Chapter 3237 Stalling For Time

Author: Heap Heap
Luca noticed a change in Pierre's expression.

She reckoned that they had already found something out, so she said, “It looks like you found something. I think you'd better let us go.”

“No!” Karen's tone was assertive. “No matter what, you have to perform dry needling on Pierre today.”

Luca frowned in silence.

Pierre set his phone aside. A mocking gleam flashed across his eyes. “Yeah, you’ll be performing dry needling on me today, no matter what.”

He did not plan on having Luca perform dry needling on him for the long term. The room was filled with surveillance cameras.

As long as he got one more session from her, another naturopathic physician could learn from the footage afterward.

This was the plan Pierre and Karen came up with.

They could not afford to offend Luke’s people, but if they had to, they would do it once and then send Luca back unharmed.

“Anyway, if you don't help me with the dry needling, I'll be useless. The Mallory family doesn't need useless trash. But thi

    Karen felt sorry for her son, but when she heard Luca say she could stop anytime, she dared not tell her to stop. If they stopped now, everything they did today would have been for nothing!Karen looked at Pierre, planning to let him make the decision himself.Pierre clenched his teeth and said, “Keep going.”Luca could not help but secretly exclaim. It was not that Pierre could not endure the pain. If enduring the pain meant he could stand up normally again, he would endure as much as it took.She continued with the dry needling treatment without giving him a moment to catch his breath. Pierre felt like cursing, but when he saw the serious expression on Luca's face, he held back.The dry needling treatment lasted for half an hour. Luca used two packs of needles before stopping. “Alright, now we wait.”“Wait for what?” Karen immediately asked.“Wait for half an hour to remove the needles and for the damaged nerves inside to repair themselves,” explained Luca.Karen immediat

    After watching the footage, Dr. Schwartz finally realized what Karen meant by different.The dry needling technique in the video was completely different from what he had learned. The air conditioning in the room was just right, but Dr. Schwartz was sweating bullets.He had a contract with Karen. The contract required him to learn the dry needling technique in the footage and use it to treat Pierre. However, he had no idea how to perform this strange new method.His assistant glanced at him and said in a low voice, “Professor, we've never seen this dry needling technique before. What should we do?”Dr. Schwartz wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Is this some new type of dry needling technique?”“It shouldn't be. I've read tons of literature, and none of it mentions a new dry needling technique coming out of A City. What do we do now?” Even though Dr. Schwartz’s assistant's medical skills were not as advanced as his, she knew that this technique would be hard for them to lea

    “I think you misunderstood me. If I wanted to leave, I could've done it anytime.” Luca rose to her feet. She had not left earlier because there were thugs downstairs, and taking Vivian with her might have resulted in injuries.Luca was not afraid. She just did not want to get hurt.If either she or Vivian got injured because of this kidnapping, it would be a mess to deal with.“You!” Before Karen could finish her sentence, a sharp pain shot through her hand, causing her to drop the knife.She looked down and saw a thin needle sticking out of her wrist.“What's this?” Karen screamed and realized that the needle looked familiar.It looked like the ones that were used for Pierre’s dry needling treatment.Karen glared at Luca furiously. Luca had already pulled Vivian behind her. “It's just a needle. Pull it out, and you'll be fine. Madam Mallory, I'm done playing games with you. I'm definitely going to press charges for today's kidnapping. As for Mr. Pierre, he'd better take care of

    Luca looked a bit awkward. “Mr. Norton…”Vivian's expression changed too. She felt wronged inside but showed anger on the outside.Was Gordan for real? He was always criticizing her. Even though Luca got kidnapped because of her, Vivian did not want it to happen either. What a petty guy!“I’m not wrong, am I, Dr. Craw? With your skills, taking down those punks would've been easy. If you didn’t have to worry about someone, you wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped, right?” added Gordan. He gave a pointed look at Vivian.Vivian's face turned red then pale.Luca let out a sigh and replied, “Enough, Mr. Norton. The one at fault here is Madam Mallory, not anyone else. You should cut down on smoking. It's getting late, and we need to go.”“Why do you care about him?” Vivian grabbed Luca’s hand. “A leopard doesn’t change its spots. Don’t expect him to!”Gordan's expression darkened.Vivian sure was something. Her words were getting harsher each time. She was even mastering some of the

