Although Luke was not a doctor, he knew Leia could not be triggered now.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Johann confirmed with him and wondered what Leia did to get herself into trouble. Otherwise, Luke could not be bothered to deal with her.

"Leia has been living too comfortably since she came back," said Luke. Since Leia liked to take advantage of the fact that she was one of the Norman family members and messed with the others until even the good-tempered Luca could not stand her harsh words, then Luke should remind her of her standing.

"..." Johann was flabbergasted.

Leia had hardly spent her days comfortably ever since she returned here...

She was always in pain, tortured by sickness. She was on the verge of death twice. Hence, it was nothing like what Luke said.

Still, if he thought Leia was living comfortably, then Leia had no choice but to resign herself to fate.

"Okay. I'll arrange for it," Johann promised him. It was not a big deal for him either.

"Don't make it too obvious," Luke added. He could not let Queenie and Jack find out about what he did.

"I know what to do. Don't worry," replied Johann. He was not a fool. There was an easy way to make such arrangements, but Leia and the others would find out about it.

Therefore, he had to come up with a plan.

Johann smiled. There was always a way to do it, right?

Luke knew Johann had something in his mind when he heard him say so. He immediately hung up the phone without saying a word.

Johann's face darkened when he heard the busy tone from the other end of the line.

Luke woke him up when he was about to sleep. Now that he had agreed to help him, Luke hung up the call instead.

He was just a tool, indeed.

Johann was unconvinced. He picked up his phone and called Luke.

"Anything else?" Luke asked.

"No. I'd like to ask you if it's appropriate to disturb someone who's sleeping without apologizing?" Johann questioned him.

It was inappropriate, indeed, but Luke did not feel guilty at all. He replied right away, “Dr. Park, it's late. Please don't disturb me. I'm going to cuddle my wife to sleep."

"You..." Johann gritted his teeth.

"You can find someone else if you're feeling lonely," Luke hung up the call as soon as he finished talking.

Johann's face darkened.

How heartless Luke was. Not only did Luke disturb his sleep, but he even mocked him for being single.

If it were not for their friendship, Johann would have stabbed Luke on his body with the scalpel.

Women? Why did Luke make it sound like he was not popular with women.

Johann paused for a moment. He could not help but yawn.

He truly did not have a girlfriend.

However, it was not because no women were pursuing him but he had no intention of getting into a relationship.

There were many female patients in the hospital who wanted to marry him. Also, there were also those who wanted to introduce their relatives to him.

Hence, he was popular with women.

Johann shook his head. It looked like he had been provoked by Luke, which made him think about this topic.

He tucked himself in bed and stopped thinking about it.

He was single but happy.

On the other hand.

After Luke ended the call, he took a shower and headed to Luca's bedroom.

She was still taking her shower in the bathroom.

Luke sat on the bed. He picked up the book beside the bed after pulling up the blanket.

Luca's heart uncontrollably skipped a beat when she saw Luke reading on the bed after walking out of the bathroom.

Luca realized that, and she could not help but secretly mock herself. It was not the first time she was seeing this. Also, why would her heart always skip a beat even though she had been together with

Luke for such a long time?

Luca concealed her feelings and headed to the dressing table and sat down. She opened the lids of her skincare products and began applying them to her face. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Luke lifted his head and looked at her pretty face, watching every move she did.

Luca knew he was looking at her, but she did not say anything.

She did not have many skincare products, and there were only a few steps to apply the skincare. After massaging her face, she turned off the lights on the dressing table and climbed onto the bed.

Luca pulled the covers off and sat down on the bed. She shot a glance at the man beside her.

Luke had already put the book aside and was getting ready to sleep.

Luke lay down on the bed after Luca lay down flat. He reached out and turned off the lights.

Just like before, his hand would reach for the spot and hold her tight in his arms.

Luca did not struggle, and she closed her eyes.

When she was about to fall asleep, Luke broke the silence. “I asked Johann to do me a favor."

Luca opened her eyes. Darkness came into sight. Her eyes' retina had yet to get used to the darkness as the lights were turned off not long ago. She replied, "What favor?"

“Dexter will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I asked him to find a way to let Leia meet Dexter," answered Luke.

Luca's heart quivered for a moment. Luke was not doing this to reunite Leia's family. He wanted to upset Leia.

The grudge Leia harbored against her biological father, Dexter, was stronger than expected...

Luca felt slightly uneasy. She eventually turned around and faced Luke.

Luca was unable to see Luke's facial expression in the dark. She could feel his breathing. Meanwhile, she was breathing rapidly.

Luca realized that, so she quickly stabilized her breathing. She said, "Mr. Crawford, that'll upset Leia."

"She's been living her life too comfortably seeing as she dares to mess with you," replied Luke as he forcefully pulled Luca into his arms. He said, "Since she doesn't want to live in peace anymore, then let her have a taste of despair."

Previously, Leia had tried so hard to get rid of Dexter, her worst nightmare. Dexter only went into hiding after he realized how big of a mess he made. Leia did not know how to appreciate the peaceful moments given to her now and even said such harsh things to Luca, thinking that it was Luca's obligation to help her.

Hence, Luke would teach her a lesson and tell her how to respect others.

Of course, in order to do that, Luke would have to begin with Leia learning that she was not a lady of the Norman family.

"All she did was say something harsh to me," said Luca. Anyone could see that Leia was a spoiled child as she sounded like an arrogant snob.

"What she did was not as simple as just saying harsh things to you. Besides, it doesn't matter if she wants to speak in such an arrogant and condescending way to others, but she can't do the same to

you," said Luke. It was clear that he was defending Luca.

It warmed Luca's heart to hear that.

She did not expect Luke to side with her and defend her after she told him about those harsh words Leia said to her.

It felt great to have someone to defend her.

"Then you'll have to make sure not to cross the line. Leia can't handle too much judging from her condition now," Luca was worried. The surgery might be for nothing if Leia could not take it.

"Johann knows what to do. Besides, Leia can get out of bed now. Her condition isn't that bad," replied Luke. He roughly knew about Leia's condition. Although Johann would not tell him the complicated health statistics, he knew Leia was not as vulnerable as the others thought.

"Okay.." Luca replied in a soft voice.

Luke did not want to deal with Leia that soon, but she offended Luca today. She was doomed to have a hard time.
