“It doesn’t matter.” Luke took the tableware, picked up the flask, and poured the oats into the bowl. He asked, “Why
are you free today?”
“Nothing much is going on in the company so I got off work on time and brought some oats for Tommy,” Luca
rubbed her hands and replied.
Luke responded, picked up the bowl, ate a mouthful, then took another bite of the dishes that the Crawford family’s
cook prepared.
Tommy sat with his legs crossed and watched Luke slowly eating the oats. He smiled and asked, “Dad, aren’t the
oats made by Ms. Luca delicious?”
“Not bad.” Luke finished his bowl of oats and poured the remaining oats into the bowl.
Luca was a little speechless when she watched him eat slowly. She did not expect Luke would eat the oats she
made. If she knew that he would, she would have prepared more.
She glanced at the flask and noted that the flask could not hold that much food either.
Luca stood up, took the empty flask, and planned to clean it. If it was not cleaned in time, it would be difficult to
clean it when she got home later due to the sticky oats.
Upon seeing this, the nanny said quickly, “Ms. Luca, let me do it.”
Luca shook her head and said, “It’s okay, I can do it.”
She cleaned the flask, and Luke finished the last bite of oats. When she walked out, the nanny asked, “Young Master
Luke, are you full? Would you like to eat a little more?”
“I’ve had enough.” Luke put down the tableware. He did not eat much in Watson Biopharmaceuticals’ cafeteria
during lunch. He was a little hungry and felt better after he had something to eat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter listening to what he said, the nanny nodded and silently cleaned up the dishes.
Luca walked out while carrying a flask. She said, “I’m going to head home now.”
“Ms. Luca, you’re leaving so soon?” Tommy jumped off the sofa. He did not have a fever, so he felt much better.
“Mm, I still have some work to do.” Luca wanted to stay and spend more time with Tommy but Luke was around.
She thought about it and chose to leave.
Tommy was reluctant to see her leave. He shook her arm and said, “Ms. Luca, will you come tomorrow? I want to
eat your cooking.”
“…” Luca felt cornered. It was not that she did not want to, but she would have to re-do the research the next day.
It was likely that she would have to work overtime. “I would likely be busy with work tomorrow.”
If she worked overtime and cooked him oats, he would be starving when she arrived at the hospital.
“In that case…” Instantly, Tommy put on a bummed-out expression.
Luke noticed how sad he looked. He looked at Luca and said, “Didn’t you tell him?”
Luca was taken aback and replied, “Tell him what?”
Seeing her reaction, Luke knew that she had not told Tommy. He said, “After you’re discharged from the hospital,
you can eat her cooking every night.”
Tommy widened his eyes and said in disbelief, “Dad, is that true?”
“Yes, Ms. Luca has already agreed.” Luke looked at Luca.
Tommy looked up at Luca. His chubby face instantly became thinner because of his actions. true? Will I be able to
eat at your house in the future?”
“Mm, yes.” Luca nodded. ‘So this was what he was talking about.’
“Wow, great!” Tommy clapped his hands happily. “Ms. Luca, I’ll get better soon.”
Luca smiled upon seeing how energetic he was. She could not help but squeeze his little cheek.
She did not use any force and did it affectionately. “Okay, get better soon. I’ll go home now.”
“Goodbye, Ms. Luca!” Tommy waved his hand happily knowing that he would be able to eat dinner cooked by her
and see her every day.
Luca turned around to leave. Luke noticed her actions and had a playful expression on.
His index finger subconsciously tapped the arm of the sofa as he watched her leave.
Tommy ran up to him, smiled, and said, “Dad, I love you so much!”
Luke raised an eyebrow and asked, “Didn’t you love me before?”
“I loved you before but I love you more now. Dad, I’m so happy that you’ve arranged so that I can eat Ms. Luca’s
food every day!” Tommy said.
Luke laughed out loud when he saw how excited Tommy was.
He was also happy because it meant he could also see Luca every day. He seemed to have killed two birds with one
stone.
He made this arrangement for a purpose. He wanted more opportunities to get close to Luca. After all, he was very
suspicious of her current identity, but he did not expect Tommy to be so happy about it too.
Luke shook his head. He felt warm from Tommy’s happiness, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn
into a smile.
At that moment, a pair of mother and daughter appeared at the door of the ward.
The little girl pointed to Tommy and said, “Mom, this is it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe nanny did not know who they were so she immediately stepped forward and asked, “May I ask you who you
are?”
“Hello, we heard that Tommy is sick so we came here to visit.” The woman smiled gracefully and said while she
lifted the flask and fruit basket in her hand.
“You are…” The nanny wondered.
“My daughter and Tommy are classmates.” Wendy Jennings explained.
The nanny nodded in response and when she turned around, Tommy had already walked over. He looked at the
little girl and asked, “Lydia, why are you in the hospital?”
“I came to visit you,” Lydia replied without much joy in her expression.
Children hated hospitals.
Wendy looked at Tommy and was overjoyed when she saw the man sitting inside. She took Lydia’s hand and said,
“Tommy, I heard the teacher mention that you’re sick, so we came to visit. I even made some chicken soup for you.
It’s good for your health. Would you like to drink some?”
Tommy shook his head. He had Luca’s oats and was not interested in the chicken soup at all. “No, thank you. I’m
full.”
Wendy saw that her kind gesture was rejected, so she took the fruit basket and said, “It doesn’t matter. You can just
have some fruits, then. Tommy and Mr. Crawford, do you want to have some?”
“It’s alright, thank you.” Although Tommy did not like the two people in front of him, he was still polite.
Lydia had offended him in school and he was not happy to see her.
Wendy felt embarrassed when Tommy did not accept the food she prepared for him. She glanced at the man sitting
on the sofa. They were talking so loudly but he did not even look up once. She paused and said, “That’s okay. I’ll put
the fruit basket and chicken soup aside. Whenever you want to eat them, you can just take them out.”
With that, she took her daughter’s hand and walked in.
Luke looked away from the phone screen and frowned as he looked at the woman who walked in.
