Luca looked down at the blood on the floor.It was bright red and not yet solidified.She was stabbed twice, and blood kept flowing out of her wound.Luca felt the pain but she knew that she would not die.Abel had picked the right spots to stab her. The pain was doubled, but as long as the wound was treated in time, there would be no major problem.Luca looked at the man in front of her indifferently. Her face and lips became very pale because she was bleeding. She looked extremely weak."Anything else?" she asked.Abel did not show admiration or sympathy for her calmness and weakness. He looked at her coldly and warned her for the last time, "Focus on what you need to get done."Luca did not say anything. She turned around to leave.The blood on her body would flow to the floor with every step she took.Bailey watched her leave with a frown and said, "Mr. Abel, the people you trained are good. She got stabbed twice but left as if nothing happened.""Everyone I trained can
"Nina, are the kids asleep?" Luca asked. She did not want to scare them."They’re asleep. What happened? Why do you sound so weak?" Nina noticed how terrible she sounded and asked quickly."Something happened. Can you drive over and pick me up at the gate of the villa? I can't walk, and they don’t allow cabs to go in," Luca said. If she had the strength, she would not want to trouble Nina."Okay, I'll come out right now." Nina did not dare to delay things. She immediately took the keys and left the villa. Her car was parked in the parking space outside the villa."Ma'am, we’re here. Are you sure you’re alright?" The driver noticed that Luca's complexion was getting worse and worse."I’m alright. I've asked a friend to pick me up, thank you." Luca held on. After she paid, she opened the car door, endured the pain, and got out.She saw Nina's car parked on the side of the road inside the villa area.Luca gritted her teeth and walked forward.It was too dark, so even though Nina w
Seeing that she insisted on not going to the hospital even though she was so injured, Nina gritted her teeth. She could only choose to believe that Luca could do it.With trembling fingers, she picked up the needle and thread. She put the thread through the needle. She asked, "Am I doing it right?""Yes." Luca gritted her teeth. Nina handed her the needle and thread. Luca raised her hand to take them. Then, she began to sew between the open flesh.Fortunately, she could still see where Abel stabbed her.Otherwise, she would not be able to suture her wound herself.Nina looked at Luca's pale face and her hands that were holding a needle to suture her wound. Her face could not help but turn pale.There was no anesthetic or tranquilizer, so it must be very painful. Nevertheless, Luca did not scream.‘Is she numb toward pain, or does she just not want to wake the kids up and scare them?’Either way, Nina admired Luca. She was impressed by her toughness.Luca endured the pain from
After Nina sighed in her heart, she opened the bedroom door and walked out.She checked in on the children one by one. They were all fast asleep, not awakened by their moving about.Nina confirmed that they had not rolled out of bed, then closed the door and shook her head.‘How could Luca have woken the children up when she was so careful all throughout?’She returned to Luca's bedroom, closed the door, and said, "Don't worry, Lanie and the others are sound asleep. They didn’t roll off the bed."Luca opened her eyes and looked at Nina. A slight smile appeared on her face. She knew that Nina was going to stay here tonight and did not want to turn her kind gesture down. She said, "I have a new blanket in my closet. If you want to sleep here, you can share the bed with me as long as you’re okay with the smell of blood on me.""I don’t mind it, but I’m not going to sleep here tonight. I'm afraid that I’ll accidentally hurt you when I’m asleep. I'll sleep on the sofa. The sofa in you
"I feel awkward listening to you thank me. By the way, I've already talked to Mr. Doyle but didn’t share any details. If you decide to go to work, let him know. You’re going to be late if you leave now, so if you insist on going, I'll drive you there." Nina glanced at the time. Luca would most definitely be late for work.Luca glanced at the time. It was late, and she had to go. "I still have to go, or work will start to pile up."While eating breakfast, she texted Jason and told him that she would be half an hour late.Jason replied immediately: [Okay, Dr. Craw.]Luca put down her phone and took her breakfast in big bites.Seeing this, Nina said to her, "Don't eat in such a hurry. Work is important, but your body is more important."Luca nodded and continued to eat breakfast.Nina held her chin, looked at Luca, and sighed. "I think Luke is lucky to have an employee like you."Luca paused what she was doing but said nothing.Nina did not continue to say anything. She just look
After a few minutes, Tina walked in with a few documents. "Dr. Craw, these are the documents you'll be working on today.""Okay, thanks." Luca took them and put the documents on the table.Tina looked at the thick folder. It looked like a lot, but compared to Alya's workload, it was not much at all.After all, Alya did most of the translation work."Dr. Craw, there are more documents today, so it’ll be a bigger pile than yesterday’s," Tina explained."It's okay, I can handle it." Luca smiled, turned on the computer, and started to work.Tina did not want to disturb her and walked out of her office....On the other hand, in South Korea.Luke checked Allison into a well-known plastic surgery hospital in Seoul.Allison looked at the interior and frowned, dissatisfied. "You put me in a hospital like this? The environment is not very good."Luke looked at the luxuriously decorated ward. It was still a ward, after all. It was a little different from a five-star hotel. He said ind
The young woman beside was secretly astonished while listening to the conversation between the mother and her son. However, Luke was her boss now. She could not say anything about it. She only had to listen to his arrangements. After Luke handled Allison's affair, he signed the relevant documents and left the hospital. He refused to stay any longer in South Korea. He could not wait to go home. He missed Luca so much. However, there was no flight back now. He had to stay for another night. Luke returned to the hotel. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. There were no other messages other than the ones from Jason and some other senior managers who were reporting to him. He had not received any messages from Luca or the kids. Luke put on a helpless expression on his face. Previously, the kids would send him messages every day to tell him how much they missed him whenever he went on a business trip, but there was not even one message from them now. It seemed like the k
Abel was in charge of Luca’s life. Luca pursed her lips so hard that her pale lips had turned purple. Even so, she did not say a word. Abel sneered when Luca did not reply to him. He continued, “I’ve already sold the formula. Things are going to get interesting now. Luca, I’d like you to do something for me.”Luca had a bad feeling about it. Her voice sounded hoarse and weak. “What—”Abel replied, “Make everyone think that it was Albus who sold the formula.”Luca was shocked. Let everyone think that it was Dr. Albus who sold the formula?If everyone suspected him, then Dr. Albus would definitely get fired. The company would hold him liable for selling the formula. Luca suddenly realized that Dr. Albus, whom she had been suspecting all this time, was not one of Abel’s men. Who had he sent here, then?Luca felt lost. She filtered through every subordinate under Dr. Albus in her mind, only to realize that none of them could overthrow Dr. Albus’ decision…Luca could not help bu
