At that time, although there was a maid at home, she insisted on being hands-on during the festivities.

She had not celebrated New Year's since she was kidnapped to the Island of Despair.

As such, she was taken back when Aunt Neile asked her if she wanted to go get some New Year's goods. She had almost forgotten about New Year's after three years.

Moreover, she had nothing to do with getting the New Year's goods ready.

After all, it was not her place to do so.

Luca got up and went downstairs. The children had already gotten up and were playing with each other.

When he saw her come downstairs, Tommy wanted to rush to her side but thought of her warning, so he could only stand there and say, "Ms. Luca, you're awake!"

"Mm, are you playing games?" Luca glanced at the toys they were playing with. They were the educational toys gifted by Old Master Crawford.

They were helpful for the children's intellectual development.

"Yeah, we didn't play with them when the Great-grandpa got it for us, so we thought of playing with them for a bit. This is a four-player game, so Lanie is playing for two players," Rainie said with a smile.

A four-player game...'

If Nyla were here, she would be able to play the game with them. She would even be a little rascal and ask her brothers and sisters to play nice.

Luca's mood turned gloomy when she thought of Little Nyla.

She was fortunate that Amur was now back on the Island of Despair, so there was one more person to help him take care of her.

Aunt Neile came out, saw that Luca had woken up, and said with a smile on her face, "Ms. Craw, you're finally up."

"Mm, the side effects of the drug are a little strong, so I slept for longer," Luca replied with a smile.

"Yeah, you were asleep for too long and didn't reply Mr. Crawford. He got worried and asked me to check on you to see if you were feeling unwell," Aunt Neile replied. Luke did not hear back from Luca, so he called Aunt Neile to check up on her.
