Chapter 1255 Are You Trying to Kill Her?


    After Luca ended the call, she hastily typed up a leave application form and went to Cole''s office.


    She knocked on the door and only went in after the person inside gave his consent. She ced the


    form on the table and said, "I need to take time off work, Dr. Kidman."


    Cole narrowed his eyes. If it were before, he would not ask too many questions. After all, if Luca had


    lagged behind on her research, it was beneficial for him, but now...


    He was angry that her research had progressed so quickly despite taking time off work frequently. Even


    the veteran researchers could not catch up with her.


    Cole took on the demeanor of her superior and sighed. "Dr. Craw, how many times have you taken


    time off work this month?"


    Luca did not answer. She knew that Cole was unhappy that she had taken his spot in the off-site


    training trip, and her attendance at work had nothing to do with it.


    "There might not be a written rule about how much time off an employee can take, but you''ve been


    regrly absent from work, and you should know that other employees might not be too happy about


    it," Cole said imperiously.


    "I have something urgent," Luca said.


    Cole nced at the application form. Luca did not write her reasons for taking time off, so he asked,


    "Tell me then, what''s so urgent?" "It''s about Mrs. Crawford," Luca said. She would not be so insistent


    on going if Queenie had not made the request herself.


    She was not concerned about the impostor Bianca''s health at all, but she did not want Queenie to be


    worried or afraid. After all, Queenie''s health had only recently improved, and she should not fall ill again


    because she was worried over the impostor Bianca.


    "You''re acquainted with Mrs. Crawford?" Cole was quite surprised, though he was also suspicious.


    "How could she be acquainted with Mrs. Crawford? Isn''t she Mr. Crawford''s mistress?'' "I really have to


    go, Dr. Kidman. Please approve my application," Luca said.


    Cole could see that Bianca was not lying. He thought of making Luca''s life difficult, but he did not want


    to offend Bianca. Eventually, he signed his initials on the application form and approved her application.


    "Thank you." Luca left with the form.


    She happened to meet Talia on her way out of Cole''s office.


    Talia felt disgusted by Luca''s impassive expression. ''What''s she so smug about?'' "Good morning, Dr.


    Craw," Talia greeted Luca even though she was not happy to meet her.


    "Mm." Luca nodded and left.


    When Talia went into Cole''s office, she asked, "Dr. Kidman, why did Dr. Craw look for you?" "She''s


    taking time off work," Cole answered.


    From Cole''s expression, Talia could tell that he was not pleased about Luca taking time off work so


    often. It was a simr situation in high school, where the ace students who did not pay attention in ss


    would turn out to have better results than others.


    Luca was like an ace student in high school. Her results proved that she was on a different level from


    the others, and other people would be naturally jealous of her.


    Talia said indignantly, "She''s been taking time off work so often this month. I don''t see any other


    researcher taking off work so often." "She says it''s because of Mrs. Crawford," Cole said. "Do you know


    about her rtionship with Mrs. Crawford?" "I don''t know..." Talia shook her head and raised her


    doubts, "But isn''t she sleeping with Mr. Crawford? How would Dr. Craw and Mrs. Crawford know each


    other?" "That''s true." Cole''s expression sank.


    He realized that he had been deceived!


    Talia thought that the only way to gain Cole''s good graces now was to stand on his side. "Dr. Kidman,


    I''ve heard that Ms. Stone is acquainted with Mrs. Crawford. Should I try to find out something from her?


    If we find out that Mrs. Crawford is lying, you have the right to admonish her."


    Cole thought that it was a good idea. He nodded and said, "Alright, go and find out whatever you can.


    I''d really like to know if Luca Craw is really acquainted with Mrs. Crawford." "Yes!" Talia said and left the


    office.


    After Luca handed the application form to Mo, she packed up her handbag, left the building, and caught


    a cab to the hospital.


    When she stepped into the hospital room, she was surprised to see Bianca hooked up to medical


    equipment. It seemed that she was sessfully resuscitated, but her condition was not stable.


    Luke was there too. When he saw Luca, he asked, "Why are you here?"


    Luca was not surprised that Luke was there. Before she could answer, Queenie said, "I asked Luca to


    come. Bianca was fine earlier, but suddenly...


    Luke did not reply.


    Luca said, "Can I take her pulse?" "Mm." Luke nodded. He was on his way back to T Corporation when


    he received a call from Dr. ke that Bianca had suddenly fallen into aa.


    That was why he immediately turned around and went to the hospital.


    He did not expect that Queenie had informed Luca about it.


    Luca walked over to the bed and ced two fingers on Bianca''s wrist to take her pulse.

    Dr. ke was informed that Luca had arrived. He rushed over to the room and observed her with


    fascination.


    The nurse had told him that Luca prescribed a herbal concoction to Bianca. He did not think much of it,


    thinking that it was only a health supplement.


    He did not expect that the concoction could actually improve Bianca''s condition. Not only had the fever


    subsided, but she seemed to be healthier by the day, except for today...


    After taking Bianca’s pulse, Luca turned to ask the caretaker. "Has Mrs. Crawford been drinking the


    concoction regrly?" "Uh..." The caretaker hesitated to answer the question.


    "She didn''t, right?" Luca could guess what might have happened.


    "What''s wrong?" Luke asked.


    The caretaker could only tell them the truth. "Madam has been drinking the concoction for the first few


    days, but she has been secretly pouring the concoction away since two days ago."


    Bianca had told her to keep it a secret, but the caretaker dared not hide anything from Luke.


    "I''ve said that she''ll have to drink the concoction daily for a month. If she stops the treatment, her body


    won''t be able to take it," Luca said coldly. She knew that there were no problems with her prescription;


    the problem was with Bianca.


    Despite Queenie''s gentle temperament, she could not help but raise her voice after she heard that.


    "How can you allow Bea to do as she pleases? You know that she''s ill, and you hid it from us. Are you


    trying to kill her?"
