There was a knock on his office door before the police chief could gather his thoughts. "Come in."


    A policewoman walked in in a hurry looking flustered. "Sir, the suspect isining that he''s in pain


    again. His face is pale and his facial features are distorted. It doesn''t look like he''s faking it. Should we


    send him to the hospital?"


    "Send him over. Contact the hospital to arrange a detention ward." The police chief had a headache.


    ''He doesn''t appear injured on the surface but is screaming in pain. Could it be an internal injury?''


    However, the statement that he recorded stated that the man was themander of the operation. He


    held Queenie and Luca hostage but did not participate in the fight at all.


    ''How could he have internal injuries if no one has touched him?''


    The chief of police was not at ease. After all, the suspect had yet to be convicted. If something went


    wrong, he would not be able to sit firmly in his position. When the policewoman was about to step out


    of the office door, he urged her, "Make sure the hospital gives him a detailed examination. I want to


    know what''s wrong with him."


    "Will do." The policewoman hurriedly left.


    After a while, the man who was curled up in pain was taken to the hospital by an ambnce. Several


    policemen apanied the man to the hospital.


    On the other hand...


    After Luca had a leisurely dinner, she watched cartoons with the kids for a while.


    The kids were starting school the next day, so the time they had to watch cartoons would be reduced


    soon after.


    Luca looked at their childish faces. Abel had not told her what to do nor instructed her to take on any


    tasks.


    However, she did not know how long she could be with her children.


    In any case, she did not want to be Abel''s tool nor did she want N to grow up in that kind of


    environment.


    After the cartoons ended, Luca said, "You''ll start school tomorrow. Have you finished your winter


    vacation homework?"


    She was not worried that the kids had not finished their winter homework because they had promised


    Luke that they would finish their homework on time every day.


    Therefore, she was certain that the children hadpleted all their homework.


    After all, they were Luke''s children and had the same self-discipline as Luke.


    "We''re all set," the three children answered in unison.


    Luca nodded and stood up with them, "Let''s go double-check?"


    "Okay, Ms. Luca." Tommy stood up, excitedly took Luca''s hand, and headed upstairs.


    The four of them arrived upstairs and slowed down when they passed Luke''s bedroom as they all


    heard him talking to someone inside.


    Tommy pulled Luca into his bedroom and handed her his bag. "Ms. Luca, look!"


    Luca looked at the homework list and checked the homework in Tommy''s school bag. Everything was


    there, and his stationery box was neatly ced as well. She was satisfied and said, "It''s allplete.


    Great job."


    "Hehe." When he saw that she was about to zip up his school bag, Tommy took over and said, "Ms.


    Luca, let me do this kind of heavy work."


    Luca looked at her right hand with a faint smile.


    Considering that she was injured, Tommy felt that it was heavy work even if it was just pulling a zipper.


    Luca''s heart was warm. She felt very lucky to be loved so dearly by the father and son.


    For the children, she was here to take their mother''s ce.


    However, they did not reject her too much. They even knew how to care for and take care of her.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    If she stood with the children and told others that they were all her children, no one would doubt it.


    They were close-knit and acted just like any mother and children.


    They were rted by blood, so it was natural for the kids to want to be close to her.


    Luca then checked Lanie''s and Rainie''s school bags. They were neatly packed, and all their homework


    was in the school bag. Likewise, the stationery boxes she prepared for them were also in the school


    bags.


    She handed them their school bags.


    "You''ll start school tomorrow." Luca sighed leisurely as she counted the time since she left the ind.


    She had apanied the children through summer, autumn, winter, and spring. It had almost been a


    whole year.


    "I would prefer to apany Ms. Luca." Tommy turned to hug Luca''s uninjured hand and moved up to


    hug her entire arm. "I don''t like going to school."


    "What are you talking about? You go to school, I go to work. Youe back from school and I get off


    work. It''s no different." Luca was worried that Tommy would dislike going to school, so she quickly


    coaxed him.


    "Ms. Luca is right." Lanie nodded in agreement.


    As Crawford''s first-born great-grandchild, he was taught the importance of learning at an early age.


    Therefore, he felt that there was no need for holidays. It was better to learn more at school.


    "Brother is the same as Daddy," Rainie muttered and sat on the other side of Luca. "Daddy is a


    workaholic, and Lanie is a studyholic. It''s enough that we have both of them in the Crawford family.


    Tommy and I want to rx. "


    "What are you talking about?" Lanie picked up his school bag, zipped it up, and said to Luca, "Ms.


    Luca, I''m going back to my bedroom." "Okay, wash up and then rest early." Luca nodded. She noticed


    that the children''s bedtime wasing and could not help but sigh about how time flew so fast.


    She wanted to take advantage of thest two days of their vacation to apany the children at home


    this weekend. She had nned to cook something they liked and y games with them.


    Unexpectedly, so much happened...


    Seeing that it was gettingte, Rainie stood up and said, "Ms. Luca, I''ll also be going to my bedroom."


    "Okay, go on." Luca nodded with a smile. She did not want the children to notice her shift in mood.


    After Rainie left the bedroom, Luca stood up and said to Tommy, "Okay, go take a shower too and then


    go to bed early."


    "Okay, Ms. Luca." Tommy nodded, got out of bed, and opened the closet.


    The kids could clean up after themselves, so Luca left the bedroom.


    She closed the bedroom door for Tommy and nced at her injured right hand. ''How do I take a


    shower without getting my hand wet?''


    Luca thought of using stic wrap, so she went downstairs, found the stic wrap in the kitchen, and


    took it upstairs.


    When she was about to walk into her bedroom, Luke stepped out from the opposite bedroom and


    asked, "Have you taken a shower?"


    Luca stopped, shook her head, and said, "Not yet, but I''m going to."


    Luke knew how she nned to go about showering when he saw that she was holding the stic wrap


    in her hand. He frowned and said, "I''ll help you."


    "Help... me?" Luca blinked. Her face turned red, thinking that Luke might help her take a bath.


    Although the two had made love, this kind of contact was still very intimate to her.


    "What are you thinking about?" Luke noticed that she was blushing. He felt as if 10,000 ants were


    gnawing in his heart, causing it to itch. His rationality gradually went out the window.


    However, he had an important international meetingter.
