After the children left, Luca sat even more upright because she knew that Old Master
Crawford had something to say.
She waited for him to speak.
Old Master Crawford noticed her sitting up straight. He shook his head and laughed. “Luca,
don't be nervous."
Luca thought to herself, 'How can I not be nervous in front of such a wise man like Old
Master Crawford when I'm guilty?'
"Old Master Crawford, did Mr. Jackman and Old Master Bourne come here for work-related
matters last time?" She wanted to confirm with Old Master Crawford.
Margaret was still in the police station's detention center.
It was not a serious offense, but she still had to be detained for 15 days as a punishment.
"Yes. They weren't here for Mrs. Jackman's situation but because Jackman Corporation
wants to work with T Corporation," said Old Master Crawford. There was no need for him
to hide.
"However, they went to the wrong person. Unlike Old Master Bourne, I'm no longer in
charge of the company, so I had them find Luke. I even prepared a new tea for you that
day. It's a shame that you left without taking a sip when they came."
Old Master Crawford thought that the new cup of tea had been wasted.
Luca grinned.
"If drinking tea at night wasn't bad for you, I would've served you some tea. Come over
whenever you're free during the day. The new tea leaves are still waiting for you," said Old
Master Crawford. When Luca was still Bianca, she loved tea with a refreshing taste.
She would have liked the taste of the new tea.
Luca nodded and replied, "Alright."
Old Master Crawford asked again, "By the way, Wanda has undergone surgery, right?
How's she doing?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe wanted to go visit, but Luke stopped him, saying that it was not time yet.
Old Master Crawford did not know when that would be, but since Luke said so, he had no
choice but to listen to him.
"Ms. Rayne is in good condition right now. Once the stitches are removed and she has
recovered, she'll be able to start chemotherapy in about half a month," said Luca.
However, the doctor had the final say on the exact date of the chemotherapy.
Everyone's physique was different, after all. Chemotherapy itself was painful enough, but
if it was done when the patient's wounds had not healed, it would not help with recovery.
“What did Johann say? Is it curable?" Old Master Crawford asked. The Rayne family was
small, and even Bianca did not actually have the last name Rayne.
"It's hard to say whether she can be cured because it depends on Ms. Rayne's immune
system. However, so far, Dr. Willa's surgery was a huge success, so with the treatment,
she may be cured." Luca guessed, but she could not guarantee what the future held.
Who could guarantee that the cancer cells would not relapse in the future?
Some people were born with genes that were prone to carry cancer cells, but that did not
mean they would definitely get cancer.
However, their chances of getting cancer were higher than other people, so it was
impossible to predict such things.
A healthy lifestyle and psychological state was the key to restoring Wanda's health.
"I hope everything will be alright. The Rayne family can't stand another blow. Old Master
Rayne contacted me the last two days, and he seemed restless. Wanda has been away for
too long, so he's been starting to feel uneasy," Old Master Crawford mentioned.
Luca nodded and kept those words in mind.
Old Master Crawford chatted with her about many other topics, and when the kids were
about to go to sleep, Luca went up to tell them a bedtime story before letting them go
back to their own bedrooms.
The kids were easily pleased.
They had been staying at the manor for the past few days, so, of course, they missed their
parents.
Although they missed them, they did not make a fuss. Luca brought over cookies she
made herself and even told them bedtime stories, so they went to sleep with full hearts.
When it was about ten o'clock, Luca left.
She sat in the back and watched Warren drive while wondering if she should mention to
Luke that she should drive herself when it got too late. That way, Warren could get off
work earlier.
Warren was a young man, so he had his own life too. He could not be on call 24 hours a
day just for that little amount of money...
Luca knew about Warren's responsibilities. Even if he was Gale and Rain's assistant, he
still had to start a family. If she continued letting Warren drive her to places, how was he
going to meet women or even date his current girlfriend?
She was not one to strike up conversations, so she had no clue about Warren's love life.
However, Luca did not intend to bring it up now because Luke was busy.
After returning to the mansion, Luca glanced at the opposite room and saw Luke working
inside. She went downstairs to heat up the leftover soup.
The soup was good for nourishing the body and had many other benefits too. Even Wanda
could have it after undergoing the operation.
Mrs. Lane too, after working long hours.
People like Luke, who stayed up late and did not get enough sleep, could definitely have it.
Luca carefully took the bowl of soup to the door of the bedroom. He did not close the door,
so she knocked on the door and went in before placing it on the desk.
"Soup?" Luke smelled the soup.
He had drunk a bowl of soup that night, and it was a bit bitter but still delicious.
"Yup, this soup is good for you. You should have more." Luca's eyes were glistening with
endless affection.

Even though Luke was not hungry, he had to drink it because Luca brought it over.
He picked it up and finished it.
Luca took the soup bowl from him and talked about her conversation with Old Master
Crawford today. "Old Master Crawford said that Mr. Jackman and Old Master Bourne went
to him to discuss working together."
"Mhm, they came to me in private as well," said Luke.
Luca was speechless as she did not think that Mr. Jackman had the audacity to go to Luke.
If she were in his place, she would never be able to do this. How could he throw away his
dignity for business?
She did not ask Luke about his decision because she knew that he would not work with
Lonnie, so she held the soup bowl and said, "Continue doing your work, then. I'll go wash
up."
She was not as busy as Luke, so she should rest as it was getting late.
Luke nodded.
Luca went downstairs to wash the dishes before going back up to take her pajamas and
wash up in the bathroom.
After showering, she walked out of the bathroom, sat in front of the dressing table, and
meticulously applied skincare products.
The children had been staying at the manor for the past few days, but she was still not
used to it. Usually, she would go to the children's rooms at this time to see if they had
gone to bed or kicked their blankets off the beds.
Luca recalled the kids clinging to her at the manor just now and hoped that the situation
could be resolved quickly so that she could bring the kids back home.
The children's every word showed their longing for her and Luke.
Even though they missed her, they did not make a fuss about following her back when she
left.
Luca looked at herself in the mirror as she thought about her three kids, and finally, she
thought about Nyla as well.
