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
Mr. Bailey would certainly apply for the patent before Dr. Albus applied for it and launch the product after that.They only had to make up a list for the clinical trial, then they would be able to apply for the patent.Luca suspected that they would choose to launch the product around the time when T Corporation was bidding for the project. Besides, now that Luca had stolen the document, this series of events would deal blow after blow to Luke. Luca held her forehead. T Corporation would face a great crisis if this really happened. It would still be alright if T Corporation’s reputation was still well protected. What she feared the most was that Abel would think of a way to ruin the corporation's reputation. This way, Luke would have to face such a crisis and a huge burden at the same time.Luca recalled a few years ago when the property built by T Corporation was deliberately bombed by someone, causing the building to collapse. Luke had put in a lot of effort to get to the b
“I wasn’t feeling well, so I didn’t get to finish my work today,” Luca smiled and explained. “It’s just some translation work. It’s not a big deal.”Nina shook her head and muttered, "Translating is one of the most nerve-racking jobs. It’s a shame I don't know how to speak Russian. Luca, you're amazing." "When you live in an unfamiliar environment for a long time, you’ll naturally pick up the local language,” Luca said as she opened the document and laptop. Luca did not undergo any systematic training. She just learned the language herself during her three years on the Island of Despair. During that period, she often asked Eler and Amur to teach her Russian. Luca knew very well that mastery of language was an essential skill to survive in such a horrible environment. She had to know what the others were talking about behind her to be able to have the chance to survive.That was why she spent a year mastering basic Russian phrases. She then spent two years constantly picking up
Luca could clearly hear the voice that came from the other end of the phone call. She said immediately, “It sounds serious. You’d better get going.”“What about you…” Nina was worried about leaving Luca alone at home.“I’m fine. Look at me. I was fine last night, so nothing else will happen tonight. Don’t worry. Family is most important.” Luca convinced her. Nina pursed her lips. Something might happen to Jean at the hospital if Nina did not show up.She had no choice but to head to the hospital. “I’m going to the hospital, then. Remember to call me if anything happens here.” “Don’t worry. Nothing is going to happen. Oh, you’d better inform Mr. Mallory about this.” Luca reminded her. “Percy is someone with high social status. The hospital and police officers will cut Jean some slack even if something has happened.”"I got it," Nina replied. Then, she turned around and left. Luca slowly walked toward the door. She watched Nina leave the villa through the glass window, and she
