Luca shot a glance at Luke.He made an inviting gesture. She turned her head and walked into the villa.The villa was not big, but it was furnished delicately. It was enough for the two of them to live here.Luca looked at the front yard that was planted with the flowers that Wanda loved. She could also see some fruits and vegetables planted in the backyard. She turned her head and glanced at Luke. She was grateful for what he had done for the Rayne family.Wanda could never afford to buy such a small villa. It must be Luke who bought the small villa for them. She was no longer around, but he still treated her family kindly. Both of them walked into the living room together. Luke had informed Wanda yesterday that he would be bringing someone here to check on the old man’s health. Hence, she started preparing delicacies from early in the morning.Wanda smiled while looking at them, but she was startled for a moment she saw Luca. She thought Luke would bring an old expert he
Wanda blinked her eyes. She refused to believe what Luca said. Could taking some herbal medicine help recover Old Man Rayne’s health.This was way too iffy for her…She asked, “Will my dad be physically stronger after taking the herbal medicine? But we’ve visited several doctors throughout the years, and we even went to see the specialists in Japan. All of them told us that he’s suffering from a chronic illness, and there’s no cure for this. He can only take some medicine to alleviate the symptoms. It can’t be healed.”“Indeed, his illness can’t be healed, but my prescription will make Old Man Rayne feel much better,” replied Luca. She did not blame Wanda for doubting her.The medical knowledge that Shanks taught her was abundant, and most of it could not be found or learned in the medical schools out there.Some of the prescriptions could not be obtained from the market today, so many had no idea how good the effects were. Moreover, many people swindled money from patients in t
The maid walked to the backyard and saw Luca pressing on her chest as though she was feeling uncomfortable. She asked, "Ms. Craw, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"“I’m fine,” Luca replied. She looked at the maid and smiled, then noticed that she was carrying a basket. There were some fresh tomatoes as well as other fruits and vegetables that were currently in season. She asked, “Are these planted in the backyard?”“Yes. Ms. Rayne is usually free, so she’d plant some flowers in the front yard and fruits and vegetables in the backyard. Look at how fresh the vegetables are. These were all planted by her. No pesticides were added. They’re safe and healthy to eat,” replied the maid while showing the fruits and vegetables in the basket to Luca.Luca asked, "Can I take a look at the backyard?"“You’re the guest. Make yourself at home. But there’s a pond in the backyard, so do be careful. Don’t fall in,” the maid reminded her.Luca nodded and headed to the backyard.There were a
Luca looked at Marie and suddenly thought of Jean.A leopard never changed its spots. They really suited each other. They behaved this way before they landed themselves in prison and were still the same after they got out. They took everything for granted. They refused to put in the effort to make a living and blamed others for their misfortune. She remembered that she still addressed a person like Marie as her sister back then. Now, she felt disgusted at the thought of it…“I’m their guest, that’s why I can come in. But you’re not, so what makes you think that you can come in here? The owner of the villa doesn’t want you here. You shouldn’t be messing around here. You’re going to end up getting kicked out even if you do manage to come in. Do you find this fun?” Marie was startled by the bunch of words that Luca said. She did not expect a guest to be so good at lecturing someone else.“You!” Marie clenched her fists.Luca said, “Ms. Marie, it’s just a coincidence that you have
Luca looked at Marie, who seemed to have lost her mind and was desperate to get in. It was as if she could stay here forever once she got here.People like her were the most pathetic.Luca felt sorry for everything that Marie had gone through alone, but that was no excuse to be merciful. She had no intention of letting Marie stay here either. Marie had not changed even a little after being in prison for years. If she stayed here, she would definitely disturb Old Man Rayne’s peace.She heard footsteps behind her. Luca turned around and looked at Luke. When he walked out of the door, he had already heard Marie’s voice from afar. Jason had mentioned to him before that Marie was often seen wandering around the ground floor of T Corporation. She was looking for a chance to get into the building. The reason why she wanted to get in was simple. It was the same reason she showed up at the villa's entrance. Marie's eyes brightened when she saw Luke as if she had seen her savior. Sh
"She's the kind of person who doesn't give up easily. Don't worry. Leave the rest to me. I'll arrange it," Luke said. He would deal with this matter.Wanda looked at him as her eyes gleamed. She nodded and thought of Bianca.Poor Bianca. No one knew her whereabouts now. Moreover, her identity had been stolen by some impostor. Wanda felt a little wistful. The maid came in and she snapped back into reality. She said, “Let’s start preparing lunch.”“Alright.” The maid nodded and headed into the kitchen.Wanda no longer thought about Bianca. Two more people were joining them for lunch today. She planned to help in the kitchen, so she said, "Luke, I'll be helping out in the kitchen. Tea is ready. You and Ms. Craw can just make yourselves at home.”“Sure. I’ll go upstairs and continue the chess game with Grandpa,” said Luke as he headed to the stairs. Luca was hanging around in the garden. She still could not calm herself down after seeing her grandfather and aunt again.They were
After Old Man Rayne went downstairs, the four of them sat together at the dining table.Old Man Rayne was smiling the entire time because of Luke's arrival and Luca giving him hope. While they were eating, he talked about his experience living in Japan.Luca did not say much and just listened carefully.She had missed out on time with them, so when Old Man Rayne talked about the past, she listened carefully and remembered everything.After dinner, Luke sat with Luca for a while before deciding to leave.Luca did not say anything and left with him.After Wanda sent them off, she got back into the house. Old Man Rayne was drinking tea comfortably."Have you seen them off?" Old Man Rayne asked."Yeah." Wanda looked solemn. She sat on the sofa and refilled Old Man Rayne’s cup of tea. "Dad, I have something to say."Old Man Rayne noticed her serious expression and asked, "Do you want to talk about Ms. Craw?"Although Old Man Rayne was in poor health, he was still smart and could i
Luca heard Queenie's cries, causing her heart to ache. She said softly, "Don't cry. What's the matter?""It's Leia. Leia’s illness has gotten worse." Queenie sniffled and said, "She didn't follow your orders to take your medicine. She’s been secretly flushing your medicine down the toilet, choosing to take the medicine prescribed by another doctor instead. The other doctor’s medicine didn’t have the same effect and she ended up in bed, feeling uncomfortable. The family doctor came just now. He said that if things get worse, she’ll have to go to the hospital for extensive treatment so I’m hoping that you could do something to help.”The medicine that Luca previously prescribed to Leia was effective. Previously, the doctor sighed in front of them and said that the medicine was amazing. He then immediately discharged Leia from the hospital.After being discharged from the hospital, Jack Norman heard that it was Luca's medicine that helped Leia, so he praised Luca and Leia got angry.
