He looked at the badly injured Luca. She would not be able to eat anything, not even porridge.
With her condition now, she needed someone to feed her little by little.
Johann suggested, "I'll give Dr. Craw an IV drip so she won't feel hungry. But she's lost a lot of blood. She needs to restore her nutrition. You can get someone to prepare some oatmeal for her. You'll have to find a way to make her get used to eating it, or maybe feed her when she's awake. She must eat something."
"Alright." Luke picked up his phone and ordered Mrs. Nancy to prepare some oatmeal to send to the hospital.
Crawford Manor.
Mrs. Nancy told Mr. Griffin that Luca was injured right after she received Luke's order.
Previously, Old Master Crawford and Mr. Griffin had already known that Luca was kidnapped. The old master was worried sick, and he even sent his men to look for her.
Mr. Griffin told Old Master Crawford about the news immediately after he was informed.
Old Master Crawford could barely sit still when he heard Luca had been rescued and she was in the hospital now. He stood up instantly. "Hurry up. Ask Ol' Zander to get the car ready and bring me to the hospital."
The butler reminded him when he saw how anxious the old master was. "Old Master Crawford, Young Master Luke is taking care of her in the hospital. Would you like to wait for a while?'
"Why should I wait? I'm worried about her too." Old Master Crawford was treating Luca like his second granddaughter-in-law. After all, he thought Bianca would probably never come back again.
"Mrs. Nancy is preparing some oatmeal for Ms. Craw now. Why don't you wait until she's done preparing the oatmeal and you can bring it to the hospital with you?" Mr. Griffin suggested. If the old master brought the oatmeal with him, it would seem less odd.
Old Master Crawford thought that there was no need to rush too. He nodded and suddenly remembered that Luca was kidnapped, so he added again, "Did Luke mention who kidnapped her?"
"Young Master Luke didn't say anything about that on the phone. And I guess he wouldn't have told us that either. Why don't you ask him later if you'd like to know?" Mr. Griffin answered.
Old Master Crawford nodded. He looked like he was going to stand up for Luca. "Of course, I'm going to figure it out. I'd like to see who laid their hands on her. I'm not letting them get away with it."
The butler nodded, agreeing with what he said.
Although the old master had not made his approval for Luca known to the public, he could feel his admiration for Luca in his words.
He truly desired to have such an outstanding granddaughter-in-law.
Even though it was unfair to the first wife, a woman who lost her memories and became incapable did not deserve to stand beside Luke.
Mr. Griffin felt troubled when he recalled everything that Bianca had done in the past.
He let out a sigh. It was true that someone would undergo great changes after losing their memories.
Previously, even though Bianca was not capable enough, she was humble, willing to learn, kind, and gentle to everyone. It was enough for her to stand beside Luke.
However, after Bianca lost her memories, her temper and attitude were indeed terrible. Hence, he could understand why the old master liked Luca so much.
After Mrs. Nancy finished preparing the oatmeal, Old Master Crawford carried the thermos flask, got into Zander's car, and went to the hospital.
Luke was slightly startled when he realized his grandfather was the one delivering the oatmeal.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
"Didn't you say Luca is in the hospital? I came to visit and bring the oatmeal here." Old Master Crawford put down the thermos flask filled with oatmeal and walked to the bedside. He was furious when he saw Luca's swollen face and her bandaged forehead.
He hit the floor with his walking cane and said angrily, "Who kidnapped her and made her like this?! I'm going to skin them alive!"
When Luke saw how furious the old master was, he thought it might be best if he let Old Master Crawford stand up for her.
Although he was pretty sure that Pierre was behind this, he needed evidence for that. The police were searching for evidence now. Pierre would be caught eventually.
However, he could only leave this task to the police. The elders of the Mallory family would probably be mad at him if he personally took action.
Living in an era based on evidence, the seniority in families still played an important role.
Therefore, it could be a good idea if Old Master Crawford, someone with higher seniority, sought justice on behalf of Luca.
Thus, Luke said, “It was Pierre Mallory.”
“Pierre Mallory, that bastard, did this?” Old Master Crawford did not expect Pierre to have the guts to lay his hands on Luca. owns all content.
Luke nodded. "We found Luca in Pierre's villa. And I received a short video of him holding Luca hostage. He threatened me to give up the project in Russia."
Old Master Crawford was outraged once he heard that. "We've been maintaining a mutually beneficial partnership with the Mallory family. They would gain something too if you got the project. Does he even know what he's doing? Does he have a death wish?"
The partnership between the Crawford and Mallory families had lasted for three generations.
He never thought that Pierre would cause such big trouble. Were they thinking of ending the partnership?
He would end the partnership even if Pierre dared to bear the consequences.
“This has nothing to do with the Mallory family. Pierre must have established a company of his own out there, and the Mallory family probably knows nothing of it," Luke continued to say.
Percy did not make the matter known to the public because Pierre was his brother, and he would not do anything that would put the Mallory family at a disadvantage. The other family members of the Mallory family were kept in the dark.
Old Master Crawford frowned and asked, "Is there any evidence?"
"Yes." Luke nodded. Percy had given him a copy of the information when he found out something.
Pierre's company was involved in a broader range of businesses. Not only was he in the same business as the Mallory family, but he even ventured into the same business as T Corporation.
His ambitions were wild and obvious.
"Give me the evidence. How dare that bastard do these things behind our backs? He's asking for it." Old Master Crawford was furious.
That was exactly what Luke wanted to hear. He picked up his phone and made a call to give some orders.
"Jason will print it out and give the document to you after half an hour," he said. The evidence that Percy gave him was in a digital file, so they had to print it out.
Old Master Crawford sneered and nodded his head. Then, his gaze fell on Luca again, who was on the bed. "When is she going to wake up? The oatmeal won't taste as good if it goes cold. People often lose their appetite when they're injured. And her body is very weak now, so she must eat more."
Luke explained, "They've given her an IV drip. She's asleep now. Johann said it's better to let her rest more."
"What if she gets hungry?" Old Master Crawford was worried about her condition.
"Don't worry. She has the IV drip." Luke looked at the IV nutrition pack that was slowly being injected into Luca's veins.
