Luca listened to the man’s words and frowned. “Do you think I’m deliberately making things difficult for the two of you?” “You shouldn’t blame us for what happened just now. We didn’t know there were people without tattoos on the Island of Despair… Besides, there’s no way you can prove your true identity, right?” The woman hoped that Luca could have mercy on them and stop putting them on the spot.Luca crossed her arms and said in a cold voice, “I’m not a sensitive person. And I know the two of you are just being extra careful in order to survive. Everyone here is trying to stay alive. Why should I make things difficult for you? You can bring these herbs and wild grasses back to the Island of Despair if you refuse to believe what I said. Whatever Dr. Shanks says upon receiving the herbs will have nothing to do with me.” The man and the woman exchanged glances with each other. They began to believe that Luca was not deliberately putting them on the spot. It seemed that they had bee
Luke, who was on the other end of the line, remained silent for a few seconds. He knew Luca was only looking for an excuse. Whatever she was doing now must have something to do with the Island of Despair. Luke did not ask anyone to track her down because Rain and Gale were busy with their work. He could not trust the others. Luke felt a little annoyed for not being able to ask someone to follow Luca after knowing that Luca was doing something the Island of Despair had instructed her to. Then, he asked, “What happened to Amur?”“Nothing. He’s recuperating his health lately and needs some herbs. It’s a little difficult to find them. Someone called me and I went to take a look,” said Luca. She looked down and thought that she used to be bad at lying to Luke, but she was getting better at it now.“Have you bought them?” Luke asked caringly. “No. The herbs were fake. I’ll continue to look for them,” replied Luca. She looked up and looked at the scenery outside the window. There wa
Luca thought that if she helped Tommy to check his homework, then Luke could sign on the last page of the workbook after he came back.That could relieve his burden just a little. Tommy took candy out of his pocket as he watched Luca help him check his homework. He said, "Ms. Luca, this is for you." Luca looked at the chocolate candy and stroked Tommy’s head. “No, thank you. You can keep it for yourself. But don’t forget you can only eat this after dinner.”“Lizzie gave this to me. She told me that yummy candies should be given to our favorite people. So, I’m giving this candy to you, Ms. Luca.” Tommy insisted on stuffing the candy into Luca’s hands. Even though Tommy loved eating chocolate candy, he insisted on giving it to Luca.Luca smiled and asked after listening to Tommy, “Who’s Lizzie?” “She’s my classmate. Her nickname is Lizzie,” answered Tommy. “I see. It seems like you’re popular among your friends at school.” Luca looked at the chocolate candy in her hands. Her
A better doctor… They must be talking about Luca, right?Luke understood at once after summing up everything the old master had told them. He turned to look at Luca.The moment Lanie mentioned finding a better doctor for Old Master Crawford, Luca could feel their gazes fall on her. She lifted her head and looked at them.Tommy added, "Daddy, Ms. Luca has good clinical skills. She was the one who noticed that there was a medicinal ingredient added to Great-grandpa's stew the last time. Why don't we ask Ms. Luca to do a check-up on Great-grandpa?""You mean to take his pulse.” Lanie turned to look at Luca after he corrected Tommy. "Ms. Luca, Great-grandpa hates seeing doctors and the equipment in the hospital. Why don't you take Great-grandpa's pulse?"Luca looked at the three of them, then she glanced at Luke.They had already made themselves clear. How could she decline them?She could not…Besides, Old Master Crawford was kind to her. If he was really feeling uncomfortable,
Luca took the dress from Rainie, turned to face the dressing mirror, and compared the dress to Rainie's body.“It fits perfectly.” Luca was satisfied. She was worried that the dress would not suit the child’s height when she was buying the dress for her.The children were growing up fast. The clothes that they could put on not long ago might not be able to fit them well after just a short period.Rainie snuggled up to Luca and gave her a sweet smile, “Ms. Luca, can I wear this to school tomorrow?”“Sure. Let me wash it for you later, then I’ll dry it with the dryer. You can wear it to school tomorrow,” said Luca. She took a pair of scissors out of the drawer and cut the tag off the dress.Luca was glad that Rainie liked it. She planned to put the dress into the washing machine later. “Thank you, Ms. Luca.” Rainie planted a kiss on Luca’s cheek and left with a smile on her face. Luca did not expect Rainie to do such a thing. She was startled for a moment, then she smiled at her
Tommy loved Luca’s cooking. He was about to say yes when Lanie said, “It’s okay, Ms. Luca, this is more than enough.”Tommy shut his mouth embarrassedly.Luke went into the dining room after coming downstairs and smelled the aroma of breakfast.After seeing Luca in an apron, Luke knew that she had made breakfast.“Daddy,” the three children greeted simultaneously.Luke’s gaze fell on the three kids. He saw that they were eating breakfast with smiles on their faces, which gave him peace of mind.“Good morning, Mr. Crawford,” said Luca.“Good morning.” Luke sat on the chair.Luca was about to scoop up some oats for him when Aunt Neile immediately said, “Ms. Craw, have a seat. I’ll do it.”Luca sat on the seat next to Luke.Aunt Neile ladled a bowl of oats each for the two of them and returned to the kitchen.They were like a family of five, enjoying their breakfast in peace. Aunt Neile did not have the heart to spoil the mood.“You didn’t drive back yesterday, right?” Luke as
“What time does the meeting start?” asked Luca.“Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Dr. Craw, are you sure that you’re able to attend?” Mo confirmed with her once again. It was not her who wanted Luca to come over but the bunch of old fogeys at the company.She was just conveying their message.“Yes,” Luca gave her an affirmative answer. Although she did not know the point of the meeting, if it was about Dr. Albus, she would not expect the other professors to lend a helping hand.When it came to their benefit, friendships and all that was fake.She hung up the phone and folded her hands together. She felt bad as she thought about what had happened to Dr. Albus.Half an hour later, Rhett walked up to Luca’s office with a lunch box in his hands. He recalled her instructions and hung the lunch box on the door handle.“Rhett, is that you?” Luca heard sounds.Rhett thought his movements had disturbed her and said apprehensively, “Yes, Dr. Craw. Sorry for disturbing you.”“It’s okay. Com
“Ms. Lynn, I’ve already eaten. You can go by yourself.” Zoey declined Jenni’s invitation. She looked up at the office door to see that Jenni was indeed standing there.She could not come in, yet she still insisted on standing there as if she was determined to get her to come out.Zoey felt helpless as Jenni was not afraid to stand there and cause trouble.There were several floors in the company that had confidential documents, such as their floor. They kept many important documents. Although losing those documents would not pose a threat to T Corporation’s operations, Watson Biopharmaceutical’s operations would be affected.Therefore, the company’s employees avoided the floors with important documents as much as they could as to not get themselves into trouble when the surveillance cameras were checked in case something happened.“It’s only been half an hour and you’ve eaten?” Jenni was doubtful.“I brought some food from home. Ms. Lynn, I still have work to do. I’m sorry,” Zoey
