"Don't worry about me. I'm familiar with this place. Rest well." Nina tucked her in and placed her phone on the bedside. "If you need anything, give me a call. I'll be outside. I'm leaving the phone right beside the bed, so you can reach it easily."

"Thank you." Luca closed her eyes. Her hands under the blanket remained clenched.

Nina shook her head in helplessness when she saw how weak Luca was, wondering what had happened to make her like this.

If Luca had not assured her that she was physically fine, Nina would have probably called an ambulance for her by now.

Nina noticed that Luca had closed her eyes, so she turned and walked out of the bedroom. She closed the door behind her.

She went to the guest room, glanced at the missing toiletries, then headed downstairs to the storage room to find some new ones.

Before she could enter the storage room, she heard footsteps behind her.

Nina turned around and saw that Luke was back. She furrowed her brows, feeling a bit annoyed.

She was annoyed that Luke came back so late. When she thought about Luca's situation earlier, she was about to voice her complaint. However, she suddenly hesitated.

Why was she blaming Luke? Was it just because he was with Luca now? Was it because he had not taken good care of Luca and that was why she was all up in her feelings?

Nina found her thoughts rather peculiar.

After all, she also believed that Luke was having an affair.

Normally, when a guy cheated, Nina would not really have too many thoughts about whether he was treating the other woman well or not.

However, perhaps it was because of Percy's influence, she did not see Luca as a mistress. Thus, she thought it was wrong for Luke not to take care of her.

Still, Bianca was still abroad, and she was Luke's rightful wife!

Nina could not understand her conflicting thoughts.

Luke saw the strange expression on Nina's face and remained silent. He knew why she was there, yet he asked, “Why are you here?”

Luke knew exactly why Nina was here. Luca had to go to the hospital, but she was worried that no one would be here to look after the children, which was why Nina came.
