Female Novel
Chapter 1497
Luca tried to read Luke’s expression, but he did not express any emotion on his face.
“Should I prepare anything?” She knew that she could not refuse, so she asked him more questions,hoping to find out what he wanted from her.
“No,” Luke said and left her office. He did not give her any chance to ask any more questions.
Luca was speechless as she watched the door close. Judging from Luke’s attitude, he did not seemlike he wanted to ask her out on a date. If that were the case, why else would Luke ask her out?
She could not think of a reason…
However, she was quite relieved that Luke did not ask too much of her.
The next day, Luca went downstairs at half-past seven in the morning. True to his word, Luke’s car wasparked next to the neighborhood entrance, and he was already waiting for her.
As she approached the car, Luke got out of the driver’s seat and opened the door on the other side forher.
“Good morning, Mr. Crawford,” she greeted him.
“Good morning. Let’s go,” Luke said tersely.
Luca bent over slightly and stepped into the car. When she wanted to close the door, she found thatLuke had already closed the door.
Silently, she fastened her seatbelt while watching Luke walk around the car.
Luke returned to his seat, fastened the seatbelt, and started driving.
Luca noticed that he did not turn on the navigation app, which meant that he was quite familiar with thedestination. After a while, she could not hold back her curiosity anymore and asked, “Mr. Crawford,where are we going?”
“The prison,” Luke said truthfully.
“Prison?” Luca was discreetly shocked when she heard that. She tried to guess the reason Lukewanted to bring her to visit a prison. She knew that he was not going to detain her – After all, if he reallywanted to do so, he would not have sent her to prison.
She was afraid that she might see someone she knew in the prison, for example, Amur…
She had tried to contact Amur again for the past few days, but Amur remained uncontactable. That onlymade her more anxious than ever.
“Mm. I need your help,” Luke said. Even though he had told her where they were going, he did not tellher the reason why.
Luca felt a little relieved when she heard that he wanted her to help, instead of bringing her to meetsomeone she knew. Perhaps Luke had a friend who was injured in prison and needed medicalattention.
After helping Queenie and the impostor Bianca, it was not surprising that Luke and Johann trusted inher abilities.
“Alright,” Luca said. He did not tell her any more details, and she did not ask for them either.
In any case, she would find out about it when she was there.
Even though Luca was born and raised in A City, she had never gone to visit the prison other thanvisiting Marie once.
The world outside those prison walls was a free and democratic one. Things were the opposite withinthose walls. The prison inmates were bound by strict rules.
Only criminals would be sent there.
Ever since she was abducted to the Island of Despair, Luca had lost contact with Marie. However, itwould be several more years before Marie would be released.
In any case, she was not very close to Marie anyway. After Luca returned, she did not bother catchingup with her.
Luca walked next to Luke. They met up with the lawyer, and Luca realized that Johann was there too.
“Good morning, Dr. Park,” she greeted him.
Johann waved at her. “Good morning, Dr. Craw. Have you had breakfast?”
“I have,” Luca replied with a smile. She enjoyed Johann’s presence; his jovial attitude could light up anyroom. “How about you, Dr. Park?” She asked.
“Of course I have. We have a major task on our hands today,” Johann said. He noticed that only Luke’scar was parked by the roadside, so he asked, “Did you come here in his car?”
“Yes,” Luca said and nodded.
“Sigh, that man is playing favorites. He asked me to come, but he didn’t want to give me a ride. It tookme two and a half hours to get here. How tiring!” Johann grumbled though he maintained the smile onhis face. “When are you going to treat me equally, Mr. Crawford? You could’ve brought me along. Yourcar can definitely fit another passenger, right?”
Luke shot a cold glance at him. “I know you love driving, and I don’t think you’d be happy sitting in thebackseat.”
Johann shrugged. He had bought a new car recently, and he was quite fond of driving it. He only saidwhat he said earlier to make fun of Luke. He continued, “That’s not necessarily true. I’d be happy to sitat the back if there’s a beautiful lady in the car. I won’t give you any trouble.”
Luke was inexplicably unhappy when Johann mentioned Luca, but he did not show it on his face.
The lawyer said, “I’ve made the necessary arrangements, Mr. Crawford. You can go in after you signhere.”
Luke nodded and signed on the form.
Luca saw that it was the standard form for visitors. She and Johann signed their names on theirrespective forms.
After that, the lawyer brought them to the visiting room.
“I didn’t expect that I would get to make a day trip to the prison again,” Johann said.
Luke did not say anything.
Luca did not say anything either. She guessed that Luke should know more than her, but she was notgoing to ask anything when Luke was around.
The lawyer stopped in front of the entrance of the visiting block and spoke to Luke, “Mr. Crawford,Mdm. Tanner doesn’t want to meet you. She only wants to meet the doctors.”
When Luca heard “Mdm. Tanner,” she knew that she was going to meet Allison.
She turned her head to look at Luke.
Luke was looking at the lawyer with a frown.
The lawyer felt a chill coursing down his spine. He said, “That is Mdm. Tanner’s request.”
“You two go in. I’ll wait here,” Luke said that and nothing else.
Luca and Johann nodded. They followed the lawyer inside.
Now that Luke was not around, Luca dared to ask Johann for more information. She whispered,“What’s the situation, Dr. Park?”novelbin
“It’s a long story. Just be mentally prepared.” That was all Johann said.
Seeing that Johann was not willing to say much, Luca could only nod.
Johann asked, “We’ll be meeting Luke’s mother. Have you seen her before?”
“Yes,” Luca replied without thinking. She soon realized that Luke’s mother was sent to prison threeyears ago, and Luca should not have seen her.
She immediately explained, “I’ve checked Mr. Crawford’s information on the Internet. There werephotos of him with his mother.”
