Luca nodded and then asked, “Mr. Crawford, what do you want to have for breakfast?”“Anything will do. Bring Tommy along with you too. Buy something he actually likes to eat,” replied Luke.Luca nodded in response and brought Tommy out of the ward.After Luke walked into the bathroom to wash up, his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw that it was Bianca calling.After he knew that the Bianca in A City was a fake, he decided to remove everything that he had customized for her—including ringtones and wallpapers.He had no reason to do all that for a fake woman.Luke answered the call and spoke coldly, “It’s late. You’re still not asleep?”His words were showing concern for her, yet they were spoken in a cold tone. That surprised her, but she still replied, “I’m about to sleep, but I miss you, so I decided to give you a call. Luke, I hope I’m not disturbing you?”“Not at all.” Luke’s tone remained ice-cold. He left the bathroom, sat on the sofa, and waited for her reply.
After breakfast, Johann walked in with a medical report in hand and announced, “The report is out, and Jason will bring in the receipt in a short while. Arrangements for your discharge are complete, Mr. Crawford.”Luke stood up and said, “Let’s go, then.”Johann looked at Luca who stood at one side and asked her, “Dr. Craw, I suppose you’re still taking part in the off-site training today?”Luca nodded. She woke up early today, so she might be able to rush there.“I have nothing planned for today. Why don’t I give you a ride?” said Johann with a smile.Before Luca could reply, Luke interjected, “Is the car downstairs?”“Yes, Boss.” Jason nodded.“We’ll send Dr. Craw over to the training site,” said Luke. He then looked over at Johann and continued, “You don’t need to entertain Dr. Park.”Johann shrugged as he listened to the avaricious words and said, “Alright then. By the way, I asked forensics yesterday and they said the report on the blade should be out by today.”Jason cou
Luca did not need him to remind her about it. She looked in Dr. Albus’ direction and nodded.Since she did not say anything, Rhett chose not to either. After all, he just wanted to remind her, but she seemed calmer than he was. Not even a veteran like Dr. Albus could have a temper like hers.After Luke dropped Luca off at her destination, he went back to the office with his kid.After arriving at the office, Jason frantically pushed open Luke’s door before he could even get to work. “Boss, Miss Norman is waiting for you in the lobby. She said she has something important she wants to talk to you about.”“Which one?” Luke replied coldly, not bothering to raise his head.Jason replied, “Leia Norman, Mrs. Crawford’s younger sister.”When Luke heard her name, he suddenly remembered that she was here as well. He rejected outright without even thinking about it. “I have no time for her.”Jason knew he would say that, so he passed on Leia’s message. “Boss, Miss Norman said she has somet
Leia was stunned. Just as she was trying to figure out his words, Jason pushed the door open.“Please leave, Miss Norman.”Leia left just like that and was dissatisfied. She suddenly realized something. Queenie had mentioned before that she could come back as long as Luke gave the word. It turned out this was what she meant by that. Apart from Jack, even the man in front of her was stopping her from going back!She ignored Jason as she raised her pitch. “Why are you doing this to me? I want to go back!”Jason frowned when she raised her voice. He knew that this was not going to be easy to handle, so he walked out and spoke to the secretary, “Tell security to come up here, please.”Leia knew she was going to be dragged downstairs. She shuddered and fell to her knees, “Brother-in-law, I beg you. I just want to go back home.”She had never wanted to call him her brother-in-law, but now, she had no choice but to give in.Luke glared at her coldly. Her cries for help sounded like ins
Tommy stared blankly at her with tears in his eyes as if he would bawl his eyes out if she said she did not like him.Luca was mad at herself. She thought she had hurt his feelings with the tone of her voice.“Ms. Luca, I won’t bother you. Please don’t dislike me.” Tommy rubbed his eyes as he tried to contain his tears. Just the sight of him would melt anyone’s heart.“No, I don’t dislike you. Stop overthinking.” Luca grabbed his hand and said, “I just went to the supermarket. Guess what I bought?”Tommy still had tears in his eyes as he looked up at her. At least he was somewhat distracted now. “What?”“Your favorite snack,” replied Luca as she opened the drawer. She was going to be here for two weeks and would meet Tommy anytime, so she prepared them.She picked up a bag of chips that kids liked and handed it to him. “Here you go. Treat this as an apology from me. Don’t be sad, okay?”“You didn't do anything wrong.” Tommy was very happy when he saw the bag of snacks that he li
The car remained where it was. When she got out of the cab, she noticed that it was an ordinary car.As it was an ordinary car, she could not tell if the car belonged to Luke or Abel’s men.She did not walk over. Instead, she walked into an alley. The moment she went in, she heard the sound of car doors opening. She then quickly turned the corner. Since she was quite familiar with the place, she managed to avoid them.The spies looked at each other helplessly. She must have realized their presence…As a result, they failed their mission…After Luca was sure she lost them, she walked over to her destination. She then knocked calmly on the metal door.After a while, an enormous man walked over and opened the door. “Who are you looking for?”Luca did not panic as the man glanced at her from top to bottom. She replied, “I’m looking for Solomon.”“What business do you have with him?” The man let his guard down as he looked at the frail-looking woman in front of him. He lit a cigaret
Luca pulled the needle away and circled her arm around Solomon’s neck. There was a vicious expression on her face which sent a wave of terror across the two other men.“What… What are you… doing…” Solomon had some trouble speaking with his neck being choked like that.“Just testing the drug.” Luka glanced at the man's face. The venom would take some time to work. It seemed that she had to stay for a while longer. “Why don't we wait and see if the venom works before we talk?”Solomon shuddered for a moment. The force applied to his neck was so strong he could not break free. He knew what would happen if he did not administer the antidote in time, so he begged. “Please don’t. Let’s… Let’s talk about it.”As he said those words, he signaled his lackeys with his eyes.Luca noticed the slight changes in her opponent's movements, so she tightened her grip. “If you dare do anything funny, you might just endanger someone’s life.”Solomon shuddered once more. She was just a frail Eastern
Amur nodded but he did not mention what mission it was.“So you were carrying out your mission at that place?” Luca asked again.“Yes,” Amur replied and noddedSolomon was a well-known black market dealer, but he was different from others. His products were popular, but he had a terrible character.There was a kind of drug that Abel sought after.However, Solomon was not the original seller, so it was quite difficult to get the goods. After a few trials and tribulations, Abel managed to get information that Solomon had a customer who wanted the same drug, hence he ordered a batch of them.That was an opportunity for him, so success would have to depend on whether their plan worked out or not.Luca smiled as she listened to Amur’s explanation. There was no reason for him to lie. In that case, Luke’s poisoning had nothing to do with Abel.She breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she could not help but tease Amur, “Amur, you should not have been tied up like that.”Even though the th
