Johann looked at Luca, who was lying on the bed. Indeed, she could not do it herself.
However, the medicine placed here was not for the patient to dress her wound herself. It was for the nurse to dress her wound
when she came in for a ward round later.
To avoid Luke from carelessly dressing Luca's wound and leaving a scar on her, Johann cleared his throat and reminded the
man who loved his wife excessively. "The medicine is placed here so that the professional nurses who come in later can dress
her wound for her.”
Luke stopped opening the medicine bottle at once. He stared at Johann with a trace of blame. “You should've told me earlier.”
"Did I really need to say it aloud? The nurse didn't ask you to dress her wound for her when she placed the medicine here
yesterday." Johann gave him an innocent look.
Although Luke wanted to help Luca, he was not a professional. It would be bad if he hurt Luca and left a scar on her.
Hence, Luke could not be bothered about his image and chose to put the medicine back.
Johann then asked in a gossipy manner, “What's wrong with Nina today?”
"It's because of Percy,” Luke replied, "Last night, Old Master Mallory released the news that Percy and the daughter of the
Johnston family are getting married.”
"Oh, so that's it. I thought..." Johann shot a glance at his friend and turned to look at Luca. Then, he said in a shifty manner,
"Even Percy is getting married soon. Is it appropriate to let your wife wander out there?"
Luke gave him a dirty look. Why did he have to mention this? “Don't you have anything better to do?”
“No, no. I've got things to do. Am I not doing a ward round now? Dr. Craw, since you're not feeling unwell, I'm off to continue my
ward round.” Johann only wanted to fool around for a while. He did not want to get on Luke's nerves.
He slipped away and left the ward immediately.
Luca fell into deep thought as she watched Johann leaving the ward.
She knew that her imposter was already dead. However, she did not expect Luke to conceal it from Johann and the others.
How much longer was he going to hide it.
Luke looked at Luca, who seemed to be deep in thought. He assumed that Johann's words must have made her ponder.
"Are you hungry?" He broke the silence.
Luca shook her head and typed on the phone: [I'm not hungry yet.]
"You'll have to eat something even if you're not feeling hungry. I've asked someone to deliver your breakfast here. It's oatmeal
again, but it's not as creamy as yesterday. It'll taste better than the ones sold in the hospital's canteen," said Luke.
Luca could feel his attentiveness for her. It would be nice if she was Bianca now.
[Thank you.] She did not know what to say, so all she could do was to type that on her phone.
After all, Luke was kind to her now simply because she was hurt and he had something to do with it.
Luke's face darkened when he looked at her polite yet distant words of appreciation. He did not say anything more.
The wooden door was pushed open again. The nurse carried some tools that were used to dress the wound into the ward. "Ms.
Craw, it's time to change your dressing."
Luke took the initiative to make way for her at the bedside.
The nurse placed the tray on the chair beside. Then, she picked up the scissors and cut the bandage on Luca's forehead. Her
wound was cleaned and bandaged in the emergency room before she was sent up here. Luke had yet to see how deep her
wound was. He only calmed down after Johann told him that the wound was not deep.
However, when he saw the nurse undo the bandage and the wound that had just begun to recover, his heart tangled inevitably.
The nurse was surprised to see the scab on her wound. "Huh, the wound is already scabbing? You must have a strong healing
ability. This is my first time seeing a wound healing so quickly."
Luca knew it was because of the antidote from the Island of Despair. As long as the wound did not worsen, she would heal much
quicker than ordinary people.
After all, that kind of medicine could control people, and it could heal people too.
The nurse picked up the povidone and asked her while she was dressing her wound, "Ms. Craw, is it because of your physique?"
Luca typed: [I'm not sure about that.] The povidone was to clean the wound. It felt cool yet it stung a little, but she could bear with
it.
"Then did your wounds heal faster back then too?" the nurse continued to ask.
Luca continued to type: [I never paid much attention to that.] She could feel that Luke's gaze had never moved away from her.
She was a little nervous.
Would he discover her abnormality?
They must have done some research on the imposter's blood when they caught her back then. If they had discovered that the
blood composition in the fake Bianca's body had healing abilities, would Luke become suspicious because of what the nurse is
saying now?
Luca was feeling guilty.
The ward door was pushed open once more, and Johann stuck his head out of the door. He had run into the police officers when
he was doing his ward round. He heard that they wanted to inform Luke of something, so he told them he knew where Luke was.
He specially came here to tell him. "Luke, the police officers are here. They're looking for you."
Luke turned around and glanced at him. When did Johann become a messenger?
Luca blinked her eyes in acknowledgment. The wound on her forehead was still being dressed.
After Luke left the ward, the nurse quickly applied the medicine on Luca's wound and wrapped the bandage nicely. She glanced
at the door. Luke had not returned.
She asked in a low voice, “Were you worried just now?"
Luca was alarmed when she heard the nurse lower her voice intentionally. She turned to look at the nurse.
"You were worried that Luke would link you to the Island of Despair, right?" the nurse curled the corners of her lips, smiled, and
said.
Luca did not answer her. She did not type on the phone to ask her anything either. It was because she already knew the nurse
was Abel's subordinate.
"Boss said your progress is too slow. I intentionally said those things to warn you that if you continue to be sloppy, Boss will
change his plan. He'll let Luke know that you're someone from the Island of Despair. What do you think will happen to you when
the time comes?" the nurse continued to talk.
Luca remained silent.
If Luke knew that she was from the Island of Despair and he did not know that she was Bianca, she knew what would happen to
her. There was no need to remind her about that.
She might end up suffering the same fate as her impostor. She would be forced to confess and die...
What Abel meant was, it was either she killed Luke herself or she would get killed by Luke.
There was no way she could have the best of both worlds.
The nurse packed her things slowly. "Don't try to find another way. There's no other way. Boss has sent lots of people to stay
close to you. They're good at hiding, and you won't be able to notice them. If you refuse to die like this and leave your precious
daughter alone on the Island of Despair, be good and listen to what he says. Speed up your progress. You know as well that
Boss has little patience."
