Luke was never short of money but Luca was being so serious about keeping track of everything he spent on her.
The maid knew that the relationship they had was anything but romantic. She agreed to Luca’s request. “Okay, Ms.
Luca. Is there anything else you want me to buy?”
“That’s it, thank you,” Luca replied politely without any tone of ordering the maid around.
The maid felt comfortable to be treated as such. There were many things to buy and she thought of helping Luca
settle in, so she asked, “Ms. Luca, do you want to go to the mall together?”
“No, I want to rest.” Luca turned her down.
The maid said, “Okay, is there anything I can help with now? I don’t think it’s very convenient for you to move
around…”
She saw that Luca had no other wounds except for the gauze on her forehead, so she thought that Luca was
paralyzed…
“It’s okay, I have a concussion and can’t move around too much. I’ll just sit in the wheelchair,” Luca said.
Upon hearing it was a concussion, the maid nodded and said, “I understand now. It’s best if you can get some rest.
Give me a second, I’ll go in and change a set of bedsheets for you. You can rest in the room after.”
It was better to lie down than to sit down. Luca did not turn her down and replied with a soft hum.
The maid walked into the master bedroom, changed the bedsheet, then pushed Luca into the bedroom before
helping her get on the bed.
After helping her to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner and tucking her in, the maid said, “Ms. Luca, I’ll go
shopping now.”
“Okay, thank you.” Luca thanked her.
The maid walked out of the bedroom, took the list, and left the apartment.
Luca lay quietly on the bed. The newly changed sheets and bedding had a faint lemon fragrance. The scent was
mainly from the cleaning liquid. She used to like to use this cleaning liquid. She did not expect that three years later,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuke was still using this cleaning fluid.
Luca’s heart began to feel uncomfortable when she thought about how her previous life habits were still influencing
him.
‘In the future, if it’s Tia by his side, I’m sure his life habits will change, right?’
Tia was completely different from her previous self.
It was said that one could understand a person through their car. Luca understood more about Tia She was a
woman who pursued a high-quality lifestyle. She deserved to be the woman standing next to Luke.
She was not worthy before, and now that her hands were covered with blood, she was even more unworthy.
Luca gave a sad smile and closed her eyes.
…
After Luke returned to the office, Jason informed him that Gale was waiting in the reception room.
After he put the files in his office, he walked directly to the reception room.
Gale saw him, stood up, and greeted him, “Boss.”
“Sit.” Luke waved his hand and sat down on the sofa.
Gale also sat down.
Luke took out a cigarette but did not smoke it. He had it between his index finger and middle finger. He looked at
Gale and asked, “Do you want a cigarette?”
“Boss, I’ve quit smoking.” Gale shook his head.
Luke raised his eyebrows and did not say anything. He asked directly, “Were there any findings from your
investigation yesterday?”
The night before, he asked Gale to sneak into Luca’s apartment. They were acting without the police knowing, so
many people did not know about it.
“Yes,” Gale nodded.
Luke did not answer, indicating Gale to continue reporting.
Gale said, “I sneaked into the apartment with Rain last night and found something suspicious. You said that Dr. Craw
was found at the entrance of the apartment but she seemed to have bought groceries and they were all placed on
the table. I went to the police station today. Using your name, I took a look at the photos of the scene taken by the
police and found that Dr. Craw’s briefcase was on the sofa.”
Luke frowned slowly as he listened on.
‘She fainted at the entrance, so how could the groceries she bought end up on the table while her briefcase was on
the sofa?’
This was indeed suspicious, but Luke thought that it made sense if Luca had put aside things and went to the
hallway to change her shoes.
“This can be explained,” he said.
Gale nodded as he had already thought of the possibilities. There could be a possible explanation for this, but he
continued talking, “Boss, it can be explained but it doesn’t conform to common sense. There’s a cabinet at the
entrance of Dr. Craw’s apartment. I believe that she would usually put her things in the cabinet and then change
her shoes before going into the house. Shouldn’t she put the things away after changing her shoes?”
The normal order was to change one’s shoes and then walk into the house.
Luke listened to his words, and he understood the logic behind them. After he analyzed the scene, Luca’s behavior
was indeed a little weird.
Gale opened his mouth slightly but was not sure if he could continue talking.
Luke noticed it and said, “Continue.”
“Boss, Dr. Craw is staying with you now, right?” He was fast in getting news. He knew that Luca had been
discharged from the hospital and Luke helped with the discharge procedures.
‘A person who has no other place to stay and no ID card must not be able to check into a hotel. The only thing that I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcan think of is that Luke took her in.’
“Yeah,” Luke nodded.
Gale boldly said, “There’s no way to explain what happened to Dr. Craw. I’ve gone through the statement that Dr.
Craw made. She said that she was knocked out when she entered the house. The assailant would not be so kind as
to bring her groceries in and put them where they should be. My guess is that Dr. Craw’s attack was planned. In
other words, she’s probably from the Island of Despair. Even if she’s not from the Island of Despair, she has ulterior
motives. As for this ulterior motive, I think it’s aimed toward you…”

A murder happened in Luca’s apartment. Coupled with her injuries, she could get closer to Luke faster.
Gale’s analysis was based on his understanding of the Island of Despair.
Sometimes, they could harm the interests of many people and even their lives to achieve their goals.
Now, Luca was in close contact with Luke.
Luke had thought about whatever Gale mentioned. Luca seemed reluctant, and all of this seemed to be against her
will.
The murder in the apartment may have been planned by Luca and the people behind her.
Luke’s gaze deepened when he thought about how she might be a cold-blooded woman who would do anything to
get close to him.
“Have the police noticed this?” Luke asked.
“They haven’t noticed it yet. The police only took Dr. Craw’s briefcase. Maybe they were thinking of taking the
fingerprints on it to see if they could find anything, but they didn’t take the bag of groceries,” Gale said.
After all, there may be valuable things in the briefcase and the police would naturally pay more attention to it. The
grocery bag was full of food, so the police naturally felt that there was no value in investigating it.
That was why Gale felt like something was wrong, and there was a receipt in the bag of groceries.
