After that, the doctor turned and went back into the operating room.
Linda stood there in shock, her mind blank. Lina caught her just before she collapsed.
Luke was transferted to a VIP room, but he hadn't woken up yet.
"Don't worry," Linasald gently, sitting on a small couch to comfort Linda. "Even though the doctors here can't guarantee a full recovery, the medical advancements abroad are more promising "Do you remember how severe your injuries were after the fire? Yet, you healed perfectly. You have to trust that Lake will pull through, too
William added, "Linda, there's no need to worry. I've already had my
yassistant reach out to that specialist the doctor mentioned. If Luke's recovery doesn't go as planned, I'll do everything I can to bring that doctor here to save his arm."
In fact, William had a lot of respect for Luke for venturing into the remote factory alone and rescuing Linda despite being badly injured.
"Thank you." Linda nodded, curling up in Lina's arms.NôvelDrama.Org content.
It wasn't until later that evening that Luke slowly regained consciousness.
"Linda!" he gasped as if waking from a nightmare, calling out for Linda
Linda rushed to his side. "I'm bere. Don't move."
When Luke saw her, relief washed over him, "I'm glad you're okay."
"why did you come alone? That was so reckless."
Luke's lips were dry and cracked, and as he tried to smile, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Bringing more people could've spooked them. I was afraid if they panicked, they'd hurt you. If something had happened to you. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself - Linda took a water-dipped cotton swab from Lina and gently dabbed at Luke's lips.
"They only wanted money, not my life," she said quietly, her movements tender.
""Well, I couldn't think straight at that time,"
Then, they spoke in unison, "Your hand.."
Their words trailed off, and they exchanged a briel smile
"My hand's fine, it's just a fracture. But your shoulder might be more complicated."
Linda didn't want to worry him too much, so she kept her tone light. As a jewelry designer, Luke's hands were his livelihood, and she knew how important they were to him.
But Luke seemed to have already made peace with the situation. "It's okay. You don't owe me anything. Saving you was my choice
He lifted his uninjured hand and took Linda's in his,
"Il worse comes to worst, I'll just go abroad for treatment. The world's huge, so there's got to be somewhere that can fix me up
"And if not, well, losing an arm wouldn't be the end of the world. I've always thought having one arm looked kind of cool, anyway."
Luke's light-hearted tone was meant to case Linda's mind. He didn't want her to feel burdened by guilt, knowing that guilt wasn't a healthy bath for any relationship. He wasn't looking t trap her with that kind of debt
