Although Queenie’s matter was urgent, it was not that urgent to the extent that it must be done tonight.
When she heard Luca promise to help, she replied immediately, “Alright. Then I’ll ask my driver to pick
you up tomorrow.”
“It’s alright. I can go myself. Aunt Queenie, I have something to do. I’ve got to go.” She needed help, so
of course, Luca would go to her house. Luca did not want her to go back and forth, so she nned to
go by herself.
“Sure, off you go.” Queenie was relieved.
After Luca hung up the phone, she pressed the password lock and entered the house. She saw the
luggage that had not been packed away. She got down and opened it before bringing out theptop.
She carried theptop and curled up on the couch. Then, she opened a software.
It was the hacker software installed by Amur. This made it easy for her to intrude into systems. Luca
connected it to the inte and hacked into A City’s immigration system.
The reason she did that was to check whether the person Queenie wanted her to help was Leia.
Although Luke had banned Leia from returning to the country, he was too busy to care about this these
days. Leia had probably returned to the country.
There was nothing after she did the initial search on the system.

Luca thought Leia dared not to return.
She thought for a while and searched Leia’s family name. There were a few names that appeared on
the system after a while. She clicked on each of them, and the second one was Leia’s details.
She had been staying in New York for a while. She took the opportunity to get a new identity there. This
time, she used her new identity toe back here.
That was why Luke did not notice her.
The person Queenie told her about was Leia… Luca already knew, so she did not have to wait until
tomorrow to confirm it.
What problems could Leia have? Luca frowned as she could not figure it out, so she decided not to
think about it anymore.
Luca walked into the bedroom andy down on the bed. She fell asleep as her thoughts ran wild in her
mind.
Night fell quickly in A City as it was about to be winter.
It was dark outside when Luca opened her eyes again. She heard the doorbell ringing, then she sat up
and nced at the window. She had been asleep for quite some time.
The doorbell was still ringing. She got out of the bed and trotted quickly to the door.
She peeped through the peephole to check the situation outside. It was Luke who was standing outside
the door.
Why was he here?
Luca was confused as she pushed the door open. “Mr. Crawford, why are you here?”
Luke did not intend to step forward. He stood at the door’s entrance and handed the bag he was
carrying to her. “I bought you dinner. Why did it take so long for you to open the door?”
Luca looked at the bag he was carrying in his hands. She recognized that it was the packaging of the
restaurant near her apartment.
She took it from him and exined, “I fell asleep just now. Thank you, Mr. Crawford.”
Luke looked at her slightly messy hair. He suddenly thought of the day she nearly drowned in the
mountain vi. He found the air a little dry and hot all of a sudden.
He kept his hands in his pockets and started breathing to regte his difort. He said, “Don’t cook
in the next few days. Enjoy your meal. I’m leaving.”
“Mr. Crawford, have you eaten?” Luca blurted out her concern for him. She immediately lowered her
head with regret after saying that.
She should not have expressed her concern…
Luke was no fool. He could even read a woman’s mind.
He knew exactly who had a crush on him and who had different thoughts about him in their minds.
However, he would choose to ignore most of them…
Except Tia…
Tia’s admiration for him had already reached the extent that she was no longer concealing her feelings
for him, but Luke did not ignore her. Instead…
Luca recalled the scene of him being together with Tia in the coffee shop. She felt sick in her heart.
It was just that, she had no right to feel sick about it…
“I’ve eaten.” Luke shot her a nce. The way she was looking down was like she had just done
something shameful.
He remembered what had happened during noontime today. He was thinking if he should say
something about it. Atst, he reminded her, “Don’t wander about. You’re injured.”
After a reminder from him, her heart could no longer calm down.
“Alright. I got it. Thank you, Mr. Crawford.” Luca thought it might be unwise to ask about what had
happened today.
She let out a sigh of relief as she watched Luke turn around and left. Then, she closed the door.
Luca opened the takeaway container and looked at the dishes inside. They were all the ones she had
eaten with Luke and Tommy. They were the ones she thought were good.
She did not order anything that time. It was Luke who ordered the food, but there were a few good
ones among them. Hence, she ate extra mouthfuls of them.
She did not expect Luke to notice that and ordered food for her this time ording to that time.
Was it a coincidence?
Luca ate a mouthful of white bread. She wondered if she should tell Luke that Leia had returned…
She pondered for a while and decided not to tell him about it. It would be difficult for her to exin if
she told him.
No matter how good Leia was at hiding, Luke would know about it eventually.
Luca ate her dinner after she decided that. She then took the medicine and cleaned herself up. Lastly,
she applied the ointment andy down on the bed. She put her phone down and fell asleep after
sending Amur a text message.
The next day.
She woke up early. There were some eggs left in the fridge before she went on the trip. She fried two
eggs for breakfast. After having breakfast, she went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed to the
Norman family’s house.
It was still early when she reached.
Luca ran into Jack, who was ready to go to work when she got out of the car. When he saw Luca, he
came over and said, “Dr. Craw, why are you so early? Thank you foring here.”
He knew Queenie had called Luca toe here.
Before this, he was in disagreement with her ns. If Queenie had not gone on a hunger strike to
protest, he would never have agreed with it.
The husband and wife did not expect Leia toe back all of a sudden. She was a troublemaker. Jack
was thinking of sending her back to New York, but N imed that she was sick and pointed to her
pale face.
He onlypromised after Queenie cried. After all, he could not bear to see her like that. He let N
stay with them temporarily and was keeping it a secret. He did not let Luke know about it.
Even so, Luke would eventually find out about it even if he did not know now.
Leia would be sent back by him the moment he found out. They would only have to silently ept it
when the time came.
It was not because Jack was heartless but it was for Queenie’s sake. Leia was the one who made her
suffer all these years. However, once she restored her health, she would forget about everything.
As for the daughter who drugged her foster mother, no matter how close they were as father and
daughter, Jack could never ept it.
Luca shook her head. “It’s nothing. Aunt Queenie can have peace of mind if Ie earlier to treat the
patient.”
Indeed, Queenie was worried about Leia. If it were not because she was asking a favor from Luca, she
would have asked Luca toe here immediately.
She had tossed and turned in bed but she could not even sleep.
Jack looked at Luca in admiration. How could two people who were the same age be so different? One
was sensible and thoughtful, while the other was such a ridiculous person. If he had the chance to
choose between them, he would wish that Luca was their daughter instead.
