The man lying on the bed was quiet. Luca listened carefully to his breathing. He was breathing steadily.


    The rm had not woken Luke.


    Luca stood up and looked at Luke, who was still asleep. Although she could not bear to wake him up,


    he would be unhappy if he found out that he had rested for too long.


    Besides, sleeping too much would affect his sleep at night.


    Luca walked to the bed and called him gently, “Mr. Crawford, wake up."


    Luke frowned, as though he was unhappy that someone was disturbing his sweet dreams.


    "Mr. Crawford, time to get up." Luca continued to wake him.


    Luke opened his eyes slowly and looked at the white ceiling. Only then did Luke realize he was in the


    hospital.


    He had a long, sweet dream. He dreamt that he had gotten back together with Luca, and the two of


    them lived happily ever after.


    Luca''s appearance was no longer like how it was in the past. She looked like how she looked now. He


    sleptfortably while having such a dream, and he refused to wake up.


    "How long have I been sleeping?" Luke lifted his hand, thinking of looking at the time. However, he


    remembered that he was in the hospital, and the nurse had kept all his belongings away.


    "You slept for one and half an hours," answered Luca. "How are you feeling now?"


    "Much better." Luke was surprised that he actually slept for one and a half hours. Was it because of the


    medicine?


    Luca nodded. She was d to hear that he was not feeling sick or ufortable. "Then, would you


    like to get up now?"


    "Raise the bed." Luke gave his orders. He had fulfilled Johann''s request and took a nap. He had


    enough rest.


    Luca nodded and raised the bed for him. She noticed the changes in Luke''s expression while she was


    raising the bed.


    Luke''s expression was calm, and it seemed that he was no longer dizzy. He spoke again when he


    almost sat up straight, "Okay."


    "I''m alright. Draw the curtains." Luke noticed how worried Luca was. He wished that he could at least


    pretend he was weak so that Luca could take care of him more. However, the circumstances would not


    allow him to do so as he needed to work.


    The remaining time left for the project could not allow him to dy any longer.


    Luca saw Luke behaving naturally, and there were no signs of him showing that he felt ufortable.


    Thus, she turned around and drew the curtains. Then, she opened the ward''s door and saw Jason,


    who was standing outside the door.


    “Mr. Doyle, how long have you been standing here?”


    Jason let out a sigh of relief when he saw Luca open the door. He closed the folder in his hands. Then,


    he turned around and picked up the briefcase on the floor. "Not that long. I didn''t want to disturb you


    when I saw that you and Mr. Crawford were taking a nap."


    Luca slightly blushed. The way Jason said it made it sound like something was going on between her


    and Luke.


    "Dr. Park gave Mr. Crawford some medicine, and he said Mr. Crawford would feel better if he took a


    nap. That''s why he napped for one and a half hours."


    "Okay. I''m going to pass the documents to Boss." Jason grinned as he walked into the ward and


    handed another pile of documents to Luke. He said, "Boss, these are the documents you have to go


    through."


    "Put these aside. And I''ve finished going through the documents on my right. Take these back." Luke


    nodded. There was not much of an expression on Luke''s face when he saw the pile of documents


    Jason brought. Luke had gotten used to this busy life. He would be able to finish them all even if there


    was another pile of documents.


    Jason nodded and ced the documents on the bedside table. "Alright, Boss. There are tons of


    documents. Dr. Craw can help if you can''t manage all of them by yourself."


    Jason turned around and nced at Luca.


    Luke noticed Jason''s gesture, and he suddenly became upset. Then, he reminded Jason, "You may


    leave if you have nothing else to do here."


    "Okay." Jason had no idea what he had done wrong. However, since his boss had said so, Jason left in


    a hurry.


    Luca stood at the door. She waited until Jason had left, and only then did she return to the ward.


    Luke was already handling his work.


    Luca let out a sigh in her heart when she saw those new documents Jason had brought in just now.


    How would Luke be able to stand it when he was physically weak now...


    As Luca watched Luke sitting on the bed busy working, she asked, "Mr. Crawford, would you like me to


    set up the table for you?"


    "Yes." Luke held one of the documents and raised his hand while looking at her.


    Luca was swift enough to help him to set up the table that was attached beside the hospital bed. Then,


    she put hisptop and the important documents on the table.


    Luke did not say a word. He watched Luca prepare everything for him before resuming work.


    The moment she bent her waist, Luca felt a twinge of pain from the wound on her waist. She gasped


    and sat up straight so that she would not pressure her wound again.


    Even though she had been careful enough, the pain in her body was still reminding her that she


    needed to be cautious.


    Luca knew the wound was inmed.


    It was a rare situation. Her wound had almost recovered, and she would have been able to remove the


    stitches in two days.


    The phone that Luca left on the coffee table vibrated. She picked up her phone and nced at it. It was


    a message from Abel.


    [T Corporation''s bidding document is almost done, right? I want the contents of their bidding document.


    Send the information to me as soon as possible. Don''t try to dy. Otherwise, your daughter will be in


    trouble.]


    Luca looked at Abel''s shameless menace. She sped her phone tight, and the veins on the back of


    her hands popped out. How she wished that she could kill Abel right now.


    Abel knew Luca could not bring herself to do so, and he knew how much the project meant to Luke and


    T Corporation. The project this time was the most important project in T Corporation, especially in


    comparison to Dr. Albus'' drug form. That was why Abel would go as far as to threaten Luca with


    N''s life.


    “What''s wrong?" The soft sound of the vibration had caught Luke''s attention.

    Luca appeared gloomy and depressed after she looked at her phone. She seemed angry.


    "Nothing." Luca came back to her senses and deleted the message. Then, she put down her phone.


    No matter how helpless and angry she was, she could not show her emotions in front of Luke.


    "Who sent you a message?" Luke pretended to ask unwittingly. Although Luca did note clean to


    him, he could sense that something was wrong.


    The veins on the back of Luca''s hands were popping out, and Luca was pursing her lips tightly. It was


    as though she was exasperated.


    Could it be that it was a message sent from the forces behind Luca? Was she being threatened?


    Luke believed that someone was threatening her. Moreover, that person behind Luca was most likely


    holding a grudge against him. That was why Luke had sent his men to investigate the matter, but he did


    not find anything.


    He had even sent people to the Ind of Despair a few times. There was no sign of people living on


    that ind.


    Furthermore, after he cooperated with the Russians to destroy the forces on the Ind of Despair, the


    forces in various regions that were previously oppressed by the Ind of Despair were starting to


    assemble again.


    They had their own territories andbor division. They were getting stronger and stronger. That was


    why it had be even more difficult to figure things out.


    "It''s a message from the property management. It''s time to pay the management fee for the


    apartment." Luca looked down, trying to conceal her unnatural behavior by reading the documents.
