“Why do you want to stay in a hotel? Isn’t it better to stay in the apartment? Mr. Crawford has specially made arrangements for
you. I can also take care of you while you’re recuperating,” the maid said after hearing that Luca wanted to move to a hotel.
Luke had told the maid to prepare Luca’s daily supplements with the ingredients in the kitchen cabinet.
Luca smiled and said, “I don’t think it’s very appropriate. I’m feeling a lot better now, and I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”
The maid smiled and said nothing.
If Luca stayed there, the maid would be slightly busier. If she did not, Luke would not blame the maid either. After all, Luke did
not have time to care for petty matters.
A while later, the police officer came back and said, “Pardon me. Your briefcase has been sent to the forensics department, and
the investigation is still ongoing, so I can’t return the documents to you yet. We’ll call you in two days so that you can pick up the
documents.”
Luca felt a little troubled upon hearing that.
If she could not retrieve her identification documents, it meant that she could not move to a hotel yet.
“Can’t you do me a favor? I really need the documents,” Luca said.
“I’m really sorry, Miss. I have to follow the rules,” the police officer said.
Luca was not going to throw a tantrum there, so she left with the maid.
After the police officer watched her leave, he went to the superintendent’s office, knocked on the door, and went inside. “Sir, I’ve
already detained her identification documents, just as you ordered.”
Actually, the forensics department had already completed the investigation on Luca’s briefcase the day before.
They had to prioritize valuable items first, though they did not find anything valuable in Luca’s briefcase. After the investigation,
they returned the briefcase to the police station so that its owner could come and retrieve it.
However, the superintendent had received orders from Luke to detain the briefcase.
“Mm, very well. Don’t tell anyone about this. You may leave. Also, close the door behind you.” The superintendent was satisfied
with what the police officer did.
“Yes.” The police officer nodded and left, closing the door behind him.
After the police officer left, the superintendent gave Luke a call and told him everything that had happened.
Luke knew that Luca would go to the police station to retrieve her identification documents, so he had called the superintendent
earlier.
He guessed that Luca wanted the identification documents to check into a hotel.
She was supposed to get closer to him, but it was curious that she was trying to distance herself from him.
Without her identification documents, Luca could not check into a hotel and had to stay in Luke’s apartment.
Back at the apartment, Luca thought of taking a bath.
She opened the closet and was stunned.
The maid had bought several sets of clothing for her and had placed them in the closet. When Luca opened the closet, she saw
that it was filled with Luke’s clothes.
Luke rarely stayed in the apartment, so the closet was quite small. There were quite a number of suits inside, and there was not
much space for anything else.
Luca could see that the maid had stacked up Luke’s clothes to make space for her clothes.
Luke’s and Luca’s clothes were placed together, as though they were living together.
Three years ago, it was the same situation in their closet at Crawford Manow. Half of the closet was filled with Luke’s clothes,
and the other half was her clothes.
That was the proof that they lived together.
“Ms. Craw, I’ve prepared your bathwater,” the maid said as she stepped out of the bathroom.
Luca came to her senses. She hurriedly took out a set of clothes from the closet and closed the door, as though she was afraid
that someone might notice her.
The maid noticed Luca’s odd behavior and wondered if there was something scary in the closet. Why did Luca seem so flustered
and distracted?
In the evening, Luca noticed that the maid laid three sets of cutlery on the dining table.
“Do we have a guest today? Why is there another set of cutlery?” She asked.
“Yes, Sir has requested it,” the maid said with a smile. “I’ll have to go home later tonight, and I’ll only be back tomorrow morning.
There’s enough food in the fridge. If you don’t want to cook, I can prepare tomorrow’s breakfast for you, so you only have to heat
it in the microwave.”
“It’s fine. I can do it myself.” Luca did not think that she was so pampered.
Now that she was feeling better, she did not want to trouble the maid if she could do it herself.
“Alright, Dr. Craw,” the maid replied and went into the kitchen.

Luca looked at the three sets of cutlery and knew what was going on.
Half an hour later, Luke came into the apartment while holding Tommy’s hand.
Tommy saw Luca sitting on the couch, so he scampered over and hugged her arm. “I miss you so much, Ms. Luca!”
Luca smiled when she saw the child’s face. “I miss you too. Why did you come here?”
“I asked Daddy to bring me here because I miss you,” Tommy said and turned around to look at his father. Then, he turned back
to face Luca and complained to her, “I wanted to go to the hospital to accompany you, but Daddy didn’t let me and asked Uncle
Sean to send me home. He didn’t let me visit you yesterday either!”
Luca smiled and stroked his head.
Tommy remained concerned about Luca’s condition. He asked her, “Ms. Luca, Daddy said that you’re already feeling better. Is
that true?”
“Yes. I’m feeling a lot better now,” Luca said while stroking his head. Luke was staring at her, which made her feel uneasy, but
the child managed to calm her down.
Every cell in her body was on alert, as though the man might discern something if she let her guard down.
Tommy nodded and continued saying, “I’m glad that you’re better now. Your apartment is so dangerous, Ms. Luca. Daddy said
it’s not safe there. Why don’t you stay here from now on? It’s near to your workplace and my school. Also, Daddy’s company
developed this neighborhood, so it’s perfectly safe. What do you think?”
“That’s... an accident. No one wants it to happen,” Luca said, though she could not help but wonder if Luke had taught him to
say that.
