Luca found an excuse to leave his bedroom after Luke agreed and nodded. She even helped him to close the door before she left.

Luke looked at the warm mug of milk on the table. He picked it up and took a sip of it.

He did not like the taste of milk, but he would never resist the milk that Luca brought him.

It was the same brand of milk and the same mouthfeel, but the taste was different after she heated it. He had asked Mrs. Nancy to heat milk for him before. However, it tasted different from when Luca heated it for him.

The same milk tasted different after she heated it.

Luke's eyes became gloomy as he looked at the milk in the mug. He said, “Bea, when are you coming back to me."

The following day.

Luca left the villa after she made breakfast for Luke and the children. She headed to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

She did not have to worry about what the children would be having for lunch as they would be following Luke back to Crawford Manor later.

It had been a long time since Luca came back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. She found the place unfamiliar now. After she walked into the building, she saw Mo, who was waiting for her in the lobby.

After she started working in T Corporation, she surrendered her access card. She did it so that she could avoid arousing any suspicion. It was also to prevent herself from getting into trouble in the future.

"Good morning, Dr. Craw." Mo let out a sigh of relief when she saw Luca. Fortunately, Luca was willing to put aside past matters and come here to help them. Otherwise, Dr. Albus would keep annoying her.

Mo was merely an assistant. Dr. Albus was having problems with his research, but he refused to take the initiative to ask for help from Luca himself. He wanted Mo, his assistant, to be the middle person. It was too troublesome.

"Good morning." Luca walked into the lobby and waited for Mo to swipe the card for her.

Mo swiped the card, and Luca stepped in.

Before Mo could begin with the pleasantries, Luca went straight to the point and asked, "Is Dr. Albus here yet?"

“Dr. Albus learned that you're willing to come over and help, so the team came to the office early in the morning. They're waiting for you upstairs," replied Mo.

Luca nodded and walked toward the elevator. "Come on. Let's not waste our time."

Mo let out a sigh when she saw how Luca was vigorous and speedy. None of the professors here had such an attitude.

Even though they would receive a handsome reward and good reputations after the drug they were researching on was launched into the market, those who were working under T Corporation were not bothered to fight for those perks. Many of them were slacking off. Without being given more incentives, they would be satisfied as long as their research progress reached the normal standards.

Hence, Mo could not help but exclaim when she met Luca again.

She trotted to the elevator and swiped the card. The elevator doors opened right away.

Both of them headed to the floor to meet Dr. Albus together.

The moment Luca saw Dr. Albus, the first thing that came into her mind was that he had lost some weight.

It seemed that he was distressed about his research.

"Hello, Dr. Craw." Dr. Albus greeted Luca more passionately than ever before when he saw her. After all, he had gotten stuck in his research. If he were to look for those friends of his for help, he would have to risk getting his research leaked. Besides, all the professors in the company were in no mood to help him. Luca was the only one who could help him at the moment.

Hence, he welcomed Luca enthusiastically.

"Hello." Luca felt indifferent toward his enthusiasm. She shot a glance at Mo, then turned to look at Dr. Albus again. She said, "Dr. Albus, I've gone through the information. Let's get straight to the point. We'll hold a meeting and discuss the next research approach, as well as how we're going to solve these problems."

"Sure. The meeting room is ready." Dr. Albus was even more surprised to see her agreeing to help him without setting any conditions.

If it were the other professors, they would certainly make demands and put Dr. Albus on the spot.

They were willing to help him, but on one condition—they wanted a share of the pie.

That was the reality of society.

Dr. Albus refused to share the fruits of his work with others. However, those professors would pressure him without considering the camaraderie they shared. They clearly did not contribute anything when his research was in its early stage, but they wanted to share his success.Original from .

He was unable to accept that.

That was why Dr. Albus was surprised when Luca agreed to come over to help him without asking for anything. At the same time, he saw Luca in a new light.

When the two of them got into the elevator and headed downstairs, Dr. Albus asked in a low voice, "Dr. Craw, are you sure you can help to solve the problems I'm facing?"

"I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I've done similar research when I was abroad. Perhaps I can help you," said Luca.

Dr. Albus' eyes brightened up when he heard that. "That's great. Thank you for helping me. Otherwise, our team would be in trouble."

Luca smiled at him. She walked out of the elevator when the doors opened.

On the other hand, in the villa.

Tommy woke up and could not find Luca. He adorably ran toward Luke and asked, "Daddy, where's Ms. Luca?"

“She went to work.” Luke moved his gaze away from the newspaper and glanced at his son.

After Luke finished the milk that Luca got him, it did not take long before he felt sleepy again. He put his work aside without a second thought and took a good night's sleep.

Tommy put his hands on his hips and asked, "Today's Saturday, right? Why is Ms. Luca working on weekends? You're not working either.”

"She went to her original company to help out a colleague. I have nothing to do with it," Luke explained to his son. He felt helpless when Tommy looked like he was about to blame him.

Tommy snorted as though he was blaming Luke for being irresponsible. "Daddy, did you bully Ms. Luca last night? Is that why she's not at home today?"

"Why would you say that?" Luke frowned when he looked at his son, who gave him a disapproving look.

"I saw you walking out from Ms. Luca's room last night. And you looked like something was bothering you," said Tommy.

"Spying on people at such a young age?" Luke lifted his head and flicked Tommy's forehead with his finger. "Stop talking nonsense, and stop imagining things. She went to help her ex-colleague. She didn't run away."

"Really?" Tommy was still doubting him.

"Yes." Luke was helpless when his own son refused to believe him. Tommy definitely got that skeptical behavior from him.

"Fine. I guess I won't get to eat Ms. Luca's cooking today." Tommy thought how unfortunate that was...

"She didn't forget about you. Breakfast is in the kitchen. Ask the maid to get it for you." Luke looked at that greedy look on Tommy's face. Luca had won the children's hearts with her cooking and maternal love.

Tommy clapped his hands happily when he heard that. "Really? Ms. Luca is awesome!"

He ran to the dining room.

Luke shook his head helplessly when he saw how happy Tommy was.

Just then, Luke's phone vibrated. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Percy.
