When Luke noticed that Nina was not speaking for a while, he spoke again, “Is there anything you want to say?” “Aren’t you too concerned about Luca?” Nina narrowed her eyes and asked. She admired Luca very much and treated her as a friend. However, Bianca was her friend too.Therefore, she could not accept that something was going on between Luca and Luke.Luke raised his brows and asked, “Why do you ask?”“You’re a married man. Although Bianca is abroad now, you can’t do such terrible things to her because of that. Do you understand?” Nina warned him.As Luke listened to her defending Bianca, he wondered what her reaction would be if she knew that Luca and Bianca were the same person.However, he could not tell her about this now.Luke replied, “Mind your own business.”“I don’t mean to mind your business, but Luca is a good person. I don’t want you to approach her too closely and get blamed for it.” Nina clenched her fists. She was worried about Luke’s mischievous attitude
Nina put her phone back in her bag.She took the initiative to take care of Luca because she saw that Luke was here and she wanted them to keep a distance from each other.After she decided to stay here and look after Luca, she realized that she had not prepared anything.Nina thought for a moment and took her phone out again. She thought of asking Sue to bring her necessities over when she got off work. That way, she could visit Luca at the hospital as well.She saw a friend request when she opened her Instagram.Nina was startled for a while. It was a friend request from Percy. She deleted him when she ended her toxic relationship with him back then. She did not block him as she thought he would not be shameless enough to pester her. However, he had sent her a friend request now. Did he have anything to tell her?Nina looked at the friend request. She thought it was probably nothing important since there was nothing written in the message box. She did not approve or rejec
Besides, although Percy was his biological elder brother, he was obviously closer to Luke.Hence, Pierre was not counting on Percy to help him. “I have to stay here for another night. Clean your room. I’m not used to staying in a messy room,” Pierre ordered Liam like a boss.Liam responded and stood up to clean up the master bedroom for Pierre. It was all for the sake of his business. Pierre snubbed out the cigarette and took his time to make a call to Old Master Mallory.The call was answered, and the old master immediately snapped at him from the other end of the call. “Pierre Mallory, where the hell have you been?”“Grandpa, I’m drinking at a friend’s house. Why? Did someone piss you off?” Pierre pretended to sound like he was tipsy and asked lazily.The old master listened to him and spoke in a serious tone, "Who's that friend? You're hiding from the police now, aren’t you? Come home now!" “What did I do that I should hide from the police? I can’t go back after drinking.
Luca listened to her and thought of the time when Sue and she were starting their business together back then.Although it was hard for them, they enjoyed being productive. When their company's development was getting better and better, as the company’s founders, they were allowed to take some time off to handle their matters.Luca wanted to turn back time so badly. She wanted to go back to the time when they worked hard together for their company.[Alright, then you can accompany me tonight. I’ll hire a caretaker to look after me tomorrow morning.] Luca was tapping on the keyboard of her phone screen.Nina shook her head when she saw that.Luca was the same as her. They were the kind of people who did not like to trouble others. Still, Luca was much stronger and more independent than she was. “Alright. I’ll look for a caretaker for you tomorrow. After all, I know who are the best caretakers in this hospital. I’ll stay here tonight, so stop thinking of sending me away,” Nina b
“Stop crying crocodile tears if you’re here to visit the patient. Your younger brother is the one who made Luca’s face like this. Nurse, this man is up to no good. Get him out of here,” Nina said with a sharp voice. The nurse helplessly looked at the two people who seemed to hate each other. She then turned to look at Luca. “What’s wrong with them?” Luca shook her head, telling her that she had no way to deal with them either. She would be able to convince them if she could talk. However, she could not talk now, and they were not reading the messages she typed on her phone.The nurse stepped forward and stood in between them right away. “You’re in the ward now. Go outside and you can argue as much as you like. The patient needs some quiet to rest.” Nina rolled her eyes with her arms crossed. She looked like she was disregarding what the nurse said. “Who wants to argue with him? I’m here to look after the patient. He’s not welcome here. Who’s to blame for that?” “I came to visi
Nina noticed the changes in Luca’s gaze. She looked like she wanted to comfort her. Nina placed the washtub on a chair and wet the towel. "Luca, Percy is getting married to the daughter of the Johnston family," Nina said sentimentally.Luca nodded her head, telling her that she knew about it.Nina spoke again, "I wonder why he came to the hospital to mess with me if he's going to marry the daughter of the Johnston family?"She probably would not have seen the truth if she had not met him this time and Luca was not here to enlighten her.Luca lifted her hand and stroked her head. Nina was startled. This gesture…When she was still close with Bianca back then, they would stroke each other's heads to comfort each other if one of them was feeling sad. It was to show that they still had each other. [Maybe there are some things that Mr. Mallory hasn’t told you.] Luca hinted at her.Nina looked at the words on the phone screen and smiled. “Yes, he didn’t tell me he was going to ma
Luke looked at the message Percy sent him. He had a profound look in his eyes. He had expected it. Pierre was unlike other people. He was difficult to deal with.After all, he was Old Master Mallory’s grandson, and he was similar to the old master.Luke sunk into his executive chair and pondered what his next move would be. This time, he had finally fallen out with Pierre. He would turn against him openly if he got away with it this time.He was not afraid that Pierre would retaliate. It was just that he was afraid Pierre would go after Luca.During the incident this time, Luke lost his self-control and showed too much concern for Luca.Once a person showed their weakness, the enemy would seize it and never give them a chance to breathe again. The study’s door was pushed open. Thud, thud, thud. Tommy ran in with his short legs and walked to Luke's side. He lifted his head and looked at him. "Daddy."“Yes?” Luke’s thoughts were interrupted. He put down his phone, looked at his
Luca pointed at her face helplessly to show him that it was inconvenient for her to drink it like this.The man realized it and asked in a low voice, “Do you have a straw? Where is it?”Luca pointed to the bedside cabinet. The man opened the drawer and took a straw out. Then, he placed it in the vial, brought it to her mouth, and muttered in a low voice, “How troublesome.”Luca ignored the man who scorned her and slowly took the antidote using the straw.Previously, she would always finish the antidote in one gulp. No matter how bad it tasted, she was always able to finish it in one gulp. However, she could only suck it with a straw now. The bitterness of the antidote quickly spread out in her mouth.The man shook the vial to check if it was emptied. After that, he kept the vial away.“Boss asked me to pass you a message,” the man said.Luca met his eyes in the dark. She remained silent and waited for him to continue his words. “Your progress is too slow. He’s very unhappy a
