Seeing that the gauze was stable even with the weight of his leg, Luca breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Luke who was sitting in the bathtub and said, "Mr. Crawford, have a nice shower. I'll be waiting outside the door."
"Mm," Luke nodded. Although it was a bit awkward to take a shower like this, it was a better option than wiping his body with a wet cloth.
Luca left the bathroom and closed the door for him. She did not lock it from the inside because she would have to come in later.
The maid came over and asked softly, "Ms. Craw, are you done?"
"Yes, somewhat. Getting Mr. Crawford out of the bathroom after his shower is a big task," Luca said. After Luke was done, she would first drain the water from the bathtub so that his injury would not risk getting wet.
If he deliberately did not wear a bathrobe...
Luca's face warmed at the thought that she might see something she should not.
"I'll stay and wait for Mr. Crawford to finish his bath." The maid was worried that Luca would not be able to do it alone.
After the maid said that, Luca noticed that it was time for the maid to get off work. The weather outside today was not the best. It might snow. She said, "It's getting late. I can deal with it alone, so you should head home and be with your family."
"What about..." The maid hesitated.
Luca knew that Luke did not like to be seen by other people in a state like that. Even if the maid was here, he might end up ordering her to wait outside. There was nothing the maid could contribute if that was the case.
She said, "I can do it alone. I have experience in caring for others. Don't worry."
"Okay, I'll head home, then." Seeing that Luca was insistent, the maid decided to get off work.
Luca thought that Luke would probably wash his hair, so she said, "By the way, is there a hairdryer downstairs? Can you help me find it?"
"It's for guests. I'll find it for you." The maid nodded, turned around, and walked out of the maid's room. After a while, she returned with a hairdryer and said, "Ms. Craw, I'll put the hairdryer on the table."
"Okay. Get home safe," Luca said.
The maid smiled warmly and nodded. "Ms. Craw, you're so kind. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Luca nodded.
After the maid left, she was the only one left in the bedroom. She heard the sound of water in the bathroom.
Luca figured that Luke had turned on the showerhead.
She glanced at the documents on the desk, which were all about the project...
Abel's words rang in her ears.
Luca clenched her fist. She knew that it was a crucial point for the project. The designs should have been decided...
She could not make up her mind whether to steal them...
Luca took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and looked away. She could not do it and could only drag it out.
It was difficult to divert her attention, so she grabbed her phone and scrolled through relevant information about what she had been drugged with.
Half an hour later, Luke's voice came from the bathroom. "I'm done."
Luca put the phone back in her pocket and approached the bathroom door. When she was about to open it, she suddenly remembered that Luke might not be wearing any clothes. She stopped and asked, "Mr. Crawford, are you dressed?"
Luke, who was sitting in the bathtub, raised his eyebrows. ‘If I'm not dressed, she won't come in?'
She acted as if their relationship never existed even though she had given birth to three of their children...
"No. What should I do?" Luke asked.
Luca found it a little hard to breathe. If she opened the door and went in without thinking, she would see a PG-18 scene. owns all content.
"Mr. Crawford, drain the water in the bathtub and wrap yourself in the bathrobe I put at the side." Luca urged him. She was prepared for this.
Luke glanced at the bathrobe next to him and raised his brows. He thought it was something Luca had prepared for him to change into. Unexpectedly, she prepared it because of this.
He fumbled around, found the drain, and pressed it.
The water from the bathtub rushed down the drain.
Luca stood at the door and heard the sound.
After a while, she heard Luke say, "Okay, you can come in."
Luca opened the door and glanced tentatively inside the bathroom. Luke was still sitting in the bathtub. His upper body was covered by his bathrobe, while his injured leg was still hanging on the gauze.
"I'll help you." She walked over and gently placed Luke's feet on the tub.
Although the bathtub was no longer filled with water, it was still a little wet. The plaster was covered with plastic wrap, so the water did not affect it.
Luca raised her hand to grab Luke's armpit.
Luke put his hands on the side of the tub and sat on the edge of the tub.
Luca watched him sit firmly before she brought the wheelchair over.
When the wheelchair was near him, Luke stood up on one foot and swayed slightly.
Luca did not dare to delay for fear that he might fall, so she helped him to get into the wheelchair.
"Are you okay?" she asked in a soft voice.
"I'm alright." Luke closed his eyes and opened them again, his expression indifferent.
Luca nodded, pushed him out of the bathroom, then turned around and walked back into the bathroom. She took out a dry towel and said, "Mr. Crawford, since you washed your hair, do you need me to dry it for you?"
"I'd appreciate it." Luke's hair was still dripping wet. He lowered his eyes, not intending to do it himself.
Luca had no choice but to wipe the water droplets from his hair with a towel.
When the moisture in his hair was almost absorbed by the towel, she brought him to the office table and said, "I'm going to unplug your phone's charger."
"Mm." Luke closed his eyes, enjoying her tenderness.
Even though she was still cautious, she was still tender.
Luca plugged in the hairdryer, turned it on, and aimed it at Luke's hair.
She knew that he did not like it when his scalp was burning, so she moved the hairdryer farther away. When she raised her hand, she pulled on the muscles around her waist. It was uncomfortable.
Luca did not say a word. She silently dried his hair for him, then turned off the hairdryer and whispered, "Mr. Crawford, I've already helped you put your pajamas on the bed. Please change into them."
"Got it." Luke glanced at the computer that was on sleep mode and moved the mouse. The lock screen was on display.
He did not hide and entered the password in front of her.
Luca noticed that the password was her birthday.
She lowered her gaze and kept the hairdryer without making a sound.
He said that he liked her.
That was to say he had no feelings for Bianca anymore. However, his current password was still her birthday.
‘Does he really like me? Or is he just lonely and sees me as a way to pass the time?'
