Allison glared at Luke but dared not to talk back.
She followed him into the bedroom and took one look around. She was instantly dissatisfied when she saw the size of the room. “Why is this room so small?”
“This is the only bedroom left,” replied Luke.
“So, this is the guest room?” Allison shrieked. “I’m your mother, and you’re actually making me sleep in the guest room?”
“All the furniture here was bought brand new, specifically from the brand you like. No one else has slept here. If you’re not satisfied, you’re welcome to stay at a hotel.” Luke was not usually a talkative person, but when it came to Allison, he found himself having to say more.
Even a couple of words felt insufficient to quell her sharp tongue.
Allison inspected the newly arranged furniture. It seemed it had been set up just for her. She even noticed the plastic wrapping on some of the pieces.
Allison did like this brand. She thought it was Luke’s arrangement. Figuring Luke must have spent quite a bit on the furniture, she did not complain further. She sat on the couch and, in a commanding tone, told him, “Bring up my other two suitcases. I need to start my skincare.”
Luke’s eyebrow twitched slightly.
Skincare?
Did her skin even need that at this point?
He could not be bothered to argue. As long as she was staying put without causing trouble, it was fine by him.
Heading downstairs, he spotted Luca rummaging through the drawers by the TV stand.
“What are you looking for?” Luke walked over, crouching down, planning to help her.
“Medicinal cream,” replied Luca. “Aunt Neile strained her back, so I thought I’d help by applying some.”
“Okay. Let me take a look,” said Luke. “I remember seeing it in this drawer just a few days ago.”
As Luke opened the drawer, he found the tub and held it up. “Is this the one?”
“Yes, that’s it. I even specially ordered it from the pharmacy,” confirmed Luca. This brand was widely used on the Island of Despair for treating injuries and was highly effective.
“You go ahead and help Aunt Neile with her back. I’ll bring up the suitcases,” said Luke, helping her stand as he held her hand.
Luca asked with concern, “Does she know she’s staying in the guest room?”
“She knows,” replied Luke. “She didn’t like the arrangement at first, but when she saw the new furniture from her favorite brand, she dropped it.”
Relieved that Allison was not making a fuss, Luca nodded.
“So, you’re bringing up both suitcases? They’re pretty heavy. Be careful and take care of yourself,” Luca reminded him.
Even though Luke was strong, she could not help but worry. She felt a pang of concern seeing him carry such heavy items.
“Alright, go take care of Aunt Neile,” replied Luke, lugging one suitcase to the staircase before hefting it onto his shoulder to carry it up.
Watching him, Luca thought to herself it was probably time to get that elevator installed. She had thought about it before but had not taken any action.
Making a mental note of this, Luca carried the medicinal cream into the maid's room.
“Ms. Craw.” Aunt Neile clutched her back as she saw Luca enter and stood up to greet her.
“Aunt Neile, lie down,” said Luca. “Let me do a quick check first. If it’s not too serious, I’ll just massage the area with some medicinal cream. But if you’ve pulled something, we may need a dry needling treatment.”
“Alright, Dr. Craw. Thank you.” Aunt Neile had no objections to the treatment methods.
It was because she trusted Luca.
