Chapter 2686

“I visited Ms. Rayne and Mr. and Mrs. Norman when I went to the hospital to remove the stitches today.They seemed to be in good shape, especially Ms. Rayne. She's feeling much better compared to thefirst time she received the chemotherapy treatment. But I think there's something wrong with hercaretaker, so I fired her," said Luca as she looked down. It reminded her of what happened in Wanda'swardroom when Luke mentioned Leia.

Even though Wanda told her that she would hire another caretaker, Luca thought she should tell Lukeabout this.

After all, it was Luca who took the liberty to fire the caretaker.

"If she's fired then so be it. It doesn't matter. I can arrange another one for her." Luke tidied her slightlymessy hair.

Her hair was messed up when she lay down on the bed.

Luca was surprised and she asked, "Aren't you going to ask me why?"

"You're not the kind of person who would easily fire someone. I trust you. You did it for her own good."Luke trusted her.

Even if Luca was the kind of person who would easily fire her subordinates without any reason, Lukewould still support her decision.

Luca did it for Wanda's sake.

Luca was moved by Luke's unconditional trust.

If she was still Bianca, Luke would definitely trust her. However, she was Luca now, but he still trustedher.

No gift was more precious than trust in this world. How could she not be moved by Luke when he hadfaith in her?

"I wonder if Ms. Rayne has found herself a new caretaker," added Luca. She was worried Wanda wouldnot look for another caretaker to save Luke's money since she was getting better now.

Luke raised his brows when he heard what Luca was worried about. "I'll ask Johann about it."

"It doesn't sound like a great idea to ask for Dr. Park's help for such a trivial matter..." said Luca. Shewas reluctant to trouble Johann when she was reminded of Johann's suggestion today. She would owehim a favor.

"He just has to make a call and ask about it. It's a simple task," replied Luke as he picked up his phoneand sent a message to Johann.

“Let me check the kids' homework first," suggested Luca.

"Alright. Go to bed early tonight," teased Luke.

The blush on Luca's cheeks that had gone away appeared on her face again.

Luca quickly walked out of the bedroom and gently let out a sigh of relief. She touched her burningcheeks.

Luke was good at flirting with her...

Whenever Luca thought of every word he said and the look on his face, every detail of him was full ofseductiveness and temptation.

It was as though he was intentionally enchanting her, and she was trapped in his prison.

Luca made her way down the stairs. The three kids were sitting on the sofa, watching TV.

"Ms. Luca, you came down." Tommy smiled and patted the empty seat beside him, signaling her to sitbeside him.

Luca nodded. "Yes, I came down to check your homework," replied Luca with a smile on her face. Shesat on the sofa and opened Lanie's exercise book first.

Tommy used his fork to pick up a slice of apple and said, "Ms. Luca, have some!"

"Thank you, Tommy." Luca looked up and slightly leaned over to eat the apple slice her child picked upfor her. Then, she continued to check their homework.

The kids did their homework well. After she checked their homework, she picked up the pen at thethought of Luke being busy with his work upstairs and signed his name on it.

After signing their homework, Luca returned the exercise books to the kids.

The kids kept their books properly.novelbin

Luca glanced at the time. There was another episode before the cartoon show ended. Then, shereminded the kids, "Be good. Stay here and watch your cartoon show. I'm going upstairs to do somework. Go upstairs, take a shower, and get ready to go to bed after the show, okay?"

Luca's voice was gentle when she spoke to the three kids. She sounded like she was discussing it withthe kids instead of commanding them.

"Alright, Ms. Luca," replied the kids.

Luca made her way up the stairs without worrying about them when she heard that.

She did not walk into Luke's bedroom. Instead, she headed to the study and checked the results.

The results that came out were the same as the ones she got this afternoon. There were no changes inthe sample's concentration.

In other words, Ambrose did not add any chemical substances to the samples.

Luca let out a sigh of relief. She poured the sample into the toilet bowl and flushed it.

She had saved the other samples, and they were in her office. Hence, there was no need for her tokeep this sample.

Luca did not leave the room after she finished her work. She sat on the chair, lost in her thought.

It had been a long time since Abel gave her any orders.

The quieter he was, the more worried Luca was.

Luca felt uneasy. She picked up her phone and called Amur. She wanted to ask him whether or notAbel had contacted him lately.

However, the phone rang for a second before the call ended.

Amur hung up on her.

Luca became even more upset.

Luca pursed her lips. She received a text from Amur when she was wondering if she should call Amur.

[On a mission.] There were only a few words, but he still told Luca what he was doing now.

Luca immediately frowned when she saw that. Amur's mission was to deal with Pierre.

[Why didn't you tell me earlier?] Luca immediately replied. Previously, she told him to inform her beforehe carried out a mission. She had Amur's number, and she could come up with an excuse to go outand help him.

However, Amur only told her now, and there was nothing she could do to help him!

Luke was at home now. He would suspect her if she made up an excuse to go out now!

Luca felt her heartbeat race. She did not know why her heart was beating faster when she found outthat Amur was carrying out a mission.

She was worried something might happen to him...

Abel was going after Pierre, and she had something to do with it.

If it were not for her who stole the bidding document, Pierre would not have become the buyer. Pierrewould not have felt dissatisfied when Abel took all the money back. That was why he kept on messingwith Abel.

He had gone so far that he made Abel send Amur to kill him.

Amur replied: [The mission changed. It's simple. I can handle this.] Today, Abel sent him a messageand told Amur not to kill Pierre. He wanted Pierre alive.

Hence, Amur only had to bring Pierre to Abel.

Still, it was not as easy as what he told Luca.

There were many ways to kill Pierre.

However, taking a man over five feet tall away and bringing him to Abel was a difficult task.

After all, Pierre was not living alone now. He was living with a gang of thugs.

However, those men were not Amur's target. Hence, he was not planning to kill them.

He had to fight with the thugs and beat them up. Then, he would knock Pierre out and take him away.

It was more difficult than killing him.

Still, no matter how difficult it was, Amur was not planning to ask Luca for help.

Luca had to stay in A City. Abel had not given her any instructions now. If her identity was exposedbecause of Pierre, he had no idea what Luke and the Mallory family would do to her.

If Luca's identity was exposed and she failed to do what Abel instructed, she would be punished by theorganization.
