Chapter 1289 Like A Mother Looking At Their Own Child.

Jason wanted to speak up for Luke, but Sue might think he had sold his soul to Luke.

Hence, he had no other choice but to nod and reiterate, "I got it. I'll keep an eye on him. By the way, don't tell anyone else about this. I don't think he wants the Crawford family to know just yet." "Alright. Even though I feel bad for Bianca, I won't tell anyone since you said so," replied Sue. She then looked at the time and urged Jason to sleep. "It's getting late, you should get some rest. Goodbye." "Alright, wait for me," Jason said as she looked at her affectionately.

Sue knew if she did not hang up there and then, he would not either. Hence, she did.

She then looked over to the sisters who were attentively drawing at the other side of the room. She mused for a moment and decided to give Bianca a call.

They drifted further and further apart from each other after Bianca lost her memory.

Sue understood why Bianca did not want to interact with her, so that was why she avoided disturbing her and asking her how she was. However, she could not help herself any longer now.

She held her breath, and after a few seconds, the call went through.

"Hello." Bianca's voice came through the speaker.

Sue said to her, "Bea, it’s me, Sue."

Bianca was stunned when she heard Sue’s voice from the other end of the call. After she pretended to lose her memory, she deliberately distanced herself from Sue and never contacted her. She did not expect a phone call from her.

She asked, "Is anything the matter?"

Sue noticed the coldness in Bianca's voice and felt uncomfortable. She reminisced about the times when the three of them did business together, but now they felt like complete strangers. Bianca did not even say hello, and that made her sad.

Bianca heard nothing from the other side of the line, so she looked at her phone and asked again, "Is anything the matter?" "Oh, it's nothing. Jason said that you're sick and you're in the hospital right now, so I called to ask how you're doing. How are you feeling?" Sue snapped back to her senses. Her voice was neutral but courteous.

"I'm fine," Bianca replied, feeling quite baffled by the sudden question.

Did Sue call just so she could curry favor with her? Jason was Sue's boyfriend, and he was Luke's subordinate, so it would be quite natural for her to do so.

However, that seemed a little too late, right?

Sue then replied, 'That's good, then. By the way, Mr. Crawford brought Jason on a business trip, so I wanted to ask if he has contacted you?"

Bianca knew for a fact that Jason and Sue had some issues. They had daughters together but were not married. It was natural for her not to contact Jason but look for Bianca instead. "No, I think Luke’s really busy, so he didn't call." "Oh, I see. That’s all, then." Sue heard the coldness in Bianca’s voice and decided not to tell her anything.

She felt bad for her, but she felt very uneasy about Bianca's arrogant attitude.

Sue then hung up the call.

After Bianca heard the beeping tone, she suddenly remembered that Luke had not bothered to give her a call these couple of days. He did not even ask her how she was doing.

He did not notify her after arriving at his destination either.

Bianca had not called him as well because she was feeling unwell...

Maybe he was too busy, that was why he forgot...

Bianca looked at the time in America and thought of giving him a call when it was daytime over there. After all, she had to keep on pretending.

After that night.

Luke woke up and noticed that Luca was already awake. She had her back turned toward him as she was looking at Tommy.

He felt that she really liked Tommy. There was some sort of motherly love in her eyes whenever she looked at Tommy. It was like a mother looking at their own child.

Something moved Luke's heartstrings. He sat up. Text content © .

Luca noticed some movements behind her and looked back, "Mr.

Crawford, you're awake."

The way she addressed him reminded him of last night. Even if she did not admit it, he was sure that she had called him by his name...

It seemed very natural when she did that as if they were not strangers at all.

He nodded and replied, "Mm.”

Luca stood up, folded the blanket and the chair, then looked at the patient on the bed. "Do you want to try standing up?”

He was able to walk last night, so he should be able to stand up on his own today.

Luke nodded, pulled the covers away, and swung his legs to the side of the bed.

Luca held her breath as she watched him. She did not step forward.

Luke slowly got down from the bed, straightened his body, and walked a couple of steps. He felt much better than last night. He was not dizzy anymore and his legs had some strength in them.

"How are you feeling?” A look of concern flashed across Luca’s eyes.

"I'm feeling better now," said Luke.

Luca's lips curled upward slightly when she heard that. 'That’s good."

Tommy sat up and looked at them with sleepy eyes. He was delighted when he saw his father get down from the bed. "Daddy, you can get up already."

Luke nodded.

Tommy pulled off the covers and jumped off the sofa. "Are you feeling unwell anywhere else? Don't try to hide it from me." "No, I feel good," replied Luke as he caressed his child. Even though Tommy had not cried these couple of days, Luke knew that he was worried about him.

'That's great! Daddy's fine, Ms. Luca. Daddy's healthy again!" Tommy clapped in excitement when he saw his father standing on his own two feet.

Luca smiled and caressed his head. He seemed to be the happiest about Luke being healthy again.

She was envious of Tommy. When Luke was injured and when he was recovering, Tommy could at least show his concern, sadness, and happiness.

Unlike her, she could only keep those feelings to herself. She could not let others notice anything amiss about her, let alone show her true feelings.

That was because she was Luke's subordinate right now. She would be crossing the line if she did anything more than what was appropriate.

The nurse walked in, saying that she wanted to take a blood sample and check on Luke's condition again.

Luca then brought Tommy to the bathroom to wash up. After they were done, the nurse had already left the room with the blood sample.

Tommy walked toward his father and stared at him. "Daddy, I dreamt of you recovering last night and it came true today. That's just great!"

Luke caressed his hair. The kid was overjoyed, and Luke's heart warmed at the sight of him. He stood up and said, "I’ll go and wash up."
