    Chapter 3268 Details Of The Car ident


    Luke nodded to the doctor, indicating his agreement.


    The doctor returned to his office and prescribed medication for Luca.


    Ten minutester, a nurse walked in with the medicine. After watching Luca take it, she advised, "You should rest now. If you feel ufortable, just press the call button."


    "Okay, thank you." Luca closed her eyes.


    Luke gently pulled the nket over her.


    After a moment, Luca opened her eyes and said, "Luke, how about you stay with me while I sleep?"


    "I''m worried I might squish you," replied Luke. Even though the bed in the VIP ward was wider than a standard hospital bed, it was still a single bed.


    It was not that two people could not fit on it, but he wanted her to rest well.


    Luca said, "I''ve been having bad dreams. If you stay beside me, I think I''ll sleep better."


    "Alright." Luke agreed and got into bed from the other side.


    Once he settled in, Luca turned to her side. After getting used to the dizziness, she hugged Luke. He smelled different today. He must have used the hospital''s body wash.


    It did not smell as nice as the one they had at home, but she loved his scent no matter what.


    With his familiar scent recing the unpleasant smell of disinfectant, she felt at ease.


    "Luke," Luca mumbled as she started to drift off, the sleep-inducing effects of the fever medicine kicking in.


    "Hmm?" Luke gently stroked her back,forting her like a child and soothing her unease so that she could sleep peacefully.


    "I want to go home," murmured Luca.


    "We''ll go home when you feel better." Luke closed his eyes. His hand never stopped gently stroking her.


    At this moment, she reminded him of how Bianca used to be.


    Back then, no matter how hurt or sick Luca was, she was always so strong. She never showed any vulnerability like she was doing now.


    Perhaps she did not feel secure at that time, believing she could only rely on herself, so she never allowed herself to show any weakness.


    However, things were different now. She felt safe enough to show her vulnerable side to him.


    He was her support.


    "Okay, let''s go home together," Luca mumbled onest time before falling into a deep sleep.


    When Luca woke up the next morning, Luke had already gotten out of bed.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She reached out and touched the spot next to her. There was still some warmth left on the sheets. Then, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. She figured that Luke was washing up.


    Lucay back.


    She realized that her dizziness was gone.


    She tried to sit up, but as soon as she lifted her head slightly, the world spun around her, forcing her to lie back


    "They probably already know, right?" asked Luca.


    "Nina went over, so they definitely know. But I also told them you''re fine and that you''ll be home after a couple of days in the hospital," Luke reassured her.


    "Okay," replied Luca.


    After emptying the basin, Luke sat down beside the bed, picked up his phone, and called Nina.


    "Mr. Crawford, how''s Luca doing?" Nina asked as soon as she answered the call without waiting for Luke to speak.


    She was furious when she heard that Karen had gone off the deep end and rear-ended Luca''s car. She wanted nothing more than to confront Karen.


    However, Percy stopped her.


    He pointed out that Karen had been taken into custody by the police, and no one could visit her. Karen imed she had a mental illness and did not intentionally crash the car.


    The police were likely arranging for a psychologist to assess her.


    Now, only herwyer could see her.


    With no other options, Nina took the initiative to offer to look after the three kids.


    "I''m feeling better," said Luca. Her eyes were still closed.


    "You gave me a scare. How about turning on the camera?" asked Nina. She wanted to see for herself that Luca was okay.


    She knew it was just a bump on the forehead and a mild concussion, nothing too serious, but she could not help worrying.


    "Maybe not. I''m a bit of a mess right now. But don''t worry, I''m okay. By the way, are the kids with you?"


    "Yes, they knew it was Mr. Crawford calling and figured you''d want to talk to them, so they''re all here. I''ve got the speaker on," said Nina just before the three children''s voices filled the room.


    *Are you feeling better, Ms. Luca?"


    *Are you okay, Ms. Luca?"


    "When are youing home, Ms. Luca?"


    Luca felt a pang of guilt when she heard the concern in their voices.


    It should be the mother worrying about the children, but here they were, worried about her instead.


    Luca answered, "I just need to stay in the hospital for 24 hours for observation. If everything''s fine, I''ll be home soon. In the meantime, you all need to listen to Ms. Nina and Aunt Neile, okay?"


    "Okay, we''ll be good," the three children chorused.


    Luca then asked how their homework was going.


    After hearing that they had finished it, she let out a yawn.


    Luke saw that and said to the kids, "Alright, it''s gettingte. She needs to rest, and you should too. Don''t give Ms. Nina a hard time."


    "Got it, Dad," they replied in unison.


    After hanging up, Luca pouted slightly. "I wanted to talk to them a bit more."


    "You''ll be home the day after tomorrow. They''ll have plenty to say to you then," Luke reassured her as he tucked


    her in. Then, he leaned down to press a kiss on her forehead. "Now, get some rest."


    "Okay, goodnight," replied Luca.


    "Goodnight. Don''t worry, I''m right here," said Luke.


    Luca eventually fell asleep even though she felt unwell.


    She had one dream after another. None of them were nightmares, but none of themforting either.


    She dreamt of Abel, then of Karen...


    When she finally woke up, she was drenched in sweat.


    *Luca." She heard Luke calling her softly. When she opened her eyes, everything was pitch-ck.


    Panicking, Luca eximed, "Luke, I can''t see!"


    A momentter, she heard a click, and the lights were turned on. She realized it was not that she could not see


    but that it was still in the middle of the night.


    She had only been asleep for a short while, but it felt like much longer.


    Luke ced his hand on her forehead with his brows furrowed together. "You were mumbling in your sleep."


    *I had some bad dreams, but that''s normal. My body''s not feeling great, so my sleep quality isn''t either," exined


    Luca.


    She thought it was nothing serious until he said, "Your forehead feels a bit hot. I''ll call the nurse to check on you."


    Then, Luke pressed the call button.


    The nurse quickly arrived. After taking Luca''s temperature, she frowned. "It''s 102°F, a bit of a fever. I''ll get the doctor to see if you need some fever medication."


    After the nurse left, and soon the on-call doctor came in.


    The doctor gave Luca a quick examination. He confirmed it was just a fever from the shock, and everyone let out


    a sigh of relief. "It''s nothing serious. Take some fever medicine, and you should feel better soon."


    *Can she get an injection? It might work faster," asked Luke.


    *She could, but the fever isn''t too high, so an injection isn''t really necessary. I''d rmend just taking the


    medicine," suggested the doctor.


    Luca knew Luke wanted her to feel better quickly, but she also understood the doctor''s reasoning. Hence, she said, "Just the medicine would be fine."
