Luke thought that Tina's suggestion made sense. He picked Luca up, went to the bathroom, and placed Luca in the bathtub.
"I'll help Dr. Craw clean up, Mr. Crawford. You should step outside for a while," Tina said.
"Mm." Luke shot a glance at Luca. Her arms were propped to the sides of the bathtub so that she did not slide. Her eyes remained closed, but she was conscious.
Luke stepped out of the bathroom.
Tina went inside and closed the door.
"Pardon me," she muttered under her breath before walking over to the bathtub. "Let me help you clean up, Dr. Craw. The water in the pool isn't clean."
Luca did not open her eyes or give any reaction.
Tina treated her silence as acknowledgment. She turned on the taps and started cleaning Luca.
They were both women, so Tina did not feel embarrassed. She deftly cleaned Luca's body while carrying out the task Luke had tasked her.
She had been wondering how she would accomplish the mission. Fortunately for her, Luca's accident at the pool gave her the opportunity.
After bathing Luca, she drained the water from the bathtub, then used the hairdryer to dry Luca's hair.
Tina helped Luca put on a bathrobe after drying her hair. She checked Luca's body again and did not find a tattoo.
When all was done, she opened the bathroom door. Luke was sitting on the couch outside.
"It's done, Mr. Crawford," Tina said, though she was shocked that her boss cared for Luca so much.
Every gesture showed care for Luca, other than the part where he asked Tina to find the tattoo on her body.
Luke stood up and went to the bathroom. He picked up Luca, who had already changed into a dry bathrobe, in a bridal carry.
Luca's head leaned onto his chest.
To nearly drown was a horrible sensation. She felt that her throat was swollen and sore, though it was pure bliss to lie in Luke's arms.
Luke walked out of the bathroom and placed her on the bed.
Luca felt the soft bed beneath her. Luke pulled his arms away.
She hoped that she could feel that warmth again…
"Mr. Crawford, allow me to take care of Dr. Craw. You should have some other matters to attend to," Tina volunteered.
"Don't worry about me. You should join the others at the pool." Luke sat down on the couch and looked toward the bed.
Seeing that Luke wanted to take care of Luca, Tina did not say anything. She knew that she should keep her mouth shut instead of speculating about their relationship.
She nodded and left the room. After she closed the door, she sent a message to Luke: [I've checked, Mr. Crawford. Dr. Craw doesn't have a tattoo on her body.]
After that, she went downstairs.
In the room, Luke received Tina's message. He did not say anything, but he sank into deep thought as he looked at the woman on the bed.
If Luca's body did not bear the tattoo, did it mean she was not from the Island of Despair?
'No, not necessarily,' Luke thought for a while and rejected that thought. Even though she did not have any tattoos on her body, her movements were suspicious, and her background was too perfect.
It was as though someone behind the scenes was sculpting the perfect character…
