Chapter 1369 Was She Planning to Replace Her?
Luca continued to hold Tommy in her arms until the drip bottle was dry. She did not let go even after the nurse
removed the needle.
Tommy was quiet in her arms. Under the effect of the sedative, he eventually fell asleep.
The caretaker gently reminded Luca, "Ms. Craw, it'll be quite tiring to carry Master Tommy like that. Shall I do it
instead?"
"I'm fine." Luca felt that her arms were slightly numb, but she insisted on carrying the child. She freed one of her
hands to cover him with the blanket.
Old Master Crawford rushed to the hospital after he knew that Tommy was sick. He got the driver to fetch him
there, and he was surprised to see the scene when he went into the room.
"She is..." He had only seen Luca in photos, and he did not immediately recognize her.
"Grandfather, this is Dr. Craw," Luke said.
"Nice to meet you. Dr. Craw." Old Master Crawford knew that Luca had helped Bianca and Queenie before, and the
three children adored her. He was not going to look down on someone so capable, but he could not understand why
Tommy was sleeping in her arms.
Did she coax Tommy to sleep? That was supposed to be the job of his father. Why would she be the one to do that?
Old Master Crawford might not like Bianca after she lost her memories, but he respected Luke's choice did not
force him to divorce her. He wondered if Luca was trying to gain the children's favor so that she could replace
Bianca in the Crawford family.
He had that suspicion because so many women had tried to do the same thing over the years.
As far as Old Master Crawford was concerned, marrying Bianca was Luke's choice, and Luke ought to take
responsibility for his decisions.

stand up because she was carrying the child in her arms.
She was relieved to see that Old Master Crawford was still in good health.
Even though there had been some misunderstandings between them, she was grateful toward Old Master
Crawford.
Without Old Master Crawford in the house, her three children would probably be bullied by the other people in the
family. Luke was busy at work, and he could not be constantly looking after the children.
"Mm. What's wrong with Tommy?" Old Master Crawford asked.
Luca looked at the child in her arms. He was sleeping
soundly, and one of his hands was gripping Luca's arm as though he was worried that she might go away.
That was all she could do in the daytime. At night, she would not hesitate to lie down beside him.
The caretaker explained, "Master Tommy was throwing a tantrum earlier, and Ms. Craw managed to calm him
down."
Old Master Crawford knew that Tommy adored Luca, but he could not understand why Luca was here at the
hospital.
"Mm, thank you, Ms. Craw. How is Tommy’s condition?" Old Master Crawford asked out of concern.
Luke replied, "Tommy's fever has subsided, but his condition is unstable, and his fever might return. That's why I
asked Dr.
Craw to come over to check on Tommy."
"How did he become like that? I know that Tommy was coughing a few days ago, but how did it become so serious?
" Old Master Crawford asked, confused.
"We don't know yet," Luke said.
Old Master Crawford walked over to the bedside with the help of his walking stick. His heart wrenched when he saw
Tommy's face. "Did Dr. Park say anything?"
"They had just performed a series of tests on Tommy, Grandfather. Let's not rush them. They can only diagnose
Tommy's condition after the test results are out," Luke said.
Old Master Crawford knew that there was no point in rushing them. He went to sit down on the couch and waited
for the test results.
He looked at Luca, who was hugging Tommy as though she were his mother. Then, he was reminded of Bianca, who
was traveling and having fun somewhere. "How about Bianca? When is she coming home?" He asked.
"She won't be coming home any time soon," Luke said.
Old Master Crawford was unhappy to hear that. He thought that Bianca was prioritizing her own gratification over
the children's health. "That's no way to be a mother! When a child is sick, they need their mother the most, yet
she's still having fun somewhere!"
Luke could not tell Old Master Crawford that Bianca was an impostor. Before he got to the bottom of the matter, it
was best to keep it a secret. After all, he could not afford to let the enemy know what he knew.
"Bianca has been taking care of the children for the past three years. I thought she deserved to have some time
off," he said.
Luca's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
"It doesn't mean that she can neglect her children! How can she have the mood to travel when her son is sick?" Old
Master Crawford said unhappily.
"I didn't tell her," Luke said calmly.
Old Master Crawford frowned hard, thinking if Luke had pampered Bianca too much. Otherwise, there was no
reason to let her continue her trip without telling her about what happened to Tommy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca was quiet as she listened to the conversation between Old Master Crawford and Luke.
She knew that Bianca was traveling. Even if Bianca did not care about the children, she should at least pretend that
she cared.
However, Luke said that he did not inform her.
If the impostor Bianca had planned for Tommy to fall sick, she would not have been traveling during this period.
The impostor Bianca had no medical skills, but she should know when the drug would take effect.
Last time, she had abducted Rainie so that she could gain some respect from Old Master Crawford. It was the
perfect opportunity for her to pretend to be a caring mother, so why was she not around to take care of Tommy?
As capricious as she might be, she would not disobey Abel's orders.
The more Luca thought about it, the more suspicious she became. Suddenly, she was not jealous of the attention
Luke gave to the impostor Bianca.
"Bianca is your wife, Luke. I know you pamper her, but you shouldn't let her do that," Old Master Crawford said
sternly.
Luke nodded. "Grandfather, you don't have to worry about our relationship."
Luca’s suspicion continued to grow as she listened to their conversation. She stole a glance at Luke's side profile
and wondered if he was hiding something from his grandfather.
Did he find out that Bianca was an impostor?
Luca immediately dismissed that thought. The impostor Bianca's excuse had always been that she had lost her
memories. How could Luke see past her lies?
The more Luca thought about it, the more she realized that she had to find out the truth.
She decided that she would ask Amur to investigate.
Amur was good at hacking. She could ask him to check the immigration records to see if the impostor Bianca had
traveled overseas like what Luke claimed.
Old Master Crawford could tell that Luke had no intention of asking Bianca to come home. He shook his head and
said nothing more about the matter.
