Vivian frowned. When she heard Luca say so, she thought it must be the kind of medicine that was hard to
purchase.
There were two types of medicines that were hard to find in the market. One was prohibited drugs, while the other
were medicines used to cure extraordinary diseases.
Vivian looked at Luca and thought she was probably not looking for the prohibited drugs.
Besides, she would have her own reason for needing this medicine...
“I can help," said Vivian. She knew people who could get such things because of Ray.
Luca shook her head and replied, "I can find them myself."
"You're worried that someone will find out about it, right? Don't worry. You've been listening to me all day today. I'm
thankful. I'll help you look for the medicine, and I'll keep it a secret at the same time," said Vivian. Although she still
felt down, she was doing much better now after pouring her feelings out.
Luca thought to herself that since Vivian had promised not to tell, then Luke would not be able to find out about it.
Besides, Vivian had much more connections than her in Russia.
That should be fine.
"Sorry to trouble you," Luca eventually agreed to have her help.
"It's nothing. What's the medicine you're looking for?" Vivian asked.
Luca decided to tell her about the antibiotics. "Amphotericin B. It's a type of antibiotic."
Vivian typed on her phone keyboard and handed the phone to Luca. "Is this the one?"
"Yes, it is," said Luca. She did not choose the medicine for external use as there were many types of it. It would be
troublesome to find it.
Antibiotics could work well.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca had not asked for more of it from Johann as she was afraid that he would suspect her. That was why she only
took one dosage from him and injected herself with it right away to resolve the issue.
Antibiotics worked better than medicine for external use.
"Then let's add each other as friends. I'll text you once I have it," said Vivian. She was not very friendly to Luca
before this because of Bianca.
Vivian thought Luca was the mistress who had destroyed Luke and Bianca's relationship. That was why she stayed
away from her.
However, Vivian changed her perception of Luca today.
It was not because Luca was willing to listen to her rant but Luca seemed to know her well. It could be seen from
when she was listening to her and how she handled the matter after that.
Luca nodded, and the two of them exchanged their contact details.
Luca stood up and took a bottle of pills out of the bag when Vivian was almost done with her breakfast.
“What's this?" Vivian asked with curiosity.
"I'm a pharmaceutical researcher. These are the sleeping pills that I developed myself. I think you'll be needing
them." Luca did not give Vivian too many of them. She was worried that Vivian would end her life by taking too
many pills if she took things too hard.
Hence, Luca shook out five pills and wrapped them with a piece of tissue. Then, she handed them to Vivian. "Take
one if you can't fall asleep. The effect is much better than the ones bought out there."
"Thank you. Why don't you give me the whole bottle, then?" Vivian smiled. She felt much better having Luca keep
her company and chat with her to distract her attention.
"Although there aren't many side effects, the efficacy is still there. You're feeling upset now, and I'm worried that
you might take things too hard." Luca put the bottle back into her bag. Her words were honest and straightforward.
She did not act submissively, nor was she afraid that she would make Vivian feel worse.
"I won't. Don't worry, and thank you. I happen to need these now," said Vivian. She knew she could not fall asleep.
The pills would definitely work on her.
Furthermore, even though Vivian was unfamiliar with Luca, judging from the relationship between Luke and Luca
and Luke and Ray's friendship, Luca would never harm Vivian by giving her random pills.
"Take one before you sleep. The pills I gave you should be enough to last you for five days. That's all I can do for
you now. Get some rest. Mr. Ray is worried about you. Go home when you feel much better," said Luca. She tried to
remind her not to do anything silly and that Ray was still waiting for her at home.
Vivian felt a sting of melancholy surging in her heart. This time, it was not because of Gordon but Ray.
Luca's words reminded her of everything Ray had done for her all these years.
Ray had fought with Gordan again and again to convince him. He was worried and arranged for guards to make
sure she was safe when she insisted on moving to the new villa together with Gordan.
He had done so much for her throughout these years.
He did everything for her sake and to ensure her happiness. However, Vivian was keeping everyone in the dark and
hiding to heal the pain in her heart.
"Ray must be disappointed in me, his elder sister." Vivian laughed at herself. Ray had done so many things for her,
while she only had eyes on Gordan.
She was selfish. She was way too selfish!
Luca shook her head and said, "He's not disappointed in you. And he's going to every hotel to search for you.
Judging from Mr. Ray's speed, I'm guessing he'll be here very soon. I've been watching the news in Russia. It seems
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike the underworld organizations here aren't really peaceful. Follow Mr. Ray back home if he finds you. It's not safe
here."
Luca knew the siblings' family well, and the stronghold of the Island of Despair was in Russia. She had been paying
attention to the news here.
Luca paid even more attention to it when she knew she was going on a business trip to Russia with Luke.
Luca knew the underworld scene was in chaos now when she saw the news broadcasting about what they had
done. Thus, she kindly reminded Vivian about it.
“Really? Ray didn't tell me anything about it. I didn't know..." Vivian was shocked.
"Anyway, make sure that you're safe. I'm not going to bother you now, and I should leave." Luca asked to leave
when she saw that Vivian was much calmer now.
"Alright. Let me see you off," said Vivian.
"It's alright. I know how to go downstairs. Just take one pill and get some sleep. You'll feel much better when you
wake up later," said Luca. Then, she left Vivian's room.
Luca walked to the elevator. A man in a black suit walked out of the elevator when it reached the floor.
Luca could sense danger in the air. She felt that this man was not an ordinary man.
Luca looked down and noticed the man was holding a room card. She reckoned that he had booked a room, and he
probably had nothing to do with Vivian. Thus, she walked into the elevator calmly and pressed the button for the
first floor.
Luca reached the first floor and walked out of the hotel.
Although Vivian had promised to help her to look for Amphotericin B, Luca still planned to walk around the area.
She could not pin her hopes on Vivian alone.
After so many years, Luca was aware that the only person she could trust was Luke and herself.
Although others had claimed that they would help, Luca would still search for the medicine herself. Depending on
them might not be able to solve the problem. There were times when she could not even rely on Luke. She could
only depend on herself.
Luca found a clinic nearby. She hailed a cab and headed to the clinic.
