“Yay! You're the best, Ms. Luca!” Tommy’s face lit up with joy when he heard there was ice cream. His eyes narrowed into little crescents as he grinned. “It was so hot in the exam room! I just wanted to finish quickly and come home!”
Luca smiled and gently patted his head. “You worked hard today, Tommy. Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll make it for you.”
Tommy's eyes widened in surprise. This was an unexpected treat for him! He quickly listed off a few of his favorite foods and then looked up at Luca, asking, “Ms. Luca, do you think I’m being too greedy?”
“Not at all!” Luca shook her head. “You just finished your competition. You deserve a treat!”
“Aww, Ms. Luca, you're so kind to me.” Tommy smiled and hugged her arm. “From now on, I promise I’ll be good. You won’t have to worry about my schoolwork!”
“That’s great. You just need to be good, grow up healthy, and stay happy.” Luca gave him a gentle smile. It was the best blessing a mother could give her child.
There was nothing more important than a child growing up healthy and happy.
Tommy nodded firmly.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Warren parked the car in a temporary spot on the side of the road.
Luca and Tommy went inside, picking up snacks and household supplies that filled up a big bag.
After they got back home, Luca carried the bag in one hand and held Tommy’s hand with the other as they walked into the living room.
Lanie, Rainie, and Vivian were all in the living room.
The TV was off, and the expressions on their faces seemed a bit off.
“Lanie, Rainie, Ms. Vivian, I’m back!” Tommy did not notice anything strange and ran over to them excitedly. “Guess what? Ms. Luca is going to make us ice cream later! Aren’t you excited?”
He was still cheering when he finally noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was weird.
Only Vivian gave him a faint smile and replied, “That’s great. Is there any for me?”
“Of course!” Tommy nodded eagerly. “Ms. Luca makes the best ice cream!”
After saying that, he finally realized that Lanie and Rainie did not seem too happy. He asked, “Lanie, Rainie, did something happen?”
Lanie and Rainie exchanged glances, then turned to look at Luca.
“Why the long faces? What happened?” asked Luca, puzzled.
“Grandma called an hour ago,” Rainie pondered for a moment before answering.
“Grandma?” Luca frowned, picking up on the fact that they said 'Grandma', not 'Great-grandma'.
They were not talking about Susan but Allison.
More than half a year had passed since they last saw her. Luca had heard from Luke that Allison had gone to Seoul for restorative surgery, but she was not sure about the specifics.
However, she was sure of one thing. Based on what she had seen of Allison’s skin, no current medical treatment could fully restore it.
Multiple surgeries might improve the situation a bit, but she would never be able to return to her former state.
These surgeries would only cause more pain, both physically and mentally. Allison, however, would not listen to anyone. That was why Luca had only discussed this with Luke.
She knew that no matter what she said to Allison, it would fall on deaf ears.
“Grandma?” Tommy also sensed something was wrong. Remembering his grandmother’s face, which looked like a wicked witch from a fairy tale, he shuddered and asked, “Lanie, Rainie, why did Grandma suddenly call?”
He knew she had gone to Seoul for cosmetic surgery and had not called since leaving the country. It seemed she did not care about her grandchildren at all.
Lanie said, “Grandma called Daddy. She said she’s coming home.”
Luca frowned. “Is she better?”
Both Lanie and Rainie shook their heads.
