Don't blame yourself. I'm responsible for this too. I was too impulsive back then.] Luca recalled howshe had defended Nina in front of Pierre and argued with him.
Otherwise, Pierre would not have targeted her.
Luke felt even more uncomfortable when Luca did not blame him. Previously, she would think abouthim if anything happened to her, but now, it seemed like she was enduring everything quietly.
He did not even know why she was willing to be manipulated by others.
Did they have something on Luca? Otherwise, how could she be willing to do so?
Luke stared at her deeply. Luca felt uneasy being stared at by him like this.
What was he thinking?
Her eyes met his deep eyes. There was no schemes nor coldness in that pair of eyes. It seemed likethere was only guilt and sorrow in them.
Luca thought she had seen it wrongly. She blinked her eyes. When she wanted to take another goodlook, Luke had already turned around.
His phone rang.
Luca watched him as he answered the call. He only said a few simple words, “Deliver it up here."
After a while, Mrs. Nancy carried a few thermos flasks and food containers into the ward. She wasslightly surprised to see Luca's swollen face.
Luca was gorgeous, but she became like this after getting tortured by the kidnappers. Mrs. Nancy feltuncomfortable looking at her.
"Ms. Craw, good morning." Mrs. Nancy took the initiative to greet her. It was because Luca hadgenerously shared her recipe with her before. Hence, Mrs. Nancy had a good impression of her.
Luke spoke on behalf of her before Luca could type on the phone. "She can't talk now. Pour a bowl ofoatmeal for her."
Mrs. Nancy replied to him and placed the containers and thermos flasks on the coffee table. Then, shepicked up the bowl on the table and entered the bathroom to wash it.
Luke opened a thermos flask and glanced at the oatmeal in it. He said, "It's oatmeal. Are you okay withit?"
Luca made a sign, telling him she was fine with it.
After Mrs. Nancy cleaned the bowl, she walked out of the bathroom and poured Luca a bowl ofoatmeal. When she was about to walk toward her to feed her, Luke said, “Let me do it."
Mrs. Nancy handed the bowl of oatmeal to him.
Luke took it from her, picked up a new straw, and placed it in the oatmeal. "It's better this time.Continue to prepare oatmeal for her in the next few days."
"Yes." Mrs. Nancy watched him carry the bowl of oats and head to Luca's bedside. He sat on the chairand brought the bowl to her mouth habitually. Mrs. Nancy secretly sighed. It had been so long sinceshe saw Young Master Luke being this attentive.
The last time she saw this side of him was before Mrs. Crawford was kidnapped and lost hermemories.
Back then, every time Bianca fell sick, Luke would abandon his work to stay beside Bianca. He wouldtake care of her attentively no matter what the others said. He spoiled Bianca as if she was a princess.
After Bianca lost her memories, though, none of them had never seen Luke being so attentiveanymore.
Now, he was placing his attentiveness on another woman.
Mrs. Nancy shook her head. It seemed like Mrs. Crawford would be losing her status soon.
As she watched Luke feed Luca, she said, “Young Master Luke, I've prepared some fresh milk. Youdidn't eat breakfast before you went out today, so I brought your portion here. Remember to eat yourbreakfast on time."
Luca stopped eating the oatmeal when she heard that Luke had not eaten his breakfast. She typed onher phone: [I can eat this myself. Go ahead and have some oatmeal.]
"Johann said you can't sit up straight yet. Eat it." Luke did not listen to her and continued to bring thestraw to her mouth.
Luca had no choice but to eat the oats helplessly.
As Luke watched her eat the oats, he spoke to Mrs. Nancy, "Go back first. Deliver some more oatshere when it's noontime. Make some soup too. Let her have something different for a change of taste."
"Alright, Young Master Luke," replied Mrs. Nancy. She left the ward after that.
There was only her and Luke in the ward now.
After Luca finished drinking a bowl of oats, Luke asked her in a low voice, "Do you want some more?"
Luca typed on her phone: [No, thank you.]
Luke did not force her to continue eating. He put the bowl aside and said, "I'll find you a caretaker later.
Take your medicine first."
He would be worried if someone else fed Luca her medicine. After all, she could not open her mouthwide now. She needed to be treated gently and attentively.
Usually, she would have to take her medicine within half an hour after her meals. Luca had no idea whyhe was urging her to take her medicine now, but she still agreed.
[Alright.] After she typed on her phone, she watched Luke take out the medicine and sort it outaccording to the doctor's prescription.
Then, he got her a glass of warm water and placed a straw in the glass.
He was attentive...
Luca was moved. She had been having dreams in the past countless nights. She dreamed of Lukebeing attentive to her.
After Luke sorted out the pills, he picked up one of them and brought it to Luca's mouth.
She slightly opened her mouth, trying hard not to move her muscles. However, it still hurt once sheopened her mouth. She endured the pain and swallowed the pills one by one.
As her face was injured, she could not drink some water before taking the pills. Hence, she could tastethe bitterness in her mouth.
Luke seemed to have thought of something and said, “There are no sweets here. I'll get some for youlater downstairs. You'll feel better when you take the pills next time if you have something sweet to suckon later."
[There's no need to, Mr. Crawford. I can take the bitterness.] Luca typed immediately when she heardthat.
Luke frowned. Bianca hated bitter taste the most, but now, she was telling him that she could toleratesuch bitterness.
He wondered how much she had suffered in the three years after she was kidnapped to be able to beso calm today...
Luke suddenly stood up.
Luca was startled by his movement and looked at him with a puzzled look.
Luke felt terrible, and that was why he did that. When he realized his abruptness, he said, "I'll find you acaretaker."
"Mmm." Luke made a sound with her mouth closed.
Luke shot her a glance and left without looking back.
Luca watched Luke leave the ward. She could feel his gentle and thoughtful behavior toward her, butshe could also sense that something was wrong with him.
The guilt and uneasiness in her heart were growing stronger and stronger.
If it had not been for Abel, they would be living a happy life now.
After a while, a middle-aged woman came in and introduced herself happily, "Hello, Ms. Craw. I'm thecaretaker Mr. Crawford hired to take care of you. You may call me May."
Luca typed on her phone. [Hello! I can't talk now. I can only talk to you through my phone.]
May replied immediately after she read it, "Mr. Crawford has explained your condition to me in detail.
Don't worry, I'll take good care of you."
Luca did not say anything more.
May looked at the food containers on the coffee table and the bowl on the bedside cabinet. Sheimmediately got busy tidying up.novelbin
