Chapter 1299 Keep an Eye on Her
Halfway through breakfast, Dr. Albus and the others also arrived at the restaurant.
Dr. Albus was surprised to see someone else sitting at Luca's table. He went over and greeted her,"You're up early today, Dr. Craw."
"Mm. It's a good habit to sleep and wake up early, Dr. Albus," Luca replied. She could tell that Dr. Albuswas going to pry into her personal matters again.
Dr. Albus smiled. He looked at Tommy, then at Amur.
Rhett had told him in the elevator that Luca was babysitting Tommy because Luke was away for abusiness dinner the night before.
He was not surprised that Tommy was together with Luca, but he was curious about the presence ofthe other man at the table.
He looked at Amur a little more closely and thought that Amur was quite handsome. "And this is?" Heasked.
"This is my younger brother. My parents adopted him," Luca elaborated because she knew that he wasgoing to ask that question.
"Oh, so he's your younger brother. He's quite handsome," Dr. Albus said with a smile. "Dr. Craw, aren'tyou from Russia? Why would your younger brother be in New York?"
Tommy did not like Dr. Albus. He replied, "That's because he's traveling, just like us, Grandpa Albus."
'Grandpa? Am I that old?' Dr. Albus was shocked. Tommy had never greeted him before.
Dr. Albus was angry, but he dared not say anything about it. He smiled and said, "That makes sense,Little Mr. Crawford.
I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go and have breakfast."
Luca nodded. She picked up a paper napkin and wiped some sauce from Tommy's mouth, i
She thought that the boy had been impertinent, but she did not think that he did the wrong thing.
It was quite ridiculous that Dr. Albus was such a gossip.
Tommy took a sip of milk and frowned. "I don't like that person at all, Ms. Luca. Why did he come toNew York with us?"
"Because he's very smart," Luca said with a smile.
Tommy poured.
Amur's phone vibrated. He glanced at it and said, "I'll have to go. I have some other businesselsewhere."
"Go then. Take care." Without looking at Amur's phone, Luca could guess who was looking for him.
Only someone from the Island of Despair could make Amur's expression turn grim...
Amur nodded, picked up his phone, and left.
Luca continued to eat her breakfast. She noticed that Tommy's place was still half full and guessed thatTommy did not have the appetite. "It's not good to waste food, Tommy," she said, 1
"I want to eat your cooking, Ms. Luca," Tommy said. After eating Luca's food, everything else seemedtasteless by comparison.
"I can't cook now because I’m rushing for time. If you eat some more, I'll promise that I'll cook for youwhen I'm free," Luca said.
"Alright!" Tommy happily agreed.
Luca smiled and continued to eat.
After breakfast, there was still some time before she had to leave. She planned to deliver Tommy backto Luke. Right when she stood up, she noticed Luke and Jason enter the restaurant.
"Alright, you should go," Luca said.
This time, Tommy did not cling to Luca. He walked over to Luke's side and said, "Good morning,Daddy!"
Luke nodded. He looked at Luca and walked toward her.
Luca was uneasy when she saw the man walk toward her. Did he want to speak to her? Dr. Albus andthe others were around...
However, she could not make up an excuse and leave the scene. That would be too suspicious.
Luca tried to remain calm as she looked at the man in front of him. His familiar masculine scent madeevery cell in her body tremble. "Good morning, Mr. Crawford." She had no choice but to greet him.
"Good morning." Luke nodded and stared at her for a few seconds. "Accept my friend request."
Luca was speechless. She thought that Luke had forgotten about it. After all, he did not mention it atthe hospital.
"Why?" Luke continued asking, seeing that she did not speak. "Is it inconvenient?"novelbin
"No," Luca said and shook her head, "The request expired."
When Luke heard that, he took out his personal phone, unlocked it, and tapped a few buttons. "Alright,you can accept it now. If you need to let me know something about my son, you can tell me directly."
In other words, he did not want her to contact Jason...
Luca took out her phone. She stole a glance at Jason and noticed that he was also looking at herwithout any intention to help.
With no other choice, Luca could only accept Luke's friend request.
"When you went out last night, were you going to meet with your younger brother?" Luke asked.
Luca nodded. "Yes."
After finding out that Solomon was not related to Abel, she guessed that the two people who tailed herwere Luke's subordinates.
Luke nodded, took Tommy's arm, and left.
Tommy turned around and winked at Luca. "Remember our promise, Ms. Luca..."
Luca breathed a sigh of relief and nodded as she watched Luke leave.
After Dr. Albus and the others finished their breakfast, the chartered car brought them to theconference venue.
In the car, Dr. Albus continued to try to pry information from Luca, but Luca only gave him perfunctoryreplies.
Seeing that he could not gain anything useful from Luca, Dr. Albus could only give up.
Meanwhile, Amur arrived at the appointed location to hand in the medicine he obtained from Solomon.Surprisingly, Abel was there to personally take the goods from him.
"Boss." Amur immediately lowered his head when he saw Abel.
Abel narrowed his gaze and flashed a sinister smirk. "I've heard that you've obtained the thing I want.Where is it?"
Amur handed the bottle to him.
Abel took the bottle and gently shook it. "I didn't expect that you'd risk your life just to stay by Ivana'sside."
Amur did not reply.
Abel continued, "You're also very lucky to be able to complete the mission."
"It was only a coincidence," Amur said.
"It can't be a coincidence. It'll be very difficult for us to obtain it if he managed to sell it, and not anynormal person could buy it. You're not only very lucky to get your hands on this medicine, but you'realso very capable. Have you met Ivana yet?" Abel said with a smile.
Amur nodded and lowered his head again.
Abel kept the bottle away and said, "I'm a man of my word. You can stay by Ivana's side, butremember, I'm letting you stay by her side not to protect her, but to keep an eye on her. Report to me ifyou see anything."
