However, thinking from a different perspective, there was not much of her stuff here. It was unnecessary for her to
use the maid’s room, so naturally, she would not go in that often. Even though Luke’s belongings were left here, it
was not a big deal.
At the thought of this, Luca walked to the table and pretended to ask inadvertently, “So, does that mean the people
that Mr. Crawford sent won’t be coming today?”
“Yes, I’ll be moving out after I tidy up all these. By the way, Ms. Craw, I bought some groceries for you when I went
to the supermarket to get the bedding. They’re in the fridge. I’ve also put the receipts you requested in the plastic
bag,” said the caretaker.
“Alright, thank you.” Although Luca was not having a fever anymore, her body was still weak and she was fatigued.
She was probably still going through the effects of the antidote.
After all, it was the antidote that Abel had mixed something else in. Her body needed more time to recover.
Now that the caretaker had bought groceries for her, which saved her the trouble of going grocery shopping, she
was thankful for that.
“Don’t mention it.” The caretaker smiled. After she tidied everything, she closed the door to the maid’s room. Then,
she left the apartment.
Luca was left alone in the apartment.
Although it was a single apartment, it was more spacious than the two-bedroom apartment she was staying in back
then. Luca suddenly felt a little not used to it.
She looked at the huge apartment that was kept clean and tidy by the caretaker. As she stood up, it looked exactly
like a show house. Other than the clothes hanging there, there was not even a sign of life.
It was just like her. Even though she was alive in this world, her real identity had already been beaten to the ground.
She tried to find a trace of Luke’s belongings in the living room, but after looking around for a few rounds, she was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstill unable to find anything.
The place was truly clean…
Luca raised the corner of her lips and smiled bitterly with a hint of depression.
She had no intention to check if there were surveillance cameras in the living room. It was because she knew that
even if there were surveillance cameras installed in the house, the bedroom would be the safest place.
Luke could not be that nasty to install surveillance cameras in the bedroom.
Her phone vibrated, and the ringtone was ringing happily. Luca took her phone out and glanced at it. It was Nina
calling.
“Nina, have you moved in?” She recalled that Nina would be moving today.
“I’ve already moved in. Luca, are you feeling better?” Nina’s tone sounded cheerful. It seemed that she was in a
good mood.
Well, she was able to start her life again, so of course, she should be cheerful.
“I’m feeling better now,” Luca replied, “Is there anything you need help with?”
“I don’t need any help. I don’t have that many things. All I had to do was carry my luggage and move in.” Nina
recalled that when she moved into Percy’s villa back then, she had also carried just a piece of luggage. There were
not many things inside and just a few sets of clothes.
She did not expect the relationship to last long, so she did not bring many personal belongings with her, which
included those precious decorations. They were all left at Anna’s house.
Now that she had moved, she still only brought the essentials with her. She had just tidied up the stuff in her
luggage. She was reminded that in the past three years, other than some necessities and consumables, she had
not put anything else in Percy’s villa.
It was as if she was already prepared for her departure.
Now, the apartment would be her new home. Although it was already nicely furnished, Nina wanted to decorate it
to make it look more like her own house.
One day, she would buy another apartment with her effort and that would become her forever home.
Luca did not know what she was thinking about. She was relaxed after she knew Nina had settled down. “I was
supposed to keep you company.”
“There’s no such thing as you’re supposed to do this or that. I know how weak your body is. Luca, you must take
good care of your health, do you understand?” Nina advised her.
Last night, when Johann was diagnosing her, Nina had listened to everything clearly. She realized that Luca was not
as healthy as she seemed.
Humans were fragile, even Luca. She was too.
“Alright.” A warm feeling flowed into Luca’s heart.
If she could, she would love to stay with Nina so that both of them could look after each other.
However, it was inconvenient for her to have a roommate now. She dared not to get too close with someone else
as well.
Nina said a few more words, telling Luca to take good care of herself. After that, she hung up the phone.
Luca sat on the sofa and pondered. She briefly summarized everything that had happened in these few days in a
text message and sent it to Amur.
She waited for a while, but there was no reply from Amur.
After Amur went to B City, she had still been receiving messages from him until a few days ago. He told her that he
would be busy for some time, then she never heard from him again.
B City was located near South Asia. The environment of those neighboring countries was complicated. Although
Amur did not tell her what mission he had there, there was some uneasiness deep down in her heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca held the phone for a while but there was no news from Amur.
She sent another message. [Tell me if you’re facing any difficulties. And tell me before you come back. Send me a
reply. I’m worried about you.]
The message was sent, then Luca deleted the message.
It was about noon, and Luca stood up to walk into the kitchen.
She took some vegetables that were bought by the caretaker out from the fridge. There was indeed a receipt in the
plastic bag. Luca glanced at the numbers on the paper and planned to keep the receipt. All of a sudden, something
came into her mind. The plastic bag in her hands fell to the floor.
She remembered…
On the day of the incident, she had put the briefcase and groceries down first. It was because she always had this
habit of keeping receipts, so she would not throw the receipts away. Instead, she would put them in the plastic bag.
The plastic bag was on the dining table.
When she was giving her statement, she mentioned that she was attacked as soon as she reached home. She said
she had no idea what was going on. However, she remembered that she had left the plastic bag on the table. It was
the biggest and most careless mistake…
Luca held the receipt tightly in her hand. When she realized her careless mistake, she could not stop herself from
breaking out in a cold sweat.
As for the police’s side, they must have not noticed it. Otherwise, they would have summoned her to ask what had
happened by now.
She was not afraid of the police noticing it. What she was afraid of was that Luke would notice it…
If he found out about this and compared it to the statement that she gave, would he discover something else?
Luca had a lot of messy thoughts in her mind. She squatted down to pick up the plastic bag, and the receipt in her
hand was being held so tightly between her fingers.
No way! She must get a chance to return to the apartment to take a look at things. She needed to see if Luke had
found out about her careless mistake.
After Luca made the decision, she calmed herself down.
