The maid walked to the backyard and saw Luca pressing on her chest as though she was feeling uncomfortable. She asked, "Ms. Craw, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine," Luca replied. She looked at the maid and smiled, then noticed that she was carrying a basket. There were some fresh tomatoes as well as other fruits and vegetables that were currently in season. She asked, "Are these planted in the backyard?"

"Yes. Ms. Rayne is usually free, so she'd plant some flowers in the front yard and fruits and vegetables in the backyard. Look at how fresh the vegetables are. These were all planted by her. No pesticides were added. They're safe and healthy to eat," replied the maid while showing the fruits and vegetables in the basket to Luca.

Luca asked, "Can I take a look at the backyard?"

"You're the guest. Make yourself at home. But there's a pond in the backyard, so do be careful. Don't fall in," the maid reminded her.

Luca nodded and headed to the backyard.

There were all sorts of fruits and vegetables planted in the backyard. The villa looked small on the outside, but she realized it was not that small after she walked around the place.

Besides, Wanda had made good use of the corners of the yard. Luca looked at the sweet corn and tomatoes that were growing. She took a deep breath.

It was the smell of nature.

She recalled that when she was staying in the village years ago, Wanda was not married yet and would return home to help out at the farm after she got off work. She would plant all sorts of plants in the yard. Everything was nicely done, and the place looked like a little farm.

However, this did not last long. After that, Wanda got married and her father married another woman. No one was there to take care of the small yard, so the fruits and vegetables planted were shoveled out and the place was abandoned.

Luca continued to tour around. Just then, she heard the doorbell ring in the villa.

She wondered who would be here at this hour.

Luca headed to the front yard and ran into the maid who was in a hurry to open the door.

The maid accidentally stepped on Luca's foot, and she stopped immediately to apologize. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Ms. Craw. I didn't mean to."
