Chapter 1867 She Needed Money

After a few minutes, Tina walked in with a few documents. "Dr. Craw, these are the documents you'll

be working on today.”

"Okay, thanks.” Luca took them and put the documents on the table.

Tina looked at the thick folder. It looked like a lot, but compared to Alya's workload, it was not

much at all.

After all, Alya did most of the translation work.

"Dr. Craw, there are more documents today, so it'll be a bigger pile than yesterday's,” Tina

explained.

"It's okay, I can handle it." Luca smiled, turned on the computer, and started to work.

Tina did not want to disturb her and walked out of her office.

On the other hand, in South Korea.

Luke checked Allison into a well-known plastic surgery hospital in Seoul.

Allison looked at the interior and frowned, dissatisfied. "You put me in a hospital like this? The

environment is not very good.”

Luke looked at the luxuriously decorated ward. It was still a ward, after all. It was a little different

from a five-star hotel. He said indifferently, “This is a hospital, not a hotel."

"I know it's a hospital, but is this their best ward? How can they serve the rich like this?" Allison

looked at her son. Since there was no one else in the ward, she took off her hat and mask, revealing

her face full of wrinkles.

Luke put his hands in his pockets and looked at her impatiently. "This is the best plastic surgery

hospital in the whole of South Korea. This ward is the most expensive one. One usually has to make

an appointment and wait for a long time to be able to get this ward. More than ten people are

waiting for this ward. If you don't want to stay here, you can go back to A City."

When Allison heard him mention A City, she backed down. She immediately said, "I didn't say

anything. Why do you always threaten to send me back to A City? Do you want me to live my life

with this face? What? You don't want to send me for treatment?"

Luke did not answer her.

Allison knew that this was her last chance, so she had to seize it. She picked up her phone and

checked the information about this hospital on the Internet.

After three minutes, she found out that the plastic surgery hospital they were in was indeed the best

in South Korea. Many celebrities chose to have plastic surgery here and received a great outcome.

The doctors’ skills were good, and the services were rated five stars. Allison's dissatisfaction was

eased.

She put her phone away, cleared her throat, and said, "Since you said this place is good, let's stay.

But are you sure this is the best ward?”

Luke nodded, he was still cold.

Allison said, "Okay, then I'll get my treatment here. Handle the paperwork for me. Can I have a face-

to-face consultation today?"

"The doctor who's taking your case is on a business trip and won't be back until the day after

tomorrow, but you can check in tonight." Luke glanced at his phone. The person he hired should be

handling the procedure for Allison.

He knew that Allison was not easily fooled, so it took him a long time to get a booking.

On top of that, he got her this ward. One could imagine the extent of his preparations.

"Why are we checking in so early then?" Allison did not like hospitals. Although it was a plastic

surgery hospital, it also smelled of disinfectant.

"To help you settle down first," Luke said. Just then, someone opened the door.

Allison was startled. She immediately turned around and covered her face.

She could act as if nothing had happened in front of Luke because she was used to it. However, she

was still afraid of facing outsiders.

She was worried that she would be laughed at for her appearance, especially in this unfamiliar

country. They were going to gossip about her in Korean and she would not be able to understand

them.

"Hello, sir. Since you and the patient have seen the ward, are you satisfied with it?" The nurse came

in to confirm with Luke whether or not they would be proceeding with this ward. After all, many

people were waiting for this ward.

"Yes, we'll take this ward," Luke replied in fluent Korean.

Looking at his cold appearance and hearing him speak in fluent Korean with his sexy voice, the

nurse's face flushed slightly. She said, "Okay, I'll check the patient in.”

Luke nodded. After the nurse left, Allison turned around and complained, "These nurses are so

rude.”

"You're not a patient here yet." Luke reminded her that she was not in A City. Why was she still

acting like she was above everyone else?

Allison pursed her lips. "Are you my son? Why don’t you ever side with me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open again. A young woman walked in. "Mr.

Crawford, Ms. Tanner's hospitalization procedures have been completed. She can be admitted

tonight.”

"Mm." Luke nodded, took the document in her hand, checked it, and found no issues. "I'll leave it to

you. Thanks for taking care of her during her treatment.”

"That's what I'm supposed to do,” the young woman said. She was the interpreter and carer for

Allison whom Luke hired.

When she heard the conversation between the two, Allison immediately asked, "Luke, what do you

mean? She's going to take care of me? What about you?"

Luke raised his eyebrows. “Did she think I would stay here to take care of her?"

"You have to undergo treatment for a long time, so I found an interpreter and nurse for you. She'll

be responsible for everything that comes next,” Luke said.

"What about you?" Allison continued to ask.

"I'm going home," Luke said coldly.

"No, you can't go back to A City!" Allison wanted to keep him by her side. She did not want to be

left alone in a foreign country. She felt very insecure without him.

She also thought that he might just abandon her here.

"You want me to stay here with you for your treatment?" Luke frowned.

"I'm your mother. I raised you for so many years, so shouldn't you take care of me?" Allison used

their relationship to guilt-trip him.

Luke was tired and knew that she would fight with him over his intention to return to A City. Hence,

he said, "There's still a project in A City waiting for me to deal with. If I don't go back, the project will

not be completed and T Corporation will face huge losses. I have to go back.”

Allison listened to him and was at a loss for words momentarily.

What she needed more than Luke's presence was money.

If T Corporation lost the bidding because Luke had to stay with her, the shareholders of T

Corporation would hold him accountable. T Corporation might be snatched by Louis in minutes.

If Louis was made the president of T Corporation, she would have no say in the Crawford family.

Even if she was cured, she would not have her status anymore.

Allison could not let that happen. She gave in and said, "That's fair. Your domestic projects are more

important. Okay, after you're done with the arrangements here, go back to A City."
