    It was almost past lunchtime when Luca walked out of theboratory.


    Luca asked Zoey to order takeout for her. That was why she was nning to return to her office and


    eat her lunch. After that, she would continue to handle her work.


    Before she returned to her office, Zoey came forward and said, “Dr. Craw, I''ve left your lunchbox on


    your office desk. And Mr. Crawford is in your office."


    Luca was startled for a moment. Zoey deliberately lowered her voice when she mentioned Luke''s


    name.


    "I got it." Luca''s voice was calm, and it carried a trace of coldness.


    Zoey watched Luca march back to her office from behind. She could not help but let out a sigh. If it was


    another woman who encountered such a situation, she would not be able to hide the joy and


    excitement in her voice.


    However, Luca...


    Her reaction was so calm, and she was not even surprised to hear that. She was different from the


    other women. Perhaps that was the reason why their boss was attracted to her.


    Luca pushed the door open and walked into her office. Luke was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.


    Luca closed the door, took off her white coat, and said, "Mr. Crawford, what brings you here?"


    "I came to eat lunch with you," replied Luke.


    Luca only came to notice that there were a few lunchboxes on the coffee table. One of them must be


    the one Zoey ordered for her, while Luke must have brought the others here.


    "This is too much.." Luca said awkwardly.


    "No, it''s not. Take a seat," replied Luke. He opened the lunch boxes one after another. Then, he took


    the disposable cutleries and helped Luca with some white bread.


    Luca had a smaller appetite. That was why Luke did not give her a lot of bread. Then, he helped her


    with the bacon and ced it on her te.


    "That''s enough, Mr. Crawford." Luca knew Luke was helping her with the food when she saw the bread


    on the te. As Luca watched the bacon fill up the te, she quickly stopped him and said, "I can''t eat


    that much."


    Luke lifted his head and put the te in front of Luca. Then, he said, "Come on. Eat your lunch. You


    can have some brown sugar tea that Aunt Neile had sent here."


    "Aunt Neile sent some brown sugar tea for me?" Luca was surprised. She took a bite of the bacon. It


    tasted familiar.


    "Don''t you think it tastes familiar to you?" Luke questioned her. He asked Aunt Neile to send the


    lunchboxes to the office since she was delivering the brown sugar tea here.


    "Aunt Neile prepared these." Luca took another bite. She knew it was Aunt Neile who prepared it. At


    first, she was wondering how there could be so many choices if Luke ordered takeout.


    The food looked sumptuous, smelled good, and tasted yummy...


    "You can have more. Your body needs more nutrients now," said Luke.


    Luca found it strange when she heard him saying that. Why did Luke make it sound like she was


    pregnant. Previously, when she was pregnant with Luke''s fourth child, she barely took any supplements


    and nutrients.


    In the end, she depended on Shanks''s nutrient injections. She was unable to get used to the food


    served on the Ind of Despair.


    After lunch, Luca drank the brown sugar tea Aunt Neile made for her.


    The warm brown sugar tea tasted good. There was the aroma of ginger. At the same time, the


    sweetness of the brown sugar covered up the spiciness of the ginger. The two vors went well


    together.


    "Is it good?" Luke asked when he saw the satisfied expression on Luca''s face. He felt content too.


    "It''s good." Luca pulled a tissue and wiped her mouth.


    Luke stared at her and asked, "Luca, can you tell me why you went to the hospital today?"

    "I thought I told you.." Luca replied in an awkward tone.


    "But you didn''t tell me who asked for your help. You don''t have many friends here. It''s not Sue or Nina,


    not the guy Jean injured. So, who is it?" Luke did not give her the chance to make up an excuse.


    "I think you already know who it is.." answered Luca. Leia hade back for quite some time, and she


    had been in the hospital receiving treatment. How could Luke, someone who was well-connected and


    resourceful, not know about it.


    Perhaps Leia was the only one who thought she could hide from him.


    "Found out about what?" Luke deliberately asked her.


    Luca frowned. She had no choice but to answer him, "You must''ve known about it."


    "Leia?" Luke gave her a mischievous smirk. He could not help but feel sorry for Luca when he saw how


    cautious she was.


    Luca was forced to go through all those things because of Leia. Now, she had to save Leia''s life for


    Queenie''s sake.


    No matter who it was, anyone would feel conflicted once they put themselves in her shoes.


    However, Luca chose not to tell him. Not only did she hide her true identity, but she also promised


    Queenie to help Leia.


    "You already know about it.." Luca could sense something was wrong. Luke hated Leia. He did not deal


    with her and sent her away after knowing she came back. Instead, he pretended like he did not know


    about it.


    Could it be Jack who asked him not to do so?


    “I knew she came back the moment she entered the country." Luke held Luca''s hand. It was so soft. He


    could not help but squeeze her hands a few times.


    "You''re not nning to deal with her, right?" Luca asked. If he were to deal with Leia, he would not


    have let her stay in A City until now.


    "If I send Leia back to New York now, Mother-inw will be heartbroken. She might even faint. That''s


    why I didn''t do anything to Leia. Not only because Father-inw asked me to do so, but I''d like to learn


    more about something from her," replied Luke.


    "About what?" Luca asked.


    Luke stared at her without saying a word.


    Previously, Luca was taken away by the people of the Ind of Despair. Leia was the one who


    cooperated with them, but Luke was not able to make Leia talk and spill the beans about the


    organization. He was so furious that he had no choice but to send her to New York.


    Now, Leia was back in the country. He had to seize the chance to learn more about the Ind of


    Despair.


    However, he could not tell Luca about his ns.


    "Mr. Crawford?" Luca asked in confusion when Luke fell silent.


    "Leia did many dirty things before this. You don''t have to interfere with this. How is she doing now?"


    Luke asked. He had yet to ask Johann about her condition.


    "Dr. Park should''ve told you, right?" Luca was puzzled. She believed that Johann was siding with Luke.


    There was no such thing as medical ethics in Johann''s dictionary. He would tell Luke whatever he


    wanted to know.


    "He didn''t go into the details."


    "Ms. Norman is awake now, but things aren''t getting better for her. She... She has to undergo a liver


    transnt immediately if that''s possible," said Luca. She knew exactly what situation Leia was in now.


    It was like Kevin, who was anxiously waiting for a liver transnt back then.


    "She hasn''t given up the thought of getting a liver in the ck market?" Luke asked again.


    Luca shook her head. She knew Luke had been keeping an eye on Leia fro the very beginning.


    Queenie thought she would be able to hide it from Luke. However, no one could hide anything from


    Luke.


    "Ms. Norman has a strong survival instinct. I guess she won''t give up that easily," Luca said in a soft


    voice. Her voice was full of helplessness.
