After Old Master Crawford had his breakfast, he left the gifts there and left with Uncle Zander.

He refused to bring the gifts back no matter what Luca said to him. Luca looked at the supplements on the table. She would not normally take these.

Moreover, she had a strong and healthy body.

Luca thought of returning them. Hence, she called Luke.

Luca took a deep breath after the call was answered. Then, she told him why she called. "Mr. Crawford, Old Master Crawford gave me a few boxes of supplements. Can I return them to you?"

Was she going to return the supplements that were given to her?

Luke raised his eyebrows. Others would have given the supplements to their family or friends if they did not take them. Some would have sold them back to the outlet. It was rare to see someone like her who would return the supplements.

Luca realized he was not saying anything, so she added, "I can't accept such expensive gifts from the old master. And I'm strong and healthy. I don't need to take supplements."

“You should accept the gifts. Don't return them. The old master gave them to you as a token of appreciation,” replied Luke. Old Master Crawford sent so many things to her to thank her.

Luca felt that she was being inappropriate after listening to what he said.

After all, it was the old master's thought that counted.

"I'm sorry. I was being careless." Luca apologized.

"No worries. How is your waist now? Does it still hurt?" Luke asked.

Luca could feel a touch of concern for her in his calm voice. Her heart skipped a beat and she said, "It's not hurting anymore. I can go to work on time tomorrow."

"You know how to speak Russian, right?" Luke questioned.

"Yes." Luca had been on the Island of Despair for years. She was somewhat fluent in the language now.

"A partner from Russia will be coming to talk business tomorrow. You should come and be the interpreter," Luke ordered.

"Huh?" Luca was surprised that she had to become an interpreter...

"Mr. Crawford, don't you know how to speak Russian too?" she blurted out. He was smart, and he knew how to speak a few foreign languages.

Luke raised his eyebrows and stared out the window of the study. The oak tree was swaying slightly in the wind.

It was Bianca's favorite tree.

“How did you know about that?" Luke asked.

“It's written on your personal information. It can be found online." Luca hurriedly covered up her mistake ingeniously. She was still wondering why he would ask her to become the interpreter if he knew how to speak the language.

“I can't possibly entertain them throughout the whole process. Eventually, I still need an interpreter. There's no one else except you who knows how to speak Russian in the company. Can you please help me entertain them?" Indeed, Luke was aware that his personal information was published online.

It was stated there that he knew how to speak several foreign languages. However, he was not sure whether Russian was mentioned or not.

"Alright. I'll do it." Luca took a breath. He would not be there all the time. It was reasonable for him to need an interpreter.

Luca remembered that T Corporation had never cooperated with any companies in Russia before. Was this the first time?

She suddenly remembered the tender document that she was assigned to steal. Although the company's headquarters was in New York, they had a branch in Russia.

This time, the project was mainly focused on Europe. Could it be that the branch company in Russia would be responsible for the project?

Then...

Luca had been feeling upset as she did not know how she should find the chance to steal it. However, the opportunity came knocking on her door.

Even so, she was not happy about any of this.

Luke ended the phone call after she agreed.

After the call ended, Luca picked up two bags of supplements and thought of giving them to Nina.

Some of them were suitable for Nina's mother to consume. Meanwhile, Nina could take the rest of them to nourish her body. She was too skinny, so she would need to take some supplements to replenish her health.

Luca contacted Nina, and after knowing that she was on her way to the hospital, Luca carried the bags and immediately went out without saying a word.

After she reached the hospital, she found out where Anna's ward was by asking the receptionist.

It was an ordinary ward. It seemed like Nina had made up her mind not to appease Anna anymore. Luca walked to the door of the ward. She was pleased to see that there were three people in the ward. However, their conversation did not sound pleasant.

"You'll have to undergo the surgery. I told you that I'll pay for the medical expenses. Is there anything else that you're not satisfied with?" Nina's voice traveled into Luca's ears.

“I told you that the amount of money you gave isn't enough to cover the medical expenses. You'll have to give me more." Anna's voice was high-pitched, but she sounded weak too.

It looked like the sickness could not be delayed any longer.

"I've asked the doctor." Nina's voice sounded a little grumpy. “I won't transfer the money into your account. I'll accompany you to the hospital for consultation every month. You'll take the medicine and I'll pay for them. You won't have anything to say about that, right?"

Anna hurriedly grabbed Jean's arm when she heard that she was not going to receive any money from Nina. “I have to take care of your brother. Give me more and I'll go for the surgery as you wish."

Luca rolled her eyes while she stood at the door.

If it was Jean who was taking care of Anna, she had no idea if Anna would be able to see the sun the next day.

She walked in.

Jean looked Luca straight in the eye the moment he saw her coming in. After finding out where Luca was staying, he had wanted to visit her. However, he was stopped by the security guard at the entrance. They told him that no one was allowed to enter without the tenant's permission. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

He had been busy with Anna's affair these days. Hence, he had temporarily stopped looking for her.

Jean felt like he was given a chance when he saw the woman he had longed to see appear in front of him.

“Luca, why are you here?" Nina did not expect to see her here. She unconsciously shot a glance at Jean. Darn, this man was certainly going to pester her.

“I'm here to visit Aunt Anna. And I got you something." Luca could feel their gazes on her as she came forward.

Anna looked at Luca as if she was looking at her daughter-in-law.

Jean stared at Luca while harboring some malicious thoughts in his mind. Nina was the only one who was worried about her.

Luca handed the two bags to Nina. "These are for you. They're to strengthen your body. And these are for Aunt Anna who'll be going for surgery. It'll be good for the body after the surgery."

Nina's expression was complicated when she accepted the things from Luca.

She had not solved the problem here. Anna refused to undergo surgery, and with Luca showing up here now, Jean now had the chance to get away with it.

“Ah, are you Ms. Luca? You're a beauty," Anna smiled and said.

Luca looked at Anna and her sallow appearance. Based on her condition now, her health would be in danger if she delayed surgery.

She did not expect Anna to be so hard on herself. She did not take her health seriously for the sake of money.

She refused to undergo surgery if Nina did not give her enough money. She was willing to do anything for that prodigal son of hers, Jean.
