Chapter 2233
Luke smiled when he looked at Luca from behind. She was trying to avoid him. He turned off the lightsand lay down on the bed.
There was a wave of warmth on Luca's waist as Luke wrapped his arms around her. He said, "Goodnight."
It was as though his deep and husky voice was expressing his gentleness.
‘Good night..'
Luca muttered in her heart and quietly closed her eyes.
Luca never had any problems with sleeping when Luke was by her side. She could sleep through thenight.
The following day.
Luke had already gotten out of bed when Luca woke up in the morning. She sat up on the bed andlistened carefully to her surroundings. No noises were coming from the bathroom. It looked like Lukehad already left.
Luca touched the mattress beside her. It was still warm.
Luke had cuddled with her last night. The warmth on Luke's body made her feel like her body was onfire.
Luca was not overwhelmed by the warmth she felt last night. The uneasiness in her reminded her thatshe should not fall for it. After all, she might be forced to leave Luke at any moment.
After Luca cleaned herself up, she walked out of the bedroom. She noticed that Luke's bedroom doorwas left ajar. She glanced at the room and happened to see Luke sitting behind his desk, busy handlingthe documents.
It was probably because they had supper last night, so Luke did not get to finish his work.
Luca slightly furrowed her brows. She fell deeply asleep last night, and she did not even notice whattime Luke woke up to work.
Luke could sense that Luca was staring at him and looked up. The moment their gazes met, there wasa faint smile on his lips. He said, “Good morning.”
“Good morning..." Luca paused for a moment. "I'm going downstairs to prepare breakfast."
Although Luca slept well last night, she woke up early. The kids were still in bed at this time, and AuntNeile must be preparing breakfast downstairs.
Luca shifted her gaze away and made her way down the stairs.
Aunt Neile was busy making breakfast in the kitchen.
Luca walked into the kitchen. When she was about to put on the apron and help Aunt Neile, her phonerang.
She took her phone out of her pocket and noticed that it was Queenie calling her.
Luca's heart skipped a beat. Something must have happened if Queenie was calling at this hour.
"Aunt Neile, let me answer this call first," Luca said to Aunt Neile as she headed out.
“Okay, Ms. Craw. Go ahead." Aunt Neile took a quick look behind her and noticed that color wasdraining from Luca's face.
Luca trotted out of the kitchen and answered the call. "Good morning, Mrs. Norman. Why are youcalling me early in the morning?"
Queenie's anxious voice came from the other side of the line as she said, "Oh, Luca. I'm sorry to botheryou early in the morning. There's something I need you to help me with."
"Mrs. Norman, do tell." Luca tensed up when she heard Queenie sound so anxious. She repliedimmediately.
"It's Leia. She had a shock earlier before dawn. Her condition stabilized after the doctor rescued her,but..." Queenie sobbed. She could not utter the last few words at the end of the sentence.
"What did the doctor say?" Luca frowned. If it was about Leia's condition. It was also something Lucawas worried about.
After all, she was not by Queenie's side now. Leia was her only emotional support.
If anything happened to Leia, Luca was worried that Queenie would go down the wrong path.
If that happened, it would bring the Norman family a disastrous series of events.
After all, Jack was holding an important position in government now. His position was so high that itwas easy to arouse the jealousy and attention of others. Once Queenie stepped on the wrong path,they might immediately get exposed.
That was why Luca was worried if something had happened to Leia.
"The doctor told me that Leia's condition is getting worse every day. But there are limited liver donors inthe country and she's still on the waiting list. Based on her situation now, I'm not sure if she can waituntil. The doctor said that although there are more liver donors abroad, Leia can't travel on a planebecause of her current situation. Luca, you're the only one who can help her." Queenie sobbed.
Luca frowned. Help? How was she going to help her?
Leia was adopted. Everyone in the Norman family, including her, had different blood types from Leia.novelbin
"Mrs. Norman, calm down. What I can do for you.." Luca softened her voice and comforted her.
Queenie took a deep breath and looked at Leia, who was surrounded by medical equipment in theward. If Leia was not that stubborn, she would not have ended up in such a situation now.
The doctor said that Leia's condition had worsened too quickly, and it was Leia who asked for it.
Queenie felt helpless when she heard what the doctor told her, but keeping Leia alive was her prioritynow.
"The doctor who rescued Leia last night was Dr. Park. He said that you know how to perform dryneedling. It might work on Leia. Luca, I beg you, please help Leia. I have only one daughter left now. Ican't just watch her die." Queenie begged.
Queenie knew Luca had sensed that she was distancing herself from her because of Luke.
Now, Queenie had to swallow her pride to ask for Luca's help. She was worried that Luca would rejecther.
“Is Ms. Norman relying on life support equipment to survive?" Luca asked.
“Yes, Dr. Park got her hooked up to the equipment since last night. He said we'll have to wait until hercondition has stabilized the next day. After that, he'll remove the equipment," Queenie sniffed.
"There's nothing I can do if she's still depending on the life support equipment. How about this? I'll goover there later. I'll need another two hours. Everything will be okay. The doctor is looking after her, so
Ms. Norman will be fine." Luca comforted Queenie. She was worried that Queenie would get confusedand her health would be affected.
"Okay. I'll be waiting at the hospital," replied Queenie. It all happened so suddenly, and the hospitaleven issued a notice of critical illness for her. That was why Queenie and Jack went to the hospitaltogether.
Jack was buying breakfast for her downstairs.
"Don't worry. Dr. Park is an experienced and skilled doctor." Luca ended the call after comforting her.
She was no longer in the mood to help Aunt Neile to prepare breakfast. She walked into the kitchenand said to Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, can you please make me a cup of coffee?"
"You're having coffee today? Not milk?" Aunt asked surprisingly.
"No," replied Luca as she shook her head. Although she had enough rest last night, she needed toconcentrate to handle Leia's situation.
After Luca informed Aunt Neile, she sent a message to Johann to ask him how Leia's condition wasnow.
Johann was the one who rescued Leia, after all. He should know her current condition.
Aunt Neile had finished preparing breakfast while Luca was still busy texting Johann. Lanie and theothers were awake and they came downstairs.
Nina followed right after the kids. She was surprised to see Luca sitting alone in the living room. Wherewas Luke?
"Breakfast is ready. You can have your breakfast now," said Aunt Neile.
Luca got to know Leia's current condition after chatting with Johann. She kept her phone and rose toher feet.
Aunt Neile noticed that Luke had not come down yet. She turned to look at Luca and asked, "Ms. Craw,is Mr. Crawford still in bed?"
