Chapter 1753

The female doctor replied, "She's asleep. Don't worry. We added a drug that puts her to sleep in the IVdrip to prevent her from crying and causing us any trouble."

The maid nodded.

The female doctor looked at Nina's face and sighed quietly. "She's hardly considered a stunningbeauty. Her figure is slim and looks good, but she's way too skinny in some parts. She's different fromthe other women Boss used to be with."novelbin

The two doctors were private doctors whom Pierre had hired. That was why they knew most of Pierre'sex-girlfriends.

The maid said, "As ordinary as she looks, this woman seems to be Boss' favorite. Now, stop talkingnonsense. You'll probably get into trouble in the future if she can hear you. Judging from her situationnow, she's going to submit to the boss sooner or later."

"She's asleep now. She can't hear any of this. Relax," said the female doctor. The IV drip had justfinished. She pulled off the needle, pressed on the injection spot for a while, and let go of it. Afterconfirming that the wound on Nina's hand was no longer bleeding, she brought the equipment with herand left the room. "Oh, if she refuses to eat again, we'll have to give her another shot at noontimetomorrow. The nutrition injection can only last 24 hours."

"Alright." The maid looked at Nina who was deeply asleep. Then, she walked out of the room andclosed the door.

She took her phone out and reported to Pierre about what had happened.

It was already evening. After Luca completed her work, she gave Percy a call. She felt upset afterknowing that his men were still looking for Nina, but they did not have a clue where she was.

She looked at her phone. The thought of using the resources from the Island of Despair came into hermind.

However, Abel was looking at her.

If Abel knew that Nina was one of her weaknesses too, Nina would probably be in danger if anythinghappened in the future. She dispelled the thought when she thought of this.

Knock, knock. Someone was knocking on her office door.

Luca lifted her head and saw Jason standing at her door. She stood up and asked, "Mr. Doyle, what'sthe matter?"

Jason replied, "Dr. Craw, isn't it time to get off work? Why are you still sitting here?" Luke was in a goodmood today. He did not go too far when stating problems with the department managers' work duringthe meeting. Besides, everything was on schedule. That was why they could get a rare chance to getoff work on time.

Luca glanced at the time. Indeed, it was time to get off work. She smiled and said, "I'm leaving later."

"Alright. Oh, I came to return your thermos flask," said Jason. He put down the thermos flask he wascarrying in his hands.

Luca replied immediately, "There's no need to. You may take it. I won't be using it either."

Jason did not insist on returning the bottle. He smiled and left.

Luca stood up to clean up her table. She recalled that she had already moved out when she was aboutto leave.

Luke had yet to tell her the address...

Luca hesitated for a moment. She sent a message to Luke as she did not want to be homeless: [Mr.

Crawford, you haven't sent me the address.]

After a while, Luke sent her the location.

Luca looked at it and frowned. This area was a villa district, right?

Besides, it was a villa district located near the office.

Luke asked her to move out of the apartment and into a villa district?

Most of the villas there were occupied by people with families. Was it not too luxurious for her to staythere alone? Moreover, it was inappropriate.

Luca had a feeling that if outsiders were to learn about this, they would think that Luke was keeping heras his mistress.

This villa would seem like the place where he was hiding his mistress.

[Mr. Crawford, did you send me the wrong location?] Even though she knew Luke was unlikely to havesent the wrong location to her, she confirmed with him once again.

[No, I didn't. The moving company has moved your things into the house. The villa uses a digital doorlock too. The passcode is the same as the one at the apartment.] Luke replied to her message soonafter.

Luca looked at Luke's confirmation and shook her head. She punched out, hailed a cab, and headed tothe new address.

Luca found the location of the villa based on the address given by Luke. She looked around the villaand realized that the privacy of the villa was pretty good. There was some distance between the villa in

front and behind it. There was another villa on the other side. Luca saw that the lights were lit in thatvilla, and there were noises of an electric drilling machine. Luca knew that the villa was underrenovation.

The door opened after she keyed in the passcode.

Luca pushed the door open and walked into the villa. A spacious front yard came into sight. She lookedat the design of the front yard. There was a pavilion, swing, and various kinds of vegetation that couldwithstand the cold. Even though the weather was getting cold, the vegetation was still green and alive.

She also noticed that there was a huge rose flower wall in front of her.

The front yard decorations suited her taste very much.

Luca walked down the front yard and into the living room. She saw that her boxes were left there. Sheheaded to the kitchen first, then placed the antidote into the fridge's freezer compartment.

Then, she opened the boxes one by one. She found the master bedroom and study room. Then, shesorted out her things.

It was already dark outside when she finished settling down.

Luca sat on the sofa, reluctant to move around. After a while, the doorbell rang.

Was that Luke?

As she wondered, she saw that the person standing outside the door through the surveillance camerawas not Luke. It was the delivery man. She went to open the door with some confusion.

"Hello Miss, this is the food that you ordered. Enjoy your meal." The delivery man handed the food toher as soon as he saw Luca open the door.

Luca was confused and asked, “I didn't order any food delivery. Did you send it to the wrong place?”

The delivery man glanced at the house number and confirmed with her. "Yes, I didn't send it to thewrong place. The address given on the food delivery app stated that it's here. May I know if you're Ms.Luca?"

"Yes." Luca nodded, but she emphasized again, "But I didn't order any food delivery."

"Sure enough, the food is yours. Perhaps it was your husband who ordered it for you? Besides, Ineeded the passcode to come in here. That's why I'm pretty sure I've gotten it right," the delivery mansaid.

Luca had no choice but to accept the takeout from him. Luke was the only one who knew she wasstaying here. She shot a glance at the information given on the receipt. The address given was indeedthis house, and her name was on it. However, the phone number listed was Luke's.

"Yes, this is my takeout. Thank you." She thanked him.

The delivery man smiled and said, "It's alright. Enjoy your meal."

Luca watched the delivery man leave. She turned around and walked in. Then, she closed the door.Luke happened to order food takeout for her at this time. What perfect timing.

After she packed away everything, she no longer had the energy to prepare dinner for herself.

Luca could not help but wonder if he had installed surveillance cameras in the house. Otherwise, howdid he time it out perfectly?
