Female Novel
Chapter 2836
After the children left, Luca sat even more upright because she knew that Old Master Crawford hadsomething to say.
She waited for him to speak.
Old Master Crawford noticed her sitting up straight. He shook his head and laughed. “Luca, don't benervous."
Luca thought to herself, 'How can I not be nervous in front of such a wise man like Old MasterCrawford when I'm guilty?'
"Old Master Crawford, did Mr. Jackman and Old Master Bourne come here for work-related matterslast time?" She wanted to confirm with Old Master Crawford.
Margaret was still in the police station's detention center.
It was not a serious offense, but she still had to be detained for 15 days as a punishment.
"Yes. They weren't here for Mrs. Jackman's situation but because Jackman Corporation wants to workwith T Corporation," said Old Master Crawford. There was no need for him to hide.
"However, they went to the wrong person. Unlike Old Master Bourne, I'm no longer in charge of thecompany, so I had them find Luke. I even prepared a new tea for you that day. It's a shame that you leftwithout taking a sip when they came."
Old Master Crawford thought that the new cup of tea had been wasted.novelbin
Luca grinned.
"If drinking tea at night wasn't bad for you, I would've served you some tea. Come over wheneveryou're free during the day. The new tea leaves are still waiting for you," said Old Master Crawford.When Luca was still Bianca, she loved tea with a refreshing taste.
She would have liked the taste of the new tea.
Luca nodded and replied, "Alright."
Old Master Crawford asked again, "By the way, Wanda has undergone surgery, right? How's shedoing?"
He wanted to go visit, but Luke stopped him, saying that it was not time yet.
Old Master Crawford did not know when that would be, but since Luke said so, he had no choice but tolisten to him.
"Ms. Rayne is in good condition right now. Once the stitches are removed and she has recovered, she'llbe able to start chemotherapy in about half a month," said Luca. However, the doctor had the final sayon the exact date of the chemotherapy.
Everyone's physique was different, after all. Chemotherapy itself was painful enough, but if it was donewhen the patient's wounds had not healed, it would not help with recovery.
“What did Johann say? Is it curable?" Old Master Crawford asked. The Rayne family was small, andeven Bianca did not actually have the last name Rayne.
"It's hard to say whether she can be cured because it depends on Ms. Rayne's immune system.However, so far, Dr. Willa's surgery was a huge success, so with the treatment, she may be cured."Luca guessed, but she could not guarantee what the future held.
Who could guarantee that the cancer cells would not relapse in the future?
Some people were born with genes that were prone to carry cancer cells, but that did not mean theywould definitely get cancer.
However, their chances of getting cancer were higher than other people, so it was impossible to predictsuch things.
A healthy lifestyle and psychological state was the key to restoring Wanda's health.
"I hope everything will be alright. The Rayne family can't stand another blow. Old Master Raynecontacted me the last two days, and he seemed restless. Wanda has been away for too long, so he'sbeen starting to feel uneasy," Old Master Crawford mentioned.
Luca nodded and kept those words in mind.
Old Master Crawford chatted with her about many other topics, and when the kids were about to go tosleep, Luca went up to tell them a bedtime story before letting them go back to their own bedrooms.
The kids were easily pleased.
They had been staying at the manor for the past few days, so, of course, they missed their parents.
Although they missed them, they did not make a fuss. Luca brought over cookies she made herself andeven told them bedtime stories, so they went to sleep with full hearts.
When it was about ten o'clock, Luca left.
She sat in the back and watched Warren drive while wondering if she should mention to Luke that sheshould drive herself when it got too late. That way, Warren could get off work earlier.
Warren was a young man, so he had his own life too. He could not be on call 24 hours a day just forthat little amount of money...
Luca knew about Warren's responsibilities. Even if he was Gale and Rain's assistant, he still had tostart a family. If she continued letting Warren drive her to places, how was he going to meet women oreven date his current girlfriend?
She was not one to strike up conversations, so she had no clue about Warren's love life.
However, Luca did not intend to bring it up now because Luke was busy.
After returning to the mansion, Luca glanced at the opposite room and saw Luke working inside. Shewent downstairs to heat up the leftover soup.
The soup was good for nourishing the body and had many other benefits too. Even Wanda could haveit after undergoing the operation.
Mrs. Lane too, after working long hours.
People like Luke, who stayed up late and did not get enough sleep, could definitely have it.
Luca carefully took the bowl of soup to the door of the bedroom. He did not close the door, so sheknocked on the door and went in before placing it on the desk.
"Soup?" Luke smelled the soup.
He had drunk a bowl of soup that night, and it was a bit bitter but still delicious.
"Yup, this soup is good for you. You should have more." Luca's eyes were glistening with endlessaffection.
Even though Luke was not hungry, he had to drink it because Luca brought it over.
He picked it up and finished it.
Luca took the soup bowl from him and talked about her conversation with Old Master Crawford today."Old Master Crawford said that Mr. Jackman and Old Master Bourne went to him to discuss workingtogether."
"Mhm, they came to me in private as well," said Luke.
Luca was speechless as she did not think that Mr. Jackman had the audacity to go to Luke.
If she were in his place, she would never be able to do this. How could he throw away his dignity forbusiness?
She did not ask Luke about his decision because she knew that he would not work with Lonnie, so sheheld the soup bowl and said, "Continue doing your work, then. I'll go wash up."
She was not as busy as Luke, so she should rest as it was getting late.
Luke nodded.
Luca went downstairs to wash the dishes before going back up to take her pajamas and wash up in thebathroom.
After showering, she walked out of the bathroom, sat in front of the dressing table, and meticulouslyapplied skincare products.
The children had been staying at the manor for the past few days, but she was still not used to it.Usually, she would go to the children's rooms at this time to see if they had gone to bed or kicked theirblankets off the beds.
Luca recalled the kids clinging to her at the manor just now and hoped that the situation could beresolved quickly so that she could bring the kids back home.
The children's every word showed their longing for her and Luke.
Even though they missed her, they did not make a fuss about following her back when she left.
Luca looked at herself in the mirror as she thought about her three kids, and finally, she thought aboutNyla as well.
