Chapter 2632 Stay With Me A Little Longer

Next morning.

Luca woke up in Luke's arms. The moment she opened her eyes, Luke's phone rang.

"Um, Luke, your phone." Luca rubbed her head.

After they had supper last night, the kids were already in bed when they reached home. Luke decided to take out a bottle of red wine and drank a few glasses alone. Then, he used being drunk as an excuse to hold Luca in his arms and made love with her into the night.

It was already daylight when he opened his eyes again.

Luke picked up his incessantly buzzing phone. He glanced at the phone screen to see who was calling. Then, he turned on the speaker and placed it beside his pillow, only then did he answer the call. "Yes?"

"Good morning, Mr. Crawford. I'm the police officer on duty. My badge number is XXXXXXXX. I'm sorry to disturb you early in the morning." There came a man's voice from the other end of the call.

Luke turned around and held Luca's soft body in his arms. He buried his face in Luca's hair. "What's the matter?"

"Are you able to reach Ms. Craw?" The police officer asked.

Luca was a little surprised, but she could feel Luke's hands touching her body. She pushed Luke away with her left hand and met his eyes. She mouthed the words and asked him what was going on.

Luke understood what she was talking about. He bent down, lowered his head, and planted a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Mr. Crawford?" The police officer had no choice but to continue to ask when he was met with silence.

"Just tell me what you want." Luke was running out of patience. He had been woken up early in the morning, and he would like to spend some time alone with Luca, but the police officer was ruining his plans.

"Earlier, the chief of police contacted you. The suspect who held Ms. Craw hostage said that he was in pain. Now that he is in the custodial ward. The doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with him after examining him. But he couldn't stand the pain. We heard that Ms. Craw has some medical knowledge. So, we'd like to contact her and ask if she has the time to come here and see what's wrong with him," The police officer chose his words carefully as he explained.
