Chapter 2835
"Save this segment and send it to the encryption expert at headquarters," instructed Officer Larsen,who was highly alert. This was just a small local branch. They did not have such experts at all.
The staff members of the computer technology team immediately complied.
In the detention cell...
Amur looked at Alexsei and Kazimir, who had already resigned themselves to their fate. He knew hismission was complete. Therefore, he moved to a corner and hid in the blind spot of the surveillancecameras. He threw two pills in the opposite direction.
Then, he sat back down and looked up for a moment to glance at the surveillance camera. He tappedthe wall with a nonchalant expression on his face. "Once you take the pill, Boss won't come looking forthe people you care about the most."
Alexsei and Kazimir both looked toward the corner.
They believed that the Island of Despair was a disciplined organization, but now they realized that thisdiscipline was dictated solely by Abel.
Whoever he wanted dead would cease to exist in this world.
Alexsei and Kazimir exchanged glances. They had not revealed any information about the Island ofDespair before, as they still held onto hope that they could escape and redeem themselves through anact of valor.
Now, it was even more unlikely for them to perish alongside Abel.
Alexsei walked over to the corner, another blind spot for surveillance.
He consumed the poisoned pill first, while Kazimir closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and followedsuit.
Amur lowered his gaze and remained silent. He could not bear to watch either.
However, if they did not die, Luca and Amur would be in trouble. He could not protect them.
Even if Amur did protect them and manage to save them, Abel would not let them off easily either.
They had caused the Island of Despair to lose business and a significant amount of money, not tomention the substantial sum they were supposed to receive.
Now, everything had turned to ashes. Even if they managed to leave A City alive, Abel would ultimatelymake their lives unbearable.
In that case, they might as well just die.
At least they could have a clean end.
"The pills will take effect in two days. Don't even think about trying to implicate the organization.Otherwise, the ones who will suffer will be the people you care about the most," warned Amur as hetapped the wall.
Alexsei's mother, a poor woman who had toiled hard for half her life, had only recently reunited with herson. She had not enjoyed a few good days yet.
Of course, he would not risk it...
He had given all the money he saved from his missions to his mother, hoping that her future life wouldbe much better. Alexsei would never dare to oppose Abel.
As for Kazimir, what he could not bear to lose was not his lover, but his son, who shared a bloodconnection with him.
He could not risk it, as it was a matter of his son's survival.
Amur noticed their silence and knew his mission was complete. He was not in a hurry to leave. He waswaiting for news from the hospital.
He had to wait for the doctors to confirm that the two thugs and Hoffman were fine and unharmedbefore he could go out.
In the evening.
Luca was still unaware that Amur had been captured by the police in X City.
After delivering the meal to Wanda at the hospital, she stood by the entrance of the ICU.
No news meant good news. Luca looked at the ICU entrance and murmured to herself, "Ms. Poplar,you have to be strong. Someone is waiting for you to recover."
She did not stay there for too long.
There were people sleeping on the floor near the entrance of the ICU.
The general hospital in A City was nationally renowned. Many people with different kinds ofcomplicated illnesses would come here. They might not have a good background, but those who cameonly hoped that the people who mattered to them would be able to live well.
Hence, many people slept on the floor here. It not only reduced accommodation expenses but alsoallowed them to be the first to receive news from the hospital.
Luca lowered her gaze. They were all poor people, many of whom needed help.
However, who could help these people?
Life was a bitter reality of unavoidable compromises.
After Luca left the hospital, she asked Warren to take her to Crawford Manor.
Knowing that Luca would be coming today, the three children finished their homework early and waitedfor her in the living room.
When Luca arrived at Crawford Manor, she followed the butler into the house.
The moment she stepped into the house with her left foot and before she could say anything, the threechildren surrounded her. "Ms. Luca!"
"Ms. Luca, it smells so good," said Tommy as he caught a whiff of the aroma of the cookies. Eventhough he had just finished a meal, his appetite was triggered once again.
He wanted to have the cookies made by Luca.
"You have a sharp nose. These cookies are for you, but don't eat too many at once. Otherwise, yourthroat will feel uncomfortable," Luca reminded him and handed him the bag of cookies.
She divided the cookies into four portions.
There were three smaller portions and one large portion. The larger portion was for Tommy to bringwith him and share with his classmates during the spring outing, while the smaller portion was for them.
"Thank you, Ms. Luca!" Tommy exclaimed with excitement. He loved food, and he truly missed Luca.
Luca was surrounded by the children. Fortunately, they were still shorter than her, so she could see OldMaster Crawford sitting happily on the sofa.
She walked toward him and greeted him, "Good evening, Old Master Crawford."
"Good evening, Luca," replied Old Master Crawford with a smile on his face. As he watched Tommyopen the bag and distribute the cookies to his older siblings, he could not help but exclaim, "You're tookind to them."
Luca smiled without explaining anything.
They were all her precious ones. If she did not treat them well, then who else was she supposed totreat well?
Previously, she could also prepare meals for Nyla. Now that Nyla was not by her side, she could onlyfocus her attention on the other three children.
She would never hold back her love for them while there was still time.
"No one can resist adorable and well-behaved children," Luca smiled as her gaze fell on the threechildren.
Rainie was the most well-behaved one. After opening the cookie packaging, she handed it to OldMaster Crawford and said, “Great-grandpa, you can have it first."
Old Master Crawford happily took a piece and tasted it.
Luca's cookies were indeed delicious. He had already tasted them at the Rayne family's house before.
The cookies she made for the children had an even richer scent of milk in them.
They liked these even more.
Tommy had been talking about how much he was looking forward to the spring outing just so he couldeat Luca's cookies for the past few days.
It was unknown who he had inherited his love for food from.
It was obvious that Luke was not a fan of food when he was young. As for Luca, Old Master Crawfordhad no idea about it, but he felt that Luca was not like that either.
With Rainie making the first move, Lanie and Tommy also shared their treats with Old Master Crawford.
Old Master Crawford had cookies in his mouth and in both of his hands for a moment.
Mr. Griffin stood beside and watched them. Then, he remembered something Old Master Crawford saidearlier. He then suggested, "Kids, how about going upstairs to eat? The cartoon show is about to start."
Any child would enjoy having yummy cookies while watching their favorite cartoon show.
Moreover, they were all intelligent children who knew that Old Master Crawford had something todiscuss with Luca.
They knew it was something they should not be listening to.novelbin
Hence, they brought their cookies along with them and made their way up the stairs.
