Although Queenie’s matter was urgent, it was not that urgent to the extent that it must be done tonight. When she heard Luca
promise to help, she replied immediately, “Alright. Then I’ll ask my driver to pick you up tomorrow.”
“It’s alright. I can go myself. Aunt Queenie, I have something to do. I’ve got to go.” She needed help, so of course, Luca would go
to her house. Luca did not want her to go back and forth, so she planned to go by herself.
“Sure, off you go.” Queenie was relieved.
After Luca hung up the phone, she pressed the password lock and entered the house. She saw the luggage that had not been
packed away. She got down and opened it before bringing out the laptop.
She carried the laptop and curled up on the couch. Then, she opened a software.
It was the hacker software installed by Amur. This made it easy for her to intrude into systems. Luca connected it to the internet
and hacked into A City’s immigration system.
The reason she did that was to check whether the person Queenie wanted her to help was Leia.
Although Luke had banned Leia from returning to the country, he was too busy to care about this these days. Leia had probably
returned to the country.
There was nothing after she did the initial search on the system.
Luca thought Leia dared not to return.
She thought for a while and searched Leia’s family name. There were a few names that appeared on the system after a while.
She clicked on each of them, and the second one was Leia’s details.
She had been staying in New York for a while. She took the opportunity to get a new identity there. This time, she used her new
identity to come back here.
That was why Luke did not notice her.
The person Queenie told her about was Leia... Luca already knew, so she did not have to wait until tomorrow to confirm it.
What problems could Leia have? Luca frowned as she could not figure it out, so she decided not to think about it anymore.
Luca walked into the bedroom and lay down on the bed. She fell asleep as her thoughts ran wild in her mind.
Night fell quickly in A City as it was about to be winter.
It was dark outside when Luca opened her eyes again. She heard the doorbell ringing, then she sat up and glanced at the
window. She had been asleep for quite some time.
The doorbell was still ringing. She got out of the bed and trotted quickly to the door.
She peeped through the peephole to check the situation outside. It was Luke who was standing outside the door.
Why was he here?
Luca was confused as she pushed the door open. “Mr. Crawford, why are you here?”
Luke did not intend to step forward. He stood at the door’s entrance and handed the bag he was carrying to her. “I bought you
dinner. Why did it take so long for you to open the door?”
Luca looked at the bag he was carrying in his hands. She recognized that it was the packaging of the restaurant near her
apartment.
She took it from him and explained, “I fell asleep just now. Thank you, Mr. Crawford.”
Luke looked at her slightly messy hair. He suddenly thought of the day she nearly drowned in the mountain villa. He found the air
a little dry and hot all of a sudden.
He kept his hands in his pockets and started breathing to regulate his discomfort. He said, “Don’t cook in the next few days.
Enjoy your meal. I’m leaving.”
“Mr. Crawford, have you eaten?” Luca blurted out her concern for him. She immediately lowered her head with regret after
saying that.
She should not have expressed her concern...
Luke was no fool. He could even read a woman’s mind.
He knew exactly who had a crush on him and who had different thoughts about him in their minds. However, he would choose to
ignore most of them...
Except Tia...
Tia’s admiration for him had already reached the extent that she was no longer concealing her feelings for him, but Luke did not
ignore her. Instead...
Luca recalled the scene of him being together with Tia in the coffee shop. She felt sick in her heart.
It was just that, she had no right to feel sick about it...
“I’ve eaten.” Luke shot her a glance. The way she was looking down was like she had just done something shameful.
He remembered what had happened during noontime today. He was thinking if he should say something about it. At last, he
reminded her, “Don’t wander about. You’re injured.”
After a reminder from him, her heart could no longer calm down.
“Alright. I got it. Thank you, Mr. Crawford.” Luca thought it might be unwise to ask about what had happened today.
She let out a sigh of relief as she watched Luke turn around and left. Then, she closed the door.
Luca opened the takeaway container and looked at the dishes inside. They were all the ones she had eaten with Luke and
Tommy. They were the ones she thought were good.
She did not order anything that time. It was Luke who ordered the food, but there were a few good ones among them. Hence,
she ate extra mouthfuls of them.
She did not expect Luke to notice that and ordered food for her this time according to that time.
Was it a coincidence?
Luca ate a mouthful of white bread. She wondered if she should tell Luke that Leia had returned...
She pondered for a while and decided not to tell him about it. It would be difficult for her to explain if she told him.
No matter how good Leia was at hiding, Luke would know about it eventually.
Luca ate her dinner after she decided that. She then took the medicine and cleaned herself up. Lastly, she applied the ointment
and lay down on the bed. She put her phone down and fell asleep after sending Amur a text message.
The next day.
She woke up early. There were some eggs left in the fridge before she went on the trip. She fried two eggs for breakfast. After
having breakfast, she went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed to the Norman family’s house.
It was still early when she reached.
Luca ran into Jack, who was ready to go to work when she got out of the car. When he saw Luca, he came over and said, “Dr.
Craw, why are you so early? Thank you for coming here.”
He knew Queenie had called Luca to come here.
Before this, he was in disagreement with her plans. If Queenie had not gone on a hunger strike to protest, he would never have
agreed with it.
The husband and wife did not expect Leia to come back all of a sudden. She was a troublemaker. Jack was thinking of sending
her back to New York, but Nyla claimed that she was sick and pointed to her pale face.
He only compromised after Queenie cried. After all, he could not bear to see her like that. He let Nyla stay with them temporarily
and was keeping it a secret. He did not let Luke know about it.
Even so, Luke would eventually find out about it even if he did not know now.
Leia would be sent back by him the moment he found out. They would only have to silently accept it when the time came.
It was not because Jack was heartless but it was for Queenie’s sake. Leia was the one who made her suffer all these years.
However, once she restored her health, she would forget about everything.
As for the daughter who drugged her foster mother, no matter how close they were as father and daughter, Jack could never
accept it.
Luca shook her head. “It’s nothing. Aunt Queenie can have peace of mind if I come earlier to treat the patient.”
Indeed, Queenie was worried about Leia. If it were not because she was asking a favor from Luca, she would have asked Luca
to come here immediately.
She had tossed and turned in bed but she could not even sleep.
Jack looked at Luca in admiration. How could two people who were the same age be so different? One was sensible and
thoughtful, while the other was such a ridiculous person. If he had the chance to choose between them, he would wish that Luca
was their daughter instead.
