After Luca found her room, she pushed the door and walked in right away.When she was in A City, she would check carefully whenever she arrived at a new environment. She was afraid that she would fall into Abel’s trap.However, she was now in B City. She did not check anything because she had not told Abel about the trip in advance. Even if he knew, he could not have reached before her. After Luca closed the door, she opened her luggage and took her laptop out.She had come to travel this time, but her main motive was to search for Amur. Hence, she brought the laptop that was installed with special programs along with her. She turned it on, then connected it to the hotel’s public network. She detected the strongholds of the Island of Despair in B City.Soon, she found a corresponding stronghold. B City was located near the border of the country and was adjacent to a few poor neighboring countries. Hence, many engaged in the underworld.The underworld happened to strike Amur’
Tina furrowed her brows and refuted, "Yes, the grilled chicken is a little greasy. But it's not a big deal for us since we're still young. Our bodily functions and digestion are still working well. We won't put on weight if we exercise. We won’t dare to eat this when we get older, so we’ll maintain our body shape."Ms. Reid planned to mock them for not taking care of their diet. It suddenly got on her nerves when she was being insulted like this.She intended to insult Luca. After all, she had nothing to do with her, so Luca could not lay a hand on her. Hence, nothing would happen even if they insulted each other. However, she did not expect Tina to speak on behalf of Luca. Other than Mr. Doyle, Tina was another secretary of Mr. Crawford's whom he highly valued. Many years had passed and a few secretaries came and left but Tina never got fired. Even so, there was nothing going on between Tina and Mr. Crawford. Those people who loved to gossip could not get anything on her, and
After Luca returned to her room, she tossed and turned on the bed. She could not fall asleep.She planned to leave in the middle of the night. Hence, she decided to take a nap first. However, she did not expect herself to sleep for so long on the high-speed rail, so she could not fall asleep now.Luca sat up and touched her forehead. Then, she looked at the time. There were still two hours till midnight. It would be too early for her to leave now. However, she was afraid that she could not wake up later if she took some medicine to sleep. She had to look for Amur before it was too late.Luca could only spend time watching videos on her phone helplessly. Luke bringing all the employees for a trip to B City had become hot news in A City. Luca accidentally saw a news report about it when she was scrolling through some videos. She glanced at the comments below the video in passing.Some people left their comments under the video, expressing their thoughts about how rich he was.
There was no anesthetic left…Luca looked at the wound that was deep enough to see the bones. The wound needed multilayer mattress stitches, and the pain would be double of usual. Amur knew she was worried if he would be able to stand the pain. He pursed his lips and looked at her. “Don’t worry. I want you to close the wound.”Luca looked at him for a few seconds. The wound had to be closed, and they could not wait any longer.“Where are the supplies?” she asked after having decided to close the wound for Amur. “They’re in the drawer.” The man pointed at the cabinet beside and said.Luca opened the cabinet. The supplies were pretty complete except for the anesthetic.She poured some Povidone-iodine on some cotton and quickly cleaned his wound. Then, she began to close the wound. The needle poked into his flesh. Amur did not yell or scream. He lowered his head and stared at Luca, who was focused on stitching his wound. The wound on his arm was rather nasty, but she was not af
Luca clenched her teeth and glared at the man. He was here listening to her conversation with Amur, which was inconvenient for her. Amur knew she wanted to do what was best for him. She thought they could have each other’s back. However, he would be worried if she joined the mission. “It’s alright.” He could not say much about it. He could only comfort her with a simple few words.Luca stood up and looked at him seriously. "How is it alright? You're injured. Be careful next time, do you hear me?"“Yes. I’ll be careful.” Amur nodded. It was part of his plan to get injured this time. The mission given to him was to gain someone’s trust, so he deliberately took the stab for that person.However, he did not expect to be stabbed so badly."And don't ignore my messages. Haven’t you seen how many messages I've sent you? You didn't even reply. Even if you're busy with your mission, don’t you have the time to reply to my messages?" Luca pulled a long face as she continued lecturing him.
The next day.It was still early in the morning. Luca was still in bed when the doorbell rang.She rubbed her eyes. It took her a few seconds to realize that she was in the hotel and someone was knocking on her door.Luca sat up and quickly got out of bed. She walked to the door and looked through the peephole. It was Tina who was standing outside. She picked up the cup on the door, then unlocked the door.Tina smiled and greeted her when the door opened, “Good morning, Dr. Craw.”“Good morning.” Luca’s eyes were a little itchy. She could not help but rub her eyes.Tina apologized when she saw Luca bleary-eyed. She looked like she had not woken up. "I'm sorry to have woken you up, Dr. Craw."Luca shook her head. “It’s alright. Besides, it’s getting late. I was the one who woke up late. What’s the matter?” She could not blame Tina for waking her up. After all, she had only slept at four in the morning. She thought that she would take some pills since she had no plans today an
Luca kept yammering. The more Amur listened to her, the more touched he felt. How wonderful would it be cared for by her forever?She had seen him when he was at the weakest moment in his life. She encouraged him to be brave and grow up. He had also seen her when she was at the lowest point in her life. He had silently kept her company. They had been through so much together but she had never fallen for him. Was he not good enough? He was indeed not good enough compared to the one in her heart. Luca asked again when she did not hear any reply from him, “Amur, are you listening?”“I’m listening. My wound is fine. I’ve changed the dressing. Don’t worry.” Amur snapped back to his senses and replied to her.Luca was relieved when she heard him.The doorbell rang. She wondered if it was Tina at the door. She said to Amur, “That’s great. Stay safe. I’ll talk to you later.”Amur wanted to ask her what she was busy with since she came here for a trip. However, she hung up the phone
The swimming pool was 50-meter long. Two laps would be a hundred meters. Luca stood far away and watched them compete with a lack of interest.“Dr. Craw, it might be boring now. But it’s going to get exciting when it comes to the women’s team,” Tina blinked playfully. “Oh?” Luca looked at her."Most of the employees in the company are young. Look at how sexy and pretty they are. They'll do their best to win the competition," said Tina. To be fair, there would be a champion for the men's and women's teams respectively.Luca understood what she meant. She was trying to say that the competition between women was always fiercer than men.Luke only appeared when the competition for the men's team was about to end. He was wearing his sunglasses and was casually dressed. He looked peculiar as everyone surrounding him was in their swimwear. His appearance heightened the atmosphere at the swimming pool.The female employee beside Tina could not help but murmur in a soft voice. "Why i
