Chapter 1310 Intangible Hostility
Luke held Tommy’s hand, and the two people went into the room and sat on the couch.
The room was quite spacious, but once Luke stepped inside, Luca felt the space shrink.
Even though it was quite cramped, she thought that it was inexplicably homely.
Now that the father and son had staked out the couch, Luca could only sit on the swivel chair and lookat them.
Tommy was the first to break the silence. "Ms. Luca, have you had dinner?"
"I was about to," Luca shook her head and said. She might still be sleeping if she had not been wokenup by the doorbell. After taking the antidote, she had to sleep for long periods to recover.novelbin
Tommy looked at the time, and his expression suddenly became stern. "You shouldn't eat dinner solate, Ms. Luca. That's not good for your health."
Luke glanced at the meal cart in the room. He noticed that there was still some breakfast on it. It musthave been the room service he had ordered for her, and she did not eat much.
"Have you been sleeping the entire day?" He asked. When Luca opened the door earlier, her hair wasin a mess as
though she had just woken up.
"I took a sleeping pill," Luca explained.
Luke nodded. Tommy tugged his shirt sleeve and whispered to him, "Daddy, you should order somefood for Ms. Luca."
When Luca heard that, she quickly said, "It's fine. I'll go downstairs and find a restaurant."
"The restaurants are all closed by now," Luke said. He stood up and walked over to the bed.
Luca had only just woken up and had not made the bed yet. A corner of the blanket was untucked, andthere was a slight depression on the mattress. He thought that if he placed his hand on the bed, hecould feel the warmth of her body.
He looked away. Then, he picked up the phone receiver and ordered a steak for Luca.
Luca sat on the chair while kneading her hands. After she saw him put the phone receiver down, shesaid, "I don't need any special employees' benefits, Mr. Crawford."
Luke turned around and looked at her. "Who told you that these are employees' benefits?"
Luca was at a loss for words. He was the one who told her in the message that those were employees'benefits. If they were not, what are they then?
She wondered what Luke was thinking right now.
Seeing that she was silent, Luke returned to the couch and sat next to Tommy. Ever since he first mether, he thought that she seemed familiar, especially when she spoke.
However, she did not speak on most occasions. Most of the time, she was silent.
At least, that was how she behaved in front of him.
Luke broke the silence and said, "After Dr. Albus and the others returned to the hotel last night, Mr.Doyle arranged for them to go to the hospital and have their blood samples taken."
"What about it?" Luca's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She knew that Luke would want toget to the bottom of the matter. He probably was not going to do it for the company, even though the
company might suffer huge losses after the network was hacked.
He looked like he was doing it for her...
Luca stared at his impassive face. Was it a hallucination?
Luke felt an odd sense of familiarity when their eyes met. He composed himself and said, "There's amysterious substance in their blood."
Luca nodded. She knew that even though Shanks was a genius in inventing drugs, he could not inventa drug that would leave no trace in the human body. The drug would have to be slowly ejected from thebody after it had taken effect.
"Did Dr. Park say what it is?" She asked, pretending that she was oblivious.
"They're still analyzing it," Luke said as he looked at Luca's
calm face. Anyone would have feared for their lives if they encountered such a harrowing incident, butLuca seemed unfazed.
She was angry after he told her what happened, but that was the extent of her reaction.
The doorbell rang once more. Luca thought that it was the room service, so she stood up and went toopen the door.
Luke noticed that she was walking normally. She had probably recovered by now.
Luca opened the door and was slightly shocked when she saw the person standing outside. "Amur, isthere anything?"
"I'm here to visit you." Amur was a head taller than Bianca, and he could see what was in the room. Hefrowned when he saw Luke and Tommy sitting on the couch. "You have guests."
Luca nodded. Thinking that it would be suspicious if she asked Amur to leave now, she said, "Comein."
Amur walked into the room and nodded at Luke and Tommy. "Good evening, Mr. Crawford," he saidsomewhat courteously.
"Good evening." Luke returned the greeting. He was not too surprised because he knew that Amur wasalso staying in the hotel.
When the two men exchanged gazes, Luca could sense the intangible hostility between them.
She knew that Amur had never liked Luke. He thought that
Luke's failure to protect her had caused her to be abducted to the Island of Despair.
For the past three years, Luke had never found her or even suspected that Luca was Bianca. To Amur,that was a sign of weakness.
No matter how much Luca had tried to convince Amur, his impression of Luke had never changed.
"You can sit on the chair," Luca said to Amur while pointing at the swivel chair.
Amur was not interested in sitting on the same couch as Luke. He did what Luca told him to.
With the couch and chair occupied, Luca could only sit on the bed.
Tommy hopped off the bed and sat next to Luca. ”Ms. Luca, can I sleep over tonight?" ’
Luca patted Tommy's head. Before she could answer, Luke spoke first," No."
Tommy wanted to argue for himself, but his father's stern gaze made him change his mind. 'Ms. Lucaisn’t feeling well, so I shouldn't disturb her,' he thought.
Luke glanced at Amur, then at Luca. According to his subordinates, they had lost Luca's trail near theaddress given by Paul.
Then, there was the piece of news from yesterday...
"Dr. Craw, have you read the news?" Luke said slowly.
"I haven't had the time to read the news. What's wrong?" Luca could guess what he wanted to say.
"The police interrogated the two students yesterday, and one of them gave the police some informationabout the supplier of the venom. Yesterday, the supplier was found dead in an alley. The police thoughtthat it was only a conflict between rival gangs, but what do you think about it? " Luke asked. He wasvery curious about what she did the night before yesterday.
Even though she had said that she went away to meet her younger brother, Luke thought that therewas something more to it.
