Luca nodded and rushed to leave.
She sat in the car and cautiously drove out of the villa.
At that moment, it was already past midnight. The thought of Luke might be facing all sorts of situations in the hospital made her drive faster as there were not many cars on the road as well.
She rushed to the hospital and rushed to park the car and headed to the main building of the hospital.
Because she had previously enquired that Luke was currently at the emergency department, she then rushed her way over there.
Percy saw her rushing there and was unable to conceal the anxious look on her face that made him think about it. 'Maybe Luke got lucky out of this accident.'
The instant Luca saw Percy, she rushed to him. "Mr. Mallory, where's Mr. Crawford?"
"He just underwent all the investigations. Now the doctors are in there discussing the management," Percy said.
"Then did the doctors say anything?" Luca asked cautiously. Her heart was racing, afraid she might be hearing bad news.
Percy shook his head. "The doctor didn't say anything and simply had a serious look on their faces. But rest assured, all doctors are like that. Besides, I got Johann over to tend to him. It will be fine."
Luca was relieved when she got to know that Johann was involved. She felt relieved knowing he was helping with Luke.
"Mr. Mallory, isn't Mr. Crawford working overtime? How did he get himself involved in a road traffic accident…?" she blurted. She wondered whether it was her overthinking as the moment she met up with Percy, she smelled a strong stench of liquor.
However, after sniffing it properly, it smelled like antiseptic.
"Well, there will be times when a man will meet with the unfortunate. You got it, do you?" Percy said.
Luca shook her head. "Can you make it clearer? Are you saying that Luke met with an accident after work?"
"No. Something is bugging him, and he could not think through it. Hence, he dragged me along with Jim to have alcohol. After drinking, when he was about to leave, he was then knocked down by a few drunk youngsters," Percy had no choice but to say the truth. Anyway, it was not a bad thing to let her know of Luke's true emotions.
"He's knocked down?" Luca widened her eyes, astonished. 'He was drunk and drove, yet being knocked down?'
Percy knew what she was suspecting and waved his hand helplessly. "Yes. He's knocked down when he's walking on the sidewalk. Those drunken youngsters thought that driving their motorcycles on the sidewalk would not be an issue. They didn't expect their speed to be so fast and Luke didn't manage to avoid them. The youngsters couldn't brake in time so…"
"I got it…" Luca kept quiet. 'Will it be that serious after being knocked down by a motorcycle?
'Things might not be serious if the collision wasn’t too severe but it’s hard to say for sure; things will be unpredictable.'
"Have a seat first. The doctors will be out soon," said Percy and got up. "I'll go buy a bottle of water. Do you want?"
"No thanks." Luca thought of asking more in detail, so she could get to know about Luke's condition soon. However, it seemed that Percy had said everything that he knew.
It would be better if she just sat on the long bench and wait.
After some time, Johann opened the curtain and came out. "Dr. Craw, why are you alone here? Where's Percy?"
Luca immediately got up and looked at him. "He went to buy a bottle of water. Dr. Park, how's Mr. Crawford?"
He still had tons of stuff to attend to in the company. 'If I'm leaving, who is going to look after him?'
Johann noticed her frowning and deep in thought. He then added, "We don’t need to arrange for him to undergo any operation. You brought his identity card, right? Just give it to me and I'll have someone settle it. Then, I'll help to arrange for the cement application."
Luca took out Luke's identity card from her pocket.
Johann received the identity card and held it in his hand. “Then, I shall proceed to apply the cement cast for him. You may have a seat here first. Once the cement cast is done, he will be transferred up to the ward. Right now, he is still unconscious. Tonight, it’s best if there is someone to keep him company.”
“I’ll be the one,” Luca said as she was not assured to get other nurses to take care of Luke.
“Alright.” Johann looked at Luca’s look that was deep in thought and smirked. ‘It seemed this time, Luke’s wish is going to come true. This time, it will be after one month later if Luca wants to leave him.’
He returned to the emergency department.
Luca sat on the long bench.
At that moment, Percy was done purchasing water and came over. He gave one of the bottles of water to Luca. “Dr. Craw, have some water.”
“Thanks.” Luca took it over and explained to Percy, “Earlier, Dr. Park came out and told me the result.”
“How’s Luke?” Even though Percy had already known Luke’s condition, he still put up an act, pretending not to know and asked.
Luca blurted everything that Johann said, feeling depressed.
