"I won''t let you take the risk without a reasonable exnation," Luke said. Herplexion was doing


    much better, so he believed that she could participate in the meeting.


    Jason was caught between them. He did not dare to breathe loudly for fear of being screamed at by


    either one of them.


    Luca took a deep breath and quickly thought of a reason that could exin everything. "I was caught


    up with work and didn''t pay much attention to the wound. It was infected with a type of fungus, but this


    fungus isn''t ordinary. It took me some time to figure out what it was. I wrote a prescription for myself but


    forgot to bring it to Russia."


    She did not take medicine in time, which caused the wound to be inmed.


    "What caused your wound?" Luke asked. If she gave him a reason, whatever it was, he would agree to


    let her attend the meeting.


    He estimated that the meeting would not take too long as it was only an announcement of the results.


    "I was robbed when I went to Amur''s house. I resisted and got stabbed twice," Luca said.


    Luke''s expression was ashen. He did not believe her reason. It was only possible that the person hurt


    Luca when she was unguarded.


    The person who could hurt her when she was unprepared must be someone familiar to her. He could


    be sure that the person who hurt her was not Amur.


    Regardless, she had given him an exnation.


    Moreover, he couldunch an investigation in this direction.


    "Pack up and let''s get ready to go," Luke said.


    Luca breathed a sigh of relief. She was d that he agreed.


    "Mr. Crawford, I''ll go back to the room to get ready." She stood up, nced at Luke, and walked back to


    her room.


    Jason nced at the time, it was almost time. He deliberately wore casual clothes to buy breakfast to


    prevent his clothes from smelling like breakfast. He was still wearing casual clothes and had to change


    into a suit.


    "Boss, I need to change as well," he said.

    "Clear the table and go," Luke said as he maneuvered the wheelchair back to his room.


    Jason looked at the two closed doors and sighed. He felt unlucky. Luca was injured, so he had to run


    errands now. It did not matter to him. He had to eat, after all.


    However, when it came to cleaning...


    The hotel had cleaning staff, so these tes could be left untouched. The ce would likely be cleaned


    thoroughly after they got back from the meeting.


    Unfortunately, his boss was obsessed with cleanliness. The longer the leftovers were kept on the table,


    the stronger the smell would be in the suite. As such, the mess had to be cleaned immediately.


    Jason looked at the bag on the table and shook his head. ''Things would be different if these weren''t


    takeaways.''


    If Luca had cooked the food, it would be fine even if it stank and rotted on the table because his boss


    favored Luca.


    Jason tossed the packaging into the trash before he left.


    In the room.


    Luca changed into the suit she prepared beforehand. It was a slim fit but did not emphasize the gauze


    wrapped around her waist too much. She had always been petite, so even if she was wrapped in gauze


    and wearing such slim-fitting clothes, she did not appear plump.


    She put on makeup.


    After she put on makeup, she tied her hair up and walked out of the room holding her coat andptop.


    Luke was already waiting for her in the living room. He saw that she was dressed up and in high spirits.


    He said to her, "Be careful when you walk. Don''t tear the wound."


    "I know, Mr. Crawford." Luca''s heart warmed. Luke touched on a lot of serious topics that day, and his


    tone was not the best.


    Nevertheless, she knew that he cared about her.


    She would be lying if she said she was not touched.


    Luca and Luke walked out of the suite in tandem. Luke insisted that she should not push the


    wheelchair since she was wounded.


    Luca looked at theptop on hisp and asked, "Mr. Crawford, why don''t I hold yourptop?"


    When she said that, Luke stopped. He looked at theptop in her hand and said, "Give me your


    laptop."


    Luca understood what he meant. She quickly shook her head. "No, this is not heavy. I can take it."


    Luke''s mood sank. ''She''s holding several pounds. How could she say that it''s not heavy?''


    He was just sitting in a wheelchair and would be able to walk sooner orter. ''What does she think of


    me?''


    "If you don''t want to, go back and rest." Luke gave her two options. It was either she give him the


    laptop and continue to follow him to the meeting or go back to the suite with theptop to rest.


    Luca did not think much of it. She carefully ced theptop on hisp and said, "Is this okay?"


    "It''s my calf, not my thigh that''s injured." Luke reminded her of where he got injured. He thought it was


    not enough, so he said, "Also, I''m not disabled."


    Luca pouted. She did not mean that. She just thought that this man did not need to take everything as


    his responsibility. It was not just about theptop but also in regards to other aspects...


    The two arrived at the hotel lobby where Jason was already waiting.


    Seeing that there were twoptops stacked on Luke''sp, Jason hurriedly walked forward and took the


    twoptops. Now, he had threeptops and a thick briefcase weighing more than ten kilograms in his


    hands.


    Luca felt bad but from their previous conversation, she did not dare to offer help.


    More than ten kilograms was not a problem for Jason. After all, his two precious daughters were more


    than ten kilograms. He could still hold one in his left hand and another in his right hand and spin circles


    with them in his arms.


    "Boss, Dr. Craw, the car is waiting outside," Jason said.


    "Let''s go." Luke looked grim. He controlled the wheelchair himself as Jason had threeptops in his


    hands.


    Luca looked at them. Of the three, she had it easiest. Luke insisted that she did not do anything,


    including pushing the wheelchair.


    After the three of them got into the car, Luke read the news on his phone. The local news in Russia


    was also talking about the meeting.


    He had long heard that the Russian government attached great importance to this bid.


    Jason ced the threeptops down carefully. He then cradled his briefcase in his arms.


    The threeptops were expensive, but for Luke, the files in the briefcase were the most important.


    They were not worth much but they were useful to Luke.


    The driver was from the hotel. Even though it was snowing heavily, he still drove steadily. After they


    arrived at M Group, he parked the car and said to them in broken English, "Mr. Crawford, I wish you


    well and hope that you win the tender."
