Luke closed his eyes and lay on the bed. His face looked awful because he was feeling dizzy. "You help me with it."
Luca knew he was already at his limit and did not hesitate and helped him get his face washed. Then, she lowered the bed.
The head of the bed was slowly lowered and after Luke felt much better, he said, "That's the way."
Luca's action came to a halt. She got up and said, "I'll go and pour the water away, Mr. Crawford. Then, only I'll serve you the breakfast."
"Alright." Luke closed his eyes. He had yet to recover from the dizziness he had from earlier and just laid there quietly. Original from .
Luca carried the basin to the toilet and poured the water away. Then, she squeezed the towel dry and hung it on the hanger to dry it.
She walked out of the bathroom and looked at Luke.
Earlier he was still having a pale look and currently, he looked much better. She knew he was feeling much better. Hence, she opened up the lunch box and softly asked, "Do you want some porridge, Mr. Crawford?"
Luke had no appetite, but Luca went through the cold weather outside just to buy the porridge for him and he could not afford to let her effort go to waste. "Alright."
Initially, Luca wanted to sit at the side of the bed and feed him, but such a distance would be too intimating. Hence, she moved the chair and sat at the side of the bed. She held onto a spoon and started feeding Luke the porridge.
She was being patient and after letting the porridge cool down, served it to Luke.
He went with the flow and opened his mouth to eat it.
With each spoon fed, and after Luke had finished half the bowl of porridge, only he said, "I had enough."
"Alright." Luca nodded and took the porridge away.
Only then, she walked into the bathroom and started brushing her teeth. Then, she ate her breakfast.
Luke lay on the hospital bed and raised his hand.
Luca saw it and immediately got up to ask, "What are you doing, Mr. Crawford?"
"Where is my handphone?" Luke said softly. When facing Luca, he was unable to speak sternly. The anger he was having yesterday had pretty much cooled down.
Luca placed her breakfast down and took out the handphone from the drawer at the head of the bed. "Yesterday, Mr. Mallory helped put your handphone inside here."
Luke took it and unlocked the password and read through the unread messages.
He clicked into it and there were Jason and Tina's messages. There were also Percy's messages and the messages from the kids.
Luke clicked into the kids' messages first. It was sent in the morning, and they told him that Luca had left.
He lifted his eyes and looked at Luca before him. Perhaps she did not want the kids to be worried and had made the arrangements yesterday. Hence, they were clueless about it. At that moment, she was right before him.
Luke did not reply to them and continued reading other messages.
Percy's messages were all nonsense, asking him to grab hold of this rare chance.
He purposely deleted all of his messages so that Luca would not be suspicious in the future.
Lastly, only he clicked into Jason's message.
Perhaps it was Percy who had notified him, Jason knew that Luke was admitted to the hospital. Hence, he came to greet him intentionally.
Luke squinted his eyes. Despite being dizzy at that moment, he still got to work. After all, he could not afford to delay the project.
Hence, he gave Jason a ton of job lists to be done.
Luca was eating her breakfast while looking at Luke holding onto his handphone. She knew he was currently doing his work and felt sorry for him.
Outsiders all viewed him as a grand person but only Luca knew that Luke had sacrificed so much of his rest just to develop T Corporation throughout the past few years.
Even if he fell sick, or how great the Crawford family was, he would not forget to work. All just to make sure the company would have a better future. After all, only the strongest ones would not be picked on, and able to stand firm at the top in the society, and not be looked down on by others.
He was that sort of person.
His target was to make the T Corporation stronger and with this target in mind, not only did it reward him fame and status, but also fortune. In the meantime, it guaranteed the life of many people who were working hard in A City.
His pride was all a result of his hard work, and his effort made others live a better life.
However, all these, only she knew about it and no one knew a thing about it.
Luca sighed within her. After some time, her handphone rung.
She took it out to have a look at it and it was a message from Jason.
He was asking whether she needed his help.
Luca was guessing perhaps it was Luke who told Jason something. Hence, Jason knew about her staying by his side, taking care of Luke.
She thought for a moment and replied, [Can I trouble you to make a trip over to the villa to help me get my office bag? Also, can you bring the documents that needed to be settled for today as well? Thanks.]
Jason replied very fast. [No problem. I'll go get it for you this instant.]
After 45 minutes, Jason showed up in Luke's ward, with Tina following behind, and both of them were holding a bunch of items.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford, Dr. Craw." They both called out simultaneously.
Luca got up and took the initiative to take the bag over from Tina. "Thank you."
Tina had a serious look. Given it was any usual day, for sure she would be smiling but currently, Luke was still lying on the hospital bed, if she were to smile, perhaps it might not be too appropriate. "Dr. Craw, this is my responsibility. The packet you're holding is a change of clean clothes that I brought over for you. Also, this bag is your office bag and the documents that you need to settle for today."
Luca took out the office bag and there were still documents from yesterday that were yet to settle. However, it was not much, and she should be able to overcome it.
After all, she was supposed to take care of Luke.
Even though he was picky, he was easier to look after compared to other patients. That was because apart from his basic needs, most of his time was spent on work.
She glanced at the remaining documents and asked, puzzled, "That's all for today that I'm supposed to handle?"
Tina nodded and explained, "That's because you got to take care of Mr. Crawford. So, I've made Alya take up most of the work."
"Everyone in the company knew about it?" Luca lowered her voice. She looked at the bed and noted Jason was reporting the work progress to Luke.
"Rest assured, Mr. Doyle and I didn't intentionally tell the outsiders. Maybe soon they will come to know that Mr. Crawford met with an accident, but they won't know you're here looking after him," Tina quickly said as she knew what she was worried about.
Luca nodded.
Things between her and Luke were pretty complicated, and it had caused the workers in the company to make all sorts of predictions. Many of them thought that it was a fact that she did it for her profit.
They all thought there really was something going on between her and Luke.
However, she did her very best to maintain a distance making them make wild guesses but having no evidence to prove.
If they were to find out that she was currently taking care of Luke, for sure they would think everything was the truth after all and started gossiping behind their backs.
Even though she could not take control of the words that other people said, she still felt uncomfortable having others gossiping behind her back.
"Also, I've got you covered. I said you'll be working at Watson for the time being. So, you won't be in T Corporation. They will not suspect a thing." Tina thought through things. 'It seems like Mr. Crawford's leg had been put on a cement cast. For sure Luca will have to stay by his side to look after him. It's only natural that she can't return to the company.'
