Chapter 2878
"Alright, noted." Luca took Johann's words to heart.
She knew that Old Man Rayne had only passed one hurdle thus far, and there were many morehurdles to come.
It would be too difficult for the old master to face these obstacles alone, so they had to face themtogether.
Johann looked at the three of them and reminded them, "Visitors aren't allowed in the ICU ward now,so go get some rest and come back tomorrow. Perhaps Old Man Rayne would be awake then."
"Sure, thanks a lot." Luke held Luca's hand. All they could do now was wait for news from the ICU.Then, he said, "One more thing."
"What is it?" Johann was listening.
"Tell them not to talk about Old Man Rayne's illness in front of Aunt Wanda," said Luke.
The nurses were not aware of the relationship between Old Man Rayne and Wanda, and they wouldoften discuss patients' conditions. He feared Wanda would hear them talk about Old Man Rayne beinghospitalized.
According to Wanda's personality, she would blame herself for not being by his side and caring for himif she found out. She would think it was her fault that he fell sick, and she would not focus on her ownrecovery.
"Sure, no problem." Johann agreed without hesitation and looked at Luca sympathetically.
Two of her relatives were hospitalized and had to get surgery back to back. If this happened tosomeone else, they would have broken down long ago, but Luca seemed fine. Although sadness could
be seen in her eyes, she did not break down and cry.
Sure enough, people changed over time. Bianca used to be so weak in the past. Although she seemedstrong, her weak personality made everyone pity her. Besides, with Luke protecting her, anyone with abrain would not dare to offend her.
They dared not provoke her because she had Luke to rely on.
Now, she had gotten so much stronger that she did not need to rely on Luke to scare people away.
She had become so strong and capable that she was even known as a legendary figure in this hospitalafter word spread about the rehabilitation therapy she did for that little brat in the Norman family. Sheknew much more than the doctors in the hospital who went to medical school for many years.
After Johann left, Luke took Luca's hand and walked to the parking lot.
When they got to the parking lot, Luke opened the passenger seat door and said, "Let's go home."
Luca nodded and looked back at the hospital building, hesitant to speak.
Luke knew that if he did not leave with Luca, she would just be waiting outside of the ICU for the doctorto say that Old Man Rayne had passed the critical stage and could be transferred to the general ward.
"Don't worry, Johann is there," said Luke.
Johann would probably stay at the hospital for the next two days.
Although Johann did not hold any titles, as a highly-skilled doctor, the treatment he received from thehospital was no worse than that of a director or deputy director.
He had his own lounge in the hospital, so staying there for a few days was not a problem.
Luca knew that she could not stay here and keep an eye on the old man, so she nodded and got in thecar.
Luke closed the passenger door and drove off.
The next day, there was no news of the old man from the ICU. However, Johann told Luke and Lucathat Old Man Rayne had woken up. He said the old man should stay in the ICU for another day.
After getting the news, Luca calmed down. Although she was still worried about the old man'scondition, his waking up was good news.
She walked into Wanda's ward with a thermos flask.
Wanda noticed Luca walking in, so she smiled and said, "Luca, you're here."
She had not seen Luca in two days, so she was smiling when she saw her coming.
"Yes, I'm not that busy at work today. Ms. Rayne, how have you been feeling the past two days?" Lucacould not come to the hospital often because of various reasons, but she did message Wanda to checkup on her as she was concerned.
"I'm good." Wanda smiled.
Luca gave the thermos flask to Mrs. Lane before walking to the chair beside the bed. She carefullyobserved Wanda's complexion. "Ms. Rayne, your complexion doesn't seem too good. Are you feelingany discomfort?"novelbin
Seeing her concerned look, Wanda smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm getting better day by day."
Luca frowned and looked at Mrs. Lane, who was pouring out the soup.
Mrs. Lane's eyes met Luca's, and she knew what she was going to ask, so she said, "Ms. Raynecouldn't sleep well yesterday, so her complexion doesn't look great. The doctor came to check on her,and he said that everything is fine."
Luca was slightly shocked, then she looked at Wanda. "Ms. Rayne, why didn't you rest well? If you'reexperiencing insomnia, the doctor can prescribe you some sleeping pills."
Wanda shook her head and confessed, "I've been sleeping well these days, but for some reason, I feltrestless last night. It wasn't like I was having a heart attack. I just didn't feel good. When the doctorcame to check today, he didn't say anything. Perhaps I slept too much during the day, so that's why Icouldn't sleep at night.."
Luca sighed inwardly. It was not because she slept too much during the day...
It could be the father-daughter connection that made Wanda uneasy when Old Man Rayne fell into acoma.
Luca did not know if Wanda had thought that far, so she laughed cooperatively. “I see. It's best not tosleep too much during the day, or else you won't be able to sleep at night. Not only will it worsen yourcomplexion, but it'll also affect your body too."
Then, she added, "How about this? Next time, I'll add some herbs that'll calm your nerves."
"That's too much work, Luca. I'm pretty much all recovered. After the chemotherapy treatment is over, Ican go home. You don't have to make soup for me anymore." Wanda did not want to take up Luca'stime.
She knew that Luca did not come the past two days because she was busy with work, so she felt badfor using her time.
Patients like her who had their stitches removed could go home and just come to the hospital on theday of their chemotherapy appointment.
However, Wanda was worried that if she kept going back and forth, Old Man Rayne would find outabout her illness. Thus, she told Luke and the doctor in advance that if chemotherapy was requiredafter surgery, she would stay at the hospital until the treatment was done.
Luke had no objections, and neither did the hospital.
"It's not troublesome. It's actually very easy. I just need to set the timer and the soup will be done by thetime I get home," said Luca. She did not actually use a timer, but with Aunt Neile's help, it was not a bigdeal.
Wanda had nothing to say.
Mrs. Lane walked to the bed with the pumpkin soup and set up the small table before saying, "Ms.Rayne, this is just a small token of appreciation from Ms. Craw, so just accept it. Your complexion willlook much better after drinking this pumpkin soup. I've seen many cancer patients become muchweaker after surgery no matter how well they've recovered, but look at you; you're still full of energy.This must be because of the soups Ms. Craw prepared for you."
