Luke nodded to the doctor, indicating his agreement. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The doctor returned to his office and prescribed medication for Luca. Ten minutes later, a nurse walked in with the medicine. After watching Luca take it, she advised, "You should rest now. If you feel uncomfortable, just press the call button." "Okay, thank you." Luca closed her eyes. Luke gently pulled the blanket 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 replacing 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, comforting 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 one last time before falling into a deep sleep. ... When Luca woke up the next morning, Luke had already gotten out of bed. 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. Luca lay 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 down. She let out a sigh of frustration. Just then, Luke came out of the bathroom. When he heard her sighing, he rushed over. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" "Yes and no." Luca glanced at him, envious of how refreshed he looked after washing up. She wanted to take a shower too... "What's wrong?" Luke leaned in closer, playfully pinching her nose. "Why the long face?" "I can turn over without feeling dizzy now," replied Luca. "Isn't that a good thing?" Luke's eyes lit up with happiness. "But I still get dizzy when I sit up. I've been lying here so long that my whole body feels numb. I really want to get up and take a shower." Luca frowned, growing more resentful toward Karen. If it were not for her, she would not be stuck in this bed! Luke gently reassured her, "Hang in there. Just one more day. You need to take things slow." Luca let out a sigh. Then, Johann's voice came from outside the door. "Well, well, who knew the great Luke could be so gentle? That's a rare sight." Luke shot a cold glare at the grinning man who walked in and said, "Get out!" Johann rubbed his nose and said, "Hey, I'm just here to check on my patient. No need to be so hostile." Luke stepped aside to give him space. With a cheeky grin, Johann moved closer and began examining Luca. After a thorough check-up, he nodded. "Looks like everything's fine. You had a fever last night, didn't you?" "Yes," responded Luca. "Did your fever come back after taking the medicine?" asked Johann. "No, I fell asleep after that. I didn't feel unwell. I actually feel much better today. I don't get dizzy when I turn over, but sitting up still makes me a little lightheaded." Luca shook her head. "That's good. Someone will come to take you for a detailed examination and a CT scan in about half an hour. If everything looks good, you might be able to go home tomorrow," said Johann. After finishing the check-up, he gave Luke a playful wink before leaving the ward. Luke closed the door behind him. "Want to freshen up a bit?" asked Luke. "Sure." Luca nodded. Luke brought over a basin of water and helped Luca brush her teeth, rinse her mouth, and wash her face. After she freshened up, Aunt Neile arrived with breakfast. Luca, concerned about the three kids at home, asked her about them. Aunt Neile cheerfully assured her, "The three kids are very well-behaved, don't worry." Only then did Luca feel relieved. Aunt Neile had to return home to take care of chores, so the task of feeding Luca breakfast fell to Luke. After feeding her, it was time for her medication. A short while later, a nurse came in with an IV to administer her injection. After getting the injection, Luca turned to Luke. "I'm feeling much better today. Why don't you hire a caretaker to help me out and you can go back to work?" Luke shook his head. "I'll stay here with you." "You've got a lot of work to do at the company. How about this? Let's hire a caretaker and let her handle the care. You can work from here." Luca was doing it for Luke's sake. She did not want him to keep running back and forth because of her. If he hired a caretaker, she could help take care of things. "Alright, I'll make arrangements now," replied Luke as he walked out of the room. After a while, he returned with a kind and gentle-looking caretaker. "Is she okay?" Luke asked for her opinion. "Yes, she looks great," replied Luca. She turned to look at the caretaker, smiled at her, and said, "I still can't leave the bed, so I'll have to rely on you for some things." "It's no trouble at all, Ms. Craw," the caretaker quickly responded, waving her hand. "Just let me know if there's anything you need." Luke added, "The traffic police will be coming by later to take your statement. Are you feeling up to it?" "No problem," replied Luca. She wanted to give her statement while the details of the accident were still fresh in her mind. "Alright, I'll let them know," said Luke. Since the police had his number, they called earlier to ask about Luca's condition and whether she was fit to give a statement. After Luke contacted them, the officers arrived in less than an hour. They showed their IDs and began taking her statement. Luca tried her best to recall the details of the car accident. She remembered that she was driving slowly because of the traffic, maintaining a safe distance from the car in front of her. Then, out of nowhere, Karen rear-ended her at high speed. Fortunately, her dashcam recorded everything. Thus, the police did not need to ask for too many specifics. After giving her statement, Luca signed her name. The officers thanked her for her cooperation and left. Search the FindNovel.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
