“Huh, is that Dr. Craw?" The security guard exclaimed in surprise. If he had not seen it with his own eyes and if the security cameras were not installed in the company's stairwell, he would have thought that he had accidentally switched to a movie channel.

After all, only those martial arts movie stars could pull off moves like that.

They would even have to take safety precautions. They would have to suspend themselves with safety gear before performing stunts like that.

As he watched Luca make her way down the stairs by holding onto the railings and vaulting over them, it really looked like a movie scene. He was not even sure if it was Luca. Thus, he zoomed in on the surveillance footage.

His eyes were glued to the surveillance screen as he followed Luca running down the stairs like that. "Damn, she's got some skills, huh?"

Another security guard overheard him and could not help but be curious. "Who are we talking about here?"

"It's Dr. Craw," replied the first security guard, quickly switching the surveillance screens. He followed Luca down to the lower floors.

"No way! It's really Dr. Craw. Has she been secretly training or something? I mean, you never would've guessed, right? She's usually all elegant and sweet, but with these moves, she could give those martial arts stars a run for their money!"

"Those guys might not even match up to Dr. Craw. They're all suspended with safety gear, but Dr. Craw is doing it raw, no fancy gear or anything." The security guard clicked his tongue, watching the surveillance nearing the first floor.

"And her speed, it's unbelievable. You can't even tell, but she's still a total badass..."

A term popped into the security guard's mind—parkour.

However, there was no way a parkour enthusiast could jump down so many floors. It was a bit terrifying.

"That's really impressive," exclaimed the other security guard.

"Let's keep this to ourselves. The general manager made it clear not to discuss anything about Dr. Craw. Even though it's not a scandal, Dr. Craw is usually low-key and probably doesn't want people to know about this," said the first security guard.

"True, but I'd really like to be her apprentice. If I could learn this, why be a security guard? I could go to Hollywood and be a stunt double. Perhaps I could even become a martial arts star later on," replied the second security guard, revealing his starry dreams.

"I suggest you stop dreaming. Just stick to being a security guard. There's no way Dr. Craw will teach you. It's too late to learn this at your age. Your flexibility isn't good enough. Don’t even bother learning this." The first security guard poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"I may be older, but I'm not as old as you. Practice makes perfect, you know? If Dr. Craw agrees to take me as an apprentice, I'll train hard and not embarrass her!"

The first security guard shook his head helplessly. It was an impossible dream, but the guy seemed to be lost in his daydream.

He wanted to warn him not to dream too big, but he eventually kept quiet. Everything would be fine as long as no one went spreading Luca's business.

Whatever Luca was up to, it was not the security guards' concern.

Luca quickly reached the parking lot. After getting into the car, she said to Warren, "Go to Central Hospital as fast as possible."

"Got it." Warren started the car engine, left the parking lot, and showcased his driving skills.

Even before Luca called, he had received a call from Luke, instructing him to cooperate with Luca as much as possible. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Warren always remembered his boss' orders. That was why he did not hesitate to run the yellow lights.

He went full throttle toward the hospital. Naturally, there were moments of abrupt braking. However, Warren was following Luca's order now. He could not care less about whether she was getting jittery in the back seat.

He just kept the pedal to the metal, heading straight for the hospital.

Luca's heart raced with anxiety. Even with the car speeding, she felt it was too slow. As she watched the rapidly receding street scenes, she tightly clenched her fingers. She was worried that she might be too late and feared that something bad might happen.

She was wrong. She should not have kept her identity a secret. If Queenie knew that her true identity was Bianca, she would not have fallen ill.

Nothing should happen to Queenie. Absolutely nothing!

As Luca prayed, she could not help but wish for a pair of wings. She wanted to soar above the traffic and swiftly make her way to the hospital.

When they reached the hospital, Luca anxiously got out before Warren could fully stop the car.

"Ms. Craw!" Warren was startled by her actions. The car was moving pretty fast. If Luca decided to jump out of the car, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Fortunately, he slammed the brakes in time, preventing a major accident.

"I'm okay. Just wait here," said Luca without looking back as she rushed toward the hospital ward.

Warren let out a sigh of relief. While speeding through the streets, he was also keeping an eye on Luca's situation.

He could not help but step on the gas when he saw the look on her face. Something must have happened for her to be this anxious.

After Warren found a parking spot, he parked the car and waited for Luca.

Meanwhile, Luca hurried to the inpatient department and took the elevator to the VIP ward. Since Johann had informed the nurses, no one stopped Luca. While she was on her way, a nurse asked, "Ms. Craw, are you going to Mrs. Norman's ward?"

"Yes, can you please call Dr. Park for me?" replied Luca, slightly out of breath from her run.

The nurse looked puzzled. Johann was currently in Queenie's ward. Why did Luca want her to call Johann out?

"Thanks," added Luca, sensing the nurse's confusion. Then, she quickly headed to Queenie's ward.

The nurse reluctantly went to the call button and paged Johann.

Johann responded, acknowledged, and hung up.

"Luca is here," he informed Queenie.

Queenie was a bit nervous. After she took a deep breath, she immediately half-laid down, preparing to act the part.

She had not actually fallen ill. It was all an act to convince Luca. She even sent the maid back home to bring over a foundation that was lighter in shade. Queenie then applied it to her face.

Not even her lips were spared, leaving her with an entirely pale complexion.

The maid looked at them with confusion.

Johann turned to her and said, "I need to step out for a moment. When I come back in, you'll have to leave. Got it?"

"Yes, sir," replied the maid, feeling puzzled. She glanced at Queenie but said nothing and followed Johann's instructions.

Johann left the ward and encountered Luca, who looked breathless. Frowning, he greeted her, "Dr. Craw.”

"How's Mrs. Norman? Is her condition under control?" asked Luca.

Johann shook his head and answered, "No, she's weak right now. She doesn't want to do any treatment. It seems like she's using this method to force Luke to cut ties with you..."

Luca's heart tightened. She knew Queenie did this out of love for her, sacrificing her health to coerce Luke.

Queenie did not know her true identity was Bianca...

She was safeguarding Bianca's marriage...

Luca's heart was a mix of emotions. "Did you inform Luke?"

"Yes, but he seems to be inspecting something out in the suburbs. He can't rush back right away," Johann wondered why Luca was standing here, reluctant to step into Queenie's ward when she was obviously concerned about Queenie. What was she waiting for...

"Ms. Craw, I think you need to give your dry needling technique a shot," suggested Johann. Back when he chatted with Luca, he learned that her dry needling technique had therapeutic effects on many ailments, including lowering blood pressure and such.
