Chapter 2173 This Was Between The Adults

Author: Heap Heap
Jason noticed Luke's gloomy expression. He was sure Luca had something to do with it.

“What are you doing?” Luke’s face darkened, and he asked Jason when he did not hear his report.

Jason immediately came back to his senses. He put on a serious expression and reported to Luke about the progress of the acquisition.

Another American-owned company was planning to purchase Brown's company at the same time. That was why they were hardly making any progress with the acquisition. Luke frowned and asked when he heard Jason reporting to him, "It's too slow."

The words were sonorous and powerful. Jason could deeply feel Luke’s dissatisfaction.

Then, Jason explained, "It has become even more difficult to acquire the company as other American-owned companies are joining in. That's why the progress slowed down a little…"

Luke looked up and shifted his gaze to Jason. He looked at him with his cold, dark eyes.

Jason understood what he meant. This was not about the slow progress. It was Lu

    Luca got out of the car after she parked the car. She closed the door quietly so that she would not wake Rainie up. Luca walked past the front of the car and opened the passenger seat’s door. She unfastened Rainie’s seat belt and pulled the jacket up as it had slid down Rainie’s body. Then, she carried Rainie in her arms. Even though Rainie was skinny, she was heavy. However, Luca managed to carry Rainie in her arms and walk into the villa without much effort.Aunt Neile was surprised to see Luca carrying Rainie back in her arms. Luca shook her head when she was about to speak, so Aunt Neile immediately shut her mouth. Luca carried Rainie up the stairs. Aunt Neile followed behind closely, worried that Luca could not carry the child. After all, Rainie was already a ten-year-old child, while Luca looked so skinny. What if Luca could not carry the child all the way to her bedroom?However, Luca carried Rainie in her arms and made her way up the stairs steadily. It showed that

    Luca and Rainie were baking cookies in the kitchen, while Aunt Neile was tidying up the living room.The villa's telephone rang. Aunt Neile answered the call with a puzzled look on her face. After all, people nowadays used smartphones, and there was hardly anyone who would call the villa's landline number. The telephone was basically a decoration in the house. Besides, it was the first time the telephone rang after she started working here. "Hello, this is theCrawford family." Aunt Neile picked up the receiver. “Is Luca there?” Luke’s voice came from the other end of the line. Aunt Neile was startled for a moment, and she replied, “Mr. Crawford? You're looking for Ms. Craw, right?”“Is she in the villa?” Luke asked. "Yes. Ms. Craw is in the kitchen. She's baking cookies with Ms. Rainie. Do you need me to inform her to pick up your call?" Aunt Neile asked.“Never mind. If she’s at the villa, then it’s fine,” said Luke. He called Luca after the meeting ended, but no one was an

    “Not many. Lanie, you should try.” Tommy was worried Lanie would not allow him to eat the cookies, so he moved the plate toward him. Lanie turned to look at Luca helplessly. Luca could feel Lanie’s gaze on her. She seemed to understand what he meant. It was like Lanie was telling her, ‘Look at your greedy little son…’Luca cleared her throat and said, “Lanie, take a few of them. Leave the rest for tonight.” Lanie nodded and took three pieces of cookies.Tommy was looking at them eagerly and asked, “Ms. Luca, can I take some too?” Luca looked at the cookie crumbs on the corner of Tommy’s lips, and the eager look on his face. It softened her heart. She glanced at the plate, and she briefly knew how many cookies Tommy had eaten. If Tommy continued to eat the cookies, he would not be able to have dinner later, or he might be stuffed. “Ms. Luca…” Tommy tried to act cute again when he saw Luca not saying anything. He wanted to win another chance to eat more cookies. Luca th

