Chapter 2840
After Luca placed all the small milk cube candies into the kids' snack box, Luke was still upstairsdealing with work matters.
Luca then brewed a pot of coffee for Luke and had Aunt Neile bring it upstairs along with breakfast.
Meanwhile, she had her breakfast downstairs.
After finishing her meal, Luca checked the soup she prepared for Wanda. It was almost ready. Hence,she turned off the stove and added some salt to the soup for seasoning.
She poured it into a thermos while the soup was still hot.
After she had prepared everything, Zander had also brought the children back.
The three children rushed in, changed their shoes, and went straight to the kitchen to look for Luca."Ms. Luca, we're back!"
The three children simultaneously said the same words, with Tommy's voice being the loudest.
Luca turned around and smiled at the three of them. "You're back. Have you had breakfast?"
"We had breakfast at Great-grandpa's." Rainie nodded and caught a whiff of the aroma in the air of thekitchen. Her eyes lit up.
The scent of the food was sweet and enticing. Rainie asked, “Ms. Luca, did you prepare desserts?"
"You have a keen nose. Yes, I made dessert. But you shouldn't eat too much after breakfast. You'll onlyget three each," replied Luca as she took out a few milk cube candies from the snack box anddistributed them to the kids.
Each of the three children held three milk cubes in their hands.
"What's this?" Tommy curiously asked. He had never tried this snack before.
"It's a milk cube candy," Rainie recognized it. The Crawford family did not allow them to eat suchsnacks. Even though they were sold outside, they considered them unhygienic, so they had never triedthem.
Rainie knew about them because she had seen her classmate eat them before. Her classmate evenshared one with her.
Rainie only remembered that the milk cube candy was soft in texture, with a slightly hard almond nutinside. It was sweet, but it did not leave any other impression on her.
"Yes. It's milk cube candy. Give it a try and see if it's good," said Luca with a smile on her face. Sheclosed the snack box and looked at the kids. Her heart felt warm.
Tommy had a greedy look on his face. He was always eager to try new snacks. Thus, he immediatelystuffed one into his mouth.
After tasting it, he exclaimed before swallowing it down, "It's milky and smells so good! Mmm, there'salmond in it. It's sweet and delicious! Ms. Luca, I love it!"
Tommy's affirmation made Luca eagerly look at the other two children.
Rainie ate more delicately. After swallowing, she blinked her bright eyes and said, "This is good! Ms.Luca, this milk cube candy you made is even better than the one my classmate's mom bought for her!"
She smiled and proved her words with action, eating another one.
Lanie was not a fan of sweet food, but the sweetness of the milk cube candy, along with the soft andchewy texture and the crunch from the almond, made him think it was delicious. When he told Luca ittasted good, he was ready to eat a second one.
The kids loved the milk cube candy she made.
Luca thought of Wanda, who also enjoyed eating sweets. It had been several days since her surgery.She could have some sweets in moderation. Hence, she opened the snack box and took out some forWanda.
Tommy's eyes lit up. Then, he asked, "Ms. Luca, are you going out?"
He noticed the thermos Luca placed in the bag.
“Yes, I'm going to visit your Great Aunt Wanda. She had surgery and is now recovering," answeredLuca. The three kids did not get to visit Grandpa Rayne that often. Therefore, she was not afraid thatthey would accidentally let slip and make him worry.
She would have to wait until Wanda had recovered and was discharged from the hospital to take thekids to the Rayne family's house.
When Rainie heard this, she worriedly asked, "Ms. Luca, is Great Aunt Wanda okay? I'm worried abouther."
"She's fine. She'll recover as long as she takes good care of herself and gets enough rest." Lucareassured them and handed each of them a small milk cube candy again.
"Ms. Luca, can we visit Great Aunt Wanda?" Lanie took the milk cube candy from Luca and asked.
Luca was startled for a moment, but before she could say anything, Tommy spoke up, "Ms. Luca, we'dlike to visit Great Aunt Wanda. We promise we won't be noisy or misbehave. We won't disturb hereither."
Rainie chimed in, "Yes, we'll behave ourselves."
How could Luca bear to refuse their request?
"Alright. Let me go upstairs and talk to your father," said Luca. She placed the thermos and other itemson the dining table before heading upstairs to find Luke.
The three children followed closely behind her.
Aunt Neile, who witnessed the scene, shook her head helplessly and could not help but sigh. Thesethree children really loved clinging to Luca.
Luca and the kids arrived at the bedroom door. She knocked on the door first, and when Luke lookedtoward the door, she said, "Luke, the kids are back."
"Good morning, Daddy." The three kids greeted him with smiles on their faces, but they did notsurround him. They remained by Luca's side.
Luke put on a faint smile and replied, "Good morning."
Tommy asked, "Daddy, can we go to the hospital with Ms. Luca to visit Great Aunt Wanda? We'llbehave and won't cause any trouble for Ms. Luca."
Lanie added, "I'll watch over Tommy and make sure he doesn't disturb Great Aunt Wanda's recovery."
Rainie also joined the conversation, "I'll watch over Lanie and Tommy too."
Tommy looked up at his siblings. Why did they have to watch over him?
He was clearly well-behaved!
"Alright. You can go, but do not cause any trouble or inconvenience," said Luke.
"Alright then!" Tommy readily agreed and looked at Luca. “Ms. Luca, Daddy said yes. Shall we set offnow?"
"Yes. Let's go." Luca shot another glance at Luke. She could see the gentle affection in his eyes. Then,she led the children downstairs.
She grabbed the thermos and headed toward the hospital.
Since it was the weekend, she did not ask Warren to drive them. Instead, she carefully drove the carherself and headed to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Luca bought two fruit baskets. She asked the shop ownerto replace one of them with a simpler design.novelbin
The fruits were still the same, and only the quality of the basket was not as good.
The one that was changed was intended for Sarah.
After she explained the situation to Sarah yesterday, Luca found a caretaker for her, and Sarah calledagain.
It took Luca a long time to convince Sarah to accept a caretaker.
She was currently resting in bed without the company and care of her family. That was why she neededa caretaker. This was not the time for her to save money.
Luca asked the fruit shop owner to make this arrangement in order to ease Sarah's mental burden.
When Lanie saw Luca carrying so many things in her hands, he took the initiative to suggest, "Ms.Luca, let me carry one of the fruit baskets."
Luca looked at the young boy in front of her and replied, "It's heavy."
"It's okay, Ms. Luca. I can handle it," Lanie took the fruit basket from her.
“Daddy said that boys are born to take care of their moms and sisters.
Rainie also helped Lanie carry it. "I'll help Lanie."
Tommy also wanted to take Luca's fruit basket too. "Ms. Luca, I'd like to carry one for you too."
The fruit basket was heavy. Lanie and Rainie could still manage it, but Tommy...
Luca handed him the thermos instead. "You're still little, so carry this instead."
"Okay!" Tommy took the thermos she handed him. He was happy to be able to help Luca.
