Luca was doing experiments in the study the entire time. The kids did not come upstairs to disturb her either.

Only when the alarm rang did Luca stop doing her experiment. She disinfected her hands and walked out of the study.

Luca ran into the kids when they were making their way upstairs.

“Ms. Luca, have you finished your work?" Tommy smiled cheerfully and came forward to hug her.

Luca stroked Tommy's head and looked at Lanie and Rainie, "Come on. Go clean yourself up. It's time for bed."

"Okay, Ms. Luca," the three kids replied at the same time.

Luca returned to her bedroom. She got herself cleaned up at the same time as the kids did so. Then, she tucked the kids into bed.

Her phone rang when she was about to do some reading before heading to bed.

Could it be Luke?

Luca could not suppress the quiver in her heart. She picked up her phone and looked at it. It was Nina who called.

She quickly answered the call and said, "Nina, what's wrong?"

Luca had a feeling that something must have happened if Nina was calling at this hour after the incident this morning.

"Luca, were you asleep?" Nina asked. She was worried that she would disturb her.

"Of course not. Would I have been able to answer the call so quickly if I was asleep?" Luca comforted her. Nina was such a person—careful and afraid to trouble others.

"I'm at the entrance of your villa district. Do you mind opening the door for me?" Nina asked. She had pressed the visitor doorbell, but no one answered. She thought that it was either Luca was asleep or she was on the first floor.
