Female Novel
Chapter 1899
Nina took a deep breath. Of course, she knew it would be a big problem if Tyrone's recovery did not gowell.
"I said that I'll take up the responsibility. My brother has been detained by the police officers now. Howcan I run away? Besides, I'll find the best doctor for Tyrone if he really has to receive treatment at alater stage. Don't worry." The only thing she could do was to assure Keith.
It had only been a few days, yet Nina was already on the verge of collapsing.
Anna thought Jean's case was just a small matter at first. It was only when Jean was detained in hisward that she realized how serious it was.
Hence, Anna would call and text Nina to urge Nina to bail Jean out whenever she had the chance to doso.
However, Nina did not listen to her. She had been dealing with the mess that Jean had left behind.
Nina was exhausted. She would have broken down without Percy's help.
Nina could bail Jean out, but she did not do so. It was because Jean should learn his lesson this timewhile he was detained in the custodial ward instead of prison. After all, it was much better than being inprison.
Keith narrowed his eyes. Indeed, Jean was still being held in the custodial ward, and Nina did not looklike she would bail him out.
Keith had been asking people to dig into the Langdon family's background lately. He found out that thesister and brother had a sick mother who was in this hospital too. If that was the case, they would beable to look for the brother and mother even if Nina ran away.
Keith narrowed his eyes, sizing Nina up maliciously. He then looked at the person behind Nina, Luca.
He held his finger up and pointed at them with a hideous expression on his face, “You've given yourword.”
After that, he turned around and left the ward.
Nina let out a sigh.
Luca turned to look at Luke's ward. Jason and Tina had yet to come out. She thought Luke was stilldiscussing work matters with them.
Although Luca did not want Luke to handle work matters with his condition now, there was no helping itsometimes.
They would not be able to complete the bidding document in time if Luke was not around to call theshots. Moreover, this man had always sought perfection in every detail. He was self-demanding andstrict with the others as well.
That was why Luca did not try to advise him.
Besides, she was in no position to give him advice.
Nina looked at her and asked, “Luca, why aren't you going in?"
Percy knew Nina would be going to the hospital frequently these days, so she might run into Luca. Thatwas why he told Nina that Luca would be keeping Luke company in the hospital. He even asked Ninanot to interfere with what was going on between them.
Nina knew there must be a reason why Percy said so, so she promised him.
"Mr. Doyle and someone else is in there. They should be busy handling work matters. It's not a goodidea if I go in now," explained Luca.
Nina nodded. She knew Luca was trying to avoid being suspected by her. It was an important project,after all. No mistakes were allowed.
"Can I go in and visit the patient?" Luca asked.
Nina pondered for a moment. Larry did now show up today, and Keith had left. There was only Tyroneand Aunt Jenny in the ward. Nina nodded and said, "Sure."
Luca followed Nina into the ward.
Aunt Jenny was sitting on the chair beside the ward bed and silently wiping her tears. She rolled hereyes at Nina when she saw her coming in.
Nina had gotten used to Aunt Jenny's attitude toward her. Aunt Jenny would always roll her eyes atNina whenever she saw her. She would point at Nina and scold her if the doctor informed her of somebad news.
Nina could understand Aunt Jenny's feelings. After all, who would be willing to let their son suffer all ofthese things?
That was why Nina had been enduring it silently.
Other than the beeping sounds of the monitoring equipment in the ward, there was no conversationbetween Nina and Aunt Jenny. Luca read the vital signs on the monitor. The patient's vital signs werestable. That was why the patient was able to transfer from the ICU to the general ward.
"How is he?" Nina asked.
"His vital signs are good," answered Luca as she looked at the bandage on Tyrone's head. Then, sheasked in a soft voice, "Only his head is injured, right?"
"There are other wounds too, but they're not life-threatening except for his head injury..." Nina let out asigh. Jean had hit his head way too hard and ruthlessly.
Nina had watched the surveillance footage of the bar after she got her hands on it. She realized thatthe reason why the glass shards were pierced into Tyrone's head was that after Jean smashedTyrone's head with the bottle, he kicked him. It caused Tyrone to fall to the floor. He knocked his headon the bar counter the moment he fell. That was how the glass shards got into his brain.
"He's going to be fine." Luca comforted Nina. She could not see the condition of Tyrone's injuries, butfortunately, he managed to survive this.
Aunt Jenny turned around and looked at them viciously. “Who are you? What makes you think that myson will be alright? He's lying here, and who's the one to blame for that?"
Luca parted her lips as she wanted to explain it to her.
Nina pulled her hand and apologized to Aunt Jenny. "I'm sorry. It's my brother's fault. Luca, let's go outand talk."
Luca nodded.
The two of them walked out of the ward. Luca noticed Nina's reddened eyes, and she comforted herwith a soft voice, saying, "Don't worry. Everything is going to be alright."novelbin
Nina sniffed and nodded. She felt better after Luca comforted her.
Both of them stood in the corridor, looking at the glass door at the end of the corridor and the sceneryoutside the windows.
Winter would always come to an end.
Jason and Tina walked out of the ward ten minutes later.
Jason saw Luca and said, "Dr. Craw, Mr. Crawford is looking for you."
Luca nodded and glanced at Nina, who was beside her.
"Off you go." Nina did not say anything more. Luke needed someone to take care of him now, and Lucawas good at taking care of people. What else could she say?
"Call me if anything happens," said Luca. Then, she returned to Luke's ward.
Luke was still sitting in a reclined position on the bed. What was different was that there were piles ofdocuments beside him, and he was holding a stack in his hands.
"Mr. Crawford, what's the matter?" Luca did not stop him from working.
"Please get me something to drink." Luke did not put down the document in his hands. He told her whathe needed directly.
Luca nodded and wondered why he did not tell Jason to get him a drink. She believed that it would notbe a big deal for Jason and Tina to help him with that.
Luca poured one-third of warm water and added two-thirds of cold water into a glass so that thetemperature would be just nice for him to drink it immediately.
As Luke was sitting in a reclined position, Luca was thoughtful enough to take one of the straws thenurse gave to her and put it in the glass. Then, she handed it to Luke.
Luke put down the document, held the glass with his hands, and drank it slowly.
Luca tidied up the pile of documents on his bedside and placed them on the bedside table according tothe colors and the importance of the folders.
Luke said, "It's inconvenient for me to take them if you arrange them like that."
Luke dared not to move too much, and he did not even dare to turn around. He would feel light-headedif he was even a little careless.
"I can help," Luca said in a soft voice.
