Luke and Luca walked beside Queenie, and they walked into the house together.
Luke nced around and found that Jack was not there. "Mother-inw, where''s Jack?"
"He''s still at the provincial office as he has a meeting today. He''lle back a littleter. Ten minutes
ago, he said he was ready to leave and mentioned that he would get a bottle of wine. He wants to drink
with you tonight. Don''t just stand here. Come sit and drink some tea to warm your body." Queenie said
with a smile as she got them to sit down.
"Father-inw has been busy. How is his health?" Luke asked, concerned. He was sitting across from
Queenie.
"He''s been busy. There seem to be a lot of meetings going on recently, and he oftenes backte.
It''s considered early for him toe back at this time today," Queenie said as she made them tea.
Jack was upied likely because there was a new project in the province, or he was attending to the
inspection officers from the central government.
There was no news about the central governmenting for inspections, so Luke assumed that Jack
was working overtime on the development in the western suburbs.
After all, if thend were to be developed, Jack, as the leader, must have a lot of things to attend to. He
had to meet, discuss, and negotiate with various departments.
"Come, have some tea." Queenie poured the tea into two cups and ced them in front of them.
Luca picked up the cup and took a sip of the hot tea.
The tea was warm and reminded her of the warmth of a mother.
"Aunt Queenie, let me take your pulse." Luca put down the cup after she felt the warmth on her hands.
"Okay." Queenie reached out her hand so that Luca could take her pulse.
Luca put her hand lightly on Queenie''s pulse while she looked, smelled, inquired, and diagnosed.
Luke watched without saying anything.
After about a minute, Luca motioned to Queenie to bring over her other hand and continued to take her
pulse.
After half a minute, she asked, "Aunt Queenie, you haven''t been sleeping welltely?"
"Yeah, how did you know?" Queenie nodded. Although she did not have insomnia like she used to, she
was always dreaming.
Her dreams were absurd and bizarre. They mostly involved Bianca and Leia. She would wake up tired
like she had not gotten any sleep at night.
Jack did not know about it either because she knew he was busy and did not want him to worry.
Although she did not mention anything about it, Jack could tell that something was wrong. He thought
she seemed a little flustered whenever she woke up as though she did not get enough sleep.
"Your pulse is a little chaotic like you''re often restless. I can prepare a prescription to condition your
body," Luca said.
She knew that Queenie did not like her, so she did not dare to mess around. Luca was worried that
Queenie might overthink.
"Okay, thank you." Queenie retracted her hand. Although Luca could tell what she was going through,
Queenie was well aware.
She was not sick; she was overthinking.
It was mainly about Bianca and Leia.
She did not know where Bianca was, and Bianca had made it clear that she would not be returning to A
City this year.
No matter what she said, Bianca still insisted on not returning to A City.
Queenie could not do anything about it.
As for Leia, her health was getting worse and worse because she did not take her medicine on time.
Her liver function was seriously damaged, and the doctor said that there was no other way but to wait
for a liver transnt.
She had been waiting in line for the liver donation, but it was far from her turn.
All she could do was take medicine and go to the hospital for regr injections to sustain her life.
Therefore, Leia was dissatisfied and would make noise every day, ming Queenie for not giving her
money to buy a suitable liver from the ck market.
Luca noticed the reluctance on Queenie''s face and could not help but remind her, "Aunt Queenie, rest
is important. You must pay more attention to it."
"Okay, I know. It happens asionally, mainly because Bea has been refusing toe back. As her
mother, I''m worried about her, so I overthink at night and dream about her." Queenie deliberately
mentioned Bianca in front of Luca in hopes that she would understand that Luke had a wife and she
should not destroy their marriage.
Luca looked at Luke subconsciously when Queenie mentioned Bianca.
Luke was looking at her as well.
Luca lowered her gaze and said, "By the way, Aunt Queenie, have you checked your blood pressure
recently?"
"Yes, I measure it every day. My low blood pressure symptoms are much better. Recently, my blood
pressure has also risen a bit. However, Jack''s blood pressure fluctuates up and down. Sometimes
when he gets busy, he''ll forget to take his medicine. Luca, do you have any herbs to help with high
blood pressure?" Queenie asked. She was worried about Jack''s health even though she was upied
with Bianca and Leia.
It seemed that their home had not had peace since Bianca got kidnapped.
"Western medicine is better, but you can usually adjust your diet to help control blood pressure. I can
write down a few recipes, and you can prepare the food for Uncle Jack twice a week. It''ll help control
his blood pressure," Luca said. She felt distressed.
If Queenie had not mentioned anything, she would not know that Jack had high blood pressure.
However, they were all getting old. Generally, at their age, people who did not pay much attention to
their health would get high blood pressure, Hyperlipidemia, or high blood sugar.
Jack was busy with work andcked exercise, so it was normal that he had high blood pressure.
Her parents were getting old, but she could not stay by their side as their daughter to take care of them
and fulfill her filial piety to them...
Luca was very upset.
Queenie got energized and told the maid, "Really? Thank you so much. Go and get the pen and
paper."
"However, fundamentally, it''s best to have a healthy routine, diet, and exercise," Luca said. Medicine
and diet were both helpful, but the best option was to change one''s bad habits.

"He used to exercise often. Since my health has improved, he became very busy after he decided to go
back to work. Sometimes, he has to stay upte. He also likes to drink a little, so his health is not as
good as before." Queenie sighed.
When she was not feeling well, Jack paid great attention to his health and exercised regrly, saying
that he would not let himself be in trouble because he would not be able to take care of her if
something happened to him.
"In that case..." Luca took the pen and paper handed over by the maid and began to write some
prescriptions to condition Queenie''s body as well as recipes for Jack''s diet.
Before she was done with the recipes, Jack walked in and saw Luke and Luca. He said with a bright
smile on his face, "Luke, Luca, you''re here!"
Queenie heard him and knew that Jack knew Luca would being.
He knew that she did not like Luca, so he did not mention it on purpose.
Queenie sighed to herself. If Luca and Luke had nothing going on, Luca was indeed a good person.
However, she felt that Luca was getting too close to Luke, so even if Luca had saved her, she could not
bring herself to like Luca anymore.
