Female Novel
Chapter 2883
On Saturday morning, Luca received two pieces of good news from the hospital.
One was that Old Man Rayne's postoperative condition was stable, and his body indicators wereimproving. He had been moved to a regular ward. The other good news was that Sarah's condition hadstabilized. Arrangements could be made for Marcos to meet her.
Luke also received the same news.
Luke saw the faint smile on Luca's face and said, "I've arranged for a caretaker for Old Man Rayne. Wecan visit him anytime."
"Okay. Remind the caretaker not to take Old Man Rayne out and wander around." Luca nodded. Thelast time she entered the ICU ward with Johann, Old Man Rayne was awake and was able to recognizeher.
Luca briefly explained why she was at the hospital at that time.
She was worried about Old Man Rayne after she found out that he was sick. That was why she was atthe hospital. At the same time, she also reassured him that she would keep a close watch on hiscondition.
Therefore, Luca could show up at the hospital next time and it would not seem out of place.novelbin
Old Man Rayne's appreciation for her visits was evident. He was happy and welcomed her to visit him.
"Yes. I've already instructed them. Also, the maid at the Rayne family's house won't be coming to thehospital." Luke was meticulous in his arrangements.
The maid knew that Wanda had not gone on a trip but was receiving treatment at the hospital.
However, if she showed up at the hospital and was seen by Wanda, it might raise suspicions andWanda would be reminded of Old Man Rayne. Hence, the maid who had been working at the Raynefamily's house would continue to manage the villa's cleanliness.
Wanda did not know the maid from the Crawford family. She could help to take care of Old Man Rayne.
Once his health improved, they would try to avoid moving around outside the hospital room to preventany encounters with Wanda on the same floor.
Luca understood that all these arrangements were for the well-being of both Old Man Rayne andWanda. A warm feeling of gratitude welled up inside her, yet she could not find the words to express it.
Luke could sense the affection in Luca's gaze. His eyes now carried a hint of gentleness.
"Everything is getting better," said Luke.
Even though Luca had no blood ties with the Rayne family, they had taken care of her when she wasyoung, resulting in a deep bond of affection.
Luke's role was to look after the Rayne family in her place.
Luca agreed with a nod. Luke was right. It looked like everything was getting better.
She recalled the time when she was still in university. She had no money to afford medical treatmentfor Kevin. Everything had seemed overwhelming and hopeless back then.
When comparing it to the present, even though her situation was complicated, having Luke around totake care of them made everything seem less daunting. Things were looking up.
"Should we have Mr. Marcos come to the hospital to meet Ms. Poplar?" asked Luca, recalling that shehad seen photos of Marcos' parents.
Marcos was a complete reflection of his father, and he held no resemblance to Sarah.
Thus, when Luca first met Sarah, she did not find her particularly familiar.
However, Luca believed that Sarah would definitely recognize him when she saw Marcos.
"Yes, but Marcos is busy during the day. He has to go to the detention center," replied Luke. "I'vearranged for them to meet in the evening."
Luca was not too interested in when they would meet. When she visited Sarah for the past few days,she had tried to inquire about her son.
Sarah kept her guard up when talking about that topic.
Still, Luca could still sense that Sarah missed her son, whom she had not seen in over 20 years.
If it were not for the Abaza family relentlessly pushing Sarah toward a dead-end, she would not havehad to hide on the outskirts of A City for over two decades, too afraid to show her face.
Luca asked again, "Is Mr. Marcos going to the detention center because of Matysh?"
"Yes." Luke nodded. "All the evidence has come together now, and Matysh has been arrested. Thenext step is the trial."
Mandy's recording further proved that Matysh was the mastermind behind the Norman family's homeinvasion case, and it also implicated Leia's involvement in the case.
Meanwhile, another suspect in the case had also been arrested.
Walter acted swiftly and obtained crucial evidence from multiple sources.
With the mounting evidence, Matysh's involvement in the rape case was substantiated.
Even if they were to hire a top-notch lawyer, Matysh would not be able to escape these charges.
Ethan, who had been handling Matysh's case, realized this and tried various strategies, but it was all invain.
Also, Matysh was not pleased with Shandra's candor.
Despite her repeated explanations that she could not help to clear his charges completely and couldonly aim to minimize the sentence, Matysh terminated the agreement.
This was what Marcos told Ethan.
No matter how Ethan tried to persuade him, Matysh insisted on terminating the agreement withShandra.
After Shandra readily agreed, she signed the agreement to terminate the retainer and left.
Ethan received a barrage of scoldings from Matysh. After returning to the hotel, Ethan vented hisfrustrations to Marcos about the situation.
After that, Marcos looked into the details of the retainer termination.
While Shandra was not continuing to work as Matysh's lawyer, Walter did not plan to let go of the caseand continued working on the retainer's tasks, preparing for the trial to send Matysh to prison.
"That's good," Luca murmured as she listened to Luke talking about Matysh's situation.
Even though Matysh was not facing trial in his own country, it was evident that this was where thefairest judgment would take place.
It also provided some solace to the women who had suffered because of Matysh...
"Let's go. It's about time. We should get going." Luke glanced at the time and picked up the two giftbags Aunt Neile placed on the coffee table.
Luca had prepared some herbal medications for Queenie. They were intended to be delivered to theNorman family.
Luke had arranged lunch for today. Even if Old Man Rayne was discharged from the ICU, he would stillhave to take the kids to Norman Residence at noon.
Luke guessed that Zander was probably on his way to Norman Residence with the kids.
"Alright." Luca gave herself a mental jolt and smiled. Then, she walked out of the room with Luke.
The brilliant sunlight painted the garden with unabashed splendor as it cascaded over the lush foliage.Blooming flowers marked the dawn of a day with an air of exuberance.
Luca soaked in the warmth around her, enjoying the comfort it brought.
All worries seemed to vanish into thin air at this moment. She knew that the fervent embrace ofsummer was just around the corner.
