Vivian’s face reddened as she felt embarrassed for receiving such a compliment from Luca. She said, “Hey, you’re exaggerating it. How am I pretty with these looks…”“Beauty is confidence. Come on. Stand up straight. Be confident.” Luca patted Vivian’s shoulders, signaling her to stand tall.Vivian stood straight.“Vivian, did you realize your skin condition has improved after coming to A City…” Luca sized her up and suddenly said this to her.Vivian touched her face and asked, “Is that so? It’s probably because I have makeup on.”“No. I’m looking at the skin on your neck and hands.” Luca pointed at Vivian’s neck. Vivian had not put on her scarf since they were not going out yet. She could see that Vivian’s skin was fairer and more hydrated than before."Really? I didn't notice that." Vivian stood in the foyer and looked at herself in the mirror for some time. Still, she did not notice that her skin had become fairer. “You’ve been looking at yourself in the mirror all day. Of c
"My friend will contact me if anything happens. Don't worry about it." Luca pushed the dormitory's door open and walked into it arm-in-arm with Vivian.It was a twin dormitory room for postgraduate students.Vivian’s roommate had yet to arrive.Luca closed the door behind them without bothering about how awkward the expression on the male student's face was.Vivian smiled and said, “He has a thing for you!”“Is that even considered as having feelings for me?” Luca frowned and refuted, “He only wants me to be one of his backups.”“You’re pretty,” said Vivian. Luca carried her years well. Hence, it was normal for guys to be interested in her. “I’m getting on in years,” replied Luca. At the same time, she secretly muttered that she was also a mother of four kids."You look like a college student. That's why he's interested in you. It's understandable," said Vivian as she looked at the bunk bed in the dormitory. She was a little worried that her head would hit the ceiling when she
“I’m married, and I have kids.” What the male student said to her had already caught the attention of some students in the cafeteria. Luca felt awkward.The male student widened his eyes. He shook his head, refusing to believe what Luca said. “How’s that possible? You look so young. How could it be?”“Thank you for your compliment. But I’m married and I do have kids. Besides, I’ve been working for quite a long time. I’m not a student. My friend can testify for me.” Luca grabbed Vivian’s arm.The male student turned to look at Vivian, seeking proof.Vivian nodded and spoke in English with a stammer, “Yes. I can vouch for her. What she said is true.”The expression on the male student’s face changed. He dared not believe that the young woman in front of him was not a student and that she was married with children…The people around them were looking at him. Some of them were his classmates. The male student felt ashamed. He was in a hurry to save his dignity and said, “The universi
“Ms. Craw, have some tea.” The caretaker handed Luca a cup of warm tea.“Thank you.” Luca sat on the sofa, looking at the couple. They looked fine, and they did not look unwell.“Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, how do you feel today?” Luca asked caringly.“Great. We don’t feel dizzy anymore. Don’t worry.” Jack knew Luca was worried about them, so he quickly comforted her.“Glad to hear that. Did the doctor say anything?” Luca asked and turned to look at the caretaker at the same time.The caretaker replied, “The doctor gave Mr. and Mrs. Norman thorough physical examinations. The results are good. There’s no internal bleeding in the brain, and their bodies function well. It’s just that there are some bruises. They’ll be fine after resting for a while. It’s a fortune in misfortune.”Luca nodded. Jack and Queenie were not seriously injured because of the incident. It could have been worse.Then, Luca said, “Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, you’ll be able to get well soon.”“Yes. I think so too.
Leia's current behavior was a pain in the neck. The hospital was planning to improve the security of the VIP floor. The head nurse had complained to Jack before. Even the most difficult news reporter she met was not as difficult as Leia. The security guards and nurses on duty dared not to take her lightly. They were worried that they would accidentally let Leia slip into the ward.Johann even said that they would include Leia’s name in the hospital’s blacklist if they could.Queenie heaved a sigh and said, “That’s true…”Luca listened to their conversation. She suddenly felt sorry for them. Leia had gone over the top and done so many bad things. She did not deserve Queenie’s love! “Come on, stop sighing. She’s not young anymore. Besides, she gets an allowance every month. She’ll be fine.” Jack comforted her. Was Leia’s health not the reason why Queenie wanted to go home so badly? They could not let Leia know their condition now. That was why they could only stay in the h
Queenie could not help but wonder when she saw Jack’s attitude. “Aren’t you fond of Luca? What’s with your reaction now that I’m suggesting her becoming our god-daughter?”“Perhaps Luca won’t want to? Besides, Leia gets jealous easily. If we acknowledge Luca as our god-daughter, what will she think?” Jack immediately brought up the subject of Leia getting jealous when he noticed Queenie’s intentions.Queenie fell silent when he mentioned Leia.If they really acknowledged Luca as their god-daughter, Leia would be jealous of Luca judging from her personality.Queenie shook her head and said, “Forget about it.”It set Jack’s mind at ease when Queenie gave up on the idea. After all, Luca was their biological daughter. There was no need to acknowledge her as their god-daughter.“I didn’t know you still cared about Leia.” Queenie heaved a sigh.Jack was stunned for a moment. He was overwhelmed with complicated feelings for a minute or two.He initially thought of making an excuse for
“Okay. Then remember to remind her to take the medicine half an hour later,” said Luca attentively.“I will,” replied the caretaker as she kept the empty lunchbox away.“Ms. Rayne, I should leave and go back to work. Cooperate with the doctors and receive your treatment. Don’t be afraid. Medical technology is advanced now. You’ll be fine.” Luca knew what Wanda had in mind. Hence, every word she said was to comfort her.“Okay. Off you go.” Wanda’s heart was warm. She did not know why Luca cared for her so much.After Luca left, the caretaker could not help but ask, “Ms. Rayne, is she your relative? Your niece?”“No, she’s not.” Wanda shook her head. She had mentioned to the caretaker that she had a niece.However, her niece was currently abroad. She could not come back. That was why Wanda thought no one would come to visit her.Therefore, when Luca showed up and showed Wanda some concern, the caretaker thought Luca was Wanda’s niece.Still, Luca had indeed warmed Wanda’s heart
Therefore, it did not matter if they were looking at it from Luca's or Queenie's perspective. Handing the recovered surveillance footage to the police was not a good idea.Luca agreed with him and nodded.“Would you like to follow me to the hospital tonight?” Luke asked her.Luca wanted to know why he wanted to head to the hospital. "Is it that urgent?" “Queenie is looking for Leia all day long. I think we should let her know what kind of person Leia is as soon as possible.” Luke leaned back in his chair and looked at her. Today, Jack texted Luke and complained to him that he was running out of ideas to stop Queenie from looking for Leia. Leia was unreachable by phone, so Queenie wanted to get discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.What Luca and Jack said to her today was useless."But the kids…" Luca did not want to see Queenie upset.“Aunt Neile is only getting off work later. The maid can stay a little longer. We’ll head to the hospital after dinner. Tommy and
