Female Novel
Chapter 2121
A better doctor... They must be talking about Luca, right?
Luke understood at once after summing up everything the old master had told them. He turned to lookat Luca.
The moment Lanie mentioned finding a better doctor for Old Master Crawford, Luca could feel theirgazes fall on her.
She lifted her head and looked at them.
Tommy added, "Daddy, Ms. Luca has good clinical skills. She was the one who noticed that there wasa medicinal ingredient added to Great-grandpa's stew the last time. Why don't we ask Ms. Luca to do acheck-up on Great-grandpa?"
"You mean to take his pulse.” Lanie turned to look at Luca after he corrected Tommy. "Ms. Luca,Greatgrandpa hates seeing doctors and the equipment in the hospital. Why don't you take Great-grandpa's pulse?"
Luca looked at the three of them, then she glanced at Luke.
They had already made themselves clear. How could she decline them?
She could not.
Besides, Old Master Crawford was kind to her. If he was really feeling uncomfortable, ignoring him wasnot something Luca would do.
"Alright." Luca nodded and agreed to it while the kids stared at her.
Lanie nodded and put on a stern expression on his face. "Ms. Luca, we'll leave Great-grandpa's healthto you."
Luca looked at Lanie’s expression and turned to glance at Luke again.
The two of them were getting more and more alike.
The serious expressions on their faces were almost the same. Even the looks in their eyes weresimilar.
They were indeed father and son.
"I’ll try my best," replied Luca. She had no idea about Old Master Crawford’s health condition. That waswhy she dared not to guarantee that she could handle it.
The thought of Old Master Crawford reminded her of Old Man Rayne.
Luca wondered if he was doing well. Although he was taking medicines to recuperate his health, hewould have to do a medical check-up every once in a while.
Luke could see that Luca was worried. He knew Luca must have thought of Old Man Rayne without asecond thought. After all, the two of them were elders. Luca would certainly be reminded of him whenthey mentioned Old Master Crawford.
Luke said, “Let me bring you to the Rayne family's house when you're free. Perhaps you can check OldMan Rayne's pulse and health condition too."
"Sure." Luca was secretly surprised. How did Luke know what she was thinking about?
Luca was indeed thinking of visiting Old Man Rayne and Aunt Wanda.
She just did not have a good reason to do so. However, she would have a reason to visit them afterLuke told her that he was bringing her to check on them.
"Daddy, I'd like to visit Grandpa Rayne too," said Tommy. He thought of paying a visit to the Raynefamily's house when he heard that.
The kids loved visiting Grandpa Rayne compared to Grandpa Norman.
"It depends on our schedule. We'll bring you there if everyone has time." Luke promised the kids.
Rainie put down the cutlery and said, "Daddy, you can bring us there this weekend."
Luke turned to look at Luca. Luca was still busy with the research, and he thought Luca might have towork overtime this weekend.
"Ms. Luca is busy with her work lately. She has many things to do in the office," explained Luke. Even ifthey were going to visit the Rayne family's house, they would probably visit at night.
Luke had to handle M Group's project, and he had to prepare for the development of the westernsuburbs.
Even though he would be accompanying the kids back to Crawford Manor, he would still have to work.
Luca nodded. Since Luke mentioned this, Luca also hoped that the kids could understand why she wasunable to keep them company.
Tommy complained with dissatisfaction, "Daddy, it's okay if you're busy, but can you please reduce Ms.Luca's work..."
"It's not up to me." Luke passed the buck to Luca. It was not up to him to decide how much time Lucahad to spend on her work. If Luke was the one who called the shots, Luca did not need to head to the
office to hold a meeting about the research.
Luca explained, "I'm having some problems with my research, and I need to solve them."
"Can't Daddy solve them for you?" Tommy was still young. He did not know how things worked. Hethought his father knew everything, and every difficulty he faced would be solved easily. "Daddy is asmart guy. Ms. Luca, let him help you!"
Luca turned to look at Luke.
Luke no longer tried to impress his kids by telling them that he could do anything. He confessed toTommy, "There are people who specialize in certain industries. Ms. Luca is way better than me when itcomes to research. I don't know anything about it."
Tommy widened his eyes. He refused to believe that his almighty Daddy could not even help in thismatter.
"Daddy, you're embarrassing," Tommy uttered.
Luke was not angry that his youngest son found him embarrassing. He was easy-going andapproachable in front of Luca and the kids.
He urged the kids, “Finish your dinner."
“Ms. Luca, are you going to be busy for the next few days?" Rainie asked.
“Yes, but everything will be back to normal after the problem is solved," answered Luca. She gave thekids buffalo wings and said, “Hurry up and finish your dinner. I'm giving everyone a surprise afterdinner."
“What surprise is it?" Tommy pulled himself together once he heard that. His dim eyes brightened up ashe looked at Luca.
“It's a surprise. If I tell you, then it won't be a surprise anymore." Luca pursed her lips. She suddenlyrealized that she had not given the kids the gifts she had bought for them in Russia.
Luca had been busy with work lately. Besides, Amur was still missing. That was why she forgot aboutthe gifts.
The kids ate their dinner quietly without talking when they heard there would be a surprise for themlater.
Luke did not say another word when he saw the kids eating their dinner quietly because of what Lucasaid. He thought that she was the only one who could quiet the kids down.
Even Tommy, who was the most talkative among the three of them, was eating his dinner quietly. Hedid not say a word after hearing Luca's words.
She understood her children the most...
After dinner, the three of them surrounded Luca excitedly, eager to know what surprise Luca hadprepared for them.
Luca smiled and nodded, “Follow me."
The three kids followed behind Luca and walked into her bedroom.
“Take a seat." Luca pointed at her bed, signaling the kids to sit on the bed.
The kids climbed up the bed and sat on it.novelbin
Luca opened her drawer and took the gifts out. "I was planning to wrap them nicely before giving themto you, but I've been really busy these days. I didn't have time to buy wrapping paper either. This is forLanie, and this one's for Rainie. And this is Tommy's."
She distributed the gifts to the three of them.
Tommy's eyes brightened up when he saw the gift. “It's a gift!"
"Yes. I went to Russia. Although I went there to work, I had to prepare something for you. Do you likeit?" Luca sat on the dressing table's chair and looked at the kids with a smile on her face.
She felt happy as well when she saw the kids so delighted to receive their gifts.
"Yes. I like it, Ms. Luca. This is the best gift I've received this year!" Tommy looked at his gift. Hewanted to bring it to school and show it to his friends.
He had received such a wonderful gift.
“Thank you, Ms. Luca. I like it," said Lanie.
Rainie took the dress out and held it close to her body. "Thank you, Ms. Luca. What a pretty dress."
Luca waved her hand at Rainie and said, “Rainie, come here.”
Rainie brought the dress along with her and came to Luca's side.
