Old Master Crawford glared at her while listening to her complaints. He was not in the mood to argue with her. He gave his orders to the butler, “Drive Thea to her competition venue and don't delay her."

“Yes, Old Master Crawford." Mr. Griffin nodded and gave him his promise.

Susan stopped complaining when she heard that.

On the other hand.

Luke hurried to the hospital. Johann had received the footage that night through his connections. He pressed on the play button when he saw Luke come in.

Luke's face turned gloomy when he watched the video of the incident from the beginning till the end. “Was he caught?"

"No. He's good. The security guards upstairs informed the guards downstairs to catch him if they saw him. Still, they didn't manage to grab him and he escaped. This man was wearing a mask and a cap. We can't get a good look at him," said Johann as he shook his head.

“He's not one of Percy's men." Luke looked at how nimble the man was in the video. He avoided the guards' pursuit and escaped from the hospital swiftly. Then, that was the end of it.

"Are you sure?"Johann raised his eyebrows.

"He's too good. Percy doesn't have anyone like that." Luke was sure about it. "I'm afraid this man is one of the members of the organization that's manipulating Luca behind the scenes.

Johann suddenly understood and asked, “Hasn't Dr. Craw already been rescued? Why did someone from the organization show up here?"

Luke fell silent. He had no idea about that either.

They made Luca change her appearance and return here. They hid her true identity and made arrangements for her to get into his company. They were up to something.

Therefore, their plan must have something to do with him.

The first thing that came into Luke's mind was the Island of Despair. However, there was no tattoo on Luca's body. He was not 100 percent sure about it.

He stood up and headed outside.

Johann asked, “Where are you going?"

“To the ward." Luke left without looking back.

He came to the ward and stood there for half a minute. Then, he pushed the door open slowly.

Nina was helping Luca brush her teeth and wash her face. She was being utmost careful because Luca's face was still swollen.

“Grab my hand if it hurts," Nina said in a soft voice.

Luca closed her eyes and allowed Nina to help.

When she heard someone pushing the ward's door open, she opened her eyes and saw Luke walking into the ward.

Nina turned around and looked at the door too. She paused what she was doing when she saw him. There was a hint of mockery in her words as she said, "Mr. Crawford, you're here way too early."

The expression on Luke's face was gloomy as he looked at the enigmatic Nina. He could not be bothered to deal with her since she did not know the truth. He went straight to Luca's bedside and asked caringly, "Are you feeling better?"

Luca nodded her head. She could sense there was a hint of tension between Luke and Nina. She reckoned that it was because of her.

She typed a sentence on her phone: [Mr. Crawford, what brought you here?]

Luke's face turned even darker looking at how awkward she was being. He explained, "A man came into your ward last night. I came to find out what happened."

Nina wrung the towel dry and asked, "You came to find out what happened? Are you a cop?"

Luke gave Nina a dirty look. It was clear she was in a bad mood now and that was why she was intentionally picking on him.

She was down in the dumps and it was because of Percy. He refused to be the target of Nina's temper, so he said, "Luca is my employee, and she's in this situation because of the company's matter. Is there anything wrong with me being concerned about her condition?"

Nina rolled her eyes. "Let the police officers handle the investigation. Save yourself the trouble. Oh, you said Luca is in this situation because of your company's matters. If that's the case, why didn't you get someone to stay here to protect her? How could you let her experience such a terrifying thing?" copyrighted © content.

Luke was speechless at Nina's retort. He indeed thought that it was not the right choice to let her stay here alone.

Luca listened to them arguing with each other, yet she could not stop their conversation at all.

She could only take the face towel that Nina had wrung dry and clean her face quietly. Even though she could not look at herself, she managed to avoid the wound on her face.

Her gestures caught their attention.

"Let me help you," said Luke.

"Let me do it," said Nina at the same time.

Luca shook her head, telling them she would do it herself. She wiped her face gently before putting the face towel back in Nina's hands.

Johann pushed the door open and came in at this time. He had no idea what was going on here, so he looked at Luca happily and asked, "Dr. Craw, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Luca shook her head, indicating that she did not feel uncomfortable.

"That's great. You can try lying down halfway today but just to be safe, don't get out of bed yet." Johann spoke before noticing the expressions of the other two people.

The expression on Luke's face was considered fine, but Nina looked like she could tear someone into pieces.

Johann made eye contact with Luke to ask what was going on.

Luke only gave him a cold stare.

Johann cleared his throat and said, “Oh, the police sent someone here to look into the incident last night. And Percy will be coming here too. He said he's here to see if the man who came into the ward is his younger brother's subordinate."

Nina's expression changed once she heard Percy's name. At first, she wanted to stay here and continue to take care of Luca. However, she immediately found an excuse. "Luca, I have something to do. I'll come back again tonight. Gotta go. Bye."

Luca was speechless as she watched Nina grab her bag hurriedly and leave.

She picked up her phone and asked: [Was the man who came into the ward caught?]

"No, he was too fast. He was so fast that a dozen guards couldn't even keep up with his pace. Oh, didn't you realize when he came into the ward?" Johann asked. She would certainly know it if that person came here to look for her.

Luca looked down and typed on the keyboard of her phone screen calmly: [I took medicine last night and was feeling sleepy. I was deep asleep, that's why I didn't realize anything. Is he one of Percy's men?]

"Not sure. He could be, or he could not. There's another possibility too, which is he came in to steal." Johann was talking a lot. He turned to look at Luke.

"Leave this to the police." Luke picked up the face towel in the washtub, wrung it dry, and handed it to Luca. "Wipe yourself again."

This was her habit. She would wash her face twice every time.

Luca took it and wiped her face quietly.

Luke picked up the medicine on the bedside cabinet after she finished wiping her face. "Is this the one?"

The wound on Luca's forehead and the bruises on her face would need to be redressed. Johann raised his brows and asked, "Are you going to dress the wound for Dr. Craw yourself?"

"Can she do it herself, then?" Luke shot a glance at the woman lying on the bed. It was a difficult task for him to try and hold back the tenderness in his eyes.

He wanted to find out who was manipulating Luca. That was why he was not allowed to reveal the true emotions in his heart.
