Chapter 1113 Ivana

    "I had a nightmarest night! Dad, please apany me to sleep." Tommy did not dare to tell Luke the


    real reason, so he pestered him.


    Even if the woman in their home who imed to be their mother looked like their mother, Tommy


    refused to admit that she was his mother.


    It was because he knew their mother was not like this.


    Their mother must still be somewhere and could note home yet, but he was confident that she


    would be back eventually.


    "Okay." Luke nodded and agreed. Even though he knew Tommy’s true intentions, he still went along


    with him.


    Tommy smiled and winked at Lanie and Rainie. He was happy that he was able to protect his father''s


    innocence once again.


    Lanie and Rainie exchanged nces. They thought that their brother was nimble-witted!


    After he sent the children to school, Luke drove to the hospital.


    Johann had arranged a male psychologist for him. He sat on the sofa and told the doctor about his


    problems.


    After listening to what Luke shared, the doctor got the general gist of things and asked, "Mr. Crawford,


    has this happened with other women?" "Except for my wife, I feel sick when I’m touched by other


    women," Luke answered truthfully.


    He did not want to see Bianca aggrieved, but he was inexplicably resistant to her touch. Hence, he


    could not wait to recover and fulfill his duty as her husband.


    "In that case..." The doctor pondered on it for a while. Everyone in A City knew what had happened to


    Luke''s wife. The doctor cautiously said, "Mr. Crawford, whateveres next is helpful for your


    treatment. I hope you can look into your heart and answer me truthfully so I can understand why you''re


    feeling resistant against your wife."


    "Okay." Luke nodded.


    "Does what happened to her bother you?" the doctor worded his question vaguely.


    Luke understood what he meant and pondered for a moment.


    Did he think that Bianca was dirty because she had been touched by other men? It did not seem to be


    the case, so he shook his head and said, "What happened to my wife was not by her choice. I know


    she''s not such a woman, so I don''t mind."


    The doctor frowned and saw how sincere Luke was when he answered his question. It did not seem


    like he was lying.


    He said, "Okay. The resistance you feel every time your wife makes this request, does it feel the same


    as when other women touch you?" "It''s the same," Luke replied immediately. He had always felt this


    way since Bianca''s return.


    Even when Bianca leaned in his arms, he wanted to push her away.


    The doctor was a little confused. It seemed to him that Luke was resisting Bianca purely because he


    was germaphobic, not because of what had happened to Bianca.


    It was the same reason why he resisted the touch of other women.


    "Mr. Crawford, I think that subconsciously, you don''t think she''s your wife because of her change in


    temperament. As such, you''re resisting her," he exined.


    Luke frowned in confusion. He did not mind what had happened to Bianca at all. It appeared he could


    not ept her because he felt that the person in front of him was not the Bianca he knew.


    "What should I do?" Luke asked.


    The doctor helplessly shook his head and said, "You have to make the breakthrough yourself. Taking


    medicine won''t help you. The effects of counseling are limited too. The situation will only gradually


    improve if you truly ept your wife''s changes."


    Luke nodded and seemed to understand what it meant.


    He found the root cause but did not feel relieved.


    In the past two years, he seemed to have epted Bianca''s change in temperament but he still felt


    antipathy.


    ''What should I do to ept the changes in her?''


    Luke was not sure how to approach the matter.


    After he left the hospital, he immediately headed to T Corporation. When he arrived at the office, a


    notification sounded from his phone. It was a text from Bianca.


    She wasining about the servants gossiping about her and also Old Master Crawford throwing


    his temper at her early in the morning.


    Luke did not reply immediately. He was perplexed, so he put his phone down.


    Jason knocked on the door of his office. He walked in straight as the door was not closed. He said,


    "Boss, the pharmaceutical professors scheduled to be interviewed today are already waiting


    downstairs." "HI head down right away," Luke said. He nced at the phone and decided not to reply to


    Bianca.


    He would receive texts simr to that every day. Bianca was not satisfied with her life in Crawford


    Manor and wouldin to him endlessly.


    In the beginning, he was patient and did his best to calm her down. However, after so long, he was


    numb to it.


    Luke felt that he should not react as such and be more considerate of Bianca. ''She lost her memory


    and must feel extra sensitive. Maybe that''s why she has so many negative thoughts.''


    However, even with such a mindset, he still could not extend the understanding he had with her


    previously.


    Luke put on his jacket, muted his phone, and put it in his pocket. Hethen went downstairs with Jason.


    T Corporation had decided to enter the pharmaceutical industry. Afterpleting the preliminary work,


    the first thing they did was recruit talents. The people they were interviewing today were important.


    They would serve as the future developers of the pharmaceuticalpany.


    Jason passed the documents that had information of all the applicants to Luke.


    Luke walked into the elevator and flipped through it at random. He thought that the professors would all


    be male, but he was stunned when he saw a female face.


    When Jason saw him staring at the page, he exined, "She just returned from Russia. Although she


    looks young, her resume is more interesting than the other professors''." "That doesn''t mean she has a


    rich experience. What ourpany wants is someone who sees and manages the big picture. At the


    same time, we need people who can develop drugs that are more effective thanpetitor products


    that are currently in the market." Luke closed the folder and ignored the surprise he felt.


    He did not think about why he had such a weird feeling when he saw this woman''s photo.


    Luke and Jason walked into the conference room and conducted the interviews with several employees


    from Human Resources.


    A pharmaceutical professor walked in, introduced themselves, and then introduced their new products


    and future R&D proposals. All the other candidates did the same.


    They all boasted about themselves as though they were the best candidate.


    Luke was a little bored with the endless rambling and self-promotion.


    Anyone who had been in the pharmaceutical industry for a few years could say those same things.


    Jason put thest resume in front of Luke and said in a soft voice, "Boss, this is thest one."


    Luke looked down and saw Ivana, the only woman in the group of applicants.


    "Let her in." He stared at the photo, his voice a little hoarse.
