Luca's fingers slightly curled.novelbin
Wanda was currently still in the hospital. She did not tell Old Master Rayne about it.
That was why he believed that Wanda was traveling.
Meanwhile, Luca was worried that Old Master Rayne would sense something was wrong. She feltguilty for not accompanying him at the Rayne family house.
He needed someone to keep him company now. Yet as his granddaughter, she could not even be theone to do that, and she even lied to him...
"What's the matter?" asled Old Master Crawford, noticing Luca fall silent.
"It's nothing. It just kind of reminded me of Ms. Rayne's illness. But I heard Dr. Park say that the breastcancer specialist has arrived in A City to consult Ms. Rayne. Her condition currently seems fit forsurgery. So, they're planning to perform the surgery soon in the next few days. She should be able togo home immediately after the surgery,” rambled Luca before snapping out of her thoughts.
Luca had been keeping tabs on Wanda's condition, always asking Johann about her.
Johann would also take the initiative to tell her about Wanda's condition by sending her messages,going as far as violating he hospital rules to send her the patient's medical records.
Luca needed to understand Wanda's condition in order to help her recover.
"I heard that you've been treating her, huh?" asked Old Master Crawford curiously. He was moresurprised now than when he learned that Luca's true identity was Bianca.
She had no knowledge of medicine and naturopathy before. Yet, it only took her 3 years to gain suchskills in the medical field.
Old Master Crawford could not help but wonder what terrible things Luca had experienced on theIsland of Despair to make her the competent person she is now.
"Ms. Rayne needs to receive chemotherapy treatment. All I did was prescribe some medicine toalleviate the side effects of chemotherapy.” Luca shook her head before adding, “It's a process toalleviate pain, so it can't be considered as real treatment."
"But it still takes skill to be able to do that," complimented Old Master Crawford. Although he neverexperienced it himself, he knew about the side effects and the pain one had to suffe when receivingchemotherapy treatment.
However, he heard that Wanda did not feel much pain after she took Luca's medicine. At that point, shehad already gone through a few rounds of chemotherapy treatment. Other than that, Luca had beenhelping nurse the health of the people around her, he thought it was admirable and impressive.
That was why Old Master Crawford thought Luke had deliberately lied to him when he told him thatLuca's true identity was Bianca.
It wasn't until Luke showed him Luca's and Rainie's paternity test result that he believed that thiswoman, who possessed such a high level of medical expertise, was indeed his daughter-in-law,Bianca.
Not only was Old Master Crawford shocked, but he also felt proud of her. However, it broke his heartwhen he thought about why Luca had learned so much.
She had done a lot for the Crawford family before she was kidnapped. She had given Luke their threechildren.
With just these two acts alone, Luca was worthy of respect from everyone in the Crawford family.
Old Master Crawford was very pleased with his granddaughter-in-law. Even though she concealed heridentity after she got kidnapped and returned to them, she treated them sincerely and kindly. OldMaster Crawford hoped that Luke could quickly solve all their problems and reintroduce Luca to herkids as soon as possible.
After all, it was not easy to hear her own child calling her 'Ms. Luca' instead of 'mom'.
"It's just pharmacological knowledge, nothing too magical. Ms. Rayne's condition turned out to be nottoo bad after all. Besides, with her optimistic mindset..." Luca trailed off, running out of things to say.
Wanda's health was deteriorating rapidly. In fact, she wasn't optimistic either, she was growing moreand more pessimistic by the day.
However, Luca lied to Old Master Crawford to ensure that he didn't think she was doing somethingmiraculous.
Old Master Crawford had been in the business world for many years. He had made his company - TCorporation, strong. He was good at observing people.
While Luca did not bat an eye, he could still sense her restlessness under that calm expression on herface.
Old Master Crawford gave her a kind smile, "You're right. Doctors can only cure the sickness. It mainlydepends on one's own efforts when it comes to the psychological aspect.”
"Well, as long as Ms. Rayne stays positive, she'll be able to recover soon and get discharged from thehospital," replied Luca. After all, diseases relating to the breast were often caused by emotions.
In the past, when Wanda married and moved to Japan, she never quite found the happiness in her life.She was always depressed and sad, which was a major reason for her health issues.
"Her health is all that matters. Rayne misses her. He has no idea what Wanda is going through. It'll bedifficult for Rayne if anything happens to her..." Old Master Crawford heaved a heavy sigh. Eventhough Old Master Rayne had a son and a daughter, he only had Wanda left after Kevin's passing.
Kevin only had one daughter, Bianca. Even though the real Bianca was here, Old Master Rayne stillthought Bianca had lost her memory, and that she had no emotional connection with them. He believedshe was living abroad now.
Wanda married and divorced. She had no children. Hence, Old Master Rayne only had his daughterleft.
Old Master Crawford had no idea if he could handle if something happened to Wanda.
Luca felt a lump in her throat as she listened to the old master talk about it.
Her grandfather had lived a bitter and tragic life. If something happened to Wanda, he would be left allalone.
If he experienced the loss of two loved ones, his body would probably collapse. Therefore, they had tosave Wanda no matter what!
"By the way, Luca, what do you think of Luke?" Old Master Crawford sensed Luca's sadness andquickly changed the topic of the conversation.
Luca was startled for a moment and looked at the old master. What did he mean?
"Mr. Crawford is a kind person,” answered Luca hesitantly.
Old Master Crawford observed her reaction and could not help but chuckle, "Yes. Luke's a kind person.You're right."
Luca was even more confused when she saw the old master's reaction.
Before she could say anything, Mr. Griffin walked into the living room and leaned close to Old MasterCrawford, whispering to him, "Old Master Bourne is here."
"Bourne? Why did he come here?" frowned Old Master Crawford. Old Master Bourne would alwaysinform him in advance before coming to visit him.
However, he had arrived with no prior announcement today.
"Old Master Bourne didn't say anything. But he brought a middle-aged man with him, who appears tobe from the Jackman family," replied Mr. Griffin. He had been by Old Master Crawford's side for somany years that he knew everyone in the upper class society of A City.
"The Bourne and Jackman?" Old Master Crawford glanced at Luca.
It reminded Luca of Mrs. Jackman when the Jackman family's name was mentioned. Luca rose to herfeet, "Old Master Crawford, I should leave first since you have guests to attend to."
"Sure. Let's talk again next time," Old Master Crawford waved his hand with a kind expression on hisface. Once Luca turned around and left, he turned to Mr. Griffin, and asked, "What's the relationshipbetween Bourne and Jackman?"
Mr. Griffin recalled the relationship between the two families and replied, "I heard that LonnieJackman's cousin is married to Old Master Bourne's son."
"Oh, that explains why. Lonnie must have begged Bourne to come and plead on behalf of hisdaughterin-law. Let them in," replied Old Master Crawford as he understood clearly what was going on
now.
