After the children left, Luca sat even more upright because she knew that Old Master Crawford had


    something to say.


    She waited for him to speak.

    Old Master Crawford noticed her sitting up straight. He shook his head andughed. “Luca, don''t be


    nervous."


    Luca thought to herself, ''How can I not be nervous in front of such a wise man like Old Master


    Crawford when I''m guilty?''


    "Old Master Crawford, did Mr. Jackman and Old Master Bournee here for work-rted matters


    last time?" She wanted to confirm with Old Master Crawford.


    Margaret was still in the police station''s detention center.


    It was not a serious offense, but she still had to be detained for 15 days as a punishment.


    "Yes. They weren''t here for Mrs. Jackman''s situation but because Jackman Corporation wants to work


    with T Corporation," said Old Master Crawford. There was no need for him to hide.


    "However, they went to the wrong person. Unlike Old Master Bourne, I''m no longer in charge of the


    company, so I had them find Luke. I even prepared a new tea for you that day. It''s a shame that you left


    without taking a sip when they came."


    Old Master Crawford thought that the new cup of tea had been wasted.


    Luca grinned.


    "If drinking tea at night wasn''t bad for you, I would''ve served you some tea. Come over whenever


    you''re free during the day. The new tea leaves are still waiting for you," said Old Master Crawford.


    When Luca was still Bianca, she loved tea with a refreshing taste.


    She would have liked the taste of the new tea.


    Luca nodded and replied, "Alright."


    Old Master Crawford asked again, "By the way, Wanda has undergone surgery, right? How''s she


    doing?"


    He wanted to go visit, but Luke stopped him, saying that it was not time yet.


    Old Master Crawford did not know when that would be, but since Luke said so, he had no choice but to


    listen to him.


    "Ms. Rayne is in good condition right now. Once the stitches are removed and she has recovered, she''ll


    be able to start chemotherapy in about half a month," said Luca. However, the doctor had the final say


    on the exact date of the chemotherapy.


    Everyone''s physique was different, after all. Chemotherapy itself was painful enough, but if it was done


    when the patient''s wounds had not healed, it would not help with recovery.


    “What did Johann say? Is it curable?" Old Master Crawford asked. The Rayne family was small, and


    even Bianca did not actually have thest name Rayne.


    "It''s hard to say whether she can be cured because it depends on Ms. Rayne''s immune system.


    However, so far, Dr. Wi''s surgery was a huge sess, so with the treatment, she may be cured."


    Luca guessed, but she could not guarantee what the future held.


    Who could guarantee that the cancer cells would not rpse in the future?


    Some people were born with genes that were prone to carry cancer cells, but that did not mean they


    would definitely get cancer.


    However, their chances of getting cancer were higher than other people, so it was impossible to predict


    such things.


    A healthy lifestyle and psychological state was the key to restoring Wanda''s health.


    "I hope everything will be alright. The Rayne family can''t stand another blow. Old Master Rayne


    contacted me thest two days, and he seemed restless. Wanda has been away for too long, so he''s


    been starting to feel uneasy," Old Master Crawford mentioned.


    Luca nodded and kept those words in mind.


    Old Master Crawford chatted with her about many other topics, and when the kids were about to go to


    sleep, Luca went up to tell them a bedtime story before letting them go back to their own bedrooms.


    The kids were easily pleased.


    They had been staying at the manor for the past few days, so, of course, they missed their parents.


    Although they missed them, they did not make a fuss. Luca brought over cookies she made herself and


    even told them bedtime stories, so they went to sleep with full hearts.


    When it was about ten o''clock, Luca left.


    She sat in the back and watched Warren drive while wondering if she should mention to Luke that she


    should drive herself when it got toote. That way, Warren could get off work earlier.


    Warren was a young man, so he had his own life too. He could not be on call 24 hours a day just for


    that little amount of money...


    Luca knew about Warren''s responsibilities. Even if he was Gale and Rain''s assistant, he still had to


    start a family. If she continued letting Warren drive her to ces, how was he going to meet women or


    even date his current girlfriend?


    She was not one to strike up conversations, so she had no clue about Warren''s love life.


    However, Luca did not intend to bring it up now because Luke was busy.


    After returning to the mansion, Luca nced at the opposite room and saw Luke working inside. She


    went downstairs to heat up the leftover soup.


    The soup was good for nourishing the body and had many other benefits too. Even Wanda could have


    it after undergoing the operation.


    Mrs. Lane too, after working long hours.


    People like Luke, who stayed upte and did not get enough sleep, could definitely have it.


    Luca carefully took the bowl of soup to the door of the bedroom. He did not close the door, so she


    knocked on the door and went in before cing it on the desk.


    "Soup?" Luke smelled the soup.


    He had drunk a bowl of soup that night, and it was a bit bitter but still delicious.


    "Yup, this soup is good for you. You should have more." Luca''s eyes were glistening with endless


    affection.


    Even though Luke was not hungry, he had to drink it because Luca brought it over.


    He picked it up and finished it.


    Luca took the soup bowl from him and talked about her conversation with Old Master Crawford today.


    "Old Master Crawford said that Mr. Jackman and Old Master Bourne went to him to discuss working


    together."


    "Mhm, they came to me in private as well," said Luke.


    Luca was speechless as she did not think that Mr. Jackman had the audacity to go to Luke.


    If she were in his ce, she would never be able to do this. How could he throw away his dignity for


    business?


    She did not ask Luke about his decision because she knew that he would not work with Lonnie, so she


    held the soup bowl and said, "Continue doing your work, then. I''ll go wash up."


    She was not as busy as Luke, so she should rest as it was gettingte.


    Luke nodded.


    Luca went downstairs to wash the dishes before going back up to take her pajamas and wash up in the


    bathroom.


    After showering, she walked out of the bathroom, sat in front of the dressing table, and meticulously


    applied skincare products.


    The children had been staying at the manor for the past few days, but she was still not used to it.


    Usually, she would go to the children''s rooms at this time to see if they had gone to bed or kicked their


    nkets off the beds.


    Luca recalled the kids clinging to her at the manor just now and hoped that the situation could be


    resolved quickly so that she could bring the kids back home.


    The children''s every word showed their longing for her and Luke.


    Even though they missed her, they did not make a fuss about following her back when she left.


    Luca looked at herself in the mirror as she thought about her three kids, and finally, she thought about


    N as well.
