Chapter 1274 Luke Was Poisoned
After finding out that the tracker was cheap and mass- produced, Luca was almost sure that theincident was unrelated to Abel.
She smashed the tracker into pieces and tossed it into the trash can.
She was a lot more relieved when she found out that Abel was not involved in the incident. Afterwashing her face and brushing her teeth, she lay on the bed.
Meanwhile, the police arrested William and Paul and brought them to the police station. Jason followedbehind the police car so that he could see the incident to its completion.
William and Paul were handcuffed and placed in the same room. They waited for the family lawyer toarrive before the questioning started.
"What should we do now?" William asked worriedly as he looked at his handcuffed hands.
He was born in a wealthy family, and even though he had frequently gotten himself in trouble since hewas young, he had never been arrested by the police before. His family might be rich and influentialenough to bail him out, but he had indeed injured someone.
The incident might leave him with a criminal record, and his father would not forgive him if thathappened.novelbin
"What's there to worry about? Relax. Your parents will definitely bail you out. As for me... sigh. Whatare you worried about if I'm not even worried?" Paul said. He was not as wealthy as William, and he didnot have a family lawyer, but he was much more composed than William.
"That man looks quite powerful." William was not as optimistic. After cutting Luke, he noticed that thosepeople had stepped out of a Rolls-Royce.
There were less than ten of those cars in the entire New York, so William could tell that the man wasrich, influential, or both.
He was afraid that his family was not as influential as that man.
The more William thought about it, the more anxious he got. His hands that rested on the table beganto tremble.
Paul smirked nonchalantly. "Just relax. That man definitely won't press charges. In fact, he might evenneed your help.”
"Why do you say that?" William did not understand. Seeing how composed his friend was, he thoughtthat he should not be so anxious too.
"You'll see," Paul said as he shook his legs.
He had coated the Swiss army knife with poison before handing it to William. The poison and thetracker were bought in the black market.
According to the man who sold him the poison, once the poison was applied to an open wound, itwould take two hours to take effect.
He originally wanted to use the poison on William, but he did not expect that it was used on that maninstead.
Paul was confident that the man would not press charges because he knew that the man needed theantidote from them. Of course, the man would still be angry, but Paul would push the blame on Williamand get off scot-free.
After all, William was the one who hurt that man with a knife.
William did not know that Paul was plotting something against him. He nodded, leaned back on hischair, and looked at the clock on the wall. "Why isn't the lawyer here yet?" He said impatiently.
"There's no rush. It's almost time," Paul said. He could see that it was almost two hours.
Luca had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by the shrill ring of her phone. She opened hereyes, and before she came to her senses, her finger instinctively tapped on the button to answer thecall.
"Hello," she said.
"Ms. Luca? Come here, quick. There's something terribly wrong with Daddy..." Tommy said anxiously.
Luca immediately sat up. "What happened?" She asked.
"Daddy seems very ill. Please come here faster, Ms. Luca. Boo hoo hoo, he looks like he's in pain."Tommy stood next
to the bed and looked at the man on the bed.
Tommy was already sleeping, but he was woken up by a loud growl. He could tell that the noise camefrom Luke's bedroom, so he went over to take a look.
He realized that Luke had been growling, but no matter how much he called for Luke, Luke did notseem to respond.
Tommy was worried and afraid. He immediately thought of Luca, so he took Luke's phone and calledher.
Hearing that the boy was about to cry, Luca quickly got out of bed and wore the hotel slippers. She leftthe room without even putting on a coat.
"Don't cry, Tommy. I'll come upstairs now, but I don't have the access card, so I'll need your help. Bringyour access card to my floor, and I'll go up with you. Did you get that?"
Tommy could see that Luke's lips were already turning purple. He tried to hold back his tears when heheard Luca's comforting voice, then nodded and replied, "Alright, Ms.
Luca. I'll go to you."
With the phone in one hand and the spare access card in the other, Tommy ran out of the suite. He hadtaken the elevator the night before, so he managed to find Luca quickly.
When Luca stepped into the elevator, Tommy pounced on her and hugged her. "I'm so scared, Ms.Luca."
"Don't be. I'll go and check on him." Luca took Tommy's access card and tapped it on the sensor in theelevator.
Before the elevator attendant realized what was going on, Luke closed the elevator doors.
Tommy had tried to hold back her tears, but he could no longer stop them from falling the moment hesaw Luca.
Luca's heart wrenched when she saw him being so sad. She wiped Tommy's cheeks with the back ofher hand. "Alright, don't cry. Your Daddy will be fine."
Tommy continued to sob. He was a child after all, and he was shocked by Luke's sudden change. Hehugged Luca tightly, as though she might disappear the moment he let go.
The elevator attendant did not know what was going on." What happened, Ma'am?" He asked.
"It's nothing," Luca replied. When the elevator arrived at their destination floor, Luca picked up Tommyand hugged him.
She did not know what happened to Luke, but she could see that Tommy suffered a shock. Hugginghim would give him a sense of safety.
After leaving the elevator, Luca quickly walked toward the entrance to the suite and opened the door."Is your Daddy in the bedroom?" She asked.
"Mm." Tommy wiped his tears. Luca placed him on the floor, and he led the way.
The moment Luca stepped into Luke's bedroom, she could smell something sharp in the air.
She went close to Luke's bed and found that he had thrown up-
"Ms. Luca..." Tommy could see that Luke's condition was worse than ever.
"Your Daddy will be fine.” Luca placed her fingers on Luke's wrist and took his pulse. Luke's breathingwas very shallow, but his pulse was irregular.
Luca looked under Luke's eyelids, then undid the bandage on his arm.
After the bandages were undone, she could see that Luke's wound had turned black.
'He's poisoned...'
Luca knew that there were no problems with the powder. The only other thing that could have causedthe poisoning was William's Swiss army knife.
Why is Daddy like this, Ms. Luca?" Tommy was very afraid.
