Chapter 1229 Spark Of Excitement And Passion

Luke's words reminded Luca of something. She looked at Queenie and said, "Aunt Queenie, can I check your pulse?"

When Queenie heard it, she immediately rolled up her sleeve and placed her hand on the coffee table.

Luca then put her finger on Queenie’s wrist where her veins were and checked on her.

Luke looked at her actions, which were similar to how Johann would do it. She seemed professional.

Two minutes later, Luca motioned to Queenie to switch to her other hand and continued to check her pulse.

After a while, she withdrew her hand.

Queenie asked, "Luca, how's my body doing?"

Luca chuckled softly and said, "Aunt Queenie, you have nothing to worry about. Continue to take the concoction and your body will get better day by day. You can stop taking it in another half a month."

The effects of the herbal concoction were much better than expected, so she reduced the length of Queenie's treatment cycle.

"Really?" Queenie asked in a surprised tone. She thought that she would have to go through a few more treatment cycles and did not expect that it would be reduced by almost half a month instead.

"Yes, really. After I go back, I'll adjust the concoction and send it to you," Luca said.

Queenie looked at her tenderly and replied, "I don't want to trouble you too much. Why don’t you give me the prescription and I'll get someone to prepare it?"

Luca shook her head. It did not feel bothersto do these things for Queenie, and she was concerned about the quality of herbs too. If she bought those that were of poor quality, it would affect Queenie's recovery. She insisted and said, "I'll get it done. I'm more familiar with herbs and can ensure the quality."

Queenie thought that what Luca said was true. She knew nothing about herbs, so she held Luca's hand tightly and said, Thank you for going through all the trouble." "Nothing to worry about." Luca smiled.

Queenie held her hand and did not want to let go. She was not sure why but she liked interacting with Luca.

Luke raised an eyebrow seeing the interaction between Queenie and Luca. He thought that the two were as close as mother and daughter.

Jack poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Luke, why isn’t Bea with you today?"

His words reminded Queenie of the promise that Bianca made. ’Yeah, why didn't Bea cto visit? The last tthat she was over, she promised to cto visitmore often. Since Luca is here, I wanted them to get to know each other."

Luke's expression was cold when Bianca, who had been cast aside, was mentioned. "Bea is sick and is now in the hospital." "Hospital?" Queenie’s voice increased a little, and there was tension in her tone. "Why is she hospitalized?" "She was sent to the hospital because she caught a cold and got a high fever. Her condition has stabilized,” Luke said. Bianca’s body temperature had dropped in the morning, but in the afternoon, it suddenly rose again. Her condition only stabilized after she received an IV drip. The doctor advised her to be hospitalized for observation, so he did not help her with the discharge procedures.

When Queenie heard that her condition had stabilized, she relaxed a little and said, "She must've caught a bad cold."

Jack said, "She's already a mother of three, why does she still act like a kid..."

Luca felt like crying when she heard what Jack and Queenie said. Although they were saying these words to the fake Bianca, they said it as her parents.

She had not heard such words for a long time, so when she heard them, a lump formed in Luca's throat. Her heart ached.

"Master, Madam, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?" the maid asked.

When Queenie found out that Bianca’s condition was stable, she did not ask about it any further. She looked at the maid and nodded. "Let’s have dinner." "Madam, duly noted.” The maid nodded, turned around, and returned to the kitchen.

Queenie looked at Luca. For sreason, she felt that the smile on the other's face carried a hint of sadness that was not present before. She could not help but wonder if she was overthinking.

"Luca, shall we go have dinner?" she asked.

Luca nodded and stood up with her. Then, Luke and Jack also stood up. The four walked into the dining room together.

At the dinner table, Jack sat face to face with Queenie while Luca sat next to Queenie. The person sitting across from her was Luke.

The maid served the dishes one by one. Queenie poured a glass of orange juice for Luca and said, "I should have made this meal but my body can't take it for the tbeing. Luca, the next tyou visit after I recover, I'll cook a meal for you." "Aunt Queenie, thank you for your hospitality. It’s been a long

tsince I've eaten such a hearty local meal. I'm very happy that you invitedover today." Luca felt Luke sneaking a peek at her from tto tand felt uncomfortable. She held her glass of orange juice and said, "I should be the one thanking you."

Jack and Queenie were overjoyed with her presence.

Luke frowned inadvertently when he heard her overly polite words. 'She can cook local dishes, so why is she saying that she hasn't had them for a longtime?'

Her words were clearly said to please Jack and Queenie. On top of that, she would video call Tommy every night. All of her actions seemed to be intentional and well thought out.

Luke could not help but deepen his suspicions toward her.

After the meal, Luca did not stay around for too long. She knew that if she continued to have a good relationship with Queenie, Luke would be more suspicious of her.

She gave an excuse and left. Zander was her driver once again.

Luca asked Zander to send her to the intersection of her apartment and got out of the car there. She told him that she wanted to buy something and he did not need to wait for her as she would head home on her own later.

Zander glanced at the nearby supermarket and drove away without any doubt.

Luca did not return to the apartment but went directly to Abel.

She had looked for him the day before and found that Abel had not left the country. It was likely that he was in the Westin Hotel.

Luca turned around and stopped a taxi to rush to the Westin Hotel. She was standing in the lobby of the hotel and could not get up because she did not have an access card. All she could do was wait for other guests to try to get upstairs.

In the presidential suite.

Abel stood alone on the balcony, looking at the city skyline.

A mercenary cover and said softly, "Boss, Ivana is downstairs."

Abel raised his eyebrows. 'She finally showed up.' He sat down, picked up the red wine, poured himself a glass, and said, "Go and pick her up." "Yes." The mercenary went out after receiving Abel's order.

Abel picked up the wine glass. He had been waiting for Luca to look for him since the day before. He did not expect her to be so patient and only show up now.

'That's not true. If she was patient, she wouldn't be here so late at night.'

Abel shook his glass and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He really wanted to know what had happened between Luca and Luke on Sunday night. He thought that there might be sspark of excitement and passion.
