Female Novel
Chapter 1964
“Okay, I got this. Don't worry." Mrs. Laurel agreed to help her to take care of Luke. Looking after Lukewas one of her duties too, and that was why she readily agreed with it.
Luca was assured knowing that Mrs. Laurel would be taking care of Luke.
Mrs. Laurel was better at taking care of someone, but Luke insisted on asking Luca to take care ofhim...
Luca pushed Luke back to his bedroom after he finished bathing himself. Then, she helped him to dryhis hair and took out a set of clean pajamas for him. She did not say a word the whole time.
Luke did not say anything either.
The two of them did not feel awkward despite the silence. Luca put the pajamas on the bed and left theroom.
She had finally completed her task to take care of Luke today.
Mrs. Laurel had gotten off work at this hour.
Luca left a pot of warm water in the living room. Only then did she make her way up the stairs.
She received a message from Amur when she was back in her bedroom: [I've talked to the lab owner.You can come over tomorrow.]
[Alright. I got it.] Luca did not thank Amur this time to stop him from commenting on her behavior.
[What time will you be going there tomorrow?] Amur sent another message to ask Luca.
[I'll probably arrive there early in the morning.] Luca gathered her hair and tied it up after she replied tohis message. She was planning to wash up.
It was going to be another uphill battle starting tomorrow. She had to figure out what powder Abel hadput on the knife within three days to get the cure.
She had no choice but to wait until she came back from Russia if she was unable to figure it out threedays later.
However, she had no idea how long she was going to stay in Russia. That was why she had to make itfast.
[Okay. I'll be waiting for you there.] Amur replied to her.
Luca read his message and did not reply to him. She had to hurry up and get washed up. Only thencould she get some rest.
Luca woke up early. She changed into warm clothes, picked up the sample, and headed downstairs.
Mrs. Laurel happened to enter the living room as soon as Luca reached the first floor.
"Ms. Luca, you're early." Mrs. Laurel glanced at the time. It was only six-thirty in the morning. Then, sheturned around and looked at her and the warm clothes she had put on. "Are you going out?"
Luca was usually still in bed at this hour.
“Yes, I'm going out.” Luca looked at the weather out there. The snow came late this year. Although thetemperature was low out there, there was no snowfall.
"You haven't had breakfast, right? Let me prepare it for you now," said Mrs. Laurel, as she put down thegrocery bag.
"It's alright, Mrs. Laurel. I'll grab something to eat when I'm out there. And I'm not coming back for lunchtoday. You don't have to prepare my portion," said Luca. The laboratory was quite far away from the
villa, and it was near the suburbs. She thought she would probably not come home for lunch.
"Alright. Travel safe," replied Mrs. Laurel.
Luca nodded. She put on a scarf and walked out of the villa.
It was cold in the morning. She exhaled and released some breath vapor. She headed to the garage.
Luca chose to drive to the laboratory since she was not carrying out a secret mission. Besides, it wasdifficult for her to hail a ride early in the morning.
She would just be going to the laboratory. Luke would not be able to find out anything even if he foundthe dashcam video footage in her car.
Luca started the car engine and left. She was going to drive on an unfamiliar road, so she turned on thenavigation and headed to the laboratory.novelbin
Not many cars were driving on the road in the morning. She drove all the way to the suburban area,and it took her an hour to arrive there.
Amur was already waiting for her at the laboratory's entrance.
Luca found the parking lot and parked her car. Then, she walked toward Amur and said, "Why are youso early?"
"I came from the apartment and arrived here faster than you did," said Amur. He deliberately departedfrom the apartment at five-thirty in the morning to wait for Luca here.
"Did you have the key?" Luca asked.
Amur took two magnetic cards out of his pocket, handed one of them to Luca, and answered, "This isthe access card."
Luca glanced at the magnetic card and smiled, "How innovative."
"Let's go in." Amur looked around him. They were in the suburbs in a slightly remote area. However,there were some laboratories here, so there were cars parked around. Amur's eyes darkened.
"Alright." Luca nodded and entered the laboratory together with Amur.
On the other hand.
Gale frowned as he watched the two of them walk into the laboratory. He picked up his phone andcalled Luke.
"Where is she?" Luke answered the call immediately.
Although it was early in the morning, there was not even a hint of weariness in Luke's voice after hewoke up.
“Luke, Ms. Craw has just entered a building in the suburbs. I looked it up and found out that it's alaboratory for rent." Gale reported to Luke. This place was considered a high-tech industrialdevelopment zone established not long ago.
Many buildings here were used as laboratories. There were only a few buildings that were used asresidential buildings or factories.
Many technology companies that did not have enough capital would choose to rent a laboratory here todevelop their products.
"Laboratory?" Luke frowned. That would match his speculation.
Luca had always been in the study doing research. Luke reckoned that she went to the laboratorybecause of the research she was working on now.
"Alone?" Luke asked for details.
"With a young man. He looks like her brother based on the information given to me." Gale informed himwithout concealing anything.
Amur...
Luke felt unhappy at once. Luca was busy with her experiments and he could not help her. However,could Amur be of any help to her?
Although Luca had no feelings for Amur, Luke could feel the possessiveness that Amur had for Luca.
Gale knew Luke was jealous when he was waiting for Luke's response for quite some time on the otherend of the phone. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask him, "Luke, do I still have to watchover them?"
"Is there a way for you to get in there?" Luke asked.
Gale glanced at the building. The building was new, and there were surveillance cameras outside thebuilding. He would need an access card to get to the first floor.
Gale pondered for a moment and said, "The building's security system is good. But there's still a way toget into the building."
It would mean Gale needed some time to break into the building.
Luke said in a cold voice, "Never mind. I'll let you get back to work."
The reason Luke arranged for Gale to follow Luca was to see if he could find out anything about theproblem Luca mentioned to him.
Luke did not expect her problem to be related to her experiment. Thus, he did not gain any information.
"Alright." Gale hung up the call and drove away according to Luke's orders.
Amur stood beside the window. The building for the rented laboratory was not considered tall, andAmur was able to see what was going on down there. He watched the car leave slowly and turnedaround to look at Luca.
Luca took her laptop and sample out of her bag.
"Okay." Luca's expression was calm.
She already knew a car was following her after she drove out of the villa.
However, she did not take it seriously as the person following her did not use any tricks to track herdown. The driver seemed harmless.
Luca thought it was someone Luke had sent to follow her and that person meant no harm.
Even if Luke did not send someone to follow her, he would be able to find out where she was from thedashcam footage. That was why she did not get rid of the car just now.
