Amur sat in the car, picked up his phone, took several photos of Enoch, and sent them to Luca.He texted: [He came to T Corporation to wait for you again.]He then put the phone away.Meanwhile, everyone from T Corporation eventually found out that Enoch was waiting for Luca downstairs with a big bouquet in his hands. Tina frowned when she found out. "He’s so annoying!"Alya, who was sitting behind her, heard her and could not help but chime in, "I don't think he's annoying. I think he's very romantic. Dr. Craw is too lucky to be pursued by a civil servant. He even brought flowers. I’m jealous."Tina glanced at her and could not help but roll her eyes. "Alya, you're already married. Why are you so easily caught up by little tricks like those?""He’s being romantic! My husband does nothing. He’s not at all romantic like this man who’s pursuing Dr. Craw," Alya said. She was envious."Life is all about the seemingly mundane days. Your husband has been there for you for everything
"Yes." Since Tina could not do anything about it, the security guards went back to their stations and stared at Enoch.Tina returned to the lobby and spoke to the front desk before walking to the elevator.Before she went upstairs, she glanced at Enoch, who was still standing by the door. She shook her head helplessly.Fortunately, Luca was not here, so he was standing there in vain. Although their boss had been discharged from the hospital, he was still working from home and Luca was with him. Enoch would not see Luca for some time.After Tina left, Enoch still stood on the side of the road to wait for Luca.He believed that as long as he continued to wait, he would be able to see Luca.Amur, who was standing across the road, looked at Enoch who did not seem like he was about to give up. He picked up his phone and saw that Luca had replied to him.She asked him to leave Enoch alone.Amur squinted his eyes. It was a dangerous situation. How could he let things be?He had to be
There was a sudden sound. Tina suddenly turned around and saw him withdraw his hand before angrily rushing toward her. She could not help but back away. "What are you going to do?""I just want you to call Luca! Give me your phone!" Enoch reached out and asked her for her phone.Tina was frightened. She was worried that he would hurt her if she did not do as he said.She trembled as she took out her phone from her bag.Enoch's eyes lit up the moment he saw the phone. When he wanted to use it to call Luca, he was pressed against the wall by a force and was unable to move."Who did that?!" Enoch shifted his gaze from Tina, only to see a man who was one head taller than him holding onto him. He waved his hands, trying to get away. However, the man was extremely powerful. "Who are you?"Amur had followed him here. It was obvious that Enoch was stalking Tina.He wanted to wait for Tina to go back and find a chance to teach Enoch a lesson but did not expect him to attack Tina.He
"I know." Amur noticed that Tina seemed a little disappointed, so he added, "Although it’s different, it tastes good."Tina showed a smile and raised her eyebrows as he commented on the pot pie bluntly. "I knew that this pot pie would be able to conquer your taste buds."Amur also added some chili sauce to the pot pie as she did.Tina wondered, "Do you also like spicy food?""I eat whatever she eats," Amur said. In the three years that they spent on the Island of Despair, his preferences had been influenced by Luca. He liked whatever she cooked.Tina understood that he was talking about Luca.For some reason, she always felt that Amur had a secret that could not be told.‘What is this secret? We just met by chance, so it’s hard to say.’The owner went over to their table with some side dishes and put them on their table. "These are for you. Eat them with the pot pie and they’ll bring out a unique flavor.""Thank you. So many people like your pot pies. It's time to open a branc
Seeing that the gauze was stable even with the weight of his leg, Luca breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Luke who was sitting in the bathtub and said, "Mr. Crawford, have a nice shower. I'll be waiting outside the door.""Mm," Luke nodded. Although it was a bit awkward to take a shower like this, it was a better option than wiping his body with a wet cloth.Luca left the bathroom and closed the door for him. She did not lock it from the inside because she would have to come in later.The maid came over and asked softly, "Ms. Craw, are you done?""Yes, somewhat. Getting Mr. Crawford out of the bathroom after his shower is a big task," Luca said. After Luke was done, she would first drain the water from the bathtub so that his injury would not risk getting wet.If he deliberately did not wear a bathrobe...Luca's face warmed at the thought that she might see something she should not."I'll stay and wait for Mr. Crawford to finish his bath." The maid was worried that Luca wo
Whatever it was, Luca felt uncomfortable.She left the maid's room with the hairdryer and closed the door for Luke.She then stood by the wall and took a few deep breaths.Luke heard the sound of the door closing, turned his head, and looked at the door. The tightly closed door separated him and Luca.He had deliberately entered his password in front of her.Up until now, he was sure that Bianca was back, but she refused to admit her identity. She was controlled by others who had an ulterior motive.The other party might be going after him and T Corporation.Therefore, he deliberately entered the password in front of Luca to let her know that he had not changed his passwords over the years. His passwords were all related to her birthday.Since she knew his passwords, she might make a move. All he had to do was wait. Luke retracted his gaze and clicked on the software on the computer.He had installed surveillance in the entire house where necessary, but he did not install
