"Okay." Luca nodded, realizing that it was not practical for Wanda to finish the soup in one go.
Therefore, they decided to alternate between two thermos bottles, which was more convenient.
After taking Wanda's pulse, the children gathered around her once again.
Wanda was still recovering. They changed their previous chattering manner and spoke in a more detailed way. Each child would wait for the previous topic to conclude before bringing up a new one.
However, regardless of the topic, the children were well-behaved and found ways to cheer up Wanda.
Lanie told them before that laughter was the best medicine.
He said the same thing when Tommy was being naughty.
All three children believed that a joyful mood would contribute to Wanda's recovery. Therefore, they constantly tried to make her happy.
The atmosphere in the hospital ward was harmonious and joyful.
Meanwhile, Luca sat beside and talked to Mrs. Lane to understand Wanda's current dietary condition.
After Luca had a general understanding, she rose to her feet and said to Wanda, "Ms. Rayne, can the kids stay with you for a while? I have a friend in the adjacent ward who's also recovering. I’d like to visit her."
She did not forget her promise to Marcos.
If she did not send him updates about Sarah's condition every day, he probably would not be able to wait for seven days before coming to visit.
"Sure. Go ahead." Wanda liked the three children. Since she had no sons or daughters of her own, she cherished Bianca's three children as if they were her precious treasures. She wished she could hold them all in the palm of her hand and protect them dearly.
Luca exchanged glances with the three children. Then, she smiled and picked up a fruit basket as she walked out.
"Who is Ms. Luca going to visit?" Tommy asked with curiosity. His gaze shifted between Lanie and Rainie.
Both children shook their heads.
They did not know who Luca was going to visit, nor had they heard of anyone else who was still in the hospital...
After leaving Wanda's ward, Luca headed to Sarah's ward.
She knocked on the door first instead of pushing the door open.
A caretaker came and opened the door. She saw Luca and asked with confusion, "May I know who you are?"
"I'm looking for Ms. Poplar. She’s in this ward, right?" asked Luca. She was the one who asked Johann to hire a caretaker for Sarah. Since she had yet to meet her, it was normal for the caretaker not to recognize her.
"Yes. Please come in." The caretaker observed that Luca did not seem like a bad person, and noticing that she was able to walk around the VIP wards, she decided to grant her entry.
Luca walked in and saw Sarah lying on the bed. She had turned her head to look in the direction of the door after she heard the knock.
Sarah's eyes welled up with tears when she saw Luca come in. "Ms. Craw, what brings you here?"
“Ms. Poplar, I just came to see you while passing by." Luca emphasized the fact that it was a casual visit, so as not to put too much pressure on Sarah.
To Sarah, Luca was merely a stranger she had met twice.
She was a stranger who helped her repay her debt, contacted a doctor to save her life, and arranged for a hospital ward and caretaker for her. It was rare to come across strangers like her, no?
Moreover, Sarah was not the type of person to take advantage of others. Luca knew that she was reluctantly accepting all of this, and she would not just go along with it without a sense of unease.
Luca could not help but secretly let out a deep sigh. There was no way she could say that all the arrangements she made were also at Marcos' behest…
Sarah would not be able to handle any shock now.
"Don't worry. I'm not a bad person. Please focus on recovering your health these few days. As for your doubts and suspicions, rest assured, I'm not the kind of person you think I am."
Sarah's face slightly reddened.
Her previous encounters with Luca and Luca's assistance in repaying her debt seemed like coincidences.
After spending so many years in that family, Sarah had witnessed too many things. That was why she still maintained her skepticism.
Even though Luca said so, there was no reason for Sarah to trust her.
Luca aimed her phone at Sarah for two minutes before saving the video and sending it to Luke.
Luke would forward the clip to Marcos.
Luca rose to her feet and said, "Ms. Poplar, I have something else to attend to. Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just call the doctors or nurses. They'll assist you."
"Okay." Sarah was a little surprised. Luca did not stay as long as she had expected. Instead, she left in less than ten minutes.
As Sarah watched the nurse escort Luca out, her expression took on a slight look of confusion.
Could she really trust Luca?
Sarah pursed her dry lips together, feeling unsure about it...
After the caretaker closed the door, she noticed that Sarah's lips were dry. She quickly poured a glass of warm water and inserted a straw. Then, she said, "Ms. Poplar, I noticed that your lips are a bit dry. Would you like some water?"
"Yes." Sarah nodded. She leaned in and took two big sips of warm water from the straw, then asked, "Is she the lady who hired you?"
The caretaker shook her head, placing the glass aside. She noticed that the liquid in the bottle was almost empty. Hence, she pressed the call button to summon another nurse. Only then did she explain, "No, it's not her. Dr. Park was the one who assigned me to take care of you. He's the doctor who did the rounds today and performed the surgery on you."
