Female Novel
Chapter 2633
"That's why they contacted you." Luca was wondering a moment ago. Did she not give the police hercontact number?
Why did they have to call Luke first before reaching her?
It was Luke who told them to do so.
No wonder there were hardly any calls coming in these days. It had been quiet.
Luca sat down in front of the dressing table. She took the bandage and medicine out of the drawer,preparing to change her wound dressing. She did not get to change it last night as Luke was teasingher.
"Are you changing the wound dressing?" Luke put on a collared shirt and understood what Luca wasdoing when he saw the bandage.
"Yes." Luca nodded and untied the gauze bandage.
Round and round, the bandage covering her wound was slowly unfastened. The wound with stitcheswas exposed to the air.
Luca carefully observed her wound.
The sutured wound was already full of scabs because of the poison in Luca's body that sped up thehealing of the wound. Also, she applied some medicine to it.
"There are scabs already." Luke grabbed her hand and glanced at it.
Some of the dark red scabs on her hand were already falling off. An ordinary person would not havebeen able to heal that fast.
Luke asked, "Did I overlook yesterday?"
"No, you didn't. It's almost healed." Luca knew Luke was talking about the scabs that were almostfalling off.
After all, her wounds heal faster than the others.
Luca withdrew her hand and applied some medicine to it.
"This isn't what the hospital gave you," said Luke. He saw the medicine Johann prescribed for Luca toclean her wound that day. It was not what Luca was using now.
"I made this." Luca picked up the gauze bandage after applying the medicine.
"Let me help you." Luke grabbed the gauze bandage in Luca's hands and helped her to bandage herhand.
Luke was worried that he would accidentally press on her wound. He observed the expressions onLuca's face when he was bandaging it. After that, he tied a bow with the bandage.
Luca could not help but laugh when she saw such a pretty bow, “I didn't know you could tie such apretty bow. It looks so much prettier than the way I bandage my hand single-handedly."
"Rainie loves to wear dresses. She refused to let the others tie her bow on her dress back then. Sheinsisted on asking me to tie it for her. Practice makes perfect. The bow gets prettier as I get familiarwith it," explained Luke.
Luke remembered that something had happened to Bianca at that time. Rainie was feeling depressedall day. She insisted on Luke helping her to tie the bow when she wore a dress back then.
If the bow was not pretty enough, she would put on a gloomy expression on her face that resembledBianca.novelbin
Therefore, Luke would put in some effort when he was tying the bow on Rainie's dress even though hewas in a bad mood. That was why the bow he tied now looked perfect and pretty.
Luca walked out of the bedroom after she changed her wound dressing. She went to the kids' room tocheck on them. After making sure that they were awake, she headed downstairs.
Aunt Neile and the maid had breakfast prepared downstairs in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford. Good morning, Ms. Craw. Breakfast is ready." Aunt Neile smiled andgreeted them when she saw them coming down the stairs.
"Good morning, Aunt Neile. Thank you for preparing breakfast for us." Luca looked at the dishesserved on the dining table. It must have taken Aunt Neile and the maid a long time to prepare these.
Luca's hand was injured. It was right for Luke to ask one of the maids in Crawford manor to come overand assist Aunt Neile.
"It's my job. What would you like to drink?" Aunt Neile asked.
"Please get me a glass of soy milk please," answered Luca. Even though she did not have enough restyesterday, she could not drink coffee now.
"I'd like to have a cup of coffee," said Luke.
"Alright. Have your breakfast first. Let me prepare them for you," replied Aunt Neile. She walked intothe kitchen and prepared the soy milk and coffee for them.
After a while, the three kids who had cleaned themselves up made their way down the stairs. They satat the dining table, having their breakfast.
Tommy asked, "Daddy, you went to visit grandpa and grandma last night, right?"
"Yes." Luke tore off a bite-sized piece of bread and slowly chewed it.
"How are they?" Tommy asked again. He initially thought of waiting for Luke and Luca to come homebefore he went to sleep last night, but they came home late. Tommy was urged to go to bed. There wasno sign of them coming back even after he fell asleep.
"They are getting well. Don't worry. I'll take you to visit them when they get discharged from thehospital," replied Luke. He took a sip of the coffee. Aunt Neile learned how to make coffee from thebarista working in a cafe. The coffee she made tasted good, but the coffee Luca made was much betterthan hers.
"The adults love to tell us to wait." Tommy took a bite of his bread and turned to look at Luca. "Ms.Luca, we're worried about grandpa and grandma. Can you take us to the hospital?"
Luca would usually fulfill the kids' requests.
However, it was not the time to do so. She replied awkwardly, “They need more rest now. I'll take youthere when they get discharged from the hospital and return home."
"Ms. Luca, you must have discussed it with Daddy, right!" Tommy thought Luca would say yes when heasked for her help.
He did not expect to get rejected.
Luca smiled helplessly.
Rainie placed a piece of bread in front of Tommy, and said, "Tommy, your favorite homemade ham andcheese bread."
"Rainie..."
"Great-grandpa said that we shouldn't talk when we're having meals at the dining table. Tommy, if youmake it a habit, you'll get lectured by Great-grandpa when you return to Crawford Manor." Laniesuddenly spoke.
Tommy shut his mouth embarrassingly. He was afraid of Great-grandpa when he was strict with him!
"Daddy, if you're busy lately, send us back to Crawford Manor. We miss Great-grandpa so much,"suggested Lanie. Although no one told Lanie what was going on, he knew something serious must behappening.
"I'll send you back to Crawford Manor for two days to keep Great-grandpa's company this weekend,"replied Luke.
Even though they were busy, Luke believed that Luca would like her kids to stay beside her more.
That was why Luke did not send Lanie and the others to Crawford Manor right away.
The three kids headed to school after breakfast.
Luca watched them from behind. She could not help but mutter, "I think Lanie should skip a grade."
"Skip a grade?" Luke and Luca walked toward the garden. He was getting ready to go to work, and hischauffeur was already waiting at the entrance.
"Yeah," Luca told Luke what Lanie said to her.
"He can skip a grade indeed." Luke nodded. He decided not to let Lanie skip grades because hewanted Lanie to enjoy his childhood and not let him feel pressured by his studies.
This was what Bianca wanted back then.
He did not expect her to change her mind now.
Skipping a grade was something good for the child. After all, the difficulty of his current grade levelcurriculum was not hard at all.
"Perhaps you should think about it. I respect the child's decision. His teacher mentioned it to me before,but you rejected it." Luca walked to the back of the door. She stopped and turned to look at him.
Even though it was not the time to discuss the kids' academic issues, Luke had been busy the entiretime, and they could only discuss it in such a situation.
"It was his mother's wish not to let him skip grades. She wanted him to have a happy childhood, but itseemed like Lanie should skip a grade. It was what he wanted after all. I'll inform the teacher to arrange
for it." Luke turned to look at Luca. She almost drowned in the tenderness in his eyes.
