“She said that Mother was looking for me." Yuri did not try to hide it.
Louis had a pensive look on his face but immediately went back to greeting guests with a smile when he noticed
them walking toward him.
Yuri was keeping an eye on Margaret while standing beside Louis.
Margaret's eyes were bloodshot as she stood in the corner without talking to anyone.
After a while, Yuri noticed that her expression instantly changed when she glanced at her phone and left in a hurry.
Yuri said to Louis, "Mrs. Jackman left."
Louis walked toward the door and saw Margaret leaving before whispering, "Did you tell her?"
"What are you talking about? I've been with you the entire time, so how could I have talked to her?" Yuri denied.
She just wanted to save Margaret some face and not let Luke cause trouble in her house.
Besides, this was their new home, and they just moved in today. How could they let the police come over?
Louis did not say a word.
On the other hand...
Luke brought Luca and the children back home. When Aunt Neile saw that they came back so soon, she asked out
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof curiosity, "Ms. Craw, why are you back so early? Has Mr. Louis' party ended?"
"Almost," said Luke before looking toward Luca. "Go up first."
"Alright." Luca nodded and took Tommy and Rainie upstairs with Lanie following behind them.
"Mr. Crawford, what happened?" Aunt Neile noticed Luke's unusual expression as if something had angered him
earlier.
Luke was usually rather cold at home, so he seldom showed any expression to the maids. He never got angry too.
"It's nothing. If someone comes over later, don't open the door and inform me first," Luke went upstairs after he
finished speaking.
Luca sat in the living room upstairs with the three children, and Rainie carried the first aid kit to Luca.
After hearing footsteps, Luca and the kids looked toward the stairs.
“Daddy, you can help Ms. Luca apply medication," said Rainie as she walked toward him with the first- aid kit.
Luke walked over and Tommy sensibly made space for him.
Luca shook her head and said, "I've already applied medication, but they won't listen and asked me to apply it
again."
Lanie even offered to help her take care of her wound earlier.
She said that she had already applied an ointment for burns at Louis' house, but the kids were still worried and
insisted on applying the ointment for her.
"They're worried about you. Let me see the wound," said Luke as he patted her thigh after sitting down.
Luca was embarrassed to do so in front of the kids, so she shook her head. "It's fine, it's just blistering.
It'll go away on its own."
She refused to move her leg, so Luke lifted her foot up and carefully examined her burnt ankle.
Just like she said, there were blisters.
Luke frowned as little clusters of blisters formed on the reddened area. "Are you sure you don't need to go to the
hospital?"
"They're just blisters. They'll fade on their own, so there's no need to go to the hospital." Luca felt that it would be
too much of a hassle to go to the hospital for such a small injury.
"..." Luke frowned while staring at her wound.
"Daddy, the blisters will disappear on their own," said Lanie while glancing at Luca's ankle as he had read about how
to deal with minor burns in a medical encyclopedia before.
The content in the book was exactly as Luca said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alright." Luke took out the ointment and applied another layer of it for her.
Luca blushed as she watched Luke use a cotton swab to gently apply the ointment on her ankle as if he was trying
to lessen her pain.
It was an intimate touch.
Not to mention, she was even more embarrassed with the kids surrounding her.
"Daddy, you don't have to apply it in such a thick layer." Lanie watched Luke apply the ointment carefully and
reminded him when he applied too much.
Luke stopped and put Luca's foot down before bending down to help her put her shoes on until he heard her say,
"I'll do it myself."
Luke raised his eyebrows, but he still let her do it herself.
Luca put on her shoes.
"Daddy, I'll go to my room to read," said Lanie, relieved that nothing bad happened.
"Alright," Luke agreed. They were supposed to have extracurricular classes today, but he asked for leave because
of Louis' party, so now, they did not have anything to do.
"Then I'll go read too!" Rainie said with a smile. She took Tommy's hand and blinked. "Tommy, do you want to go
read in the room?"
"Sure!" Tommy knew what that look meant, so he followed Rainie away while skipping.
