Luca read thements on the statement. Most of thementers said that they did not believe it.


    Even though both parties had already issued their statements, they still believed that something was


    going on between Luke and Tia, and the statements did not reflect the full picture.


    A public figure like Luke Crawford would definitely attract a lot of attention, especially when he was


    rumored to have done something that defied social norms. Naturally, the people did not wish for the


    incident to end just like that.


    It seemed that the scandal would continue to brew for some time.


    Thementers either said that Tia was shameless to seduce a married man, or they stood on Tia’s


    side and said that she was a good match for Luke. Luca put her phone away and sighed.


    She did not know why she sighed. She could not clear her thoughts.


    …


    The next day, Luca stayed in bed. When she woke up and looked at the clock, it was already noon.


    She had a long and turbulent dream about Luke and Tia. Even though the dream troubled her, she


    managed to get some sleep, and she felt a lot better after waking up.


    She slowly got out of bed and made some lunch for herself. After eating, she cleaned herself and went


    to the hospital.


    Talia had miscarried, and her body was still weak. Luca nned to visit her.


    When she arrived at the hospital, she did not know which room Talia was in. She had to ask for that


    information at the nurses’ station.


    The nurse became noticeably wary after hearing that Luca wanted to visit Talia. She asked, “Are you a


    family member of the patient?”


    “No, I’m her superior at work. I’m here to visit her because I’ve heard that she was ill,” Luca exined.


    “Are you really her superior at work? I haven’t seen you before,” the nurse said doubtfully, continuing to


    withhold information about Talia’s room from Luca.


    “Today is Saturday, isn’t it? I’ve been busy at work for the past few days. I’ve finally managed to make


    time to visit her. I’m really her superior at work. See, I brought her gifts too,” Luca said.


    The nurse thought that Luca did not look like a bad person. “She’s at Room 1421,” she said.


    Luca nodded, though she asked curiously, “Excuse me, Miss, may I ask you a question?”


    “What is it?”


    “Why did you look so wary when I mentioned Talia Sullivan’s name? Did something happen over the


    past few days?” Luca asked.


    The nurse sighed and said, “I shouldn’t be telling anyone else about the patient’s personal matters, but


    if you said that you’re her superior at work, then you should know what happened. The father of the


    miscarried child is her manager in the office. It’s not umon for a woman with a weak constitution


    to miscarry, but the father of the child is already married to another woman. When the father’s legally


    married wife knew about it, she hired people to cause trouble here every day. They have seriously


    affected the doctors and nurses at the hospital, not to mention it’s causing a lot of distress to the


    patient. Two days ago, those troublemakers even roughed up another pregnant woman and caused her


    to go intobor prematurely. In any case, we can’t discharge Ms. Sullivan because she has a weak


    constitution. We moved her to another room yesterday, and the director ordered us not to give out her


    new room number so easily.”


    Luca nodded. “Don’t worry. I’m not here to cause trouble.”


    “You don’t look like a troublemaker. However, the patient has been depressed for the past few days. If


    she listens to you, you should tell her to leave that man. She’s still young, and she’ll be able to bear


    children again,” the nurse said.


    Luca smiled, nodded, and went toward the elevator.


    In front of Room 1421, she knocked on the door and went inside.


    There was only a single patient in the room. When Luca went inside, a middle-aged woman stood up


    and asked Luca, “Who are you?”


    “I’m Luca Craw, Talia’s colleague,” Luca said as she looked at Talia on the bed.


    Talia was taken aback when she saw Luca. “Why did youe here, Dr. Craw?”


    “I’ve heard that you’re hospitalized, so I’m here to visit you. I’ve been busy with my research for the


    past two days, and I only managed to find some time today because it’s the weekend,” Luca said and


    put the bag of health supplements on the table. “You need more nutrition now. Here, all these are for


    you.”


    The middle-aged woman looked at the bag of supplements on the table and realized that Luca was not


    one of the troublemakers that harassed them for the past two days. She let her guard down and said


    eagerly, “You shouldn’t have, Ms. Craw. We can’t ept that.”


    “The supplements are suitable for Talia’s current condition, and I think she should take them. Are you


    Talia’s mother?” Luca asked.


    “Yes, I am.” Even though Talia’s mother was a housewife, she could tell that Luca was more than a


    colleague when she heard Talia call her “Dr. Craw.”


    Many people hade to visit Talia ever since she was hospitalized, but they all came in and cursed at


    Talia. Some of them even tried to drag her out of bed, which caused her to lose a lot of blood.


    Since then, every visitor came to use Talia of being a seductress. None of them cared for her


    condition, including the child’s father, who had deliberately avoided her after bringing her to the


    hospital.


    The mother and daughter had been bullied by the hooligans hired by the man’s wife.


    Talia’s mother wondered if Luca’s rank in thepany was higher than that man’s rank and if Luca


    could stand up for Talia.


    “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Sullivan,” Luca greeted Talia’s mother, then turned to look at Talia.


    The gossip in thepany group chat had not stopped talking about her ever since she was


    hospitalized. It caused a sensation when someone found out that her child’s father was Dr. Cole


    Kidman.


    Luca could guess from the expression on Talia’s mother’s face that none of the people from T


    Corporation or Watson hade to visit Talia, perhaps because they did not want to offend Cole.


    Tears welled up in the woman’s eyes, and she seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion. “You have to


    help Talia, Ms. Craw. I understand that she’s notpletely innocent, but she’s also a victim.”


    Luca’s expression remained impassive.


    Talia was slightly embarrassed when she heard her mother bed Luca. After all, she had deliberately


    harmed Luca.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
