Chapter 1220 They Were Alone in the Room
Luke and Bianca got into the car.
Eventually, Luke managed to get Bianca admitted.
Johann performed a brief examination on Bianca, took off his stethoscope, and said, ’She has a high fever alright, and she's slightly dehydrated after one night. I'll get the nurse to hook her up to a saline drip and prescribe some medication. Don't worry. She'll be fine." "Mm." Luke nodded.
Johann put the stethoscope into his pocket, glanced at Bianca, then at Luke curiously.
He wondered when Luke had left the hotel room. Did he wait until Luca regained consciousness?
"Yes?" Luke asked.
Johann shook his head. Even though Bianca was asleep, it was not appropriate to discuss private matters in the hospital. He said, "It's nothing. I'll get the director of internal medicine to keep an eye on your wife. I need to go to New York tonight for a medical conference." "Mm," Luke replied.
Johann felt relieved that Luke was willing to let him go. He was worried that Luke would insist that he take care of Bianca.
Johann was very nervous every time Bianca fell sick. Luke would never let any other doctor take care of her. It was good to see that Luke had learned how to relax a little.
Before Johann left the room, he turned around and glanced at the couple.
Bianca was sleeping on the bed while Luke was sitting on the couch.
Johann shook his head. Luke had not learned to relax, but it was more like Luke's feelings for Bianca had lessened. He remembered how reluctant Luke was to leave Luca when she was drunk.
Luke had always been distant and aloof. It was only after he fell in love with Bianca that he gained a trace of humanity in his personality. After Bianca went missing, Luke seemed to have slowly reverted to his previous personality, and even after she came back, Luke never recovered from it.
Luke's expression was ice-cold. No one could read his thoughts or know if he was worried about Bianca.
It was only when he was close to Luca that he regained some of his former warmth...
Johann suddenly had a bad feeling about the situation. He hoped that he was not overthinking it. : owner of this content.
Meanwhile, Luca had just woken up in the hotel room. She was slightly startled when she stared at the unfamiliar ceiling and chandelier, but she soon remembered what happened the night before.
Abel had drugged her, and Luke had saved her.
Fortunately, she managed to restrain herself, and Luke did not do anything to her. Nothing happened between them except for the conversation.
Abel did not succeed.
Luca glanced at her phone next to the bed and saw that she had several missed calls. Before she could unlock her phone, her phone shut down because it had run out of power.
"..." She was speechless as she looked at the dark phone screen.
She pushed herself up. Her strength had returned after a night's rest, and her hair was already dry.
Luca sighed slowly, got out of bed, washed her face, changed her clothes, and left the room.
She left the access card on the front desk before leaving.
Luca knew that Abel was still lurking around somewhere, but she was not going to confront him yet.
It would take her some effort to find him, and she had more important things to do today.
Luca caught a cab and returned to her apartment.
When she opened the door, she saw Amur sitting on the couch. "Why are you up so early, Amur?" She asked.
When Amur heard her voice, he immediately stood up and said, "Where have you been the whole night, Luca?"
Luca could sense that Amur was very worried. She waved her hands to indicate that he should calm down.
Amur sat back down on the couch, though he could not help but say, "I tried to call you last night, but you didn't answer."
Luca could guess that all the missed calls were from him.
Other than him, no one in A City would care so much about her.
Luca smiled. To prevent herself from being disturbed by prank calls at night, he had a setting on her phone so that it would not ring past a certain time. The setting would only revert to normal the next morning.
"Sorry, Amur. I was too tired yesterday, so I didn't check my phone." Luca noticed the eyebags under Amur's eyes and knew that he had stayed up the entire night.
"I slept in the hotel last night. Abel did something to me," Luca said. Then, she told him everything that happened the previous night.
Amur was shocked by what he was told. He felt slightly relieved when he heard that she had taken the antidote. However, he became wary once more. Did she really take the antidote?
Was it possible for that man to remain unmoved?
Even though Bianca had changed her face, she was nonetheless very attractive.
Moreover, that man was Luke Crawford, the man she loved the most...
Abel knew that her feelings toward Luke had never changed over the past three years, and nothing would be able to change them.
Seeing that Amur was silent, Luca continued, "Abel's plan didn't work." "Mm." Amur could not voice his suspicions.
He knew that Luca was aware of what she should do and what she should not.
"You didn't sleep, did you? You should go and rest. You have a mission tonight, and you need to succeed this time."
Amur was indeed tired after staying up for the entire night worrying about her.
He nodded and went back into his bedroom.
Luca sat on the couch for a while, deep in thought.
Even though Amur did not say anything, she knew what he was thinking.
She had spent some time with Luke in the hotel room. Even though he eventually left without doing anything, someone with malicious intentions could make up stories, and there was no way of explaining around it.
Luca was afraid that Abel would make up stories from that incident. She plugged her phone to charge it and turned it on five minutes later.
There was a five-percent charge in the battery. She opened an app and connected it to her laptop so that she could check on Abel's whereabouts.
After Amur completed his mission tonight, she would look for him and find out what he wanted to do.