    “Thank you, Dr. Linwood.” Luca could see that the old man did not care about others' opinions. She did not press the issue further.Knowing she did not need to make up the class, Luca excused herself, claiming she had other matters to attend to. She left the office and asked Warren to drive her home.When she got home, it was still early, and the kids had not come back from school yet. Luca sat on the couch and sent Luke a message.Luca: [How do you plan to handle Karen?] Luke: [We can't go to the police. We'll have to handle it another way.] Luca understood what he meant by "another way."Luca: [Handle it as you see fit. With Nina and Mr. Mallory's wedding coming up, it's not a good time to make a big deal out of this.]Luke: [Got it. I have another meeting. We'll talk more when I get home.] Luca: [Okay.]Then, she put her phone down. She pondered for a moment and decided to continue her research in the study. Just as she stood up, the doorbell rang.Aunt Neile went

    Nina nodded. She said, “Yes, I need to wear it, but it's just so heavy. That's why I was thinking of getting some high-quality fakes. It's lighter, and most people wouldn’t be able to tell.”Luca let out a chuckle.“I get it now. You and Percy are on the same team, both thinking I should wear the real stuff, huh?”“For the sake of Mr. Mallory’s reputation and for your own sake, just bear with it. What kind of CEO’s wife wears fakes at her wedding? Even if no one says anything at the event, someone will notice. "Think about it. Mr. Mallory's guests and the reporters surely know a thing or two about jewelry. They’ll definitely catch on if you wear fakes,” Luca said.The power of the press was limitless. If they found out Nina was wearing fake jewelry, it would be all over the news.Nina nodded. “He said the same thing. That’s why I gave in. But I tried on the whole set, and it felt like a ton of bricks around my neck.”Then, she continued with a sigh, “And I have to wear it all

    Nina pinched Tommy's chubby cheeks. “So, you're only worried about whether I'll come just because you want to make Luca happy?”Tommy laughed and shook his head. “Of course not. We like you too, Ms. Nina!”“Yes, we like Ms. Nina,” Rainie chimed in.“Aww, I trust Rainie more. Tommy, I don't believe you anymore” Nina teased him.“Ms. Nina, I'm being sincere! We all really like you!” Tommy quickly responded with a big smile.Nina laughed and played along with the kids.…Meanwhile, upstairs, Luke and Percy were discussing business.However, they were not talking about Pierre and Karen. They were discussing the upcoming bid.The government had already announced that the bidding would take place next week.After going over the remaining details and confirming there were no issues with the bid proposal, Percy asked, “How do you plan to deal with them?”“They're your mother and brother,” Luke reminded him helplessly. The simplest solution would be to send Pierre and Karen to the po

    After Tommy lay down and covered himself with the blanket, he looked at Luke at the door and said, “Goodnight, Dad.”“Goodnight. Sleep well,” replied Luke, closing the bedroom door behind him.His phone buzzed. He glanced at it but did not return to the master bedroom. Instead, he headed to the other room and made a couple of phone calls.Once everything was sorted, Luke went back to the master bedroom.Luca was already sitting up in bed, holding a tablet.“Is the child asleep?” asked Luca. She looked up, assuming Luke had been putting Tommy to bed.“Yeah, he's asleep,” answered Luke, getting into bed and sitting next to her. He glanced at the screen filled with dense text and asked, “Looking at more research?”“Yeah.” Luca nodded. “Every study needs data to back it up. Look at this herb. It's poisonous but also has properties that can regenerate flesh.”She pointed at the document to show him.“I’ve been wondering why Shanks would use these herbs for research. Is he trying to

