He called out her name the entire drive here.
Luca's face turned red upon hearing that.
Luke was wide awake, but he used the drug as an excuse to hug Luca like a raccoon and bury his face in her neck. Then, he
repeated softly, "Luca..."
Luca was not wearing a scarf, so she could feel his hot breath as he exhaled directly on her neck.
Luke had placed his entire weight on her body.
Luca could not hold him up much longer, so she looked at Gale and said, "Carry Mr. Crawford inside."
Gale nodded, and when he was about to pull Luke away from clinging to Luca, he heard his objection.
"Just support me."
"Boss.." Gale was speechless. Did he fake his loss of self-control just now?
Doing this in an open-air garden in the middle of winter was not a good idea.
The drug may have raised his body temperature, but he and Luca were freezing right now.
"Prop me up." Luke said with his eyes closed. The kids were in the living room, so he did not want to embarrass himself by
letting Gale carry him.
"Okay." Gale nodded and looked toward Luca as he needed extra help to support him.
Luca nodded after receiving a look from Gale and was ready to help him, but Luke stopped her.
"Just let Gale do it," he said.
She had a light fragrance that was usually faintly discernible. Only when he went up close would he be able to smell her
addictive fragrance.
However, after being stimulated by the drug, his sense of smell had been amplified by a hundred times. If she came close, her
charming scent would repeatedly attack his sensory nerves.
Luke felt like he would not be able to hold it in if she came any closer.
Luca was stunned, and she just nodded.
Gale had no choice but to strenuously support Luke. It was a good thing he was consistently working out, so he was able to
persevere despite it being hard.
Luca followed behind them to help support Luke, just in case Gale could no longer hold him up.
Besides, Luke was in a state where every muscle of his body was weak.
The three of them walked into the living room while the three children stood by the couch and looked at them in unison.
“Daddy, are you okay?" Rainie looked at Luke worriedly as she felt like something was off.
Luke did not say a word.
Gale explained, "Boss is drunk because he had too much to drink."
Tommy wondered, "Is Daddy that bad at drinking? And didn't he go to Grandma's house for dinner?
Why did he drink?"
Gale sighed internally as they undoubtedly shared the same genes as Luke. Although they were kids, they were not easy to fool.
Luca went forward and explained, "It's common for adults to drink among ourselves during the New Year."
After finishing, she looked toward Gale. "Mr. Gale, please send Mr. Crawford upstairs."
"Alright." Gale nodded and helped Luke upstairs.
Although Luke's mind and body were being controlled by the drug, he still gripped the handrail tightly as he took the first step of
the stairs.
Luca was relieved to see that he was still somewhat conscious.
Otherwise, Gale would have to carry him up.
The three children looked at Luke worriedly.
"Is Daddy going to be okay?" Tommy said out of concern.
"Ms. Luca is here, so he'll be fine..." Rainie replied. In her eyes, Luca's medical skills were miraculous, so anything was possible.
Luca turned to look at them after hearing their words and said, "I'll go up to take a look. You all be good and stay in the living
room."
"Ms. Luca, don't worry. I'll look after my younger siblings." Lanie, who had not said a word since just now, suddenly spoke.
Luca nodded. He was the most mature and understanding of the three children.
She walked upstairs quickly.
Gale had already placed Luke on the bed in her bedroom.
"Dr. Craw, look at him. Boss seems to be suffering. Why don't you help him?" He dared not be overly straightforward as he did
not want to embarrass her.
"I'll figure it out. By the way, was he drugged by someone there?" Although Luca already knew the answer, she still wanted to
make sure so as not to wrongfully accuse the innocent.
Gale nodded and glanced at Luke, who was tossing and turning restlessly in bed.
If Luca would not help him, he might have to give him an ice bath.
Taking an ice-cold bath in the middle of winter was going to be the death of him.
"How could his mother drug him? Not to mention with this kind of drug." Luca could hardly believe it.
“There was also another woman. She probably did it to help the woman, but I'm not sure who she is. Dr. Craw, I think it's better
for you to ask the boss yourself." Gale dared not guess the woman's identity. "Boss expected that something bad would happen,
which was why he asked me to drive him there. He also asked me to take the kids home for Rain to take care of them for the
night and bring them back tomorrow as he doesn't want to leave a bad impression on the children."
When the drug kicked in, it would indeed leave a bad impression on the children...
Luca did not know if she had a way of eliminating the effects of the drug. The last resort would be to become his woman once
again.
If the children were there, it would affect them badly.
"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Luca nodded.
"Then, I'll go downstairs to tell the kids that Boss is having a hard time and that you'll have to help him because he refuses to go
to the hospital. You can keep an eye on him."
He was going to take the children away.
Luke knew that Gale was leaving and could no longer restrain himself, so he reached to undo his clothes.
Luca bit the bullet and walked in as she closed the door behind her.
"Mr. Crawford, I'll go and fill the tub for you. You'll feel better after a bath," she said as she walked toward the bathroom.
Luca was not opposed to becoming Luke's woman as she was once his woman anyway.
It was just that the more memories they had, the harder it would be for her to leave at the end.
"Luca, are you trying to kill me?" Luke had already undone his shirt, revealing his well-defined chest.
"Mr. Crawford.." Luca walked to the bedside, and before she could sit down, his hand pulled her toward him.
"Ah!" She cried out as she fell directly on top of Luke.
There was a powerful impact on Luke's chest, and he muffled a grunt before begging her, "Help me, Luca. Help me."
"Mr. Crawford, we can't." Luca looked at the dark look in his eyes and wailed internally. Was she going to go so far?
If it happened once, it could happen again.
"I beg you, I'm suffering. Just like the old times. That's all I need.." Luke held her tightly.
"I.." Luca took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She had long said yes in her heart, but her mind was still racing. When she
heard a muffled grunt, she opened her eyes with trembling eyelashes. "Okay.."
