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
As the agent listened to her concerns, she smiled and explained, "Miss, don't worry. The apartment is located in a high-end residential area. The landlords who can afford the apartment units there are certainly are people with good personal qualities. And the apartment uses an electronic door lock. The password can be reset. Others won’t know the password except for the tenant herself." Luca nodded her head and did not say anything more. It was a steal for Nina to be able to rent an apartment at that price. The agent had explained to them that the landlord was planning to immigrate and thought that it was a pity to leave the house empty, so he wanted to rent it out as soon as possible. That was why the rental was so cheap.It was a reasonable explanation, but Luca had this weird feeling from the beginning. Nina signed the agreement and agreed with the agent that she would be moving in tomorrow. She had been excusing herself from work because of all sorts of matters in the past
Luke walked into the guest room, and Luca was right there lying on the bed.He went closer and reached out to put his hands on Luca's forehead. Her body temperature was burning… “How long has she been having a fever?” Luke asked."She was having a slight fever when it was noon, but I have no idea when her fever got worse," Nina answered helplessly. She believed that Luca must have gotten worse during her sleep.Luca did not even mention it when she was feeling uncomfortable. Luke shot Nina a glance when he heard that and remained silent. Just a glance and Nina knew he was blaming her for being careless. She then said, "I thought she was just tired. I didn't think much about it. And I dared not to wake her up in the afternoon…" Luke threw off Luca’s sheets and carried her in his arms right away.“Are you sending her to the hospital now?” Nina watched him carry her away and asked. “I’ve informed Johann. He’s waiting at the apartment,” Luke replied and carried Luca out of th
After half an hour, Johann walked into the bedroom to take Luca’s temperature. Given the effects of the antipyretic injection, Luca’s body temperature was getting back to normal. Johann let out a sigh of relief. After he left some antipyretics for backup, just in case Luca's fever returned in the middle of the night, he left Luke's apartment.When he left, he brought Nina along with him.Since Nina did not drive here, when Johann offered to send her back to the hotel, she accepted his offer happily. Both of them left the building and got into the car. Nina could no longer suppress the confusion in her heart. "Dr. Park, you've known Mr. Crawford for such a long time. Do you get the feeling that something is wrong with him recently?"“Something is wrong with him? I don’t think so.” Johann knew what she was going to ask. He denied it with a smile. Nina saw his smile that was as sly as a fox and pouted, "I know both of you are best friends. And men will certainly cover it up for eac
