Chapter 1275 Snake Venom

"He's like this because he's a little hurt. Don't be scared. I'll go downstairs to get something, and I'll be back soon, alright?" Luca comforted Tommy.

Luke had a weak pulse, and he had thrown up earlier. She could not find any other symptoms of his poisoning.

She knew that she could not wake him up, and there were thousands of poisons that could cause the same symptoms. Without being able to know what poison it was, all she could do now was to stabilize Luke's condition.

"Alright," Tommy nodded and said. "I'll look after Daddy here. IV

Luca saw that Tommy was still holding Luke's phone. "Give me the phone."

Tommy trusted Luca, so he handed the phone to her.

Instinctively, Luca entered the passcode she knew Luke last used, and she did not expect to be able to unlock it. "Your Daddy needs to go to the hospital. I'm using the phone to make a phone call, and I'll also go downstairs to get some medicine. Stay here and look after Daddy, alright?" Text content © .

"Mm," Tommy nodded and replied.

As Luca walked out of the room, she dialed Johann's phone number.

"Hey, Luke, don't you know the time now? I was sleeping," Johann grumbled as soon as he picked up the call.

"Sorry, Dr. Park. I'm Luca Craw. Do you remember me?" Luca said.

Johann's eyes instantly widened. He remembered who Luca was, but why was Luca using Luke's phone?

He looked at the phone screen to confirm that the call was indeed made from Luke's phone. "Of course I remember you. Dr. Craw. Is there something?"

"There's something wrong with Mr. Crawford, and he needs to be sent to the hospital now. I know that you're also in New York. Can you arrange something?" Luca said.

Luke's condition needed a specialist. Luca knew that she had to look for Johann's help if she wanted Luke to be cured as soon as possible.

"What's wrong with him?" Johann sat up and said anxiously.

"He's poisoned, but I don't know what poison it is. Later, I'll feed him a pill that I made myself, but I can't say if it'll work on him. Please arrange for an ambulance to come to Washington International Hotel," Luca said.

"Alright, I'll make the necessary arrangements now." Johann jumped out of bed after realizing the severity of the incident. After the call ended, he made a call to the hospital.

Johann's name was renowned throughout the country, so he managed to notify the hospital very quickly. He changed his clothes and rushed over to the hospital.

Luca returned to her room and took out an antidote pill from

her luggage. Then, she quickly went upstairs and fed the pill to Luke.

Tommy was guarding anxiously by the bedside.

Fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Luca quickly went to open the door and saw a team of emergency medics outside. She told them Luke’s situation, and Luke was brought into the ambulance. Luca and Tommy also followed.

Johann had arranged for Luke to be sent to the closest hospital to the hotel. The ambulance arrived at the hospital ten minutes later.

At the hospital, Luca met up with Johann/

"Dr. Park," Luca greeted and nodded at Johann. The dark color on Luke's lips lessened a little after taking the antidote pill, but he remained unconscious.

The antidote pill was not exactly effective, though it managed to stop the spread of the poison.

"Dr. Craw, do you know what happened to him?" Johann frowned when he saw that Luke was unconscious.

"He should be poisoned, but my antidote didn't manage to cure him. I think he needs a toxicology test, but I'm guessing that it's snake venom," Luca said. She knew that her

antidote was least effective against snake venom, and the time the poison took effect was similar to snake venom.

"Alright." Johann nodded and talked to the medics. Soon, a nurse came and took two blood samples from Luke.

Luca could see that the blood that flowed out of Luke's veins was a lot thicker than usual.

She took out a bottle from her pocket and handed it to Johann. "He took a pill earlier. He should take one more."

"Did you make these pills yourself?" Johann said as he took the bottle.

"Yes. It's a general antidote, but it's the least effective against snake venom. That's why I guessed that Luke is affected by snake venom. The pill isn't poisonous, and you can eat it if you want," Luca said.

Johann opened the lid and instantly smelled herbs.

He poured a pill onto his palm and looked at Luca. Eventually, he placed his trust in Luca and fed Luke a pill.

"Why is he poisoned?" Johann asked.

"I got into some trouble while walking on the street. Mr.

Crawford stepped in to help me, and he got hurt. He was cut by a knife that was coated in snake venom," Luca said while looking at Tommy.

She felt immensely guilty that the little boy had to go through that. He must be so worried...

Johann was surprised that Luke would help her.

He remembered that Luke had helped her at the party. This was the second time...

It seemed that Luke's relationship with her was more than just her boss.

Johann noticed the knife wound on Luke's arm. "Is that the cut?"

"Yes. The color of his blood was normal when I dressed the wound, so I didn't think of that possibility," Luca said.

"Did you use any medication for the wound?" Johann asked.

"Yes, I did. It's a powder that I made myself. It's useful for healing open wounds, and it has no side effects. If you don't trust me, you can take a sample of the powder for analysis. I can guarantee you that it's perfectly safe," Luca said.

Johann shook his head. "It's not that I don't trust you, but it's too much of a coincidence. In any case, we can talk about that after Luke wakes up."

Luca knew that Johann was suspecting her, but she did not bother to explain herself.

If they wanted to analyze the powder, she was not afraid anyway.

Tommy was holding Luca's hand tightly as he listened to the conversation between the two adults. "Uncle Johann, will my Daddy be alright?"

Johann could see the worry in Luca's eyes. Was she worried about Luke?

He turned his gaze toward the child and said, "He's going to be fine. We're here to help him."

Half an hour later, Johann received the toxicology test report. Indeed, it was snake venom.

The snake was an uncommon species native to the area. Fortunately, the hospital happened to have the serum for it. Johann frowned as he read through the report. "Are you saying that two college kids injured him?"

"Mm." While waiting for the toxicology report, Luca had told Johann about the incident, including the identities of the people who had injured Luke.

"That's strange," Johann said with a frown. "The snake is quite rare even though it's native to this region. Don't tell me that two college kids have access to the black market!"

Luca thought that Johann did not believe her. She continued, "The Swiss army knife is in the police station now. If you don't believe me, you can get the knife tested."
