“The hotel covers a wide range of services. It’s humanized. I don’t want to trouble Mr. Crawford.” Step by step, Luca felt like she was falling into Abel’s plan. What made her want to cry was that Abel and Johann were both contributing to it.
Johann’s intentions were kind but they were bad news for her…
Johann saw that she was unwilling to budge, and Luke did not speak. Hence, he continued talking, “Where’s the trouble? Right, Mr. Crawford?”
Luke stared at him coldly and asked, “Can she be discharged?”
Johann cursed at Luke in his heart for ignoring his goodwill when Luke did not answer his question and asked about something else instead. Johann smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll issue a receipt and she can leave after settling the bill.”
After he said that, he turned around and left. At this point, the two sides were unwilling to make a move and he could not do much as a bystander.
Luca heard that she had to make a payment. She looked up at Luke and asked, “Mr. Crawford, have you seen my bag?”
Luke remembered that the ambulance had sent Luca to the hospital without her bag. When she was hospitalized, he asked Jason to retrieve her personal information from the company’s database for the admission procedures.
All of this was against the rules, but with Johann involved, it did not become an issue.
He shook his head and said, “I was in a rush when I brought you to the hospital. I didn’t bring your bag.”
When Luca heard that, she said, “I have no money to pay the bill… My credit card and phone are all in my bag.”
“I’ll sort out the bill,” Luke said as he walked out of the ward.
Luca wanted to leave the hospital as soon as possible so she had no choice but to get Luke’s help to pay first. After she was discharged from the hospital and felt better, she would transfer the money back to him.
Luke walked into Johann’s office. He was preparing Luca’s receipt.
When Johann saw Luke coming in, he could not help but say, “I gave you an opening but you didn’t cherish it. A fool can’t be taught.”
“What were you giving me an opening for?” Luke stood there and watched him condescendingly as he prepared the receipt.
“I…” Johann raised his head and saw the man’s indifference. He immediately shut up and thought that it was pointless to say anything more as Luke may have his plans.
“Give me ten minutes. She can be discharged after I finish the report,” he said.
Luke did not rush him. He stood there watching Johann writing the report.
Ten minutes later, the printer sounded. Johann picked up the printed report and the discharge slip that he had approved. He handed them to Luke and said, “Dr. Craw is not doing too well. It’s risky to have her stay alone.”
Luke did not say a word. He took the documents and walked away.
Johann shrugged his shoulders and muttered, “If you can get a woman like this, I’ll be damned!”
Luke turned around and glared at him.
Johann shivered and quickly explained, “I’m just talking nonsense. Mr. short of women around you.”
Luke’s gaze grew colder as he continued to glare at Johann.
Johann hurriedly stood up and said, “I’m going to do my rounds. I haven’t slept all night. After the rounds, I’ll get off work.”
Luke did not say anything and left.
After he was done with the discharge procedures, Luke walked in with the documents and said, “Let’s go, the discharge procedures are completed.”
“Okay.” Luca has changed her clothes with the help of the nurse.
She was wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she was admitted. The spot that Abel hit did not have much blood flow, so her clothes were clean.
Luke walked behind and helped push the wheelchair for her.
Luca felt him approaching and smelled the faint tobacco scent on his body. Her heartbeat accelerated as she diverted her attention by talking about something else. “Mr. Crawford, can you give me the receipt? I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“The company buys insurance for all employees. I’ll give the receipt to Mr. Doyle and he’ll make a claim,” Luke said while pushing the wheelchair. He did not plan to pass her the receipt.
Luca thought to herself that it was too much to involve Jason in a menial task as such.
After they arrived at the underground parking, Luke found his car and opened the passenger seat door.
Luca was thinking about propping herself up and getting in but Luke stopped her. “Don’t move.”
She stopped moving immediately and could only stare at the man with a blank expression.
Luke bent over, princess-carried her, and said, “You know your situation.”
Luca leaned in his arms and did not struggle hard because she knew that she would feel uncomfortable if she insisted on keeping her distance after being carried by him.
Luke picked her up and kicked the wheelchair to the side, then placed Luca in the car.
She sat there, and when she saw that Luke was about to buckle her seat belt, she quickly said, “I can do it myself.”
Luke drove a sports car that had limited space. He had leaned half of his body in. They were too close to each other. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
After he heard what she said, Luke glanced at her and let her do it on her own.
He got out of the car and closed the passenger’s door. He then walked around the front of the car to the driver’s seat, opened the door, and got in.
After he put on the seat belt, Luca said softly, “Mr. Crawford, you can just send me to the hotel near my apartment.”
Luke did not say anything and started the car.
Seeing that he did not answer, Luca thought he had agreed.
After they were some distance away, she realized that Luke was not driving toward the apartment but in the opposite direction.

“Mr. Crawford?” Before she could continue, Luke knew what she was going to say and asked directly, “Do you have your ID card?”
“…” She did not…
“How can you check into a hotel without your ID?” Luke continued to ask.
Luca thought about his words. It seemed like he wanted to arrange a place for her. After all, her documents were all in the apartment. Her apartment was under lockdown, so she could not go in even if she was the owner…
Without an ID card, nothing could be done.
Luca suddenly thought of something and asked, “I don’t have an ID card, so how did I get hospitalized?”
“Johann got you in through the back door and we went through the admission procedures with the company’s copy of your documents,” Luke explained.
Luca understood the situation.
She could go through the back door because Luke had a contact in the hospital. With Johann as a guarantee and her passport number, she went through the admission procedures with ease.
However, in the hotel, there was no back door for her to walk through.
Luca was a little desperate as she did not have any friends in A City. All she could think of was Nina and Sue.
However, she could not bother either of them.
One had a child and was overwhelmed with work, while the other was dating Percy Mallory. She did not want to be a third wheel.
