Chapter 1182 The Family of Six
Jack pushed the wheelchair out of the office while Luke followed behind them.
They waited for the elevator at the elevator lobby.
Jack asked, "Luke, how is the situation with the scandal?" "Don’t worry. I've already found the reporter behind the article." Luke did not tell him the situation in detail because he did not want his in-laws to
worry.
Jack nodded and said, "Now that you've caught him, you shouldn't let him off so easily. Bring him to court if you need to. It might not be a bad thing for you and Bea if you decided to blow up the incident even more."
He only suggested that because he believed that Luke would not deliberately ruin his own reputation.
"Mm.” Luke nodded. He wondered if his in-laws would say that if they knew that Bianca was the mastermind behind the incident.
They would not understand why Bianca would do that.
The elevator arrived, and the doors slowly opened. It was not the peak visiting hour, so there was only one woman in the cabin.
Luca’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the three people who were waiting for the elevator. She reflexively lowered her head.
'What a coincidence...'
The three people outside the elevator were Luke, Jack, and Queenie.
Jack pushed the wheelchair into the elevator while Luke held the door open.
Luca watched the scene with the corner of her eye. She was relieved when she saw Luke taking good care of her parents. Even if she could not reunite with them, she believed that she could entrust them to Luke.
After the three people went inside, the elevator doors slowly closed.
Queenie, sitting in the wheelchair, turned her head to look at Luca.
Luca lowered her head even more when she realized that Queenie was looking at her. Fortunately, she was wearing a cap and a mask because she did not want to be recognized as the woman in the scandal. Jack and Queenie should not be able to recognize her.
When the elevator arrived at her floor, Luca rushed out as fast as she could.
Luke stepped aside to make way for her. He frowned when Luca walked past her, thinking that the scent was very familiar.
Luca did not stop walking toward Amur's ward after she got out of the elevator. She wanted to bring some broth for him while checking on his condition. If he was well enough, he could be discharged from the hospital.
She did not know when Queenie would be discharged, and she was afraid that they might eventually recognize her. After all, it was quite a big coincidence to meet Queenie two days in a row.
Luca did not want Queenie or Luke to know that she was the person who had sent Queenie the package.
The doctor and the nurse were in Amur's ward when she arrived there.
The nurse had just replaced Amur's bandages, and Amur had not put on his clothes yet. When Amur saw Luca walking in, he hastily covered himself with the clothes in embarrassment.
Luca did not pay too much attention to that. Amur was like a little brother to her.
She placed the flask of broth on the bedside cabinet and asked the doctor, "How is my younger brother doing?" "There are no signs of infection on his wounds, and his rate of recovery is much faster than anyone else I've seen. Has his body always been like this? " The doctor was surprised that Amur was recovering amazingly fast.
Anyone else with the same type of injury would still be bedridden on the third day, and they would not be able to move about in case they aggravated their wounds. However, Amur had already stopped bleeding and could freely move about.
"Are you talking about how fast his wounds heal?" Luca smiled. "My younger brother has always been healthy. Even when he catches the flu, he’d recover faster than anyone else. There shouldn’t be any major problems with his body, right?" "He looks as though he has been recuperating for a week, so there won't be any problems. I've been wondering if there was something weird, but if you say that he's always been like that, then it's nothing out of the ordinary," the doctor said. He knew that some people have a better physical constitution than others.
"Can he be discharged today?” Luca asked.
"Of course. You can go to the nurses' station in half an hour." The doctor nodded and said to the nurse, "Go and get the paperwork done." "Yes, Doc." The nurse left the ward.
"Thank you." Luca smiled and nodded. After seeing the doctor leave, she paid the caretaker for her services.
After the caretaker left, she went to the bedside cabinet and opened the flask. "I boiled some broth for you. You'll have to finish it." "I'm fine now." Amur frowned slightly. The herbal broths that Luca made for him helped him in his recovery, but they were quite bitter.
"You're not fully recovered yet. One scratch and you'll be bleeding again." Luca poured the broth into a bowl and handed it to Amur. "It's either you finish the broth and I’ll get you discharged, or you can stay in the hospital for two more days."
Amur took the bowl, indicating his decision. "I'll finish the broth."
Luca smiled at him gently and said, "Can I bother you with a favor?" "Skip the formalities. You saved my life." Amur took a big gulp of the broth and grimaced instantly.
"Help me hack into the hospital system once more. I want to see if Queenie has received her medical report," Luca said.
"No problem." Amur finished the rest of the broth in another two gulps and started to work on his laptop.
Luca poured the rest of the soup into the bowl while watching Amur's fingers fly on the keyboard. She sat on the couch and did not disturb him.
In the meantime, she sent a message to Rhett, telling him that she would be taking the rest of the morning off.
Rhett replied very quickly, saying that Cole had approved of her leave.
She looked at Nyla’s photos in her photo album and smiled gently.
Whenever she felt down, she would feel better if she saw her daughter's smile.
If only the family of six could live happily together...
In a short while, Amur said, "I've found it." "Let me see." Luca put her phone away and went over to see the medical report. She skipped the medical jargon even though she fully understood what it meant, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the final section.
Indeed, Queenie was poisoned...
"You knew?" Amur asked when he saw that she was not very surprised. This belongs to - ©.
He knew that Queenie was her birth mother, and Luca would not have been able to be so calm if she had not known about it.
"Mm, I knew it." Luca nodded, though she seemed unhappy. "I've made a herbal concoction for her too. She wouldn't have suffered if I had returned earlier." "In any case, you've saved her life." Amur was not sure how to comfort her, so he told her as it was.
"They're the ones who gave me life." Luca smiled. Seeing that it was almost time, she stood up and said, "Finish the rest of the broth. I'll go and get the paperwork done."
