Nina? Sue? He had not heard that either one of them was sick.
Was it Amur? However, that was impossible as well. If it were Armur, she would have said it was her younger
brother and not a friend. Perhaps it was Luca herself...
Johann pouted and negotiated with Luke, saying, "I helped you by asking questions. Even though I didn't get
valuable information, at least we know that she wants this antibiotic for her friend. Look, I don't wish for an entire
rack of wine. Half a rack will do. You'll give it to me, right?"
"What if she was lying to you? Do you think that statement of hers is worth half a rack of alcohol?" Luke said. He
suspected that Luca had just come up with an excuse to keep Johann quiet.
Johann was speechless at what Luke said. He said helplessly, "You don't have to be this snarky."
"Then do me a favor and get some valuable information," Luke said before hanging up.
He looked at the time. It would take about half an hour to reach the hospital from where he was. 'I think Luca will be
home earlier today.'
The maid carried a suitcase and came into the maid's room. She asked, "Sir, is this the suitcase that you
mentioned?"
"Yes." Luke looked at the black suitcase. It contained everything he needed for a business trip, but they were all
personal items. After all, he was a germaphobe, so he would bring all the items he needed to bathe and brush his
teeth.
"Okay, then I'll help you put in your winter clothes as well?" When the maid was carrying the suitcase downstairs,
she felt that there were not many things inside judging from the weight of it.
She guessed that there were no clothes in it yet.
"I'll put in the clothes later. Luca should be home in half an hour. Can you please go to the kitchen and heat up the
soup?" Luke had no idea whether or not would Luca prepare a meal tonight. He had the maid heat up the soup so
that when she returned, she would have some hot soup to warm herself.
In the past, she used to take care of him like this as well.
When he came back from work, it would usually be very late. However, there would always be supper waiting for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim and a bowl of hot soup to drink. She looked after him more meticulously than Allison.
"Alright, I'll go get it done right now." The maid placed the suitcase aside and walked into the kitchen to heat the
soup.
Looking at the suitcase, Luke then lay it flat and bent down to open it.
He controlled the wheelchair and came to the front of the closet.
The maid had placed the winter coat that he always wore in it.
Luke prepared three winter coats. Winter coats were very thick, so they immediately filled up the entire luggage.
He then prepared another two sets of pajamas. After putting them in, he zipped up the suitcase.
He looked at the passport and other items on the table. He was going to fly over to Russia the next day.
He was obviously concerned about this project, but what mattered the most was the coming few days. He might be
able to find out the mastermind controlling Luca.
He had sent both Rain and Gale over much earlier all for this matter.
"Luca, I'll make sure you'll stay by my side," Luke muttered.
On the other hand.
After Luca left the hospital, she brought a few medication itineraries that she needed at the nearest pharmacy. With
a bag full of things, she entered the car. Just then, she sneezed.
'Did I catch a cold?'
She rubbed her nose but did not think much about it. She just wanted to head home and administer the treatment
to herself.
Luca drove the car and rushed toward the villa. The road was jam-packed because it was the peak hours after
work. She sighed as she slowly followed the flow of the traffic.
She thought she was about to solve the difficult problem Abel had left for her. She did not expect that the road
would be this heavily congested on her way back.
'Sure enough, there were lots of obstacles to obtain a piece of good news.'
Due to the traffic jam, Luca's journey ended up taking one and a half hours.
When she returned to the villa, she saw Luke in the living room and blinked her eyes. It was one of the few times
she saw Luke sitting in the living room when she came back home.
Under normal circumstances, he would be in his room, settling documents.
Luke saw Luca returning with the cold air behind her and frowned while asking, "Why... are you home so late?"
Initially, he wanted to ask for the reason she was late when the journey home should only take half an hour.
However, she then discover that he had asked Johann about her. He changed his question at the last minute.
Luca was puzzled. Even though she was home late, it was still considered quite early when compared to the last two
to three days.
"The road was very congested," she said.
"There's soup in the kitchen. It's still hot." After Luke spoke, he controlled the wheelchair and turned around to head
toward the maid's room.
The maid had warmed up the soup. Before she went back home, she confirmed it with Luke again and placed the
soup into a thermos flask to keep it warm.
"Alright, thanks." Luca did not expect Luke to order the maid to warm up the soup at this hour.
Luke stopped his wheelchair, and with his back facing her, he said, "Don't forget that we're flying to Russia
tomorrow."
"I remember." Luca did not forget about it. If it was not because she had to head to Russia, she would not have
been so anxious over the past two days.
Luke reminded again, "Pack your luggage. Don't miss the flight."
For the past two days, she was always out early and came back home late. Without needing to ask her, he knew
that she had not packed her luggage.
"Alright.” Luca watched him enter the maid's room, and only then did she enter the kitchen. She saw the thermos
flask on the table and headed over to open it.
Inside was warm soup.
Luca took a bowl and poured the soup out. She slowly sipped on it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe soup was still warm. It warmed up her hands, her body, and her insides as well...
After drinking the soup, she carried her bag and went upstairs.
She thought back to Luke's statement. She was not in a hurry to get the medications ready and took out the
suitcase to put two winter coats inside as well as some daily necessities.
She took out her passport and placed it in a backpack. She planned to carry a backpack. Coupled with the suitcase,
she would be all set to leave.
After packing her things, Luca started preparing the medications.
She took out Amphotericin B and mixed it with a normal saline solution. After mixing it thoroughly, she used the
syringe that she bought at the pharmacy and slowly injected it into her vein.
Looking at the solution dripping slowly made her feel calm.
During this time, she had been tormented by this injury.
If it were not for Amur's anti-inflammatory drugs, perhaps she might not have been able to hold on until now.
After the injection, Luca took a deep breath and felt her body. When she felt that nothing was wrong, she started
preparing for the medications that needed to be applied to her wound.
After preparing it, she took her pajamas and went to bathe.
Even if it was just a bath, she would wrap her wound with a bandage and plastic wrap to prevent her wound from
coming into contact with water. That would cause it to be inflamed.
After bathing, she peeled off the bandage and plastic wrap. After checking the wound, she noticed it was still
inflamed.
Luca walked out of the bathroom and took the medication that she had just prepared. With an expressionless look,
she applied it to her wound.
Then, she faced the mirror and picked up the bandage to wrap it around her wound.
Luca looked at herself in the mirror. Due to the bandage, that area seemed much thicker.
She muttered to herself, "Thank God, it's winter."
If it was summer, her uneven waist would definitely arouse suspicion.
