Female Novel
Chapter 1916
Luca came to the door of the tea room and pushed the door open. The fragrance of tea immediatelywafted out from inside the room.
When Old Master Crawford saw them, he said, “You guys are back. Come in quickly."
Luca looked at the old master's friendly smile and could guess that he did not have the intention ofcausing trouble for her. She nodded her head and pushed Luke into the tea room.
Luke looked at the old man, then at the tea set on the table.
"Why are you here, Grandpa?" Luke asked. Not only did he turn up, but he even brought his tealeaves.novelbin
Old Master Crawford saw Luca meticulously stepping down on the wheel locks and nodded with adelightful smile. He turned around to look at Luke. "Of course, I'm here to visit you. I heard that youwere discharged today, so I came to visit. So, how are things? What did the doctor say? How did youeven end up in a wheelchair?"
Luke looked at his leg and briefly answered, "It's nothing."
"If you're alright, why are you in a wheelchair, then? Luca, you tell me. What did the doctor say aboutLuke?" Old Master Crawford asked.
"Old Master, the doctor said it's just a simple fracture. It's not a big issue. He'll be fine as long as hekeeps the cast on for a month." The old master would be too worried if she mentioned the fact thatLuke had a hemorrhage in his head, hence she did not reveal that.
Luke lowered his eyes as he listened to Luca. He was delighted.
She was handling the situation with great detail.
Although his hemorrhage was fake, her worry for him was genuine. If she told Old Master Crawford thetruth, he would definitely worry and Luke would have to explain it to him.
The way she phrased it had saved him lots of trouble.
"Fracture..." Old Master Crawford sighed deeply and looked at Luke with a critical gaze while shakinghis head.
"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Luca thought it was because the old master was dissatisfied. After all,Luke's injury was still related to Luca.
If it were not for her, the man who had always been rational would not have gotten drunk andencountered an accident.
"Nothing. I'm just thinking about how the grand young master of the Crawford family would have to bein a wheelchair for one whole month. It's rather hilarious." Old Master Crawford teased his grandson.
Up until yesterday, he had never thought of Luke as someone who would easily fall in love. He hadalways been under the assumption that his love was only reserved for Bianca.
However, from the current looks of it, things might be different from what he initially thought. Itappeared that Luke was able to develop feelings for other women.
Take, for example, Luca.
"Grandpa." Luke put on a dark expression as he listened to the old man's teasing. Did his grandfathercome all the way here just to tease him?
Old Master Crawford really knew his grandson well. Just by looking at Luke's face, he knew he wasunable to take the joke. The old master picked up a cup of tea and took a sip of it. He then asked, "Do
you two want to have some? They're tea leaves that I brought from the manor. They were freshlypicked.”
"No thanks, Old Master." Luca shook her head. Her wound was still inflamed, so she could not drinktea.
As for Luke, he did not make a sound.
Old Master Crawford looked at his grandson. "Why don't I pour you a cup of tea?"
"Old Master, it's unsuitable for Mr. Crawford to drink tea given his current condition. He has to take hismedications after this,” Luca said.
Old Master Crawford nodded. "You're right. Looking at Luke's overly energetic appearance made meforget that his leg is injured.”
"Is there a reason behind your visit?” Luke felt as though his grandfather was just here to tease him.Hence, he was very upset at the moment.
Old Master Crawford put down the cup of tea and raised his brows. "I'm just here to see you and Luca.Yesterday, when the kids were sent back home, they were all crying so badly. I thought that you weredisfigured or something."
Faced with the old man's teasing, Luke's expression became darker as he said ruthlessly, "I'm fine andwell."
"You look very well right now, but it's all thanks to Luca staying by your side and looking after you.Otherwise, I doubt you'd be able to say you're doing well right now." Old Master Crawford smiled.
Luca heard their conversation and finally understood that Old Master Crawford was not here to seektrouble but was just here to see Luke being embarrassed.
It was good to still be young at heart.
Luke was speechless after what Old Master Crawford said. He picked up the teapot before him andpoured himself a cup of tea to calm himself.
Luca slowly touched his arm. "Mr. Crawford, if you drink the tea, you won't be able to take yourmedications later on."
Luke was not mad even though she stopped him. "Push me out. I want to take my medications."
Luca nodded and released the wheel locks. She then said to Old Master Crawford, "Old Master, I'llpush Luke out so that he can take his medications."
Old Master Crawford shook his head and watched his grandson enjoy Luca's meticulous care with adark expression on his face. He was not a gentleman at all and was not caring.
How was he going to win her heart?
Old Master Crawford said, "Luca, it's been a while since we last meet. Sit down. I'd like to have a wordwith you." "But Mr. Crawford..." Luca felt troubled, so she tried to negotiate with him, saying, “OldMaster, why don't you sit here first and have your tea? I'll be back once Mr. Crawford has taken hismedications."
"Why are you so concerned about him? His leg is injured but his hands are fine. He can push himselfout and take his medications without your help." Old master Crawford intentionally made Luke angry.
"Grandpa!" Luke could not help but say sternly. Was he here today simply to go against him?
"Old Master, Mr. Crawford has quite a number of medications to take, and I know them better. I'll headout with him first. I'll be back right after that to accompany you to have tea.” After Luca spoke, she
pushed Luke out of the tea room.
After pushing him into the living room, she said, "Mr. Crawford, the things are all in the car. Let me goget them now."
"Alright." Luke nodded. As he watched her walk out, he waved his hand toward the maid who wascleaning up beside him.
"Any orders, sir?" The maid went over after she saw him.
"Go help her carry the things in," Luke said.
"Alright," the maid replied and followed Luca out. After some time, both of them returned, each carryinga bag of things.
Luca was also holding onto a little bag that contained all of Luke's medication.
"I'll go into the kitchen to pour you a cup of water." After saying this to Luke, she turned around andentered the kitchen. She mixed some hot and cold water together to make it lukewarm before going outand placing the glass in front of Luke.
Luke took it, and Luca sat on the sofa. She sorted the pills that he needed to take. Then, she took out apiece of tissue and cautiously placed the pills onto the tissue. She then put the tissue on her palm.
Luke noticed each meticulous action that she made.
All of it was done because she cared about him.
Old Master Crawford was right. Only Luca would take care of him so meticulously.
If it were another person, they would not know so much about him, including Jason who had alwaysbeen beside him. Even he would not be this detailed.
