Chapter 1287 He Felt Warm And Nostalgic
Luke watched them sitting there quietly reading their books and suddenly had a thought. ‘Peace is a blessing.’
They were not blood-related but they could be as affectionate as a mother and child. He felt warm and nostalgic.
At ten o'clock, Tommy yawned loudly.
Luca glanced at the time and smiled softly. Tommy's yawn was always punctual. She lowered her head and looked at the child tenderly, then asked in a soft voice, "Sleepy?"
Tommy nodded to indicate that he was sleepy.
"Go, take a shower before you sleep," Luca said as she picked up the newly bought clothes and held his hand again.
Tommy obediently walked into the bathroom with her.
After Luke watched Luca close the bathroom door, he pressed the bell.
"Sir, are you alright?" the nurse walked in and asked politely. Johann specially told her that he must take good care of him, so the nurse was especially concerned.
"Please get me a blanket," Luke said.
"Okay. Is the air conditioner too cold?" the nurse asked.
"It's for my child," Luke replied.
"Okay, I'll get it for you now." The nurse immediately walked out of the ward and brought him a blanket. "Should I place it on the sofa?" "Yeah." Luke nodded.
"I assume that your wife and child will accompany you tonight? Is this sofa big enough forthem? If necessary, we can add a chair," the nurse said.
"Okay." Luke remembered that when he woke up this morning, Luca was curled up on the sofa. If she moved a little, she would have fallen to the floor. Even so, she still gave Tommy enough space to sleep.
The nurse moved quickly and arranged for someone to put an accompanying chair in the ward. She also grabbed another blanket. Belongs to - All rights reserved.
After Luca helped Tommy bathe, she saw an accompanying chair and two blankets in the ward.
"This..." She glanced at Luke and asked, "This is what you ordered the nurse to prepare?" "The nurse knew that someone would be staying the night and arranged for it." Luke looked at her. His deep-set eyes did not reveal much emotion. He concealed the fact that he was the one who asked the nurse to prepare these things.
He felt uncomfortable seeing Luca curled up on the sofa this morning. Besides being uncomfortable, he felt an inexplicable surge of warmth in his heart.
She listened and nodded. She was glad that the nurse was kind enough to do so. She then returned to the bathroom with a bag.
Luca packed the clothes that Tommy had changed out of and planned to take them back to the hotel to have them cleaned. She then walked out with the bag.
Tommy was beside her and he yawned again. "Ms. Luca, I'm sleepy."
Luca put the bag away, touched his head, and asked, "Then, do you want to sleep in the chair or the sofa?"
Tommy glanced at the sofa, then at the chair. He pointed to the sofa and said, "I'm young, I'll sleep on the sofa. Ms. Luca, it’s uncomfortable for you to curl up on the sofa."
The corners of Luca's lips rose a little when she heard how considerate Tommy was.
The sofa in the ward was small and only suitable for sitting. She had to curl her legs when she lay down, which was very uncomfortable.
She unfolded the blanket. After Tommy took off his shoes and lay down, she helped tuck him in. She then pushed the coffee table over.
"What are you doing?" Luke was puzzled when he saw her.
Luca explained, "It's not safe to let him sleep on the sofa. If he wakes up in the middle of the night, he can easily fall off the sofa.”
As she spoke, she pushed the small coffee table aside, then moved the escort chair to the side of the sofa. She unfolded and flattened the handle near the sofa.
Luke watched her and was happy that this arrangement meant that Tommy would not fall off the sofa even if he woke up at night. It was good to have Luca by his side.
She was very thoughtful.
Tommy lay on the sofa, smiling as he said, "Ms. Luca, good night. Daddy, good night." "Good night." "Good night."
The two said in unison. Luca sat in the escort chair and was taken aback. They always did the same when they coaxed Tommy to sleep before she went missing.
She looked at the hospital bed and noticed that Luke was still focused on dealing with his documents. It was almost 11 o'clock and the corridors of the hospital became quiet.
Luca thought for a while and said, "Mr. Crawford, you should resume your work tomorrow. What you need now is rest."
Luke glanced at the time and nodded without saying anything. He lowered the hospital bed, put down the files, and slowly lay down.
Seeing this, Luca got out of the escort chair barefoot and walked to the light switch. She turned the lights off.
When Luke saw her feet, his body became inexplicably warm. With a click, the lights were switched off. The room was instantly dark, and there was nothing to see.
In the dark, Luca did not feel uncomfortable as she quickly walked to the side of the chair. The surrounding darkness seemed to not affect her vision.
She lay down slowly, turned her back to the hospital bed, and gently placed one hand on the sofa. She remembered that Tommy would feel insecure when sleeping in an unfamiliar environment, so she did this to help him sleep more peacefully.
Last night, Luca did not get any sleep. Luca gradually closed her eyes listening to the sounds of Luke and Tommy’s breathing. She could still smell the disinfectant but it was mixed with Tommy's scent. It made her feel more at ease. After a while, she fell deeply asleep.
In the middle of the night, a small sound surprised Luca. She opened her eyes subconsciously and sat up, only to find that the light was turned on.
She looked at the bed and found that Luke had turned on the bedside lamp. His legs were hanging off the bed as if he was about to get up.
"Lu..." Luca was stunned when she opened her mouth. She closed her mouth abruptly after only uttering a word.
She was confused and almost called him Luke.
Luke heard her and looked calm, waiting for her to speak.
Luca's heart beat faster. Her subconsciousness made her seem off. After clearing her throat, she said, "Mr. Crawford, what's wrong?" "I want to go to the toilet," Luke said. He had an urge to go and wanted to slowly get out of bed. He tried his best not to disturb her, but unexpectedly, she woke up after only a small sound.
She was a light sleeper, just like him.
Luca immediately stood up and said softly, "I'll get a wheelchair." "No, I want to walk," Luke said. He had gotten many hours of rest and thought that his condition would have improved compared to the day before.
Luca glanced at the time and thought that he should be able to get out of bed by now. However, she felt uneasy so she said, "I’ll help you."
Luke did not refuse her help and just nodded.
