Female Novel
Chapter 2727
Luke immediately came forward and stood in front of Luca with a concerned expression on his face. Hedid not expect Ambrose to make such a move, nor did he expect that the security guards would remainrooted on the spot instead of stopping Ambrose.
"Are you hurt?" Luke's expression was gloomy, but it was obvious that he cared for Luca.
Luca shook her head. Her heart slightly pounded. Fortunately, she was quick enough. Otherwise, Rhettand she would have been hurt.
As Luca stared at the burnt and corroded carpet on the ground, she realized that even Shanks wouldnot have been able to save her from disfigurement if the acid was splashed on her. It would have beeneven worse if it had gotten into her throat or esophagus.
Luca's heart could not help but increase. "I didn't get any on me."
"Leave it to me." Luke turned around and looked at Ambrose and the stunned onlookers with a grimexpression on his face. "Why are you still standing there? Get him."
Rhett was the first to step forward and fight with Ambrose.
The security guards immediately rushed toward them, helping Rhett to get Ambrose under controlwhen they realized things had gotten serious.
Ambrose was outnumbered. It only took a while for him to be overpowered by them.
As Ambrose was pressed down on the ground, he could not help but look in Luke's direction. He wasglaring at Luca, who was behind him. "Luca, you b*tch! I'll kill you even if I can't do it now. It's not likeyou'll always be safe just because Luke Crawford is protecting you."
"Call the police and get him out of here." Luke could not be bothered to talk to him.
Those who intended to harm Luca would eventually come to no good, just like Matysh, Leia, and nowAmbrose.novelbin
"Yes, Sir." Rhett took out his phone and called the police.
Ambrose listened to Rhett's conversation with the police and glared at him menacingly. "Rhett, youmade me lose my job. I'll make sure you'll never have it easy either."
Rhett was secretly terrified. He did not expect Ambrose to do something like this to get back at him andLuca.
If it were not for Luca, who immediately pushed him away, he would have been splashed too.
After telling the police where they were, Rhett saw the hotel manager hurrying toward them.
The hotel manager glanced at Ambrose, who was being held by a few men. The expression on his facechanged. He recognized him as the person they had hired a few days ago through a referral to work asa waiter.
The manager immediately approached Luke and asked, "Mr. Crawford, I'm sorry about what happened.I'll give you an explanation."
Luke gave the manager a cold stare and reminded him, "No one stopped him just now."
The manager turned to look at the security guards. He made eye contact with them, signaling andasking why they had not intervened.
The guards had been there all along. If Ambrose made a scene, they should have stepped forward tostop him in the first instance. "I'll look into this and find out what happened," the manager promised.
"Hand Ambrose over to the police. I'd like to know the reason why he was released and why thesecurity guards did nothing. Watsons will hold the hotel accountable for this if you don't figure out why."Luke expressed his thoughts clearly.
If the hotel failed to give him an explanation, they would certainly be held accountable for the incident.
"Yes, Sir." The manager was shocked. He never thought that hiring a waiter could lead to such anincident. He walked toward the security guards and urged them, "Get him out of here and wait for thepolice."
"Yes, Manager." The two security guards escorted Ambrose from the dining hall.
Ambrose turned his head and glowered at Luca and others when he was being forced to leave the hall.
Dr. Linwood noticed Ambrose's expression. He could not help but mutter, "Why is he so resentful?"
"The look on his face is terrifying," added another professor. Ambrose made a mistake. He was fired asa matter of course.
Even though Luca fired him, she gave him his bonus, and she did not report the incident to the police.She tried not to make a big deal out of it. However, Ambrose still held a grudge against her and soughtrevenge, which was really frightening...
After Ambrose left, Luca came to the researcher who was splashed with strong acid. She looked at thewound on his hand. Several drops of acid were splashed on him. The clothes on one of his arms werecorroded. The skin that was exposed to the air had turned red and bubbly, and the burned skin waswrinkled.
As Luca looked at the painful expression on the researcher's face, Luca said to Rhett, "Call theambulance."
"Alright." Rhett immediately made the call.
Luca walked to the table nearby and grabbed all the tissue papers. Then, she walked toward theresearcher and said, "Hang in there. I'll use this to absorb the acid on the surface of your skin first."
The skin that was burned by strong acid could not be rinsed with water. Luca had no choice but toquickly use tissues and carefully wipe the burned skin as gently as she could.
Luca was being careful as she did not want to make it more painful for the researcher. Also, she did notwant to break the skin either.
However, the researcher furrowed his brows. He could not help but wince in pain and groan. "Ah!"
Luca heard him groan, and she could not help but feel guilty.
She knew that Ambrose targeted her and Rhett when he threw the acid at them. It was an accident inwhich someone else got injured.
Luca dodged, but she caused someone else to get hurt.
Luca felt sorry for him. She felt uncomfortable at the thought of others getting hurt because of her.Hence, she turned to Luke and suggested, "Mr. Crawford, why don't we just send him to the hospitalright away? The ambulance might take some time."
Luca had no medical supplies with her now. There was no way she could help the researcher to dresshis wound. "Alright. Lliam is waiting downstairs," replied Luke.
When Rhett heard their conversation, he quickly informed the person on the other end of the line thatthey would take the patient to the hospital.
"It's okay, Mr. Crawford. I'll just take a taxi." Even though the researcher was in pain, he did not want totrouble Luke.
"Cut the crap. Let's go," said Luke as he headed to the entrance of the hall.
"Let's go," Luca said to the researcher and followed behind Luke. She thought of getting into the carand following them to the hospital.
The researcher had no choice but to endure the pain and follow them.
The three of them got into the car and headed to the hospital after they left the hotel.
Luke had informed the hospital in advance. Therefore, the medical staff immediately came to help theresearcher to dress his wound as soon as they arrived at the emergency department.
Luca and Luke sat on the chairs in the hospital hallway, waiting for the researcher's wound to betreated.
"Are you alright?" asked Luke. Even though Luca did not seem like she was in pain, he could not helpbut feel shaken by what happened earlier.
If it were not for Luca's quick reflexes... He did not dare to think about the consequences.
"I'm okay, Mr. Crawford." replied Luca as she shook her head.
Dodging attacks was included in the training she received when she was on the Island of Despair. Thatwas why she was able to escape easily.
The consequences would have been unimaginable if she had reacted a little slower.
Luca did not expect the training she was forced to receive on the Island of Despair to save her life oneday.
"I'm surprised why the security guards didn't step in when Ambrose started causing trouble." said Luca,expressing her doubts. Even though the security guards were not professionally trained, they shouldhave taken action immediately when someone was making a scene. However, they just stood thereand watched them.
