Even though Nina was not willing to be together with Percy, she had to admit that he took very good


    care of her.


    She had a stable job, but the sry could never satisfy her mother and elder brother’s voracious


    appetite for money.

    “Many people are suffering. We usually don’t see the suffering around us because we’re too focused on


    our lives,” Luca said, feeling quite emotional.


    “Mm.” Nina agreed with Luca, though she was not in the mood.


    Seeing that Nina was quite dejected, Luca guessed that what happened in the security guard’s house


    triggered some unhappy memory in Nina’s mind.


    She felt sorry for her best friend, and she held back the urge to give her a hug.


    When she was Bianca, they hugged each other quite often, no matter if they were happy or sad.


    However, she was not Bianca now…


    Luca drove the car back to Luke’s apartment, parked the car by the side of the road, and ordered a


    designated driver from the app on her phone.


    Nina came to her senses after the car stopped. She nced out of the window and said, “Oh, we’re


    already here. You should go back.”


    “In a while. I’ve ordered a designated driver for you. She’ll be here in a few minutes,” Luca said.


    “I’m not drunk. I don’t need one,” Nina said while rubbing her forehead. She was only distracted


    because she was thinking of something, and she did not need someone to drive her car for her.


    “You’re not in the condition to drive now,” Luca said disapprovingly.


    Nina sighed. In any case, the designated driver was almost there, so they sat there and waited.


    The driver arrived three minutester. As Luca stepped out of the car, she looked at Nina and said, “If


    you’re harboring any questions in your mind, you can just ask them. Don’t keep it all to yourself.”


    Nina smiled and waved her hand. “Alright, I know.”


    “Give me a call when you reach home,” Luca said, still feeling worried about her.


    “Alright. You should go home.” Nina stepped out of the car, waved goodbye to Luca, then sat in the


    backseat.


    Luca stood at the entrance. She watched Nina leave before going back to her apartment.


    The maid saw her and said, “Wee back, Ms. Craw. Did you have fun today?”


    “Not bad,” Luca said impassively. She did not show any emotion toward the maid’s prying questions.


    She guessed that the maid was only showing concern because Luke asked her to…


    The maid nodded, seeing that Luca was quite calm. She continued asking, “Do you want a drink?”


    “Give me a ss of warm water. I haven’t taken my medicine for today,” Luca said.


    The maid went into the kitchen and poured a ss of water for Luca. Then, she took out her phone and


    sent Luke a message: [Ms. Craw looks normal. I can’t tell what she’s thinking.]


    After sending the message, she returned to the living room with the ss.


    Luca took the ss, poured several pills from the medicine bottle, then swallowed it.


    “How do you feel today, Ms. Craw?” The maid asked out of concern.


    “The wound doesn’t hurt as much anymore,” Luca said as she put the ss on the table. She stood up


    and said, “I’m going to rest. I feel a little tired.”


    “Alright. I’ll wake you up when it’s time for dinner,” the maid said with a smile.


    Luca went into the bedroom, closed the door behind her, and sat on the bed.


    She felt that she was being spied on when she was living in Luke’s apartment. Even though the maid


    seemed like a normal person, Luca guessed that she was one of Luke’s spies.


    Luke had many capable people under him. Despite being Luke’s wife, she had never met them all.


    Luca did not know if the maid had been taking care of the apartment, or if Luke had tasked her to spy


    on Luca. She also did not know what the maid’s real capabilities were.


    Abel wanted her to get close to Luke as soon as possible, but he did not consider her situation.


    Now, she had no one to turn to.


    Luca remembered that she would have to go and take the antidote in two days. She had to find an


    excuse to leave the apartment.


    She was already an adult, but she still had toe up with excuses to leave the house, and at the


    same time not let the maid follow her…


    Luca sighed andy on the bed. The medicine caused her to fall asleep.

    She was woken up by Nina’s message. The message had caused the phone in her hand to vibrate.


    Nina said that she had arrived safely at home and told Luca not to worry. After Luca read it, she


    continued to sleep.


    Meanwhile, after Nina sent the message, she nned to rest for a while. However, she could not forget


    what Luca told her earlier, so she gave a phone call to Percy.


    The call was picked up after five rings. Nina felt dizzy when she heard Percy’s voice.


    “Where are you now?” She said while clenching her fists to control her emotions.


    Percy was quite happy to answer Nina’s call. After all, it was rare that she called him. “I’m still on a


    business trip overseas, and I’ll only be back in two days. Did something happen?”


    He had gotten someone to keep an eye on Nina, and he knew that an emergency happened in Nina’s


    family.


    Percy wanted Nina to ask him for help, so he did not tell her that he already knew what happened. He


    did not expect that she would call him either.


    “Yes, something happened. I know that you’re still in the country. Let’s meet up,” Nina said.


    “I’m not in the country.” Percy frowned. She sounded very sure, and he wondered how she found out


    that he was still in the country.


    He knew that Nina’s daily life alternated between work and the mansion, and she would never meet


    him. How did she find out?


    “You don’t have to lie to me. It must be quite troublesome to pretend that you’re overseas. I’m at the


    mansion, so you cane back whenever you’re free. I have something important to tell you,” Nina


    said insistently.


    She realized that she had been kept in captivity for far too long, and she had lost the courage to leave.


    That was why she wanted to tell him everything she wanted to say, then leave these horrible days


    behind her.


    She wanted to do so even if she did not have the money to leave.


    After all, that money was mere pocket change to Percy. Moreover, she had spent many years beside


    him, so the money would make up for the time she had wasted on Percy.


    Percy frowned when he heard the calmness in her voice. She was not throwing a tantrum.


    “We can talk over the phone if there’s anything,” he said, not willing to admit that he was still in the


    country.
