Luke stood off to the side, quietly watching them work. He was all suited up in protective gear, medical cap and mask in place. The more he watched, the more he was drawn in. Medicine really was amazing.
Lydia caught the awe shining in his eyes and smiled, her tone light. “You interested in medicine now?”
Luke nodded, a little sheepish. “Yeah… but I honestly don’t know a thing about it.”
Lydia’s smile widened. “No one’s born knowing everything. If you want to learn, I can teach you.”
Luke paused, taking that in. He’d never cared much about medicine before, but suddenly it felt like a whole new world had opened up to him. The curiosity was almost electric. For the first time, he really wanted to dive in and see what was out there.
Neal, who had been listening nearby, glanced over. They all called Lydia their mentors, but as far as Neal knew, she’d never actually taken on a real apprentice. If Luke could become her student, there was no telling what he might accomplish.
Of course, Luke didn’t realize that Lydia was the famous Miracle Hands herself. He’d only heard Milana mention that Lydia was a student of Miracle Hands. If only he knew.
Luke looked at Lydia, hope and excitement making his voice shake. “Lydia, do you really mean it? Can I?”
Lydia nodded. “You can, but you have to get into a good school first.”
Luke’s eyes lit up. “I will. I’ll work really hard.”
Seeing him finally break out of his old slump, Lydia felt a wave of relief. She ruffled his hair.
Connor gave a half-smile. “The steak and foie gras are your sister’s favorites.” He pointed out a few other dishes. “There’s pumpkin soup, shepherd pie, and the rest are signature plates from The Royal Court.”
Luke’s grin was genuine. “That’s incredible.” He really was happy for Lydia. She deserved someone who cared for her like this.
Neal pulled out a chair for Lydia. “Have a seat.”
Lydia nodded and motioned for everyone to sit. “You too. We’re all family here, no need to stand on ceremony.”
Neal slid into the seat next to her, looking comfortable. Connor shot him a look. “Neal, your seat is on the other side.”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
