Chapter 1288 An Intimate Distance
Luca walked over to the bed and bent over slightly.
Luke extended his arm and put it around her shoulder while his other arm held onto the cabinet beside the bed. He managed to
get down from the bed.
They were so close to each other right now. Luca did not dare to look at the expression on his face. Instead, she looked down at
the floor and asked, "How are you feeling?" "I'm fine," replied Luke. He felt a little dizzy when his feet touched the floor but he felt
fine when he managed to stabilize himself. Everything felt fine except for the fact that his feet were still a little weak.
"Let’s try walking a few steps. Don't force yourself, though." Luca felt his warm breath on her scalp when he spoke to her. She
could not stop her face from turning red.
Luke replied with an, "Mm." He then tried taking his first steps.
Luca tried to keep up with him while paying close attention to his breathing. At that moment, she could hear that his breathing
was peaceful, so she said nothing and helped him to the bathroom.
After setting him down on the toilet seat, she said to him, "Sit here."
Luke nodded in response.
Luca helped him sit down and then said, "I'll be waiting for you outside.
Just call me when you're done."
After that, she quickly left the bathroom and closed the door.
Luca leaned her back against the wall and took a deep breath. It was just a short journey to the bathroom but she was sweating
all over her back and her heart pounded uncontrollably.
When she was helping him walk, she could feel that he was looking downward. His warm breath was sprayed over her scalp.
She could not be sure if he was doing that on purpose or not.
The distance between them was intimately close earlier, and she almost could not handle that feeling. Everything that she
experienced just now felt deliberate when in reality, it was not.

Luca leaned against the wall as she looked up at the ceiling, fanning her face with one hand. She hoped that it might disperse
the heat a little quicker.
After a while, she heard flushing noises from the bathroom. Just as she hesitated to go in, the door opened from the inside.
Luke held the door with one hand while supporting himself on the wall with the other as he walked out.
Luca quickly grabbed his arm. "Are you alright, Mr. Crawford?"
She did not expect him to walk out just like that.
"I'm fine," he replied. He let her help him back to bed.
Luca helped him up onto the bed before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Luke looked at her and asked, "Were you calling my name when you woke up?"
Luca was stunned. She had dreamed of something when she was sleeping earlier. Something about the past. When she woke
up, she could not tell if she was still dreaming or not. That was why she did that.
She shook her head and replied, "I don’t think so. You must have misheard me, Mr. Crawford."
Luke was sure that he heard it right, but since she did not want to address the issue, he would not press her further either. He
was only taking a gander. He said, "It’s getting late, let’s get some sleep." "Mm," replied Luca as she turned and walked back to
her chair.
Even with her back turned toward him, she could feel his gaze on her back.
She pretended as if nothing was going on and pulled the covers on Tommy before lying down, her back still turned toward the
patient on the bed.
She then heard a slight rustle on the other bed. She knew that Luke had already gone back to bed.
Luca closed her eyes and touched her face. She had gotten red-faced one too many times today...
Could Luke see what was happening to her face with that lamp on...
Jason was still in his office. He set an alarm to remind himself to give Sue a video call.

After the call went through, Kari and Teri’s faces showed up on the screen.
Jason smiled as he spoke to the sisters for a while before Sue appeared.
Sue looked at the background behind him and asked, "Are you still in the office?" "Mm." Jason looked at her lovingly through the
screen, but he still missed her.
Sue retorted, "How long are you working overtime for? Luke is so cruel making you work like this. Don't tell me you're the only
one working overtime?” "No, I just worked until ten o'clock today. But I feel a little lazy to go back to the hotel, so I'm spending the
night in the office," Jason explained.
"Are you stupid or what? You have a hotel to stay in but you want to sleep in the office? Is the office table more comfortable to
sleep on?" Sue rolled her eyes at him as she chided him in disdain, but Jason knew that she was simply concerned about him.
"The office is closer to the hospital, so it’ll be easier for me to go there tomorrow," Jason explained. Luke mentioned that he
should be able to get discharged by tomorrow, so he might as well sleep in the office since he was working until ten o'clock that
night. Besides, he would not be in a rush when he went over to the hospital tomorrow.
"Hospital? Are you not feeling well?" Sue immediately wanted to take a good look at him, so she brought her face closer to the
screen.
"Not me but my boss." Jason then told her everything about Luke getting bit by a snake. 3
Sue was relieved after she heard his story. She did not have the mood to care about what had happened to Luke as long as
Jason was fine. She then said, "That's really unfortunate for Luke, but since you're in the office, surely someone is taking care of
him in the hospital?" "Dr. Craw is taking care of him," Jason told her the truth.
"Dr. Craw? The one who showed up in the news with Luke?" Sue’s voice was raised a few pitches higher.
Jason nodded.
Sue continued, "You're a fool, Jason. How could you let them be together all alone? This is a scandal on a timer. You're so
careless. If anything happens between them, what about Bianca?"
Sue did not know Bianca all that well, but she still defended her.

"The boss man wanted it himself, Sue. I'm just following orders." Jason could understand why Sue was so nervous. After all, she
had a good relationship with Bianca before she lost her memory.
"You’re just following orders. That woman is so pretty, I don’t believe she doesn't have other intentions in mind..." Sue muttered.
Jason thought about it for a moment. If anyone were to have those kinds of intentions, then it would be Luke.
After all, Luca always seemed to avoid Luke every time Jason saw her around.
On the other hand, Luke had no intentions to avoid her. Instead, he wanted to get close to her... Otherwise, he would not have
made this arrangement.
Sue noticed Jason's silence and then told him, "You still have a week before you come home, right? You have to keep an eye on
her. Don't give her any chances. Understand?"
