"Aunt Queenie, good morning." Luca looked at the experimental equipment not far away from her. She was tired from doing experiments last night and fell asleep on the bed in the maid's room."Luca, did I wake you up?" Queenie felt a little bad when she heard Luca’s hoarse voice. As it was almost in the afternoon, Queenie did not expect that Luca had not woken up yet. Queenie had always been reluctant to disturb others, so she was a little embarrassed to have disturbed Luca's rest."No, I'm already up," Luca said. She stood up and walked to the experiment table, then put the experimental specimens away.She was researching the drug from the Island of Despair. However, without the specific drug and only a diluted version on hand, it was a little difficult for her to analyze the ingredients and content.After she was assigned the additional task, she knew that she had to hurry up and finish her research.Even if she could not get out of the grasps of the Island of Despair, she hoped
Queenie became anxious as she listened to the conversation between the two. "What the hell is going on here?"Luca noticed that Leia was avoiding the topic, so she said, "Did you abuse drugs? Abusing drugs can be very harmful to the liver and kidneys.""I didn't." Luca was being vague, and Leia denied it without a second thought.Luca saw through the expression on her face. "Your liver and kidney failure is caused by substance abuse in the past. As for what the substance is, I can't determine it. After all, there are so many types. Although you’ve quit, it has caused an impact on your body. Your body is already weakened because of gynecological problems, so the other issues came out all at once following the substance abuse."Leia listened to her and clenched her hands into fists as she gripped the sheets tightly.Luca was right. She did depend on painkillers for several years in the United States. As for why this happened, it was entirely due to the physical pain caused by her ex
Johann watched the doctor leave and sighed. After the past few incidents, he discovered that what made Luca unique was not just her wealth of medical knowledge but she was also meticulous in her observation. "Dr. Craw, if the hospital wants to hire you as a medical consultant, what annual salary would you be expecting?""Dr. Park, stop fooling around. How can I be a medical consultant at my level? " Luca shook her head and thought that Johann was just joking.After she left the hospital, Luca got a call from Tommy."Ms. Luca, what are you doing now?" Tommy's voice was sweet and childlike. Even if she could not see him, her heart melted when she heard his voice."Nothing. What's the matter?" Luca's voice softened.Tommy smiled and said, "Ms. Luca, I want to invite you over to my house.""Visit your house?" Luca looked at the cars coming and going on the road. She thought about it and walked to the taxi stand."Yes, Great-grandpa said that you saved me and have helped me a lot, so
"Ms. Craw, sit. Don't stand." Old Master Crawford greeted her."Okay, thanks." Luca nodded and sat on the single-seater sofa. She was a little nervous when faced with Old Master Crawford.Tommy got down from her arms and sat beside her."Ms. Luca, have some fruit." He greeted her like he was a little adult."Thank you, but I don't want to have any. You can eat it," Luca said and took another glance around. Old Master Crawford, the butler, and Tommy were the only ones in the living room.Seeing that she did not want to have any fruit, Tommy was worried that his Great-grandpa's seriousness had scared her.Tommy thought about it and looked at Old Master Crawford. "Great-grandpa, can I take Ms. Luca upstairs? Lanie and Rainie are waiting for Ms. Luca to continue telling the story."When he heard what Tommy said, Old Master Crawford knew that Tommy was worried that he was scaring Luca. He saw through everything but he did not say anything. "Go. I have someone over for chess. Don't go
Luca's story was rather long. She would not be able to finish it even if she stayed all day. The kids listened carefully and sat around her on the carpet like she was a kindergarten teacher playing games with children.When the butler walked in with some juice and snacks, a look of disbelief flashed across his face.Tommy, who was always the most active, was sitting there quietly. He did not cry nor make a fuss. He looked obedient and even...focused.The only thing that he could focus on was cartoons but he was so focused on listening to Luca telling a story at that moment.The butler admired her in his heart.Luca noticed the butler walk in with something in his hands so she stopped telling the story and smiled at him.Tommy was fascinated with the story and was curious when she stopped all of a sudden. "Ms. Luca, what happened next?""Ms. Craw, Young Masters and Young Lady, the chef prepared some juice and snacks. Come and have some." The butler walked over to them with a tr
When Luke's phone rang, he was looking at a man who was talking while pinching his throat.The phone vibrated. He stood up and walked to the balcony to answer it. "Hello.""Young Master Luke, when will you be back?" The butler's voice entered his ears.Luke glanced at the situation in the living room and said, "Don't wait for me to have lunch. I have something to do today.""Is that so? Ms. Craw is here. Are you sure you can't come back?" the butler asked."Luca?" Luke frowned and lowered his voice. "Why is she in Crawford Manor?"Based on what he knew about Luca's temperament, she would not visit at random."Old Master Crawford invited her. He thinks that Ms. Craw has helped a lot, so he specially invited her to be a guest," the butler replied. Even though he was not with Luke in person, judging from the change in his voice and tone, he seemed very unhappy that Luca was visiting the Crawford family."I can't go back until this afternoon. Please help me entertain her while I’m
The butler heard her acerbic choice of words and thought that it was not how someone from the Crawford family should act. He sighed in his heart when he thought of the late Zachary Crawford. The two most important women in his life seemed noble and dignified, but in fact, the two did not have the best characters.Their guest was still around. Although she had already gone upstairs, Susan should not have said these words.The butler spoke up for Luca, "Ma'am, you can't say that. She and the children are fated, and Ms. Craw was invited by Old Master Crawford, so please don't say such things."Susan picked up a piece of watermelon with a fork and gave the butler a disdainful look. "Why can’t I say that? What's wrong with telling the truth? She can't hear me anyway. Tell me what I said that was wrong. Correct me if you can."The butler did not dare to say anything. He quietly tidied the things on the table.If Old Master Crawford had heard what she said, she would have been scolded. H
Luca coaxed Rainie to sleep, and after a while, she noticed that Rainie's breathing had become even.Rainie had fallen asleep.Luca moved back slightly, and Rainie did not react. Seeing this, she got out of bed.She had lived in the manor, so she knew about the daily schedule.Luke was not at home and she knew that Old Master Crawford had the habit of taking naps too. It was the children’s time to nap so the butler and maids would not come upstairs as they did not want to disturb them. It was the best time for her to explore Luke's study.Luca gently opened the bedroom door. She looked back the moment she opened the door and found that Rainie was still asleep.Luke's study was in front. As long as she walked in without being noticed, her plan would succeed because she knew the password to the safe. She did not need to waste a lot of time deciphering it.Luca gently closed Rainie's bedroom door and walked toward Luke's study."Ms. Craw?" When she arrived at the door of the study
