Chapter 2280

Luca scratched her hair. She was not sure how she slept which led to her hair being so messy.

Her hair was like a cockscomb when she was eating the oats and chatting with Luke...

'How embarrassing!'

Luca picked up a comb and quickly brushed her hair before she walked out of the bathroom.

Luke sat at the dresser and looked at the prescription for Luca that Johann left.

After he sorted out her medicine, he looked back at her and said, "Come and take your medicine."

"Okay." Luca picked up the cup on the bedside table and walked to the dresser. She then picked upthree pills, put the pills in her mouth, and took a sip of water.

After she swallowed the medicine, she finished the rest of the water.

Luke frowned and said, "Is it bitter?"

"All medicines are bitter. They're not too bad," Luca said as she put the cup down.

"I'll give you candy tomorrow. It's getting late. Get some rest." Luke coaxed her like she was a child.

Luca's cheeks were slightly flushed. 'He's going to give me candy? Does he see me as a child?'

She thought about it and felt that it was not the worst idea to be his kid.

"What about you?" Luca sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him.

"I'll go take a shower. Go to bed," Luke said. He pulled the blanket back and gestured for her to liedown.

Luca hesitated for a while before she looked up at him. "Mr. Crawford, why don't you go back to yourbedroom to sleep tonight?"

"Why?" Luke was not angry at her. He raised his eyebrows and tried to understand where she wascoming from.

"I have a cold. I'll infect you if you get too close to me." Luca's voice was a little muffled because of herblocked nose.

"It's alright." Luke shook his head and said, "If it's meant to happen, I would have been infected longago. Luca, I've been watching you all day and I'm alright. Don't overthink it. Lie down."

He had indeed been watching over her the entire day...

Luca's heart trembled slightly. She had no choice but to lie down obediently when faced with Luke'sinsistence.

Luke tucked her in before he walked to the opposite bedroom.

Luca heard the sound of the door closing. She slowly closed her eyes. She thought that the medicinewould not take effect as fast, but the medicine prescribed by Johann was strong. She felt sleepy aftershe lay down for less than five minutes.

She closed her eyes slowly.

When she was drowsy, Luca heard the door open and knew that the person who came in was Luk.Hence, she did not open her eyes. Instead, she moved her body to the side subconsciously before sheturned sideways and continued to sleep.

Luke watched her subconsciously reserve a place for him and smiled. His movements were light as hegot on the bed.

After he covered them with the blanket, he took her into his arms and closed his eyes in peace.

He felt wonderful with Luca in his arms and fell into a deep sleep within a few minutes of lying down. ...

The next day.

Luca felt much better after she woke up and subconsciously glanced at the space next to her.

Luke was also up.

Her heart felt inexplicably warm when she thought about being taken care of by him all day yesterday.

Luca got up. As soon as she opened her mouth, she knew that her voice was gone.

Her throat felt very uncomfortable as if it had been scalded. She touched her throat and found that itwas inflamed.

It happened every time she caught a cold. Her voice would be hoarse for a few days...

Luca sighed and changed into her home clothes after she washed up.

It was Sunday, so Luke allowed the kids to stay in bed for a while longer than they would on a schoolday.

She thought that the children were still asleep. She opened the door only to find the kids standing inline at the door. She subconsciously took a step back for fear that her cold would spread to them.

"Ms. Luca, are you feeling better?" Rainie was the first to ask.

Luca felt a little guilty when she saw the children's worried eyes. She smiled and said to them, "I'mdoing much better. Don't worry."

Lanie frowned when he heard her hoarse voice and asked, "Ms. Luca, are your tonsils inflamed?"

Luca knew that he liked to read a lot of books, including some medical books. Hence, he had someunderstanding of the human body. She nodded and said, "Mm, it's normal to sound like this after acold. I'll be fine in a few days."

"Ms. Luca, you should stop talking to protect your throat," Tommy said in a boyish voice.

Luca smiled. She did not think of herself as fragile, but her heart warmed with the knowledge that thekids were worried about her. She asked, "Isn't it Sunday? Why did you get up so early?"novelbin

"That's because we were worried about you, Ms. Luca," Tommy answered on behalf of all the siblings.

Rainie nodded too. They were all worried sick about Luca.

"You have nothing to worry about. I'm fine. Let's go downstairs!" Luca said as she glanced at thebedroom opposite her.

The door to the bedroom was open, but no one was inside.

'Where's Luke?'

Luca was surprised and wondered if he was downstairs...

Lanie noticed what Luca was doing and said, "Daddy saw that you didn't have a fever today, so hewent back to the office to deal with work."

"Mm, I see." Luca was stunned. It turned out that Luke had gone to work.

He put work aside yesterday to take care of her. He must not have finished his work, so it made sensethat he had to go to the office.

"Daddy told us to not disturb you and for us to remind you to take your medicine on time," Tommyadded.

"Oh? In that case, do you remember when I should take my medicine?" Luca could not help but teaseher younger son.

"Daddy said that you should take your medicine within half an hour after breakfast and lunch," Tommyremembered everything clearly.

"Okay." Luca smiled at Tommy's cute appearance. "However, don't get too close to me."

"Ms. Luca, I'm very strong!" Tommy knew that she wanted the best for them but was still a littleunhappy.

He loved to be with her, but he was now forced to keep his distance because of a cold.

He pouted and flexed his little arms again to indicate that he was very strong.

Luca did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said with a smile on her face, "Yes, you're thestrongest. However, I'm still not completely healed from my cold. It's all for your own good. Otherwise,you'll feel terrible if you catch a cold. I'll be sad too."

"Okay..." Tommy had to take a step forward and kept a safe distance from her.

Luca smiled. Aunt Neile overheard their conversation and walked out of the kitchen. She saw that Lucalooked like she was doing better and asked, "Ms. Craw, are you feeling better?"

"I'm doing much better, Aunt Neile. Thank you for taking care of me yesterday." Luca smiled.

Aunt Neile waved her hand and said quickly, "Actually, I didn't do anything. It's all thanks to Mr.Crawford. He took care of you as soon as he got home."

"Yeah, Daddy didn't leave Ms. Luca's bedroom since he came back. He kept us outside and kepthimself inside. He wouldn't let us see you." Tommy complained about Luke.
