After Luca left the CEO's office, she did not go anywhere else other than the elevator lobby. She was surprised when she saw Luke standing there waiting for the elevator. It had been quite some time, but the elevator had not arrived yet. It was then that she realized that they were not in T Corporation, and Luke did not have a personal elevator in the Watson Biopharmaceuticals building. It should not have been surprising that Luke would be waiting for some time. Luke must have heard her footsteps because she was not sneaking, and it would be very suspicious if she tried to run away. Luca had no other choice but to approach him. "Mr. Crawford." "Mm." Luke nodded. His eyes remained transfixed on the elevator display. The elevator had not arrived yet. Luca stood some distance away from him. She thought for a while and asked, "Is Tommy okay?" "I don't know. I'll have to bring him to the doctor," Luke said. He placed his hands in his pockets, and he looked cool and handsome.
Johann shuddered when he met Luke's gaze. He wagged his hand and said, "Never mind. I wouldn't dare to take your money." When Luke heard that, he took Tommy's hand and left the room. Johann shrugged and shook his head. "Why does he look like he's never satisfied? I don't get it. He's already married, but he's so scary." The nurse captain happened to walk into the room. When she heard Johann talking to himself, she smiled and asked him, "Which married man is so scary?" "It's nothing." Johann resumed his serious expression. "Is there anything?" "The patient in Room 36 is complaining that he's feeling unwell. Are you free to check on him?" The nurse captain asked. "Mm." Johann hung the stethoscope around his neck and left the room. Luke brought Tommy back to his car. "I'll send you back home." "No, Daddy!" Tommy did not want to go back to Crawford Manor. "I want to accompany you, Daddy." Luke was about to start the car when he heard that. He turned his head to look at To
"Don't worry, Ms. Luca. I didn't sneak out this time. Daddy brought me here!" Tommy smiled sweetly. "Ha, I hope you won't do that again!" Luca took the opportunity to discipline the child. She hoped that he would not run away from home again. If he ran away again, he might not be so lucky. "Don't worry, Ms. Luca, I won't!" Tommy reassured her. Luca remembered that Luke said that Tommy was sick. She placed her palm on his forehead but did not think that he was having a fever. Tommy thought that Luca's hand was warm, and it had given him an inexplicable sense of security. "What are you doing, Ms. Luca?" he asked. "Aren't you feeling unwell? I thought you'd be having a fever," Luca said. Tommy shook his head. "I lied to Daddy. I'm feeling very healthy!" Luca was relieved when she heard that, though she pretended to glare at him. "You're such a naughty boy. You shouldn't lie to your Daddy." "I wouldn't be able to meet you if I hadn't lied to Daddy, Ms. Luca," Tommy said m
However, when Luke heard Tommy's suggestion, he was suddenly interested in trying Luca's cooking. He looked at Luca and asked her, "Would it trouble you?" Luca was about to say that it would trouble her very much, but Tommy spoke before she could. "Ms. Luca says that it's okay as long as you agree." "…" Luca was speechless. The child was always faster than her. "Alright, sorry to impose on you then," Luke said. "…" She felt as though the two were ganging up on her. Cooking was not something hard for her, especially after Tommy stayed over in her house. She had regained her confidence in her cooking skills. However, she hoped that Tommy and Luke would not come into contact with the other people from the Island of Despair. She was afraid that Amur might give away something if he knew who Luke was, even though Amur might be worried about her. She did not want to put Nyla in danger just to satisfy her selfish needs. "Yay!" Tommy clapped his hands and cheered. "I h
Luca shook her head helplessly and said, "Didn't you promise me that you won't run away from home anymore?" Tommy stuck his tongue out. He could be a little reckless whenever he was anxious. "I was just saying it for fun, Ms. Luca." He took her hand and rubbed it against his cheek. Luca could not help but smile when she saw how Tommy was acting. She patted the boy's head. Luke sat in the car and observed their interactions. There was a motherly glow in Luca's gaze. That expression could not be faked. Luke could sense that Luca's feelings were genuine. Tommy looked to his right, and his eyes sparkled. "Daddy's car is here, Ms. Luca." Luca looked at the car that was slowly approaching them and nodded. "Mm." Tommy moved to the back while Luca helped him open the door. After Tommy went inside, Luca prepared to sit beside him when he said, "You should sit next to Daddy, Ms. Luca." "Huh?" Luca glanced at the side passenger seat. She felt a little awkward. The side passeng
Tommy looked at Luke, who seemed to be lost in thought. "What are you thinking, Daddy?" he asked. "Nothing." Luke did not tell him about his confused feelings. He had only met Luca for only a few days, but why did she seem so familiar? Tommy did not ask him any further questions. He returned to his seat and waited for Luca to come back. Wagging his legs, he mumbled to himself, "I wonder what would Ms. Luca cook for us today?" That made Luke think of the same question too. Meanwhile, Luca went into the supermarket and quickly placed fresh food ingredients into her basket. She knew that Tommy and Luke were both picky eaters, so she had to be meticulous. She devised a recipe as she picked up the food ingredients. After that, she realized that there should be no seasonings or spaghetti in the apartment, so she added those to the shopping basket. Luca approached the checkout counter with a full shopping basket. It was the evening rush hour, so the queue was very long. By t
Luca was surprised. She had not put too much thought into how she arranged her items, and she had done what she always did. Three years ago, Luke would occasionally step into the kitchen to watch her cook. He had even asked her about how she arranged the items, and she had patiently explained it to him… "Also?" Luca was flustered for a second, but she soon composed herself. She turned her head to look at him. "Have you seen someone else arrange her items like this?" "My wife," Luke said. "She used to arrange her items like this." Luca nodded. That was how she had arranged her items since she was young. Even though she had not stepped into the kitchen for three years, she could remember how to do it when faced with a variety of items. "I learned this method from the Internet. This way, I can efficiently find the things I want, and that'll help me cook faster. Not only that, but I also arrange my apparatus like this when I'm in the lab. I won't have to waste time looking for th
"Your food is amazing, Ms. Luca!" Tommy said cheerfully as he picked up a pork chop. Luca smiled and stole a glance at Luke. He was eating a fish fillet, and she could not discern his expression. She could tell if Luke was enjoying the food or not. Luke ate silently without saying a word. Not speaking while eating had been a good habit of his. Luca silently nibbled on a piece of broccoli. The only sounds around the dining table were from Tommy eating loudly. When the father and son fought over the last fish fillet, Luca could feel the rivalry between them. "There's more in the kitchen," she said, not expecting that the dish would be so popular. Luke was not going to fight his son for a fish fillet. He pulled his hand back, and Tommy gleefully took the fish fillet away. Luca hastily picked up the plate. "I'll go and get some more for you, Mr. Crawford." Luke shot a glance at her bowl and said. "Don't worry about it. You've been eating only vegetables." "Huh?" Luca re
