“Send the children there?" Luca was surprised as she had never heard him mention this.
She looked back and forth between Luke and the computer and started to feel that the phone call last night must
not be good news.
"It's just a week, and I've already told Mr. Griffin. Mr. Zander has other plans today, so you're the only person I can
ask," said Luke as he could not leave.
He had so much left to do.
"Alright, I'll send the kids over when they wake up," Luca knew that she could not offer to take care of the children
herself, so she complied with his request.
"The maids will also work there, so I can have them drive if you don't want to," said Luke.
"I can." Luca shook her head slightly. Now that Matysh had been arrested, no one would follow her on the road.
Luke looked at her legs.
The length of Luca's pants was up to her ankles, so he could not see how the wound was looking.
"How's your ankle wound?" he asked.
Luca looked down at her feet and lifted her pants slightly. "The blisters are gone, so it's looking good."

Luca knew that he would do whatever he wanted to, so she nodded and said, "I'll bring the first aid kit."
Then, she went to the second-floor living room and took the first aid kit that was put away yesterday. When she was
about to go back to the room, she noticed Luke behind her.
"I'll do it." Luke took the first aid kit and held her hand before walking over to the sofa to sit down.
After Luca sat down, he placed her injured foot on his lap.
Luke took out the ointment and carefully applied it to her burnt ankle.
The blisters and swelling had subsided a lot. Luca did indeed recover a lot faster than others.
Luke suddenly recalled the time she just returned from the Island of Despair. Every time she got injured, she would
heal faster than anyone else. Was it because she took the medicine that controlled her?
He looked down with his gloomy eyes. No matter how great it was for the body, as long as it was used to control
others, it was not good medicine.
After noticing that Luke was no longer moving the cotton swab, Luca whispered, "Luke?" Luke came back to his
senses and looked up to smile at her before continuing to apply the ointment for her. “Does it still hurt?"
“It doesn't hurt anymore after the medicine yesterday," said Luca. She had always healed fast. Plus, that drug had
made her pain tolerance much higher.
That was the purpose of the drug Shanks developed.
If someone on a mission was hurt, they would still be able to defend themselves or run away even if they got
stabbed. That was because of their higher pain tolerance, so they did not feel as much pain as normal people.
Their wounds would heal twice as fast as the average person too.
Their bodies were no longer like the average human's.
This drug controlled those on the Island of Despair, making them obey Abel at all times. At the same time, it could
make those on the Island of Despair stronger.
Luke put down her ankle with a heavy feeling in his chest.
Although her body was in much better condition, it was a drug that was used to control people...
When the Island of Despair was eradicated, he would find the person who developed the drug and torture them
endlessly.
“I'll go downstairs to see if breakfast is ready. Will you eat in here?" Luca noticed his silence and gloomy presence,
which made her worried.
However, she could not say the words and doubts in her head out loud.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca felt that it was inappropriate of her to ask those questions, given her identity.
If Luke wanted to tell her, he would have long ago.
“Yes, I still have work to do." Luke placed the ointment back in the box.
Luca looked at his slender fingers with the urge to hold them and make him tell her all of his worries.
However, she held it back.
If he refused to tell her and she still asked, he would not tell her the whole truth anyway.
“I'll tidy up, then. Breakfast will be sent up here later." Luca took the first aid kit and closed it before standing up
and putting it back in the cabinet,
Luke stared at her walking downstairs with a sullen look.
She was a sensitive person, so she must know that he was hiding something, but she used to be someone who
wanted to know everything and share his burdens.
Luca.
This name never belonged to her.
She was his Bianca.
