Chapter 1412 He Felt A Sense Of Warmth From The Touch Of Their Fingers

Luca watched him lying there. Although he was suffering from gastric, he still maintained a calm

expression. It was not obvious that he was in pain.

She suddenly stood up and asked him, "Mr. Crawford, is there milk in the pantry?"

"I don't know," Luke said. He did not touch any drinks except for coffee.

Luca remembered that Tina was responsible for replenishing the drinks in the pantry. Although Luke

did not drink them, many guests came to visit. They might not all drink coffee, so there were always

a variety of drinks prepared for the guests.

She said, "I'll go check it out.”

Luke did not make a sound. Luca walked out of the office and toward the pantry.

When she walked into the pantry, she happened to bump into Tina, who was putting milk in the

refrigerator. She asked, "Hello, is this milk?"

Tina turned her head to look at her, nodded, and handed her the milk in her hand. "Would you like

some?"

"Yes, thank you." Luca took the milk and looked for a cup for Luke from the sterilizer.

Seeing this, Tina asked, "Are you a guest?"

She did not recall meeting Luca.

Luca shook her head and pointed her finger down. "I'm a new employee. Um, do you have a new

cup?”

Cups used by guests would always be sterilized but Luke was obsessed with cleanliness. He would

not use the cups that others had used before even if they were sterilized. Hence, she was looking for

new cups

Tina felt weird when she heard her reply. After all, their floor was where Luke's assistants and

secretary work but she was not aware of any new colleagues joining the secretary department. She

would be aware if there were new executives in the company and also knew that ordinary

employees would not foolishly appear on this floor.

She was confused but pointed to the cup on the top shelf, saying, "These are all new.”

"Thank you,” Luca nodded and thanked her. She then took one of the cups, poured the milk in, and

heated it in the microwave.

Tina put the drinks in the refrigerator while talking to her, "Are you new here? Which department

are you in?"

"I'm not an employee of T Corporation. To be precise, I transferred here from Watson

Biopharmaceuticals.” Luca always had a good impression of Tina so she was willing to share a little

more.

Tina immediately understood her and replied, "Ah! You're Dr. Craw!"

She had long heard that a group of researchers was transferred over from Watson

Biopharmaceuticals, including Dr. Craw, who was rumored to have improper relations with their

boss.

However, gossip was not the most important point. She was sure that the person in front of her was

Luca simply because she was beautiful.

Tina had heard of Luca's beauty a long time ago. No one could believe that she was engaged in

medical research.

"Mm, hello.” Luca smiled and greeted her. Tina was the secretary working closely with Luke, so Luca

was not surprised that she knew about her.

"Hello, hello.” Tina put the last drink in the refrigerator and then recorded the time in her notebook.

Drinks with a short shelf life needed to be replaced regularly. She was responsible for such tasks.

Luca secretly praised her for her attentiveness.

The microwave let out a ding and she took out the milk.

Tina spoke, "You like warm milk?"

"No, this is for Mr. Crawford." Luca feared that Tina might misunderstand after she spoke, so she

explained, "Mr. Crawford is suffering from gastric pain. Mr. Doyle knows that I have little medical

knowledge, so he asked me to take a look at Mr. Crawford. He didn’t have lunch, so I wanted to get

some milk—"

Tina made an action to indicate that she understood. She smiled and said, "Dr. Craw, don't be

nervous. I won't talk about these things for gossip. I'll head back to the office to attend to some

work."

"Mm." Luca left after her while holding a cup of milk.

She returned to the CEO's office and found Luke still lying there.

Luca walked over with the milk and said, "Mr. Crawford, have some milk first."

Luke opened his eyes and looked at her from the bottom up. He did not think she had a bad angle.

He discovered this when he was hospitalized in New York.

Luca was so exquisite as though she went through plastic surgery. She looked beautiful no matter

the angle one looked at her from.

Luca was a little embarrassed by his staring. She said, "Milk is good for your stomach. If you haven't

eaten, milk can fill your stomach.”

Luke sat up and took the cup of milk but had no intention of drinking it. He felt a sense of warmth

from the touch of their fingers.

Luca thought he was worried about the cup, so she explained, "I bumped into your secretary in the

pantry. She told me that this cup is new and no one else has used it."

"Is the milk warm?" Luke could feel the warmth of the milk through the cup.

"Mm, I warmed it up in the microwave. It's good for your stomach.” Luca nodded

Luke was holding the glass and sipped it slowly as if tasting a fine wine.

The temperature of the warmed milk was just right. It was not too hot. It was warm and somewhat

comfortable to drink. He was not sure if it was an illusion but he felt his symptoms getting a little

better.

Luca sat there, waiting for Jason to come back with the needles.

15 minutes later, Jason walked in. He was panting a little while holding a bag in his hand. "Dr. Craw,

I bought the needles but the pharmacy doesn't have the brand you requested. I bought them all, so

see if there are any suitable ones.”

Luca took the bag and saw several brands of needles. The corner of her mouth lifted as she said,

"This is too many."

"I don't know which ones are suitable, so I bought a little more..." Jason said, "There are also some

disinfectant pads.”

"Mm, in fact, you could have just chosen any." Luca took out one of the needles and some alcohol

swabs. She fixed her eyes on Luke and said, "Mr. Crawford, if you still feel uncomfortable, dry

needling can relieve the pain and help the medicine kick in faster.”

"How long will it take?" Luke asked. He looked at the thin needles in her hand without any

expression on his face.

"You'll feel better in about half an hour," Luca replied. She was confident in her skills and that it

would stop the pain in less than half an hour.

"Let's get started,” Luke finished the last sip of milk, then lay flat on the sofa.

Luca watched him bend his legs while on the sofa because of his long stature.

If he wanted to lie down flat, his legs may have to rest on the sofa arm.

Luke noticed that she was keeping quiet so he raised his head slightly and looked at her. "What's

the matter?”

"Mr. Crawford, do you have a lounge here? You need to lie down flat without bending or lifting your

legs for dry needling." Luca knew that there was a lounge in his office but she could not make it

obvious.
