Luca knew why she was in such a foul mood. Tia waited the entire afternoon to see Luke only to be


    informed that he had left thepany.


    Of course, she was angry.


    When she saw Tia lose her temper at the front desk receptionist, Luca did not want to provoke her and


    left directly.


    Tia saw Luca leave casually and threw the card back to the front desk receptionist. She quickly walked


    to Luca and said, "Dr. Craw, are you off work?"


    Luca looked at her provocative appearance and stopped walking. "Yes, it''s time to get off work."


    When that was mentioned, Tia was massively annoyed as she thought that Luca mentioned it on


    purpose.


    She waited in the reception room for the whole afternoon but was not able to see Luke. At that


    moment, she could not help but throw her temper at Luca. "I didn''t expect you to be so free that you


    can get off work on time."


    "Ipleted what I needed to do for the day. It shouldn''t be a problem for me to get off work on time.


    Ms. Tia, are you here because you have an appointment with Mr. Crawford?" Luca was a little impatient


    and did not want to pay attention to her but since Tia wanted to have a go at her, she deliberately said


    something to trigger her.


    When Luke was mentioned, Tia''s expression turned even more sour as she nced around.


    Due to her deliberately provocative behavior, many people were looking at her.


    "Yeah, I wanted to talk to Luke about something but I didn''t expect him to be so busy. He''s such a


    workaholic to the point that he has no time to take care of his personal affairs." Tia deliberately acted


    like she knew Luke very well to save her dignity.


    If it were not for what she had just seen in the office before this, Luca might have felt a little sad.


    However, she just thought that Tia was making a fool of herself now.


    Tia did all these to get Luke. She understood that.


    That was why she felt a little helpless, but she was not too upset about the situation.


    Tia went all out just so she could be Luke''s woman.


    However, Luke...


    Luca initially thought he had different intentions toward Tia, but after today, she knew that she had


    misunderstood him.


    In that case, his focus was still on her, or to be specific, on Bianca.


    On the one hand, Luca hoped that Luke could forget the past, start over, and live a good life with the


    children. On the other hand, she did not want him to forget her just like that.


    She looked at Tia, who was in front of her. She was a poor lovesick woman. Luca was not sure how far


    she would go for Luke.


    Luca had met a lot of people who were willing to give their all for Luke. They would not give up even if


    they hit a wall.


    "I''ll be leaving now." Luca did not uncover her lie and chose to walk out.


    Tia looked at Luca with jealousy in her eyes. Although Luca acted innocent with Luke, her instincts as a


    woman told her that Luca was a powerful opponent.


    Luca was even more powerful than Bianca, who was having a jolly time abroad.


    Luca knew that Tia was watching her but she did not look back and walked right out of T Corporation''s


    building.


    While she was waiting for her ride, she received a call from Queenie.


    "Luca, are you off work?" Queenie''s voice sounded tired and a little apprehensive.


    Luca guessed that Queenie was tired from taking care of Leia. After all, Leia was her adopted child for


    more than 20 years. Now that Leia was sick, Queenie could never bring herself to abandon Leia.


    Her apprehension could be because she felt bad for troubling Luca.


    "Mm, I just got off work. Aunt Queenie, are you okay? You sound a little tired," Luca asked, concerned.


    "It''s nothing, I''m just a little tired from standing." Queenie turned around and nced at the entrance of


    the ward. Leia was still tossing around in the ward, making a fuss and demanding to be discharged.


    However, it was not the best idea for her to be discharged due to her current condition...


    "By the way, Luca, you said that Leia''s condition can be treated with herbal medicine, right?"


    Luca stopped a taxi, got in the car, and replied, "Yes, it''s true that she can take herbal medicine to


    recover, but she would need to drink it every day and the concoction is quite bitter. It''s good for her


    body and can slow down the deterioration of her vital organs. I''ve alreadye up with the form. If


    Ms. Leia agrees to the treatment n, then I''ll send you the form tonight."


    When Queenie heard that the form could slow down the failure of Leia''s organs, she immediately


    agreed. "Nothing else matters as long as it''s good for her. Luca, thank you."


    "Aunt Queenie, don''t worry about it. How about this? I''ll send you the form when I get home. In the


    future, you can follow my form and prepare the concoction that Ms. Leia will have to take once a


    day. If she consistently takes it, she''ll see the effects soon enough," Luca said. She had an idea of the


    herbs that she could use when she first took Leia''s pulse. However, she had to be careful with the


    dosage, so that was why she had yet to send the form.


    However, if Leia''s situation could not be improved, it was not only her who would suffer but also


    Queenie.


    Luca was reluctant to let Queenie suffer.

    "Okay. Thank you, Luca. If she drinks that form, can Leia be discharged from the hospital?" Queenie


    asked. Leia, who was stuck in the ward, made a fuss about wanting to be discharged from the hospital


    every day.


    Her fragile nerves were close to a breakdown.


    "Yes. You can also show the form to the doctor to see if it needs to bebined with the medicine


    that she''s currently taking. If he thinks it needs to bebined, then she can take both. Apart from


    that, please help me keep this form secret," Luca said.


    Queenie knew that Luca liked keeping a low profile and hurriedly agreed.


    After Luca returned to her apartment, she bought some herbs at a nearby store and began to formte


    Leia''s medicine.


    She had read the examination report but it was not very helpful. When Luca was formting the


    concoction, she based it purely on her medical knowledge and intuition.


    Although Shanks was from the Ind of Despair, she had him to thank for the medical skills that she


    had.


    Luca looked at the concoction and hoped that the recipe Shanks had given her before would work.


    Queenie was soft-hearted and could not bear to see Leia suffer.


    Queenie''s life would get better only if Leia got better.


    After Luca sent the form to Queenie, she received a call from Luke.


    "Where are you?" The voice on the other end of the phone was hoarse and low. It seemed to carry a


    touch of tenderness as well.


    Luca listened and felt her heart beat faster.


    When she put the phone close to her ear and listened to this voice, she felt as if Luke was in her ear,


    talking to her softly.


    Luca replied subconsciously, "I''m in the apartment."


    Luke noticed that she referred to it as an apartment, not a home. In her mind, she had not considered


    that house a home.


    ‘If that''s not her home, where is it?''


    The DNA test results were not out but Luke already had a feeling that he could look forward to seeing


    them.


    "I sent a document to your mailbox. Please help me trante it. I need it by tomorrow morning,” Luke


    snapped out of it and said.


    "Ah, okay." Luca listened to hismanding tone and felt as though the gentleness just now was just a


    hallucination.