Luke's words made Jack determined. "I’ve been considering a position for transfer recently and Enoch was shortlisted. I know what to do."Jack considered that Enoch was a local, and his whole family was involved in local politics.Even though he was on the dispatch list, he was still thinking about whether to transfer him.However, Jack did not have any second thoughts now. He decided to transfer Enoch.Enoch had no one to blame. After all, as a father, Jack had done very little for Bianca. He had to do something for her now.Moreover, Enoch's transfer was also a promotion. It was good for his future development."Yeah." Luke did not say anything after he heard Jack's answer. He knew that Jack would do what was necessary.When he was about to hang up the phone, Jack checked in on how he was doing. "By the way, Luke, are you okay?""It wasn't great at first, but she's by my side and I’m fine now." Luke's words made Jack smile.Luke did not express much love for Bianca in front
“Wow, then Brother-in-law must be a great person.” Leia listened to his analysis as she deliberately exclaimed. “Of course. Luke is very capable,” Queenie joined the conversation. Her voice was filled with admiration for Luke. Leia felt depressed when she heard Queenie say so.How could an outstanding man like Luke fall into Bianca's hands if it were not because they refused to help her and favored Bianca over her?However, Bianca did not appreciate Luke either.“There must be many women who have their eyes on such a capable man like Brother-in-law. Sis still hasn't come back yet. Could it be that she doesn’t care about him anymore?” Leia pretended to mention Bianca unintentionally. Queenie’s smile disappeared when Leia mentioned Bianca. It had been three days since Queenie received Bianca’s call.“Your brother-in-law isn’t someone like that. Stop talking nonsense.” Queenie held Leia’s hand and squeezed it gently, hinting her to stop talking about it.Bianca's matter was a k
The volunteer did not mind. As long as it meant he could recover, he was willing to endure any pain. “It's okay. I can handle it.”Luca nodded.The door to the vehicle opened, and a man stepped inside. Due to the lack of sterilization, he did not dare approach the inner part of the vehicle. Instead, he placed several bottles of saline on the outside.“This is the saline that Mr. Shanks prepared. He asked you to inject it when you can,” the man relayed Shanks' message.“Got it.” Luca reached out to take the bottles. After thoroughly disinfecting them, she brought them inside.It was more complicated than being in a hospital.Since the volunteer's body was still weak. They had to maintain as sterile an environment as possible.However, it still fell short of the ICU's standard.Luca stayed with the volunteer until evening. Gerald stood outside the medical vehicle and called, “Ms. Craw, it's time for dinner.”Luca took off her protective gear and stepped outside.“Ms. Craw, di
“Don’t worry, it won’t affect you in the slightest,” said Abel.The villa was bought under Shanks’ name.So while it appeared to be the Island of Despair’s property, it was, in fact, Shanks’ personal asset.Abel shot a glance at his subordinates, who stood beside him. Without hesitation, they grabbed the doctor and hauled him away.As Hera watched the scene unfold, she felt a sudden pang of unease. She was well aware of Abel's methods. Punishment was never off the table. However, seeing the way things were unfolding, Hera could not shake the feeling that Abel might actually take the doctor’s life.Still, they were in A City, a country with strict laws. Would Abel really go that far?As Abel turned to leave, Hera said almost nervously, “Darling…”“I have some matters to take care of. Be good and stay here. Don’t wander around, okay?” Abel’s mood was apparently lifted by the successful surgery. His voice was unexpectedly gentle.Hera’s unease only deepened. She grabbed the slee
All three of them stepped out of the vehicle.Hera realized that the surgery might already be over and could not wait to hear the results.Abel, equally eager, immediately asked as soon as he saw them, “Is the surgery finished?”“Yes, the surgery was successful. The transplant was completed, and all the nerves we could connect have been repaired. Now, it’s up to the follow-up treatment,” answered Shanks.The doctor who had been kicked out earlier stared in disbelief.They actually succeeded in the transplant? How was that even possible?“Great, fantastic!” Abel let out a sigh of relief before bursting into laughter.What had seemed impossible in modern medicine had achieved a different outcome in Shanks’ hands.Unlike others who might celebrate the medical breakthrough, Abel’s joy came from a more personal place—Kassy would soon return to his side. His delight was unmistakable.“T-This can’t be!” muttered the dismissed doctor, who was still in shock. “A surgery this revoluti
