“Of course." Luca caressed the child''s head. After what happened previously, she did not purposely


    keep her distance from the children in front of the old master anymore. "By the way, where''s Lanie and


    Rainie?"


    If they wanted to be close to her, then she would let them be.


    After all, the days she spent with them were numbered.


    "My brother and sister are upstairs doing their homework," Tommy said with a smile, leaning even


    closer to her.


    Luca simply put her arms around him.


    Luke stood aside as he watched Luca and Tommy stick together eagerly, which did not make him


    jealous but made the corners of his mouth curl up into a smile instead. "I''ll go upstairs and keep the


    files."


    "Go ahead. I''ll entertain them here." Old Master Crawford waved his hand without paying any attention


    to Luke.


    He saw Luca''s concern for the children, which differed from other women. There was no pretense, and


    the affection in her eyes did not look like it was for show. She was not fake at all and was very suitable


    to be a mother to the children.


    He ordered Mr. Griffin, "Here, pour some tea for Luca."


    "Yes, Old Master Crawford." Mr. Griffin stepped forward and poured the flower tea he brewed into a


    clean and clear ss cup.


    Old Master Crawford exined, "I heard that the vor of the tea would be much more robust if it''s


    brewed this way, but this is all young people stuff. I don''t know much about it. Luca, try and see what


    this flower tea tastes like."


    It would be rude to decline the old master''s kindness, so after putting Tommy on the seat next to her,


    she bent over to pick up the cup of tea. The tea was hot, so she took a small sip. It tasted clean, and


    the fragrance of flowers filled her mouth.


    At the same time, she tasted something other than flower tea.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    After putting down the teacup, Luca looked at Old Master Crawford. "Old Master Crawford, did you add


    anything else other than flower tea?"


    "Your taste buds really can''t be deceived. I did add some medicinal herbs to it. A well-known doctor in


    A City prescribed it for Louis'' wife. He said that it has beautifying properties. It''s especially good for


    those who are busy with work and have little time to rest and take care of themselves. Mr. Griffin, bring


    out the medicine for Luca to see." Old Master Crawford did not lie about adding medicinal herbs into


    the drink.


    However, he had gotten another doctor to prescribe this medicine. It was not the same medicine that


    Yuri took.


    Besides, Luca was knowledgeable in the medical field. If he wanted to carry out tonight''s n, it must


    be done separately.


    Susan came downstairs and happened to hear the old master say that. She could not help but go up to


    the butler and open the bag of medicine. She frowned and said, “Father, how can you give such


    important medicine to an outsider?"


    "Isn''t it just a tonic? How important can it be?" Old Master Crawford even put Yuri''s medicine packet


    label on it so that Luca would believe him.


    "It''s not like you don''t know how precious and costly the herbs inside are. If others know about this,


    they''ll think that Ms. Luca is your granddaughter-inw while Yuri is no one!" Susan looked at the


    situation in front of her discontentedly as Yuri was also part of her family.


    The old master was openly treating Luca nicely, but Luca and Luke''s rtionship was still unclear.


    After going through all that trouble to drive away that crazy woman, Bianca, here came another one


    who was favored, Luca. Susan looked at the medicinal herbs with a gloomy expression.


    She did not know how to distinguish herbs, nor did she know the old master''s n. Hence, when she


    saw thebel, she simply assumed that it belonged to Yuri.


    Old Master Crawford was instantly upset. He thought that Susan''s sarcasm toward Luca was all


    because of a packet of herbs. She was humiliating the Crawford family.


    "Is Yuri that short of money that she can''t even buy a packet of herbs?" he asked. "I''ll return the money


    for this packet of herbs to Yuri."


    Susan opened her mouth but had nothing to say as the old master''s words had left her speechless.


    Their family was indeed not short of money that they could not afford a packet of herbs, but that was


    Yuri''s herbs that Old Master Crawford was giving to Luca. She felt as though her belongings were


    always being taken away.


    Her husband, thepany that originally belonged to her son, and now, Yuri''s herbs...


    Luca sat there and awkwardly listened to the conversation between the two. She felt like it was wrong


    of her to have drunk this cup of tea.


    "What are you still standing here for? Do you have a problem?" Old Master Crawford looked at Susan


    with a straight face. There was a reason why Zachary cheated on her with Allison.


    Other than the fact that Zachary had always been a Casanova, Susan''s character was also a problem.


    Zachary could not stand this strong character of hers, so he was deceived by Allison''s fake gentleness.


    In the end, both women were hard to deal with.


    "Father, there''s no need for the money." Susan did not speak up because she was heartbroken about


    the small sum of money. After all, the Crawford family had lots of money. How was it possible for them


    to be unable to afford herbs?


    "Then why are you making so much noise?" said Old Master Crawford angrily. He was currently


    helping Luke aplish a life-changing event, yet she was here making a fuss and spoiling the fun.


    “I just think that you shouldn''t take Yuri''s things without notice. You know that she hasn''t been well ever


    since she gave birth to Thea. The doctor told her to take the herbs regrly and that the course of


    treatment shouldn''t be messed up in order to attain the best results. Honestly, I''m not upset about the


    money. My heart just aches for Yuri''s body." Susan sat on the couch with no intention of leaving.


    "Mr. Griffin." Old Master Crawford only found her exnation noisy.


    It was only a tonic, not some life-saving medicine.


    "What are your orders, Old Master Crawford?" Mr. Griffin immediately answered beside him.


    "Contact the doctorter and have him prepare ten more packets of the medicinal herbs. Then, have


    Ol'' Zander go over to get them," Old Master Crawford said in a cold voice. It was obvious that he was


    exasperated by Susan''s words.


    "Yes." Mr. Grffin immediately carried out his orders and picked up his phone to contact the doctor for


    the herbs.


    Luca lowered her eyes and looked at the bag of medicine.


    She knew that Susan was worked up because of her, not because Old Master Crawford had


    misappropriated the herbs.


    If Old Master Crawford had misappropriated the herbs and given them to someone else, she would not


    be this angry. Susan was only this furious because he gave it to her.


    The reason was simple. It was because of Luke...


    Susan thought that she was in an appropriate rtionship with Luke and had one foot in the Crawford


    family, which was why she felt animosity toward her.


    "Luca,e and have some tea," Old Master Crawford said to Luca, his voice bing warmer. He


    continued, "I heard from Luke that you''re very busy with research matters. You even had to apany


    Luke abroad for the contract signing. It must''ve been hard on you. This tea was specially brewed for


    you to nourish your body."


    Luca picked up the cup of tea and had no choice but to drink it since the old master was so enthusiastic


    about it.


    She had nced at the medicine bag without thoroughly inspecting the herbs inside, so she was not


    able to differentiate them at all.


    Besides, many types of herbal medicine looked simr.
