Luca shook her head and told Marcos he did not need to thank her. After glancing at Luke, she knocked on the door of the ward.

Then, she opened the door.

“Ms. Poplar," said Luca before she could even see her. She walked into the ward and gently closed the door.

Luca usually came to visit in the afternoon, so Sarah was surprised to see her at this time. "Ms. Craw, come sit down."

She had been here for several days now. The apprehensiveness she felt about Luca at the start was gone, and now she was relieved that the person who saved her did not have ill intentions. Thus, she could focus on recovery with peace of mind. She could repay Luca in the future.

However, Luca did not sit down. Instead, she glanced at the caretaker and took out some cash before handing it to her, saying, "Can you please get me a cup of coffee downstairs? I'll keep an eye on things here."

"Sure." The caretaker took the cash and left the ward without a word.

After the caretaker left, Sarah advised her, "Ms. Craw, drinking coffee at night will affect your sleep."

"Don't worry about it." Luca shook her head as she did not actually want coffee. She just wanted an excuse to send the caretaker away.

She pulled out the chair beside the bed and sat down as she looked at Sarah, who was on the bed.

Sarah thought that she was acting strange, so she asked, "Ms. Craw, what is it?"

Luca observed the traces of aging on Sarah's face. After taking a look at the documents, she could see that Sarah's facial features still resembled her younger self. It was just that time and life had not been kind to her.

A woman's beauty could not stand the test of time.

"Ms. Poplar, you must've been very pretty when you were younger," said Luca.

Upon hearing what she said, Sarah began recalling how she looked when she was younger. Touching the wrinkles on her face, she dodged her question and sighed. "I'm old now, so I can't remember much. Look at the wrinkles on my face. I've forgotten what I looked like."

She was indeed very beautiful in the past. Plus, she was well-educated, which was what attracted her husband.
