Chapter 1231 Recurrent Fever

On the other end, Luke received a text from his subordinates on his way back from Norman

Residence.

While he was waiting for the traffic light, he clicked on the text and saw that Luca was in the photo.

The photo was taken on that same day. She was dressed exactly the same as early that night.

Luke called Zander and asked, "Did you send Luca back?"

"Mr. Crawford, I sent Ms. Luca back but she got off at an intersection in front of her apartment. She

told me that she wanted to get something and asked for me not to wait for her.” Zander did not

dare to miss any details and told Luke everything that he remembered

Luke responded, "I see."

After that, he cut off the call.

He glanced at the photo again. “Luca lied when she told Zander she wanted to buy something. The

truth is that she was going to the Westin Hotel. What was she doing there?"

Luke thought back to the time when Luca told him that he would not be able to find anything when

he wanted to dig into the matter.

“How did she know that I wouldn't be able to find anything? Luca seems to be hiding a lot of

secrets.’

Luke's phone rang and he pressed to answer. The maid said anxiously, "Young Master Luke, Madam

is having a high fever again and it reached 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The doctor asked you to come

to the hospital immediately.”

“I'm on my way."

Luke hung up. When the red light turned to green, he made a U-turn and drove to the hospital.

After he arrived at the ward, it just so happened that Dr. Blake, the head physician of the internal

medicine department, was checking on Bianca. When Dr. Blake saw the number on the

thermometer, he frowned and said, "Didn't her temperature go down when I left?"

"Yes, Dr. Blake, but the patient's temperature went up again,” the nurse said helplessly as she looked

at Bianca who was a little groggy from the high fever. She was unsure of why Bianca's condition was

fluctuating.

"Give her the fever-reducing injection and prepare a bottle of saline. Her recurrent high fever will

make her dehydrated. She needs to start fasting. We'll run a blood test tomorrow morning." Dr.

Blake made the arrangements for Bianca's treatment.

"Okay." The nurse nodded and said to the maid, "The patient needs to fast. If she’s thirsty, you can

moisten her lips with a cotton swab."

"Okay." The maid took notes. She was dumbfounded at Bianca's condition after taking care of her in

the hospital for the entire day.

“What's wrong with her..."

Luke walked into the ward and asked, "Why is my wife suffering from recurrent fever?"

Dr. Blake recognized Luke and respectfully said, "Mr. Crawford, we don't know much at the moment

but we'll find out more after the blood test report is out tomorrow.”

Bianca, who lay weakly on the hospital bed, heard his voice and wanted to open her eyes to look at

him. Unfortunately, the fever was draining her energy and there was nothing she could do.

Luke looked at how uncomfortable she looked and pursed his thin lips.

"Mr. Crawford, don't worry. We'll do our best to cure Mrs. Crawford,” Dr. Blake said. He was

confident that he could heal her.

"Then what are you still doing here?" Luke asked indifferently.

What he needed was not someone who made empty promises but someone who could get things

done.

Dr. Blake was stunned. He did not expect Luke to react as such. However, he could not afford to

offend him, so he nodded and immediately walked out of the ward to update his treatment plan.

After a while, the nurse walked in with the saline and swiftly set up the drip for Bianca.

The maid looked at Luke who was standing in the center of the ward and said, "Young Master Luke,

you should sit and rest for a while. Madam will be fine. I believe that her fever will go away soon

enough.”

"She's been in this condition since the afternoon?" Luke asked. In the afternoon, Bianca also had a

high fever but he could not get out of the meeting he was having then. After the meeting was over,

the maid told him that she was doing better after the doctors treated her.

"Yes." The maid nodded. "Her fever would suddenly spike up. Things would be normal for the first

half an hour but the fever would come out of nowhere. However, as soon as she's injected with the

meds, her body temperature would lower."

Luke stared at Bianca. Her condition was worse than the night before.

After she adjusted the speed of the drip, the nurse said, "The drip can't go any faster. With this

speed, it should take two hours for the saline to finish. Those taking care of the patient can take a

short break."

The maid thanked her. "Okay, I see. Thank you."

After the nurse left, Luke looked at the large bottle of saline and kept silent.

Although Bianca had her eyes closed, she was conscious. She wanted to act coquettish in front of

Luke to gain his sympathy, but at that moment, she could only lay on the bed. She felt as though

her body was not her own.

The maid glanced at the time and noted that it was late. She looked at Bianca and thought that her

condition seemed to be improving, so she suggested, "Young Master Luke, why don't you go back

and rest first? I'll keep watch of Madam.”

Luke raised his wrist and glanced at the time. It was almost midnight.

He thought about it and replied, "Stay and take care of her for another night. I'll have someone else

come and replace you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Young Master Luke.” The maid thanked him happily. She felt more tired taking

care of Bianca compared to having to clean Crawford Manor. She was very happy to find out that

she would not need to stay in the hospital tomorrow.

Bianca, who was on the bed, felt unsettled when she heard that Luke was leaving. She tried to open

her eyes but her efforts were in vain.

The medicine had taken complete control of her body..

Luke noticed that Bianca's eyelids were moving. He stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Bea,

I'll be heading home. Have a good rest and you'll be fine when you wake up.”

After he said that, he turned around and left.

Bianca listened to the sound of him leaving. She was anxious and angry. “He won't stay even if my

fever is 105 degrees! What do I need to do to get him to pay more attention to me?”

The next day at Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

As soon as Luca got to work, Mo told her to go to a meeting.

She picked up her tablet and walked to the meeting room only to find that the person who was

presiding over the meeting was not Dr. Cole but Luke.

Luca lowered her gaze, walked silently to her seat, and sat down.

Luke kept looking at her with a cold expression. He waited until she sat down before he shifted his

gaze.

After waiting for another five minutes, everyone in the Technical Department arrived.

Dr. Cole took the lead to talk about the agenda of the meeting. Luca understood that the company

was offering two spots for a one-week off-site training in New York that was set to happen next

month.

The meeting was to discuss the allocation of the two spots.

Luca looked down and listened. She could not help wondering why Luke would preside over the

meeting in person for such small matters.
