Chapter 2268
If something happened to Luca, she would have no choice but to ask for help from the stronghold of the Island of Despair in A City.
However, that way, Abel would know everything she did.
There was no doubt that it was a sign...
Luca furrowed her brows as her nerves jangled. She rose to her feet and headed to the women's toilet. Then, she said, “Don't worry about me."
"I'll try to get out of there again." Amur was worried about her being alone in A City.
"It's alright, Amur. If he wants you back on the Island of Despair, just go back. Eler must miss you too," Luca shook her head. She did not want Amur to take the risk.
If Abel really agreed to let Amur out, he would assign difficult missions for him.
Luca did not want Amur to get injured again just because of her.
"But.." Amur paused for a moment. He wanted to stay by her side.
If he was asked to return to the Island of Despair, he would miss Luca and worry about her. After all, Luca was not safe here.
"Help me look after Nyla after you're back. She's intellectually curious now. I'm worried that she might learn something bad from the people on the Island of Despair." said Luca. Although Eler was looking after Nyla, Eler had to work too, so she could not take care of Nyla all day.
If no one was keeping an eye on her, it would deprave a child's character easily.
Especially since Luke's children were unusually smart.
Nyla learned how to speak when she was only nine months old. Not only that, Nyla could speak Russian and English now.
Russians were not the only ones on the Island of Despair. That was why Nyla could speak the languages of other countries. Although she could not speak fluently, she had no problem communicating with others.
Luca never wanted Nyla to have too much contact with the people on the Island of Despair.
However, even though she watched over her, things might not end up as she wished. After all, how could a child who was born on the Island of Despair not be influenced by the people there?
"I." Amur paused for a moment and eventually said, "Okay. I'll look after Nyla."
“Thank you. I'll be relieved knowing that you're looking after her," Luca thanked him. She knew things would be more difficult for her in the future without Amur helping her.
However, Abel had always been such a person. He would appear and place obstacles in her way when she thought things were getting better.
That was why Luca did not depend on Amur too much. She would not ask for Amur's help if it was something she could handle.
Even though no one was helping her, she could depend on herself. She would not get knocked down by Abel easily.
Luca let out a sigh when she noticed that her lunch break would be over soon. She said, "Okay, Amur. I'm going to work. Have a safe journey."
"Okay..." Amur was reluctant to part with her. He did not want to see Luca together with Luke again, but it was useless no matter how hard he tried to stop them.
Amur would not be able to know what was going on between Luca and Luke after he went back. He felt uncomfortable at the thought of it. It was as though countless tiny sandstones were churning in his heart.
"Nyla and I will be waiting for your good news on the Island of Despair.."
Amur hung up the call as soon as he finished his sentence.
The Island of Despair, huh.
Luca was left in a daze. If it were not for Nyla, who was still in there, she would never have thought of going back there in the future.
However, Nyla was their daughter!
Hence, even if she found the antidote, she would still return to the Island of Despair. She would save Nyla, Eler, and her brother and get them out of there on her own.
Luca walked out of the washroom holding her phone in her hands. She ran into Zoey who just walked in.
"Good afternoon, Dr. Craw," Zoey smiled and greeted her.
"Good afternoon," replied Luca. She remembered that there were documents that needed to be photocopied, so she said, "Oh, Ms. Davis, there's a pile of documents on my desk that I need you to photocopy for me. Please get the documents from me when you're available. I need eight sets of them for each document."
"Okay. No problem. I'll head to your office later," replied Zoey. Then, she entered the washroom.
After Luca put on her white coat, she marched into the laboratory and continued with her research.
The following day.
When Luca woke up in the morning, Luke had already gotten out of bed as usual.
Luca sat up on her bed and looked at the closed bedroom door. If she got it right, Luke was already working in his bedroom which was right opposite her room.
There were two bedrooms, but the bedroom seemed to have become Luke's study after some time. Meanwhile, he shared her bedroom.
After Luca cleaned herself up, she headed downstairs, planning to help Aunt Neile to prepare breakfast.
Who would have known that the moment she made her way down the stairs, Aunt Neile had already served breakfast on the table?
"Aunt Neile, why are you so early today?" Luca asked with surprise.
“Uh, Ms. Craw, I came here early today because I thought of picking up my grandson after making breakfast. Then I'll head to the supermarket to get some groceries..." explained Aunt Neile.
Luca remembered that Aunt Neile's grandson was a year younger than Tommy, and he was already going to kindergarten.
The child did not go to kindergarten today, so Aunt Neile would be bringing him along with her. Luca asked, "What's wrong? Is your grandson still sick?"
"Yes. He's still having a fever. Sometimes, the fever is gone, but it would come again. The teacher was worried that she couldn't take care of him, so she suggested the child stay at home and come back to the kindergarten after he has recovered. You know, my son and daughter-in-law have to work every
day. The company didn't approve their leave. That's why I have no choice but to bring the child with me before they go to work. Ms. Craw, don't worry. Even if I bring him here, I'll carry him with me. He won't make a mess of this place. Besides, my daughter-in-law will be getting off work early today. She'll come to pick him up after she gets off work. We won't disturb your children," Aunt Neile assured.
It was inappropriate to bring a child to work, but Aunt Neile was left with no choice.
If it were not for her daughter-in-law being unable to take the day off, she would not have done something like this.
"Aunt Neile, don't worry. If you bring the child here, just leave him here. He's a good child. I believe he won't mess things up. Plus, the maid room on the first floor has been tidied. If the child is tired or sleepy, let him rest in the room." Luca understood it was not easy for Aunt Neile, so she made the decision on behalf of Luke.
Luca knew Luke would say that too when he heard it.
“Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Craw!" Aunt Neile let out a sigh of relief when Luca agreed to let her bring her grandson here. “Um, is Mr. Crawford up yet? I'll have to inform him."
“He's up and he's working in his bedroom. Bring his breakfast upstairs," replied Luca. Although breakfast was ready, Luca was not planning to wake the children up.
Children needed more time to rest. Getting more sleep was physically and mentally healthy for them.
