Female Novel
Chapter 1623
As soon as Eric heard that, he immediately praised Pierre, "That's smart! When will this matter end?"Based on the industry standards, they had to complete everything before they could receive anymoney. Pierre glared at him. "If Luke cares about this woman, he'll act soon. Why are you in such ahurry?" Eric was speechless when he heard that Luke Crawford was involved.
He was not afraid because Luke was involved. There were not many people who could get Luke'sattention. If he compromised because of a threat, he would have to compromise a lot.
What worried him was if Luke treasured the woman in the room.
The two seemed to be romantically linked...
If he and Derek were not able to escape in time, both of them would be sent to jail!
"What? Are you feeling dissatisfied? Do you think I'm not paying you enough?" Pierre asked when hesaw Eric keeping quiet.
Eric wailed in his heart. If he had known that this woman was involved with Luke, he would never havekidnapped her no matter how much money Pierre offered.
Nevertheless, there were rules. They had already started the task, so they had to obey the contract. Hequickly shook his head and said, "No, Boss. Don't worry, we'll keep a good watch over this woman."Pierre reminded him, saying, "Don't reveal anything else. This woman is very smart. Don't worry, shedidn't see your faces so all of the threats are empty. When this is over, I'll pay you immediately. You cantake the money and make a run to other cities."
Eric nodded and replied, "Yes, Boss."
Pierre was pleased and left. He was in a wonderful mood when he looked at the recorded video ofLuca being slapped. He planned to edit it and leave a copy for himself.
After he sent Pierre off, Eric went back to the house and saw Derek sitting there while drinking. Heasked, "Did you stop the bleeding for her?"
"Why should we do so when the boss didn't blame us?" Derek said indifferently.
Eric panicked when he heard that. "You fool! She's Luke's woman! The two of us will be doomed ifsomething happens to her. On top of that, the boss isn't planning to kill her. If you don't help her stopthe bleeding and she dies, how are we going to explain it to him? If Luke comes after us, the nature ofour crime will change."
Kidnapping and murder were different crimes.
Derek thought that what Eric said made sense, so he stood up immediately. "Damn, if I had known thatI could slap her as much as I wanted today, I wouldn't have done it yesterday. At least there'd be notrauma and it won't be as troublesome."
He knew that she would not die from getting slapped but she might die if her forehead wound keptbleeding.
It took a lot from them the night before to help Luca stop the bleeding. Now that Pierre had tortured her,they were afraid there would be more blood.
Derek walked into the room with Eric. They saw that Luca was still lying on the bed, unresponsive.
She was still bleeding from the wound on her forehead.
The blood from the wound ran down her temples and dripped onto the bed.
Eric quickly picked up some tissues nearby and pressed on her wound.
The tissues were quickly soaked with blood, and he got more.
He went back and forth like this. He pressed on her wound for more than ten minutes before thebleeding stopped. Derek looked at the pile of blood-stained tissues on the floor and said, "Howannoying! Why is this woman so weak?"
He had never met someone who could bleed so much.
Eric looked at Luca's swollen and pale lips. He kept silent and picked up the iodophor on the side todisinfect her wound.
"I hope the boss won't torture this woman tomorrow. Otherwise, she won't have enough blood left," hesaid.
Derek looked at Eric, who was carefully disinfecting Luca's wound with iodophor. He sneered, "If youweren't so timid and told the boss about it, he wouldn't have gotten anxious and come over."
"You know what the boss is thinking?" Eric was surprised.
"Of course. Don't tell me that you have no idea?" Derek scoffed.
Eric was silent. After he disinfected Luca's wound, he applied some merbromin.
They knew that it was helpful for healing wounds but nothing else.
After they were done, Eric asked, "Do you think she can eat dinner later in the condition that she's in?"
Derek looked at Luca's face which was badly swollen and snorted coldly. "I doubt she can eat in thiscondition. She won't die if she misses a meal. Let her go hungry."
After he said that, he left.
Eric followed suit.
When Luca woke up, she looked at the lit room and knew that it should be dark outside.
She did not struggle to get up because she knew that she must have lost too much blood. If shestruggled to sit up, she might fall forward.
She was already injured. She could not let herself get hurt even more. Otherwise, she might not beable to see the sun tomorrow.
Luca thought that she saw Luke when she was out cold. She thought that he had come to rescue her.
After she woke up, she realized that she was still in bed in the same room.novelbin
Sure enough, she had imagined things.
Luca laughed at herself. She was in a lot of pain when she tried to move the corner of her mouth. Shefelt like each nerve in her face was being tormented. She had no other feeling except pain...
It felt extremely uncomfortable.
Luca looked at the ceiling and thought that Luke would probably not give up on the project for her.
She was part of that project and knew how important the project was to him and T Corporation.
In Luke's eyes, she was just Luca, not Bianca. He would never give up this project for her.
If he was not going to save her, she had to wait for the people from the Island of Despair to do so.
However, someone with a temperament like Pierre did not have much patience.
She acted rashly by expressing her doubts to the kidnappers and inevitably forced him to show up.
She was in a bad condition after only two days. When Pierre sent Luke the video to blackmail him andhe did not make a move, she might have to suffer another round of torture. She was afraid of that.
Luca felt tired, and her whole face was in pain. In this state, could she last until the people from theIsland of Despair came to save her?
Although dying was not the worst option, Nyla was still on the Island of Despair.
If she died, Nyla would be useless to Abel. Since her father did not know of her existence, she wouldbe used by the people of the Island of Despair forever. When she came of age, she would be sent totrain. If she was lucky enough to be a good talent, she would be allowed to grow up. She would then beforced to carry out those bloody and cruel missions day after day.
Luca could not bear to imagine a fate as such for her little girl.
It was not time for her to die yet...
If dying was not an option, how could she save herself?
