Chapter 2003

After the nurse has left, Luca lay back down on the bed. Her mind was replaying the statement Luke gave.

'I owe him an apology?'

Luca stared at the ceiling. She was clueless why she had to apologize.

After Luke left the ward, he received news from Ray. After thanking Ray, he told the latter that Luca's condition was stable after taking the medication and she was under observation. For the time being, she did not need to be treated further.

After Ray learned about it, he replied to Luke's message telling him that he could just text him whenever he encountered a problem.

Then, Luke controlled his wheelchair to a side of the corridor and waited.

Jason bought two bottles of water and came over. He saw Luke in the corridor and asked, "Sir, is the doctor in there treating Luca?"

"No," Luke said. The moment he entered, the nurse came out. Currently, only Luca was in the ward.

"Then, why are you here..." Jason looked at the ward, puzzled. He noticed the door was closed.

"She needs rest." Luke looked at the bottle of water that Jason was holding in his hand. He took out his wallet from his pocket and took out a few dollar bills. "Go buy some food."

"Alright, sir." Jason took the money, then placed the bottle of water down. "Mr. Crawford, please have some water for now. I'll be back soon."

Jason and Luke came over without having breakfast because of Luca.

After Jason left, Luke took a bottle of water. He was still at the same spot, staring at the door while daydreaming.

After five hours.

Luca did not develop any fever, and the doctor allowed her to be discharged.

The moment she was discharged, the doctor looked at Luke and reminded him, "Even though your wife's wound has been sutured, she can't do any aggressive exercise in the next few days to prevent the sutures from coming off. If it's possible, stay in the bedroom and get more rest. If you notice there are some odd-looking secretions from the wound, you have to instantly come back to the hospital to receive treatment."

Luca heard what the doctor said. When she was about to speak, she heard Luke say, "Got it." She kept quiet. 'Earlier when the doctor said that I'm his wife, he didn't deny it. Did he deliberately not clarify it?'

The doctor was concerned that Luca's wound might reopen if she moved around casually. Hence, he had the nurse bring her a wheelchair. He had Luca sit in the wheelchair when leaving the hospital.

"I don't need a wheelchair." Luca frowned. 'It's just a wound that has been resutured. I'm not that weak.'

"This wheelchair is not meant to be used long-term. It's just that it's best for you to minimize walking when you're making your way to the basement car park," the doctor explained.

Luca looked at Luke, who was waiting beside her. Jason would be there to push his wheelchair for him.

They did not say a word. Luca had no choice but to sit in the wheelchair.

Jason had already arranged for the transport from the hotel. The driver was waiting for them at the entrance of the hospital.

The nurse pushed Luca, while Jason pushed Luke, and they all came to the side of the car at the same time.

After Jason helped Luke into the car, he looked at Luca.

"I can do it on myself," said Luca. She did not intend to have Jason help her.

Jason did not insist on helping. The woman in front of him was Luke's woman. He could not just casually touch her. It was best if she could enter the car by herself.

Luca slowly got up. Since her wound had just been resutured and the surrounding skin was forcefully stitched together, she could feel the pain in her wound when there was any movement in her waist.

She pursed her lips. With the help of the nurse, she entered the car.

The nurse handed the packet of medications to Luca and reminded her, "The doctor said that if there's any discomfort after you take the medicine, you should immediately come back to the hospital."

"Alright, thanks." Luca received the medicine and lowered her eyes.

Luke had been constantly looking at her. 'Isn't he afraid that others will find him acting strange? After all, Jason is still around.'

Jason helped them both close the car door and sighed outside of the car.

Now, he would have to look after two patients.

He sat in the front passenger seat and communicated with the driver in English, having the driver start driving.

The driver nodded and drove them back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Luca was the first to get out of the car. She shook her head when she saw the hand Jason stretched out. She said, "It's alright. I can do this by myself."

Jason retrieved his hand and watched her get down from the car cautiously. Despite her movements not being as smooth as before, those who were clueless would not know that she had an injury on her waist.

He suddenly recalled back to the two days when Luke went to South Korea.

Luca seemed to be very weak, but even if she said she had fallen sick, it still did not seem like she was sick. It was just that her expression was much more awful than previously. She had also explained herself back then. At that time, he thought that it was because of her lack of rest.

However, now that he thought about it, it did not seem that way.

After Luca got down from the car, Jason helped Luke next.

Once Luke got settled down in the wheelchair, he was pushed into the hotel. Original from .

Luca followed them from behind and slowly walked in.

Jason intentionally slowed down his pace so that Luca could catch up.

After returning to the room, Luca said to Jason and Luke, "Mr. Crawford, Mr. Doyle, thanks for everything for today. I'll be heading back to the room to rest."

After saying that, she took her medication back to her room and closed the door.

Jason was standing behind the wheelchair. He lifted his brows. Then, he walked in front of Luke.

"Sir, I came here because I recalled something," he said softly.

Luke controlled his wheelchair and moved toward his room. "Let's go in and talk."

Jason followed him into the room and closed the door.

"What's going on?" Luke asked.

"It's about Dr. Craw. I suddenly recalled that when you accompanied Ms. Tanner to South Korea for two days, she looked awful when she came to work. She said it was because she did not get enough rest."

Luke lifted his brows. "So, you're telling me that she got injured when I went to South Korea?"

"That seems to be the case. Earlier, when Dr. Craw got down from the car, even though her movements were a little slow, she's still no different from an ordinary person. I thought back to the two days when you went to South Korea. It's true that she didn't look well, but there was nothing off about her. I'm suspecting that she got injured during those two days," said Jason.

Judging from Luca's performance earlier, she had quite a high pain threshold.

'All I can say is that she's not an ordinary person.'

If any ordinary person had gotten injured, it would take them one week, at the very least, to recover.

From the looks of it, it was obvious that Luca was no ordinary person.

Her speed of recovery was very fast. Her complexion was back to normal when Luke returned.

"I got it." Luke did not blame him. After all, the one who was injured was Luca.

She was very good at putting on an act. Even if she was in pain, she could just withstand it. Jason could not stay with her all the time, so it would be impossible for him to know whether or not she was injured.

Besides, Luke had been staying with her and he was clueless too.

Jason let out a breath of relief when he saw that Luke did not blame him.

Luke took out his phone and ordered his subordinate back in the country to make a trip to his villa. Luke wanted him to investigate the dashcam of the car that Luca drove.

'If Luca was really injured on that day, it means this wound has been there for a very long time. How did she overcome the pain during this time?'

Hence, he must get to the bottom of it. 'Who injured Luca?'