    The expression on Luca's face was stern. She would agree to help Nina to improve her health so she could get pregnant if she was married and Percy and Nina wanted a baby. However, it was not the right time to do so now. “Nina, it’s not necessary to get the Mallory family’s permission if Mr. Mallory wants to marry you. You can get married abroad, then come back to sign the marriage license. Your marriage will still be legalized here. It’s the same,” said Luca.Getting married in A City would require a household registration permit. It might be difficult to get married if either side of the family disapproved of the marriage. However, it was different in countries abroad. Any couple could be legally married as long as the two of them had their passports and related documents."I know. I know that." Nina let out a sigh. "But I don’t want to see Percy be caught in the middle between me and his family. Luca, they're his family members. If they disagree with us getting married but he

    Aunt Neile said, “It was rare to see you sleep in today. That’s why I didn’t wake you up. I didn’t expect you’d look so tired.”“I’ll be fine after drinking a cup of coffee,” Luca ate a mouthful of oatmeal. She thought she needed a cup of warm coffee to perk herself up a little.“Let me get you some coffee,” replied Aunt Neile as she walked into the kitchen.The kids finished eating their breakfast. Tommy glanced at the time and said to Luca, “Ms. Luca, we’re heading to school first.” “Okay. Be good and listen to your teacher,” replied Luca. Usually, it was Uncle Zander who picked the kids up and sent them to school. When Luca was making her way down the stairs, she glanced outside the villa and saw Uncle Zander’s car already outside and waiting for the kids. “Ms. Luca, see you later.” Rainie waved her hand at Luca and walked out of the dining room.Luca was watching the kids as they left and disappeared at the entrance of the dining room. Only then did she shift her gaze and c

    Luca let out a sigh helplessly. Nina was so close to living a happy life, but someone stabbed her in the back at this time. Sue added, “I’m afraid that she might overthink now. After all, her past is her deepest wound. It’s cruel for someone to use this against her. That’s…”Sue felt helpless and angry at the same time. There were no words that could describe how upset she was.Luca did not know what to say either. Although Percy protected Nina well, after their conversation last night, Luca could sense that Nina was still sensitive. She would still feel worried and insecure. Now, such awful things had happened to her. “Luca, is there anything we can do for her?” Sue was overwhelmed.“Let’s show more concern for Nina. There’s nothing we can do about the reporters. Things aren’t as simple as they are. The reporters are looking for her now…” replied Luca. She knew what kind of people the Mallory family was. They were probably annoyed after getting exposed this time, thinking t

    Luca was doing experiments in the study the entire time. The kids did not come upstairs to disturb her either. Only when the alarm rang did Luca stop doing her experiment. She disinfected her hands and walked out of the study.Luca ran into the kids when they were making their way upstairs. “Ms. Luca, have you finished your work?” Tommy smiled cheerfully and came forward to hug her.Luca stroked Tommy's head and looked at Lanie and Rainie, "Come on. Go clean yourself up. It's time for bed." “Okay, Ms. Luca,” the three kids replied at the same time. Luca returned to her bedroom. She got herself cleaned up at the same time as the kids did so. Then, she tucked the kids into bed.Her phone rang when she was about to do some reading before heading to bed. Could it be Luke?Luca could not suppress the quiver in her heart. She picked up her phone and looked at it. It was Nina who called. She quickly answered the call and said, “Nina, what’s wrong?”Luca had a feeling that som

    “Most of what the news articles wrote about me are true.” Nina took a deep breath as she was not afraid that Luca would know about her past.It was because she knew Luca would not do anything to hurt her even if she knew everything. “Mr. Mallory should already know about your past. He’s not making a fuss out because of the news articles, right?” said Luca. Percy knew Nina well, just like her.“No, he’s not. He’s been busy handling the matter the whole day. It’s still a hot topic on the internet, and it’s not because he’s not doing anything to stop it. He’s planning to find out who was the one to expose the information to the reporters and proceed with the next step.” A bitter smile swept across Nina’s smile. She agreed with Percy’s way of handling the matter. After all, only a few knew about Nina’s past. They should be able to find out who was the mastermind behind all these soon if they were to look into it. After that, they would implement the next plan. That would be the best.

