As the agent listened to her concerns, she smiled and exined, “Miss, don’t worry. The apartment is
located in a high-end residential area. Thendlords who can afford the apartment units there are
certainly are people with good personal qualities. And the apartment uses an electronic door lock. The
password can be reset. Others won’t know the password except for the tenant herself.”
Luca nodded her head and did not say anything more.
It was a steal for Nina to be able to rent an apartment at that price. The agent had exined to them
that thendlord was nning to immigrate and thought that it was a pity to leave the house empty, so
he wanted to rent it out as soon as possible. That was why the rental was so cheap.
It was a reasonable exnation, but Luca had this weird feeling from the beginning.
Nina signed the agreement and agreed with the agent that she would be moving in tomorrow.
She had been excusing herself from work because of all sorts of matters in the past two days, so she
wanted to move in earlier, clean up everything, and go back to work.
Even though something had happened in her life, still she could not allow herself to break down
because of this.
After both of them left the agency, Luca sat in the passenger seat and leaned on the car window with
her forehead against it.
Nina saw her and asked with concern, “Are you tired? You look awful.”
“Probably. I’ll be fine after going back and resting for a while.” Luca knew it was because she had the
antidote, so she was not feeling too well now. Previously whenever she took the antidote, she would
encounter such situations where her body suffered from physical lethargy. However, it was never that
serious.
It was just that it was much more serious this time. She reckoned that it was because of her weak body.
“Then let’s go back.” Nina felt slightly guilty when she saw Luca in such an ufortable state. If she
had not asked her to apany her to look at the houses, she would be resting now.
Luca nodded her head.
After Nina drove back to the hotel, both of them went into the elevator together.
Although Nina knew nothing, when she saw a few people sitting in the lobby, she said in a soft voice,
“Why do I feel like there are always people sitting in the lobby in the past two days?”
“I’m not sure either.” Luca looked at the look of confusion on Nina’s face. She did not n to tell her
about it.
Firstly, she had no idea how to exin to Nina that these people were sent by Luke to keep an eye on
her. Secondly, one or two of them were sent by Percy.
They wanted to ensure Nina’s safety, so Luca did not intend to tell her.
“That’s weird. They don’t look like guests, and the hotel staff aren’t sending them away either. It’s kind
of scary for a few men to be sitting there,” Nina mumbled. She had her arm hooked around Luca’s. She
could feel Luca’s body warmth and looked at her. She saw Luca’s face turn much paler as well.
“Luca, it seems like your body is burning. Are you having a fever?”
Luca touched her forehead when she heard that. It seemed like it was hot, but it was still fine. She
replied, “I don’t think so. I think my body temperature is still fine.”
“You look more awful than just now.” Nina stroked her hand worriedly.
“I’m just tired. I’ll be fine after getting some sleep.” Luca smiled andforted her.
Nina thought that since Luca knew some medical knowledge, she would probably be fine after getting
some sleep. Nina walked into the guest room and pulled the curtains. Then, she said, “Alright, get
some sleep. I’m getting some rest too. I won’t disturb you.”
“Alright.” Luca nodded her head andy on the bed.
She was having a slight fever, so she fell into a deep sleep. Even when noises wereing from
Nina’s side, they did not wake her up.
Luca slept through the afternoon. Nina was afraid that she would wake Luca up, so shey beside her.
When she was unable toy still on the bed, she sat up and looked at the other side of the bed.
Luca had not moved. If not for the slight movement of the nket, she would think that Luca was not
breathing.
“Luca…” Nina called out in a gentle voice. It was almost six o’clock in the evening, but Luca had not
woken up even once. She did not even go to the bathroom.
Nina called out, but there was no response from Luca.
“Could she be sick?” Nina was worried. She got out of the bed and walked toward Luca’s side.
“Luca? Dr. Craw?” She called out twice, but there was no response again.
Nina switched on the lights, and Luca finally seemed to react. She frowned, but she did not open her
eyes.
Nina saw this and reached out to touch her forehead.
It was burning, and it was not merely a slight fever anymore. Nina felt guilty as she looked at Luca’s
pale face and the redness on her cheek. She had no idea Luca had fallen ill.
Given the circumstances, Luca had to be sent to the hospital now.
“Luca, Luca, can you hear me?” Nina shook Luca’s body.
“Uh…” Luca was in a daze and did not open her eyes. She only grunted as a response.
Nina was distraught when she saw this.
Although Luca was not heavy, Nina was very thin and weak. She was certain that she was unable to
carry Luca, but Luca had to go to the hospital…
Should Nina call the ambnce?
Nina hurriedly picked up her phone that was on the bed at the thought of this. When she was about to
dial the emergency number, Luke Crawford came across her mind.
She hesitated for a few seconds and eventually gave Luke a call.
She briefly told him about Luca feeling sick but Luke did not say anything. He only told her to wait for
him and hung up the phone.
Nina listened to the busy tone on the other side of the phone and pondered. There was a hint of anxiety
in Luke’s words.
She seemed to have never seen Luke feeling anxious for another woman other than Bianca…
Nina looked at Luca who was lying on the bed. Was Luke falling for her?
Once a man began to take a woman seriously, it would be difficult for her to reject his kindness,
especially men like Luke Crawford.
Would Luca have an ulterior motive for Luke because of this?
Nina was slightly struggling with this question. Although it had been a long time since Bianca contacted
her, she still thought of her as her best friend. After all, their friendship was genuine for so many years.
It was just that Luca had been helping her so much now.
From the moral point of view, if there was really something happening between Luca and Luke, then it
was definitely Luca’s fault.
Nina being a woman herself, she should be criticizing such a thing.
However, she had yed such a role before. Hence, what made her think that she had the right to
criticize Luca?
Nina snapped back to her senses and realized that she was overthinking.
Since Luca had nothing to do with Luke now, why should she think so much about it? However, if such
things happened in the future, what was she going to do then?
Should she side with Bianca or Luca?

Nina stared at Luca, who was asleep, and said softly, “Luca, don’t be such a person.”
The doorbell rang after half an hour.
Nina went to open the door and saw Luke standing in front of her. She made way for him and said,
“Hurry up and bring Luca to the hospital.”
