Chapter 2584 She Was His Only Exception
Luke hurried over, and before she could speak, he picked up her bandaged hand and had a look.
Luca blushed.
Luke's outstanding appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Mr. Crawford, let's go over there..." Luca pointed to a corner where no one was around.
Luke took her hand and walked over with a stern expression on his face.
"Does it hurt?" They stood in the corner. He did not look too good as he looked at her hand that was tightly
bound by gauze.
"It doesn't hurt anymore," Luca said. Johann's stitching skills were top-notch. There was almost no blood oozing
out after the sutures.
"You took too big of a risk." Luke frowned. Rain had already told him about what happened on the phone. She
used herself as bait to keep Jack and Queenie safe.
"In that situation, | had no other choice. They were coming for me. If something were to wrong with Mr. and Mrs.
Norman, I'd..." Luca paused and did not continue to speak.
She thought that it was her fault for putting her parents in danger.
If she had not stepped forward, she would likely have felt guilty for a lifetime.
"Regardless, you shouldn't have held the dagger with your hand." Luke frowned and felt sorry that she got
injured.
He did not expect that the trespassers would enter Norman Residence without triggering the alarm. He did not
know how they did it.
He had hired someone to upgrade Norman Residence's alarm system a few years ago. The alarm would be
triggered whenever someone forcefully unlocked the lock or if the fingerprint lock was entered incorrectly three
times.
However, Rain and the others did not hear the alarm when they were waiting outside.
It seemed that Leia was the most suspicious out of the bunch.
It was also possible that the group of people decided to make a move on the Norman Residence a long tago.
"As you said, | couldn't put myself in such passive danger, so this was the best way." Luca glanced at her gauze-
wrapped hand. It did not matter if she was a little injured as long as she could save Queenie. It would have been
better not to put her in that kind of danger in the first place.
Luke kept silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe did say that, but at the time, he did not expect Luca to do such a thing.
When she saw his gloomy expression, Luca pretended to be relaxed and said, "Everything is fine now. Rain and
the others quickly controlled the situation. I'm just a little injured. The stitches can be removed in seven days."
"It's still going to take seven days," Luke said. "Be mentally prepared. In the coming week, there'll be someone
taking care of you."
He knew that Luca did not like being taken care of by others.
However, she only had one good hand now. Since her right hand was injured, she would need shelp.
As such, it was destined that someone would have to take care of her...
Luca was speechless. She thought that she should have held the blade with her left hand. Maybe it would have
been more convenient...
"When the tcomes, I'll have Crawford Manor send a maid over," Luke said. After two seconds, he added,
"She'll focus on taking care of you."
"Mr. Crawford, | still have one hand that | can use..." Luca shook her left hand.
"I'll be busy during this tand won't be able to help you with many things. Do you want the three children to
help you?" Luke asked.
It was all hands on deck in T Corporation.
The bidding for the government project was ready to start, so the whole company was occupied. He wanted to
spend all his tin the office to make sure that he won the project.
‘Have the kids take care of me..."
Luca shook his head and said, "I prefer having the maid."
"Con, let's go to the ward." Luke took her left hand and walked toward the inpatient department. "Okay."
Luca nodded.
"There are police over there in the ward. They'll likely record a statement. You just need to tell them what you
saw," Luke added.
"Should | tell them about Leia's reaction? Do you wantto tell them?" Luca did not know whether to tell the
police about Leia's reaction.
"There's no need for the tbeing. I'm certain the police will investigate further. Rain asked them to make a
copy of the villa's surveillance footage, so if there's a problem, it won't be too late to deal with Leia then," Luke
said.
Leia claimed that she was a victim. Although they knew that she was a suspect, the police would not do anything
without evidence.
Moreover, Leia would also be making a statement, and she would definitely position it in her favor.
Luke did not need Luca to tell the police what they suspected of Leia. He would investigate it secretly.
"Okay, | got it." Luca believed he could handle it.
Moreover, Leia refused to admit anything when she was at the scene. She had likely taken actions to cover her
grounds, so even if the police investigated, they would not suspect her.
Luke took Luca's hand, and they stepped into the elevator.
There were many people in the hospital, but there were no people in the elevator just after they got in. It was
only after they stepped in that the crowd flooded in.
Luke and Luca were cornered.
"Mm..." The person next to Luca accidentally touched her right hand, and she could not help but groan in pain.
Luke heard it and reminded the person next to her, "Be careful."
The man next to her noticed that Luca's hand was injured and knew that he was in the wrong, so he apologized
quickly, "I'm sorry, | didn't see it. | hope | didn't hurt you."
Luca shook her head and responded, "It's fine."
Luke did not speak anymore. There were not many occasions like this that he would speak to a stranger in such
a tone.
She was his only exception.
Luke picked up her hand and put it on
his chest. He then re ghedoud His!

The elevator was going higher and higher, so more and more people got in. Eventually, there was more space in
the elevator.
Only then did Luke drop his arm.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief. She felt like she could choke at any moment if he kept getting so close.
"Does your hand hurt? Letsee if the wound is open," Luke asked and was about to pick up her hand to check
for bleeding.
Luca shook her head slightly and
pulled out her hand at the SaReme.

After a quick inspection, he found that her gauze was still white. He was relieved when it seemed that there was
no cracking and bleeding.
The elevator reached the top floor, and the two walked out of the elevator together.
The nurses in the VIP ward knew Luke and Luca, so they walked to the corridor without a hitch.
Two policemen were standing at the door of one of the wards. Luca guessed it was Jack's and Queenie's
ward.
They walked over together.
"You can go to visit Mr. and Mrs. Norman while I'll record a statement," Luca said to Luke, who was beside
her.
"Okay." Luke opened the door and walked in.
Luca said to the two police officers, "I'm Luca, a witness and a victim."
"Ms. Craw, please go to the nurse's lounge with us to record your statement," the police officer said.