    If Shanks’ prescription could help Hera sleep earlier, that would not be a bad thing.“Then I need to be treat…” Hera paused for a moment, realizing she could not say the word treatment. That would imply she was sick, and she could not let people know that. Instead, she corrected herself and asked, “How long will I need to take this herbal medicine?”“You can stop when your test results are back to normal,” replied Luca as she picked up the medical waste and headed out of the room.Gerald followed closely behind and asked with curiosity, “Ms. Craw, how long is that?”“How long is a standard treatment cycle?” Luca asked in return.Gerald pondered for a moment. “Usually about a month?”“The average endocrine cycle for women is three months, so the minimum duration for proper regulation is three months,” explained Luca.Although Abel could take action at any time, there was no way Hera could endure three full months of treatment. However, until Abel made his move, she would have

    Luca’s head was slightly tilted, her cheek burning with pain.Abel had not held back at all. The force of his slap was merciless. A numbness spread across her face at an alarming speed.From the next room, someone peeked out again and asked in a low voice, “You okay?”“I’m fine.” Luca’s expression remained calm. This kind of injury was nothing to her.Back on the Island of Despair, she had endured far worse during training. She survived, did she not?Without another word, Luca pushed open the lab door and stepped inside.The man watching shook his head. Her face was already that swollen, and she still said she was fine… What a tough woman. She took a slap that hard and brushed it off like it was nothing.Shanks lifted his head when he heard the door open. When he saw it was Luca and noticed how swollen the side of her face was, his brows furrowed.“Abel did this?”“Who else?” Luca let out a bitter laugh, only to wince as the movement tugged at the pain. She sucked in a sharp b

    “No.” Shanks’ tone was cold and firm with no trace of hesitation.Abel still looked doubtful.Shanks added, “Would you like to see her medical report?”Abel was startled for a moment. How did Shanks know he had been thinking about that report?Now that Shanks brought it up, the idea lost its appeal.Abel shook his head. “Even if you showed it to me, I wouldn’t understand it. Shanks, Kassy’s life is in your hands. If you can give her a second chance, I’ll provide as much research funding as you need."Shanks remained silent. He could save Kassy. In fact, his research had always been for Kassy.However, he did not expect Abel to be so ruthless as to insist on using a living person as a donor for Kassy. That was something he could not accept.Kassy’s condition could be treated with organs from a brain-dead patient. Why destroy a perfectly healthy life?Shanks was not acting out of mercy. He simply refused to go against his medical ethics.He was not someone who had to save lives

    “You don’t need to remind me. I was going to check anyway.” Abel shot Luca a chilling look.She took a step back and stayed silent.Abel turned to the pale-faced Hera and said, “If you’ve got low blood sugar, get up and eat something.”“I’ll eat now,” Hera replied, sitting up.Luca handed her the takeout.Abel glanced at the food and then frowned at Luca. “Why didn’t you make breakfast this morning?”“I was busy,” Luca explained with a calm indifference, her expression unwavering. She showed no fear, even under Abel’s questioning.Hera suddenly found herself admiring Luca. Everyone feared this man, yet Luca remained composed even when facing potential punishment. Not just anyone could pull that off.At the thought of this, Hera opened the takeout and kept quiet.Abel narrowed his eyes, glancing between Hera and Luca. His gaze was not exactly gentle as he muttered, “Stop eating this junk. It’s bad for you.”“I know, babe. Just this once. After this, I’ll have what Luca cooks f

