Chapter 2803
Rhett would not dare to ask such questions. Therefore, he quickened his pace and caught up withLuca.
Luca walked into the office and sat on the chair. She opened the documents and assigned tasks toRhett.
"Please deliver these to the Finance Department. Mr. Crawford has already signed and approved them.The funds will be approved by them. As for these two, please hand them over to the ProcurementDepartment. We'll need some new equipment for our new research. Mr. Crawford has also approvedit," Luca spoke non-stop. She knew that Luke had approved everything. It was unlikely that the otherdepartments would disagree with it.
Rhett nodded silently as he glanced at the documents.
He also had a part in handling these documents. Hence, he easily remembered what Luca said.
After Luca gave her instructions, she added, "I need to leave early today, and I'm probably not comingtomorrow. Please help me to request a day off."
Luca planned to go back to the villa now and cook a meal for Wanda.
Wanda would be having surgery tomorrow. She probably would not have much of an appetite for a fewdays.
Luca wanted to prepare Wanda's favorite food before she lost her appetite.
She was worried that she would not be able to deliver the meal to Wanda on time if she went homelater. After all, fasting was required before the surgery.
"Okay." Rhett noticed that Luca did not look so good. Something must have happened. Hence, hemade a mental note of everything.
After Rhett carried the documents and left, Luca packed up her things and left the building.
She had already informed Warren. Therefore, she headed to the entrance and got into the car.
Luca first went to the supermarket.
She needed to buy ingredients to prepare Wanda's favorite food as the ingredients needed might notbe in the fridge.
Luca quickly made her purchases. Aunt Neile was surprised after Luca returned to the villa. "Ms. Craw,why are you so early today?"
It was not even five o'clock in the evening yet.
"Well, I bought some ingredients. I'm planning to cook a meal and take it to the hospital," answeredLuca.
"Alright." Aunt Neile's mind went blank for a moment.
Aunt Neile followed Luca into the kitchen and asked, “Ms. Craw, should I prepare tonight’s dinner,then?”
She knew that Luke was not coming back for dinner.
Now that Luca was going to prepare dinner, did she need to prepare dinner as well?
"No, Aunt Neile. I'll take care of it myself. You may get off work," replied Luca. She did not need AuntNeile to prepare dinner, so she planned to let her leave early.
Aunt Neile was happy to be able to leave work early, but she felt a bit guilty for leaving Luca alone toprepare dinner alone when she saw how many ingredients Luca had brought home.
"Ms. Craw, let me help you. The two of us can get things done faster," said Aunt Neile. It was not timeto prepare dinner yet, but Luca wanted to start now, which meant that she wanted to prepare it early.
Aunt Neile’s cooking skills were incomparable to Luca’s, so Luca was the one taking charge while AuntNeile would only assist her.
"Alright. Thank you, Aunt Neile," said Luca. There was no need to rush since Aunt Neile was willing toassist her.
Luca thought that it would take quite some time if she prepared everything by herself.
Two hours later, Luca finally finished preparing a table full of dishes.
The meal prepared was sumptuous. It had a wonderful mix of fish, meat, and a delectable soup to top itoff!
Aunt Neile could not help but exclaim, "Ms. Craw, are you expecting guests for dinner at home?" If thatwas the case, she could not just leave.
The maid was not there to attend to the guests when there were guests coming to their house. Thatwould not make any sense at all.
"No, I'm preparing them for a patient." Luca shook her head.
"A patient? Can the patient finish all these?" Aunt Neile clicked her tongue. There was no way thewhole family could finish all the dishes prepared even if Luca joined dinner, not to mention just onepatient!
"Well, she can't finish them all. I'm not sure what she likes to eat, so I prepared some extra dishes. I'llwrap some of each dish and take it to the hospital. Aunt Neile, your family hasn't prepared dinner yet,right? Take some and bring them home for dinner later," said Luca as she took out two lunch boxes.
Even if she filled the two lunch boxes, there would still be a lot left due to the large potion.
Aunt Neile shook her head and said, "It’s okay. Both you and Mr. Crawford have to eat dinner too."
"I'll just have some of the barbecue ribs. Mr. Crawford won't be coming home for dinner tonight, so wecan just save some soup for him. As for the rest, they won't taste good if we put them in the refrigeratorand leave them until tomorrow. Besides, you'll end up eating it for lunch tomorrow anyway if we leavethe leftovers in the fridge. It's better to eat the food while it's still fresh. Anyway, you’ve got quite a largefamily in your house. These will be enough for everyone," replied Luca. She initially did not think aboutAunt Neile when she bought so many ingredients and prepared so many dishes.
Luca only wanted to prepare dishes that Wanda liked.
She only realized that she had prepared too much after that. It would be a waste not to finish them all.That was why she asked Aunt Neile to take some home.
“Thank you, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile thought what Luca said made sense.
"I'm going to the hospital now. Just pack the food and go home," replied Luca. She put the two lunchboxes into a thermal lunch bag and headed out.
Luca came back carrying a bunch of ingredients two hours ago.
Two hours later, she left with two lunch boxes and a thermos bag.
Aunt Neile could not help but wonder if Luca's relative was sick.
However, she heard that Luca's relatives lived abroad...
It was beyond Aunt Neile's reach to find out about it. Thus, she left the soup and barbecue ribs on thetable and took the rest home.
The dishes Luca prepared tasted incredibly delicious. Her precious grandson would enjoy his dinner somuch tonight.
In the hospital.
Luca walked into Wanda's hospital room, carrying two lunch boxes.
"Luca, what brings you here?" Wanda was surprised to see her. She did not expect Luca to show up atthis hour.
Did she not just finish work? Did she rush to the hospital after work?
"Ms. Rayne, Dr. Willa said that you're having surgery tomorrow. That's why I came to visit you." Lucaplaced the lunch boxes on the coffee table and observed Wanda's complexion.
Other than her face turning pale when the surgery was mentioned, she seemed to be in good spirits.
It appeared that the chemotherapy sessions and the medicine prescription that Wanda took had notcaused significant side effects to her body.novelbin
It was a silver lining in such an unfortunate situation.
"That's very kind of you. It was difficult for Dr. Willa to find some time and schedule the surgery fortomorrow." Even though Wanda was afraid of what would happen after the surgery, she felt like sheshould not be showing her feelings and making others feel sympathy for her.
Even though Luca was not a stranger, there were no blood ties between them.
However, Luca had already shown enough care and concern for her.
"That's great. I hope the surgery goes well and you can recover soon. Since you're not allowed to eator drink before the surgery, I brought you dinner before the fasting time. Why don't you have dinnernow?" asked Luca as she opened the meal box.
Wanda had no appetite as she was worried about tomorrow's surgery. She initially intended to askLuca to leave the lunch boxes there, but then she caught a whiff of the aroma of the food in the air.
It whetted her appetite.
"It smells good. What's in the lunch boxes?" Wanda was curious. She walked toward Luca and satdown on the chair.
Luca pushed the lunch boxes toward Wanda and said, "It's not much. I prepared them myself. There'sa variety of dishes. Why don't you try some?"