    “As long as he stays out of your sight, I won’t make a move,” said Ray.If Gordan were not one of Luke’s pals, he would have been long gone.Anyone who dared to mess with someone Ray cherished would not be let off easily. The only reason Gordan was still breathing was thanks to Luke.“Alright, Ray. Just let it go. I’ve moved on and started a new life. Plus, I’m studying at Capital University. We have mutual friends, so running into him is inevitable. If that happens, we’ll just be strangers. There’s no need to step in for me or act impulsively.” Just as Vivian finished speaking, the doorbell rang.“Is it the clothes delivery?” asked Ray.“No, while you were talking with Mr. Crawford, I asked someone to buy some medicinal cream. The ones here work better than the ones in Russia. A little massage with it should help you heal faster,” Vivian said, grabbing a mask and hat before heading to the door.“Miss, is the boss alright?” asked one of Ray’s subordinates.“He’s fine. Did you ge

    When Ray heard that there was a 90% chance of success, he could not help but ask, “Can you walk me through your plan?”“The prison where Kassy is being held actually has an underground passage. I’ve already spoken with the prison officials, and we can use that passage to transport her out. It connects to the sewage system, which leads directly to another detention facility. "The only catch is that this facility’s underground pipes don’t connect to the outside world, so the remaining 10% risk lies in moving Kassy onto the main road and securing her at the new location.“This whole operation can be done without anyone noticing, which is why I’m confident it’ll work.” As Luke explained, he pulled out a detailed map of the sewer system. “Here’s the layout I had someone retrieve. This is the starting point, and this is the destination. If we take this route, we can move Kassy without alerting Abel’s people.”Abel’s men were keeping a constant watch outside the prison now. That was prec

    Luke had no idea what kind of mindset the person who poisoned Vivian had. However, he found Gordan’s current behavior quite intriguing.“Luke, what’s with that look?” Gordan felt uneasy under his gaze.“You seem pretty concerned about Vivian,” Luke leaned back on the couch and said thoughtfully.Gordan froze for a moment before laughing it off. “What? No way! Why would I care about her? Come on, Luke, don’t say stuff like that. If she hears it, she might start getting ideas.”Luke could not be bothered to expose his act and got straight to the point. “Why are you here?”“Speaking of that, I almost got sidetracked by that woman.” Gordan quickly pulled out his phone, grimacing. “Man, Ray really didn’t hold back. I need to get some treatment for these bruises later.”Luke took the phone and tried to unlock it. It needed a passcode. He handed it back. “Unlock it.”“All set, boss.” Gordan unlocked the phone and went back to pressing an ice pack against his face.Luke scanned the scr

    It was the sound of a body slamming onto the ground.Gordan’s furious curses rang out. “Damn it! You're really going all out, huh? Do you think I'm scared of you?”Another loud thud followed.Vivian frowned. What the hell were they doing? Were they really going to fight until one of them won?Both of them were skilled fighters. If they kept this up, neither would walk away unscathed.“Enough!” shouted Vivian.The two men locked in the fight froze for a moment.“Vivian, stay out of this. I’m beating him to a pulp today,” growled Ray, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was not in great shape, but neither was Gordan.“Ray, I don’t want to see him,” said Vivian. She did not want Ray fighting him. It was not to protect Gordan but because she did not want Ray getting hurt.Also, she definitely did not want Gordan to see her like this. She could already picture his smug face, his sarcastic remarks and his gloating.“Fine. If you don’t want to see him, I’ll just beat

    After returning to the hotel from the hospital, Vivian felt much better.To her, the fact that Ray had taken her to the hospital meant there was hope for the future, which lifted her spirits. She picked up an apple from the fruit platter the hotel had provided and took a bite.“Ray, this apple is really good. Want to try one?” asked Vivian.Ray shook his head. “You go ahead. By the way, can I take a look at the luggage you brought from Russia?”Vivian nodded. “I only hung up my clothes. Everything else is still in the suitcase. You can just take the things out.”Ray walked into the bedroom, pulled out her suitcase, and opened it. Inside were just books and a few other small items, nothing unusual.“You didn't bring any food with you?” asked Ray.“I haven’t really been in the mood, but the food here is way better than Russian food, so I didn't feel the need to bring anything.” Vivian’s tone was lighthearted now that she was in a better mood.“That's true.” Ray agreed, then asked

