Seeing her smiling happily, Lukas was furious: "You'd better keep your word. Okay, go back now; I'm going to
bed!"
After a while, Reese walked over, sat on the sofa beside his bed, took out her mobile phone, and said, "Go to
sleep then; I'll watch over here, and I'll leave when your fever subsides!"
Lukas's eyes scanned over her phone, wondering which wild man was sending her messages again!
He snorted lightly and said in an unhappy tone: "As you wish!"
After that, he turned over and laid down with his back facing Reese.
Initially, Lukas had no intention of sleeping. He wanted to wait until Reese left before sleeping.
As a result, after lying down for a bit, he fell asleep without knowing it because of the medicine he took.
When Lukas woke up the next day, he found Reese curled up on the sofa, her back leaning against the sofa with
her eyes closed, while holding an electronic thermometer in her hand.

At this moment, Lukas couldn't tell what he was feeling. He just stared at Reese, who was sleeping soundly, with
a complicated and gentle expression.
As soon as Reese opened her eyes, she saw Lukas staring at her.
She looked at him strangely for a moment and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
Lukas suddenly turned his head and looked out the window, looking a little awkward and flustered. "You're
thinking too much; | was just wondering why you were sleeping there!"
Reese stood up and stretched her waist, only to feel a severe pain in her neck: "I originally wanted to go back to
sleep, but when | took your temperature last night, it was still a bit high, so | waited for a bit and plan to take
your temperature for the last tbefore | go to bed. Who knew that | would actually fall asleep right away?
Lukas saw the tiredness on her face and felt a little uncomfortable: "You don't have to be so mindful; I just have a
fever; even if | am really sick, | just need to rest it for a few days; you don't have to bother yourself looking after
me!"
Reese frowned. She didn't understand why Lukas said that, but she insisted: "How can that be? You were hurt
because of me!"
Lukas frowned, his eyes darkening: "That's precisely what | meant. If you'll just take care ofbecause | got
hurt for you, then there's no need for that!"
When Lukas was done speaking, he got out of bed with a cold face, opened the door of the bathroom, and went
inside, leaving Reese alone.
Reese listened to the sound of water in the bathroom with a dazed expression, feeling puzzled. Did she do
something wrong again?
It's really hard to guess this man's thoughts!
Although Lukas seemed to not want to see her, thinking that his wound shouldn't be allowed to get wet, Reese
resigned herself to her fate and stood at the bathroom door and shouted, "Don't let your wound touch the water;
else, it'll get infected!"
Reese's voice was very loud, Lukas should have heard it.
But in the end, he didn't answer.
Reese stared at the bathroom door, her eyes flickered, she sighed helplessly, and turned to leave.

Reese went downstairs after washing up, only to find that Lukas had already gone out.
Thinking that he went out with his hand still injured, Reese was very worried. She called him, but in the end, no
one answered.
She could only call Martins at the moment: "Are you with Mr. Strakovski?" Martins answered patiently, "Miss
Roberts, Mr. Strakovski has to appease Molly's family today. He must be very busy investigating this case. | will
be with him now!" Reese pursed her lips. "Can | have a word with him for a moment?"
On the other side, Martins looked at Lukas and said slowly, with his lips barely opened, "Boss, Miss Roberts wants
to talk to you!"
Lukas replied in a deep voice; his tone sounded not good. "No time!"
Martins's tone was somewhat apologetic: "Miss Roberts, Boss is busy right now. Otherwise, wait until he has time
to talk about it!"
Reese pinched her ears irritably: "Okay, | understand; take good care of him; his hand is injured; you should
watch it so that he doesn't get hurt again!
