Luca looked at Tina thankfully and said, “Thank you."
“Don't mention it. Take a look at these. Is there anything you need?" Tina shook her head. She had yet to know Luca's true
identity, and she just thought it was tough for Luca to take care of Luke.
After all, Tina knew how unpredictable Luke could be and how hard it was to serve him.
“Alright. Let me see." Luca was still planning to ask the maid to come over after the kids came back from school. Then, she could
go back and pack some stuff. After all, she had to watch over Luke. She might have to stay here for a few days.
There was no way she could stay here without bringing any clothes with her.
Tina followed behind her and explained, "Mr. Doyle and I went to the mansion to take these. I didn't know what you needed, so I
grabbed some warm clothes, the skincare products on your dressing table, and some toiletries. As for Mr. Crawford's things, I
didn't dare to go into his bedroom. I didn't manage to get anything for him."
Luca checked the things, and there was nothing she lacked. Tina had prepared everything well.
“These will be enough. Thank you," said Luca. She thanked Tina from the bottom of her heart.
Tina knew Luca was staying together with Luke. She was not curious about it, and neither did she gossip about it. Instead, she
helped Luca keep it a secret.
Hence, even though Tina had found out about it, Luca was assured that the news would not spread in the office.
“No problem. Let me report my work first," replied Tina.
"Sure." Luca nodded as she watched Tina walk toward Jason and stand beside him. She joined him to report on their work. Luca
took the initiative to walk out of the ward to avert any suspicion. She headed to the corridor.
Johann had arranged for Luke's ward to be at the end of the corridor. With this arrangement, his privacy was well protected.
Luca could understand Johann's good intentions.
There was a door at the end of the corridor. The door led to a garden. However, the door to the garden was closed to prevent
patients from doing things that could harm themselves.
Luca could see the scenery of the garden through the windows.
It was an outdoor garden. The leaves had already fallen off the plants, leaving the bare branches on them.
Luca let out a sigh. Frost had begun to cover the windows.
It would be snowing soon.
Luca recalled that three years ago when her family was still living a peaceful life, Luke would bring the kids to the yard to have a
snowball fight on the first snowfall of the year.
Luke and the kids would wear warm clothes, so they were not afraid of the cold. They would throw snowballs at each other
happily.
Rainie had little strength, so she could never win against her elder brother. Tommy was still little back then and was always
defeated by his elder brother and sister. Luke would help Rainie to make snowballs and carry Tommy on his shoulders so that he
could throw the snowballs from a higher position.
Meanwhile, she would prepare warm tea and refreshments for them in the kitchen. Sometimes, she would look at them playing in
the yard through the windows. She would always be amused by their laughter.
She had such a warm family at that time.
Even though it was snowing outside, their hearts were warm and they could withstand the cold winter.
Luca wrapped her arms around herself and stood at the end of the corridor while looking outside the windows. The scenery
outside was not beautiful, but it reminded her of the past.
It would be snowing soon, and the kids would be having their winter break...
"Luca?" A voice interrupted Luca's thoughts. She turned around and realized that it was Nina calling out her name.
"Nina, why are you here?" Luca remembered that Nina was probably here because of Jean's matter.
Nina smiled at her bitterly and explained, "I'm cleaning up Jean's mess."
Nina had been exhausted in the past few days. Tyrone's condition was very unstable, and he had stayed in the ICU for another
two days. The doctor only approved Tyrone to be transferred to the general ward today.
Nina felt guilty about it. She requested Johann to get Tyrone a VIP ward so that he could get better resources for recuperation.
That was why she followed Tyrone here.
Nina did not expect to run into Luca.
Luca listened to Nina's explanation and understood how helpless Nina felt. Nina even refused to address Jean as her elder
brother now. It seemed like the matter was quite difficult and troublesome this time.
"How's the man who got beaten up by Jean?" Luca had asked Percy about the matter while she was waiting for Luke to get his
leg cast. That was why she knew about it.
"His life is no longer in danger. And he has regained consciousness. That's why I asked Dr. Park to get him a VIP ward for him to
continue receiving medical treatment," answered Nina. It was Jean's fault, after all. Hence, spending a little more money was
necessary to calm the Hugh family's anger.
Luca nodded. "Tell me if you need anything. I'll help with whatever I can."
"There's actually something you can help me with." Nina took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth. The chances of Jean
being thrown into prison would be lowered if Luca could help.
"Tell me." Luca noticed the anxiety in Nina's eyes. She promised to help her without a second thought.
"The doctor told me that the surgery might have caused some damage to Tyrone's nerves, but he doesn't know the extent of the
damage for now. Tyrone might need to receive physiotherapy, including acupuncture treatment. I've heard Dr. Park mention that
you studied a lot about acupuncture treatment in the past, and your skills are better than those of other doctors. That's why I'd
like to ask you for a favor. Can you help me if Tyrone really does need..." Nina knew it was abrupt of her to ask for Luca's help all
of a sudden, but she had no other way.
“Of course." Luca agreed to help her without hesitation.
Nina let out a sigh of relief. The chances of Tyrone completely recovering would be higher with Luca helping her.
"Thank you." Nina's eyes reddened. Before this, Nina was always wondering if she should ask for Luca's help. However, she
knew Luca was quite busy with her work. The uneasiness in Nina's heart was relieved the moment Luca agreed to help her.
"Alright. Let's not talk about this anymore." Luca lifted her hand, pondered for a moment, and stroked Nina's head.
A familiar feeling aroused in Nina's heart. She had always felt familiar with Luca. She was even surer of her feelings when Luca
stroked her head.
"Oh, how's Luke?" Nina had received news that Luke got into an accident from Percy.
Luca replied, "Everything is in control. He should be fine."
"That's great." Nina let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, someone walked out of the ward. It was Keith. He looked at Nina with slightly narrowed eyes and said, "I thought you
escaped."
"I told you before. I'll take responsibility and won't run away." Nina turned around and gave him a stern look.
"You said that when you didn't know how serious my brother's condition was at that time. Who knows if you'll run away? It'll be a
big problem if my brother doesn't recover!" Keith was the most educated one among the three brothers. That was why he could
understand the doctor's words very well.
