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
Of course, there was another kind of situation, which was Abel was trying to contact her.The numbers they had been using to call each other were a bunch of messy codes. If Nina and Luke saw such a thing, they would definitely suspect what kind of phone call it was. At the same time, there was no need to unlock the screen to answer a call. What if they answered it…When Luke saw her knowing that someone had been calling her but she was not in a hurry to check her phone, he started to suspect something. When a person knew they had missed calls, they would immediately check their phone to see who had called. However, Luca did not do so. Her expression was slightly unnatural as well.Was she sick and confused, or was she afraid of something? “Are you not taking a look at your phone?” Luke asked as he stared at her.Luca snapped back to her senses and took her phone out of the bag. As she unlocked the screen, then there were indeed a few missed calls. She was slightly relieved.
His words sent Luca's heart stirring with waves after it had started to slowly calm down. With those unintentional words, she could not help but suspect. Was Luke already suspecting her identity?If he did, would he do anything behind her back?The caretaker kept the bowl and cutleries away. Luke stood up and said, “The caretaker will leave tomorrow. If there’s anything you need, you can ask her to buy them for you.”"Alright. Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Luca was feeling uneasy, but her tone was still polite. Her reply was always distant and calm. Luke stared at her and wondered when would her emotions be affected.Probably when she was in fear. Luke did not say anything more. He picked up his briefcase, turned around, and left. He did not let her see him off. He walked to the entrance, opened the door, and closed it. He left the place with his lingering aura. Luca was feeling a little melancholic. The caretaker walked out after she had finished cleaning the dishes. She a
However, thinking from a different perspective, there was not much of her stuff here. It was unnecessary for her to use the maid's room, so naturally, she would not go in that often. Even though Luke's belongings were left here, it was not a big deal.At the thought of this, Luca walked to the table and pretended to ask inadvertently, “So, does that mean the people that Mr. Crawford sent won’t be coming today?”“Yes, I’ll be moving out after I tidy up all these. By the way, Ms. Craw, I bought some groceries for you when I went to the supermarket to get the bedding. They’re in the fridge. I’ve also put the receipts you requested in the plastic bag,” said the caretaker.“Alright, thank you.” Although Luca was not having a fever anymore, her body was still weak and she was fatigued. She was probably still going through the effects of the antidote. After all, it was the antidote that Abel had mixed something else in. Her body needed more time to recover.Now that the caretaker had bo
After making a simple lunch, Luca called the police station and asked if she was allowed to return to the apartment to pack her daily necessities. The policeman told her that he could only give her an answer after enquiring about it with his superior.Luca was aware the superior that they were talking about was probably Luke Crawford…Although the murderer had not been found, it was impossible that the apartment was shut off for such a long time. …The president’s office of T Corporation.Jason knocked on the door and entered the office before reporting, “Mr. Crawford, the police station just called. Dr. Craw called the police station and asked about wanting to go to the apartment.”Luke stopped typing on the keyboard and raised his eyebrows. “She wants to go to the apartment?” “Yes.” Jason nodded his head. “The police are asking for your opinion.”It was because Luke had a certain influence in City A, and he was considered as an involved party in Luca's case. Hence, the po
When the policeman heard it and realized that they might have missed out on a piece of important evidence, he took his phone out and looked for the photos of the scene. However, he was unable to find the grocery bag on the spot where Luca had fallen. He swiped backward, and finally, he found the grocery bag on the table. He handed it to Luca and said, "Is this the bag you've been talking about?""Yes, but obviously I was the one who carried it back home. How did it end up on the table?” Luca wanted to mislead the policeman and make him think that it was not her who placed the grocery bag on the table but the murderer.“We’ll find out about this.” Cold sweat was running down the policeman’s back. Based on what she said, the grocery bag must have been brought away by the murderer. Although it was strange for him to take the grocery bag and leave it on the table, it was still a bag that the murderer picked up. They seemed to have destroyed the evidence. It was just because the meat
Abel's hand was exploring her body restlessly as he lifted the corners of his lips. "What's the matter? Are you still in love with that man?"Hera chuckled and playfully pushed him gently. "'m just curious. You're still dealing with Luke after so many years. Is there some sort of resentment between the both of you?"“My hatred for him is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Do you want to know about it?” Abel asked softly as he leaned over to her neck like a dangerous serpent.Hera shivered for a moment, but she could not suppress her curiosity. “Tell me about it, will you?”Abel drew his hand away and stood up with extreme hatred and coldness on his face. “You shouldn’t have asked.”He resented Luke Crawford for taking his loved ones away, for his father’s death, and for destroying his family. After all those things that had happened between Luke and him, one of them was bound to die. However, he wanted Luke to have a taste of bitter anguish before he sent him to his de
