After Luke put her things in the boot, he got into the car.


    He nced at Luca. She was silent as if deep in thought about something.


    Luke wondered if what he said before had scared her.


    However, Luca did not seem like the kind of person who would be scared easily. He asked, "What are


    you thinking about? You look worried."


    Luca shook her head, indicating that she was fine.


    Luke knew that she was full of worries but he had no way of knowing since she refused to share with


    him.


    Luke drove back to the apartment and did not stop the car even when he arrived at the gate of the


    community. He swiped his card and drove in.


    Luca looked at him but did not say anything about him sending her to her home.


    No one could stop Luke from doing what he wanted to do, including her former self. She had been long


    ustomed to his forcefulness.


    She watched him drive all the way there and park in the parking space.


    Luca thought about saying something. "Mr. Crawford, thanks for driving me back. I''ll go up by myself."


    "There''s a lot of stuff. I''ll bring them up for you." Luke did not give her a chance to turn him down and


    got out of the car immediately.


    Luca held the seat belt in both hands and turned around to look at the man walking toward the boot.


    Sure enough, she had no say once he had his mind set on something.


    She had no choice but to unbuckle her seat belt and go upstairs with him.


    There were not a lot of things. Luca looked at the bags that Luke was carrying and thought about


    helping. However, since he did not say anything, she knew that it was likely he would turn her down


    even if she asked.


    When the elevator reached her floor, she stepped out of the elevator and noticed that the door to the


    apartment was open.


    "Uh..." She nced back at the elevator door, and the floor disyed was correct.


    ‘Who opened the apartment door?''


    "Let''s go." Luke walked through the door.


    Luca followed behind him. When she walked inside, she realized that the person standing at the door


    was Mrs. Nancy, the chef of Crawford Manor.


    ''Why is she here?''


    When Mrs. Nancy saw Luca, she said, "Ms. Craw, congrattions on your discharge."


    "Thank you," Luca noticed that there was a pot next to the door. She looked at Luke with a puzzled


    expression and wondered what was going on.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Luke was not puzzled by what was in front of him. He just nodded and said, "Come on."


    Mrs. Nancy heard him and took out some sage from the bag behind her.


    "This is..." Before Luca finished speaking, Mrs. Nancy put the sage into a flower pot, took out the


    lighter, and lit it.


    She smiled and said, "Ms. Craw, step over the pot and your future will be smooth sailing. Come on


    now."


    Luca looked at Luke, and he was looking right back at her.


    It seemed that he knew about this. She was surprised that a free-thinker like him would ask Mrs. Nancy


    to prepare these...


    "This is too much. I''m just being discharged from hospital," Luca said. She remembered that she did


    not go through all these even when she was still Bianca.


    "Grandpa nned this," Luke exined. After Old Master Crawford heard that Luca was going to be


    discharged from the hospital, he asked Mrs. Nancy to bring these things over to smoke the bad luck on


    Luca away.


    Luca was stunned. ''Old Master Crawford...''


    Mrs. Nancy urged her, saying, "Ms. Craw, snap out of it and step over the pot. You''ll be safe and


    everything will be smooth sailing in the future."


    Luca looked at the burning sage and knew that she was unable to refuse Old Master Crawford''s


    kindness, so she stepped over.


    Mrs. Nancy then picked up a grapefruit leaf, dipped it in water, and patted the leaf on her body.


    She did not do it too hard, so it was not painful. Luca looked at Mrs. Nancy''s efforts and thought of Old


    Master Crawford again.


    She was surprised that he kept her in mind when all she did was remind him that one of the ingredients


    in the stew was not good for his health.


    Luca felt sad the more she thought of it.


    After all the steps werepleted, Mrs. Nancy said with a smile on her face, "Okay, okay, all the bad


    luck has been driven away now. Ms. Craw, wee home."


    "Thank you." Luca thanked her.


    Luke also walked in. He put the bags in his hand on the coffee table.


    Luca did not stop him froming in. Although he gave the house to her, the name on the property


    deed was still his.


    It was his house, so she did not have the right to stop him.


    Mrs. Nancy said, "Young Master Luke, Ms. Craw, I made some soup in the kitchen. Do you want to


    have some now?"


    Luke nced at the time. It was already noon.


    "Have you cooked lunch?" he asked.


    "I did. Not only did I make spaghetti and vegetables, but I also made chicken noodle soup. I thought


    that Ms. Craw might not be able to do much chewing, so I made her some chicken soup." Mrs. Nancy


    replied.


    "Let''s eat," Luke said and looked at Luca.


    Luca also looked at him. At this moment, he was standing in the middle of the living room like the head


    of the family.


    She wanted to run away but there was nowhere to run.


    Mrs. Nancy set the table for lunch. Luca was speechless as she looked at the dishes on the table.


    "Luca, let''s eat," Luke said as he looked at Luca who was standing not far away.


    Luca snapped out of it, walked over slowly, and sat across from him.


    Mrs. Nancy served Luke some spaghetti and then a bowl of chicken soup for Luca. She said, "Ms.


    Craw, the dishes I made today are soft and delicious. Eat more of them. You can swallow them without


    chewing.”


    Luca looked at the food on the table. The food served was indeed soft and delicious. It seemed that it


    was specially prepared for patients like her who could not chew much.


    Mrs. Nancy left after lunch was served.


    Only Luke and Luca were left in the apartment.


    Luca took a sip of chicken soup and heard Luke say, "I''m going to hire a maid for you."


    "No." She did not even think about it before turning him down. ‘Hire a maid? It took so much for me to


    shoo away the previous one.''


    "You''re injured." Luke''s tone was a little stern as if she was not allowed to refuse him.


    Luca shook her head and said, "I hurt my face, not my hands. And it''s not serious. I can take care of


    myself."


    Luke frowned seeing that she was being stubborn. If she was Luca, he would not be so insistent. Now


    that he knew she was Bianca, though, he did not want to let her suffer.


    "The most important thing for you right now is to rest." He insisted.


    Luca said, "Mr. Crawford, even if you get me a maid, I won''t be able to rest well. Please let me take


    care of myself. I''m not used to having someone around to take care of me. On top of that, the maid''s


    room is filled with things you haven''t moved from thest time. If a maides, where would she


    stay?"


    Luke was silent. Indeed, if he hired a maid, he had to remove his things out of the maid''s room. If that


    happened, there would be no excuse for him to stay the night.


    In desperation, he had no choice but to say, "Then I''ll hire a part-time worker to clean regrly."


    "Okay." Luca knew that he was insistent. Seeing that he had alreadypromised, she agreed readily.