    Ray's tone turned serious. “Alright, I'll make the arrangements immediately. Dr. Craw, once the toxicology report is out, we’ll still need your help.”“For toxicology cases like this, I recommend combining both modern medicine and traditional herbal medicine. Don’t worry, if I can help, I definitely will,” Luca assured him.“Alright, thank you.” Ray expressed his gratitude and ended the call before updating Luke on the situation.Luke reassured him, saying, “If Vivian was really poisoned, don’t worry. Previously, Luca discovered that her biological mother had been poisoned with a slow-acting toxin. She prescribed herbal medicine and used purely traditional herbal medicine to detoxify her. It didn’t take long for all the toxins to be expelled, and her health fully recovered. So, rest assured. If it’s something she can fix, she’ll do everything she can.“Besides, once we identify the exact problem, the doctors will be able to step in and help, right?”“Yes. Thank you both in advance

    Gerald walked over. “Ms. Sanchez, what's wrong?”He was eager to get back upstairs and stash his cigarettes before someone noticed and took them.Hera yanked open his bag, glanced at the cigarette brand, and scoffed. “I thought it was some expensive brand. But it's just this? And you’re acting all deferential to her over this?”Gerald was rendered speechless. “I knew Ms. Craw was going out, so I asked her to bring these back for me. This is the brand I’m used to. Maybe it’s not expensive to you, but for me, it’s what I can afford.”Realizing she had misspoken, Hera felt a bit awkward. She quickly changed the topic. “Still, is a pack of cigarettes really worth you being so grateful to Luca? How much could it have cost?”“It’s not about the money,” replied Gerald. “It's just a nice surprise. I never expected to get anything out of helping Ms. Craw, and this kind of unexpected gift has nothing to do with the price. Besides, I'm not being overly grateful. I'm just happy.”He was ba

    Luca’s lips were already swollen and flushed from Luke's kisses.That deep shade of red, reflected in Luke’s eyes, was utterly captivating. It tugged at his nerves, stirring an uncontrollable desire within him.At that moment, he had only one thought, and it was to completely lose himself in her.…The two of them stepped out of the bedroom.Vivian quickly turned her back and greeted Luke when he saw him coming out, “Hello, Mr. Crawford.”“Vivian, don’t worry. Everything will get better,” replied Luke.Vivian simply hummed in response.Ray gave them a grateful nod as Luke took Luca’s hand and led her away.It was only after hearing the door close that Vivian finally turned back around.Ray glanced at her and said, “Vivian, they’re your friends. You don’t have to act this way around them. They won’t judge you.”“I know they won’t…” Vivian let out a soft sigh. “I just feel like I look terrifying right now. I didn’t want to scare them, so I avoided facing them directly. But it’

    “I once treated someone who had been slowly poisoned over a long period of time. Their pulse was similar to Vivian’s. Given that your family has good genetics, yet Vivian is different from the rest of you, and her skin improved after leaving her original environment, all of this confirms my suspicion.“Could it be that someone in your family has been poisoning Vivian? That would explain why her skin ended up like this.”“If she really has been poisoned, then would staying away from that environment or identifying the person responsible help her get better?” asked Ray.Luca shook her head.“The poison I’ve encountered before was a slow-acting toxin that kept the victim’s skin dark. I don’t know exactly what it was, but long-term exposure to any poison has an effect on the body. It's just a suspicion now. I need to consult someone I know. And honestly, I can’t be sure what’s really causing Vivian’s condition.“Is her skin deteriorating so quickly because she was poisoned once more a
