"Alright, Dr. Craw. I'll go grab a meal first.” After Rhett left, Luca was the only one left in the laboratory.

[Dr. Park, if I go, Mrs. Norman's situation might worsen.] Luca had no choice but to confess when Johann was persistently trying to persuade her.

She figured Johann probably had not paid much attention to these kinds of gossip news.

Therefore, he did not know that Queenie ended up in the hospital due to her rumored relationship with Luke, which was also what triggered her high blood pressure.

After a while, Johann pretended that he had only realized it and replied to her: [So it's about that...]

Luca let out a sigh, not because it dawned on Johann later but because of her own helplessness.

She wanted to personally treat Queenie, but could she?

She did not even have the courage to show herself in front of Queenie now.

[If we let Dr. Wood or the head of the naturopathy department perform dry needling on Mrs. Norman, the results might be limited. After all, their knowledge differs significantly from yours. How about this? I'll observe the patient's condition first.]

Johann responded without continuing to persuade her when Luca expressed her concerns.

After sending the message, he took a screenshot of the chat and sent it to Luke.

[I've done what you asked.]

Luke replied: [Wait until tomorrow, then talk to Luca again.] Luca was not willing to talk, and everything needed to proceed slowly.

Johann replied: [Alright, remember to treat me to a meal once it's done.]

Luca did not know that Luke had sought Johann's help. As she looked at Johann's messages, she felt uneasy in her heart.

Queenie was not doing well, and her affair with Luke had caused her a lot of stress.

Luca rose to her feet. When she was about to return to her office, she received another message from Johann.