    Hera panicked the moment she heard that. “I trust her!”Luca and Shanks were both watching her.Hera repeated herself, saying, “I trust her, okay? What kind of treatment does she need? I’ll cooperate with anything. But what about Abel…”“I’ll tell him it’s just to help improve your overall health,” replied Shanks. Then, he turned around, opened the medicine cabinet, and started preparing the prescription.Hera let out a sigh of relief. As long as Abel did not find out about her health condition, that was all that mattered.If he knew she was unwell, he would send her back to A City. Without free medical help and no way to make extra money, she would be in serious trouble.“Thank you,” said Hera.“Wait outside,” instructed Shanks.“Okay.” Hera carefully stepped out.Luca, however, remained where she was, waiting.While preparing the medicine, Shanks asked, “Do you know which acupoints to target for her?”“Yes,” Luca replied confidently. As long as she checked Hera’s pulse, sh

    “There are a lot of issues.” Luca did not hide anything and handed Hera the phone.Hera looked at it and frowned.“I can't understand any of this.” Hera felt dizzy just looking at the text, let alone the long list of medical terms. It was giving her a headache.“Look at these summaries and indicators. Compare the values on top with the normal values at the bottom, and you'll see what I mean,” explained Luca.Hera did not trust her. Therefore, Luca decided to let her see for herself. Seeing it with her own eyes would prevent any doubts later.Luca pointed out how to read the test results, and after a moment, Hera managed to understand the report. Her face turned pale. “How can there be so many problems?”She looked at Luca and questioned, “Did you fake this?”“I don’t have the power to make the medical center fake anything. Besides, the report has the medical center’s official stamp. If you don’t believe me, you can go directly to the medical center and ask for the official cop

    “I heard from the boss that he's coming because of Vivian.” Gale paused for a moment before adding, “But never mind, you don't seem interested in her affairs anyway. I'm just letting you know he's on his way.”Gordan frowned. Ray was coming for Vivian?What could that ugly woman possibly need?“What do you mean by that?” asked Gordan.Gale smirked. “If you and Ray meet, that’s bound to end in a fight. And since you can't win against him, you might want to mentally prepare yourself, or better yet, find somewhere else to stay. It’d be safer that way.”Gordan's expression darkened. “If you have nothing nice to say, just zip it.”Gale grinned, clearly pleased with himself like he had just hit a sore spot.Gordan exhaled sharply. “Of all times, why is he coming to A City now? He’s just making things worse.”“It can't be helped. Vivian's situation is urgent.” Gale covered his mouth mockingly after he said that. “Oh, right. I forgot you don’t like hearing about her.”Ray wanted to br

    Luke sat in the villa, staring at Luca’s message.He was worried.For a moment, he considered calling her, but then he remembered that there were surveillance cameras everywhere on her side. He dismissed the idea immediately.Her safety came first.Luke reminded her: [Take care of yourself. Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything. Just focus on keeping yourself safe.] The worry in his heart refused to subside, but at this moment, there was no better solution.“Boss, you’re worried about your wife, huh? If you really can’t stand it, we can sneak you in again during the next shift change, just like last time,” said Gale.It had been his idea last time.Now, the real Lucius was still locked up in the basement of the villa.It had been nearly a month. Luke had forced him to take the antidote Luca had recreated. The man was still alive, proving the antidote worked perfectly.“That plan is too risky.” Luke put his phone away. His gaze was dark and thoughtful.“Risky, sure. But at lea

    Luca had not expected Abel and Shanks’ relationship to be like this.It seemed Abel still did not trust Shanks.Shanks continued, “Abel isn’t someone who trusts people easily. He doesn’t trust anyone. You think he’s devoted to Kassy now, right? That’s just his obsession. He's allowing Kassy to receive my treatment, but if it were him… No matter if he were blind or crippled, his safety would always come first. If he were seriously injured, maybe he’d accept treatment, but he definitely wouldn’t do it right away.”Luca stayed silent. Shanks really understood Abel well.Abel did not trust anyone—not even Kassy.Calling him paranoid would not be an exaggeration.Luca felt like they were getting off-topic, but she had never seen this side of Shanks before.In her mind, he was always buried in his work at the lab, only leaving for meals and sleep. Other than that, he was practically never outside.The lab was like his home…“Are you troubled by Hera’s situation?” Luca asked directly
