Female Novel
Chapter 1962
Luca tore the report apart and closed her eyes with her hand on her forehead to calm herself down.
There was not much time left. The inflammation of the wound was getting serious day after day. Itwould leave an ugly tunneling wound on her waist if it took any longer for her to look for the cure.
However, she refused to ask for Abel's help even if it would leave a scar on her.
This man only knew how to make terms when talking with others. He would probably assign Luca onanother mission if she went to look for him.
Luca had already placed Luke and her in a difficult position. She had no idea what Luke and TCorporation would have to face next if Abel forced her to do something else.
That was why she could only depend on herself.
Luca pulled herself together. She picked up her phone, trying to find whether there were anylaboratories available for rent in A City. She needed a laboratory with advanced facilities.
There was indeed one once she searched the internet.
Luca gave Amur a call. "Amur, I was wondering if you have the time to help me with something?"
"Yes," Amur replied immediately without a second thought. As long as Luca asked for his help, hewould help her.
"I need to rent a laboratory with advanced facilities for my experiment. So, I went searching on theinternet. Can you please help me to go over there to take a look at the laboratory? I'd like to rent it if it'ssuitable," Luca asked.
Amur had been given medical training too when he was on the Island of Despair. However, he was justlike Eler. They were not interested in this field. That was why Luca was the only one who continued tostudy this, while they were arranged to learn some other skills.
Although Amur did not learn much about this, he still knew a thing or two about the facilities.
"No problem. But what do you need the lab for? Is it because of the wound?" Amur questioned her.
"Yes." Luca let out a sigh. "It's not healing yet. I can't analyze the contents of the drug if I don't have theprofessional facilities for my experiment, so I'll leave it to you. Thank you."
If it had not been for the heavy workload that made Luca unable to find some time to take a look at thelaboratory herself, she would not have asked for Amur's help.
"Abel's a savage!" Amur frowned. Luca's wound was not even healed yet. If it were not for her busyschedule, was she not planning to tell him about this?
“Who else can be that cruel?" Luca took a deep breath and looked down. Amur and her would not havebeen forced to walk on this path if Abel was not this cruel.
Everyone's pain came from somewhere, and Abel was the source of their pain.
Amur listened to Luca's disappointed tone. He could not bear to blame her for concealing this from him,so he just said, "Send me the laboratory's address. I'll head there now."
"Alright." Luca felt sad and angry at the same time, but she could not release her emotions. The onlything she could do was face the difficulties positively.
Luca sent the laboratory's address to Amur after she ended the call. She asked him to help her see ifthe facilities in the laboratory were advanced enough.
She planned to ask for two days' leave from Luke if the facilities in the laboratory were advancedenough. Then, she would head to the laboratory to analyze the samples and solve the problem.
Amur replied to her: [Got it]
After that, he did not reply to any of her messages again.
Luca put down her phone and opened the door of the study.
She was startled to see Mrs. Laurel standing outside the door. "Mrs. Laurel, why are you here?"
Luca remembered what she said just now. She seemed to have been speaking in a soft voice. Judgingfrom the soundproofing of the study, Mrs. Laurel would not have heard anything.
"Ms. Luca, didn't you skip lunch this noon? Mr. Crawford found out about it and asked me to deliversome food for you. I made some porridge. Why don't you have some?" Mrs. Laurel was still carryingthe tray. She remembered what Luke had ordered her, so she did not knock on the door. She had beenstanding here the entire time.
Luke told her not to disturb Luca.
Hence, Mrs. Laurel had been waiting for almost half an hour outside the door.
Luca looked at the porridge and took it from her. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it. Mr. Crawford told me that you have a weak stomach. You'll have to eat on time. Howcareless I've been," replied Mrs. Laurel. Mrs. Laurel was told that Luca would not be having lunch afterinforming her that lunch was prepared. She did not insist on asking Luca to have her lunch either.
First of all, Luca was an adult. Adults would have to be responsible for their own health. That was whyMrs. Laurel did not urge her to take her lunch.
Secondly, Mrs. Laurel did not expect Luke to care more about Luca's health than Luca herself.
"I'll eat it." Luca touched the edges of the bowl and realized that it was not hot.
She looked at Mrs. Laurel. The only explanation would be Mrs. Laurel had been standing here for quitesome time, and that was why the porridge had turned warm.
"Mrs. Laurel, have you been standing outside the door for a long time?" Luca asked.
Mrs. Laurel smiled and replied, "Not really. Mr. Crawford told me not to disturb you, so... Please eat itfirst. I'm going downstairs to make dinner."
Luca glanced at Mrs. Laurel. Her words were constantly resonating in her ears, and it made her feelcomplicated.
Luke ordered her to do so.
Luca carried the tray back into her bedroom and placed it on the dressing table. She looked at theporridge. She finished eating the porridge even though she had no appetite.
It was Luke's kind thoughts...
Luca was unable to accept Luke's kindness in front of others. However, deep down inside her heart,she did not want to let him down.
Luke noticed Mrs. Laurel came down with empty hands.
“Has Luca finished her work?" he asked.
Mrs. Laurel answered, "Mr. Crawford, I'm not sure if she's finished her work. But she came out of thestudy and took the tray."
"Did you hear anything when you were waiting outside the study?" Luke asked. He had no idea whatresearch Luca was doing.
However, he was pretty sure that her research had nothing to do with the projects at WatsonBiopharmaceuticals now.
It seemed like she had been secretly doing her own research from the very start.novelbin
Luke was curious about what Luca had been researching, but he was unfamiliar with it. That was whyhe did not manage to figure it out even though he was curious about it.
Besides, there were only a few samples that Luca was studying. He could not steal a sample and bringit to someone else to ask about it.
These few days, she would walk into the study after she finished her work given by T Corporation. Itseemed like the research she was doing was of great significance.
What could make her study it so secretly?
The equipment she had for doing research was not advanced enough. It was obvious that the researchfacilities here were for personal use. They were not as good as the ones in the laboratory.
It would take more time for her to study something with those research facilities.
Luke remained silent. He wondered if he had set any rules and regulations in WatsonBiopharmaceuticals to prohibit researchers from using the company's facilities to do their research.
Was that why Luca was using the equipment she had to do her research?
Luke pondered. Watson Biopharmaceuticals had always encouraged employees to develop new drugson their own and propose new ideas and plans to the company.
Not only were the research professors allowed to do so, but even research assistants were given thisprivilege. If they achieved good results and submitted a report to the company, the company would alsoallocate funds for them to do their research after examinations and approvals.
Hence, there were no such rigid rules in the company.
