When Luca turned away, her hair gently swayed in the direction of her movement. Luke caught a whiff
of her shampoo.
His heart skipped a beat as he took in the slight fragrance. As far as he remembered, Bianca did not
use perfume, and the smell of her shampoo blended naturally with the fragrance of her body.
Luca stepped out of the car and turned around to look at Luke, who was still sitting in the car.
"Mr. Crawford?" She called out gently.
Luke came to his senses and stepped out of the car.
They went into Tommy''s room one after another. Tommy had stopped crying when he knew that Luca
wasing, but his eyes remained puffy and bloodshot.
"Daddy, Ms. Luca..." His voice was soft and shrill, as though he had a lot of grievances.
Luca could empathize with Tommy. A fever was an ufortable experience, and it was normal for
Tommy to be unhappy about it.
"Tommy, are you hungry?" Luca went to the bedside and asked.
Old Master Crawford had already gone home, so she did not feel restricted. She smiled gently, hoping
that the child would see her smile and feel better after that.
Tommy shook his head and said cloyingly, "I''m not hungry, Ms. Luca."
"You haven''t had dinner. You should be hungry by now," Luca said as she ced the sk on the
bedside cab.
Tommy pouted. "I have a fever, Ms. Luca, and I have no appetite now. I only want you to apany
me."
Luca knew that Tommy was not lying. Usually, children would not have the appetite to eat whenever
they fell ill, but they had to eat so that they could recover quicker.
She removed the lid from the sk to let the fragrance of the chicken soup fill the room. "Are you sure
you''re not hungry? That''s a pity, I thought I''d make some chicken soup for you."
Tommy''s eyes widened slightly when he smelled the chicken sup.
Luca continued to coax him, "I made this before I came here. Won''t you eat some? I can feed you if
you like." >
The fragrance of the chicken soup was bing more and more intense, and Tommy nodded eagerly.
Luca filled up a bowl with chicken soup and used a spoon to feed him.
The caretaker was not nning on bothering Luca, but she had no other choice. Tommy''s voice had
gone hoarse from crying, and the caretaker was afraid that Luke would reprimand her.
After all, it was her job to take care of Tommy.
The caretaker cleaned her hands with a wet towel. "Allow me to do it, Ms. Luca. I can''t possibly let you
do it."
Luca shook her head, and she brought another spoonful of soup close to Tommy''s mouth. "It''s okay. I
can do it."
She could see that Tommy was willing to eat not only because the soup smelled good, but also
because she was the one feeding him.
It was normal for children to cling to their mothers whenever they were sick. Even though Luca''s face
waspletely different now, there was still a special bond between them that could not be replicated
by anyone else.
The caretaker was surprised to see that Tommy was willing to eat. Tommy was fond of eating snacks,
and he was very picky about his meals. If she made chicken soup for dinner, Tommy would usually only
eat a bowl. This time, Tommy ate two bowls of Luca''s chicken soup.
Moreover, Tommy was supposed to have no appetite when he was sick...
The caretaker cleaned up after Tommy was done eating. The chicken soup in the sk had already
cooled down, but she could still smell the fragrance. She could not help but ask, "Ms. Craw, did you
use any special ingredients in the chicken soup? It smells so nice, and Master Tommy loves it."
"No, I only use the usual ingredients," Luca said truthfully. She did not use anything out of the ordinary,
but she had used extra care when cooking.
The caretaker was even more surprised to hear that. She kneaded her hands and said, "Can I get the
recipe from you? Master Tommy doesn''t like eating chicken soup at home. I hope to use your recipe so
that he''ll eat more."
"Of course." Luca generously shared the chicken soup recipe with the caretaker. She also wished that
Tommy would eat more and grow up healthily.
Luke was sitting on the couch, observing Luca give her chicken soup recipe while the caretaker
recorded it down.
It was as though Luca was the matriarch of the household...
Luca did not immediately leave after she managed to coax Tommy to take his medicine. She knew that
Tommy would want to be with her, and she nned to leave after Tommy fell asleep.
Luke remained seated on the couch. With Luca around, Tommy did not ask for him, so he had nothing
to do.
Tommy patted the space next to him with his hand and said, "Come and sit here, Ms. Luca. Let''s watch
some cartoons together."
Luca looked at the time and realized that Tommy''s favorite cartoon was airing soon. On other days,
Tommy would usually watch the cartoon, make a video call with her, then go to bed.
She nodded and sat down next to him.
The caretaker turned on the television and switched to the children''s channel. The cartoon had just
started.
Tommy grinned happily. He noticed that Luke was sitting on the couch quietly.
Suddenly, he felt sorry for his father. Luca was apanying Tommy, but Luke was sitting alone on
the couch.
He patted the space on the other side and said, "Come over here, Daddy. Let''s watch the cartoon
together!"
Usually, Luke would find the cartoon boring. However, he understood that Tommy wanted thepany,
so he sat down next to Tommy.
Tommy looked at him and grinned.
The three people watched the cartoon together. It was a harmonious and heart-warming scene.
Johann was slightly shocked when he came into the room and saw that scene. He nearly thought that
they were a family.
He could not help but tease them, "You all are sitting there like that. Anyone could have mistaken that
you three are a family."
Luke remained unperturbed. "Yes?" He said calmly.
"I''m not on duty tonight, so I''m here to check on Tommy''s condition before I leave," Johann said as he
studied the temperature records.
Luke frowned. "What if Tommy''s temperature goes up again after you''ve gone home?"
"I''ve already told Dr. ke about Tommy, and he''ll be on duty tonight. Don''t worry. Tommy is in good
hands." Johann saw some slight fluctuations in Tommy’s body temperature, but they were not too
serious, i
"He?" Luke frowned harder after knowing that the head physician of internal medicine would be
attending to Tommy. From the earlier incident, he thought that Dr. ke was useless.
