Chapter 2657

Gale could not help but ask with curiosity, “Boss, are you picking up someone from the airport?"

“We're going there to stop someone from leaving," replied Luke.

Gale understood at once. He knew that Luke was on a call with the police not long ago. He wasprobably heading to the airport to stop Matysh. "Alright, Boss. Do we need to bring more men with us?"

"The police will be arresting him. We're heading there to be onlookers." Luke's eyes darkened. He wasnot planning to get himself involved in the police's arrest.

However, if the police failed to catch Matysh, Gale and Rain could help.

"Got it, Boss. I'll have a few men arranged in front of the airport security to wait for him," replied Gale ashe immediately understood what Luke meant.

Gale and Rain would follow Luke to the airport. Their main purpose was to watch them, and those menwho were guarding the airport would also stop Matysh from escaping.

"Okay." Luke hung up the call.

He continued to go through the document.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Luke said, "Come in."

Aunt Neile gently pushed the door open and reminded Luke, "Mr. Crawford, it's time for dinner."

"Is Luca back yet?" asked Luke.

"Ms. Craw just came back. She's checking the kids' homework downstairs," Aunt Neile replied happily.Then, she noticed Luke was still looking at the computer screen. She asked, "Mr. Crawford, do youneed me to bring your dinner upstairs?"

"It's okay. I'll go downstairs to have dinner after I finish reading the document. Tell them to have dinnerfirst." Luke turned the page. He could not keep the kids waiting with an empty stomach, but heassumed that he needed ten more minutes to finish going through the document before he could havedinner.

"Alright, Mr. Crawford." Aunt Neile turned around and headed downstairs.

When Aunt Neile came down to the first floor, Luca looked up and asked, "Is Mr. Crawford comingdown for dinner?"

"Yes. Mr. Crawford said he'll be coming down later. He told me to ask the kids to have dinner first. Ms.Craw, should I serve dinner so that you and the kids can have dinner first?" Aunt Neile asked for heropinion.

"Sure." Luca nodded. Even though she wanted to wait for Luke, she could not bear to see the kids gohungry.

Luca came home late today, but the kids insisted on waiting for her to return and have dinner with her.That was why they were having dinner later than usual.

The kids were already starving when she was checking Tommy's homework for him.

Luca got to Lanie's homework and confirmed that there was no problem with it. She placed it on thetable. Then, she said to the three kids, “You must be hungry. Let's have dinner."

"Alright, Ms. Luca." The three of them walked into the dining room together.

After they sat down at the table, they waited for Aunt Neile and the maid to serve dinner.

Tommy was hungry. Thus, he looked more gluttonous than usual as he watched Aunt Neile serve everydish on the table.

Luca noticed that and reminded the children, "No matter how late your father and I, you have to eatyour dinner on time. Don't repeat what you did today, waiting for me to come back with emptystomachs."

Rainie looked at Luca, who had a stern expression on her face, and replied, "Ms. Luca, we want tohave dinner with you. Besides, we had some refreshments when we came back from school. We're notthat hungry."

"Yes. We're not really that hungry." Tommy agreed with her.

It was just that the kids could not hide their thoughts and Luca could see through them very clearly.Then, she said, "You'll have to maintain a good habit of having your dinner on time, okay? Are yougoing to eat fruits later after having dinner? Won't you feel stuffed when you go to bed later?"

Tommy shifted his eyes and thought what Luca said made sense.

However, the kids put that all together really fast. They immediately thought of a solution to solve theproblem. "Ms. Luca, we won't have to eat a lot for dinner. That way, we won't feel stuffed after we havefruits later!"

Luca did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw how quick-witted the kids were.

Aunt Neile and the maid served all the dishes on the dining table and said to them, "Ms. Luca, YoungMaster Blanche, Ms. Rainie, Young Master Tommy, dinner is served. You may have your dinner now."

"Thank you, Aunt Neile," Luca and the three kids happened to reply to her at the same time.

Aunt Neile returned to the kitchen.

Rainie glanced at Luca, who was eating her dinner with one hand. She asked thoughtfully, "Ms. Luca,when will you be able to remove the stitches?"

"Probably within these two days," answered Luca. She could feel that her wound was almost healed,but she had to see how it was after changing the dressing.

If her wound was almost healed after changing the dressing tonight, she would head to the hospital toremove the stitches tomorrow.

Lanie, who had been quiet, piped in, "The medical book states that it takes at least seven days toremove the stitches. Ms. Luca, it's not even seven days yet."

Lanie was even counting the days for Luca.

When he heard Luca say that she would be removing the stitches in these two days, he was worriedLuca was being too hasty.

Her wound would get infected easily if she removed the stitches when the wound was not healed yet.

"The knowledge in medical books is usually based on clinical experiences. Some patients have poorselfhealing ability, and their cells have poor regeneration ability. They might need ten days to healbefore they can remove the stitches, but some people heal faster. They don't need seven days for theirwounds to heal. Sometimes, they can remove the stitches on the fourth day or the fifth day. Besides,the size and depth of the wound will affect how long the stitches stay in. So, there's no uniformstandard for this," Luca explained to Luca while having her dinner.

Tommy asked, “Ms. Luca, are you someone who can heal faster than others?”

“I think so. My self-healing ability is good. That's why my wound is almost healed.” Luca turned to lookat Lanie. She smiled and said, “Even though it's inconvenient for me to have my hand bandaged, I takemy injury very seriously. Don't worry."

"Yes, Lanie. Did you forget Ms. Luca is a medical expert? She must know when to remove the stitches.Don't worry about it." Rainie knew Lanie was worried about Luca, and she comforted him too.

Lanie's face reddened, and he immediately lowered his head to eat his dinner.

Rainie smiled and mouthed her words, “Ms. Luca, Lanie's being shy.”

Even though Rainie uttered her words indistinctly, Lanie could still hear them. He lectured his youngersister with a serious expression on his face, "Daddy told us not to speak when we're having our meal."

“Lanie, you were talking too!” Rainie refuted.

Luca did not know whether to laugh or cry as she watched the two of them bicker.

After a while, Luke came downstairs.

Aunt Neile immediately served him a warm bowl of soup and said, “Mr. Crawford, please have dinner.”

“Okay.” Luke nodded and shot a glance at Luca. He noticed that she was still eating with one hand. Hesaid, “I'll take you to the hospital four days later and let Johann take a look at your wound. If yourwound is healed, then you can remove the stitches.”novelbin

Before Luca could say anything, Tommy replied, “Ms. Luca said she can remove the stitches tomorrowor the day after tomorrow.”

“That soon?” Luke frowned.

“Yes. My body has a better self-healing ability. That's why I heal quickly,” explained Luca.

“Let Johann take a look at it. Don't force yourself to remove the stitches if the wound isn't healed yet.”Luke was still worried and asked her to listen to Johann's advice.

“Alright...” Luca promised. She initially planned to look for Johann to help her remove the stitchesanyway.

The three kids returned to the living room to watch a cartoon show after dinner.

Luca was about to stand up, but she heard Luke saying, “I have to go out tonight, and I might comehome late.”
