There was no expression on Luke’s face as he listened to Tia trying to provoke him.


    He knew exactly what she was up to. He would never talk to such a woman in the past.


    Luke took a sip of coffee and changed the topic of the conversation. “Let me continue exining my


    mother’s condition.”


    Tia had already expected he would not say anything. After all, a man like him would never say it out


    even if he was dissatisfied. She was looking forward to how he was going to deal with Nina.


    She deliberately gave him a gentle smile and said, “Sure. Tell me more about your mother’s situation,


    including events of the past. I can only treat her better if I understand more about her.”


    Luke looked up. He was calm as usual despite the tenderness that she showed to him.


    He continued to talk about Allison.


    …


    Luca and Nina left the coffee shop after paying their bill.


    Nina was holding Luca’s hand, and she asked worriedly, “Luca, how are you feeling? Are you injured?”


    “I hurt my waist during the trip.” Since Nina already learned about it from Luke, Luca did not intend to


    hide it anymore.


    “Oh my, why are you so careless? How did you hurt it? Why aren’t you getting some rest? You’re still


    running around after getting hurt. How dare you!” Nina blocked her. Although Luca did not look like she


    was feeling ufortable, anyone could pretend and act.


    Just like her. Although she was feeling extremely upset, she had to pretend nothing had happened to


    her in front of others.


    Luca smiled and said after she listened to Nina babbling with concern, “I’m alright. It’s just a minor


    injury. The doctor gave me ointment and medicine. I’ll be fine.”


    “It takes a long time for our bones and muscles to heal. No way, let me send you home.” Nina could not


    be bothered about anything else anymore, even giving up the thought of asking Luca to go for a facial


    treatment. She held Luca’s hand and they walked toward the parking lot.


    Luca did not resist, and she followed Nina submissively while being dragged along by her.


    Nina said, “Oh, you mentioned that you came back from the trip early. Did youe back together with


    Luke?”


    “Yes, it’s something rted to Mr. Crawford,” said Luca. She considered that Allison’s condition would


    be exposed to the public after she got out of jail, so she would not try to hide it.


    Moreover, Nina was not a gossipy person. Even if she was curious, she would only be curious about


    the people she was familiar with.


    “His matter? Why did he drag you along, then? Did he not know that you’re hurt?” Nina muttered as


    she recalled him being on a date with Tia in that private room. She was defending Bianca in her heart.


    “You’re helping him to do things while he’s busy dating.”


    Luca felt ufortable when she saw Luke and Tia were together in a private room. However, looking


    at it from a different perspective, they were probably not on a date at all.


    Luke went looking for Tia most likely because of Allison.


    Thewyer had told him about Allison’s mental condition. Indeed, she needed a psychologist.


    Sometimes, treating psychological trauma was much more difficult than treating physical wounds.


    “Mr. Crawford is probably busy.” Luca defended him.


    Both of them entered the parking lot. Nina found her car, opened the car door, and got in. “Forget it. He


    has nothing to be busy with. Oh, what did he ask you for help with?”


    Luca told her about Allison’s matter.


    Nina was surprised. “I didn’t expect that she would end up like that…”


    Luca secretly agreed to what she said. It was true. Allison had always valued her face, but now, half of


    her face was disfigured.


    “As humans, we should never do evil things. Look at her, karma is getting her back now,” said Nina.


    She recalled how vain and extravagant Allison was back then. She kept exploiting Luke and shut


    Bianca out for her own interests.


    As a bystander, she felt disgusted just looking at Allison’s face.


    Luca let out a sigh and said, “I don’t know whether it’s karma or not. But I know she can never get her


    face back.”


    Nina started the car engine and drove in the apartment’s direction. “ording to what you said, if


    getting stic surgery can’t help her, what else can she do? Oh, don’t put too much effort into Allison’s


    matter. She’ll never thank you for helping her.”


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Luca knew she Nina only said that because she was afraid she might end up getting the short end of


    the stick. She thought that Luca had no idea what kind of person Allison was.


    However, it had been so many years. Luca knew very well what kind of person Allison was.


    She replied, “Alright. I got it.”


    Nina dropped her off when they reached the apartment. She said, “You’re hurt, so stop messing about.


    Hurry up and go home to get some rest.”


    “Alright. Drive safe.” Luca smiled at her, then she turned around and returned to the apartment.


    She answered Queenie’s call when she was in the elevator.


    “Luca, how are you doing these days?” Queenie’s voice was still gentle as usual. She sounded more


    energetic at the same time. Her body had almost recovered after taking the medicine she gave her.


    “I’m fine, Aunt Queenie. Are you feeling better already?” Luca listened to her gentle voice and thought


    of how much she missed her.


    Queenie had been taking the medicine she gave to recuperate her body. There were not many


    changes to the medicine, so she would ask Queenie to just get the medicine at the pharmacy based on


    her prescription. She did not visit her that often.


    Queenie was her biological mother. If it were not for her current identity, which made it inappropriate for


    her to visit her, she would have certainly visited her more often.


    “Thanks to you, my body is feeling much better now with the prescription you gave me. I went to the


    hospital for a blood test and the results were out. The health indicators all reached a normal level.


    Luca, you’re my savior!” Queenie eximed.


    Not only did Luca save her life but she also saved Jack’s career. She was their family’s lucky star.


    That’s great, I’m so happy to hear that. Aunt Queenie, is there anything you’d like to tell me?” Luca


    asked.


    Queenie was not the kind of person who woulde looking for her just to ask for something. She


    would send her messages on Instagram out of concern and care for her. However, she seldom called


    her as she knew Luca was busy with her work.


    “Yes. The thing is, I have a friend who’s not feeling well, so I was thinking of asking you for help. I want


    you to see if there’s any way to recover her health…” Queenie said gently.


    “A friend?” Luca walked out of the elevator when it had reached the floor.


    “Yes, she’s a good friend of mine. But my friend’s health is in a terrible state. Can you take a look at


    her?” Queenie had no choice left, so she thought of Luca.


    Jack had disagreed. It was because Luca had always refused to let others know that she treated her.


    She did not want to get into trouble.


    However, Queenie was left with no other choice this time.


    “Alright. Can I go over tomorrow if you’re not in a hurry? I’m feeling a little tired today,” Luca replied.


    Although she had taken painkillers, her waist still ached a little.
