After he exited the call, Luke subconsciously opened the window that displayed the surveillance footage.
Luca was no longer in her office. It was likely that she was off doing research.
There was nothing to look at in the empty office. Luke turned off the surveillance and picked up the cold take-out box on the side. After he took a few bites, he stopped eating.
The delicious lunch was no longer so after it had cooled. He was always picky about food so he did not continue eating it.
Luke threw the take-out box into the trash can, took a sip of the cold coffee, and continued to work.
After half an hour.
Jason appeared at the door of the laboratory. Instead of walking in, he stood there and said to the people inside, “Hello, can you please call for Dr. Craw?”
One of the researchers heard him and said to Rhett, “Mr. Link, Mr. Doyle is looking for Dr. Craw.”
Rhett looked up from the microscope, saw Jason at the door, and immediately stood up. “Dr. Craw is in the cultivation room. Mr. Doyle, wait a moment, I’ll go get her now.”
“Okay,” Jason nodded and stayed outside of the laboratory.
Rhett walked into the cultivation room and informed Luca that Jason was looking for her.
She walked out without a second’s thought and saw Jason standing at the entrance of the laboratory. She took off her protective clothing, walked over, and asked, “Mr. Doyle, what can I help you with?”
“Dr. Craw, can we step aside to speak?” Jason did not immediately explain why he was there.
Luca nodded and looked at the researchers in the laboratory. They were pretending to be busy with their research but she knew that each of them had their ears pricked up so that they could find out why Jason was looking for Luca.
When they saw her turn around, they turned their focus back to their work as if they had received a warning signal.
“Let’s talk in my office?” Luca said. Although her office was being monitored, she was certain that Jason had Luke’s permission to look for her.
Jason nodded and the two of them walked to Luca’s office. Before they got there, he tugged on her sleeve.
Luca was puzzled by his sudden action.
“Dr. Craw, we don’t need to go back to your office. Just come with me.” With that, Jason turned around and walked toward the elevator.
Luca could hear the anxiety in his tone. She asked, “What happened?”
“You’ll find out later.” Jason did not share any information.
Although Luca was confused, she kept up with him. She could not help but ask, “Can you at least tell me where you’re taking me?”
“The CEO’s office,” Jason said as he pressed the elevator button.
Luca stopped dead in her tracks. It was because they had reached the elevator’s entrance and also because of what he said. : owner of this content.
‘Why are we going to Luke’s office?’
When the elevator arrived on their floor, the elevator doors opened. Jason walked in and turned around. He saw that Luca had no intention of coming in and even had doubts on her face. He said, “Dr. Craw, the boss needs you.”
He did not share what had happened to Luke and just said that he needed her. Luca had no choice but to walk into the elevator and watched as Jason pressed the button. It was indeed the floor where Luke’s office was located.
Luca looked at her reflection on the metal elevator doors. She was worried and had doubts.
‘The worry in Jason’s eyes is real. What happened to Luke? Why does he need me?’
As she was still thinking about it, the elevator reached Luke’s floor and the doors slowly opened.
There was no one outside the elevator. When Luca walked out, she thought Luke would be there but she and Jason were the only ones in the corridor.
She glanced back at Jason.
Jason explained, “Dr. Craw, the boss is in his office now.”
Luca knew where Luke’s office was but this was her ‘first time’ on the floor. She could not seem like she knew her way around.
She looked at Jason and said, “Please lead the way.”
Jason nodded, walked out of the elevator, and led the way.
When he arrived at Luke’s office, he knocked on the door, then opened it. He walked in.
Luca followed him and walked into the office. She subconsciously looked at Luke’s desk but did not see Luke there. Her eyes fell on the sofa and she saw Luke lying there.
“What happened to Mr. Crawford?” she asked.
Luke heard her voice, opened his eyes slightly, and then closed them again. He knew that Jason would explain the whole situation to her.
Jason explained, “The boss has a stomach problem. Dr. Craw, you’re skilled in the medical field. Can you help him?”
When Luca heard that Luke was sick, her heartstrings were tugged. She wanted to check on him but she stopped abruptly.

‘If I step forward now, will it seem like I care for him too much?’
Luca suppressed her instinct to immediately go over to Luke and asked, “Did Mr. Crawford have anything for lunch?”
“I don’t know.” Jason shook his head. He brought him take-out but he guessed that Luke did not eat it. They were in a meeting and he did not see him eat.
It was embarrassing for him to say that his boss had a stomachache because he did not eat lunch.
Luca did not hear Luke’s answer and had a rough idea of what was going on. She asked, “Do you have any medicine for gastric?”
“The boss took medicine half an hour ago but it seems that it has no effect on the pain. Dr. Craw, please help him relieve the pain. If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to send him to the hospital.” Jason saw that her reaction was calm and quickly stepped in.
“I don’t want to go to the hospital,” Luke said immediately when he heard that Jason wanted to send him to the hospital.
Luca heard how stubborn he was. ‘The pain is overwhelming yet he refuses to go to the hospital for the sake of his image.’
She sighed in her heart, leaned slightly, and put her hand on his pulse.
Luke felt a sense of warmth and opened his eyes slightly. He happened to see her beautiful face as she took his pulse intently.
He closed his eyes again.
Luca stood up straight and said, “If the pain can’t be relieved even after taking the medicine, the other option is to change the medicine. However, it’s not the best option to change to another medicine so quickly. How about this? Mr. Doyle, please go to the pharmacy and get some needles.”
“Needles?” Jason was stunned.
Luca nodded and answered, “The needles for dry needling are available in the pharmacy. Buy the ones from Seirin.”
“Okay.” Jason nodded and immediately walked out of the office. There was a pharmacy nearby and it would only take him ten minutes to and fro.
“Mr. Crawford, did you not eat today?” Luca stood up straight and sat on the single-seater sofa on the other side.
Luke did not open his eyes, he just said, “Mm.”
Luca asked, “In addition to not eating, did you drink coffee?”
Coffee was necessary to maintain Luke’s stamina. She knew about it and just wanted confirmation.
“Yeah,” Luke’s voice remained low.
