“No, you don't. But someone around you can help you do this." Abel gave Luca a hint.
Luca was startled for a moment. She suddenly realized that the person Abel was talking about was Amur...
"Can you not involve the innocent in this?!" Luca clenched her fists. She did not want Amur to be involved in this matter as this
was not a good thing.
"He decided to stay by your side, so he's destined to be involved in this. I'll send you the bank account number and password.
You'll deposit the money into that account after this. You know very well what you'll face if you don't complete the task," said
Abel.
Luca did not say another word. She did not have the chance to reject Abel's instructions.
The silence on the other end of the phone made Abel feel smug. Abel grinned and said, "Do you think that you don't have to
accept the mission if you stop talking? Luca, keep this in your mind. You were destined to be my puppet three years ago. And
stop thinking about finding a chance to escape!"
Luca lowered her gaze. She would have escaped if it had not been for her child. Being constantly threatened by Abel made her
life a living hell.
"I'll arrange it," Luca replied. Abel was right. The moment Amur decided to stay here to help her, there was no way he could stay
out of it.
Abel sneered. He was dissatisfied with Luca submitting to him all of a sudden.
"Is there anything you'd like to say apart from this?" Abel continued to ask.
"No." Luca knew what Abel wanted to talk about. Also, she knew that Abel would not tell her what she wanted to know even if
she asked.
"It seems like you've found out that something's wrong with your wound. But I'm surprised. You're aware of it, but you're not
saying anything about it. Why? Are you planning to find the cure yourself?" Abel remembered her wound that had yet to recover
and the bloody scene that night. He could not help but feel excited.
Abel regretted not taking a photo of that scene. Otherwise, it would help brighten his day whenever he looked at it.
"You won't tell me even if I ask you, so I'll save my breath. I have to go." Luca rolled her eyes. She could imagine the look on
Abel's face now without even thinking about it.
Abel hated Luke. That was why he hated everything and everyone that was related to him.
The happiest person to see Luca wounded was Abel. It was because she used to be Luke's woman.
Luca hung up the call and lifted her head to look in the mirror on the dressing table. Then, she smiled bitterly.
Luke's ex-wife...
This was the only identity that Luca had now that was directly related to Luke.
The phone that Luca was holding in her hand vibrated for a second. She held it up and saw that it was a message sent from the
string of numbers. Luca opened it and memorized the bank account number and password before deleting the message.
Then, she called Amur.
The phone rang five times. Only then did Amur pick up the call. Amur's confused tone came from the other end of the call.
"Luca?"
“Did I wake you up?" Luca noticed that there was a hint of drowsiness in Amur's voice. She thought that he was still in bed.
From what Luca remembered, Amur's lifestyle had always been normal except when he was on a mission. Could it be that Amur
had been up all night just because of Enoch's matter?
Luca felt a little guilty. She did not reply to Amur's message when he sent her a message yesterday as she was busy looking
after Luke.
"No. It's time for me to get up anyway." Amur sat up on the bed and rubbed his forehead that stung a little.
Amur had left the place after eating pot pie with Tina last night. He thought of getting some drinks before returning to the
apartment. Thus, he went drinking at the bar until the bar closed. It was only then he went back to sleep.
That was why he had been sleeping until now.
Luca listened to Amur's slightly hoarse voice and said helplessly, "I was assigned a mission, but I need your help. Can you meet
me today?"
Luca knew Amur was tired, but she could not wait until tomorrow.
Luke was at Watson Biopharmaceuticals now, and he must be investigating this. Luke's men were capable. It would be difficult
for Luca to accomplish the mission assigned by Abel if she did not do it today.
"No problem. You can come over now." Amur pulled himself together and stood up. He walked out of the room and saw the
messy living room. His face darkened. "I'll wait for you at home."
Amur hung up Luca's call and started hurriedly cleaning up.
Luca was startled to hear the busy tone on the other end of the call. Amur did not even ask what mission she was on and
immediately promised to help her.
Amur had been helping her the entire time, while Eler was looking after Nyla on the Island Of Despair. Luca owed the brother
and sister a favor.
Luca returned to her bedroom. She put the translated folders into the briefcase. Then, she made her way down the stairs.
The maid was already waiting for Luca in the living room. "Ms. Luca, would you like to have lunch now?" "Is Mr. Crawford coming
back for lunch?" Luca asked.
“Mr. Doyle called just now to say that Mr. Crawford won't be coming back for lunch," replied the maid. Although the maid
wondered why Jason would make a call just to inform her of such a matter, she understood immediately when Luca asked her.
It must have been Luke's order. He asked Jason to tell Luca not to wait for him and that she should have lunch first.
"Alright. Can you please pack two portions of lunch for me?" Luca said to the maid as she placed the briefcase on the sofa.
Then, she picked up the coat on the clothes rack and put it on.
"Sure. Are you planning to deliver lunch to Mr. Crawford?" The maid smiled as she thought about how close they were.
"No..." Luca shook her head and continued, "I'm going to my brother's place. He probably hasn't eaten lunch, so.."
The maid knew she had misunderstood Luca. She came back to her senses. "Oh, but the lunch might get cold if I pack it. Why
don't you have lunch first?"
"Just pack it. I'm in a hurry," said Luca. Then, she sat beside the shoe rack. She put on her socks and changed into a pair of
warm winter boots.
The maid nodded and headed to the kitchen. She packed two servings of lunch for Luca in the thermos container. Then, she
carried it out and handed it to Luca. "Ms. Luca, will you be back for dinner, then?"
"It depends on my work progress. I'll give you a call later." Luca took the thermos container and the briefcase before heading
outside.
A cold gust of wind blew on Luca's face. Luca lowered her head and walked to the garage. She got into the car and left.
Luca thought there was no need to hide her tracks as she was looking for Amur. She was not going anywhere else.
Amur was her brother. It was normal for her to look for him.
It would be strange if Luca deliberately covered her tracks.
Luca headed to the apartment after she drove the car out of the villa.
The maid pondered for a moment as she watched Luca drive the car and leave the villa. Ultimately, she made a call to Luke.
"What's the matter?" Luke did not reject the call when he saw that it was the maid calling him.
"Mr. Crawford, Ms. Luca has just left the house. She said she's going to her brother's house, and she brought two servings of
lunch together with her," the maid told him honestly.
