Chapter 3274 A Husband Like Luke Is Exactly What You Should Be Looking For Aunt Neile paused for a moment before continuing, "We don't have any at home, Ms. Craw. Are you craving sgrapes? I can go get snow. Which kind would you like?" *Concord grapes,* replied Luca.

*Alright, I'll go get them now." Aunt Neile nodded and glanced at Queenie. Seeing how peaceful it was, she guessed Queenie might stay for lunch. She decided to buy extra groceries. Hence, she grabbed her shopping basket and keys before heading out.

After Aunt Neile left, Luke turned off all the house's surveillance cameras. He double-checked to ensure there were no other listening devices and then nodded to Luca.

Queenie let out a sigh when she noticed how cautious they were. "It must be hard on you, being so careful every tyou're about to talk about something." "It's nothing. We're used to it." Luca smiled and sat down beside Queenie, *Letsee if you're hurt anywhere," replied Queenie, looking Luca over.

Luca had not bled in the car accident, but Queenie noticed a bruise on her forehead. "Your forehead is bruised." Luca instinctively touched the bruise and explained, "I accidentally hit it." "You've really worried me," said Queenie, finally feeling at ease now that she saw Luca was alright.

When she first heard about the accident, even though both Luca and Luke had assured her that everything was fine, Queenie could not help but worry. They only shared the good news, never the bad, leaving her anxious all night.

She tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep until Jack persuaded her to take a melatonin pill, which finally helped her drift off.

Even then, her sleep was filled with bad dreams, so she cover early this morning.

*You don't need to worry. With Luke taking care of me, everything's fine," Luca reassured her, holding her hand. At the mention of Luke, Queenie thought of Karen and looked at him. "Luke, I've heard about everything." Luke knew his mother-in-law was about to give him a hard time.

Luca glanced at him and replied, "Maybe you should head upstairs and take care of your work first?" However, Queenie interjected, "What? You're defending him already, just because I want to say a few words?" "I'm not defending him. It's just that he hasn't been to the office these past couple of days because he's been taking care of me. I'm sure he has a lot of work piled up," explained Luca. She was not defending him, just concerned.

She also knew what Queenie wanted to say.

However, in this case, the blreally did not lie with Luke.

The reason he had not involved the police in the kidnapping was partly her decision too. It was done out of consideration that Nina was about to get married.

*Can I just say a few quick words and then I'll let him get back to work?" asked Queenie. She felt comforted by how much her daughter was standing up for Luke.

At least their marriage seemed strong.

Luca, feeling a bit helpless, shook Queenie's hand.

Luke said, "Go ahead, Mom. I'm listening." Queenie patted Luca's hand and said, "Alright, I'll be brief. It won't take long." She then turned to Luke. "Luke, you didn't handle this situation well. I heard from Jack that Karen kidnapped Luca, and you had the chance to turn her over to the police, but you didn't.

"Instead, you gave her the opportunity to harm Luca, and that's something I'm really unhappy about.

*Of course, I also understand it's not entirely your fault. I've heard that Karen has mental health issues, so no one wanted this to happen. But you didn't act as decisively as you usually do, and that led to your wife getting hurt. "That's on you. I don't want to see something like this happen again." "I understand, Mom. I promised you that I would always protect Luca, and I'll keep that promise." "Good. Go ahead and get to work." Queenie was pleased with his attitude.

Luca felt helpless.

Still, Luke remained seated, showing no intention of leaving.

Luca nudged him, "Why aren't you going to work?" "There's nothing urgent. I'd rather stay here and chat with you two," replied Luke. He knew that if he left to work while his mother-in-law was visiting, it would seem rude.

Luca turned to look at Queenie.

Queenie waved her hand dismissively. "Go on, get to work. If you stay here, we won't be able to have our mother-daughter talk." Luke looked a bit embarrassed.

"Go on, we'll just chat here. You should get to work," Luca urged him.

Luke was left with no choice, so he finally headed to work.

After he went upstairs, Queenie exclaimed, "Seeing how much you two care for each other puts my mind at ease." "That's not quite right." Luca shook her head.

Queenie asked, "What's not right?" "You should say seeing how well he takes care ofputs your mind at ease." Luca laughed. "Yesterday, he hired a caretaker, but he ended up doing everything himself, making the caretaker feel unnecessary." "Oh? What makes you say so?" asked Queenie.

"He basically did everything for me. The caretaker was just there and didn't have to do anything. Luke looked more like the caretaker," explained Luca.

Queenie nodded in agreement. "A husband like Luke is exactly what you should be looking for, someone who takes care of everything himself. That's how you know he really loves his wife." She was growing more and more satisfied with her son-in-law.

No matter how she looked at it, Luke doted on Luca in every way.

Luca nodded in agreement.

Indeed, when choosing a husband, one should choose someone like Luke Crawford. She was grateful she had chosen him back then.

Queenie stayed for lunch before heading home.

After everyone left, Aunt Neile was the first to let out a sigh of relief.

*Aunt Neile, what's wrong?" Luca asked with curiosity.

Aunt Neile replied, "I was so scared. I was really worried Mrs. Norman would notice something." Luca and Luke exchanged a knowing smile.

*She didn't notice anything, right?" Aunt Neile asked again.

*She probably didn't," Luca reassured her.

After lunch, Luca took her medication and was about to go upstairs to rest. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang.

When she picked it up, she saw that it was a call from Abel. Her heart sank as she answered.

"Where are you?" asked Abel.

"You've been watchingall this time, so how could you not know where I am?" answered Luca.

Earlier on their way home, Luke had told her something.

Percy had discovered that a large sum of money had been transferred from Pierre's account recently, not to a hospital or any merchant but to a suspicious account. It took Adrian a long tto track it down, but they finally found it. They suspect that the account is connected to the Island of Despair.

When Luca heard this, she suddenly recalled spast events. She had managed to deceive Karen, who seemed to believe her at the time.

Then, in an instant, Karen somehow knew she had been tricked. Perhaps Pierre was still in contact with Abel, and they were even working together.

It was possible that Abel was the one who told Pierre about having her treat him. Everything she was dealing with now might be linked to Abel.

After a brief silence on the other end, Luca said, "Thanks to lunatic, yo you, that m atic, Karen, rear-ended my car. Mr. Abel, I'm a patient now. What could you possibly want with a patient?" X
