Luca nodded as she no longer felt anxious.After all, the signing of the contract was a done deal. Luca pushed Luke out of the suite. Jason and the others were already waiting for them downstairs in the hotel lobby. There were two cars parked at the hotel entrance. Mr. Zac and the other employees climbed into another car, while Jason helped Luke to get into the backseat of the Rolls-Royce. Luca got into the car too.The backseat of the car was spacious. Luca sat by the window and looked at the snow outside the window. Suddenly, Luke asked, "How's your wound?" "It's still healing. The stitches can be removed in two days," Luca said in a soft voice. She had been dressing her wound often this time and taking medicine. Her wound was able to heal quickly with the help of the medicine. "That fast?" Luke frowned. He remembered that her wound was a mass of bleeding flesh, and there was even some rotten flesh. The doctor at the hospital had debrided and sutured her wound. He told Lu
Not only was Luke alive and well, but those who were protecting him were not injured either!Pierre refused to believe that. Abel’s subordinates had carried guns, but no one on Luke’s side was injured. Were they blind?Pierre suspected that Abel deliberately chose some worthless men to carry out the mission this time. Even though the mission failed, Abel had gotten his money. Abel did not lose anything. Pierre could not calm himself down at the thought of this. He picked up his phone and called the string of numbers. The call was answered, and Pierre said, “I’m looking for Abel.”A woman’s voice came from the other end of the line. “We don’t have anyone called Abel here. You must have called the wrong number, right?”Pierre hung up the call and verified the numbers on the name card. He did not get it wrong, so he thought they must have gotten on the wrong line. Hence, he called again. It was the woman's voice again. "Hello?"Pierre suddenly realized that he could never get
Pierre was good at fighting, but Percy’s subordinates were good too. It seemed a little difficult for him to fight against two men.Percy leaned against the door and watched them, still not planning to interfere.Five minutes later, Pierre was breathless and exhausted. One of the bodyguards quickly covered Pierre’s nose with the towel while he was not paying attention.Pierre quickly came to his senses and struggled. However, before he could get away, his arms and legs were grabbed by the other bodyguard.He knew he was about to lose his consciousness. He struggled to look in the direction of the door. There was hatred in his eyes. Percy knew that his younger brother was a vindictive person.He would surely bear a grudge against Percy for how he treated him this time. Percy looked at Pierre, who was losing his consciousness. He sneered and said, “Bring him to the wharf.” Percy was planning to travel back by plane at first, but since Pierre refused to cooperate with him, he h
After they reached the hospital, Luca watched Luke take her medical records out of his briefcase. Luca knew he did not suggest she do a medical check-up out of the blue. Luke had already decided on behalf of her without getting her permission. Even if she refused to go, Luke would do whatever it took to send her to the hospital. Luca followed the nurse and headed to the examination room after they handled the formalities and paid the fees. Luke watched the curtains of the examination room get drawn. Then, he glanced at Jason and asked, “How long has the plaster cast been on my leg?”Jason was startled by the question. He counted on his fingers and answered, "Two more days until it’s a month.” Luke nodded and said to him, “I’d like to remove the cast now. Arrange it for me.” Jason nodded and replied, “Alright, Boss. Please wait for a while.”Jason trotted off to arrange it immediately. Removing the plaster cast was not something difficult, so after Jason communicated with
She had not heard anything from the kids…Luca knew the kids were worried that they might disturb her while she was working. That was why they did not send her any messages. She assumed that Luke had probably given them a reminder.Although Luca missed the kids, she did not disturb them. After all, the kids were getting ready to sleep at this hour. Luca read the previous messages between her and Tommy. She could not help but smile. It was a happy and blissful smile with a hint of bitterness. …On the other hand.Luke arrived at Ray’s villa. He did not ask the driver to drive him into the villa as the house was heavily guarded. Instead, he chose to get out of the car and asked the driver to return to the hotel. Then, he walked into the villa. Ray knew Luke had arrived, so he quickly sent Hansen to welcome him.Hansen received the order and drove his car out. He saw Luke was traveling on foot. Hansen could not help but feel impressed. The security system was upgraded once mo
“Yes. It has recovered.” Luke noticed that Vivian’s condition was much better compared to a few days ago.“Brother Luke, stay for dinner. I’ve just learned to cook two Western dishes. Why don’t you taste them for me and rate them?” Vivian invited him."Sorry, maybe some other time," Luke recalled that Luca was still in the hotel. He did not know if she would have her meals on time if he was not there.Although Luca did not show it on her face, Luke still noticed that something was wrong with her emotions. He thought that it must be related to the Island of Despair. Vivian did not say a word. Ray’s subordinate came up from the basement and headed to the living room. He reported to Ray helplessly, “Boss, that man still refuses to talk.” It was just as Ray expected. “Take turns to interrogate him. Don’t let him sleep. Let’s see how long he can last.” Ray gave his orders. Hansen clenched his fists and said aggressively, “Let me do it this time. I’ll teach him a lesson if he
“Alright, Boss,” the two bodyguards replied at the same time without taking it seriously.They had been interrogating this man for days, and he was still reluctant to open his mouth. Would he talk with just a pinch from Vivian? It was nearly impossible.Ray looked at Luke and assumed that he had something to ask the man. Then, he said, “Perhaps we should wait outside?”“There’s no need.” Luke took a step forward and looked at the man with his head down. The man must be fatigued after being questioned for the past few days. He should be in a state of mental and physical exhaustion. However, he refused to say anything even though he was exhausted. It seemed like the Island of Despair must have something on him. Otherwise, he would not have asked them to kill him.There might be another reason behind this. He failed his mission, and there was no way he could stay alive even if he told them everything. This was what Gale and Rain had told him before. Before they left the Island of
After failing to retreat, his men and weapons were all taken away on the spot. Although Abel had received three million dollars from Pierre, the amount of money spent on the weapons was enough to break his heart. Abel had put in so much effort to get those firearms, but four of them fell into the police’s hands…That would mean that not only did the mission not earn him anything, but he even lost a few men…It got on Abel’s nerves when he found out about it. He sent someone to investigate the matter. They brought back the news that someone had tipped Luke off, and the one who tipped him off was Luca. Hence, he got out of the Island of Despair and came looking for Luca to settle the accounts. “You didn’t send people to assassinate Luke and end his life, right? Did you take someone’s money? You weren’t planning to let him fall into your hands that easily.” Luca did not explain herself and questioned him instead. Abel narrowed his eyes and replied, "So what? What difference do
