Chapter 1003 No Wonder He Doesn't Have a Girlfriend

Johann raised an eyebrow and looked at Lanie's handslittle face." Why would you want to stay here? I thought you hated hospitals."

Lanie glanced at his parents and said, "Daddy and Mommy want to visit Thea. I shouldn't go, in case I pass my germs to her."

Johann turned his head to look at Luke and Bianca. "Am I a babysitter too?" "Fifteen minutes," Luke negotiated with him with his glacial demeanor.

He meant that Johann would only have to take care of Lanie for fifteen minutes.

"That's too long. Ten minutes." Johann did not hate Lanie, but he felt uncomfortable looking at the boy's face. It reminded him too much of Luke.

He would try to avoid Luke whenever possible, and looking at a copy of Luke's face would give him a headache.

"Twenty minutes," Luke said with finality. He took Bianca's hand and left the room before Johann could say anything.

Johann pouted. "What a hard sell. I haven't even agreed to it."

Even so, he had no other choice but to take care of the boy.

He poured a glass of water and handed it to Lanie. "You should drink more water to replenish your fluids." "Thank you, Uncle Johann," Lanie said as he took the glass and gulped down its contents.

Then, Johann handed a book to him. "We don't know when your parents are coming back. I don't have any other books, so just read this. Be quiet, I have a report to write."

Lanie nodded. He looked at the cover and saw that it was a medical book.

Evidently, Johann did not care if he could comprehend it...

He glanced at Johann contemptuously. The man did not know how to care for a child, and it was no wonder that he did not have a girlfriend.

Lanie hopped off the bed, sat down on the couch, and began reading.

Johann smiled when he saw how Lanie sat there quietly and read. Lanie indeed looked like his father.

He returned to his chair and began to write his report.

Meanwhile, Luke brought Bianca to Thea's ward.

Louis was sitting next to the little girl, dabbing her dry lips with a cotton swab dipped in water. He stood up when he noticed his brother and sister- in-law entering the ward. "Bro, Sis, how is Lanie?" "He's fine," Bianca replied. Her heart wrenched when she saw the multiple tubes sticking out of the little girls’ body. "How about Thea? Has she woken up?" "She woke up earlier and cried in pain. The doctor gave her spainkillers, and she fell asleep again." Louis unfolded the foldable couch." Don't stand there. Cand have a seat."

Luke and Bianca sat down. Bianca looked around the ward but did not see Yuri or Susan, so she asked, "Why are you alone in the ward?" "Yuri and Mom went downstairs to buy sfood." Louis was worried about his daughter, so he volunteered to stay back to look after her.

Bianca sighed when she saw how haggard Louis looked after staying up for the entire night. "Maybe you should hire a caretaker. They're experienced in taking care of invalids."

Louis nodded. "I've already told the nurse about that. The caretaker will be here later. How is the investigation going back at home?" "All the antiques in the study were stolen. The thief was cunning enough to jam the signal of the security cameras, so the police haven't found anything yet," Bianca said.

Louis clenched his fists, and his expression sank. "I won't forgive that thief!"

Bianca had always seen Louis with a smile. He had never given her the impression that he had a temper.

Seeing Louis's gloomy expression, Bianca could tell that he was at his limit. After all, no parent was willing to see their child get hurt.

Bianca could empathize with Louis as she held Luke's hand tightly. As a parent, all they wanted to see was their children to grow up healthy and strong.

They stayed in the ward until Yuri and Susan returned with Louis's breakfast.

Back in Johann's office, Bianca saw that Lanie was sitting on the couch and reading a book with great interest. "What are you reading, Lanie?" She asked.

Lanie lifted his head and replied, "Uncle Johann's medical book."

Bianca was surprised. Not even most adults could understand medical books, so how would the little boy understand?

"What medical book is it?" Luke glanced at the book curiously. The page that Lanie was on happened to be a case study with color photos. It was only a photo, but it was quite bloody for a child.

Luke's expression sank instantly and grabbed the book from Lanie's hands.

"Don't look at that."

Lanie did not understand. He thought that the book was quite interesting, even though he did not understand most of the words. "Why not, Daddy?" "It's too gory. Children shouldn't read these kinds of books." Luke tossed the book on Johann’s desk and knocked over a pen holder.

Johann wailed. "Oh, my book! Can't you be a little more gentle to it?"

Luke glanced at him icily. "That gory book deserves to be burned."

Johann carefully picked the book up and gently dusted the cover. It took him a lot of connections to find that book, and it was one of his most prized belongings.

"I didn't expect that you'd find it gory," he mocked, knowing that Luke was not that squeamish.

It's not good for children." Luke glared at him.

Lanie got a fever because of the traumatic scene the night before. Luke did not want his son to be traumatized again by the gory pictures.

"Don't underestimate your son's mental fortitude. I thought he seemed quite interested," Johann said as he flashed a smile at Lanie, "Isn't that so, Lanie?" "I wasn't, Uncle Johann." Lanie looked at his father.

"Pah," Johann voiced his discontent. He handed Luke the bill and said," You can leave after you pay the bill."

Luke took the bill, shot a warning glance at Johann, and took Lanie's hand." Let's go home.” "Alright, Daddy." Lanie jumped off the couch and wore hisshoes.

"Sorry for the interruption, Doctor Johann." As Bianca was led out of the room, she turned around and apologized to Johann.

Johann shook his head and wagged his hand, indicating that he did not mind it.

After paying the bill, Luke drove the car back to Crawford Manor. When he stepped into the living room, he heard the technician from the security company say, "Right, just a little more. It'll be completely restored if we can fix this bit."

Luke removed his jacket and went over. "Can you restore the footage?"

The manager of the security company was very nervous when he saw Luke. "Yes, it can be restored," he replied courteously.

"It's taking too long." It had been six hours since the incident.

If the thief wanted to escape, they would have already left A City, which made it more troublesfor him to hunt for the thief.

The manager's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained, "It shouldn't have taken so long, but the signal jammer was placed too close to the cameras. I suspect that the jammer was placed somewhere in the mansion."
