Chapter 1250
Chapter 1250 Did He Wrongly Accuse His Father?
Queenie understood that one should not judge another by their appearance alone.
Even though she had a good impression of Luca in the few times they interacted, she could understand why Bianca felt uneasy.
"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Luke," Queenie comforted her. She knew that Luke was not flirtatious, but many women had tried to get on his good side over the past three years.
Bianca took Queenie's hand and pretended to look grateful." You're so nice to me, Mom."
"I'm your mother, silly girl. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side. Don't worry. Luca is only close tobecause she treated my illness. I'll make sure that they don't have any private affairs." Queenie patted Bianca's head.
Meanwhile, after Luke left the hospital, he sped back to T Corporation.
Tommy was sitting in the backseat. He thought for a while and said, "Daddy, shouldn't you let Ms. Luca know that her concoction works?"
"Mm." Luke nodded.
"Lettell her then!" Tommy said while grinning. "Giveyour phone, Daddy."
Luke ignored his son. He wore his Bluetooth headset and gave Luca a call.
At that moment, Luca was verifying the experiment data in the laboratory. If there were no problems, she could proceed to the next stage of research.
Her phone began to ring, and she answered it while keeping her eyes focused on the data table. "Hello."
"Are you busy?" Luke asked. It was the first tthat Luca had picked up her call so quickly.
Luca's motions paused for a split second. She was busy with her work and had forgotten to look at the call notification before answering the call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mm," she replied in a soft voice.
Luke could sense Luca's change in tone from friendly to distant in that singular syllable, and that had frustrated him greatly. "Your concoction works. Bianca's fever subsided."
'That's good to know," Luca said coldly.
The man suddenly fell silent, and Luca could hear Tommy blabbering next to him. "Givethe phone, Daddy. I want to talk to Ms. Luca..."
Luca took a deep breath. Even though she was only interacting with Luke through a phone call, she could feel his presence exuding immense pressure. However, she was not the Bianca from before, and she would not yield so easily.
She broke the silence. "She'll have to keep on drinking the concoction."
"For how long?" Luke's voice had also turned cold.
"Until her fever goes down completely. It should take a month," Luca said.
"Okay." Luke committed those words to memory. He was not too concerned about Bianca's condition, but rather, he did not want anything bad to happen to her.
Knowing that Luke had gotten the point, Luca suddenly felt her heart wrench. "Is there anything else, Mr. Crawford?"
"That's all," Luke said.
When Tommy heard that, he immediately yelled, "There's something else, Ms. Luca! Can I cto your house for dinner tonight? Don't worry, I'll get Daddy to buy all the ingredients you need and more!"
"...""..." Luca and Luke were both speechless.
Tommy leaned against the front seat and asked, "Daddy, what did Ms. Luca say?"
Luca had heard Tommy's request over the phone. If only Tommy calone, she would gladly welchim.
However, she knew that Luke would definitely tag along. "I have to work overttoday, so I won't be able to take care of Tommy. Bye."
"Mm," Luke replied, but Luca had already ended the call.
Tommy pouted. "Daddy, what did Ms. Luca say?"
"She has to work overttoday, so she can't cook dinner for you." Luke took off the headset and drove into T Corporation's basement parking lot.
Tommy was disappointed when he heard that. "Daddy, isn't Ms. Luca your employee? Can't you tell her not to work overtime?"
Luke did not reply.
Tommy was not very happy. He wanted to say something, but Luke managed to silence him with a single sentence.
"I'll take away your tablet if you don't behave."
Without his tablet, Tommy could not have video calls with Luca. He immediately sat down quietly.
Luke was satisfied by Tommy's compliance. He parked his car in his personal parking spot and got out of the car.
He opened the back door, and Tommy hopped out with puffed cheeks.
Luke and Tommy went up to the CEO's office in Luke's personal elevator. Jason greeted them. "Good afternoon, Mr. Crawford. Oh, Little Mr. Crawford is here too."
In the company, Jason would sometimes call Tommy "Little Mr. Crawford" as a joke.
"We'll have a meeting in ten minutes," Luke said.
"Yes." Jason nodded. He began to tap his tablet to make preparations for the meeting.
Tommy pulled his hand away from Luke. "I'm not going with Daddy!" He said.
Jason could see that Tommy was angry. He joked, "Little Mr. Crawford, where are you going if you're not following Mr. Crawford?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTommy pointed at him. "I'll go with you, Uncle Doyle."
Luke was quite happy that someone would take care of his son for him. "I'll leave him in your care."
"Yes," Jason could only reply. He did not expect to pick up another job just because he had cracked a joke.
Luke went into the CEO's office, while Tommy went into the assistant's office with Jason and sat down on the couch.
Jason brought out a glass of milk and scocktail sausages from the pantry and gave them to Tommy. "Why do you look so angry today, Little Mr. Crawford?"
"Daddy is forcing Ms. Luca to work overtime, so I cant go to her house to have dinner," Tommy said huffily as he stuffed a sausage in his mouth.
"Ms. Luca?" Jason did not understand at first.
"Ms. Luca, the researcher at Watson. You know her, right?" Tommy said.
Jason nodded and said, "I know her. What about it?"
"It's nothing. Ms. Luca makes very delicious food, and she's even better than the cook at home, but Daddy wants her to work overtime... Uncle Jason, can you stop Ms. Luca from
working overtime?" Tommy asked after drinking a gulp of milk.
Jason finally found out the reason why Tommy seemed so aggrieved. It was because he could not eat Luca's dinner.
However, Jason did not understand how Tommy had gotten so close to Luca.
"Well, I don't think I can help you with that," Jason shook his head and said. "Your Daddy didn't force her to work overtime. Everyone in Watson has been working extra hard, and I believe that she's working very hard too.”
"Are you tellingthat Ms. Luca is working overtwillingly?" Tommy pulled a long face.
"Yes, that should be it." Jason nodded.
"Mmm, I miss Ms. Luca." Tommy seemed frustrated. If Luca had volunteered to work overtime, had he wrongly accused his father?
