"This isn't to my credit. Grandpa Rayne, it was you who was willing to cooperate with me," Luca replied with a smile.
She felt assured after knowing that his health had improved.
Old Man Rayne said proudly, "Yes. Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have someone to treat me so effectively."
Yesterday, Old Man Rayne had a video call with his friends who lived in the countryside. His friends were astonished
to see how energetic he looked and how he looked so much better than before. They even asked what supplements
did Old Man Rayne take.
Old Man Rayne proudly claimed that he had his own secret weapon, but it was not supplements.
His friends kept asking him, trying to find out what the secret weapon Old Man Rayne mentioned was.
However, Old Man Rayne did not tell them. He did not forget what Luke had told him. Luca's job was to do drug
research and development instead of helping others to nurse their health.
She was usually busy with work.
Thus, no matter how hard his friends tried to convince him, Old Man Rayne refused to tell them. He unknowingly
sided with Luca, whom he had only met not long ago when he was facing his old friends whom he had known for
years.
Luca smiled when she heard how satisfied Old Man Rayne was. The old man who loved to make her laugh had
returned.
“Grandpa Rayne, remember to take your medicine every day and give your feet a herbal foot bath. You'll certainly
feel much better.” Luca's hand gently rested on the old man's hands.

recovered a lot. I'll definitely continue taking the medicine. Don't worry about it,” Old Man Rayne promised.
"Okay. Let me make some adjustments to the medical prescription for you." Luca asked. Then, she turned to look at
the maid, Lucy. "Hi there, can you please get me a pen and a piece of paper?"
"Okay. A moment, please." Lucy turned around and took a piece of paper and pen out of the TV drawer and handed
them to Luca.
Luca wrote the adjusted dosage strength of the prescribed medicine on the paper and handed it to Lucy. "Please
follow the instructions on the paper after Old Man Rayne has finished his current batch of medicine." "Okay. I'll keep
it properly." Lucy took the paper from Luca and put the paper in the pill box so that they would not lose it.
“Luca, have some tea," said Old Man Rayne.
Luca picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.
Old Man Rayne smiled and looked at Luca, "Luca, why don't you play a game of chess with me?"
"Sure, but I'm not good at it," replied Luca. Her chess skills were the same as how they used to be. Little progress
had been made, and there was almost no improvement.
"Young people these days are humble. They claim that they're bad at playing chess, but they're better than old men
who have been playing chess for more than 10 years," said Old Man Rayne. He turned to look at Lucy and said,
"Please get the chessboard for me."
"Okay, Old Man Rayne. You have someone to play chess with today," Lucy replied with a smile.
They were not good at playing chess.
However, when Old Man Rayne was bored, he would ask them to play chess with him.
Wanda and Lucy were so bad at playing chess that Old Man Rayne thought it was not challenging at all.
Wanda had no choice but to teach Old Man Rayne to play chess online, but the old ma had only started to learn
how to use a computer when he was this old. His responses were slower, and he could hardly make his move within
the time limit. Hence, Old Man Rayne often lost.
Old Man Rayne would complain that playing chess online was boring and unfair after he lost many times. He
insisted on asking Wanda and Lucy to play chess with him.
It just so happened that Luca was here today. She could play chess with Old Man Rayne to kill time.
Lucy brought the chessboard down and placed it on the coffee table.
Luca and Old Man Rayne quickly set up the chessboard.
Old Man Rayne looked at the way Luca set up the pawns and smiled. "Luca, the way you set up the pawns is the
same as how my granddaughter sets them up."
Luca's heart skipped a beat. She had been living with Old Man Rayne since she was young. She even learned how to
play chess from him.
It was just that Luca could not master it, but she had her own habit of setting up the chessboard.
Old Man Rayne was familiar with that habit of hers.
Luca pretended as if it was nothing and said, "Really? I learned how to play chess online. The teacher taught us to
set it up this way."
"Yes. It's really alike. It's been a long time since I met her." Old Man Rayne heaved a sigh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Luca lost her memories, she seldom came to visit him. He heard that she was still living abroad, so there was
no way he could see her. He could not even keep in touch with her.
Even though Bianca was his granddaughter, judging from how kind and generous Luke was with them, Luke
seemed more like his grandchild.
"Isn't Ms. Wanda around here to keep you company..." Luca pretended not to understand what he meant.
"I'm not talking about Wanda. It's Bianca, my good granddaughter, whom I'm talking about." Old Man Rayne placed
the last pawn on the chessboard and started playing chess with Luca.
Luca focused on the chess game. She knew that Old Man Rayne was familiar with her chess strategies and habits.
She thought she might as well change her style and strategies of playing chess.
However, the consequence of changing her strategies was that she ended up losing quickly.
After the game, Old Man Rayne's smile deepened. “One more."
“Grandpa Rayne, I'm not good at it," said Luca. How she wished Luke was here.
Luke was better at playing chess. He would take time to make a move and play long hours of chess with Old Man
Rayne.
"It's okay. I heard Luke say that you were living abroad back then. It's normal for you to not understand the game.
You'll get familiar with it after playing for another few rounds," replied Old Man Rayne. He was pleased to have Luca
play chess with him. It did not matter how long it took for them to finish playing one round.
Old Man Rayne even had a feeling that he was back in the old days when he would ask the young Bianca to play
chess with him after she was done doing her homework.
