Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2135

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.
