He switched positions with Eric, and his knife was on Luca's neck. "Come on, shoot me. I promise that this woman will die if we
die. It's not too bad having a woman with us on the road to hell. Mr. Crawford, what do you say?"
Luke's heart tightened when he saw Luca's pale face and how she was being held against her will by the knife on her neck.
She seemed uncomfortable and had some difficulty breathing.
When Eric saw the muzzles of the guns aimed at him, he threw caution to the wind. The most important thing now was to
escape. The woman in front of them was their only bargaining chip.
"Yeah, if you dare to shoot us, I'll stab this knife into her body.”
Luca heard their threats, and she winked at Luke. She could not speak, so she could only hint at him.
It was time to turn passive into active...
Derek said, "Now, get out of the way and get a car ready for us at the door..."
Luca twisted her bound hands while Derek was talking and hit the acupuncture points of the person behind her. Derek was
interrupted due to the pain. The knife moved from her neck down to her waist.
"Ah!" Derek cried out in pain, causing Eric to shudder. He subconsciously thrusted the knife into Luca's waist.
She expected Eric's action, so when she turned her hand to avoid the knife, a bullet passed by her with a bang and hit Eric's
neck.
Before Eric could stab the knife into Luca's body, he fell to the ground.
Luca heard another shot and Derek fell to the ground as well.
She was safe...
Luca turned around and looked at Derek and Eric, who were on the ground. Fortunately, Luke had called the police...
As her world was spinning, her body fell weakly to the ground.
Even when he saw that she was safe, Luke could not breathe a sigh of relief yet. He quickly ran forward and held her in his
arms. "It's alright, you're alright."
Luca wanted to laugh when she heard what he said. However, her face was in a lot of pain. She just leaned weakly on him.
He had always been a man of few words. He would mention the same thing twice only when he was extremely concerned.
'He cares about me? I'm so tired...I'll pass out soon...'
Luca slowly closed her eyes.
Luke felt distressed when he saw her swollen face. He whispered, "Go to sleep. I'll take you to the hospital."
The police came over and confirmed that the two kidnappers were still breathing. "Hurry up and send the two of them to the
hospital. We still need to ask them questions."
Luke hugged Luca and glanced coldly at the police officer who took the shot. "The next time you're about to shoot, think twice."
If the bullet had strayed just a little, it would have hit Luca's forehead.
The police officer had taken a great risk. He wiped the cold sweat from his hands and said, "Mm."
Luke walked out of the villa with Luca in his arms.
Jason heard the gunshots from a distance and knew that something had happened. When he saw Luke coming out while
carrying someone, he took a closer look. It seemed that he was carrying Luca.
He asked nervously, "Boss, is Dr. Craw okay?"
"She's okay. She wasn't the one who was shot. Open the door," Luke ordered Jason as he walked to the door. He was holding
Luca in both hands, so he could not open the door.
Jason quickly opened the door to the backseat.
Luke bent over. Even when he got into the car, he continued to hold onto Luca and did not want to let go.
Jason saw Luca's swollen face, and his heart was aching. Luca must have suffered a lot in the last few days.
She was unlucky.
It had not been long since Luca came to A City but she had been visiting the hospital frequently. It might be bad luck.
Jason did not dare to waste any time. He quickly got into the driver's seat and thought that Luke must have made prior
arrangements with the hospital. It was a smart choice to send Luca to the hospital now.
When they were about to drive off, a policeman came over and said, "Mr. Crawford, are you taking Ms. Craw to the hospital?"
"Yes." Luke did not look at the policeman outside the car window. He kept his eyes on Luca.
"Our colleagues will clear the way for you," the officer said. Although Luca was not seriously injured, they might encounter traffic
jams on the way. It was great that the police were assisting.
"Okay." Luke did not refuse.
Jason was in charge of driving, while the policemen were in charge of clearing the way. They stomped on the accelerator all the
way to the hospital.
Luke looked at Luca, and her swollen face hid her beauty.
When he watched the video earlier, his heart had clenched so tightly. Now that he was face to face with her, he felt even more
distressed.
"Um..." Luca let out a painful grunt despite being knocked out as the painkiller's effects had worn off. The pain was slowly coming
back. She could feel the pain despite being knocked out.
"We'll be at the hospital soon. You can do this." Luke coaxed her. His tone was soft like he was coaxing a child.
Jason, who was in the driver's seat, was slightly surprised when he saw this scene. This was the first time he had seen the boss
act like this.
He was showing such a tender side to Luca. It seemed that he was interested in her.
‘He's interested in Luca, but what if the real Bianca comes back?'
The car sped all the way and soon reached the hospital.
Johann came in person to meet them. He looked at Luca, who was on the bed. He shook his head and said, "I'm going to give
her a detailed examination to see if there are any internal injuries other than the surface wounds."
"Make sure you're thorough," Luke said.
"Trust me. By the way, she was slapped, right? How many times was she slapped, or for how many minutes?" Johann asked.
"I don't know how many slaps but it went on for more than a minute," Luke said. He did not rule out that Pierre might have edited
the video before the video was sent to him.
"Okay, leave it to me. Please go through the formalities with Dr. Craw's ID." Johann pushed the bed and escorted Luca to the
examination room with the nurse.
Luke looked at Jason and said, "Go and register her now."
"Got it." Jason nodded and hurriedly called Tina.
They did not have Luca's identification details on hand, so he had to ask Tina for help.
After receiving Jason's call, Tina quickly retrieved Luca's information from the personnel file and took it to the hospital.
After she met Jason, she asked, "Mr. Doyle, how is Dr. Craw now?"
"The doctor is checking on her. Where are the documents? I'm going to help her register in the hospital." Jason asked Tina for
the documents.
Tina handed him the documents. She sighed as she said, "Dr. Craw is so unlucky. She hasn't been here for long but has been
admitted to the hospital time and again. People might think that the hospital is her home."
