Chapter 1306 She Would Have to Bear With It for Now


    Luke seemed pensive. Judging from her current condition, she would only wake up the next morning.


    Since Luca was not waking up anytime soon, Luke leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.


    The next morning, when Luca opened her eyes and saw the ceiling above her, she was quite surprised.


    Furrowing her brows, she tried to jog her memory about what happened the night before.


    Hotel, Luke, Abel...


    Before she could organize her thoughts, she heard Luke''s voice next to him. "You''re awake."


    His voice waszy yet charming. Luca turned her head and saw the man sitting on the chair. The


    sunlight shone from the window andnded on her back, and the re made her unable to discern his


    expression.


    "I''m..." She sat up and looked at her clothes.


    She was still wearing the clothes from the night before, though they were slightly wrinkled.


    "Do you remember what happenedst night?" Luke asked. Jason had brought Dr. Albus and the


    others to have their blood samples taken at the hospital, and they would receive the results soon.


    Luca frowned. Before she passed out, she heard Abel say that he had nned all that for Luke.


    Abel would like to see how much Luke liked her...


    Luca looked around her and immediately realized where she was. Luke must have saved her the night


    before.


    Abel, on the other hand, must have enjoyed some entertainment.


    "Why aren''t you speaking?" Luke stood up and towered over her.


    Luca came to her senses. She could not tell Luke about Abel''s n. The cogs in her brain whirred,


    trying toe up with a usible excuse.


    A few secondster, she lifted her head and looked at the man in front of her. "I forgot," she said


    nkly.


    "You were invited to have a drink," Luke narrowed her gaze and reminded her.


    Luca blinked and nodded. "I remember that."


    "And then?" Luke asked.


    "Dr. Albus and the others drank some wine with Abel. I wasn''t feeling well, so I drank some warm water


    instead. I don''t remember anything after that..." Luca did not lie that she was drunk from the alcohol.


    She did not want to risk Luke calling out her lie. 1


    Luke must have guessed that she did not drink any wine because her breath did not smell of alcohol. If


    he found out that she had lied to him, he would not believe anything else


    she would say.


    Luke stared at her.


    Luca rubbed her forehead and asked, "What happened to me?"


    "You were drugged," Luke said, sure of his conclusion even though Johann did not take her blood


    sample. "Don''t you always carry some medicine with you? How did you get drugged this time?"


    Luke''s tone was slightly usatory, which made Luca feel uneasy.


    She lowered her head and said, "I didn''t expect that to happen at the event. Also, I forgot to bring the


    medicine with me..."


    To make her words more believable, she said, "Do you know who was the person who drugged me?


    What did they do to me?"


    "I don''t know, and they did nothing to you." Luke felt an inexplicable sense of anger. It was rare that


    Luca was so careless, and the mastermind seemed to be targeting him.


    "Oh," Luca replied.


    The bedroom door opened, and Tommy scampered inside. He grinned when he saw that Luca was


    awake and in good spirits. "You''re awake, Ms. Luca!"


    Luca could not help but smile when she saw the boy. "Mm."


    Tommy propped himself up at the edge of the bed, and his


    eyes carefully examined Luca. He did not sleep well because he was worried about Luca, and he was


    woken up several times by unpleasant dreams. "I''m so happy that you''re okay, Ms. Luca. I was so


    worried about you. I


    dreamed that something bad happened to you, and I even woke up crying once. Please don''t make me


    worry about you anymore, alright?"


    Luca patted the boy''s head. She could feel a twinge in her nose.


    To him, she was only Ms. Luca" and not his mother, but she did not expect that he was so concerned


    about her.


    Luca thought that she should not have let the child worry.

    Tm d that they don''t know that the Bianca in A City is only an impostor and I''m the real one. Tommy


    would be devastated to find out about that...''


    "Why aren''t you talking, Ms. Luca? Are you still feeling ufortable?" Tommy asked while sniffling.


    After waking up crying, he wanted toe over to look for Luke and Luca, but he thought about it and


    decided not to disturb them.


    "No," Luca shook her head and said. ''Tm sorry."


    "Why are you saying sorry, Ms. Luca?" Tommy felt at ease when he finally heard her speak. "You did


    nothing wrong. It''s all the baddies'' fault."


    Baddies?'' Luca was confused. She instinctively turned her head to look at Luke, but he said nothing,


    which made her even more curious.


    "Luckily, Daddy managed to find you. You shouldn''t say Tm sorry.'' Instead, you should say ''Thank you.''


    to Daddy."


    Luca thought what Tommy said made sense, though she was still curious about what happened to her


    the night before. Mr. Crawford, what happened to mest night?"


    Luke could tell that she really wanted to know, so he told her everything that happened.


    Luca lowered her head as she listened to Luke''s recollection of events. If Luke had note to her


    rescue, some other person would have found her in the hotel room...


    Knowing how depraved those people were, she could guess that they would vite her...


    How cruel Abel was to test Luke''s feelings for her!


    Luca''s gaze sharpened when she was reminded of Abel''s face. One day, she would take her revenge,


    but she had to bear with it now. ''


    The room was silent. After a while, she said, "Thank you."


    "You''re wee," Luke said as he walked toward the bedroom door. "You shouldn''t go to the


    conference today if you''re not feeling well."


    "Mm," Luca replied and got out of bed.


    Her body teetered when she tried to stand up, and Tommy looked at her worriedly. "''Are you okay, Ms.


    Luca?"


    "I''m fine. I think I should rest a bit more." Luca shook her head and smiled, trying to calm the boy down.


    Tommy nodded and said, "Then you should lie down again. Don''t stand up."


    "I need to go back to my room. I still have some work to do." Luca shook her head. She noticed her


    handbag on the couch, and she inched steadily toward there, even though her entire body felt lethargic.


    Tommy followed behind her worriedly.
