Luca rested her hand on her arm and shook her head. “You don’t have to be in such a hurry. By the way, this is not
the place to draw your blood either. Follow me."
Amur nodded and followed behind Luca.
Luca requested a visitor pass from the receptionist and asked Amur to put it around his neck. Then, she led him
upstairs.
The receptionist watched as the two of them entered the elevator. She could not help but gossip, "Is he really Dr.
Craw’s younger brother? Why is he a foreigner?"
"Who knows? There are so many complicated sibling relationships these days. It’s hard to tell." smiled another
receptionist, dropping her a hint.
"Do you mean..." the first receptionist trailed off, unable to mask her surprise.
"I didn’t say anything about it. It’d be better not to make wild guesses when it comes to someone like Dr. Craw."
On the other hand, Luca had brought Amur upstairs, leading him to the administrative office’s lounge as not
everyone could enter the laboratory.
The administrative manager knew Luca was here. She quickly came to the lounge. "Dr. Craw, I heard that you
brought a guest up here. Do you need us to attend to him?"
The manager could not help but size Amur up.
She was pretty sure that this man had never shown up in Watson Biopharmaceuticals before.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It’s okay. He came looking for me. Let me attend to him. I’ll leave you to your work," replied Luca as she shook her
head.
"Okay. Please excuse me first." The administrative manager swiftly turned to leave, closing the door behind her to
give the two of them some space.
Luca walked toward the pantry and asked, "Is there anything would you like to drink? Juice or milk?"
"What about coffee?" asked Amur. He never had juice and milk. Ever since he carried out his first mission, he has
only had beer and coffee since.
Both of them tasted bitter. Every sip of which reminded Amur to be more alert and cautious.
"Aren’t you drawing blood later? Taking coffee is bad for your health." Luca took the initiative to pour him a glass of
orange juice. "Just have some orange juice since we don’t have what you’d like to drink here."
Luca handed Amur a glass of orange juice.
Amur stared at the glass of orange juice before he eventually relented and took it from her, taking a sip. “Thank
you."
He did not like the sour-sweet taste indeed.
"Let me inform my assistant to bring the tools down here. Give me a minute," said Luca.
"Okay." Amur asked curiously, "What kind of research are you working on?"
"It's an antiviral drug. But you probably can't understand it even if I explain it to you. The virus has different
reactions in different races. That's why I thought of drawing your blood and transmitting the virus into the blood
sample to analyze it," lied Luca as she secretly rejoiced. It was fortunate that Amur did not like such training when
he was training on the Island of Despair in the past.
Amur and Eler were not interested in medical research.
Perhaps it was some kind of heredity?
"I see. Luca, I'm glad I could help," said Amur.
"Don't be. Let me ask my assistant to bring the phlebotomy equipment downstairs." It was inconvenient for her to
take Amur upstairs. That was why she had no choice but to ask Rhett to bring the tools here.
Luca dialed Rhett's phone number. "Mr. Link, please bring the phlebotomy equipment to the administration
department's lounge for me."
"Okay, Dr. Craw," replied Rhett.
Luca hung up the call and sat on the sofa. She looked at Amur and said, "When are you planning to..."
She trailed off and paused for a moment as she almost forgot there was a surveillance camera in the room.
"Nevermind. It's nothing."
"Okay." Amur knew what Luca wanted to ask.
However, this was not a place to talk about that.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Amur stared at Luca's bandaged hand with a darkened expression. He had noticed
that Luca's hand was injured when they were downstairs, but he did not have a chance to ask her about it given the
circumstances.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I accidentally cut myself with a knife." lied Luca, choosing to keep what happened to the Norman family a secret.
It was to prevent Amur from looking for trouble. Now that those men had been arrested by the police officers,
Luke's men were looking into the case too. Hence, there was no need for Amur to get involved in it.
"You accidentally cut yourself?" Amur raised his brows. If it were not for the bandage on her hand, which had no
extra gauze bandages, he would have unwrapped the bandage and taken a closer look at Luca's wound.
After all, there was no way Luca could cut that part of her hand if it was just an accident.
He was afraid that the cut on Luca's hand was caused by someone else.
Besides, it must have been a deep cut. Otherwise, there was no need for her to dress her wound with such a thick
bandage.
Luca kept silent. She knew there was no way she could lie to Amur, so she had no choice but to come clean. "There
was an incident, but the police officers are already investigating the case. You don't have to be concerned about it.
You should focus on whatever you need to do."
“Did you get in touch with Tina?" asked Luca, shooting a glance down at her hand before shifting her gaze back to
Amur, swiftly changing the topic.
"No." Amur knew that Tina had feelings for him, but he was destined to be out of her league. Hence, it would be
better not to contact her.
Given that Tina thought Amur had returned to Russia, perhaps it was best to let her continue to think so.
