Luca felt that her palm was empty after he did that. She realized that she might have been holding Luke's hand the entire time
she was asleep.
Therefore, she was unused to it when Luke pulled out his hand.
"Okay." She clenched her fists and smiled at the man.
The weak smile made Luke feel a little pity for her. "Wait for me."
Luca made a hum and closed her eyes. Her nose was blocked, so she could only breathe through her mouth.
Luke went downstairs, headed for the kitchen, and scooped Luca a bowl of oats.
Aunt Neile set the temperature so that the oats were perfectly warm.
Luke remembered that Luca would have to take her medicine later, so he put the oats on the tray, took a glass of water, put it on
the tray, and walked upstairs with the tray.
When he opened the door, Luca had already sat up on the bed.
Luke put the tray on the bedside table.
"Why did you sit up?" He picked up the oats and gently stirred them with a spoon.
"I've been lying down all day and am a little tired. It's already so late." Luca glanced at the time on the phone. It was already past
ten o'clock. No wonder it was dark.
"Come, have some oats." Luke held the spoon up to feed her.
Luca opened her mouth, drank the oats that he served her, and asked, "Are they all asleep, Lanie and the others?"
"They're all asleep. They were angels today. They didn't make a fuss," Luke said as he continued to feed her.
Luca did not resist him feeding her.
"They were all worried about you, but since you didn't let them in the bedroom, they waited for news on the second floor," Luke
said. The children thought that they could visit Luca when Luke was back.
However, he respected Luca's decision and did not let them in.
They no longer had a 24-hour nanny at home. If any of the kids caught a cold, he would not be able to handle them alone.
"I'm worried that I'll infect them," Luca explained.
"Mm, they know that you're doing it for their own good," Luke said. The kids realized they could not take care of Luca, so they did
not bother the adults.
Even Tommy, the noisiest one who liked to run up and down the stairs, was quiet and obedient that day.
"When you're feeling better, I'll get an elevator company to come and install an elevator," Luke said.
Luca responded in surprise, "Why do you want to install an elevator all of a sudden?"
There was space to install an elevator in the villa, but Luke never made use of it.
Luca felt that they were fine without an elevator. After all, their place was not like Crawford Manor. There were no elderly people
in the house. It was only young people and children, so it was quite convenient for them to go up and down the stairs.
"Aunt Neile told me that you almost couldn't stand today and you didn't allow her to inform me. It'll be more convenient to have
an elevator to go upstairs," Luke said. His gaze sank.
He was a little angry when he heard that Luca would not let Aunt Neile inform him, but he could not bring himself to be angry at
her when he saw how weak she appeared.
She was so sick that all he could feel was distress.
Luca drank the last sip of the oats and explained, embarrassed, "I thought I would be fine after taking the medicine, so I asked
Aunt Neile not to inform you. I know that you're busy..."
Luke grabbed a tissue and wiped her mouth. He was busy, but Luca was more important to him than work.
"I'll be there when you need me, so don't push me away," he said slowly, hoping that every word could be engraved in her heart.
They were husband and wife. They had always supported each other. He would never think of her as a drag.
"I know..." Luca was shocked, but her head was buzzing.
She was not sure what to say when faced with his deep-felt confession, so she just uttered a simple reply to acknowledge him...
Luke did not expect her to say or do anything earth-shattering. All he wanted was for her not to push him away. He asked, "Do
you still want to eat?"
"No." Luca shook her head. She did not have any appetite. She just ate to keep her stomach from being empty.
"Mm, rest for a little and take your medicine later." Luke thought of Johann's reminder when he was about to leave.
Johann told him that after Luca woke up and if she ate something, she should take a break before taking her medicine.
If she did not want to eat, he should feed her some light salt water and then her medicine.
He remembered it all.
"Where's the medicine?" Luca asked. She had a hunch that she would sleep all night after she took the medicine.
"In front of your dresser. However, Johann said that you have to take a break before you eat it." Luke put the cup from the tray on
the bedside table, then put her bowl on the tray. He then put it by the door and turned back to look at Luca.
"Okay. How's Ms. Norman doing?" Luca realized that if Johann had been treating her, she assumed that there was another
doctor by Leia's side.
She was unsure if Jack and the others were aware of it. If they were, they might be dissatisfied with her.
Luca prayed in her heart that Johann would not be a big mouth and tell Jack and Queenie about what happened to her.
"You're also weak. Why do you bother with her?" Luke was worried and put his palm on her forehead.
The temperature was normal. Fortunately, there was no fever.
"I'm just asking... After all, Dr. Park was here. If something had happened to Ms. Norman..." Luca explained.
"Bad people have plagued the world for thousands of years. Leia will be fine," Luke said.
Based on what Johann told him, Leia getting surgery done in her current poor condition would lead to higher complications
compared to other patients.
However, her condition seemed to improve when she stayed in the ICU for one night. It was like magic. Some of the symptoms
they expected to see after the surgery appeared in Leia, which proved that her organs were working well.
If there was no accident, she could be discharged after staying in the hospital for a while more.
Luca pursed her lips slightly. Luke did not usually say such things.
Nevertheless, she thought that he was cute when he said such things.
She lifted the blanket so she could get out of bed.
"What are you doing?" Luke asked.
"I want to take a shower. I sweated a fair bit. My body feels sticky and uncomfortable..." Luca explained.
"Don't take too long." Luke knew that she was a clean person. If she was made to sleep for a night without bathing, it would
probably be a sleepless night for her.
When she had a fever, they covered her with a thick blanket so that she could sweat it out. As such, she must have sweated a
lot.
"Yeah." Luca opened the closet, took the pajamas and a change of underwear, then walked into the bathroom.
She was worried that her body could not take it, so she took a quick shower. After she dried her body with a bath towel, she
changed into a fresh set of pajamas and glanced in the mirror.
Her hair was messy. She looked like a mad woman...
