Based on what she heard from Luke's conversation, Luca was worried about Wanda.
Luke looked at Luca seriously. “It's just a small matter. I don't need to go to the company,
so don't worry. It's all taken care of."
Luca's chest suddenly tightened as she felt an indescribable surge of emotion.
Then, Luke asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine." Luca shook her head as she thought of asking Johann later.
"Your book is upside down. Is there something bothering you?" Luke said.
Luca looked down and saw that her book was flipped upside down. After coming upstairs,
she was so shaken up that she did not even notice that she was holding her book the
wrong way.
After making a fool of herself, she put her book aside and said, "I'm sleepy."
"Go to sleep, then." Luke lifted the blanket and motioned for her to lie down.
After Luca put the book aside and lay down, she picked up her phone.
"Don't go on your phone when you're about to go to bed," Luke reminded softly.
Luca paused as she opened her messaging app before looking at the person behind her.
"Are you going to bed too?"
"If you're going to bed, of course, I'm going to bed too," said Luke as he lay down.
As he was about to put his arms around her, she suddenly sat up and said, "I need to go to
the bathroom."
After that, she got out of bed and went into the bathroom with her phone.
Luke gazed at Luca's back solemnly. He did not want Luca to be so worried. After finding
out about Wanda's 'news', she definitely would not have a good rest tonight.
However, if he chose to ease her worries now, he might never be able to uncover the
secret behind her.
Luke could not bear doing this to her, but he forced himself to.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had to trigger Luca to make her confess everything and explain the forces controlling
her. Only then could their family be reunited and Queenie be discharged from the hospital.
He tried to convince himself that his cruel plan was for Luca's sake.
After seeing her hiding herself in the bathroom, he picked up his phone as well.
Johann sent him screenshots of his chat history with Luca.
Luke clicked on the screenshots and read their conversation.
Johann told Luca the things they agreed on, which was basically about Wanda's unstable
emotions, but she had calmed down now after taking sedatives.
Luke deleted the screenshots.
Although Luca would not check his phone, he was a meticulous person, especially when it
came to matters regarding reuniting his family. He could not leave a single trace behind.
The more he cared about Luca, the more careful he was.
Not long after Luke put down his phone, Luca walked out of the bathroom.
The lights in the bedroom were dim, but Luke could sense frustration on her face. He could
not see her clearly, so he pretended not to notice.
“Let's go to bed. It's getting late." He lifted the blanket.
Luca nodded and placed her phone on the bedside table as she lay down.
Luke covered her with the blanket.
To indicate to Luca that he was not in a good mood, he did not get handsy with her and
just put his arms around her waist.
However, trying to control himself when the woman he loved was in his arms was torture.
It was too great a temptation.
However, he could only resist...
Deep down, Luke cursed the Island of Despair about a million times.
The next day, Luca woke up early. Luke got up the moment she woke up.
"Good morning." Luca looked a little dazed as she had spent the night tossing and turning.
She only managed to fall asleep after Luke suggested she take a melatonin pill.
However, she had a nightmare, and the thought of it frightened her even after she had
woken up.
Seeing Luke beside her, Luca felt more at ease. The frown caused by her nightmare
started to loosen up too.
"Good morning." Luke leaned down and pressed his lips on her forehead.
"Good morning." Luca rubbed her eyes. Even after a night's rest, she felt as if she had not
rested at all.
Nonetheless, she still got up.
After the two washed up, they went downstairs.
Aunt Neile had already prepared breakfast and was about to serve it up when she saw
them coming down.
However, Luke said, "Pack up breakfast for me. I'll have it on the way."
Aunt Neile nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
Luca looked at him. "Why don't you eat at home before going to the company?"
"I have some work to deal with, so I need to leave early today," Luke explained to her.
Luca's heart sank at the thought of his conversation with Johann last night. Luke was
probably not going to the office but to the hospital.
How was he going to explain it to Wanda?
"Alright." Luca did not say anything else as she was trapped here because of her identity.
Her hands were tied.
She wanted to go to the hospital to visit Wanda, Queenie, and Old Man Rayne too...
Then, Aunt Neile handed the packed breakfast to Luke. "Your breakfast, sir."
"Thanks, I'll be going to the company now." Luke glanced at Luca.
"Alright." Luca glanced at his back and did not look away for some time.
Aunt Neile noticed her absent-mindedness and coughed sheepishly before saying, "Ms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCraw, would you like to have breakfast now?"
"Let me do it. Aunt Neile, can you please go upstairs to see if the kids are up?" Luca
withdrew her gaze and went into the kitchen.
When she was heading downstairs, she could not stop thinking about her nightmare, to
the point that she did not even check if the kids were up.
Only when she did not see them downstairs did she realize that they had not come down.
Aunt Neile responded and went up to check on them.
On the other hand.
Contrary to what Luca thought, Luke did not go to the hospital. He knew that she would
not follow him, so he went to the company after leaving home.
Not long after he sat down, there was a knock on the CEO's office door.
"Come in." Luke turned on the computer and prepared to start work.
Gale opened the door and casually walked in.
Luke looked up at him, then looked away, not showing much surprise to see him here.
"Boss, you're early today. I don't think many of your employees have arrived," said Gale as
he sat across from him.
"You have to fake it till you make it," replied Luke as he logged into his email. Early this
morning, he saw that Gale had sent him an email.
He guessed that it was information about the Island of Despair, so he was not in a rush to
open it. He was waiting to open it after he arrived at the company.
"I sent you an email at midnight," said Gale.
"I'm reading it." Luke's eyes were fixed on the computer screen. The content of the email
was about all of the Island of Despair's bases in A City.
Gale discovered the characteristics of the Island of Despair's bases and sent his people to
investigate. Finally, he was able to get these addresses.
"These are definitely the Island of Despair's bases. There are still a few I'm not sure about,
so I'll have to send people to look into them."
Worried that the people from the Island of Despair would notice, his people were very
cautious when carrying out missions. They dared not make big moves so as not to alert
others, and their cautiousness made the investigation much harder.
