Chapter 1305 Luca Did Not Drink the Wine


    "Let her rest for a little longer. If she hasn''t woken up by tomorrow, I''ll know what to do. You should go


    to bed," Luke said to Tommy.


    Tommy nodded, though he could not be at ease when he saw that Luca was still unconscious. "Can I


    sleep beside Ms. Luca?" He asked.


    "You can''t," Luke refused without any hesitation.


    "Why not?" Tommy protested. "I''m worried about Ms. Luca, and I hope that I’ll be the first person she


    sees when she wakes up."


    "That won''t be good for you. If you don''t listen to me, I''ll bring her downstairs," Luke said coldly.


    He knew that Tommy was worried about Luca, and the boy would not sleep if hey by her side.


    That was why he insisted on Tommy sleeping in his room.


    When he heard that Luke was going to bring Luca downstairs, Tommy knew better than to challenge


    his father''s authority. "Please don''t. I''ll go and sleep in my room.


    I hope you can get well soon, Ms. Luca."


    Then, he turned around and left.


    Luke saw that Tommy kept on turning his head back to look at the bed, though he did not take pity on


    the boy.


    After Tommy left, Luke tucked her in. Then, he went to take hisptop from the coffee table and sat on


    the couch in the room. He continued to work while waiting for Luca to wake up.


    Soon, he received a phone call from Jason.


    When the call went through, Jason said, "Mr. Crawford, Dr. Albus and the others have woken up."


    "They have? How about Abel?" Luke asked.


    "I''ve heard that he woke up too," Jason replied.


    "Is Dr. Albus with you now?" Luke asked again.


    "He is. Should I hand the phone to him?" Jason looked at Dr. Albus and the others. After they woke up,


    they did not know what happened, and they did not see Luca in the room. They tried calling her to no


    avail, so they returned to the hotel.


    "Hand him the phone," Luke said while changing a pose, though he knew that the woman on the bed


    would not wake up no matter how loudly he spoke.


    Jason handed the phone to Dr. Albus. "Mr. Crawford wants to talk to you."


    Dr. Albus did not know why Luke wanted to talk to him. He took the phone and said courteously, "Good


    evening, Mr. Crawford."


    "Why did you drink with Abel?" Luke asked.


    "After the conference, Mr. Abel sent someone to invite us upstairs for a drink. We didn''t have any good


    reason to refuse, so we epted the invitation," Dr. Albus exined, wondering if Luke was angry.


    "Did everyone go together?" Luke asked.


    "Yes," Dr. Albus replied. He looked at Jason uneasily, but Jason did not react.


    "What happened after that?" Luke continued to ask.


    "We drank quite a bit, and we passed out. We only woke up half an hour ago. What happened, Mr.


    Crawford?" Dr. Albus was not used to Luke''s interrogation, and he wanted to know what had


    happened.


    "You only woke up half an hour ago?" Luke repeated Dr. Albus''s statement. Luca was still unconscious


    even though the others had woken up.


    "Yes." Dr. Albus was thoroughly confused. He could only answer what he was asked.


    "Did all of you wake up together?" Luke asked.


    "Yes. All of us drank about the same amount of wine, so we woke up at the same time..." Dr. Albus


    realized that there was something wrong with his answer. He was a pharmaceutical researcher, so he


    knew about the effects of alcohol on one''s body.


    Despite drinking almost the same amount of alcohol, the people should have woken up at different


    times because of how their bodies metabolized alcohol differently. Why did they pass out and wake up


    at the same time?


    "Did something happen, Mr. Crawford?" Dr. Albus asked after realizing that something was amiss.


    "Hand the phone back to Mr. Doyle," Luke said coldly.


    Dr. Albus did what he was told.


    Jason took the phone and ced it next to his ear. "Any further instructions, Mr. Crawford?"


    "Contact Johann to take their blood samples. I want to know if there''s some other reason that caused


    them to pass out and wake up at the same time," Luke said.


    Jason understood what Luke meant. He nodded and said," I''ll go and make arrangements."


    Luke ended the call, nced at the unconscious woman on the bed, and continued to work on his


    laptop.


    Meanwhile, Dr. Albus was feeling quite uneasy. He asked Jason, "Mr. Doyle, were we drugged?


    Otherwise, how could we pass out and wake up at the same time?"


    Jason was looking for Johann''s number in the address book when he heard that question. He chuckled


    and said, "How would I know? You''re the biology expert. You should know better than me."


    Dr. Albus had no retort to that.


    If they were truly drugged, it would have been a humiliating episode.


    After the call went through, Jason briefly exined the situation to Johann, to which Johann replied that


    he would make arrangements immediately at the hospital.


    After Jason ended the call, Rhett asked him, "Mr. Doyle, do you know where Dr. Craw is? Did she


    return to the hotel before us?"


    They expected that Luca had returned to the hotel because she did not drink any alcohol. That was


    also why they were not worried when they did not see her after they woke up.


    Now that they realized that they might have been drugged, they began to worry for Luca''s safety.


    Out of the three people, only Rhett was worried about Luca. Jason said, "Dr. Craw is fine, of course."


    He did not tell them about the live stream. The fewer people who knew about it, the less drama there


    would be.


    Rhett nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "That''s good to know."


    Dr. Albus said huffily, "Of course she''s fine. She didn''t drink any alcohol."


    Jason frowned when he heard that. "Dr. Albus, are you saying that Dr. Craw didn''t drink alcohol along


    with the rest?"


    Dr. Albus nodded. "Dr. Craw said that she wasn''t feeling well, so she didn''t drink the wine. What''s


    wrong?"


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


    "It''s nothing. I''ve already informed the driver to wait for you downstairs. Please go to the hospital and


    have your blood samples taken," Jason said while typing a message. He told Luke that Luca did not


    drink any alcohol.


    Luke frowned slightly when he read the message.


    Luca did not drink alcohol, but she seemed drunk. He could only conclude that Luca was indeed


    drugged.


    Luca had always been wary and had always brought a stash of medicine with her. That was already


    unusual enough, and to find that she was drugged...


    Luke finished his work at one o''clock, but Luca remained unconscious.


    He put hisptop away and sat on the chair next to the bed. Tommy had brought the chair from the


    dining hall into the bedroom so that he could stay next to Luca.


    The redness of Luca''s face had faded a little.
