Chapter 2487
Luke nodded as Percy's hypothesis seemed possible.
Otherwise, there would not be ships going in and out there.
Winter had just passed, so it was still freezing over there. The weeds on the island had withered andleaves had fallen off the trees. That was how his people discovered them.
As for the new materials Percy mentioned, there may not be a lot in the market right now and thetechnology may not be particularly advanced, but they could tell from Luca's medical skills that the levelof technology on the Island of Despair was much higher than the technology available to them, so itmight be possible...
Besides, Johann had mentioned before that the person who taught Luca medicine must be a medicalguru, and that even he was no match for him in certain aspects.
“We've found the place, so what are you going to do now?" Percy crossed his hands in front of hischest enthusiastically.
If Luke asked him to sweep the Island of Despair, he would be able to do so, even if the stronghold wasunderground.
"Don't make any moves for now. We still have to continue observing," said Luke.
"Why?" Percy asked with his eyebrows raised. He did not understand what he was trying to do. Was hegoing to wait until the enemy made the first move?
"Luca won't obey their instructions for no reason, so they must have something up their sleeve. I needto dig deeper, and.." Luke's gaze grew deeper. He wanted to rip those who hurt Luca apart with his ownbare hands, but he had to suppress it. "You know the fake Bianca?"
"Yeah." Percy nodded.
"The fake Bianca died of poisoning because she didn't take the antidote in time. Until now, Gale andRain still can't collect the poison sample from fake Bianca's blood, let alone develop an antidote. I'mworried that Luca is also controlled by this drug," said Luke.
If they acted rashly without an antidote, they would only put Luca in danger.
He had already lost her once. He could not bear the pain of losing her again,
Destroying the Island of Despair was a precise but crude procedure. He could not predict whether hewould be able to find a sample of the antidote for Luca while attacking the island. If there was noantidote, Luca would only have a month left to live.
Luke secretly felt like the research Luca was doing now may be the antidote.
“When you put it that way, I guess acting rashly is not the way to go." Percy nodded in understanding. Itseemed like they had to continue mapping out a plan.
"Continue observing," said Luke. As long as they did not alert the enemy, everything would be fine.
"Okay, that's all I have to tell you. I'll let you know if we find anything else. I'll head back now. Nina iswaiting for me," Percy said. After returning to A City, he sent Nina home first before hurrying over hereto tell Luke about this.
"Alright, thank you." Luke walked out of the gazebo with him and uttered his heartfelt thanks.
Percy was stunned and looked back at him in surprise. "This is one of the few times you thanked me,and every time, you sound weirdly excited.
"I do?" Luke knew why.
Apart from Luca's matter, every time Percy helped him, he would only keep it in mind and find a chanceto repay him later.
He would only say thank you when it came to Luca as this favor was so huge that he did not know whatelse to do to show his gratitude.
That was because Luca was more important to him than his own life.
"Yes, you're always more serious when the matter involves Luca." Percy smiled and patted hisshoulder before turning to leave.
Luke looked inside the mansion, and his gaze traveled upward to his study because coincidentally, thegarden could be seen from that room.
Was Luca still there?
The thought of her delicate face made the fire inside Luke start to burn up.
She was like poison, sweet and addictive.
Luke quickly walked back inside.
Just as he was about to go to Luca, he saw her coming downstairs with Vivian.
Vivian saw Luke and said smilingly, "Mr. Crawford, thank you for taking me in."
"You're welcome. This is your home now. By the way, what are you two doing?" Luke felt a littlehelpless when he saw Luca with her.
It was not like he could carry Luca up to the bedroom in front of Vivian...
"I want Luca to teach me how to make some tasty little snacks," Vivian said with a smile.
"Okay, go ahead." Luke looked at Luca meaningfully.
If she was the one who suggested it, she might be able to hide for now, but at night, she would stillhave to surrender to him.
It was only the afternoon. He just had to endure a little while longer.
After Percy left Luke's house, he rushed back to his house.
He was only away for a short time, but he missed Nina already.
It was not yet time for work, so the maid was not there yet. After parking the car, he walked into thehouse as his Nina was waiting for him inside.
“Honey, I'm home!" Percy yelled loudly as he was worried that Nina could not hear him from the secondfloor.
When he got to the entrance, he noticed the strange atmosphere and stared straight at Madam Mallory,who was sitting on the sofa.
Nina was standing not far across from her.
The atmosphere was solemn, and when Percy's and Nina's eyes met, he could see her uneasiness.
He cast her a look to reassure her. It was just Madam Mallory. He had never felt comfortable aroundher anyway.
"Why are you here?" Percy took off his coat and simply hung it up. He then changed his shoes beforewalking into the living room.
"This is your mansion, and I'm your mother. Why can't I come?" Madam Mallory looked up and askedunenthusiastically.
Percy frowned. The security here was not as tightly regulated as in Luke's neighborhood.
Even if he had instructed them before, the security guards recognized Madam Mallory, so they wouldjust let her in.
Perhaps he should consider moving. Being neighbors with Luke was not such a bad idea.
Although all the properties in Luke's neighborhood were occupied, what could he not buy with money?
He did not like the idea of staying in a second-hand house, but if he did not move now, Nina might facethe same situation in the future. He did not want to make things difficult for Nina.
Percy walked over to hold Nina's hand, and he said, "What do you want?"
"During the New Year, your grandfather tried all sorts of methods, yet he still couldn't get you to goback. I even thought that someone had lured your soul away. If I don't come to visit you, you mightforget who your own mother is, right?" Madam Mallory said gloomily.novelbin
Percy smirked as her mockery did not trigger him at all. Instead, he said coldly, "Old Master Malloryhad said before that I'm not welcome back home. If I go back, won't I upset the Old Master?"
"You know not to upset the old master, but you still insist on being with this woman? Also, what did youcall her just now? Do you think you can just call anyone that? She'll never become the daughter-in-lawof the Mallory family," Madam Mallory said coldly. If the property management did not recognize her,she would not have been able to enter at all.
