She spoke to him in a gentle voice just like how she used to speak to him before. Luke looked up and stared at her. A warm feeling arose between them when their gazes met each other's.

Luca quickly lowered her head and placed the documents properly after she met Luke's gaze.

Luke finished drinking the glass of water and noticed that Luca was still busy arranging the pile of documents. He said calmly, "Coffee tastes better."

Luca knew Luke was craving coffee again. She paused what she was doing and took the glass from him, putting it back where it was. "Mr. Crawford, it's better to have plain water now."

"Am I not allowed to have any coffee?" Luke frowned. He only had a fractured bone. He was not sick at all.

"Yes. You can have milk or juice if you think plain water is tasteless," said Luca deliberately. Juice or milk was not Luke's top choice even if there was no coffee.

Luke enjoyed drinking coffee. Apart from that, he would drink plain water and wine. Luca knew his preferences like the back of her hand.

"Fine." Luke was indeed not interested in either of them. Luca smiled subtly as she seldom saw Luke surrendering to her.

Luca placed Luke's laptop on the other side of the bed after she arranged the documents. It was for the nurse's convenience when she came to give Luke the injection. That way, his things would not hold her up.

Luca returned to the sofa after that. She placed her personal belongings that Tina had helped to bring over into an empty cabinet. Then, she turned on the laptop and began to work.

The ward became quiet again. Luca sat on the sofa, reading the documents and typing the translations on her laptop.

Luca asked Tina for Alya's email after she finished translating a document. Then, she sent the translated document to her and continued to translate another one.

Luke did not make a fuss anymore. He would only occasionally lift his head to glance at Luca when he was reading the documents.

It set his mind at ease whenever he saw her figure in the ward as it would remind him that she was here.

Although it was embarrassing to be involved in a car accident this time, it was worth it.

The nurse came in and saw Luke handling the documents. She reminded him with a gentle voice, "Mr. Crawford, based on your condition now, it's better for you to get some rest. Don't overwork yourself."

"Okay." Luke did not look up. He put his arm on the bedside for the nurse to give him the injection.

The nurse saw the piles of documents on the bedside table and glanced at Luca. The documents with Luca were not that many, but she was busy working too.

Although they were in the hospital, it seemed like they came to work there. If it had not been for the cast on Luke's leg, the nurse would have thought they were here to visit another patient. They even brought their documents along to work on them.

The nurse remained silent. After all, she could not afford to offend the patients staying in the VIP wards.

She gave Luke the injection and adjusted the rate of flow of the IV drip. Then, she reminded Luke. "Please remember to rest and don't burn yourself out."

Luke did not say a word.

Luca lifted her head, smiled at the nurse, and said, "Alright. Thank you."

The nurse nodded and left the ward without saying another word.

Luke picked up the laptop beside him after he finished working on one of the documents. He typed on the keyboard of the laptop, replying to an email and attaching a document.

He typed quickly on the keyboard. Luca looked at the needle on the back of his hand. Based on the speed of his hands, he would soon have to change to another new needle.

"Please pass me another folder." Luke knew Luca was looking at him, so he said directly.

Luca nodded and put down the document she was holding. She went to get the folder at the top of the piles of documents and handed it to Luke.

Luke placed the laptop on his thighs, took the folder from Luca, and said calmly, "Thank you."

Luca fell silent for a moment and said stiffly, "You're welcome."

She placed the document he had finished working on in another spot so that he would not mix it up.

Luke noticed what she did.

The woman who knew his habits so well but refused to admit her true identity. That sounded a little ironic.

Luca did not say anything when she saw him continue working on the documents. Hence, she returned to the sofa without a word and continued with her translation.

However, it was uncomfortable to sit on the sofa as Luca needed to use the laptop. She had to bend her waist with this seating posture.

She would accidentally place pressure on her wound that had almost recovered whenever she bent down.

However, Luca could not sit on the floor.

Luca pursed her lips. Then, she eventually found a more comfortable sitting position and continued to work. Têxt © .

The maid came to deliver lunch when it was noontime.

Luke did not pretend to be sick. He ate his lunch himself.

Luca did not ask him if he needed to be fed when she saw him eating his lunch. After all, Luke could eat lunch himself. There was no need for her to do things like that if he did not ask her.

The maid looked at the two of them and asked, “Mr. Crawford, Ms. Luca, what would you like to have for dinner tonight?" "I'm fine with anything." Luke was not craving anything. It was because the food he ate would all taste the same if it was not Luca who prepared them. It would not taste special, and it would not make him look forward to it.

The maid turned to look at Luca.

“Something light. Please make some bone broth if that's possible. It's good for the bones," answered Luca.

The maid frowned with embarrassment and said, "Ms. Luca, do you know how to prepare bone broth? I've never made that before. I'm not sure how to."

"I'll send you the recipe later. It's simple." Luca picked up her phone and sent the recipe to the maid. "Don't buy the ingredients at the supermarket or the market. You must head to the fresh market to get them. The quality of the ingredients is better there."

"Okay. I'll go get the ingredients now." The maid packed the thermos bottle and brought it out with her.

Luca glanced at the time, only to see that it was almost time for Luke to take his medicine. She walked toward the ward bed and took some pills out from the container that the nurse gave earlier. Then, she grabbed a glass of warm water and said, "Mr. Crawford, after you take your pills, it's time for your afternoon nap."

Luke had been working on the documents since he had his lunch.

Luke took the pills that were on Luca's palm and stuffed them in his mouth. Then, he drank the warm water and swallowed the pills.

There were seven or eight pills in total. Luke did not even frown when he swallowed them.

There was an indescribable feeling surging in Luca's heart.

"Do you want me to help you to lower your bed?" Luca asked.

Luke's gaze fell on the documents once again. Although he wanted to look at Luca, he was afraid that his gentle gaze would shock Luca.

Percy was right. Luke had to forget what had happened in the past in order to mend their relationship.

Luke had to behave like a normal person and not make a scene out of things. He had to rebuild his image so that he would not make Luca worried.

Even though Luke was unconvinced, it was a good idea to stop her from leaving him.

"I don't take afternoon naps." Luke typed on the keyboard as he continued to reply to the emails.

Luca looked at him and frowned slightly. "You've been working hard all morning. You need to rest."

"I have tons of work to do," replied Luke. He wondered if it was because of the concussion, he felt that his working efficiency had reduced a lot.

New documents would be coming in later in the afternoon. If he continued at this pace, he would not be able to finish them in time.

Luca put on a helpless expression on her face as she looked at Luke. She would never force Luke to do so if it were not for his concussion and injuries.
