Female Novel
Chapter 1644
Luca listened to the nurse's warning. Abel was taking a lot of effort to give her reminders.novelbin
He even arranged a nurse.
After all, there was no way the nurses responsible for the VIP wards could work here if they did not atleast have a few years of working experience.
Luca's heart could not help but tremble at the thought of Abel arranging a nurse here.
His plot was as big as a mesh net, densely wrapping her in it.
He was plotting something so big just to take revenge on Luke Crawford.
This man was insane.
The nurse finished telling her what she needed to. She packed her things and left.
Luca looked at her from behind. The helpless feeling in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.What should she do to make sure that she would not hurt Luke? At the same time, she needed to saveher daughter out from that place.
On the other hand.
After Luke left the ward, he met the police officers who came to handle the case.
The police officers were still watching the surveillance video. When they saw Luke come in, theygreeted respectfully, “Mr. Crawford."
“Found anything?" Luke glanced at the surveillance video and questioned.
The leader of the police officers felt pressured while facing Luke's cold demeanor. He shook his headhelplessly and said, "No, we're still looking into it."
"Any news on Pierre?" Luke continued to question. Based on what Percy had told him, Pierre wouldmake a move today.
"We haven't found anything either," the police officer replied awkwardly. It was not that they did notwant to arrest him. It was just that Pierre was way too cunning and it was difficult for them to find him.
Luke's eyes darkened.
The police officer thought he was going to blame them for their inefficiency, so he quickly explained,"Our colleagues are looking into it. We have people stationed at the airport, bus stations, and ports.We'll inform you immediately once there's any news."
Luke remained silent. Johann, who was beside him, smiled and shook his head. "He wouldn't be PierreMallory if we could find him that easily."
After he said that, a police officer came in hurriedly and said, “The suspects of the kidnapping case arewilling to cooperate and make their statements."
The leader of the police team stood up instantly. "Why the sudden change of minds?"
"Yes, they took the initiative and told us they'd like to explain everything," replied the police officer. Afterthey were rescued yesterday, they were reluctant to say anything at first. Today, they were suddenlywilling to give their statements. How surprising, indeed.
"Alright. Mr. Crawford, we'll take the statements from the suspects first," the leader of the police teamsaid. They needed the two suspects to cooperate with them to take care of this matter as soon aspossible.
Luke asked, "Can I listen to their statements?"
"I'm afraid it'll be inconvenient for you to do so. Please understand that we have to follow the standardprocedures of our jobs," the leader of the police team answered awkwardly.
Luke did not make things hard for them. He watched the police officers leave and returned to Luca'sward.
The nurse had already packed and left the ward.
Luca was alone in the ward. Luca, who was lying on the ward bed, was startled by the sound of thedoor opening when Luke pushed the door open. She glanced at the door and realized it was Luke. Shefelt much calmer after that.
"Did I startle you?" Luke noticed her small gestures.
Luca shook her head, telling him that she was fine. Luke showed up when she was thinking aboutAbel's warning. An endless stream of sorrow and a feeling of weakness filled up her heart.
She wanted him to hug her. However, with their relationship now, she had no right to ask for a hug.
Luca picked up her phone and typed: [Did the police find anything?]
"No, but the two kidnappers want to meet with the police officers. They claim that they want to explaineverything," replied Luke.
Luca kept silent. It was likely that they suddenly wanted to clarify things because they had receivedPierre's order.
No matter what, they were already charged with the offense. Regardless of what they admitted to, theywould still be sent to jail all the same. If they covered up for Pierre, they would only be in jail for an
extra two years.
Luca knew it would be difficult for the police officers to hold Pierre accountable.
In the end, it was the Mallory family who helped him. They had their ways to cover up for him, and shedid not want to put Luke on the spot.
Luca typed on her phone: [I heard those two say that they've committed other crimes before, but theyalways managed to escape without getting tracked by the police. You should tell the police this.]
"They'll come over to take your statement after they're done dealing with the suspects. You canmention this to them then." Luke looked at her as she lay on the ward bed. He was heartbroken to seeher unable to speak.
Pierre Mallory...
He wished to tear him into pieces, but it was not the time yet.
Luke had gone against many people for Bianca's sake, which included the Tanner family and someother wealthy families in A City. He did not give a damn about them and got rid of them at once.
The only one left now was Pierre. He would formulate a plan to deal with him.
[Alright.] Luca looked at the man who was deep in his thoughts. She reckoned that he would hold agrudge against Pierre for this.
Half an hour later, the police officers came in and told them that they would like to take Luca'sstatement.
Luca communicated with the police officers using her phone while Luke watched over her. She toldthem everything she knew and finished giving her statement.
The police officers were deep in thought for a few seconds after she was done giving her statement.One of them said, "Mr. Crawford, the suspects claim that they're the ones behind this. They borrowedthe villa from their friend, and they had no idea that it's Pierre's villa. They took the video only after theywere given money to do so. They didn't know they would be using such means to force you to give upthe project."
Luke had already expected the police officers to say that.
“This has nothing to do with Pierre Mallory, right?”
“This is only our speculation. But so far, the evidence has proved that this has nothing to do with PierreMallory,” the police officer replied awkwardly.
Although the villa belonged to Pierre, those kidnappers claimed that they borrowed it from anotherperson. As long as proper arrangements were done, Pierre would not get dragged into this mess.
Luke's face turned gloomy. He did not say a word.
The police officer rubbed his nose and said, "Ms. Craw, if there's nothing else you'd like to add, we'll beheading back to arrange the statements now."
Luca typed on her phone. [Alright.]
Then, the police officer said again, “Mr. Crawford, we're going back to handle the case."
Luke did not say anything.
After the police officers left, Luke felt defeated. He stared at Luca and expressed the guilt in his heart.“I'm sorry.”
From just this simple sentence, Luca could hear the helplessness in his voice.
She did not blame him.
If she was Bianca, he would risk everything to find Pierre to take care of this.
However, she was a stranger to him now. Even though the pain she suffered this time was because ofhim, a simple apology from him was enough for her.
