Chapter 1322 Why Was She So Insistent
After Kari's rashes faded, she woke up in a blur and was in stable condition.
Kari apologized to Sue after she found out that she got sick because she gluttonously ate the peanutcandy given by a stranger. "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do it anymore."
Considering all that she went through, Sue did not want to blame her for what happened. She said,"You should thank Ms. Luca. We were lucky that she was nearby.’’
Kari looked at Luca, smiled sweetly, and said, "Thank you, Ms. Luca."
Luca smiled and was a little envious to see the kids cling to Sue's side. She said, "You're welcome."
Seeing that Kari was okay, Sue temporarily entrusted Kari and Teri to Luca and ran to the hospitalcounter to settle the bill.
Luca pinched Kari's cheek and then Teri's. Luca thought that Sue must trust her a lot to leave them withher.
After Sue paid the bill, she returned to the ward and looked at Luca. "Dr. Craw, thank you for helpingKari. Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner."
Luca did not turn her down. She nodded and said, "Okay."
With that, they left the hospital.
Luca stopped a taxi. It was not too packed for the two adults and two children to sit in the back. Sheasked, "Did you tell Mr. Doyle what happened today?"
"I only told him about Kari so that he won’t accidentally feed her peanuts in the future," Sue said. Whathappened had shocked her deeply.
Luca paused and reminded her. "I think you should tell him what happened with Bailey as well."
Bailey made it clear that she would not let Sue and the kids off easily. If Jason knew about it, he coulddo something.
Although she said she could protect them, she could not be there for them all the time.
Jason was Sue’s partner and the father of their children. These things were what he should do.
"Let’s forget about Bailey." Sue knew that if she told Jason about it, he would go after Bailey and beoverly protective whenever they went out.
He was occupied with work, and she did not want him to have another thing to worry about.
Luca knew what she was thinking about. If it were her, she would not want Luke to worry as well.
However, if she had asked Luke to accompany her or gone with his initial arrangements, maybe thingswould not be the way it was.
Abel had always wanted to take revenge on Luke. Since he failed on the day when Leia tried on thewedding dress, he would have found other opportunities.
She knew that Luke would have protected her. If she had listened to his advice, she might not havebeen abducted to the Island of Despair.
"I don't think that woman will give up so easily. She lost her dignity in front of so many people andcouldn't get her way even after involving Dean Winchester. I don't know what she’ll do next. Mr. Doyleis their father, he has the right to know this." Luca persuaded Sue earnestly.
Sue thought to herself and it seemed what Luca said made sense. Bailey seemed normal but wouldcross the line for Jason. Sometimes, she acted so mad that she did not seem normal.
Sue had a sad smile on her face. If she had the choice, she would not want to be involved with amadwoman as such." I'll talk to Jason about it when he comes back."
Luca nodded and did not say anything else. There was still some time before Jason's return. Duringthis period, she told herself that she would protect the three of them secretly.
Although she had her work to attend to, Amur had returned and could assist her in this matter.
After the meal, Luca insisted on sending the three of them home.
Sue wondered why she was so insistent since their house was out of her way.
Luca explained with a smile on her face, "It's getting late and I'm worried about your safety, so pleaselet me send you home."
"Isn't it unsafe for you to go home alone later?" Sue thought that Luca was weak and was worried forher safety if she had to take a taxi back home late at night.
"I learned a little bit of self-defense. Didn't Mr. Doyle tell you? I saved Mr. Crawford's youngest son froma group of gangsters. I took him in for a few days when he refused to go home." Luca told Sue aboutwhat had happened to reassure her.
Sue nodded when she heard what Luca said. She remembered when Luke asked Jason to sendpeople to search for Tommy day and night.
Although she thought Luca was overly cautious, Sue allowed her to send them home.
After she sent them home, Luca sat in the taxi and watched them walk in before asking the driver todrive off.
The taxi drove away slowly before the man standing in the corner walked out. He was wearing a cap,so his face was hidden.
The man took out his phone and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "The mission failed.Someone escorted them back. I didn't want to act rashly and alert them."novelbin
Bailey cursed at him, "You're a good-for-nothing! What were you afraid of? Was it a woman whoescorted her home? It’s just another woman, what are you afraid of?"
The man frowned as he listened to her insults. He was confident about taking on Sue and the kids evenif there were one more child. However, an adult would make much more noise compared to a child.Even if the task was successful, it might alert the others. If the task was unsuccessful, he would havealerted the enemy.
"It would be best if I could catch the four of them. I'm afraid that if one of them gets away, the situationwill be difficult to handle," the man explained.
Bailey wanted to mess with Sue but did not consider the point that the man raised. "What's so difficultabout it?
You're in the mafia, this is peanuts to you. She's just a sl*t who has no influence. I paid you so muchand if you can't do this well, you'll never hear the end of it!"
With that, she hung up the man's call.
The man put away his phone, his expression ugly. He spat on the ground and said, "What a b*tch. Thisis easier said than done. I was paid so little but asked to do so much and even got screamed at. Some
day, I'll get you."
Luca took the taxi back to the apartment. The living room was brightly lit. She pushed the door, walkedin, and saw Amur.
"Amur, have you had dinner?" She changed her shoes and hung all the clothes she bought on hangers.She planned to clean the place up later.
"I went downstairs and had a light dinner," Amur replied and knew why she was back so late afterseeing the shopping bags. He asked, "Did you go shopping today?"
