Luca agreed, and the topic ended.


    There was another round of silence at the dining table.


    Luca raised her gaze and sneaked a nce at Luke, who was holding a piece of meat that was soft


    and shredded after being cooked for a while. He was not frowning.


    In the past, he disliked soft foods as such. It was impossible that Mrs. Nancy did not know his


    preferences. It was likely that he ordered Mrs. Nancy to cook the food like this so that it was easy for


    her to chew.


    Luca looked at the soft dishes on the table and asked, "Mr. Crawford, I assume these meals are not to


    your taste..."


    Luke looked up, his eyes carrying an emotion that she could not understand. "You know my taste?"


    Luca was startled and quickly said, "These foods are too soft. I think your teeth are so good that you


    probably don''t like soft foods. Shall I cook a dish for you?"


    Luke listened to her concern. It was obvious that she paid a lot of attention to him but she deliberately


    kept a distance and even thought about how to escape from him.


    "No, I like it soft. I don''t like it hard." His words had a special meaning behind them.


    Luca was taken aback.


    ''He likes it soft and doesn''t like it hard... He''s someone who can''t be swayed.''


    Luca continued to eat. After she was done, she habitually stood up to clear the dishes. When she


    reached out to pick up the te, she saw Luke get up and take the te from her hand.


    "I''ll do it." He cleared the table.


    Luca watched him tidy everything up. Her hands were not injured but he treated her as if she was


    missing some limbs.


    Luca sighed.


    Luke heard her sigh and looked up. "Don''t think too much about it. I''ll take you to meet someone


    tomorrow morning."


    "Who?" Luca asked. She thought that it was someone who had nothing to do with work.


    She was in front of him and was not even allowed to do any housework, so how could it be rted to


    work?


    "Someone who needs your help," Luke said. He picked up all the dishes and headed to the kitchen.


    Luca looked at his back and thought, ''Can he do the dishes? Will he dry the dishes before putting them


    in the cupboard after washing them?''


    She was still worried. When she walked to the kitchen door, Luke seemed to sense her even though he


    did not turn around. "Don''t worry, I won''t mess up your kitchen."


    "I just want a ss of water..." Luca said. She did not expect that he would know about her worries.


    "The kitchen is small. Don''te in. I''ll pour a ss for youter," Luke said.


    In the past, others would pour water for him but now he offered to pour water for her. No matter how


    she thought of it, she felt like it was all an illusion.


    Luca sat on the sofa and listened to his movements in the kitchen.


    Luke was just cleaning and it was not like he had broken any dishes, so she did not hear much.


    Ten minutester, Luke walked out of the kitchen with a ss of warm water and handed it to her. "The


    water is warm. You can drink it now."


    Luca took it but did not drink it immediately. She ced it on the coffee table instead. She picked up


    the medicines Johann had prescribed her and divided them ording to the doctor''s order.


    Luke looked at the pills in her palm and asked, "Why so many pills?"


    Luca nced at the medicines, which were all nourishing medicines. It seemed that her hemoglobin


    was low before, which caused Johann to worry.


    "These are medicines for nourishing blood. I assume Dr. Park was worried about my poor physical


    indicators, so he prescribed these medicines," she exined. Although it was only because the


    previous physical indicators were affected by the drug from the Ind of Despair, these medicines were


    good for the body, so she did not mind taking them.


    Luke nodded. Bianca used to look weak but she was in great health. He was sure that she had suffered


    through hell seeing her current condition.


    ''If she did not suffer, how could her health have be so bad?''


    Luca did not frown at the bitterness of the pills. She just swallowed them and finished the ss of


    water.


    Luke watched her. After a few days of recuperation, her health was indeed much better now. When she


    was first hospitalized, he was so distressed that he could hardly breathe upon seeing how she was


    having problems drinking water.


    Luca finished drinking the water and stood up, wanting to put the ss away.


    Luke said, "I''ll do it for you."


    Luca was stunned. She handed him the ss of water and said, "Thank you."


    It was a harmonious situation as though the two were husband and wife. At this moment, the husband


    was taking care of his sick wife.


    Luke put the ss back in the kitchen. He looked at Luca''s sterilizer and his eyes flickered when he


    saw that there were still a few bottles in it.


    Thepany made all the researchers sign an agreement. Drugs that were part of thepany''s


    research were not allowed to leave thepany. These bottles must have nothing to do with the


    research she did in thepany.


    ''What are these? What has she experienced in the past three years?'' Luca saw Luke walk into the


    kitchen. When it was still dead quiet after a while, she got up and walked to the kitchen.


    She stood at the door and saw him holding a mobile phone as if he was on a call.

    Upon seeing this, Luca did not say anything.


    Luke saw her too. After he heard the reply on the phone, he said, "I''ll be right back."


    With that, he left the kitchen.


    "In the afternoon, a part-time worker wille to help with cleaning and grocery shopping. I''ll let Jason


    send you the part-time worker''s contactter. You can tell her what you want to eat via text. She''ll take


    care of you." Luke urged while putting on his coat.


    "Okay." Luca could feel his meticulous care for her but she had to remind herself not to be moved by


    his actions.


    Luke added, "I''lle to pick you up tomorrow morning. Rest early tonight."


    "Mm." Luca did not know where they were going but she would not turn him down as he mentioned it


    was to help someone.


    After Luke finished speaking, he opened the door of the apartment and left.


    Luca looked at the closed door as a feeling of mncholy slowly rose from her heart.


    ‘He''s so busy but he''s wasting time on me... Is it true that he''s interested in me?''


    When Luca thought about it, she immediately shook her head. Although she was Bianca, her identity


    was Luca.


    If Luke fell in love with her...


    She could not imagine that. She felt horrible but she did not know how to understand this hypothetical


    situation to make herself feel better.


    After a while, the phone rang.


    Luca picked it up and saw that it was Jason. He had sent the hourly worker''s contact to her.


    The hourly worker was hired by Jason, so it was not arranged by Luke himself. The hourly worker


    would likely not be sent to monitor her.


    As she thought about that, she added the contact. She then asked Jason: [Uh, did Mr. Crawford give


    you a hard time?]


    Jason replied immediately: [Not yet, but the boss wasn''t in thepany this morning. I don''t know if


    he''ll me him when hees backter.]


    [He won''t. Don''t worry.] Luca could feel Jason''s apprehension through the screen andforted him.
