“I’m still a bit worried. Let me take a look in your room and change the dressing while I’m at it.”
Luca knew Luke would not want her to worry. Therefore, she needed to see for herself that everything was fine before she could feel at ease.
“Alright.” Luke knew she was worried about him, so the two of them headed into the room.
He took off his shirt, revealing the bandage wrapped around his torso.
Luca could not help but chuckle at the sight.
The wrapping was done by Gerald, and it was hilariously sloppy. It was haphazardly bound—overly tight in some places and entirely uneven. It looked like it was just meant to cover the wounds, with no thought for neatness.
“Stop laughing.” Luke was clearly rendered speechless by Gerald’s lackluster bandaging skills as well.
If it were not for the fact that it was difficult to bandage himself, he would never have let Gerald do it.
“With it wrapped like this, how are you supposed to sleep at night?” Luca asked as she began unwrapping the bandage. The front was not too bad, but the back was so messy that it was bound to be uncomfortable when lying down.
“I haven’t been sleeping well,” Luke admitted with a helpless shake of his head. “But honestly, it doesn’t matter. Without you by my side, I can’t sleep well anyway.”
Luca’s face turned a little red. Once the bandage was off, she inspected the scabbing wounds and let out a small sigh of relief.
The wounds did not require stitches, and it was healing well. Clearly, Luke had been following her instructions and had not been moving around recklessly over the past few days.
“How’s the recovery going?” asked Luke.
“Pretty good,” replied Luca as she picked up the iodine from the bedside table, gently cleaning the wounds before carefully applying some healing powder.
Just as she was focused on her work, a knock came at the door.
“Who is it?” Luke called out.
“It’s me,” Gerald’s voice answered from outside.
Luke and Luca exchanged a glance before he said, “Come in.”
Gerald pushed the door open. When he saw Luca tending to Luke's wounds, he did not seem surprised. With a cheerful grin, he said, “I figured Ms. Craw would be here with you.”
Luca glanced over her shoulder at him. “Do you need something?”
“Not exactly. I just thought I’d check on his wounds. Don’t you think the healing’s a bit slow?” Gerald pointed at Luke’s chest.
The wounds were clearly scabbing over.
Luca immediately understood what Gerald meant.
For an average person, this healing speed was considered fast. However, for someone from the Island of Despair, it should be much quicker.
Her expression did not change as she calmly replied, “Everyone heals at different speeds.”
“But didn’t we take that special medication? This doesn’t add up. Maybe you should run some tests, Dr. Craw, to see if there’s any underlying issue slowing down the healing process?” Gerald was genuinely curious.
He had grown closer to Luke recently and thought it was a good idea to show concern.
Luca replied expressionlessly, “There’s no need for tests. He’s perfectly fine.”
Gerald looked at her, then shifted his gaze to Luke. Both of them had the same expression.
Gerald instantly felt awkward. Rubbing his nose, he decided not to say anything more.
Luca carefully applied the healing powder to each wound.
Then, she finally wrapped the bandage with precision.
As Gerald watched her work, she could not help but compare it to his own sloppy attempt. He gave her a thumbs-up. “No wonder you’re a pro. You do a way better job than me. Lucius has been complaining non-stop about how I've been bandaging him up these past few days.”
“The way you wrapped it, anyone would lose sleep over it,” Luca said helplessly. “This is the proper way to wrap a bandage.”
Gerald leaned closer to observe, eager to learn.
Luca demonstrated once more, then handed him the bandage. “Your turn.”
“I didn’t know there was so much skill involved in wrapping a bandage. I thought it was enough to just cover the wounds.” Gerald took the bandage and started wrapping it around the wounds.
With Luca’s guidance, his wrapping turned out much neater this time.
“How’s that? Not bad, right? I think I’ve got some talent!” Gerald could not help but feel proud.
