Chapter 1247 None of Your Business!

Luca did not explain herself. Instead, she said, "I don't have my acupuncture needles with me. Can you find me a set?"

The nurse looked at the patient's family. None of them had any objections, as though they trusted that woman completely. On the other hand, they seemed to have ignored her question.

"Are you sure that you want to perform acupuncture on the patient?" The nurse asked again.

"Yes.” Luca nodded and pulled her hand away.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, the nurse left the room.

Tommy walked upto Luca and asked her softly, "Ms. Luca, can you make Mommy well again?"

Luca patted the boy's head but said nothing.

If her guess was correct, no one could make Bianca well again. Bianca should have taken a drug that had no antidote.

Shanks had discovered the properties of the drug when he was teaching medicine to Luca. He did not find an antidote for it because it was not lethal.

Luca knew that Bianca's condition would continue to deteriorate, but she would fully recover in a month. In the meantime, no amount of medication could possibly cure her.

What Luca could only do now was to verify her guess with Bianca.

For that to happen, she had to wake Bianca up first.

Tommy did not seem too worried when he failed to get an answer from Luca. Instead, he asked, "Ms. Luca, are you busy lately?"

"Not very. Why?" Luca looked at the boy lovingly. She could tell that the boy genuinely liked her.

"I want to visit your house," Tommy said with a smile.

Instinctively, Luca shot a glance at Luke. She thought that she saw him look away for a brief moment when he had been looking at her earlier.

"Be a good boy and come to Grandma, Tommy." Queenie was quite surprised that Tommy was so close to Luca. This belongs to - ©.

Tommy shook his head. He wanted to stay by Luca's side.

Just when Queenie wanted to tell Tommy not to bother Luca, the nurse returned with a box in her hands.

"Let me know if this works for you. Do you need anything else?" The nurse asked. She had to make a few calls to different departments to find the needles.

"This'll do," Luca said after a brief check. "I need to be alone with the patient. Can you leave the room for a while?"

Queenie understood that Luca would have to take off Bianca's clothes for the treatment, and the sight of someone being pierced with needles might be traumatic to

Tommy. She said, "I'm her mother, Luca. Can I stay here?"

"I'm afraid that you'll distract me, Mrs. Norman. Maybe you can wait outside. I'll be done in fifteen minutes," Luca insisted. After Bianca woke up, she had many questions to ask her.

Luke came over, took Tommy's hand, and led him out of the room. He had many questions about Luca's background, but he fully trusted her when it came to treating Bianca. "Well be outside."

Luca could not help but smile wryly when she heard that. Was that supposed to be a warning?

After Luke and Tommy left the room, the other people followed them.

The nurse asked, "Should I stay back to help you?"

"There's no need." Luca opened a bottle of alcohol and prepared to sterilize the needles. "Please close the door on your way out."

The nurse nodded and left the room, though she was quite surprised that Luke would allow a stranger to attempt to treat his wife using alternative means.

After everyone else left, Luca took a needle, sterilized it, and inserted it into a certain point on Bianca's forehead.

The unconscious woman twitched an eyebrow involuntarily.

Luca sterilized a second needle and inserted it in another spot.

Three seconds later, Bianca slowly opened her eyes. She frowned as she looked at the woman sitting next to her, but she grimaced in pain.

"Why are you here?" She could tell that she was still in the hospital, but she did not know why Luca had suddenly appeared there.

"Luke Crawford asked me to come," Luca reached out and removed the needles on Bianca's forehead.

"Go away." Bianca did not attempt to mask her hatred toward Luca. She became even more agitated when she heard that Luke was the one who brought Luca here.

"He asked me to come to check on you because you had the fever for a very long time. Also, don't be too agitated. The room might be well-insulated, but I don't think you want them to hear our conversation." Luca tossed the used needles into the trash can. She remembered what she had said earlier and tossed the other unused needles into the trash can as well.

Bianca spoke a lot more softly after that. "I don't need your help."

She knew the condition of her illness very well. She would recover fully in a month without needing any medication.

"Of course. You also know that you'll recover in a month without any medication," Luca said calmly. From Bianca's expression, Luca could tell that she had indeed taken the drug.

Bianca was taken aback. 'Did she guess it?"

"Let me guess. You're trying to gain Luke's attention, and you've fallen ill because you've taken Shanks's pill," Luca said candidly without beating around the bush.

Bianca was feeling weak, so she could only glare at Luca." So what about it? I did it because I want to complete my mission."

"You're going to be ill for one month in exchange for his attention. Do you think that's worth it?" Luca shook his head.

She could not believe that Bianca would go to such lengths to complete her mission.

She guessed that Bianca must have fallen in love with Luke.

"That's none of your business!" Bianca was embarrassed after Luc correctly guessed her thoughts.

Luca glanced at the door. "They're right outside. You can be louder and tell them what they need to know."

Bianca gripped the bed sheets tightly and spoke in a low voice. "I know that you have a mission too. Just mind your own business and do your job."

Luca nodded. "I am doing my job. By the way, how did you get your hands on that pill?"

"I wouldn't have gotten it if Boss didn't give it to me, right?" Bianca said. Even though Abel had not handed her the pill directly, he had given it to someone to give it to her.

Luca nodded. "How many pills did you take?"

"None of your business!" Bianca glared at Luca. She knew that she was not going to die, so she had no obligation to answer Luca's questions.

"Do you actually think that you won't die from the drug? Overdosing it without an antidote can be fatal. Your body is now developing a resistance to the drug. You'd better tell me if you don't want your brain to melt into goo."

Luca was not lying to her. The regular medication would be able to suppress the effects of the drug if Bianca had taken the regular dose.

From Bianca's situation, Luca could tell that normal medication had no effect on the drug.

"I..." Bianca wanted to speak but stopped just as soon as she spoke. "You're only scaring me."

"Your fever hasn't gotten any better since last night, and it's going to get worse." Luca decided to give her one last warning.
