Female Novel
Chapter 1653
After half an hour, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Although Luca had fallen asleep, she still woke up vigilantly when she heard the sound of the dooropening.
She opened her eyes and saw Luke standing at the head of the bed.
"Mr. Crawford..." Luca's voice was blurry and confused. She wondered why Luke was there at thishour.
Luke looked at the notebook she put on the bedside table. The folder next to it had T Corporation'slogo on it. He picked it up to have a look. "What's this?”
"Document to be translated," Luca answered honestly. She looked at the man and kept wondering whyhe was there.
Even if he had not slept, he should be busy working in Crawford Manor.
Crawford Manor was a long way from the hospital.
Luke glanced at the content and knew that this was the task he gave Jason.
The company's Russian translator was still on vacation, so Jason was the only one who could take onthe task. After all, he had some basic skills. Luke did not expect that he would pass the work to Luca.
Luke was silent as he held onto the document. Luca watched him and sat up.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
As soon as Luke arrived, Luca could not fall back asleep even if she was sleepy. She explained, "I'll getup and translate it..."
Luke's gaze deepened. He looked at her and said in a commanding tone, "Lie down."
"Huh?" Luca leaned back halfway. She was not sure whether to move up or down. She felt awkward.
Luke picked up the remaining documents and laptop. He said, "You don't have to do this. Go back tosleep."
Luca kept silent when she saw that he seemed to want to take over the task.
His Russian was much better than hers, so it would not take him much time to translate these pages.However, since the usual translator was on vacation, he entrusted the matter to his subordinatesinstead of doing it himself.
That meant that he had a lot of work at hand and could not spare any time to handle this task.
With the documents in his hands, Luke sat on the sofa and opened the laptop. He noticed that Luca didnot turn it off and the translated text happened to be on display.
He continued to work on it.
Luca saw him sitting on the sofa working without saying a word. She slowly lay down.
There was some distance between the sofa and the bed but she could see Luke clearly. Luke wasdoing his work attentively, and she could not take her eyes off him.
Luke did not look up but he knew that Luca was looking at him. His slender fingers were tapping on thekeyboard as he said, "Go to sleep."
As his voice graced her ears, Luca closed her eyes subconsciously.
The medicine kicked in and she felt sleepy again. However, she could not fall asleep while the manwas still in the ward.
Luca thought to herself that even if she closed her eyes, she would not be able to sleep until he left.
However, the sound of Luke tapping on the keyboard was like a series of rhythmic notes. She listenedto it and slowly fell asleep.
When he heard Luca's even breathing, Luke stopped typing on the keyboard and stood up whileholding the laptop.
At that time, May had woken up long ago and saw Luke walking toward the door of the ward. She wasnot sure why, so she followed after him to take a look.
Luke sat on the bench by the door of the ward and continued to type on the keyboard.
May watched and suddenly realized that Luke was worried that the sound of typing would disturb Luca,so he went to work outside.novelbin
She glanced at Luca who was asleep and slowly closed the door. She switched off the lights in theward. She left a small night light at the door, then walked back to the bed and lay down.
An hour later, Luke had all the documents translated. He knew that Luca was a light sleeper, so hemade sure to walk lightly.
May sat up.
Luke put his index finger to his mouth to motion her not to speak. He did not want anyone to disturb thewoman resting on the bed.
May nodded.
Luke put the documents and laptop by the bedside table. He then stood there and looked at Luca.
In any case, he would find out about the forces that were controlling her.
He swore that he would get all those who had hurt her.
Luke stood there and stared at Luca for three minutes before he turned around and left.
The door to the ward was closed again. Luca opened her eyes and looked at the dimly lit ceiling. Sheknew exactly when Luke came in.
She did not open her eyes because she did not know how to face him.
On this silent night, all emotions were hard to hide, including her love for him...
She turned her head and looked at the laptop and documents on the bedside table. He spent an hourtranslating all the documents so she would not have to stay up late...
Luca could not lie to herself any longer. She knew that Luke was doing all this because he wasinterested in her.
The next day.
Jason arrived at the hospital early in the morning when Luca was having breakfast in her ward.
"Dr. Craw, good morning." Jason greeted her and rubbed his hands together when he saw the laptopand folder on the bedside table.
Luca put down her utensils and said, "Good morning, Mr. Doyle. The documents have been translated."
Jason was overjoyed. "Really? Thank you, Dr. Craw."
"There's one thing I want you to be aware of, though." Luca hesitated for a while and decided to informJason about Luke's arrival yesterday as well as his involvement in translating the documents.
Jason picked up the laptop and documents. He could not stop smiling. He initially thought that Luca'sphysical condition might not allow her to complete this task.
He would be happy if she could complete even a part of it.
However, he did not expect Luca to have translated all the documents.
"What's the matter?" Jason was still full of smiles.
Luca said, "Mr. Crawford came yesterday when I was halfway through translating the documents."
When Luke's name was mentioned, the smile on Jason's face disappeared instantly. He looked at herin surprise and muttered, "Mr. Crawford... was here?"
"Yes, more than half of the documents were translated by Mr. Crawford," Luca said.
Jason panicked, and he continued to mutter, "That's it for me."
"I'm sure it's not a big deal..." Luca saw his reaction and comforted him. All that happened was thatLuke translated half of the documents. It was normal to be occupied with work and pass some work toothers. She was sure that Luke would not blame him for it.
Jason sighed and said, "The boss gave instructions that no one is allowed to disturb you while you'rerecovering. But I brought work to you and asked for your help. I'm in big trouble."
Luca did not know that Luke had specifically instructed the team. No wonder no one from the laboratoryhad reached out to her in the last couple of days.
They were worried about being scolded if Luke found out...
"Sorry, I didn't know..." Luca apologized.
Jason sighed. He did not blame her. "It's not your fault, Dr. Craw, I'll head back to the office now."
