Luke''s brows furrowed even tighter. He knew that the maid was not trying to shirk responsibility. It was
highly likely that the old man himself had asked her to do this.

Old Man Rayne had always been the kind of person who avoided troubling others. If it were not for his
old age and inability to take care of himself, he would never have agreed to have a caretaker look after
him.
The curtain to the emergency room was pulled open.
"Are the family members here?" asked the doctor.
Yes," replied Luke, no longer scolding the maid. Old Man Rayne''s condition mattered the most now.
The doctor nced at Luke and then checked the patient''s examination results. Then, he exined,
"We''ve already sent the patient for examination. The initial diagnosis states that it could be cerebral
vasospasm. We''ve given the patient medication, but we''ll need a neurosurgeon''s consultation for a
specific diagnosis and further treatment."
"Does he need surgery?" Luca asked immediately.
The doctor rified, "That depends on the diagnosis of the attending physician. I''ll get the patient
admitted to the hospital now. You may go to the counter toplete the admission procedures."
"Ask Dr. Park to take a look at Old Man Rayne," said Luca as she turned to Luke. Johann was an
expert in cerebrovascr diseases.
Luca could not trust anyone else to treat Old Man Rayne. She only believed in Johann''s abilities.
The emergency doctor was slightly surprised and asked, "You know Dr. Park?"
ording to hospital regtions, the attending physician for an admitted patient was generally
assigned based on duty schedules unless the patient or family members had specific requests.
Doctors like Johann were almost universally known to every patient or their family members who came
to the general hospital.
However, Johann would not ept every patient since he was too busy, unless it was an especially
challenging case or if he had a close rtionship with the patient...
The emergency doctor did not know which category these family members belonged to.
Luke initially nned for this. He had yet to notify Johann in advance. He wanted to wait until they had
the test results.
However, they needed to inform Johann to take over the patient''s care now. Luke asked the doctor on
duty, "Is there an avable ward on the VIP floor?"
"I''ll have the nurse check for you." The emergency doctor returned to the emergency room. Hospital
room arrangements were not within his scope of work.
Luke dialed Johann''s number while waiting for them to check for the ward''s avability.
Johann had justid down on his bed at that time. When his phone rang, he did not hesitate to answer,
"It''ste. What''s the matter?"
"Come to the hospital. Bianca''s grandfather is sick. The initial diagnosis states that it''s a cerebral
vasospasm." Luke''s serious voice came from the other end of the line.
Johann immediately sat up. Cerebral vasospasm was no trivial matter. "Ask the emergency doctor to
send me the test results. I''m on my way to the hospital now."
"Okay," replied Luke. As he watched the emergency doctor who came walking out again, he asked, "Is
there a ward avable?"
"Yes. Are you sure you want to have the patient admitted to the VIP floor?" The nurse confirmed with
the VIP floor''s nurse that there was an empty ward, so the doctor came out to confirm with them.
Every department in their hospital had VIP wards, but there was an even better level of VIP wards on
the top floor equipped with all the necessary emergency equipment and a patient transport elevator,
making them more expensive than regr VIP wards.
"Yes. Please send the patient''s test results to Dr. Park," said Luke.
The emergency doctor nodded. "I''ll give Dr. Park the patient''s identification number. He''ll be able to
ess it through the hospital''s system."
As the doctor said that, the nurses pushed Old Man Rayne out of the emergency room. "Now, let''s take
the patient upstairs while the family goes to the admission counter."
After that, the nurses pushed the bed away.
Luca could not be bothered about Luke and followed behind the doctor and nurses.
Luke asked the caretaker who was standing on the spot with a nk expression on her face, "Did you
bring Old Man Rayne''s identification?"
"Yes, I did." The maid nodded. She took out Old Man Rayne''s ID and medical insurance card from her
bag.
Luke pulled out his credit card from his wallet and handed it to the maid. Then, he said, "Go to the
counter to handle his admission procedures. Thene to the ward."
"Okay." The maid took the card from him and secretly heaved a sigh at how unlucky she was. It was
her turn to watch over Old Man Rayne today. She did not expect something like this to happen.
She could have avoided Luke''s scolding if another maid had been on duty.
After Luke gave his instructions, he hurried away and caught up with Luca''s steps. They took the
patient transport elevator and quickly arrived at the hospital''s VIP floor.
After Old Man Rayne was sent to the ward, the doctors and nurses were busy doing their job and finally
settled him down.
Luca looked at Old Man Rayne, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed. She felt anxious while
waiting for Johann to arrive.
Luke noticed how worried she was and raised his hand, gently holding hers.
Her hand was ice-cold.
Luke frowned and tightened his grip.
Luca was taken aback for a moment, recalling everything that had happened. Luke had always been
there by her side.
Luke had always stayed by her side quietly, giving her enough courage to face every unexpected
situation.
Previously, when she was trapped on the Ind of Despair and giving birth to N, she had
comined about why Luke had note to save her.
Now, all those past moments were like wisps of smoke. She only remembered that the person who was
there for her in her most helpless moments was Luke.
"Don''t worry," Lukeforted her in a low voice.
"Okay," Luca murmured softly, not dwelling on why he suddenly felt the need to console her.
After a while, Johann called.
The call was for Luke, and he answered it. After he answered the call, he ignored the hospital''s request
to keep quiet and put it on speaker so that Luca could also hear what Johann was saying on the other
end of the line.
"I''ve already reviewed the case. Old Man Rayne''s cerebral vasospasm is quite severe. It needs
immediate attention. There might be a sequ if it''s prolonged. We need to perform surgery on him. Do
you agree to do so?" asked Johann. Even though Old Man Rayne was Luca''s grandfather, her identity
was currently special, and since Wanda was also hospitalized, Luke would be the one to make the
decision.
"I agree," Luke did not hesitate. Like Luca, he had faith in Johann''s diagnosis and abilities.
"Okay. I''ll have the nurse arrange the operating room and take care of other matters. I''ll be at the
hospital soon. Wait for me there. If Old Man Rayne''s daughter can''t sign the consent form, it''ll have to
be you," said Johann. There were several documents that needed to be signed by the patient''s family
member if he were to perform surgery on him.
It was especially since the old man was unconscious and unable to make decisions himself at the
moment.
Whether or not to proceed with the surgery was not solely the old man''s decision.
"Okay. Don''t tell Aunt Wanda about this. I''ll make the decision,” replied Luke without seeking Luca''s
opinion on this matter.
He knew that even if he discussed it with Luca, she would not want to disturb Wanda.
After all, Wanda was still in the process of recovery. If she found out that Old Man Rayne had been
hospitalized and needed surgery, it would affect her mood and dy her recovery process.
This matter had to be kept hidden.
Luca nodded. She agreed with what Luke said. They should not bother Wanda.
