He switched positions with Eric, and his knife was on Luca''s neck. "Come on, shoot me. I promise that


    this woman will die if we die. It''s not too bad having a woman with us on the road to hell. Mr. Crawford,


    what do you say?"


    Luke''s heart tightened when he saw Luca''s pale face and how she was being held against her will by


    the knife on her neck.


    She seemed ufortable and had some difficulty breathing.


    When Eric saw the muzzles of the guns aimed at him, he threw caution to the wind. The most important


    thing now was to escape. The woman in front of them was their only bargaining chip.


    "Yeah, if you dare to shoot us, I''ll stab this knife into her body.”


    Luca heard their threats, and she winked at Luke. She could not speak, so she could only hint at him.


    It was time to turn passive into active...


    Derek said, "Now, get out of the way and get a car ready for us at the door..."


    Luca twisted her bound hands while Derek was talking and hit the acupuncture points of the person


    behind her. Derek was interrupted due to the pain. The knife moved from her neck down to her waist.


    "Ah!" Derek cried out in pain, causing Eric to shudder. He subconsciously thrusted the knife into Luca''s


    waist.


    She expected Eric''s action, so when she turned her hand to avoid the knife, a bullet passed by her with


    a bang and hit Eric''s neck.


    Before Eric could stab the knife into Luca''s body, he fell to the ground.


    Luca heard another shot and Derek fell to the ground as well.


    She was safe...


    Luca turned around and looked at Derek and Eric, who were on the ground. Fortunately, Luke had


    called the police...


    As her world was spinning, her body fell weakly to the ground.


    Even when he saw that she was safe, Luke could not breathe a sigh of relief yet. He quickly ran


    forward and held her in his arms. "It''s alright, you''re alright."


    Luca wanted tough when she heard what he said. However, her face was in a lot of pain. She just


    leaned weakly on him.


    He had always been a man of few words. He would mention the same thing twice only when he was


    extremely concerned.


    ''He cares about me? I''m so tired...I''ll pass out soon...''


    Luca slowly closed her eyes.


    Luke felt distressed when he saw her swollen face. He whispered, "Go to sleep. I''ll take you to the


    hospital."

    The police came over and confirmed that the two kidnappers were still breathing. "Hurry up and send


    the two of them to the hospital. We still need to ask them questions."


    Luke hugged Luca and nced coldly at the police officer who took the shot. "The next time you''re


    about to shoot, think twice."


    If the bullet had strayed just a little, it would have hit Luca''s forehead.


    The police officer had taken a great risk. He wiped the cold sweat from his hands and said, "Mm."


    Luke walked out of the vi with Luca in his arms.


    Jason heard the gunshots from a distance and knew that something had happened. When he saw


    Lukeing out while carrying someone, he took a closer look. It seemed that he was carrying Luca.


    He asked nervously, "Boss, is Dr. Craw okay?"


    "She''s okay. She wasn''t the one who was shot. Open the door," Luke ordered Jason as he walked to


    the door. He was holding Luca in both hands, so he could not open the door.


    Jason quickly opened the door to the backseat.


    Luke bent over. Even when he got into the car, he continued to hold onto Luca and did not want to let


    go.


    Jason saw Luca''s swollen face, and his heart was aching. Luca must have suffered a lot in thest few


    days.


    She was unlucky.


    It had not been long since Luca came to A City but she had been visiting the hospital frequently. It


    might be bad luck.


    Jason did not dare to waste any time. He quickly got into the driver''s seat and thought that Luke must


    have made prior arrangements with the hospital. It was a smart choice to send Luca to the hospital


    now.


    When they were about to drive off, a policeman came over and said, "Mr. Crawford, are you taking Ms.


    Craw to the hospital?"


    "Yes." Luke did not look at the policeman outside the car window. He kept his eyes on Luca.


    "Our colleagues will clear the way for you," the officer said. Although Luca was not seriously injured,


    they might encounter traffic jams on the way. It was great that the police were assisting.


    "Okay." Luke did not refuse.


    Jason was in charge of driving, while the policemen were in charge of clearing the way. They stomped


    on the elerator all the way to the hospital.


    Luke looked at Luca, and her swollen face hid her beauty.


    When he watched the video earlier, his heart had clenched so tightly. Now that he was face to face with


    her, he felt even more distressed.


    "Um..." Luca let out a painful grunt despite being knocked out as the painkiller''s effects had worn off.


    The pain was slowlying back. She could feel the pain despite being knocked out.


    "We''ll be at the hospital soon. You can do this." Luke coaxed her. His tone was soft like he was coaxing


    a child.


    Jason, who was in the driver''s seat, was slightly surprised when he saw this scene. This was the first


    time he had seen the boss act like this.


    He was showing such a tender side to Luca. It seemed that he was interested in her.


    ‘He''s interested in Luca, but what if the real Biancaes back?''


    The car sped all the way and soon reached the hospital.


    Johann came in person to meet them. He looked at Luca, who was on the bed. He shook his head and


    said, "I''m going to give her a detailed examination to see if there are any internal injuries other than the


    surface wounds."


    "Make sure you''re thorough," Luke said.


    "Trust me. By the way, she was pped, right? How many times was she pped, or for how many


    minutes?" Johann asked.


    "I don''t know how many ps but it went on for more than a minute," Luke said. He did not rule out that


    Pierre might have edited the video before the video was sent to him.


    "Okay, leave it to me. Please go through the formalities with Dr. Craw''s ID." Johann pushed the bed


    and escorted Luca to the examination room with the nurse.


    Luke looked at Jason and said, "Go and register her now."


    "Got it." Jason nodded and hurriedly called Tina.


    They did not have Luca''s identification details on hand, so he had to ask Tina for help.


    After receiving Jason''s call, Tina quickly retrieved Luca''s information from the personnel file and took it


    to the hospital.


    After she met Jason, she asked, "Mr. Doyle, how is Dr. Craw now?"


    "The doctor is checking on her. Where are the documents? I''m going to help her register in the


    hospital." Jason asked Tina for the documents.


    Tina handed him the documents. She sighed as she said, "Dr. Craw is so unlucky. She hasn''t been


    here for long but has been admitted to the hospital time and again. People might think that the hospital


    is her home."
