Chapter 2422

Gale clenched his teeth and said, “Boss, hang in there."

Then, he hit the accelerator and sped off.

In the villa.

Allison watched Gale drive off with Luke in the car through the security camera. She gritted her teeth inanger and stared angrily at Sophian.

Sophian was frightened. Allison was looking as though she wanted to devour her. A chill went down herspine, and she could not help but shudder for a moment. Then, she said in a soft voice, "Ms. Allison—"

"Shut up!" Allison interrupted her menacingly, "If it weren't for you dawdling there, how could Gale havebrought him away?"

If Sophian had mustered her courage and brought Luke upstairs, Allison would have had a way to stopGale.

They would not have ended up with Luke being taken away by someone else when they were carryingout their plan.

"Mr. Crawford was so frightening. I was scared..." Sophian quibbled for her cowardice withembarrassment.

It was normal for her to feel frightened when Luke stared at her like he would skin her alive.

After all, she had never come into contact with someone like him.novelbin

"He was almost yours, yet you were still afraid of him. Great. Our mission has failed. He'll never believein me again. He won't trust you either," Allison spoke without hesitation since the maid was not around.

Sophian almost cried after getting scolded by her. She replied, "Didn't the maid delay things too. Ms.

Allison, please stop blaming me."

"Does the maid have anything to do with your lack of courage? Besides, is she the one who wants tosleep with him or you?" Allison was harsh.

Sophian had always been putting all her eggs in one basket. It ended up a complete failure now.

She had no idea what Luke would do to her when he sobered up.

Allison became restless at the thought of this. She warned Sophian, "I told you that you had to bear theresponsibility if you failed this time. Don't drag me into this."

"Ms. Allison, I." Sophian was afraid. She was worried Luke would take revenge.

Sophian would be staying here for a few more days. Luke would have enough time to take revenge onher.

“Stop that. You promised me after I said that to you. That's how things ended up now. Plus, the securitycamera recorded the moment you sprinkled the powder into the wine glass. That'll be the evidence. Ican still prove my innocence to him. You'll only be safe if I'm fine," said Allison.

Sophian remembered that she had to depend on Allison to return to Seoul.

She had to make sure nothing happened to her. Hence, she nodded and agreed with Allison. "Okay.Ms. Allison. If Mr. Crawford comes after us, just tell him that it was my idea."

"It'll be best if you say that. If something happens to me, you won't be able to get away with it either."Allison turned off the computer screen of the security camera. Then, she turned around and left.

Sophian looked at Allison from behind. She felt like crying.

She was so close to getting Luke, but she was frightened by his piercing stare. She had gotten herselfin trouble now, and she lost.

Besides, Allison was shifting all the responsibility to her.

Sophian had no idea what she would have to face tomorrow...

Perhaps Allison would sacrifice her to save herself. She would be left with no choice at that time.

Gale was flying down the highway. The driving skills he had been practicing came in handy now.

He drove his way past the cars without concern about the situation of the road and the cars on theroad. He cut lines and overtook the other cars right away.

It was because the man in the car seemed to be on the verge of breaking down.

Gale noticed that Luke's face was red. If Luke did not soak himself in water or take the antidote now,his organs might not be able to take it.

"Urgh." Luke groaned in pain.

He clenched his fists, trying to control himself from unfastening the seat belt and thinking of Gale as awoman.

Gale shivered. He had seen such drugs on the Island of Despair. They were given to the women.Those women would submit to the men after taking the drugs. Then, they would be forced to becomethe slaves of the Island of Despair.

"Boss, hang in there. We're almost there. Besides, I'm a man," said Gale.

"Shut up!" Luke used up all his strength and scolded him. The burning desire in his body made himuncontrollably twist his body.

Luca, Luca.

Every cell in his body was thirsty for Luca's body.

"Boss, are you going there like this?" Gale asked. It was not too late yet. The kids might be frightenedto see him in such a state.

"I'll pretend. as if nothing happened." replied Luke.

Gale bit his lip. Would Luke be able to act as if nothing had happened?

This kind of drug had strong effects. Gale could say that he was drunk if he did not do anything to Luca.He was afraid that Luke would lose control the moment he touched Luca. Then, he would make somegestures.

The kids would be confused if they saw him doing that.

It would be a bad influence on the kids.

Luke had the same thing on his mind as Gale. He could endure it for a short while, but he would not beable to last long.

Besides, the night was still young. Even if Luca was willing to help him, the kids were there...

“Take the kids with you. Let them spend the night at your place." Luke's strength was coming back, butthe desire in his body was not gone yet.

That was the scariest thing about the drug.

He needed Luca.

Gale pondered for a moment. The three kids were good and obedient, and they would not cause anytrouble. Hence, he agreed to it, "Okay, Boss. We'll be arriving in five minutes. Hang in there."

The car was moving fast on the road. They arrived at the villa's entrance four minutes later.

Gale got out of the car first. He entered the passcode and drove the car into the compound.

He had already informed Luca while they were on the way back so that she would be prepared for this.

The moment the car came to a halt, Luca hurried over with a gloomy face. She pulled the car dooropen and saw Luke in such a state. Her face turned darker as she asked, "He's been drugged?"

"Yes, Dr. Craw. Please find a way to save him," Gale replied anxiously. He bent down and unfastenedLuke's seat belt.

Then, Gale and Luca helped Luke up.

"Boss, can you walk yourself?" Gale asked. It was difficult for him and Luca to help him walk.

Gale was planning to carry Luke on his shoulder and take him to the bedroom right away if he could notwalk.

"Luca.." Luke did not answer his question. He opened his eyes and stared at Luca with his face red.

"Mr. Crawford, I'm here. It's cold out here. Let's go into the house first." Luca held onto his waist to helphim up.

Gale did not help him to put on the coat when he sent him back. Luke was only wearing two layers ofclothes on him. He would catch a cold if he stood outside in the cold.

Luca turned to look at Gale.

Gale took the hint and said helplessly, "Boss has been calling your name since we got into the car justnow."
