"I'll head home to cook now." Luca made an excuse, hurriedly unlocked the door, and walked into the apartment.
As she stared at the closed apartment door, Mrs. Selley shuddered and sighed as she said, "Youngsters today are so
bold. They dare to live anywhere."
Mrs. Selley thought of the gust of wind that blew when the door closed just now and shuddered again. "That house
is spine-chilling."
Luca walked into the apartment and found that the lights were on, indicating that Amur had returned.
"Amur?" she called out to him.
The apartment was empty, and her voice was the only thing that proved that someone was there. Luca was
puzzled, so she picked up the phone and called him.
Amur answered as soon as the call was connected.
"Amur, why aren't you in the apartment?" Luca asked.
"I'm doing some shopping," Amur replied.
Luca could hear that the background on his end was a bit noisy. He seemed to be on the street, so she said, "Okay,
I'll start cooking now. Come after you're done shopping."
"Mm," Amur replied.

The apartment, which had been unoccupied for several months, had been cleaned by Amur. The kitchen was
spotless. It seemed that Amur had cleaned everything to prepare for her arrival.
Luca opened the bag, took out the ingredients, and got busy.
As she was halfway through preparing dinner, Amur returned to the apartment and heard some sounds from the
kitchen. A faint smile appeared on his chilly face.
He liked days like this when he could see her or hear the noises that she made as soon as he opened the door.
Days like this felt like how life should be and gave him hope.
Amur thought of the gloom on the Island of Despair and sighed. Sure enough, no one wanted to live their whole
lives underground.
However, they had no choice but to accept it considering the environment that they were in.
After he had experienced such a life full of fireworks, he would dream back to those times when he was on the
Island of Despair.
"Amur, are you back?" Luca asked from the kitchen. She seemed to have heard the door open, but she asked since
she did not hear Amur's voice.
"It's me," Amur replied.
"Mm, go wash your hands. Dinner is ready," Luca said as she placed the burgers that she cooked on a plate.
Amur had a large appetite, so she packed a full plate for him.
After that, she took some roasted fish out of the oven.
She prepared several dishes for him on top of the burgers he requested.
Amur walked into the kitchen, and the aroma of the food stimulated his taste buds. "It smells delicious."
"They're all your favorite dishes! Will you help me carry them out?" Luca glanced at him. 'Sure enough, he lost
weight again.'
Amur, who finally gained some weight in A City, lost weight after he returned to the Island of Despair.
The food on the Island of Despair was not great, and he had to go through a lot of training every day. It made sense
that he would lose weight.
Amur nodded and walked out carrying the dishes she prepared.
Luca filled two bowls of soup and walked to the dining room. "You lost weight. You should eat more for dinner."
"I have to train every day I'm on the Island of Despair, and the food they cook is extremely unpalatable," Amur said
with disgust in his tone.
"Eat more." Luca handed him the utensils.
"Thank you." Amur was not shy and dug in right away. After he had several burgers, he slowly breathed a sigh of

"Mm?" Luca looked at him with some confusion.
"I've been thinking about having your food for a few months now. When I took the first bite, I felt like I was
dreaming. It wasn't until I took several bites that it felt real. It turns out that I wasn't dreaming." Amur let out a long
sigh of relief.
Luca smiled and replied, "That's exaggerated. Try the other dishes."
Amur took a piece of roasted fish and put it in his mouth, then gave Luca a thumbs up. "It's delicious."
"Eat slowly. We're not in a hurry." Seeing the speed at which he chewed, Luca wondered if Abel had put him in some
refugee area in the last few months, one where he could not eat nor live well.
"You're not planning to have me finish everything, right?" Amur raised his eyebrows when he saw her stop eating.
Luca smiled and picked up her utensils to eat some burgers.
When she saw how Amur ate, she swore to herself that she would develop the antidote so that he and Eler could
eat whatever they want in the future and no longer have to survive in that kind of environment.
After dinner, Amur took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
Luca put her phone on the coffee table and walked out to the balcony to get some fresh air.
The weather had warmed up a bit, but the temperature at night was still low. She felt cold whenever the wind blew.
However, she wanted the cold wind to make her mind clearer.
After dinner, it was time to talk business.
