Luke helped Luca to dress her wound without saying anything.
Louis turned to Luca and asked for confirmation, "Dr. Craw, is it true?"
"Yes." Luca looked down. Louis was Susan’s son. Luca showed him respect and chose not to report it to the police. Still, she felt that Louis deserved to know the truth.
"Louis," Luke called out to him.
"Brother, we have to call the police," said Louis. He could not be bothered that Susan was involved in this.
Louis felt guilty about the incident earlier, and with the situation Luca was in now, there was no way he could ignore it. He felt that he had to give Luca an explanation.
"Not now," replied Luke. Considering the numerous guests who came, it would make Louis and the Crawford family look bad if the police came.
"I’ll feel bad if I don't hand this over to the police," said Louis, insisting on it.
Susan and her friends actually embarrassed Luca on such an occasion. Luca was on Luke's side. There was no doubt that she was slapping Luke’s face.
There was no way Louis could tolerate this.
“Is your phone connected to the villa's surveillance system?" asked Luke.
"Yes. Why?" Louis picked up his phone and opened the app. He had the monitoring software installed on his phone when he asked someone to install the surveillance cameras outside the villa.
"Send me the surveillance footage of the camera that’s recording the pavilion in the backyard," instructed Luke.
Louis immediately understood that it was not that Luke was letting it slide. Instead, he was planning to investigate the matter after this.
Louis found the surveillance footage and fast-forwarded it to the part where Mrs. Jackman threw the teapot at Luca. He pursed his lips and saved the footage. Then, he sent it to Luke and said, "Luke, I've sent the footage to you."
"Alright." Luke was still carefully applying the burn ointment to Luca's wound. "Does it hurt?" asked Luke.
"No. It's just a minor burn," replied Luca as she shook her head.
No matter how painful it was, looking at the way Luke dressed her wound carefully made the pain disappear.
"Did the tea splash on any other parts of your body?" Luke asked while holding a cotton swab in one hand and ointment in the other.
"No. I managed to dodge and only got some minor burns." Luca shook her head, assuring him that she was fine.
It was just a minor injury. It would heal once the ointment was applied.
"Okay." Luke put the cap back onto the burn ointment. Then, he put it back in the first aid kit. He turned to Louis and said, "Thank you."
"Luke, you don't have to say that…" Louis felt helpless. He invited Luca over to the housewarming party, but Susan deliberately made things difficult for her. Her wealthy friends slandered her too. He felt bad for her, so he apologized, "I should be the one apologizing. Dr. Craw, I'm sorry for putting you through this."
"Mr. Louis, you have nothing to do with this. You don't have to apologize." Luca heaved a sigh and rose to her feet. How could she blame Louis?
This had nothing to do with Louis. That was why he did not have to apologize to her.
Moreover, even though Susan was his mother, she was also an adult who should be responsible for her actions. Susan should apologize to Luca.
Louis nodded and tried to put on a polite smile, but he could not force one out.
Luke looked at him and thought that even though Susan was not as much of a troublemaker as Allison, she had recently been getting more and more difficult to deal with.
If it were not for Susan demanding the set of limited edition jewelry, she would not have attended the party today and Louis would not have spent a fortune buying that set of jewelry.
Although Luke helped Louis to settle it, Louis returned most of the money to him.
