Chapter 1153 There Must Be a Reason


    After Luca left the CEO''s office, she did not go anywhere else other than the elevator lobby.


    She was surprised when she saw Luke standing there waiting for the elevator. It had been quite some


    time, but the elevator had not arrived yet.


    It was then that she realized that they were not in T Corporation, and Luke did not have a personal


    elevator in the Watson Biopharmaceuticals building. It should not have been surprising that Luke would


    be waiting for sometime.


    Luke must have heard her footsteps because she was not sneaking, and it would be very suspicious if


    she tried to run away.


    Luca had no other choice but to approach him. "Mr. Crawford." "Mm." Luke nodded. His eyes remained


    transfixed on the elevator disy. The elevator had not arrived yet.


    Luca stood some distance away from him. She thought for a while and asked, "Is Tommy okay?" "I


    don''t know. I''ll have to bring him to the doctor," Luke said. He ced his hands in his pockets, and he


    looked cool and handsome.


    Luca nodded. She was worried about Tommy, but she did not say anything.


    The elevator arrived at the top floor. Luke went inside first and held the door open. Seeing that Luca


    had no intention of going in, he ordered, ” Come in."


    Luca could not refuse, so she went inside.


    Luke pressed the button for the basement parking lot, then pressed the button for the Technical


    Department.


    Luca stood there stiffly. She lifted her head to look at the decreasing numbers on the disy.


    "Are you worried about Tommy?" Luke said.


    "I think I have an affinity with that child," Luca said.


    "He wants you to be his godmother." Luke nced at her side profile. She was wearing light makeup,


    and she looked like a blooming rose in the wilderness.


    "Can I refuse?" Luca said. She could ept that she would not be able to reconcile with her child, but


    she could not ept that she would be her child''s godmother.


    "You can," Luke said. The elevator stopped at the Technical Department.


    The elevator doors opened, and Luca did not want to stay in the elevator for an extra second.


    She breathed a sigh of relief as she heard the elevator closed behind her. She noticed that Cole was


    standing not far away and looking at her.


    "Dr. Kidman." Luca was not interested in office politics, but she had to be polite.


    "I learned a lot from your presentation today, Dr. Craw. If you''re free, shall we have a chat?" There was


    a hint of appreciation in Cole''s eyes.


    He thought that Luca was not very capable, but it turned out that her research held far more value than


    what he had.

    He did not have to think too hard to conclude that Luke had approved a big amount of funding for her.


    "Sure." Luca was not fond of that man, but she had to remain diplomatic.


    Cole continued, "Mr. Crawford asked you to meet him in his office earlier. Is it about your projects?"


    "Yes," Luca replied curtly.


    She had just finished speaking when Mo came over and said, "Dr. Cole, Mr. Doyle wants to meet you


    upstairs."


    Cole frowned. "Why is it Mr. Doyle?"


    He wanted to speak with Luke about the funding.


    "I don''t know," Mo replied with a smile.


    Cole shot a nce at Luca. Luca got to meet with the CEO, but he only got to meet with the assistant.


    Luca noticed that Cole was looking at her. She exined, "Mr. Crawford had to leave because of an


    emergency." "I see." Cole pped his hands and said, ''Til be going up then."


    Luca smiled, watched him leave, and went back to her office.


    Cole was someone who craved power. She had to exin herself because she did not want him to


    have the wrong impression of her.


    She did not really care if Cole misjudged her personality, but she did not want Cole to think that there


    was something going on between Luke and her.


    Luke drove the car to Tommy''s school. The boy was sitting in the teacher''s office waiting for him.


    "Daddy." Tommy smiled when he saw Luke. He jumped off the chair and walked toward him.


    Luke touched his forehead to check the temperature, but it was not very warm. "Are you alright?" "I''m a


    little dizzy." Tommy leaned on him and pouted.


    Luke took his hand. "Mm. I''ll bring you to the doctor."


    Tommy''s teacher handed Luke an early leave form. "Please initial here, Mr. Crawford."


    Luke nodded. He took out a pen from his pocket, signed his initials on the form, and brought Tommy


    away.


    "They look really outstanding." The teacher could not help but exim as she watched the father and


    son leave.


    "It''s toote to have a crush on him. He''s already married," another teacher joked.


    "I''m not having a crush on him. I''m just saying." The teacher blushed.


    Luke drove the car to the hospital.


    Johann had already been waiting for him in the consultation room. When he saw Luke and Tommy walk


    in, he said jokingly, "I wish that you won''te and look for me only when you need something. How


    about making a donation? We need a new block. Some research funding will be good too.


    "Is your hospital short of money? Stop that nonsense." Luke ced Tommy on the chair and said,


    "Tommy says that he''s dizzy. Take a look at him."


    Johann pinched Tommy’s cheek. "What''s wrong, Tommy?”


    Tommy blinked and said, "I don''t know, Uncle Johann. I feel really dizzy." "You''re feeling dizzy. Let me


    check," Johann said. He ran a few tests but did not find any problems.


    "Are you sure that you''re feeling dizzy, Tommy?" he asked seriously.


    "Mm!" Tommy nodded.


    Johann continued, "Where do you feel unwell? Is it here, or here?"


    Tommy pointed to several parts of his body. "Here, and here."


    Johann frowned. "Well...” "How is it?" Luke asked.


    "It''s nothing serious," Johann said as he removed his stethoscope. "He didn''t sleep wellst night."


    Tommy blinked. "How do you know, Uncle Johann?" "That must be why you''re feeling unwell, isn''t it?"


    Johann patted his head.


    Luke looked at his son and frowned. "There''s nothing wrong?" "Nope. He just needs to rest early


    today." Johann did not want to tell Luke that the child was faking it.


    Tommy waspletely fine, but Johann could guess that there was a reason he was faking his


    sickness.


    Tommy nodded and told Luke, "I should be fine after resting for a bit, Daddy!"


    Luke nodded. "Let''s go."


    Tommy jumped off the chair and took his hand.


    Seeing that they were about to leave, Johann said, "Hey, what about my consultation fees?"


    Luke nced at him with a withering gaze. "How much?"
