    Chapter 3299 You Don''t Doubt My Skills, Do You?


    "After Percy brought Nina back from the Maldives the first time, he seemed a bit different.


    He even started asking me about rtionship issues," exined Luke.


    That was the first time he had seen Percy like that, and he figured it was because his mindset had changed during that time.


    Hence, Luke felt they must have gone to the Maldives.


    Luca held his hand and clucked her tongue. "I can''t believe the usually decisive Mr. Mallory would be troubled by rtionship matters one day."


    "I knew from that moment that I''d be attending their wedding one day," added Luke.


    Luca looked at his smug expression and could not help butugh. "You''re so full of yourself! When I found out that Nina was with Percy, I didn''t think much of it. I just wanted her to be happy. Now, she really is."


    "We''re happy too," replied Luke as he pulled her into an embrace.


    As they walked into the living room, the cool air from the air conditioning helped to dispel the heat.


    "Ah, that feels refreshing," said Luca.


    "Wee back, Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, greeted Aunt Neile as she walked out of the kitchen. She had heard them in the living room. "Are you two going back to Crawford Manor for dinner tonight?"


    "No, we''ll just eat at home," replied Luca.


    "Alright, I made some smoothies. Would you like some?" asked Aunt Neile.


    "Sure, let''s have two," replied Luca. The weather in A City was really hot, especially when Jean and Anna were making a fuss at the entrance of Crawford Manor. The heat made it frustrating to stand around for too long.


    She took Luke''s hand, walked into the dining room, and said, "Will you join me for a ss of smoothie?"


    "I''m truly honored," Luke replied with a smile.


    Aunt Neile brought in the smoothies, and after they finished, Luke''s phone rang.


    "It''s Gale." Luke picked up the phone and tapped to answer. "What''s the matter?"


    "Boss, could you ask Dr. Craw when she''s avable?" asked Gale.


    "He''s looking for you," said Luke as he handed the phone to Luca.


    She took it curiously and leaned in to ask, "Mr. Cale, what''s going on?"


    "It''s about Gordan. He''s been discharged from the hospital and wants to know when you''re free to carry out dry needling treatment," exined Gale.


    Luca had agreed to help treat Gordan, but he had not heard from her even though he had


    been discharged for several days. Now, Gale was checking in.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Gordan was also considered to be working for Luke now.


    After a few rounds of coboration, Gale had developed a good rapport with Gordan.


    If Gordan''s hand did not heal properly, it would affect his ability to take on future tasks.


    "Sorry, I''ve been so busytely that I forgot. I''m avable now. I''ll head to his ce. Can you send me the address? replied Luca, still unaware of where Gordan was staying.


    "No need to trouble yourself with the back and forth. I''ll bring him over. We''lle by shortly. Thank you, Dr. Craw," said Gale before hanging up.


    Luca returned the phone to Luke. "Did you know Mr. Norton was discharged?"


    "Gale mentioned it," answered Luke.


    "Why didn''t you tell me he was discharged? He still needs dry needling treatment for his hand. The nerves have been connected, but it''s also important to promote the growth of the nerves and muscles, or it''ll take a long time for him to recover. He won''t be able to take on tasks, then." Luca sounded a bit annoyed and helpless.


    "It slipped my mind," exined Luke.


    Since Gordan was recovering well, it had slipped his mind.


    Luca remained silent.


    "Why don''t you go take a nap in the bedroom before they arrive?" suggested Luke.


    Luca shook her head. "I''m not going to sleep. I need to get ready."


    "Ready for what?" asked Luke.


    "I need to prepare the dry needling tools," answered Luca. She rose to her feet and left the dining area with him. "The dry needling method is different from the usual.


    "How is it different?" Luke was puzzled. Was dry needling treatment not always the same? Luca exined, "The needles I''m using this time were brought back from abroad."


    She almost mentioned the Ind of Despair but quickly remembered Aunt Neile was around, so she just said they came from abroad.


    Luke nodded.


    "If I''m going to use these needles, there has to be a detailed sterilization process. Also, the needles need to be slightly heated to a certain temperature for the best results. The whole house is being cooled by air conditioning, so it can only be done in the yard," continued


    "The yard is too hot." Luke frowned.


    "It''s hard to keep the needles at body temperature indoors." Luca frowned as well. She felt there was no need to raise the air conditioning indoors since it was already over 37 degrees Fahrenheit outside, which was the most suitable for her needs.


    Luke fell silent. He had not heard of this type of treatment before.


    However, he trusted that Luca knew what she was doing. She was not just messing around.


    "Alright, I''ll go set up a sunshade for you," said Luke. It was midday, and the sun was scorching outside. Even the gazebo was too hot, so a sunshade would be the best way to shield her from the heat.


    Luca nodded. "Set it up under the tree."


    "Got it," replied Luke as he headed out.


    Luca followed him.


    Luke found the sunshade in the tool shed outside. When he saw that Luca had followed him out, he frowned and said, "You don''t need toe with me. Go back inside. It''s too hot out here."


    "I''ll need toe outter anyway, so I might as well feel the temperature now," replied Luca. "You..." Luke was at a loss with her.


    Luca grinned and picked up the sunshade parts. "It''ll go faster if we work together. Come on!"


    Reluctantly, Luke led her to the front yard.


    They chose a spot under a tree to set up the sunshade and secured the base.


    Luca then ced a small stool in the sunny spot and said, "Once it heats up enough here, I''ll put the sterilized needles on it to warm them up quickly."


    "Alright, let''s head inside," replied Luke.


    "Okay." The two walked briskly back into the house.


    Aunt Neile watched as the two, who had just returned, went out to the garden and then back


    to the living room. She could not help but ask, "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, what are you doing outside in this zing sun?*


    She nced outside and felt the heat just from looking at the sun.


    "We went to set up a sunshade. Aunt Neile, is there any more of that smoothie to cool off with?" asked Luca.


    "Sure, would you like some more?" asked Aunt Neile as she was ready to serve.


    "No, it''s not for me. Mr. Gale and Mr. Norton will being overter, and I figured we should have some drinks ready for our guests. The smoothie will be fine," exined Luca.


    As Luke listened to her, he said, "Don''t be too nice to them."


    "Luke." Luca felt helpless. They were both his friends, after all.


    Even though Gale was seen as his subordinate, she knew their rtionship was much more


    than just boss and employee. They were good friends.


    Luke was very particr about boundaries.


    If Gale were just a simple subordinate, he would not invite him to parties or drinks.


    Luke smiled at her and added, "Just don''t overdo it. Don''t put too much pressure on yourself."


    "Don''t worry. You aren''t doubting my skills, are you?" Luca knew he was referring to the dry needling treatment for Gordan. "Ill sterilize the tools now."
