Chapter 1231 Recurrent Fever


    On the other end, Luke received a text from his subordinates on his way back from Norman Residence.


    While he was waiting for the traffic light, he clicked on the text and saw that Luca was in the photo. The


    photo was taken on that same day. She was dressed exactly the same as early that night.


    Luke called Zander and asked, "Did you send Luca back?" "Mr. Crawford, I sent Ms. Luca back but she


    got off at an intersection in front of her apartment. She told me that she wanted to get something and


    asked for me not to wait for her." Zander did not dare to miss any details and told Luke everything that


    he remembered.


    Luke responded, "I see."


    After that, he cut off the call.


    He nced at the photo again. ''Luca lied when she told Zander she wanted to buy something. The


    truth is that she was going to the Westin Hotel. What was she doing there?''


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Luke thought back to the time when Luca told him that he would not be able to find anything when he


    wanted to dig into the matter.


    ''How did she know that I wouldn''t be able to find anything? Luca seems to be hiding a lot of secrets.’


    Luke''s phone rang and he pressed to answer. The maid said anxiously," Young Master Luke, Madam is


    having a high fever again and it reached 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The doctor asked you toe to the


    hospital immediately." "I''m on my way."


    Luke hung up. When the red light turned to green, he made a U-turn and drove to the hospital.


    After he arrived at the ward, it just so happened that Dr. ke, the head physician of the internal


    medicine department, was checking on Bianca. When Dr. ke saw the number on the thermometer,


    he frowned and said,"


    Didn''t her temperature go down when I left?" "Yes, Dr. ke, but the patient''s temperature went up


    again," the nurse said helplessly as she looked at Bianca who was a little groggy from the high fever.


    She was unsure of why Bianca''s condition was fluctuating.


    "Give her the fever-reducing injection and prepare a bottle of saline. Her recurrent high fever will make


    her dehydrated. She needs to start fasting. We''ll run a blood test tomorrow morning." Dr. ke made


    the arrangements for Bianca''s treatment.


    "Okay." The nurse nodded and said to the maid, "The patient needs to fast.


    If she''s thirsty, you can moisten her lips with a cotton swab." "Okay." The maid took notes. She was


    dumbfounded at Bianca''s condition after taking care of her in the hospital for the entire day.


    ''What''s wrong with her...’


    Luke walked into the ward and asked, "Why is my wife suffering from recurrent fever?"


    Dr. ke recognized Luke and respectfully said, "Mr. Crawford, we don''t know much at the moment but


    well find out more after the blood test report is out tomorrow."


    Bianca, whoy weakly on the hospital bed, heard his voice and wanted to open her eyes to look at


    him. Unfortunately, the fever was draining her energy and there was nothing she could do.


    Luke looked at how ufortable she looked and pursed his thin lips.


    "Mr. Crawford, don''t worry. Well do our best to cure Mrs. Crawford," Dr.


    ke said. He was confident that he could heal her.


    "Then what are you still doing here?" Luke asked indifferently.


    What he needed was not someone who made empty promises but someone who could get things


    done.


    Dr. ke was stunned. He did not expect Luke to react as such. However, he could not afford to offend


    him, so he nodded and immediately walked out of the ward to update his treatment n.


    After a while, the nurse walked in with the saline and swiftly set up the drip for Bianca.


    The maid looked at Luke who was standing in the center of the ward and said, "Young Master Luke,


    you should sit and rest for a while. Madam will be fine. I believe that her fever will go away soon


    enough." "She''s been in this condition since the afternoon?" Luke asked. In the afternoon, Bianca also


    had a high fever but he could not get out of the meeting he was having then. After the meeting was


    over, the maid told him that she was doing better after the doctors treated her.


    "Yes." The maid nodded. "Her fever would suddenly spike up. Things would be normal for the first half


    an hour but the fever woulde out of nowhere. However, as soon as she’s injected with the meds,


    her body temperature would lower."


    Luke stared at Bianca. Her condition was worse than the night before.


    After she adjusted the speed of the drip, the nurse said, "The drip can''t go any faster. With this speed, it


    should take two hours for the saline to finish. Those taking care of the patient can take a short break."


    The maid thanked her. "Okay, I see. Thank you."


    After the nurse left, Luke looked at therge bottle of saline and kept silent.


    Although Bianca had her eyes closed, she was conscious. She wanted to act coquettish in front of


    Luke to gain his sympathy, but at that moment, she could onlyy on the bed. She felt as though her


    body was not her own.


    The maid nced at the time and noted that it waste. She looked at Bianca and thought that her


    condition seemed to be improving, so she suggested, "Young Master Luke, why don’t you go back and


    rest first? I’ll keep watch of Madam."


    Luke raised his wrist and nced at the time. It was almost midnight.


    He thought about it and replied, "Stay and take care of her for another night. I’ll have someone else


    come and rece you tomorrow." "Okay, thank you, Young Master Luke." The maid thanked him


    happily. She felt more tired taking care of Biancapared to having to clean


    Crawford Manor. She was very happy to find out that she would not need to stay in the hospital


    tomorrow.


    Bianca, who was on the bed, felt unsettled when she heard that Luke was leaving. She tried to open


    her eyes but her efforts were in vain.


    The medicine had takenplete control of her body...


    Luke noticed that Bianca’s eyelids were moving. He stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Bea, I’ll


    be heading home. Have a good rest and you''ll be fine when you wake up."


    After he said that, he turned around and left.


    Bianca listened to the sound of him leaving. She was anxious and angry. ’ He won''t stay even if my


    fever is 105 degrees! What do I need to do to get him to pay more attention to me?''


    The next day at Watson Biopharmaceuticals.


    As soon as Luca got to work, Mo told her to go to a meeting.


    She picked up her tablet and walked to the meeting room only to find that the person who was


    presiding over the meeting was not Dr. Cole but Luke.


    Luca lowered her gaze, walked silently to her seat, and sat down. 1


    Luke kept looking at her with a cold expression. He waited until she sat down before he shifted his


    gaze.


    After waiting for another five minutes, everyone in the Technical Department arrived.


    Dr. Cole took the lead to talk about the agenda of the meeting. Luca understood that thepany was


    offering two spots for a one-week offsite training in New York that was set to happen next month.


    The meeting was to discuss the allocation of the two spots.


    Luca looked down and listened. She could not help wondering why Luke would preside over the


    meeting in person for such small matters.