After returning to her room, Luca told Luke about the surgery that day.She explained that she had not been able to participate in the operation and was uncertain if Abel would prevent her from being involved in the future. If she was not allowed to take part, she might lose her excuse to stay here. Also, she would not be able to help with what was to come.Luke replied to her message quickly, assuring her that everything was already planned out and she did not need to worry.Luca frowned slightly as she read his message. She wanted to ask about his plan but hesitated for a moment and decided against it. Knowing too much about Luke's men might backfire.Luca deleted their chat history but soon received another message from him.He told her that T Corporation had successfully won the bid and that he had already found someone to replace Lucius’ role.Luca let out a sigh of relief. Finding a replacement for Lucius meant that he was out of danger for now. The worry that had been we
However, Abel was not fooled by her words.He asked again, “Who are you looking for?”“Oh, I'm looking for Gerald. I've noticed that most people are here, but Gerald is missing, so I was just curious,” Hera replied honestly, knowing that Abel was naturally suspicious.“I’m starting to feel like you’ve become quite close with Gerald recently,” Abel asked suspiciously.Hera froze for a moment, then laughed and explained, “I often ask him to help with little things. He might not have many qualities, but he’s pretty diligent.”Abel did not respond right away, as though he was considering her words carefully.Hera lowered her voice and teased, “What's the matter? Are you jealous?”Before he could answer, she quickly added, “You’re so outstanding. How could I ever be interested in some ordinary man?”As soon as she said that, a flicker of unease crossed her mind.Abel was far superior to Lucius in looks and wealth. However, she seemed to be more drawn to Lucius.Despite her actions
For Shanks, no matter how skilled the two ophthalmologists were, they could not compare to Luca. The key was their smooth coordination. They were used to working together. If it were other doctors, they would probably start asking questions once they entered the operating room, making it impossible for Shanks to focus and perform the surgery calmly.Shanks believed this was a groundbreaking procedure, not just another teaching surgery for ophthalmologists.Abel understood Shanks’ concerns, but he still insisted, “They’re not just any doctors. They’ve signed agreements, and they won’t interrupt you with questions during the surgery. They’ll cooperate fully.”As Luca listened to Abel, she realized what he was really worried about. Besides the risk of the surgery failing, he was not confident in her.This surgery was important, and Abel was worried she might sabotage it in the operating room.Shanks furrowed his brows and looked at Luca.Luca gave him a faint smile. Whether or not
As Gerald shook his head furiously, it was not difficult for Luca to figure out what was going on.She glanced at Hera's irritation and figured it all stemmed from Luke being reassigned. Not being able to see him was clearly driving her to act like this.Luca secretly let out a sigh. They said women were the cause of trouble, but honestly, men could just be the same.Even with Luke disguised as an ordinary man, his cold and commanding air still captivated Hera.She glanced at the bowl nearby. The food Gerald brought Hera was barely touched.It seemed like she was so consumed with thoughts of Luke that she had lost her appetite...Luca’s expression remained unchanged. She was long accustomed to keeping her emotions in check around others.“Ms. Sanchez, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not close with Mr. Lucius, so I don’t have his contact information.” Luca kept her face impassive.“You’re lying!” Hera narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “You’re so close to him. How could you not have it?”
As soon as Luca returned to her bedroom after dinner, she received a video call request from the kids.It had been a long time since she last saw them. When she saw the call request, she locked the door, put on her headphones, and immediately answered.“Ms. Luca!” As soon as the call connected, the faces of all three kids appeared on the phone screen.“Sweethearts!” Luca blew them a kiss.“Ms. Luca, we miss you so much!” Tommy was the first to express how much they missed Luca.Luca's heart stirred with waves of longing when she heard them. She had been so busy recently, hoping to finish everything here quickly so that she and Luke could reunite with the kids. That was why she had not contacted them much.Plus, with Old Master Crawford taking care of them, she felt at ease.Now that Luca saw the faces of the three kids, her longing for them instantly surged and overwhelmed her.Her eyes reddened. “I miss you all so much too.”Rainie, always the thoughtful one, noticed her em
The men in the room were wincing in pain, but when they heard Gerald’s words, they were so furious they almost wanted to lash out at him. However, all their strength had been sapped by the excruciating pain, so they could only groan helplessly.As Shanks made his way upstairs, he paused halfway up the staircase and asked, “Is Luca cooking?”Gerald glanced at the kitchen and replied, “Yes, Mr. Shanks. It’s their fault. Ms. Craw was delayed in making dinner because of them.”Shanks' expression remained unchanged as he simply said, “Let me know when it's ready.”“Yes,” answered Gerald.After Shanks went upstairs, Gerald hesitated for a moment but decided to help the men to their feet, placing them one by one on the couch or chairs. As they slouched, groaning in pain, Gerald shook his head. “Do you guys now understand what happens when you mess with the wrong woman, especially Ms. Craw?”One of the men winced and asked, “Why did she have to be so brutal when throwing down?”“She
