Female Novel
Chapter 1985
"Okay." Luke had no objection. He controlled the wheelchair and went to the other room. “Bring me myluggage."
"Okay." Luca carried his suitcase. It still felt quite heavy, but it was not an issue for her.
She went into the room and said, "Mr. Crawford, where do you want me to put your luggage?"
"You can put it anywhere," Luke said.
Luca put the luggage down.
"You can go about your business. I have something to do," Luke said as he leaned down and picked uphis briefcase.novelbin
Luca watched him take out the computer, put it on his lap, and maneuver the wheelchair to his desk.
It was not a specially made desk, but the height was just right. Luca guessed that Jason had instructedthe hotel staff to change it to a desk with a suitable height for Luke.
"Is there something you want to talk about?" Luke looked at her as she was standing there for a while,staring at him.
"All is well, Mr. Crawford. Let me know if you need anything. I'll be back in my room." Luca said quicklyand exited Luke's room.
She dragged her luggage back to her room, closed the door, and drew the curtains.
Luca wanted to take a shower, then change the gauze around her waist.
After she took out a change of clothes, she looked for the medicine in the suitcase but could not find it.
Luca realized that although she had prepared the medicine, she forgot to put it in the suitcase...
She was annoyed at herself for being so careless...
Luca rummaged through the suitcase again. The suitcase had a passcode, so she was certain that noone had taken her luggage. It must be that she forgot to put it in.
"I'm so stupid..." Luca could not help but blame herself.
She looked at the messy suitcase and slumped on the bed. She had to change the gauze, but thechallenge was that local herbs made up a large portion of the prescription. It was almost impossible tobuy all of them in Russia.
Her other alternative was to inject herself with Amphotericin B. However, she did not know anyone inRussia who could help her get it from the hospital.
Luca touched her chin and searched for nearby pharmacies with her phone.
There were several around her, so she decided to give it a try. Maybe she would be lucky enough toget all the materials she needed, or she could obtain Amphotericin B through some other channels.
Luca put on her coat and passed by Luke's room as she left. His room door was not closed, so he sawher as soon as she walked past.
"You're going out?" Luke asked casually when he noticed that Luca had put on multiple layers ofclothing.
"Yeah, I have nothing to do, so I want to walk around," Luca replied.
"Go, stay safe," Luke said.
"Okay." Luca's heart was warmed, and she felt relieved. When she was stopped by him, she wasworried that Luke would offer to go with her.
If that was the case, she would not be able to go to the pharmacy to buy what she needed. After all,she did not know how to explain to him the situation...
After Luca left the suite, Luke grabbed his phone and called Gale. "She went out."
"Got it, Boss." Gale hung up the call and sat in the car warming his hands.
He arrived in Russia before they did to investigate the forces behind Luca.
Luca headed out as soon as she arrived at the hotel. It was possible that she wanted to go shopping,but it was also possible that she was going to meet the organization controlling her.
Her documents were from Russia, so the organization was most likely based in Russia.
At the same time, the Island of Despair should also be in Russia...
Gale watched Luca come out of the hotel. He said to the driver, "Follow them and keep a safedistance."
"Sir, it seems a little difficult for us to follow her without being detected since she's walking," the driversaid. No matter how good he was, it would be obvious if the car was driving so slowly.
Luca was not stupid. She would notice in a few seconds.
"Yeah. Rain, send someone to follow her," Gale said.
Rain replied immediately, "Got it. My people are ready. They're waiting by the junction..."
Luca followed the phone's navigation and arrived at a pharmacy nearby.
Rain watched from a distance and frowned. "Drugstore. What's she doing in the drugstore?"
Gale listened to Rain talking to herself from the earpiece and said, "Don't worry about it. Just follow her.Maybe she's going there to see someone."
Rain was skilled in tracking, so Luca did not notice it. After she walked into the pharmacy, she askedthe clerk in fluent Russian if they had anything she wanted.
The clerk told her apologetically that the store did not have what she needed.
Luca had to leave and go to the next pharmacy.
An hour later, she had gone to all the nearby pharmacies. One of the pharmacies was opened bysomeone from A City, but she only got two of the materials she needed. She needed a lot more.
Luca felt helpless. Sure enough, it was difficult to get local herbs in another country.
The owner of the pharmacy gave her a suggestion. "Ma'am, it's not impossible to find all the medicinalmaterials you want. You should go to the hospital. Some hospitals in Russia have a herbologydepartment. I think you can ask them. Maybe you can get everything you need."
"Okay, I see. Thank you." Luca thanked the owner and left the pharmacy.
She had walked for an hour. It had not been long, so her feet were not tired. However, her heart was.
Luca saw a coffee shop nearby, went in, and ordered a cup of black coffee.
Rain wore a mask and leaned against the bus stop. She pretended to be waiting for the bus andwhispered to Gale, "She's gone to all the nearby pharmacies. At the last pharmacy, she walked out witha bag. It seemed she bought some medicine."
"Buy medicine? What does she need medicine for?" Gale wondered.
Luke had told them that Luca was skilled in medicine and pharmaceuticals. They were curious as towhy she needed medicine.
'Is she unwell?'
"How do I know? Do you want to ask the boss?" Rain noticed that Luca was looking out the window, soshe turned around and pretended to be looking at the bus route.
"What is she doing now?" Gale asked.
"She's in the coffee shop having coffee." Rain turned around and glanced at Luca.
Luca was sitting next to the floor-to-ceiling window, so it was easy to spot her.
"How weird." Gale had been watching her for an hour but did not find anything. Even so, he did not giveup. She did not do anything for an hour and just went to pharmacies. It was weird. Maybe she waswaiting for someone at the coffee shop.
"It's weird," Rain said casually and sat down.
"Keep watch and see if she meets anyone. Make sure she doesn't notice you," Gale said.
"Don't worry. Trust me when I say that I can follow her scent." Rain assured him as she changed hersitting position. "I'll keep watch, but my intuition tells me that we won't find anything today."
"Since when did you start trusting your intuition?" Gale could not help but complain.
