    Chapter 3272 How Did They Find Out?


    After Luke adjusted the bed to a 45-degree angle, he finally stopped.


    "This should be good," said Luke, carefully watching Luca''s condition. "Are you feeling unwell at all?"


    *No, this is fine," replied Luca. Her back was pressed firmly against the mattress, and she felt a bit ufortable.


    "Luke, could you help me prop up the pillow?" asked Luca.


    "Sure." Luke adjusted the pillow for her.


    Luca leaned back fully against the pillow and smiled. "This is much better."


    "Let''s eat first." Luke opened the meal that Aunt Neile had brought. As he was about to feed her, the caretaker spoke up, "Mr. Crawford, I can do that."


    The caretaker felt a bit awkward. She had been hired to take care of Luca, but she had not needed to feed her or even buy meals for her. With Luca mostly lying down and not needing much, the job seemed almost too easy, and she felt a bit guilty about it.


    *No need, I''ll do it," replied Luke. He was not nning to let anyone else take care of Luca.


    Luca added, "Miss, you should go downstairs and have your meal."


    *Alright. If you need anything, just call me," reminded the caretaker before leaving.


    After she left, Luca said, "I think hiring a caretaker was a mistake."


    "Why do you say that?" asked Luke as he picked up a piece of vegetable for her. Johann mentioned that Luca could start eating solid food, so he had Aunt Neile prepare some food although the meal was still pretty nd. *The caretaker seems ufortable since you''re doing everything yourself," replied Luca with a smile.


    *There are some things I need to handle personally to feel assured," said Luke. He spooned a small amount of food and gently fed it to her.


    The scene was filled with warmth and happiness.


    A nurse entered to deliver medication and could not help but feel a pang of envy at the sight. After she put down the medicine, she nced back at them before leaving, thinking how content she would be if her boyfriend treated her this way if she were ever hospitalized.


    After the meal, Luca rested for a bit and then took her medication.


    Once she finished, Luke helped her lie back down to continue resting.


    Just as Luca settled in, her phone rang on the bedside table.


    She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Queenie.


    "It''s Mrs. Norman." Luca turned to look at Luke.


    "I didn''t tell her about your ident." Luke shook his head, indicating he had not said anything. However, he added, "You should answer it. This isn''t something we can keep from her."


    Luca agreed.


    Since Old Master Crawford knew, it was not surprising that Jack and Queenie knew as well.


    Luca answered the call.


    "Hello, Mrs. Norman." Luca greeted her first.


    Queenie''s voice came through the phone. "Luca, I heard you were in a car ident and ended up in the hospital.


    Is that true?"


    "Yes, that''s right. Someone rear-ended me," answered Luca.


    "A rear-end collision, and it was serious enough to hospitalize you?" Queenie frowned. Typically, a rear-end collision would just damage the car unless the other driver was speeding.


    "The car that hit me was going pretty fast, so I ended up crashing into the car in front of me," exined Luca. If there had not been a car in front of her at the time, maybe she would have been fine.


    It was also possible something worse could have happened.


    Given Karen''s reckless determination to harm her, if there had not been a car in front, Karen might have floored the gas pedal and crashed Luca into something else. She might even flip Luca''s car to cause more damage.


    *That''s outrageous! That person must have done it on purpose!" Queenie knew the situation well and was certain Karen had deliberately targeted Luca.


    Luca nced at Luke, who was also watching her.


    Queenie continued, "So, where are you hurt? Is it serious? What did the doctors say?"


    "Don''t worry. I just have a concussion. The doctor said if everything looks good today, I can go home tomorrow," Luca reassured her.


    "You''re getting discharged tomorrow? In that case, Jack and I wille byter," replied Queenie. She had just found out about the ident.


    Luke had kept it from her and had not said anything.


    If Jack had not found out about it, she would still be in the dark.


    "Mrs. Norman, it''s prettyte, so there''s no need to rush over. I''m really fine and will be discharged tomorrow, Luca quickly tried to dissuade her.


    She thought about how Jack had worked all day and might have toe to the hospital at night. She felt a bit guilty.


    *That won''t do. Besides, since you''re in the hospital, I n to stay with you overnight," replied Queenie, clearly intent on being there.


    *That''s really not necessary. Luke is here with me," said Luca.


    *Don''t try to fool me. Luke is busy. He can''t possibly manage everything," replied Queenie.


    Luca nced at Luke.


    Catching her look, he spoke into the phone, "Mom, I''m really here taking care of her. You don''t need toe. Once Luca is discharged tomorrow, I''ll send someone to pick you up."


    When Queenie heard his voice, she finally let out a sigh of relief. "So, you really are there."


    "I wouldn''t lie to you. Please don''t worry. I''m feeling much better now, and I''ll definitely be discharged tomorrow.


    You''re a bit far from the hospital, so there''s no need for you to make the trip tonight," added Luca.


    *Alright then. I''lle see you tomorrow after you''re discharged. I''ll have time to make some soup for you," replied Queenie, thinking she could bring some homemade soup when she visited the next day.


    "Okay." Luca heaved a sigh of relief, d she had managed to convince Queenie.


    Luke took her phone and said, "Mom, don''t worry, I''ll take good care of Luca."


    *Alright, I''ll hang up now. Take good care of her," replied Queenie.


    After the call ended, Luca took her phone back.


    "I didn''t expect her to find out too."


    Luke looked a bit helpless. "I was trying to keep it from her."


    "Rhett knows too." Luca nced at her phone and saw that Rhett had sent her a message.


    Luke raised an eyebrow. "How did they find out?"


    "Maybe someone from T Corporation knew, and the news spread to him," guessed Luca. After all, their team had worked at T Corporation before, so they still had some connections there.


    Luke sighed. "What did he say?"Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    *He asked which ward I''m in and mentioned that the whole research team wants toe visit me after work," answered Luca while texting Rhett back, letting him know she was getting discharged soon and that they did not need toe to visit.


    Rhett quickly responded: [Dr. Craw, if that''s the case, where''s your ce? Some of us would still like to visit you.] Luca replied to him: [There''s really no need. I''m fine, and I''ll be back to work in a couple of days.]


    After sending the message, she put her phone down.


    Luke let out a cold snort, "Jason really can''t keep a secret. I should have a serious talk with him today."


    Luca replied helplessly, "You can''t really me him. Old Master Crawford asked him first, so he didn''t have much choice."


    She figured that when the old master inquired, there must have been someone around Jason, which was how the news spread and eventually reached Rhett and the others.


    "You''re always sticking up for him," Luke remarked as he stood up. "We''ll have to settle for just wiping you down


    today."


    Luca groaned. "I feel like I''m going to start growing mushrooms."


    "Well, they''d be fragrant mushrooms. Hang in there. You can take a proper shower at home tomorrow," replied Luke as he walked into the bathroom.
