Chapter 1937
“Kassy refused to listen to orders when she was in prison. She was considered a dangerous inmate. Even though she was held in a single cell, she would still find different kinds of excuses to attack the others. That's what's written on the report by the prison," said Amur. After Amur could not find the connection between Abel and Dr. Albus, it came to his mind that Abel was taking revenge on the people who were directly or indirectly related to Kassy. That was why he looked into something else. He did not expect that he would find out about this.
“And then?" Luca did not understand how this woman would have any connection with Dr. Albus.
Luca had seen Dr. Albus' personal information before. Dr. Albus was a great academic and a bioresearch professor. He had published a few journals and developed several drugs.
How could a person like that have anything to do with Kassy?
"Her behavior put the prison officers on the spot. They even held a meeting and consulted the relevant department. In the end, they thought Kassy was suffering from a mental disorder. They decided to give her an injectable drug that could reduce her violent and aggressive behavior. This kind of drug could affect a human's nervous system and movement behavior, causing that person to be unresponsive. Well, there's a side effect too. Even when the drug's effects subsided, their body would feel weak. The drug is mainly used to control a person, and it's usually used in psychiatric hospitals. The drug that they gave Kassy happens to be a drug developed by Dr. Albus' team."
Luca came to her senses and frowned. “And that's the reason why he's getting rid of Dr. Albus?"
Amur shook his head and let out a sigh.
“Why? Is there something else?" Luca asked.
"Yes. Abel had once initiated a rescue plan, but it failed. It was because Kassy had been given the drug. The delayed side effects were too strong. Kassy was weak and could barely walk. Most of them who went to rescue her were taken down by police officers. Therefore, Kassy was locked in a heavily guarded cell with advanced facilities. Abel lost the opportunity, and he could only watch Kassy die in the prison." Amur found out what had happened and finally understood why Abel was going against a professor in biopharmaceuticals.
Luca fell silent. Dr. Albus was only doing his job. He was not the one who decided to give Kassy the drug. However, Abel was taking revenge on Dr. Albus for Kassy's death.
Then, did the people who decided to give Kassy the drug face the risk of his revenge as well?
“The biggest coincidence was... Previously, Kassy had ordered some psychotropic medications developed by Dr. Albus. Perhaps she ordered those from him when she was trying to get rid of you a few years ago." Amur said as he turned off the laptop.
Luca shook her head and said to him, "That's impossible. Dr. Albus' research should all be legal. The psychotropic medications Kassy wanted to give me back then were deadly. Dr. Albus couldn't have developed those drugs." "Kassy has a team behind her. They can process the drugs again, turning them into deadly ones. Dr. Albus is indeed innocent. But there's nothing we can do about it." Amur believed that it would not take long before Luke's men found the money in Dr. Albus' bank account.
Dr. Albus would never be able to explain this when the time came.
Luca held her hands. She felt sorry for Dr. Albus. Although he was snobbish to the others, that behavior came from his own pride and achievements.
He had never done anything harmful...
"Amur, are we going to keep on taking the lives of the innocent if we continue to be manipulated by Abel for the rest of our lives?" Luca asked.
Amur knew what Luca meant, and he comforted her. "Don't worry about it. No one knows what's going to happen tomorrow."
"Yes. No one knows what tomorrow holds, but we've already seen Dr. Albus' future." Luca felt desolate. She did not feel happy about accomplishing the mission Abel had assigned her.
Amur felt sorry when he saw Luca in such a state. He secretly made up his mind to become stronger and get rid of Abel.
Luca would be able to live a life of her own when the time came.
However, getting rid of Abel would not free them right away. After all, they had taken the drug he gave them.
Amur was reminded of Luca's wound at the thought of it. Then, he asked, "Oh, has your wound recovered?"
Luca touched her waist and replied, "I'm afraid not. Abel admitted that he poisoned me."
"I'm going to look for him to get the antidote." Amur immediately got angry. He did not expect Abel to use such a dirty trick to make Luca suffer more when he was already manipulating her.
Luca grabbed Amur's hand before he stood up. "He admitted it, but that doesn't mean he's going to give me the antidote. Even if you get to see him, you'll only end up becoming a pawn in his game. He'll have you help him accomplish those missions. Now that you're on a break, you'd better enjoy the peaceful days. I can deal with the wound myself."
"But this can't be delayed.." Amur frowned. He would have accompanied Luca if he knew she was going to hand over the information herself.
However, Luca would never tell him unless she was unable to handle something herself. Sometimes, it would be too late.
"I know my condition well. Besides, I'm taking other medications too. It helps to slow down the effects. Don't worry. Didn't you say you'd like to have a taste of my cooking again? There's some time left, so why don't we go and get some groceries? I'll make a nice dinner for you." Luca changed the subject of the conversation. She did not want Amur to worry about her wound.
"You're still wounded, and you should rest. But I'm not good at cooking. Let's order takeout.." Of course, Amur was more than willing to have a taste of Luca's cooking again. However, he rejected her when he thought of her wound.
"It's not going to take a lot of energy to cook. And haven't you been craving my food since last time? Why don't we order some ingredients online and I'll prepare the meal?" Luca knew Amur was worried about her wound, but she was no longer the person she used to be. She was not that weak anymore. "Don't worry. I know myself very well."
Amur had no choice but to nod when Luca insisted on doing so. “Let me help you.”
“You don't even know how to cook. And you'll only cause me trouble if you help me. Just wait until the food is served.” Luca picked up her phone and began to order the ingredients using the app.
"I'm learning," Amur replied hurriedly when Luca refused to let him help.
"The kitchen is clean. It doesn't look like you're learning how to cook. But if you're really learning, I can provide you with a cookbook full of my secret recipes. It feels great knowing how to cook when you're
living alone. It's much healthier than having takeouts," said Luca. She had chosen all the ingredients, filled in the address, and checked out her shopping cart.
Amur wanted to say that Luca would still be by his side in the future anyway.
However, how could he say such things to her? He had no choice but to nod stiffly and reply, "Sure."
"Help me get the ingredients downstairs when they're delivered. I'll take that as your help." After that, Luca opened the document on her phone and started proofreading the translated content.
