Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1572

Luke drove back to Crawford Manor right after sending Luca home.

He parked the car and walked into the house. He saw Mr. Griffin in the living room and said, “Follow me."

"Yes, Young Master Luke." Mr. Griffin nodded and followed Luke into the kitchen.

"Where do they usually keep the dried foods and supplements?" Luke asked.

Mr. Griffin opened one of the cabinets and said, "All the dried foods and supplements are kept in here."

Luke squatted down and took out the dried foods that were packed in bags.

Mr. Griffin was puzzled when he saw him doing that, so he asked, "Young Master Luke, may I know what you're doing?"

"Open them all," Luke said nothing else and ordered Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Griffin nodded and opened all the bags one by one. Mrs. Nancy saw them when she walked in and asked immediately, "Young Master Luke, Mr. Griffin, what's the matter?"

Luke took out the last bag and stood up. He looked at Mrs. Nancy. "The dried foods and supplements are all kept in here?"

"No, I keep sof them in the cabbeside that one too. But they're mostly supplements and tonics. Young Master Blanche, Young Master Tommy, and Young Miss Rainie usually like to eat snacks, so I always prepare siced tea for them to cool down their bodies," said Mrs. Nancy as she opened another cabinet.

Luke squatted down again and took everything out.

"Young Master Luke, what are you looking for?" Mrs. Nancy asked hurriedly when she saw him acting strangely.

Luke did not say anything. He opened every bag that he took out. At last, he saw a bag of blood tonic and looked at Mrs. Nancy. "What's this?"

"It's blood tonic." Mrs. Nancy looked at it to make sure.

"Do you normally add this in the stew?" Luke asked. He glanced at the blood tonic and looked at the photo that Luca sent him.

"Yes. This helps to boost blood levels. It's good for adults and children. Young Master Luke, is there anything wrong with the tonic? Madam Crawford bought these back and askedto add sin every tI made stews. She said it's to nourish the body." Mrs. Nancy looked at Luke's gloomy face and thought she was probably in trouble, so she told him everything.

Indeed, blood tonic had such effects. She made sure the blood tonic had such effects before she added in.

Hence, Mrs. Nancy could not understand why Luke was behaving this way.

"Don't add this in the food anymore." Luke took sblood tonic pills and held them in his palm. Then, he walked out of the kitchen.

"Young Master Luke, why? Did I do something wrong?" Mrs. Nancy did not know pharmacology. However, she had done sresearch online when Susan gave the blood tonic to her. The effects of the tonic were exactly like what Susan had told her.

Susan would also drink the stews. That was why she added the tonic in without worrying much about it.

"It's not suitable for the elderly to have this every day. Leave the tonic here. Don't throw it away, and don't tell Madam Crawford," Luke ordered.

Mrs. Nancy nodded hurriedly. It was not suitable for the elderly?

Old Master Crawford had been taking it for stime...

Mrs. Nancy was so shocked that she broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the old master's health was in good condition.

It dawned on Mr. Griffin as he listened to Luke. He remembered that Old Master Crawford had been complaining about not being able to sleep well at night. He did not feel sleepy when it was tto go to bed. He even planned to ask for ssleeping pills from Dr. Cairn.

Luke went to the tea room to look for Old Master Crawford after he left the kitchen.

The old man was brewing tea.

He walked into the room and smelled the strong fragrance of floral tea. He felt relaxed at once.

Old Master Crawford took a sip of tea. When he saw Luke coming in, he asked, "Did you send Ms. Luca home?"

"Yes." Luke sat opposite him. "The tea you're drinking today is different from usual."

Old Master Crawford nodded and took another sip. "I'm not used to drinking this tea. But Mr. Cairn said drinking more of this tea will helpsleep. He wants to see if it's effective, then he'll decide whether to givesleeping pills or not."

"You haven't been sleeping well these days?" Luke had heard him mention it before. Indeed, he had been busy. He could not even handle the kids, not to mention the old master.

"Yes. I haven't been able to fall asleep recently, and I don't know why. But Mr. Cairn said it's normal for old people to have poor sleep quality," said Old Master Crawford.

Luke handed him the blood tonic pills he was holding in his hand. "It's because of these."

"What are these?" Old Master Crawford had no idea about it.

"Blood tonic. They're for blood nourishment. Mrs. Nancy said that it was Mother who asked her to add sin every tshe made stews, so Mrs. Nancy followed her instructions. The tonic is good for young people. But it's too much for the elderly to handle if the tonic is taken frequently, and it can cause health problems." Luke assumed that the blood tonic was what caused the old master to lose sleep.

Old Master Crawford took one of the pills and frowned.

"She asked Mrs. Nancy to add this?"

“Yes. Mrs. Nancy doesn't know much about pharmacology. She thought it was good for your health," replied Luke. Mrs. Nancy had been serving the Crawford family for more than ten years. They had been kind to her. Hence, she would not have waited until now to cup with such a wicked idea to go against the old master.

He believed in Mrs. Nancy.

"Hah, it looks like someone in the house can't standanymore." Old Master Crawford narrowed his eyes. There was a hint of astute in his cloudy eyes.

The tonic was not considered a poisonous drug. However, based on what Luke said, his health would not improve but deteriorate if he took it frequently.

When the tcame, his body would be too weak and she could take control of the family.

Old Master Crawford knew what Susan had in mind. She did not like him because she was under his control.

However, he did not expect her to make such a move. She was not brave enough to feed him poison, so she fed him this blood tonic instead.

“Grandpa, I'll leave this to you to deal with." Luke did not plan to deal with this matter. The old man was not muddle-headed, and he had a mind of his own. Moreover, Susan was the madam of the household. He should at least show srespect to her.

"Sure. Just pretend you don't know any of this. And about Mrs. Nancy..."

"I've told her about it. Don't worry." Luke took a sip of the flower tea. It was indeed refreshing. He was feeling a little sleepy now. "Blood tonic was added to the stew today. You should be able to slowly improve your sleep after tomorrow."

The old master loved having stews, so it would be served for dinner every day.

Old Master Crawford should be able to get back to his sleeping routine after stopping the tonic intake.

"It was Ms. Craw who told you, right?" Old Master Crawford asked.

"She noticed it when she had the stew." Luke helped the old master refill his cup of tea. It was fortunate that they had found out about it earlier and that Old Master Crawford's health was not yet affected by the tonic.

"It looks like it was the right choice to invite her here. She's amazing. Also, she treats the children sincerely. She's beautiful and gentle too. Luke, you might want to consider her. I like her more compared to Tia." Luca had left quite a good impression on Old Master Crawford.
