Female Novel
Chapter 1502
Luke listened to her explanation and asked the question that Allison was most concerned about, “Canher skin be cured?”
Luca stayed silent for a while and told him the worst-case scenario, “Even if we find out what thechemical substance is, the condition of her face may not be reversed. It’s been too long. All I can do isguarantee that the skin on her face will no longer deteriorate. It would be very difficult for it to return toits original appearance.”
Luke nodded and understood the logic behind her statement.
If Allison had not been stubborn and insisted on standing against Luke, her situation would not haveprogressed to where it was now.
“Mr. Crawford, the other skincare products used by Ms. Tanner are all well-known brands except forthis serum… I think someone deliberately harmed your mother,” Luca said.
Luke nodded. During that time, his attention was on Bianca and T Corporation. He did not know muchabout Allison’s situation, but if someone had deliberately plotted against her, he would be able toinvestigate it even though three years had passed.
Luca was puzzled seeing him nodding without saying anything else.
She wanted to remind Luke about the two sisters who had served Allison before.
However, she was Luca, not Bianca. Hence, it was not her place to say anything.
Luke noticed that she seemed hesitant to speak and asked, “Do you have anything else to add?”
“No, Mr. Crawford. I’ll report to you when I find out more about the chemical substance. I’m going tohead back to my office now.” Luca picked up the documents and stood up.
Luke did not say anything. After he reacted with a hum, he continued to look at his documents.
When Luca walked to the entrance of the office, she heard him say, “This is not that urgent, so don’tstay up late because of it.”
She did not look back but touched her face.
After pulling an all-nighter, her skin condition must be very bad, not to mention the dark circles underher eyes.
‘Would Luke think that I rushed this to please him?’
Luca did not dare to think too much and hurriedly left with the files. She ran into Jason in the corridor.
“Dr. Craw, are you done?” he asked with a smile.
Luca nodded and replied, “It was a simple update with Mr. Crawford on the analysis done yesterday.”
“Simple?” Jason looked at the dark circles under her eyes and said, “Dr. Craw, the dark circles underyour eyes from staying up all night is obvious. If the task is urgent, Mr. Crawford will tell you. If he didn’tsay anything, you don’t have to work overtime for it. “novelbin
Luca smiled and replied, “I know.”
“Madam’s situation…” Jason checked in on Allison. Considering that she was about to be releasedfrom prison, if her condition did not get better, Luke may never hear the end of it.
“Terrible.” Luca was honest.
When Jason heard her reply, he sighed and shook his head. “That’s it, the Crawford family will neverhave peace.”
Luca knew what he meant.
As the mistress of Luke’s father, Allison had always lived the life of a socialite. Her favorite pastime wascompeting with Susan Armstrong. Now that her face had become as such, she would be ridiculed andthe two would get into a catfight upon her return to Crawford Manor. In that situation, Luke would becaught in the middle.
“Mr. Doyle, I’m going downstairs first,” Luca said.
Jason nodded. He realized that he should not have discussed Luke’s family affairs in front of her, so hesaid, “Dr. Craw, don’t take what I said just now to heart.”
“I understand.” Luca knew what he meant.
In the afternoon, Rhett went to Luca with some updates.
Luca looked at the chemical composition report and frowned. The materials used to synthesize thechemical substance were very cheap. It was nothing close to being high-class.
However, such an inexpensive chemical substance could neutralize the alcohol, bleach, andfluorescent agent in the serum.
That was why when consumers used the product on their faces, they would not feel uncomfortable andthe effect was immediate.
Moreover, this chemical substance was comparable to a drug. It was just as addictive as manypsychotropic drugs.
To be precise, the skin would become dependent on this chemical substance. Once the consumerstopped using it, the skin would be dehydrated, the fat layer and the epidermis layer would separate,and there would be a strong reaction. Eventually, the consumer’s skin would end up like Allison’s skin.
The point was that it was irreversible.
Even if consumers used the serum again, the fat layer would no longer plump up and be able tosupport the skin.
“Sure enough, it’s irreversible.” Luca sighed helplessly after she read the report.
“Dr. Craw, there are not many chemical factories using this chemical substance. Cosmeticsmanufacturers would not dare to use it because once it’s detected, they would be fined. What beautyproduct did you find this substance in?” Rhett asked.
“It’s a product that has no name, no address, and no production and sanitation license code,” Lucasaid. Proper cosmetics research and development companies would not dare use such things but therewere always unscrupulous businesses that used the substance to obtain huge profits.
They would put it into production but products as such were not generally marketed and sold in themarket. Looking at the exquisite packaging, their target market should be socialites.
The two girls who served Allison before were probably one of the sales personnel.
Luca did not know how many people were using this unregistered skincare product. She filed a reportand sent it to Luke’s mailbox. She then sent another copy to Johann.
After a while, Johann called her.
“Dr. Craw, I didn’t expect you to find out about the matter so quickly. The blood analysis report justcame out.”
Luca listened to his words and asked in a neutral tone, “I’m guessing there weren’t any problemshighlighted in your report, right?”
It was difficult for that chemical substance to penetrate the blood vessels, but if the product was usedfor a long time, it would still affect the blood to some extent.
Although Allison’s face was in a terrible condition, the skin on her body was still normal. Hence, Lucaassumed that she had not used the serum for a long time, which was why it only affected her face. Thesubstance had yet to enter Allison’s bloodstream, so it did not affect other parts of her body.
“How did you know? That’s amazing.” Johann praised her. The woman on the other end of the phonewas indeed different from other women.
He had previously envied Luke for having a good wife like Bianca, and now he envied Luke for havingsuch a smart and capable subordinate.
“The skin on Ms. Tanner’s body isn’t affected, nor is her body function, so my guess is that she didn’tuse the serum for a long time. It has not caused systemic damage,” Luca explained her thoughtprocess.
“It’s a pity. There’s no systemic damage but the damage on the face is irreparable.” Johann sighed. Hewas familiar with this substance. Once used, the skin would be like an addicted individual who couldnever give up on the chemical substance.
Luca lowered her gaze. She was sure that Allison would cause trouble.
Whenever she made a fuss, Luke would never be at peace…
If Allison were not Luke’s mother, she would not stay up all night running analysis. It was unfortunatethat the results of this analysis would not help Allison’s condition.
