Luke: [Alright, I'll send you the location.]
Luke knew what Luca was thinking. If he really stopped her from coming, she might feel guilty, which could lead to serious consequences.
When Luca received the location from Luke, she turned around and said to Rhett, who was busy working behind her, "Mr. Link, could you help me take the afternoon off? Something came up."
“Sure, Dr. Craw,” Rhett agreed.
None of the other researchers said anything either. After all, Luca handed tasks to them every day. Thus, Luca taking a leave would not affect the progress of their projects.
In fact, their research group was known for not being affected by the lead researcher's absence.
It was not that Luca was dispensable but her research plans were well-structured, and the team just needed to follow them.
Moreover, their current research, like the previous one, was progressing smoothly without any major issues.
Luca waited at the company until noon. She headed straight to the hospital without getting lunch.
Knowing that Gale and Rain were also there, she bought a few boxed lunches on the way and rushed to the hospital. When Luca arrived at the hospital, she walked to the door of the ward Luke had given her the number for.
She knocked and then pushed the door open.
“You're here.” Luke nodded as he saw her walk in.
Luca nodded back and glanced around the room. Besides Luke, Gale and Rain were also there. She put down the boxed lunches and walked to Gordan's bedside.
“Mr. Norton,” greeted Luca, noticing that he did not look well.
Considering he had just undergone surgery, his condition was understandable, so she was relieved.
“Bianca…” Gordan greeted her before closing his eyes again.
Since there was no one else in the ward, it was okay for him to address her like that.
“Was it a general anesthesia surgery?” Luca asked the other three.
“Yes, general anesthesia,” replied Luke.
Luca understood his weakness better.
She said, “You'll feel uncomfortable after general anesthesia. Mr. Norton, please rest for now. You can't drink or eat anything for the first eight hours after surgery. Please bear with it.”
Gale reassured her, “Don't worry, I'll take good care of him. Dr. Park just explained to me how to take care of a patient after general anesthesia. Relax, I can manage this.”
After Johann mentioned someone needed to stay overnight to take care of Gordan, Gale decided to stay.
After all, Gordan got injured because of him.
Given it was a gunshot wound, hiring a caretaker was out of the question, especially since their discussions would be inconvenient with an outsider present.
“Yes, if you see Mr. Norton's lips are getting dry, remember to use a cotton swab to moisten them,” reminded Luca. She thought this task might be unsuitable for a man.
However, there was no other choice. Gordan was alone now, and given the gunshot wound, hiring a caretaker could cause complications.
“I know what to do. Don’t worry,” replied Gale. Johann had explained everything to him, so he knew what to do.
Luca nodded, took another look at Gordan's condition, and then sat down next to Luke.
“How many mercenaries?” asked Luca. She was confident that Luke had already checked the ward for any surveillance and bugging devices. Since Gale and Gordan felt safe calling her Bianca,' it was clear there were not any in the ward.
Therefore, she did not need to worry.
“Eight,” answered Luke.
“Have they all been dealt with?” Luca asked again, thinking about what Gordan had mentioned yesterday. Each mercenary cost at least a million US dollars, totaling at least eight million US dollars.
They had spent at least eight million US dollars to rescue Matysh.
To ensure Matysh’s safety, they had indeed spent a large sum of money. Still, what could it change after spending such a large sum of money? They still failed.
