Luca put the trekking poles away. She saw that Luke's hair was dripping with water. She thought of taking the paper towels from her backpack to dry his hair, but her backpack was not waterproof, and the paper towels had already turned into a pile of mush. There was nothing she could do about that, and she closed her backpack. Luke had always kept an impeccable appearance, so Luca was quite surprised to see that unkempt side of his. In any case, her appearance was in the same sorry state. "What do we do now, Mr. Crawford?" Luca asked for his opinion. Luke took out his phone. His clothes were soaked, and his phone could not be turned on. "Can you use your phone?" Luca took out her phone from her backpack. Her phone had been enhanced by the people on the Island of Despair, so it was waterproof. Even so, it had already turned itself off. She looked at Luke and said, "I can only turn it on after it's dry." Without a usable phone, they could not call Jason or inform the villa s
It was the first time that Luca had to lie outdoors with no regard to her image. She wondered if she would have to spend the night with Luke here. If the rain continued, it would not be very convenient for Jason and the others to find them… After lying for some time, Luca thought that the hard stone surface was quite uncomfortable. She slowly flipped to the other side and happened to meet Luke's gaze. She was surprised. When did he start looking at her? "Are you uncomfortable?" Luke noticed that she was not lying still. Perhaps it was caused by the injury on her waist. "No, it's just that the surface is quite tiring to lie on. I just wanted to change sides," Luca half-closed her eyes to avert his gaze. Lying on the other side was a little easier on her back, but her clothes were wet, so it was not very comfortable. She did not mind the wet clothes too much, but she knew that Luke was a clean freak.Even though Luke was sitting there calmly, Luca could guess that he was s
Luca had drunk from the bottle earlier… Luca saw that Luke had gulped down more than half of the water in his bottle. She could tell that he was thirsty and tired. She thought for a while and said, "Mr. Crawford, I mixed some glucose in my bottle. Do you want to drink from this?" Luke looked at her and said nothing. "But I already drank from it. It's okay if you mind it…" Luca thought he did not want to drink from the same bottle as her. When she was about to keep it in her backpack, Luke opened his mouth. "You should save it for yourself," he said. He thought that Luca needed more nourishment than him because she was hurt. They only had two bottles of drinkable water between them, and looking at the heavy rain outside, they might have to spend the night there. That was why Luke did not want to take the bottle from her. "Alright then…" Luca thought that he was disgusted by the offer. She did not say anything and put the bottle back into her backpack. The strong wind con
Luke listened to her earnest explanation. It was as if she was trying to cover up something. However, he was not able to verify what she said, so he did not say anything.It was getting darker. Luke glanced at the time on his watch and found that it was already 11 o'clock.Luca’s stomach started to gurgle. He immediately looked at her when he heard the sound.Luca touched her stomach, embarrassed. The sound came from her stomach. She never thought that after a few months of living a comfortable life, her stomach would become so sensitive."You’re hungry?" Luke stood up, wanting to see if he could find anything to eat nearby.There was a lot to eat in the mountains. Before it rained, he did not expect to be trapped here for so long."No, Mr. Crawford. Where are you going?" Luca saw him walk to the pavilion and stood up as well."I’ll head out to have a look. When we walked past the area today, I seemed to see a fruit forest," Luke said.Luca also remembered that there was a frui
Luca leaned against Luke and silently endured the pain she felt in her heart.The scene was what she had dreamed and hoped for countless nights. Now that she was able to curl up beside him, those dreams had come true.However, she was still unhappy.What Luca wanted was not his indifferent attitude. Even though the temperature of his body could warm her body, she was not close to getting the warmth and love from his heart.She initially thought that Luke's concern toward her was real.However, it seemed that it was all fake. His attitude was cold, and she knew she had no grounds to ask him to treat her warmly."Get some sleep. It's going to be dawn soon," Luke said with his eyes closed.Luca did not know how he knew she was not asleep. She leaned against him and closed her eyes.At dawn, the rain stopped.When the rain stopped, the birds in the forest flew out. Luca opened her eyes. When she heard the birds chirping, she knew that the weather was clear.Luca raised her gaze.
This incident was the staff member’s fault, and the manager knew that they were in the wrong. He said with a smile, "Villa Almira takes protective measures as such seriously. These stones are an accident. Don't worry, I’ve already got someone to go down with food and water. They’ll look for Mr. Crawford and the others starting from the fork in the road."Jason showed no reaction toward the arrangement, and the manager was stumped.The manager could only urge the porters to move faster when he saw Jason’s temperamental reaction.An hour later, the stones on the mountain road were cleared. Jason looked at the figures in the distance and hurriedly ran down. "Boss."When he got closer, he realized that Luke was carrying Luca."Dr. Craw, are you alright?" Jason asked with concern. He knew that the situation was bad and Tina was in big trouble."I'm fine," Luca said. She would not have to be carried by Luke if he had not realized that her waist was still hurting.Jason did not know wh
Luke knew that Jason was gone but he maintained the same position. He sat there and stared at the laptop screen.His mind was full of memories from last night and what had happened in the past. They were different things but the memories were overlapping with each other. It was messy.Everyone sang with different vocalization patterns. Different languages would lead to different vocalizations as well.He thought of the tone of the song Luca sang last night. The more he thought about it, the more the tone sounded like Bianca’s vocals.Luke raised his hand to cover his forehead. He was overthinking, and his thoughts were everywhere...If a person deliberately tried to imitate another person, they would try to sound similar to their target. He was confused because with Luca, there were some differences in the similarities."Luca, who the hell are you..." Luke muttered to himself.On the other hand.Luca took a taxi back to the hotel. Tina was still being cautious around her. She w
Hearing that, Luca immediately said, "Don't worry about it. I'll head down for dinner tonight."Tina nodded and repeated the doctor's words. "Alright then, Dr. Craw. Don't do strenuous exercise and rest more so that you don't burden the muscles in your waist.""Mm, got it." Luca nodded.After Tina left, she lay on the bed, put the laptop aside, and watched the tracking program run. She noticed that Amur was headed toward the border.The mission that Abel gave him was probably related to the border trade.Luca thought of the drugs that Abel had instructed Amur to snatch on the black market in New York and how Amur was currently heading toward the border. She knew that there was something illegal going on...She clenched her fists at the thought of Abel putting Amur in danger...If Amur's plan failed, he would be one of the world's most wanted criminals.Luca yawned as she looked at the moving red dots. Amur would not arrive at his destination so quickly, so she could still get s
