"Mm, sounds great. Thank you for your hard work." Luca smiled at her.


    "No worries, no worries at all," Aunt Neile said as she returned to the kitchen.


    After the news broadcast, Luca switched to another channel and wanted to watch international news.


    The phone beside her rang.


    She picked her phone up and looked at it. It was Tina calling.


    Luca looked at the shing screen, and her mood sank. She did not answer immediately because she


    knew that it was likely that Tina called to talk about Amur.


    ''Amur just left. How would Tina know?''


    Luca still decided to answer Tina''s call.


    "Dr. Craw, how''s your schedule today?" Tina, who was on the other end of the phone, asked.


    Luca could hear that Tina''s tone was a little hesitant. She guessed that she must have struggled for a


    while before she called her.


    "I''m not busy. What''s the matter?" she asked in a hoarse voice.


    "Why is your voice so hoarse?" Tina noticed that something was wrong with her voice.


    "Mm, I identally caught a cold yesterday and my throat is a little inmed. Is everything okay, Tina?"


    Luca picked up the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV.


    "You have a cold? In that case, forget about it. It''s nothing important. I''ll hang up now. You have a good


    rest and get well soon." Tina did not dare to disturb her when she learned that Luca was ill.


    Both she and Jason knew how important Luca was to Luke.


    What Luca needed most was rest. She should not be disturbed.


    "Tina, wait a minute." Luca nced in the direction of the dining room. Aunt Neile walked out from there


    and went upstairs with a tray.


    "What''s wrong?" Tina asked slowly.


    "You want to talk about Amur, right?" Luca probed. Tina rarely bothered her. Every time she talked to


    her privately, it was about Amur.


    "Mm, it''s not something important. Dr. Craw, you should get some rest." Tina admitted to it but did not


    continue to pursue the matter.


    There were some things that she wanted to rify face-to-face, but Luca was clearly not in the best


    state to head out.


    Tina worried that Luke would give her trouble if Luca''s condition got worse because of her.


    "It''s okay. Just ask me what you want to." Luca said, "I''m not sure how Amur managed the situation


    with you, but if there are some things that he didn''t give you an answer for, I''ll answer you on his


    behalf."


    "I''m not sure if it''s best to discuss this on the phone." Tina sounded a little depressed.


    "Why don''t youe here, then? I can''t go out in my current condition." Luca felt bad when she heard


    Tina''s tone.


    "Are you sure that you''re okay with that?" Tina hesitated. She did not feel good disturbing Luca''s rest


    for a crush.


    It was not like her to do something like that. "Don''t worry about it. Dr. Craw, you have a good rest."


    "It''s okay. Do you know my address?" Luca asked.


    "I do..." Tina thought about it for a while and decided to visit Luca.


    Amur refused to tell her why he had to leave, so she wanted to try her luck with Luca.


    At the very least, she wanted to put an end to her crush.


    "I''ll wait for you, then." Luca hung up the phone for fear that Tina would continue to hesitate.


    Aunt Neile came down after she brought some fruits and snacks upstairs. When Luca saw her, she


    said, "Aunt Neile, can I trouble you to prepare some refreshments? We''ll have a guestter."


    "Okay, Ms. Craw. Is it a mister or a miss who would be visiting?" Aunt Neile asked. She was deciding


    what tea to make based on the gender of the guest.


    "It''s ady," Luca said. "However, she doesn''t seem to like drinking floral tea, so you can prepare a pot


    of coffee instead."


    "Understood." Aunt Neile walked into the kitchen and began to grind coffee beans.


    Luca turned up the volume on the TV and continued to watch the news.


    The doorbell rang almost an hourter.


    Luca picked up the handset of the videophone and confirmed that Tina had arrived at the gate of the


    community before she pressed the button to allow her toe in.


    Tina had been here before, so she knew which household to head to.


    Luca walked to the kitchen door and said to Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, the guest is arriving."


    "Okay, I''ll take the coffee out right away." Aunt Neile nced back at her before she put the coffee for


    Tina and the fruit tea for Luca on the tray. She carried it to the living room.


    After she ced them on the coffee table, Aunt Neile said, "Ms. Craw, do you need me to prepare


    some fruits?"


    "We can decideter," Luca said. She guessed that Tina would not be in the mood to eat.


    She was more curious about how Tina found out that Amur had left.

    After a while, the doorbell rang.


    This time, Tina had arrived at the door of the vi, so Luca went to open the door and then stood at the


    entrance to wait for Tina.


    After a while, she saw Tina slowly walking in with an umbre in her hand.


    It was not a working day, so Tina did not wear formal clothes but instead wore a ck coat that


    highlighted her exquisite figure.


    Her hair was loose. She appearedzy but noble.


    Luca sighed in her heart about what a pity it was that Amur and Tina could not end up together...


    Someone like Tina would have many suitors. Unfortunately, Amur was not the lucky man.


    "Dr. Craw..." Tina walked into the room to greet her. She had used delicate makeup to cover up her


    haggardness, but the sorrows in her voice could not be concealed.


    "You didn''t rest well yesterday?" Luca took a step back to keep her distance.


    "How did you know?" Tina''s mouth twitched.


    Luca could see that her smile was bitter. Tina did not look well. If she did not know her, she would not


    be able to imagine what she usually looked like in the workce.


    "Although you put on makeup, it can''t hide your haggardness." Luca said, "I asked Aunt Neile to


    prepare some refreshments for you. Let''s have your shoes changed."


    Tina nodded, took off her high heels, and put on a pair of t-bottomed disposable slippers.


    She followed Luca inside.


    Since she had been here, she did not care much for the decorations. She was led by Luca to sit on the


    sofa.


    Luca was sitting a little far away from her. "I have a cold. I won''t infect you if I keep some distance."


    "It''s okay, Dr. Craw." Tina heard her hoarse voice and felt a little guilty.


    "Have some coffee. Let me know what you think of Aunt Neile''s skills." Luca did not rush Tina to


    express her thoughts. After all, she had juste in from outside and needed to warm herself up.


    Tina took a sip of coffee and looked at Luca.


    "You know about Amur?" Luca probed.


    "I know he left A City." Tina put down her coffee cup and folded her hands.


    "He told you that in person?" Luca asked. She was somewhat surprised that Amur would tell Tina


    before he left.


    If he did that, it meant that Amur likely had feelings for Tina...


    "Not really but somewhat..." Tina shook her head.
