Chapter 1280 Are You Alright, Dr. Craw?
After breakfast, Jason asked the nurse for a bag to keep Johann's coat. Then, he began to pack up.
He noticed that Luke had barely eaten his food and asked," Is that going to be enough for you, Mr. Crawford?"
"Take it away." Luke did not feel hungry at all.
Tommy was sitting on the couch drinking milk. When he heard that, he said, "Daddy is a picky eater. He only likes to eat food that
Ms. Luca cooks for him."
Luke shot a glance at his son. Then, he used the remote control to lower the bed.
Jason cleared his throat and said, "I can get you something else to eat if you don't want sandwiches."
Luke shook his head and said, "Go to the company and get me my documents."
Jason was quite surprised. Why would Luke want to work when he could not even get out of bed?
Luke noticed that Jason was still standing there. He glanced at him coldly, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
"I did, but the condition of your body..." Jason said hesitantly.
"Shall I repeat myself?" Luke said.
Jason felt a chill course down his spine. He could tell that his boss was not in a good mood. He shook his head and
said, ‘Til go to the company right now. Shall I hire a caretaker for you?"
"There's no need," Luke said. He glanced at Tommy, who was playing on his phone while sitting on the couch, and said, "Bring
over the books from yesterday too."
"Yes." Jason did not insist when Luke said that he did not want a caretaker. In any case, the company was not too far away from
the hospital, so there should not be any major accidents while he was gone.
While he walked to the door, Luke told him again, "Throw the coat away."
Jason went to pick up the bag that contained the coat before leaving the ward.
It seemed that Luke would not rest easy unless Johann's coat was gone.
Luke should have been used to Johann joking with him, but today...
Jason remembered what Tommy said earlier. 'Is Mr. Crawford behaving like this because of Luca?' He could not help but think.
He looked at the bag in his hand and sank into deep thought. A while later, he went toward the nurses' station.
Jason kept the coat at the nurses' station instead of throwing it away. After all, Johann was popular at the hospital. Indeed, when
Jason mentioned Johann's name, several nurses volunteered to take the coat under their care.
Meanwhile, Johann sent Luca back to the hotel, where she hurriedly changed her clothes.
By the time the two people went to the venue, the conference had already started.
With Johann leading the way, Luca was ushered into the auditorium before she presented her invitation letter. She could not help
but be impressed by Johann's popularity as she watched him surrounded by groups of people.
Luca did not mind being ignored. She looked around, noticed Dr. Albus and the other people, and walked over.
When Dr. Albus saw Luca come over, he asked, "Are you alright, Dr. Craw?"
Luca shook her head. "I’m fine."
Dr. Albus discreetly sized her up. She wore some light makeup for yesterday's conference, but she did not wear any makeup at
all today, as though she did not respect the conference at all.
"I'm glad that you're fine. I thought you're late because you're caught up in some accident," Dr. Albus said.
Luca was slightly appalled by how Dr. Albus presented himself. She did not tell him about what happened to Luke in case he
suspected something.
Dr. Albus might not say anything to her, but she could tell that he would be thinking of something inappropriate.
Luca did not pay attention throughout the conference that lasted the entire day.
At the end of the conference, Luca did not leave with Dr. Albus and the others. Instead, she took a cab and left herself.
Dr. Albus's assistant noticed that Luca was acting differently today. He asked Rhett, "What's up with Dr. Craw?"
"I don't know." Rhett seemed worried as he watched her leave.
"Aren't you her assistant? Why don't you know? She seems like she's in a hurry. Don't tell me that she's going on a date with
someone?" Dr. Albus's assistant said.
Rhett ignored him and continued walking.
Luca took the cab to the police station.
She thought that it would be difficult for her to request a meeting with Paul, but when she mentioned Luke's name, a female
police officer brought her to the questioning room.
Soon, Paul was brought there too.
The two people sat opposite each other. Luca shot a glance at Paul's handcuffs and asked, "How did you get the snake venom?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Paul was slightly surprised but managed to keep his cool. He had been waiting to hear
the good news since the night before.
Eventually, he found out that the man was poisoned, just as he expected.
However, instead of begging him for help, the man's assistant stopped them from being bailed out.
Seeing that the young man was not going to say anything, Luca spoke candidly, "You were the one who handed the Swiss army
knife to William. You should know that the knife was coated with snake venom, right?"
Paul remained silent. Luca could tell that Paul was not going to tell her anything useful if she followed that line of questioning.
"Let me guess. The snake venom was meant to injure someone else," Luca said.
Paul's eyes instinctively blinked.
"I don't really care who you want to harm, and there's no point in feigning ignorance about the snake venom because the
forensics department has analyzed it. All I want to know is where you got the snake venom." Luca slammed on the table and
asked him aggressively.
Sensing the woman's imposing demeanor, Paul realized that it was a bad idea to use the woman to kill William.
His body shuddered involuntarily.
Luca could tell that Paul was afraid, so she continued her questioning. "Tell me, where did you get the venom?"
"I got it from someone on the black market," Paul eventually divulged the truth.
He could tell that Luca was only interested in the source of the venom, and she did not really care about who he intended to
harm. If he could tell her what she wanted to know, she should not ask him about other things.
"I want to know how to contact him," Luca tapped the table with her fingers.
"I don't know how," Paul said.
"Let me give you another chance, Paul. I'm not the only person who's investigating this incident, though I can consider helping
you if you can provide me with useful information," Luca said.
She could tell that Luke's subordinates were on the case as well.
She would rather not conduct the investigation herself. After all, her time in New York was limited, and that would increase her
workload greatly.
Paul pressed his lips and weighed the pros and cons.
Eventually, he made up his mind. "Give me a pen and paper."
Luca handed over a piece of notepaper and a pen from her handbag.
Paul wrote down a name and an address. "This is as far as I know. You can go to this address, and if you're lucky, you might
meet him."
