The words of praise left Luca with a rosy hue on her face. She rose to her feet and prepared to clean up the dishes.

Luke stood up as well and said, "Let me do it."

There was no way Luca could contend with him. Hence, she watched Luke as he picked up the two bowls and walked into the kitchen. After a while, the sound of running water came from the kitchen.

Luke was washing the dishes.

Luca was not too surprised and followed him into the kitchen.

While Luke washed the dishes, she tidied up the counter a bit.

The kitchen was spacious, and the two of them stood there. One of them was washing the dishes, and the other was cleaning the counter. Their hearts were close, even though they stood apart.

After a while, they made their way up the stairs together.

Just then, Luke's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID. Then, he frowned and answered, "What's the matter?"

On the other end of the line was Lucy, the maid who looked after Old Man Rayne. Her voice sounded anxious, "Mr. Crawford, Old Man Rayne fainted. We're in the ambulance on our way to the general hospital. Can you come to the hospital?"

"I'll rush over right away." Luke's expression turned serious. The joy and relaxation he had just enjoyed a moment ago vanished in an instant. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Luca with a grave expression.

"What's wrong..." Luca had a bad feeling when she looked at his expression.

"Grandpa Rayne fainted. He's being sent to the general hospital," said Luke. Even though Old Man Rayne had no blood relation to her, he had taken care of Luca since she was young. Therefore, it was only natural that she should know about this.

Luca's body slightly stumbled when she heard this.

"Why did he faint all of a sudden?" Luca had been conditioning Old Man Rayne's health, and he had already improved significantly. How could he suddenly faint?
