Chapter 3033
After what he said, Luca got out of the car feeling relieved.
Luke took the bag out of the trunk and said, “Let's go in."
The children were all smiles as they walked in front while Luca, and Luke walked behind.
"Are you nervous?" Luke noticed her stiff expression.
"I'm worried that Old Master Crawford will be mad at us for being so late." Luca nodded. Having lived atCrawford Manor for so long, she knew that Old Master Crawford hated tardy people.
"He's looking forward to your return." Luke held her hand. He led her through the front yard and into theliving room.
The children were gathered around the old man, talking to him with smiles on their faces.
Luca walked in and saw that Old Master Crawford was not upset, so she breathed a sigh of reliefbefore greeting him, "Good evening, Old Master Crawford."
"Haha, good evening, Luca." Old Master Crawford did not ask Luca to change the way she addressedhim, nor did he change the way he addressed her.
Luke had reminded him that Luca's identity could not be exposed. There were several maids in themanor, so he followed Luke's wishes and called her Luca.
"Sorry for being late. Something came up," Luca apologized first.
"Don't worry about it. Dinner is ready, so should we eat?" Old Master Crawford was more worried abouthis precious great-grandchildren going hungry.
Luca glanced at Luke.
Luke walked over and helped Old Master Crawford up before saying, "Let's eat, Grandpa."
Old Master Crawford stood up and shook his head when he saw Luke holding his hand. "I don't needhelp. I can walk on my own."
"Grandpa..." Luke was speechless when he saw him pushing his hand away.
"I'm serious. Let's go to the dining hall," said Old Master Crawford energetically while holding his cane.
Mr. Griffin smiled and said, "Ever since Ms. Craw helped Old Master Crawford recover, he has gottenmuch better. He has the strength to walk now. He only needs a cane, and he doesn't need much helpfrom others."
Luke looked at Old Master Crawford walking and then at Luca.
She had gone through so much the past few years...
She had suffered so much because of him, yet she still took care of his family without a singlecomplaint after she returned.
Luke went to her and said, "It's all thanks to you."
Smiling, Luca shook her head.
She learned everything she knew about pharmacology from Shanks. She had learned everything shecould possibly learn, so she was confident in her skills.
If she had attained this knowledge a few years ago, she would have started to heal Old MasterCrawford back then. Maybe he would not even need a cane now.
However, she could not turn back time, so she could only do her best to help him right now.
"Let's go eat," said Luca before following Old Master Crawford into the dining hall.
The cook knew that Luke was coming, so she had already placed the dishes on the table.
There were a plethora of dishes. Luca did not think that Old Master Crawford would have the kitchenprepare so much. She could not help but wonder how three adults and three children would be able tofinish all of it.
There was no way they could finish it all.
At the dinner table, Old Master Crawford was different from his usually quiet self. Now, he kept askingLuca to eat more.
It was much more lively now, and the kids could not help themselves from talking about school. It madeOld Master Crawford very happy.
Old Master Crawford was chuckling.
After dinner, Luca picked up the jars of herbs and explained to the cook the effects of each one ofthem. She was worried that the cook would not remember, so she asked the butler for a pen and somepaper to write the things down before sticking them on the jars.
Then, she told the cook the recipes.
The cook knew that these herbs could be used for cooking, but she did not expect that they could beused in so many dishes.
Old Master Crawford did not enjoy the taste of herbs. When Luca said that he would not be able totaste the herbs in these recipes, she did not believe her.
However, Old Master Crawford had asked the cook to follow Luca's recipes, so she had to take note ofwhat Luca said.
This took an hour.
Luca was so meticulous she even told the cook what were the maximum dosages for each ingredient.
The cook felt as if her brain was being forcibly stuffed. She was starting to get confused, so it was agood thing Luca had written down the key points.
That way, she could just refer to Luca's notes with the dosages marked clearly. She would not getconfused. The butler was listening in too in case she forgot.
Not to mention, he was carefully taking notes.
The cook put away the notes Luca wrote. “Ms. Craw, these herbs don't look like much, but there's somuch to know about them."
"These are good for people with cardiovascular diseases, and adding these in food will help a lot," saidLuca. Instead of taking modern medicine directly, Luca thought that a medicated diet would help in thelong run.
Having medicine by itself was extremely bitter. On the contrary, having herbs with food would not tasteas bad, so most would choose to have it with food.
Old Master Crawford said cheerfully, "Having it in my food is much better than taking modernmedicine."
When Luca was explaining to the cook, Old Master Crawford had the butler bring a chessboard andasked Luke to play with him.
In the past hour, they had played three games of chess.
The children were not interested in what Luca was talking about, nor were they interested in watchingOld Master Crawford play chess with Luke. Thus, they just started reading their books.novelbin
The huge living room had a lively atmosphere.
"It's good that you're able to accept it. Let me know when you've finished these, and I'll prepare morefor you after assessing your health."
Luca guessed that Old Master Crawford would get much better after finishing these, so she would haveto assess him and adjust the dosages after this batch.
"Alright." Old Master Crawford nodded happily.
After the butler kept the notes, he asked Luca while putting away the herbs, "Ms. Craw, how should Istore these?"
Luca gave it some thought before replying, "I've already sealed the herbs in glass jars, but to be safe,it's best to store them in a cool, dry, and dark place.
"When using, try not to use your hands. But if you must, remember to wash your hands and wipe themdry. That way, the herbs will last longer and be more effective."
