“Isn''t your brother back here? Let him pay the fees," said Luke. He mentioned Amur on purpose.
Luca nodded and nced at Luke. Then, she stood up and said, "Mr. Crawford, I''m going out to make
a call."
Luca walked out of the ward before Luke could say anything.
Luca leaned on the wall. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
It was difficult for her to lie to Luke.
Luca touched where her wound was with one of her hands. She reckoned that she would have to
return to the mansion to get some medicine. She could not ask someone to get it for her as this was a
personal matter.
"It''s you." After Luca calmed herself down, she heard a voice when she was about to return to the
ward.
Luca looked in the direction where the voice wasing from. With her good memory, she was able to
recognize that person as the rtive of the man whom Jean had injured.
It was the man who threatened Nina this morning.
"Can I help you?" Luca replied with a cold tone of voice. If it were not for Nina, she would not have
been bothered to entertain this person who had been rude to Nina.
Keith was sizing Luca up. This woman was prettier than Nina.
Besides, Keith''s aunt told him that this woman had followed Nina into the ward to visit Tyrone. She
thought Luca was perhaps rted to Nina.
"Do you recognize me?" Luca had caught Keith''s interest. Keith thought that he would be able to
pursue the woman in front of him even if he could not get Nina.
"The ward next door." Luca pointed at the ward opposite her.
"Yes. You''ve got a good memory. Oh, you''re here for..." Keith noticed that Luca''s hand was on the
doorknob. "Is the person inside one of your rtives?"
"It''s my boss," replied Luca. She could not be considered Luke''s rtive due to her identity now.
"So, the person in there is your boss. Are you working as a caretaker?" Keith immediately thought that
Luca was working as a full-time caretaker. That was why Nina knew her.
After all, the man who supported Nina allowed her to easily arrange a VIP ward for Nina. It must be
easy for Nina to enter VIP wards considering how she was relying on such a wealthy man. That was
probably how Nina got to know a caretaker like Luca.
"What''s the matter?" Luca did not feel like talking to the man in front of her.
“It''s nothing important. I was wondering how much you charge per day. We''re nning to get a
caretaker for the person staying in this ward, my cousin. That''s why I want to ask you whether you''re
interested in the opportunity. The fees won''t be a problem. We can afford it anyway." Keith deliberately
pretended to sound like a deep-pocketed man, thinking that Luca would agree with this.
After all, there were no contracts between the employer and caretakers. Hence, caretakers would
certainly choose the party who offered more money.
Keith refused to believe that Luca would miss out on such a good chance to earn some money.
"I''m not interested," said Luca. Even though she knew Keith had misunderstood what her job was, she
did not exin it to him either. "You can ask the nurse if you''re looking for a caretaker. They know some
professional caretakers. Judging by your cousin''s condition, it''d be better for you to look for a
professional caretaker to take care of him."
“Aren''t you professional enough?" Keith insisted on hiring her. “We can afford to pay as much as you
want. We''re rich."
“Stop talking so loud outside the wards. You''re disturbing the others," said Luca. She pushed the door
open and walked into the ward.
Keith was curious and wanted to take a look inside the ward. What kind of person could make Luca
loyal to them?
However, Luca closed the door relentlessly. She even pulled the curtains of the window on the door to
prevent Keith from peeking inside.
Keith did not manage to catch a glimpse. He could not help but feel embarrassed, and he muttered to
himself in a low voice, "What''s so great about that? You''re just a f*cking caretaker. How dare you look
down on me?! Just wait and see how much money we can get from that woman when Tyrone recovers.
You won''t be good enough for me when the timees!"
Luke watched Luca walk into the ward. Even though the soundproofing of the ward was good enough,
he could still hear the noises outside the door.
“What''s with the noises just now?" Luke asked.
Luca exined, “It''s someone from the opposite ward. Nina''s brother injured someone. She arranged
for the patient to be transferred to the opposite ward to receive treatment."
Luke nodded andmented, “Jean is such a troublemaker. It seems he didn''t learn his lesson when
he was in prison back then."
Luca agreed with him and nodded. It was onlyter that she realized her conversation with Luke
sounded like they were having small talk.
Luca cleared her throat and did not answer him. She stepped forward and poured a ss of warm
water for him. She said, “Mr. Crawford, please have a ss of water."
“Put it aside," said Luke.
Luca set the ss of water aside. Then, she returned to the sofa and sat down to continue with her
work.
It was four in the afternoon when Jason showed up in the ward. He came to take the documents.
Luca handed Jason the documents that Luke had finished working on. At the same time, she also
handed the source documents to Jason, while she sent the tranted files to Alya directly.
Jason turned to look at Luke after he took the documents from Luca and said, “Boss, there are some
matters about the project that I have to report to you."
"Say it." Luke''s gaze did not move away from theptop screen.
Luca silently stood up and walked to the door when she heard that it was something rted to the
project.
Jason noticed that and turned around to look at Luca. Then, he looked at Luke again.
"Didn''t you say you need to report something to me?" Luke asked impatiently. He did not stop Luca
when she tried to excuse herself from their conversation.
Jason nodded and reported to Luke immediately. He could not talk about these on the phone, and he
had to report them to him personally.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
Luca could not hear anything once the door was closed. She could not help but wonder. She came
here to gather intelligence, but she took the initiative to excuse herself. At the end of the day, she still
refused to do anything that would harm Luke.
Johann came over and saw Luca standing outside the door. He asked, "Dr. Craw, why are you standing
here alone?"
"Mr. Doyle is reporting to Mr. Crawford in there," exined Luca.
Johann was a wise man. He nodded and waited outside the door together with her.
"How is Luke feeling this afternoon?" Johann asked.
Johann did note to see Luke for the whole afternoon. It was not that he was not worried about
Luke. It was just that he was so busy that he could barely find any time toe over.
Johann hurried over here once he finished performing an operation and after he handed over the rest
of the tasks.
"He napped for an hour and a half after he took the medicine. He''s feeling much better now, and he
doesn''t feel dizzy anymore when he sits up straight," reported Luca.
Johann nodded and asked, "What''s wrong with your waist?"
Luca looked at him, puzzled, "Nothing."
"I noticed that you''ve been supporting your waist with your arm when you''re talking to me. Are you
really okay?" Johann asked. He was pretty sure that it was not a habit of Luca''s. After all, she did not
have this habit back then.
Johann could figure out what was wrong with patients by just observing them. It became his instinct
after being a doctor for so many years. That was why Johann thought something must be wrong when
Luca stood here with her hand supporting her waist.
Luca lowered her head and nced at her hand.
She was unconsciously protecting the wound on her waist with her hand.
