Wanda looked at the sumptuous meal in astonishment.
Luca was good at baking cookies and making desserts. Wanda knew she was a good cook. However, she did not know Luca could prepare such a lavish spread of dishes.
The caretaker beside Wanda could not help but swallow her saliva as she gazed at the dishes in the lunch boxes.
She was not hungry at first, but her stomach eventually began to growl when she saw the dishes.
She was hungry...
"You made this?" Wanda could not hide the astonishment that laced her voice.
"Yes, but I'm not sure if it meets your preference.” Luca knew Wanda was surprised. She handed another lunch box to the caretaker and added, "I made too much. Mrs. Lane, would you like to have some too?"
Luca remembered that Luke mentioned the caretaker Wanda hired was called Mrs. Lane.
She was a highly regarded caretaker in the hospital.
A patient from a VIP ward happened to be discharged from the hospital, and Mrs. Lane volunteered to be Wanda's caretaker when she noticed that Wanda was looking for one.
"Is this for me? Thank you!" Mrs. Lane was not going to reject Luca's offer. She would love to try it after seeing Wanda's lunch box.
Mrs. Lane opened the lunch box and was surprised to find that the portion of food in her lunch box was the same as Wanda's.
The dishes in her lunch box were exactly the same as Wanda's too!
Previously, she had eaten many lunch boxes brought by other families, but they were just lunch boxes they brought along on a whim.
It was common for them to hope she could eat well and take good care of the patient.
However, the lunch boxes given to her were quite different from the ones they gave to the patients.
Mrs. Lane spent most of her time taking care of patients in VIP wards, but the lunch boxes given to her were not as plentiful as those given to the patients.
Moreover, her job was in the service industry. The nature of the job was similar to that of a maid.
Had one ever come across a situation where the masters expected the maid to eat the same food as them?
Hence, Mrs. Lane felt satisfied just having something better than what she usually had. She never gave it much thought.
However, when Luca gave her the lunch box, she suddenly realized that there really were people who were willing to prepare the same meal for both the patient and the caretaker.
Even though it was just a small lunch box, Mrs. Lane felt that Luca was treating her without implying a hierarchical ranking. She felt as though she and Wanda were equals at this moment.
Luca then took out a thermos flask filled with soup and said, "Ms. Rayne, Mrs. Lane, where are your food containers? Here's some hot soup. It's better to pour it out and let it cool down a bit."
Mrs. Lane did not expect Luca to even prepare soup for her. "Let me get them!"
She put down her lunch box and went to the balcony outside to wash her and Wanda's food containers before bringing them back in.
They usually used food containers to get their meals. They would bring them to the cafeteria to get some food. It was better and healthier than using disposable meal boxes provided by the cafeteria.
Luca poured the soup into the two food containers.
The soup was cream in color, and the rich and savory fragrance filled the air.
Wanda asked, "Is this clam chowder?"
"Yes, Ms. Rayne. Have more. If there's not enough bread, I brought a container of white bread for you," said Luca as she took out the last container.
The container was filled with white bread.
"This meal is incredibly generous and bountiful. It's all my favorite dishes. Luca, did you ask Luke about my preferences?" Wanda could not help but marvel. She had not had many meals with this young woman, so how did she know her preferences so well?
"No. These are just some of the home-cooked dishes I made." Luca shook her head. Even if Luke was attentive enough, he could not possibly know Wanda's preferences.
That was something she had learned before.
A person's preferences were unlikely to undergo significant changes.
Moreover, Wanda was not the type to eat the same dish every day until she got tired of it.
Therefore, Luca assumed that it was highly unlikely that there would be a dramatic upheaval in Wanda's preferences.
Wanda suddenly felt that she had a strong connection with Luca.
How could Luke possibly know every dish she loved?
Luca preparing the dishes she loved was not just a coincidence; it was fate.
"Ms. Rayne, just relax tomorrow. Dr. Willa is a professional. You'll recover and go home to keep Old Master Rayne's company after the surgery." Luca reminded her to stay strong as there was an elder in the Rayne family who needed her.
She had to be fine!
Wanda was taken aback for a moment, then she nodded.
"A pleasant mindset helps during the post-surgery recovery. I assume that your appetite isn't going to be great for the first few days after the surgery. Once your appetite improves, I'll prepare meals for you. Just let me know what you'd like to eat and I'll fulfill your wishes!" Luca smiled gently. She felt a lump in her throat when she saw Wanda's expression.
Wanda was one of the few people in this world who treated her kindly and genuinely.
Her words touched Wanda deeply.
Regardless of whether or not she could do what Luca said, her words made Wanda feel a sense of reassurance. It made her think of Bianca.
Only Bianca would be considerate toward her back then.
"Alright, I promise you that I'll win this war," replied Wanda.
"That's great! I believe you'll recover and be healthy again.” Luca urged, "Ms. Rayne, go ahead and have your meal. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Okay." Wanda took a bite, savoring the rich flavor and delightful texture of the meat. It was incredibly delicious.
Her eyes lit up as Luca's dish was truly a feast for the senses.
"It tastes good. Luca, your culinary skills rival those of professional chefs!" Wanda praised.
"Oh no. It's just a simple home-cooked meal, nothing extraordinary," Luca humbly replied. Still, she knew her skills were truly exceptional with so many people praising her cooking skills.
Mrs. Lane chimed in as well, "Ms. Craw, it's really good!"
"Please have more if you like it. I'll add more if the bread isn't enough for you," Luca could not estimate how much Wanda and Mrs. Lane could eat, so she prepared an extra box of bread to make sure that it would be enough for them.
After Wanda and Mrs. Lane finished their meal and soup, Luca began to clean up.
However, Mrs. Lane swiftly took over her tasks. "Ms. Craw, let me handle this."
After that, Mrs. Lane stacked the lunch boxes neatly and disposed of them. Then, she took the emptied thermos flask and headed toward the restroom to clean it thoroughly before returning it to Luca.
The lunch boxes were disposable, but the thermos was not.
After cleaning the thermos, Mrs. Lane handed it back and said, "The food you prepared is delicious. This is the most Ms. Rayne has eaten in one sitting."
"I had more since it was good. I'm honoring Luca's kind gesture," said Wanda.
Her appetite had always been small.
Wanda had eaten the most she had in a while today. She was starting to feel a bit full now.
Fortunately, there were still a couple of hours before the fasting time started. Even though she felt a bit bloated, she would have digested most of it by tomorrow morning. It would not affect the surgery.
