Female Novel
Chapter 1776
After she was done with dinner, Luca set off to the hospital with a thermos flask in her hand.
After Luke finished his meeting, he came down with the tray, which the cleaning lady immediately tookto the kitchen. He subconsciously looked for Luca.
However, he did not see her.
Tommy sat on the sofa and read a storybook. When he saw Luke looking around, he said, "Daddy, youdon't need to look for Ms. Luca. Ms. Luca has already left."
"She went out?" Luke frowned and sat beside his son.
"Yeah. Ms. Luca went out after dinner. She said she was going to visit Aunt Nina." Tommy was aqualified messenger.
"Why didn't she ask me to drive her?" Luke took his son's storybook and flipped it resignedly.
When he saw how Luke reacted, Tommy took his storybook and said, "Ms. Luca knew that you werebusy, so she didn't want to bother you. She cares about you. Why are you unhappy about that?"
Seeing how street smart Tommy was, Luke suspected that he watched those TV shows with Rainie. Heraised his hand and flicked his forehead with his fingers. "You're just a kid. Don't worry about what theadults are up to."
Tommy rubbed his forehead in pain. "Daddy, I won't care about you anymore. I don't get why you'reupset when Ms. Luca is being considerate to you."
"I'd rather she trouble me more." Luke believed that loving someone included solving their troubles. Hewas more than happy to do so.
Tommy picked up his storybook and jumped off the sofa. He shook his head helplessly when he sawhow his Daddy acted. Adult relationships were not something that a child like him understood.
Luke's face was stern when he saw how Tommy reacted. "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing. The world of adults is too complicated for me. I'd better go back to the bedroom and read mystorybook," Tommy said and headed upstairs with his storybook in his hand.
Luke stood up as well.
Luca did not want to trouble him, so he would continue working. He would have more time to win overher if his work was well managed.
Anyway, they had the rest of their lives together. He believed more than anything that Luca wasdestined to be with him.
Luca arrived at the hospital, walked into the ward, and noticed that Percy was still around. He wonsome brownie points from her.
He was worried that Nina would be in danger if she were left alone in the hospital, so he took care ofher and never left her side. It was a good thing. With him around, Nina would be safe. She would nothave to worry about being harassed by Pierre and his men.
"Luca, you're here!" Nina smiled when she saw Luca.
Luca walked in with the thermos and said, "Yes, I promised to cook chicken soup for you. Do you wantto have some now?"
"Yes, I haven't eaten in a while. I'm so hungry that it's making me uncomfortable. I'd love to have somechicken soup now." Nina smiled. The chicken soup Luca brought was timely as it could relieve thediscomfort in her stomach.
Percy frowned and asked, "Your stomach is feeling uncomfortable? Why didn't you tell me?"
Nina did not want him to know. After all, it was just an upset stomach. She knew she would feel betterafter drinking something warm, so she did not say anything and waited for Luca to come.
She did not expect to be so excited when she saw Luca carrying the chicken soup that she let it slip.
"It's nothing to worry about. I'll feel better after I have some chicken soup," Nina quickly said for fearthat Percy would get all the doctors involved and ask them to do a bunch of examinations on her.
"You were on a hunger strike for a few days. A little discomfort can end up being a big problem." Percywanted the doctor to come and do a check-up on her.
He could not bear to lose Nina. He did not want to take any risk.
"I'm fine, trust me." Seeing that he was about to look for a doctor, Nina quickly persuaded him to stop.She looked at Luca and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Luca to check my pulse. Her medical skillsare even praised by Mr. Crawford."
Luca nodded. She also thought that Nina had no major problem, so she looked at Percy and asked,"Why don't you let me take her pulse?"
Percy nodded. He trusted her medical skills.
Luca reached out and took Nina's pulse. The atmosphere in the ward became so quiet that one couldhear a pin drop.
After a while, she withdrew her hand.
Percy was very anxious. He asked, "How is she?"novelbin
"There's no major problem. She's just slightly malnourished." Luca opened the thermos flask with asmile while she poured out the chicken soup. "The malnutrition can be cured as long as she eats well,so it's up to you, Mr. Percy. "
She meant for Percy to take good care of Nina. Nina blushed and said, "Luca, what nonsense are youtalking about?"
"I'm telling the truth. Mr. Percy is a good man, and I'm sure he wants to take care of you for the rest ofhis life." Luca handed the bowl of chicken soup to her. She was slightly envious.
Although Nina had gone through some hardships, she had a bright future where she and Percy couldhave a fairytale ending.
On the contrary, she previously lived a very happy life with Luke and gave him children. However, theirfuture was a bumpy ride.
It was likely that she and Luke would not get their happy ending.
"I can take care of myself." Nina handed the chicken soup to Percy. "Do you want some?"
"I'm good. You can have it all." Percy looked at her gluttonous expression, it seemed that Luca'scooking was indeed delicious.
It was a pity that she belonged to Luke. Otherwise, he would have hired her to cook for Nina every day.
"Both of you can have some. I brought a lot. It's enough for two people," Luca said as she picked upthe bowl next to her and filled it up.
Nina handed him the bowl in her hand and said, "Did you hear her? Have some."
Percy nodded and took the bowl.
Luca watched as the two drank the chicken soup without saying a word. She felt like a third wheel, soshe closed the lid of the thermos and said, "Enjoy yourselves. I'll head off now. There's still a lot of soupin the thermos. Feel free to finish it."
"You're leaving so soon?" Nina looked at her, stunned.
"Yeah, I don't want to be a third wheel. I still have a lot of work to attend to. Have fun." Luca turnedaround to leave. She did not want to bother them, they needed the alone time.
After she left the ward, she walked straight out of the hospital.
She wanted to go back to the villa to work, but unexpectedly, she saw Pierre when she passed by thehospital's parking lot.
When she thought of everything he had done, including Nina's kidnapping, she clenched her fists. Shewatched him close the door and walked toward him quickly.
"Pierre!" Luca's voice was full of anger. After she grabbed her phone and pressed the record button,she rushed directly in front of him.
Pierre's expression was gloomy. When he saw it was her, he sneered and said, "What do you want?Do you want to come to me?"
"What did you say?! I'll tear you into pieces!" Luca clenched her fists. She could not help it. She wantedto hit him in the face.
"Wow, even after being kidnapped, you're still so short-tempered." Pierre narrowed his eyes and lookedat her flawless forehead. "No scars? It seems that Luke took good care of you. No wonder you'rewilling to be his mistress."
