Chapter 2133 I Believe In Her

After the argument between Old Master Crawford and Susan, Luca dared not pick up the medicinal

herbs to take a closer look at them as she did not want Susan to find faults with her actions and

further provoke the old master.

She reckoned that the herbs really belonged to Yuri, so there should not be a problem,

The last time, there was a problem with the old master's stew because Susan had tampered with it.

Yuri was her daughter-in-law and she still hoped that Yuri and Louis would have a second child, so

how could she have tampered with the herbs?

It was a strong tonic at most. Even if it was not suitable for Yuri's body, it would not be too bad

Luca picked up the cup of tea, which had cooled a bit during the two's argument. She took a big sip

to please the old master.

He did personally prepare it, after all.

Susan snorted when she saw Luca drink the tea. She poured a cup for herself as well.

“What are you doing?” Old Master Crawford looked at her indifferently.

“If she can have the medicine, why can't I?” Susan said deliberately. When Yuri visited the doctor to

recuperate, she had the doctor take her pulse as well.

The doctor said that her body was a little weak from staying up late to play cards and her improper

diet, but it was no big deal. She would be able to recuperate by having the same tonic as Yuri.

However, she complained that the herbal medicine was too bitter, so she did not have the doctor

prescribe them for her.

After seeing Luca drink Yuri's medicine like a spoiled brat, Susan could not hold back her anger. She

poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip, disregarding the temperature of the freshly poured tea.

At that moment, she frowned.

It was not because it tasted bad but because it burned her mouth.

To save face, Susan did not spit out the tea but forcefully swallowed it.

Old Master Crawford did not stop her as she was the one who had asked to suffer tonight. There

was no way he could stop someone asking for trouble.

Luca felt that the atmosphere was strange, so she put down her cup and was about to get down to

business when Old Master Crawford advised her, “Luca, you drank too little. Have some more.”

“He's right, Ms. Luca. Great-grandpa specially prepared it for you. Drink more,” Tommy said with a

smile, not at all affected by the storm just now.

He was raised in an environment like this anyway. He had long been used to it.

What happened just now was just a small scene.

With both the young one and the old one persuading her, she had no choice but to finish the flower

tea in the cup.

Old Master Crawford nodded his head in satisfaction. Now, the efficacy of the medicine would be

sufficient.

Mr. Griffin brought over some candied fruit. “Ms. Craw, have some candied fruit so that the

sweetness can cancel out the bitterness.”

The flower tea originally only had the fragrance of flowers, but with the addition of herbs, those who

were particularly sensitive to the taste of herbal medicine might not be able to stand it. Thus, he

brought out the candied fruit as per the old master's orders.

“No, thank you,” said Luca. The taste of the herbal medicine was nothing to her.

She had tried a lot of herbal medicine on the Island of Despair.

Her taste buds had become accustomed to the taste of medicinal herbs, so no matter how bad the

medicine tasted, she could eat it directly without breaking a sweat.

The butler glanced at Old Master Crawford.

Old Master Crawford nodded, and the butler understood what he meant. As he was about to walk

away with the candied fruit, Susan said, “Wait, give me the fruit tray.”

Mr. Griffin had no choice but to place the tray of candied fruit on Susan's side of the coffee table.

Susan hurriedly ate a sweet candied fruit.

Old Master Crawford looked at her and wrinkled his eyebrows in disapproval. He did not bother

saying anything to her and looked at Luca to say, “Luca, is it not bitter?”

“My job is making medicine, and I've tried the most bitter medicines out there, so this is nothing,”

said Luca. She thought of her objective and said, “Old Master Crawford, I heard that you've been

having trouble sleeping lately. Why don't I take your pulse for you?”

Just as she finished talking, Susan immediately pricked up her ears. The old master was having

trouble sleeping? Why had she not heard about it?

She lived in this villa. She should know all the ins and outs of what happened in the villa, including

whatever was wrong with the old master. However, she had not heard of this.

Susan looked at both of them.

“Sure. Come and take my pulse.” Old Master Crawford gladly agreed. He was not feeling unwell. It

was just the kid's wicked idea.

He saw how much Lanie and the others liked Luca, so he asked about their thoughts. They were very

keen on Luke and Luca being together without a hint of reluctance or unwillingness.

Therefore, he asked them for an excuse to have her come over voluntarily.

Then, Lanie came up with this idea. Old Master Crawford thought it was a good idea too when he

first heard it, so he let Lanie and the others come up with a plan.

He did not think that Luca would actually come.

“Huh, aren't you a drug researcher? How can you take someone else's pulse?” Susan purposely

embarrassed Luca after hearing the old master agree. “Father, if you're not feeling well, Ill have the

doctor who takes care of Yuri come here tomorrow. He can take your pulse, help you recuperate,

and prescribe medicine for you. It's better than having someone who doesn't even have a medical

license prescribe medicine for you.”

Old Master Crawford glared at Susan. It was always noisy wherever she went, which made him

upset.

Tommy, who sat on the side, could not help but say, “Grandma, Ms. Luca is brilliant!”

"Don't interrupt when adults are talking. You should learn from Thea.” Susan glared at Tommy.

Luca's heart ached when she saw her son getting bullied. She knew that the three kids would have

to face Susan's jeers while living in Crawford Manor as Susan directed all her hatred for Allison and

Luke toward the kids.

However, she did not expect that Susan would talk to Tommy like that in front of the old master.

“The child was just saying the truth. In fact, I'm currently doing research on herbal medicine,” Luca

spoke coldly. She could tolerate everything else, but when it came to the children, she was not

willing to compromise.

Susan raised her eyebrows. “Is that so? You know some things about pharmacology and can even

help people recover their health, huh? If you're really that great, why aren't you treating patients?”

"Medicine is also a means of healing. I think that developing good medicine is a boon to patients,

so I chose the pharmaceutical industry. This does not change the fact that I know how to heal

patients,” said Luca as she hugged Tommy's shoulders.

Old Master Crawford looked at Luca defend Tommy with satisfaction in his eyes.

Other than being intelligent and not being a burden, Luke's woman also had to be sincerely nice to

the children.

From the time Luca entered Crawford Manor until just earlier, Luca had behaved modestly and

politely.

However, when Susan blamed the child for no reason, she spoke up for the first time. She was the

right kind of woman to be beside Luke.

"Since you're so good at talking, come take my pulse and see what's wrong with me,” said Susan as

she rolled up her sleeve while looking like she was about to pick a fight.

“That's enough! I was the one who invited Luca over. I believe in her medical skills. What's the

matter? Do you think you know better than her?”
