Johann glanced at Luca, understood the situation, and said, "Don't worry. As doctors, we'll protect the privacy of patients. The privacy measures requested by the patient's family will be adhered to strictly."
Luca listened to his serious tone but knew that what he just said could not be trusted. After all, he reported everything to Luke.
However, Johann's medical skills and ethics could still be trusted.
Luca glanced at the time and felt that it was almost time. She pulled the needles from Leia's body, then carefully sterilized them and put them back into her kit.
When she was done, she helped Leia button up her clothes so that she would not be embarrassed when she woke up.
"When will she wake up?" Johann asked.
The ER doctor thought she was asking him, so he quickly replied, "Her situation is a little serious, so it's hard to say. The earliest will be around half a day."
Luca shook her head and said, "It won't take that long. She'll wake up within half an hour."
The ER doctor was shocked and responded, "Are you sure?"
Luca saw the disinfectant hanging on the wall, walked over, and squeezed out some. She washed her hands and said, "I'm sure. Her indicators have stabilized now and her situation is not too critical. After dry needling, she'll wake up soon."
The ER doctor nodded. Indeed, the equipment showed that Leia was getting better.
After Luca washed her hands, she glanced at the instrument and said, "If it's possible, she should be hospitalized now so that her condition can stabilize. After that, you can approve her discharge from the hospital."
Seeing that Leia's condition had improved, the ER doctor nodded and went out to arrange for her to be hospitalized.
Johann sighed and said, "Dr. Craw, you've surprised me once again. You made her feel better just by using a few needles."
"Unfortunately, I can't cure her." There was some frustration in Luca's tone.
She was not upset because she could not cure Leia but because Queenie was the one who was affected when Leia's health was poor.
Luca wanted to protect Queenie but she could not heal Leia...
"At the current stage, there's no way to cure her. Even if she goes for an organ transplant in the future, she would still have to take anti-rejection drugs for life. It's good enough that she can stay alive," Johann said.
Luca nodded. That was true. She considered it a win that Leia was alive.
She relapsed and her condition got worse but it was not the worst it could get...
"She still needs to take my concoction to condition her body. It may be because she took too much of the other doctor's medicine, so her body became desensitized to the ingredients,” Luca said.
"I agree," Johann nodded.
Luca picked up the phone, wrote a prescription, and sent it to Johann via text. "I remember that the hospital has a decoction service, right? Get someone to prepare this prescription. When she wakes up, she can drink it."
"I'll do it now." The hospital had more than enough herbs. On top of that, the herbs that Luca listed were not hard to find, so he made the necessary arrangements immediately.
Luca glanced at the time. Almost two hours had passed since she arrived, waited for Leia's first aid to end, and then treated her.
She thought of Luke. Two hours had passed. Was he still waiting for her in the parking lot?
Luca could not bear to keep him waiting for too long, so she said, "Dr. Park, Leia's situation should be stable now. If all is well, I think..."
"You want to leave, don't you?" Johann responded. "Go ahead. Luke's still waiting for you in the underground parking lot. Don't make him wait too long. You know that he doesn't have much patience."
Luca was stunned that Johann knew that Luke was in the underground parking lot.
Luke did not have much patience when it came to waiting for others, other than when he waited for her former self...
"Don't look at me like that. After you called me, I told Luke about it. You know that I'll tell him anything about the Norman family," Johann explained.
Luca understood what he meant. She nodded and glanced at Leia. Fortunately, she had not woken up yet. If she woke up and found out that Luke had learned of her return to A City, she would be terrified. If Leia received a scare in her current state, she would most definitely fall into a coma.
"I'll leave her to you. I'll head off now," Luca said.
"Mm." Johann frowned after he glanced at Leia, who was on the hospital bed.
As a doctor, it was his duty to save patients but he was a little unwilling to take care of such an annoying patient.
After all, she made such a fuss and refused to take her medicine. All the efforts of the medical staff, as well as the medical equipment they used when examining and treating her, were wasted.
He touched his chin and wondered in his heart how one could be so troublesome.
Just as Luca walked out of the emergency room, Queenie immediately stood up and stepped forward. She looked nervous as she asked, "Luca, the doctor came out just now and said he was going to hospitalize Leia. What happened?"
Luca immediately reassured her, saying, "Ms. Norman's condition is much better now but she has to be hospitalized because of the onset of the illness. She'll be able to leave the hospital after the drug has taken effect and all her indicators have reached normal levels."
When Queenie heard that Leia was doing much better, she breathed a sigh of relief and followed after her. "I'm glad to hear that."
"Aunt Queenie, she's okay for the time being but you still have to take good care of her. I've written another prescription based on her current condition. She can't be stubborn and stop taking the medicine anymore." Luca reminded her. Although she did not like Leia, as a health care personnel, she did not want her efforts to be wasted.
The set of needles in her hand was custom-made for her by Shanks. It was designed according to her fingers so that when she worked with the needles, she would have the best hand feel.
"Don't worry. I'll watch her take her medicine this time!" Queenie assured her.
Luca nodded and replied, "I've already handed the prescription to Dr. Park. I still have something to do, so I have to leave first. If anything happens, just call me."
"Luca..." Queenie looked at her face.
Luca nodded. "Anything else?"
"Is your face feeling better?" Queenie asked. She knew that Luca was injured. After all, the police's announcement and the news of the incident had caused a bit of a stir.
How could she not know?
However, she did not choose to visit her because she thought of Bianca.
The police stated that the reason why the kidnappers targeted Luca was to threaten Luke to give up the project, which meant that she was very important to Luke.
Everything was different from what Luke had promised.
Luca being by his side made her a lot more suspicious.
