"That's why they contacted you." Luca was wondering a moment ago. Did she not give the police her contact
number?
Why did they have to call Luke first before reaching her?
It was Luke who told them to do so.
No wonder there were hardly any calls coming in these days. It had been quiet.
Luca sat down in front of the dressing table. She took the bandage and medicine out of the drawer, preparing to
change her wound dressing. She did not get to change it last night as Luke was teasing her.
"Are you changing the wound dressing?" Luke put on a collared shirt and understood what Luca was doing when he
saw the bandage.
"Yes." Luca nodded and untied the gauze bandage.
Round and round, the bandage covering her wound was slowly unfastened. The wound with stitches was exposed to
the air.
Luca carefully observed her wound.
The sutured wound was already full of scabs because of the poison in Luca's body that sped up the healing of the
wound. Also, she applied some medicine to it.
"There are scabs already." Luke grabbed her hand and glanced at it.
Some of the dark red scabs on her hand were already falling off. An ordinary person would not have been able to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtheal that fast.
Luke asked, "Did I overlook yesterday?"
"No, you didn't. It's almost healed." Luca knew Luke was talking about the scabs that were almost falling off.
After all, her wounds heal faster than the others.
Luca withdrew her hand and applied some medicine to it.
"This isn't what the hospital gave you," said Luke. He saw the medicine Johann prescribed for Luca to clean her
wound that day. It was not what Luca was using now.
"I made this." Luca picked up the gauze bandage after applying the medicine.
"Let me help you." Luke grabbed the gauze bandage in Luca's hands and helped her to bandage her hand.
Luke was worried that he would accidentally press on her wound. He observed the expressions on Luca's face when
he was bandaging it. After that, he tied a bow with the bandage.
Luca could not help but laugh when she saw such a pretty bow, “I didn't know you could tie such a pretty bow. It
looks so much prettier than the way I bandage my hand single-handedly."
"Rainie loves to wear dresses. She refused to let the others tie her bow on her dress back then. She insisted on
asking me to tie it for her. Practice makes perfect. The bow gets prettier as I get familiar with it," explained Luke.
Luke remembered that something had happened to Bianca at that time. Rainie was feeling depressed all day. She
insisted on Luke helping her to tie the bow when she wore a dress back then.
If the bow was not pretty enough, she would put on a gloomy expression on her face that resembled Bianca.
Therefore, Luke would put in some effort when he was tying the bow on Rainie's dress even though he was in a bad
mood. That was why the bow he tied now looked perfect and pretty.
Luca walked out of the bedroom after she changed her wound dressing. She went to the kids' room to check on
them. After making sure that they were awake, she headed downstairs.
Aunt Neile and the maid had breakfast prepared downstairs in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford. Good morning, Ms. Craw. Breakfast is ready." Aunt Neile smiled and greeted them
when she saw them coming down the stairs.
"Good morning, Aunt Neile. Thank you for preparing breakfast for us." Luca looked at the dishes served on the
dining table. It must have taken Aunt Neile and the maid a long time to prepare these.
Luca's hand was injured. It was right for Luke to ask one of the maids in Crawford manor to come over and assist
Aunt Neile.
"It's my job. What would you like to drink?" Aunt Neile asked.
"Please get me a glass of soy milk please," answered Luca. Even though she did not have enough rest yesterday,
she could not drink coffee now.
"I'd like to have a cup of coffee," said Luke.
"Alright. Have your breakfast first. Let me prepare them for you," replied Aunt Neile. She walked into the kitchen
and prepared the soy milk and coffee for them.
After a while, the three kids who had cleaned themselves up made their way down the stairs. They sat at the dining
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtable, having their breakfast.
Tommy asked, "Daddy, you went to visit grandpa and grandma last night, right?"
"Yes." Luke tore off a bite-sized piece of bread and slowly chewed it.
"How are they?" Tommy asked again. He initially thought of waiting for Luke and Luca to come home before he
went to sleep last night, but they came home late. Tommy was urged to go to bed. There was no sign of them
coming back even after he fell asleep.
"They are getting well. Don't worry. I'll take you to visit them when they get discharged from the hospital," replied
Luke. He took a sip of the coffee. Aunt Neile learned how to make coffee from the barista working in a cafe. The
coffee she made tasted good, but the coffee Luca made was much better than hers.
"The adults love to tell us to wait." Tommy took a bite of his bread and turned to look at Luca. "Ms. Luca, we're
worried about grandpa and grandma. Can you take us to the hospital?"
Luca would usually fulfill the kids' requests.
However, it was not the time to do so. She replied awkwardly, “They need more rest now. I'll take you there when
they get discharged from the hospital and return home."
"Ms. Luca, you must have discussed it with Daddy, right!" Tommy thought Luca would say yes when he asked for
her help.
He did not expect to get rejected.
Luca smiled helplessly.
Rainie placed a piece of bread in front of Tommy, and said, "Tommy, your favorite homemade ham and cheese
bread."
