The maid left work after waiting for him to finish his bath.Luke continued to sit in front of the office table and was settling his documents. The maid’s room was not closed because he wanted to hear even the smallest sound from outside. However, Luca never came back…Only when it was one in the morning did he hear some noises from outside. It was the sound of a door opening and closing…Even though it was intentionally done so that there would not be much noise, Luke still heard it. ‘Luca only came back now…’Luke had a dark expression but did not go out. 'Is she that busy?'Hearing the sound in the living room made Luke place his documents down. He sat there, not moving an inch.Luca switched on the lights in the living room and noticed that the lights in the maid’s room were still on…She frowned. She could see that the lights were on because he did not close the door. However, Luke usually closed the door.Luca changed her shoes and thought for a moment but did not c
The needles Luca used were all specially made on the Island of Despair.She did not bring too many needles with her, and the effects of the needles were not significant. Hence, she had Dr. Wood use the needles from the hospital instead.Dr. Wood sanitized his hands, then put on sterile gloves.Tyrone knew that this time, it would be Dr. Wood who would take over the treatment. From the previous treatment, he also got to know through their conversation that Luca's method of dry needling was different from the standard. Hence, it would be Dr. Wood's first time adopting the method.He was a little scared."Doctor, Please take it slow. I'm scared of pain…" said Tyrone while closing his eyes."Don't worry. I've practiced the method many times, so it won’t go wrong. Besides, Dr. Craw is here to supervise. Don't worry." Dr. Wood comforted him. He had watched the video many times and even tried it hands-on as well. He had some confidence."Let's get started." Luca did not speak much to
Amur did not know of any doctors. He would not be able to help out regarding this issue.“Alright. Then, please be careful along the way,” he said.Luca wore her coat and reminded, “Oh right, keep the research lab for now. I’ll inform the owner that I won’t be renting it anymore after one month.” “You still want to continue researching?” Amur asked.“Yes.” Luca nodded. The composition of the antidote had yet to be fully analyzed.It had been quite some time and she had yet to fully analyze it. Apart from the reason being that the equipment she had was not advanced enough, there was another reason. The composition of the antidote was very complicated.She would need the help of advanced equipment.“Alright. You can hold on to the access card. I’ll get it from you on the last day,” said Amur. One month later when they decided to stop renting the lab, the access card would have to be returned to the owner of the research lab.“Alright.” Luca carried her bag and left the scene.S
Nina? Sue? He had not heard that either one of them was sick. Was it Amur? However, that was impossible as well. If it were Armur, she would have said it was her younger brother and not a friend. Perhaps it was Luca herself… Johann pouted and negotiated with Luke, saying, "I helped you by asking questions. Even though I didn’t get valuable information, at least we know that she wants this antibiotic for her friend. Look, I don't wish for an entire rack of wine. Half a rack will do. You’ll give it to me, right?” "What if she was lying to you? Do you think that statement of hers is worth half a rack of alcohol?" Luke said. He suspected that Luca had just come up with an excuse to keep Johann quiet.Johann was speechless at what Luke said. He said helplessly, "You don't have to be this snarky…""Then do me a favor and get some valuable information," Luke said before hanging up.He looked at the time. It would take about half an hour to reach the hospital from where he was. 'I thi
Luca placed the pajamas down.When she was about to sleep, there was a video call request. Luca picked it up and saw a bunch of numbers. 'Abel?'She immediately got rid of that thought. Whenever Abel had some issues, he would either message her or call her. He would not send a request for a video call. That was because he did not wish for Luke to know that they knew each other.Luca thought of someone and immediately answered the call.Indeed, Nyla's cute face appeared on her phone screen."Mommy!" The moment she saw Luca, Nyla immediately got closer to the screen. "Mommy, Mommy, is it really you?""It's me." The instant Luca saw her daughter, her eyes were filled with tears.Nyla missed Luca a lot and inched her face closer to the screen. Luca was almost unable to see Nyla's cute face. Hence, she reminded, "Dear, go back a little. Let Mommy have a better view of you."Nyla agreed and backed away obediently. "Can you see me clearly now, Mommy?""Yes. Oh, my Nyla, you must ha
Daughters tended to look like their fathers, while sons tended to look like their mothers. This statement proved to be true for Lanie and Rainie. It was the same for both Tommy and Nyla.The more Tommy grew up, the more he looked like Luca’s past self. As for Nyla, she was starting to look like Luke.Fortunately, she did not have a family on the Island of Despair.Hence, since young, Nyla never had an impression of her father and never questioned who her father was.Luca turned around. The issue about her wound had been settled. Initially, she could sleep well, but because she missed her daughter so much, she was unable to sleep…She kept thinking and finally sat up. She took out the sleeping pills from the drawer, and after taking one pill, she went to sleep.The effect of the medication kicked in fast. Despite feeling depressed, she still fell asleep.When she woke up, it was already daytime.Luca looked at the time. She was used to waking up early even without an alarm. Afte
Luca took out all of the luggage from the boot.Zander saw there were so many things, and Luke was sitting in a wheelchair. With so many things, Luca would not be able to carry them all by herself. He said, "Sir, Ms. Luca, I'm not allowed to park the car here. You guys can wait for me here. Wait till I've parked the car, then I’ll come over to help carry your luggage.""No thanks." Luke rejected. "You may go back as there’ll be someone coming over to help us out.""Oh, alright. Then I shall return for now, sir. Old Master has already invited Old Man Rayne for a game of chess. I have to return to fetch him," Zander said and got into the car.'Old Man Rayne?'Luca looked at Luke.He was able to see through her puzzled expression. "He's Wanda's father."'He’s also your grandfather.' He added deep in his heart."Oh." Luca did not expect Old Master Crawford to go over to have a game of chess with her grandfather. The last time she headed over, he even said that it had been quite som
Luca stood beside and looked at Pierre's smile while feeling uncomfortable deep within her.'That smile of his… One look at it and I know he's up to something. The attitude of this man toward Luke is very clear to everyone.It was as though Pierre was directly telling everyone that he was going against Luke. Even so, he was sneaky in doing things.Luca frowned slightly and thought to herself, 'Pierre has done so many bad things behind our back, but before he gain benefits from all of that, he was stopped by Old Master Mallory.'But how did he seize the opportunity for this project in Russia?'Jason, who was at the side, said, "Mr. Mallory, I didn’t hear about your company preparing the bidding document before this. How did you suddenly manage to prepare one?""Actually, I’ve been preparing it all this while. However, my company is small, not like T Corporation. Hence, when we decided to participate, we didn't announce it to the public. Why? You got a problem with it?" Pierre ca
