Female Novel
Chapter 2283
"Uh..." Luca frowned.
"I received a package sent from A City yesterday. It contained a gift from him and a simple message.He said that he was leaving A City and would never come back. He asked me to take care." Tina toldLuca word for word what Amur wrote to her.
It was brief and did not carry a hint of emotion. She read it twice and remembered every single word inher heart.
Luca took a sip of the fruit tea and stared straight at Tina.
Even though she tried her best to conceal it, she could still see the sadness in Tina's eyes.
Tina had caught feelings for him.
Luca sighed, shook her head, and said, "Mm, if there's no special situation, he'll unlikely return everagain."novelbin
"Why... is he leaving so suddenly?" Tina's brows furrowed. It all happened so suddenly. Mostimportantly, Amur left when she was still processing how she felt.
She had been debating with herself on whether she should profess her feelings to him.
Nevertheless, in a blink of an eye, Amur left without even giving her a chance to say goodbye inperson.
Tina thought to herself that she should not have hesitated in the first place if she knew that he wasleaving. Even if she was rejected, she would have had the chance to tell him about her feelings.
"Something bad happened over in Russia, so he needs to go back..." Luca said as she thought of whatexcuse to make up.
"Can he come back after he deals with the situation?" Tina asked. 'Hasn't that been the case?'
"It's different this time. He went back to take care of his father's affairs. If nothing extraordinaryhappens, he'll settle down in Russia and won't come back to A City ever again," Luca lied to her. Shewas suddenly glad that her voice was hoarse.
Otherwise, it would sound unnatural when she lied and Tina would be able to tell.
"Is that so..." Tina pursed her lips and looked sad.
It seemed that she had no chance to confess to him.
Tina was a rational woman. When she was in college, she decided to break up with her boyfriendwhom she dated for four years because they were going on different paths after college. She had nevermet someone she was romantically interested in since then.
The reason for the breakup was simple. Her ex-boyfriend, who grew up out of town, wanted to go backto his hometown after college.
She did not want to endure the pain of a long-distance relationship, and she also had her parents takecare of. As such, even though she was deeply in love, she decided to break things off.
In the following years, she missed him and had not developed a new romantic relationship.
It took some time to find someone who made her heart skip a beat, but it was unfortunate that thingsdid not work out for her.
She did not have the courage like others to follow someone to a foreign country for love.
She did not believe that she could make a long-distance relationship between states work, let alone along-distance relationship that involved two countries.
Moreover, even though Amur had said goodbye to her in this way, there was no reluctance or emotionin his farewell.
As such, even if she liked him, she did not have the courage to follow Amur to a foreign country.
Luca did not know how to comfort Tina either.
'Should I ask her to wait? That doesn't seem possible either.'
Although she planned to rescue Eler and Amur, she was unsure when it would be realized. Even if itwas realized, it was unknown whether they would be able to escape safely.
She could not bring herself to give Tina hope and have her spend her youth waiting for a highlyvariable possibility.
"I'm sorry, Tina." Luca did not know what else to say.
Tina shook her head and smiled. "Dr. Craw, what are you apologizing for? It's nothing to do with you.It's just a fruitless crush. Things might not always happen your way, and it's not anyone's fault thatwe're not fated for each other."
"If only one can let go just like that," Luca murmured.
"It'll take some time, but I'll be able to let go eventually. Dr. Craw, since I'm here, can you give me somemore sleeping pills? Although I have no man, life still has to go on. I want to start by getting a goodrest." Tina sniffed.
She knew that she would not be able to forget about Amur for some time. Nevertheless, she did notwant to be so depressed because of Amur.
"Okay, give me a minute. I'll go up and get them for you." Luca stood up and walked upstairs.
Tina sat quietly on the sofa.
At least she found out why Amur left and that he would never return to A City.
It was worth the trip.
She could tell herself to give up on hoping for more.
Tina's hands clenched into fists as she comforted herself. Nevertheless, she was still upset.
Luca took a bottle of medicine, went downstairs to the sofa, and handed it to Tina. "Although there's nodependence or side effects, you shouldn't take too much of this. Take it when you can't sleep. Let meknow if you need more." "Thank you, Dr. Craw." Tina took it and thanked Luca.
The medicine that she got from Luca was the only thing that could help her sleep. Otherwise, shewould lie in bed all night and spend the entire time thinking about Amur. Her insomnia would lead to herbeing in bad condition. Subsequently, she would be unable to perform at full capacity.
She could not afford to lose her job.
"Why are you being so polite? By the way, it's almost time for lunch. Do you want to have a mealtogether?" Luca invited her.
"No, I don't want to be a third wheel." Tina smiled at her. She did not focus the conversation on Amuranymore.
"What are you talking about? Mr. Crawford won't be back today. He'll be in the office working overtime.Don't you know?" Luca blushed slightly when she mentioned Luke.
Her face looked like white snow dyed with peach blossoms in spring. This was what love should looklike.
Tina looked at her with admiration and shook her head. "I didn't know. It's been really busy recently. Wehave a lot of staff in the secretaries' office so we can take turns to rest. Yesterday, I worked overtime.Today, it's Cheryl and another secretary who are working overtime in the office. As such, I don't knowwhere the boss is."
"He said that he won't be home for lunch as he has to work overtime. Why don't you stay? It's almostlunchtime anyway." Luca asked her to stay.
She was not being polite. Luca just thought that if she did not ask Tina to have a meal later, in hercurrent condition, Tina might just skip the meal and sit in a daze after she returned home.
It was because of her that Tina met Amur. She felt like she had to do something considering how thesituation turned out.
She would not be able to get over it if she did not at least try.
"Uh..."
"I'll take that as a yes. I'll go tell Aunt Neile." Luca stood up, walked to the kitchen, and asked AuntNeile to prepare extra food.
Luca came out only after Aunt Neile agreed to her request.
Tina looked at her with a helpless expression.
"Since you're already here, don't be embarrassed. If I hadn't caught a cold, I would have cooked foryou myself. I remember that you enjoy my cooking," Luca said.
"Mm, your cooking is delicious." Tina nodded and admitted. She suddenly remembered that Amur hadtold her that Luca's cooking was delicious.
He liked her cooking so much but he had the heart to go back to Russia...
‘Doesn't that mean he won't be able to eat her food anymore?'
