After what he said, Luca got out of the car feeling relieved.
Luke took the bag out of the trunk and said, “Let’s go in.”
The children were all smiles as they walked in front while Luca, and Luke walked behind.
“Are you nervous?” Luke noticed her stiff expression.
“I’m worried that Old Master Crawford will be mad at us for being so late.” Luca nodded. Having lived at Crawford Manor for so long, she knew that Old Master Crawford hated tardy people.
“He’s looking forward to your return.” Luke held her hand. He led her through the front yard and into the living room.
The children were gathered around the old man, talking to him with smiles on their faces.
Luca walked in and saw that Old Master Crawford was not upset, so she breathed a sigh of relief before greeting him, “Good evening, Old Master Crawford.”
“Haha, good evening, Luca.” Old Master Crawford did not ask Luca to change the way she addressed him, nor did he change the way he addressed her.
Luke had reminded him that Luca’s identity could not be exposed. There were several maids in the manor, so he followed Luke’s wishes and called her Luca.
“Sorry for being late. Something came up,” Luca apologized first.
“Don’t worry about it. Dinner is ready, so should we eat?” Old Master Crawford was more worried about his precious great-grandchildren going hungry.
Luca glanced at Luke.
Luke walked over and helped Old Master Crawford up before saying, “Let’s eat, Grandpa.”
Old Master Crawford stood up and shook his head when he saw Luke holding his hand. “I don’t need help. I can walk on my own.”
“Grandpa…” Luke was speechless when he saw him pushing his hand away.
“I’m serious. Let’s go to the dining hall,” said Old Master Crawford energetically while holding his cane.
Mr. Griffin smiled and said, “Ever since Ms. Craw helped Old Master Crawford recover, he has gotten much better. He has the strength to walk now. He only needs a cane, and he doesn’t need much help from others.”
Luke looked at Old Master Crawford walking and then at Luca.
She had gone through so much the past few years…
She had suffered so much because of him, yet she still took care of his family without a single complaint after she returned.
Luke went to her and said, “It’s all thanks to you.”
Smiling, Luca shook her head.
She learned everything she knew about pharmacology from Shanks. She had learned everything she could possibly learn, so she was confident in her skills.
If she had attained this knowledge a few years ago, she would have started to heal Old Master Crawford back then. Maybe he would not even need a cane now.
However, she could not turn back time, so she could only do her best to help him right now.
“Let’s go eat,” said Luca before following Old Master Crawford into the dining hall.
The cook knew that Luke was coming, so she had already placed the dishes on the table.
The cook put away the notes Luca wrote. “Ms. Craw, these herbs don’t look like much, but there’s so much to know about them.”
“These are good for people with cardiovascular diseases, and adding these in food will help a lot,” said Luca. Instead of taking modern medicine directly, Luca thought that a medicated diet would help in the long run.
Having medicine by itself was extremely bitter. On the contrary, having herbs with food would not taste as bad, so most would choose to have it with food.
Old Master Crawford said cheerfully, “Having it in my food is much better than taking modern medicine."
When Luca was explaining to the cook, Old Master Crawford had the butler bring a chessboard and asked Luke to play with him.
In the past hour, they had played three games of chess.
The children were not interested in what Luca was talking about, nor were they interested in watching Old Master Crawford play chess with Luke. Thus, they just started reading their books.
The huge living room had a lively atmosphere.
“It’s good that you're able to accept it. Let me know when you’ve finished these, and I’ll prepare more for you after assessing your health.”
Luca guessed that Old Master Crawford would get much better after finishing these, so she would have to assess him and adjust the dosages after this batch.
“Alright.” Old Master Crawford nodded happily.
After the butler kept the notes, he asked Luca while putting away the herbs, “Ms. Craw, how should I store these?”
Luca gave it some thought before replying, “I’ve already sealed the herbs in glass jars, but to be safe, it’s best to store them in a cool, dry, and dark place.
"When using, try not to use your hands. But if you must, remember to wash your hands and wipe them dry. That way, the herbs will last longer and be more effective.”
