Chapter 2588 You've Already Apologized

When Luca heard Jack say it was the misfortune of the family, Luca pursed her lips. She held a

grudge against Leia.

Everything pointed to Leia...

“Mr. Norman, say no more. Get some rest. I'll be here,” said Luca.

Jack continued, “Luca, you're injured too. You don't have to stay here. Ask Luke to find us a

caretaker. You have to take care of yourself too.”

Luca felt a lump in her throat, and she could not help but choke with sobs. “Don’t worry, Mr.

Crawford has everything arranged. The caretaker will be coming soon.”

Jack blinked his eyes and slowly closed them.

Johann was worried that the concussion would cause some discomfort, so he added some

painkillers to the IV drip.

Luca glanced at the two IV fluid bags. They were running out of liquid. Thus, she pressed the call

bell.

The head nurse walked into the ward and asked, “What's wrong with the patients?”

“The IV fluids are running out.” Luca pointed at the two IV fluid bags beside both beds.

The head nurse walked toward Jack's bedside and replied, “Okay. Let me change them. What's the

patient's name?”

"Jack Norman,” Luca answered on behalf of Jack as he was asleep.

"Okay. Jack Norman.” The head nurse checked the patient's name on the IV fluid bags and

confirmed that it was the same person. After that, she changed the IV fluid bags and walked to

Queenie’s ward bed, she asked, “What's the patient's name?”

"Queenie Zeigler," Luca answered her questions patiently as she knew it was a procedure the

medical staff had to go through

The head nurse checked the name on the IV fluid bags and made sure that there was nothing

wrong with it. Then, she changed the IV fluid bags for Queenie.

Then, she turned to look at Luca, “Ms. Craw, are you staying here to take care of Mr. Norman and

his wife?”

“No, I'm just staying here for a while. The caretaker will be here soon,” replied Luca as she shook her

head. She would like to look after Jack and Queenie too, but she was in no position to do that.

“I see. Please press the call bell if anything happens,” said the head nurse. Then, she left the ward

without saying another word.

"Okay. Thank you.” Luca was polite to the head nurse. Not long after the nurse left, Luke came back

carrying two lunch boxes in his hands.

"Did they wake up?”

Luca shot a glance at Jack and shifted her gaze to Queenie. Then, she replied in an upset tone, "Mr.

Norman woke up for a while. Mrs. Norman hasn't woken up yet."

"Okay. Johann said they'll be fine. Don't worry.” That was all Luke could say. After all, the CT scan

results showed that the two of them were fine at the moment. Hence, there was nothing the

hospital could do now.

The ward door was pushed open again. A middle-aged woman in the hospital's caretaker uniform

walked into the ward and greeted, “Good afternoon. I'm the caretaker who's here to take care of the

patients.”

"Okay. Remember to inform the doctor when they're awake,” said Luke.

The caretaker nodded and replied, “Don’t worry. The doctor has already informed me about the

patients’ condition. I know what to do.”

“Let's eat.” Luke turned to look at Luca. It was already almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and Luca

had not had her lunch yet.

“Let's go outside,” said Luca in a soft voice. Although she wanted to stay by Queenie’s side, she did

not bear to disturb them.

The smell of food was too strong.

"Okay." Luke knew there was a rooftop garden outside the ward, and there were tables and chairs

placed in the garden, providing the patients a place to rest.

The two of them walked out of the ward.

Luca walked beside Luke. They strolled down the hallway and came to the rooftop balcony. The

weather was still cold. That was why no one was hanging around the rooftop garden. They walked

toward the gazebo and sat down at the table.

The weather was chilly. Luke frowned. He should not have let Luca come out here to have lunch.

“Are you cold?” Luke took his coat off.

Luca shook her head and replied, “No. Hurry up and put it on.”

Luke saw that Luca did not feel cold at all. He had no choice but to put his coat back on. Then, he

handed one of the lunch boxes to her and said, “The food served at the cafeteria downstairs doesn't

taste good. Only the steak is. Have some.”

"How did you know the food in the cafeteria doesn't taste good...” Luca could not help but ask with

curiosity.

Although Luke would sometimes come to the hospital, he had never eaten the food in the cafeteria.

"The waiter recommended this." Luke helped Luca to open the lunch box. He then handed the

cutleries to her and said, "I know it's inconvenient for you to cut the steak, so I asked the waiter to

cut it into strips. If you're not used to it, I don't mind feeding you. Come on, eat it. It'll easily go cold

out here."

“Thanks.” Luca took the cutleries from Luke with her left hand.

She was so worried about Queenie and Jack that she lost her appetite, but she forced herself to take

a few bites so that Luke would not be worried.

The steak tasted better than she expected. Luca turned to look at Luke.

There was a steak in his lunchbox too.

"It's not that bad," Luca commented.

"Okay. Have more then.” Luke picked up some steak bites and put them in Luca's lunch box.

He knew how the food served in the cafeteria tasted. The steak was not recommended by the waiter

either. Luke knew that Luca might lose her appetite, which was why he picked something that tasted

better.

Luke asked the waiter to serve every dish they had prepared today and took a bite of each dish to

taste it. Finally, he thought the steak tasted much better than the other dishes. Only then did he

order two pieces of steak and asked the waiter to wrap them up.

With all the efforts he put into his relationship with Luca, he only wanted her to have another

mouthful of lunch. He did not want her to starve.

“I have enough...” Luca looked at the steak bites and shook her head. She wanted to pick them up

and put them back into Luke's lunch box, but Luke stopped her and said, “Finish the steak bites.”

Luca had no choice but to listen to him. She ate them all.

After that, she put down her cutleries and said, “Mr. Crawford, can I return to the ward to see

them?"

They had only left for a while, but Luca was worried that she would miss the chance of seeing Jack

and Queenie waking up.

Even though she knew the caretaker was professional and she could take good care of the couple,

she was still worried about them.

“Okay.” Luke did not ask her to have more.

Luca was not in the mood to eat. She had already done a great job eating.

Luca picked up the tissue and wiped her mouth. She rose to her feet and headed to the ward.

Luke took another two bites of steak. He received a call from Rain when he was about to throw the

lunchboxes away after putting them in the plastic bag.

“Boss, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I failed to protect Ms. Craw.” Rain apologized to him.

She had already apologized once back then.

However, if it were not for her and her subordinates’ negligence, thinking that Luca would be safe at

Norman Residence, Luca and the Norman couple would not have encountered such a situation.

Hence, it was their fault for taking things easy and underestimating their enemy.

"You've already apologized to me,” replied Luke. He recalled how harsh he was to Rain and what he

had said to her when he found out that Luca's hand was injured and she was admitted to the

hospital.

He could not blame Rain.

He did not expect those men to lose their minds and take things to the extreme. Moreover, Norman

Residence had a secure home security system. Under normal circumstances, there was no way Rain

could not have noticed the men breaking into the house. She would not have let Luca be injured.

“Be more attentive next time,” said Luke.

"Yes, Boss. I've already given my statement, but the police officers want the others to make a

statement too. If they have to head to the police station to give their statements, then I can only

arrange for them to do so first. The crime scene investigation will have to be delayed,” reported

Rain.
