Tears welled up in Nina's eyes when she saw that Luca came prepared. She thought that Luca was worried about her, and that was why Luca wanted to stay over for a few days… Luca thought that Nina was reluctant to let her stay there. She said, "If it's not convenient for you, I can book the room next door. I don't have my ID with me now, so I might have to borrow your ID to book a room." Her concern for Nina was genuine, but she was also using Nina for her convenience. She would have to go and take the antidote in two days. It would not be very convenient if Luke's subordinates tailed her. Nina said, "I'm happy that you're willing to accompany me. Thank you so much, Luca." She was genuinely touched by Luca's gesture, and she called her "Luca" instead of "Dr. Craw." Luca smiled and put her backpack away. "What would it be? Can you still sleep?" Nina shook her head. "I don't think I can sleep." Luca could see the sorrow in her eyes. Even though she had missed out on what
Nina moaned comfortably. "Where did you learn this technique, Luca?" "I devised it myself. How does it feel?" Luca looked at Nina's face and planned how she could make her life more comfortable. If what Nina said were true, Percy would not let her go that easily, and he might be able to find her by today. "This is great. You're so amazing, Luca. You're well-educated, gentle, and caring, not to mention you're a great cook. You even know how to give great massages too! Any man would be very lucky to marry you," Nina praised. At the same time, she thought of Bianca. Luca's personality reminded her of Bianca before she lost her memories. It was understandable that Luke was interested in Luca. Women like her deserved to be loved and pampered. Any man would want their wife to be like that. Luca smiled but said nothing. She continued pressing certain spots on Nina's temples to make her feel better. She was not as amazing as Nina said. She imagined that Nina would hate her if Nina
The door slammed loudly in Luca's face. She wanted to kick down the door in her anger, but she stopped herself from doing so because Luke was just next to her. She turned around and looked at the man leaning against the wall. "What is it, Mr. Crawford?" Her tone of voice changed from agitated to composed in one second. "I'm here to see if you lied to me," Luke said. He could sense the sudden change in Luca's attitude. Luca seemed to be a different person when she stood up for Nina. Bianca was like that too. Whenever she heard that Nina was in danger, she would try to stand up for her no matter how weak she was. Luca also wanted to protect Nina. However, she exuded an aura of might instead. In any case, Luca's fearless spirit when she tried to protect her friend reminded him of Bianca. "I have no need to lie to you," Luca said, wondering if that was the only reason why Luke came to look for her. With Luke's help, it was no wonder that Percy managed to find Nina so quickly.
Luke knew all that, but Luca did not. That was why Luca was doomed to lose right from the start. Seeing how confident Luke was, Luca began to wonder if she had fallen into Luke's trap. If she really lost the bet, what would Luke make her do? Would he force her to tell him all the secrets of the Island of Despair? When she thought about that, she regretted her impulsive decision even more. Just when she was thinking if she should rescind the bet, the room door opened, and Percy stormed out. Luca was shocked by Percy's reaction. She instinctively glanced into the room. Nina was sitting on the couch, and Luca could not see her expression clearly. Percy, standing at the door, shouted into the room. "You'll eventually return to me, Nina Langdon!" Then, he walked away in big strides. Luke also left, following behind Percy. After Luca watched the two men leave, she quickly went into the room and closed the door. In case the two men would return, she also bolted the door firm
Not long after Nina had just entered the bathroom, the doorbell rang. Luca went to answer the door. This time, she cautiously looked through the peephole to check on the situation outside. She only opened the door after making sure that Percy had not returned and it was the waiter who came to deliver food.After the dining cart was pushed in, she requested the waiter to send two ice packs over. She wanted to reduce the swelling in Nina's eyes. “Miss, the ice packs are in the interlayer of the dining cart.” The waiter smiled and replied. Luca raised her eyebrows, opened the interlayer drawer, and glanced at it. There were indeed two ice packs inside. She did not request the waiter for them before this, but they were already prepared in advance. No matter how silly she was, she knew what was going on.Percy knew Nina would cry after he left, so he asked the waiter to prepare these.This man knew Nina well. Usually, a man would only be attentive to the woman he loved. Could it
After Nina heard it, she nodded her head. It was indeed Tia. Was Tia the only beautiful woman? As a woman, looking from an aesthetic perspective, Tia was not that pretty. She was only good at dressing up herself and covering all of her flaws. She was cautious even when she was walking normally, controlling her tendency to out-toe.It was only because Tia was rich, which made her look glamorous in the eyes of others. Who knew if she was good-looking after her makeup was removed?The beautician saw her keeping silent and asked curiously in a soft voice, "Miss Langdon, do you know her?" “She’s famous, everyone knows her.” Nina and Luca exchanged glances and went back to closing their eyes without planning to say anything much. The beautician was someone who knew how to judge situations. When she realized the other party refused to talk about it, she did not continue to ask.Nina and Luca did not continue their conversation, while the chattering next door went on and on. After
Speaking about bubble tea caught Nina's interest. She nodded her head as she walked in the direction of the bubble tea shop arm in arm with Luca. In the beauty salon, Sophia shot a glance at Tia. The look on her face was terrifying.“Ms. Tia…” She reminded her in a soft voice. “The people in the beauty salon are looking at us.”As Tia watched Nina and Luca leave arm in arm, she turned around and asked the staff working in the beauty salon. "They were in the room next to us all along?""Yes, Miss." The beauty salon manager nodded her head and replied. She did not expect something like this to happen and wondered if she should renovate the beauty salon to improve the soundproofing. Tia took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions that were about to explode within her. “When did they start their facial session?” “Probably ten minutes earlier than yours,” the beauty salon manager replied in a soft voice. Tia staggered. Then it mean they had heard everything she told Sophia.Sh
Luca walked in after the door was opened. She was surprised to see Abel sitting on the chair. He was actually in A City…Back then when she was on the Island of Despair, she often saw Abel in A City. The errands were always run by someone else. Ever since she got out of the island, the chances of him being in A City were higher. Sometimes, Luca thought that he did not rebuild the Island of Despair for the sake of money. It was to deal with Luke Crawford. Luke Crawford was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to get rid of it, and she was his tool. "Why are you so late?" Abel complained and glanced at the time. She was half an hour late for the appointment. "Your reckless way of doing things has caused me to be followed closely by his men now. I needed some time to get rid of them," Luca explained with many grievances in her tone. Abel listened to her and chuckled. Then, he made eye contact with his men. His subordinate received his signal and handed the vial to Luca. Luca s
