“Okay, Ms. Luca. How's Grandpa and Grandma doing?" Tommy asked again and glanced at Lanie and Rainie, who
were beside him.
They were worried about Jack and Queenie's health.
Luca was startled for a moment, and she asked, "How do you know about that?"
"It's on the news. We saw it," replied Tommy. "But those people only said that Grandpa and Grandma are injured.
They didn't go into the details."
"They're fine. Besides, the doctors and nurses in the hospital will be taking care of them. Don't worry," said Luca.
Tommy replied, then said to Lanie and Rainie, "Lanie, Rainie, did you hear that?"
"Yes." Lanie nodded.
Luca then found out that the kids were listening to their conversation beside the telephone. They cared about Jack
and Queenie.
"Stay at home and be good. Have your dinner first. I..." Luca glanced at the man who was busy driving beside her
and said, "Your daddy and I will be home soon."
"Okay, Ms. Luca. Daddy, drive safe," reminded Tommy.
"Okay." Luca waited for the other end of the line to hang up the call, and only then did she put down her phone.

coming from the other end of the phone.
"Yes. The news was reported on the TV," replied Luca. She knew Luke had been handling the matters.
She added, "But the reporter didn't mention the details."
"Yeah. The hospital didn't reveal anything," said Luke. The hospital Johann was currently working in protected the
VIP patients' privacy well.
Not everyone could enter the wards, and the patients in the wards would not disturb each other. Most of them were
from the upper class. They could not afford to be exposed by others. They were not interested in delving into
someone's private life either.
Hence, Luke did not have to worry about Jack and Queenie, who were staying in a VIP ward.
Leia was not allowed to enter the ward, and neither were the reporters.
"I wonder when they'll be able to recover and get discharged from the hospital," said Luca.
Even if a young man was healthy enough, it would take at least a few days for all the symptoms of the concussion
to go away.
Old people were much weaker. They might need a longer time to get enough rest and recover when they had a
concussion.
"I'm not sure. Leave it to Johann," said Luke.
Even though Jack and Queenie had recovered, Luke was planning to let them stay in the VIP ward for a few more
days before getting discharged.
It was not because he wanted to attract the public's attention. He wanted to give Leia the impression that Jack and
Queenie were in a bad shape.
The more Leia thought her parents' health was in a bad state, the happier she would be.
One would show the cloven hoof when one was happy.
Luke wanted Queenie to see what kind of person Leia was.
Jack had a soft spot for Queenie. Queenie would feel upset if she found out about it.
That was why he had been concealing these things from her, and he did not let her know how many ridiculous
things Leia had done behind their backs.
Luke did not stop Jack from doing that as he had nothing to do with Leia.
However, he knew he had to get rid of Leia. Moreover, to stop Queenie from worrying too much, he had to let her
know Leia's true colors and see how evil Leia was.
Luke drove on the road while coming up with a plan at the same time.
He had been pondering about it for quite some time, and they eventually arrived at the villa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Luke met the kids, he made his way up the stairs.
Tommy held Luca's hand, turned around, and watched Luke head upstairs from behind. Then, he asked, "Ms. Luca,
why does Daddy look so serious?"
"Does he?" Luca smiled and shook her head, comforting the anxious child. "Isn't your Daddy always like that?"
"I know, right..." Tommy pouted. Their father had always been stern and serious. He was strict with them too!
He still liked his mother the most.
Then, Tommy rested his face on the back of Luca's left hand and gazed at her bandaged right hand. He asked, "Ms.
Luca, does it hurt?"
Luca noticed that the three kids were staring at her hand. She smiled and shook her head. "It's not anymore."
It did not hurt when her kids cared so much for her.
"Ms. Luca, Aunt Neile made dinner for you. Would you like to have some?" Tommy asked again. He wanted to hold
her injured hand and blow on her wound. It would not hurt that much after blowing on it.
However, Tommy dared not to do so. He was worried that he would hurt her. Hence, Tommy gave up the thought of
doing so.
“Okay. I'll head to the kitchen to take a look," replied Luca. She let the child hold her hand as she walked into the
kitchen.
