Daughters tended to look like their fathers, while sons tended to look like their mothers. This statement


    proved to be true for Lanie and Rainie. It was the same for both Tommy and N.


    The more Tommy grew up, the more he looked like Luca''s past self. As for N, she was starting to


    look like Luke.


    Fortunately, she did not have a family on the Ind of Despair.


    Hence, since young, N never had an impression of her father and never questioned who her father


    was.


    Luca turned around. The issue about her wound had been settled. Initially, she could sleep well, but


    because she missed her daughter so much, she was unable to sleep...


    She kept thinking and finally sat up. She took out the sleeping pills from the drawer, and after taking


    one pill, she went to sleep.


    The effect of the medication kicked in fast. Despite feeling depressed, she still fell asleep.


    When she woke up, it was already daytime.


    Luca looked at the time. She was used to waking up early even without an rm. After all, she had


    woken up early in the past two days.


    After getting out of bed and brushing her teeth, she wore a winter coat.


    Then, she dragged her luggage and carried her backpack down.


    The maid was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. After Luca ced her things beside the sofa, she


    walked into the kitchen. "Good morning."


    The maid knew that she would be going on a business trip with Luke on that day. She then said with a


    smile, "Good morning, Ms. Craw. Did you have a good night''s sleepst night?"


    Last night, after she took the pill, she fell asleep and had a very long dream. As for the contents of the


    dream, she had already forgotten.


    Luca nodded. "Not too bad. Come, let me take over from here."


    "I think it''s best if I do it. Aren''t you supposed to go on a business trip with Mr. Crawford? It won''t be


    good if you end up smelling like you''re covered in smoke and oil. You should go out. Breakfast will be


    done in a while," said the maid. Knowing that both of them were going on a business trip, the maid


    came to work an hour earlier than usual.


    Breakfast was almost ready.

    Luke got up as well and opened the door of the maid''s room. He overheard the conversation between


    Luca and the maid. He said, "Come here, Luca."


    Luca heard it and entered the room. "Good morning, Mr. Crawford."


    "Good morning." Luke lifted his head slightly and observed her expression. She seemed to look much


    better than yesterday. ''Is it because she had enough rest?''


    "I need to brush my teeth. Please help me out," he said.


    "Alright." Luca pushed the wheelchair into the bathroom. Then, she filled the bathtub with warm water


    for him to bathe.


    With her help, Luke brushed his teeth and bathed. His movements were much smoother and faster.


    After brushing his teeth and bathing, they heard the maid''s voice. "Sir, Ms. Luca, breakfast is ready."


    "Let''s go," said Luke. Even though breakfast would be provided on the flight, the food would probably


    not suit him given how picky he was.


    Hence, he wanted to have his breakfast at home and did not n to eat on the ne.


    Luca pushed the wheelchair, and both of them came to the dining table. They ate their breakfast


    quietly.


    Then, Zander came to pick them up.


    After Luca saw Zander cing her and Luke''s suitcases into the boot, she put on an anxious look. ''Are


    we really going to Russia?


    ''Am I really going to witness Luke fail?''


    Luca started to be worried.


    She had solved a problem but, another problem cropped up, making her worried.


    After cing the suitcases, Zander helped Luke into the car first. He then looked at Luca, who was


    daydreaming. "Ms. Luca, it''s time to depart."


    Luca snapped out of it and nodded. "Alright."


    She got into the car from the other side.


    Luke''s wheelchair was in the boot. He sat on the seat.


    Both of them sat side by side, while Zander was in the driver''s seat. He drove them to the airport.


    "Master, is your injury much better now?" Zander had not been in contact with Luke for quite some time


    and could not help but be worried.


    "Much better," said Luke. He was guessing perhaps the cast could be removed once he was back from


    Russia.


    Being in the wheelchair made him feel so restricted.


    "That''s great." Zander was delighted and did not say another word.


    Luca kept quiet as well. She felt like there was something on her back. After struggling to get it, she


    realized it was a hair clip.


    She recognized it to be Rainie''s hair clip.


    Luca nodded and ced the hair clip aside. This car was usually used to fetch the kids to school and


    back. Hence, it was only normal for Rainie''s hair clip to be left behind in the car.


    Speaking about the kids, Zander then said, "Master, when your leg has recovered, do you want the


    kids to go back to the vi?"


    "Of course," Luke spoke in short and precise answers.


    "The kids miss Ms. Luca every single day," said Zander.


    ''The kids miss me.''


    Luca lowered her eyes and revealed a faint smile.


    ''Indeed, it''s because of blood ties that we feel so close to each other.''


    Even though her appearance had changed, the love the kids had for her was still the same.


    When recalling what the three kids said earlier, it made Luca think to herself, ''They also wish for me to


    stay by their side too, right? I haven''t been expressing myself clearly because I''m still worried.''


    Luke sneaked a peek at Luca. He saw the smile on Luca''s face, and this made him feel lost in thought.


    ''How many years has it been? Yet her smile still mesmerizes me.''


    Zander did not say a word, and the car was dead silent. Luke ordered Zander to turn on the radio.


    Coincidentally, the radio was reporting on the incident of Watson Biopharmaceuticals.


    Luca looked at Luke.


    His eyes were closed to rest. He did not have any reaction to that news.


    He was overly calm, and this made Luca even more certain that he had already found out the truth. It


    was just that he did not reveal it.


    As for the reason for him not revealing it, she was also clueless about it.


    Besides, it was as if Luke was not bothered about the incident. His calm expression made her


    suspicious. ''Does he have a backup n? Could it be that his backup n is the project in Russia?


    ''If that''s the case, his current confidence will be shatteredter. If the investors know that the project is


    a failure and the patent for the research is already in the hands of another, it''ll cause share prices to


    fall.


    ''I wonder what''s Luke''s backup n for that?''


    Luca had not heard of any project of T Corporation that would bepleted soon.


    She could not help but feel worried.


    If something really happened, it meant that she was the one who had pushed Luke into a corner...


    The radio reported another piece of news, but her mind still lingered on the previous one. She could not


    help but ce her hands together.


    After an hour, they arrived at the airport.


    "Sir, Ms. Luca, you can get down here," Zander asked.


    Luca snapped out of it and looked at the airport. ''After this, Luke will have to face the greatest defeat in


    his life.''


    Luca pushed the door open and got down from the car.


    Zander took out the folded wheelchair from the boot. After setting it up, he helped Luke down from the


    car.


    Despite everyone looking at him, Luke sat in the wheelchair proudly.


    His injury was no longer a secret in City A. Hence, despite being looked at by others, he was still calm


    and proud like a king.
