The female doctor replied, "She''s asleep. Don''t worry. We added a drug that puts her to sleep in the IV
drip to prevent her from crying and causing us any trouble."
The maid nodded.
The female doctor looked at Nina''s face and sighed quietly. "She''s hardly considered a stunning
beauty. Her figure is slim and looks good, but she''s way too skinny in some parts. She''s different from
the other women Boss used to be with."
The two doctors were private doctors whom Pierre had hired. That was why they knew most of Pierre''s
ex-girlfriends.
The maid said, "As ordinary as she looks, this woman seems to be Boss'' favorite. Now, stop talking
nonsense. You''ll probably get into trouble in the future if she can hear you. Judging from her situation
now, she''s going to submit to the boss sooner orter."
"She''s asleep now. She can''t hear any of this. Rx," said the female doctor. The IV drip had just
finished. She pulled off the needle, pressed on the injection spot for a while, and let go of it. After
confirming that the wound on Nina''s hand was no longer bleeding, she brought the equipment with her
and left the room. "Oh, if she refuses to eat again, we''ll have to give her another shot at noontime
tomorrow. The nutrition injection can onlyst 24 hours."
"Alright." The maid looked at Nina who was deeply asleep. Then, she walked out of the room and
closed the door.
She took her phone out and reported to Pierre about what had happened.
It was already evening. After Lucapleted her work, she gave Percy a call. She felt upset after
knowing that his men were still looking for Nina, but they did not have a clue where she was.
She looked at her phone. The thought of using the resources from the Ind of Despair came into her
mind.
However, Abel was looking at her.
If Abel knew that Nina was one of her weaknesses too, Nina would probably be in danger if anything
happened in the future. She dispelled the thought when she thought of this.
Knock, knock. Someone was knocking on her office door.
Luca lifted her head and saw Jason standing at her door. She stood up and asked, "Mr. Doyle, what''s
the matter?"
Jason replied, "Dr. Craw, isn''t it time to get off work? Why are you still sitting here?" Luke was in a good
mood today. He did not go too far when stating problems with the department managers'' work during
the meeting. Besides, everything was on schedule. That was why they could get a rare chance to get
off work on time.
Luca nced at the time. Indeed, it was time to get off work. She smiled and said, "I''m leavingter."
"Alright. Oh, I came to return your thermos sk," said Jason. He put down the thermos sk he was
carrying in his hands.
Luca replied immediately, "There''s no need to. You may take it. I won''t be using it either."
Jason did not insist on returning the bottle. He smiled and left.
Luca stood up to clean up her table. She recalled that she had already moved out when she was about
to leave.
Luke had yet to tell her the address...
Luca hesitated for a moment. She sent a message to Luke as she did not want to be homeless: [Mr.
Crawford, you haven''t sent me the address.]
After a while, Luke sent her the location.
Luca looked at it and frowned. This area was a vi district, right?
Besides, it was a vi district located near the office.
Luke asked her to move out of the apartment and into a vi district?
Most of the vis there were upied by people with families. Was it not too luxurious for her to stay
there alone? Moreover, it was inappropriate.
Luca had a feeling that if outsiders were to learn about this, they would think that Luke was keeping her
as his mistress.
This vi would seem like the ce where he was hiding his mistress.
[Mr. Crawford, did you send me the wrong location?] Even though she knew Luke was unlikely to have
sent the wrong location to her, she confirmed with him once again.
[No, I didn''t. The movingpany has moved your things into the house. The vi uses a digital door
lock too. The passcode is the same as the one at the apartment.] Luke replied to her message soon
after.
Luca looked at Luke''s confirmation and shook her head. She punched out, hailed a cab, and headed to
the new address.
Luca found the location of the vi based on the address given by Luke. She looked around the vi
and realized that the privacy of the vi was pretty good. There was some distance between the vi in
front and behind it. There was another vi on the other side. Luca saw that the lights were lit in that
vi, and there were noises of an electric drilling machine. Luca knew that the vi was under
renovation.
The door opened after she keyed in the passcode.
Luca pushed the door open and walked into the vi. A spacious front yard came into sight. She looked
at the design of the front yard. There was a pavilion, swing, and various kinds of vegetation that could
withstand the cold. Even though the weather was getting cold, the vegetation was still green and alive.
She also noticed that there was a huge rose flower wall in front of her.
The front yard decorations suited her taste very much.
Luca walked down the front yard and into the living room. She saw that her boxes were left there. She
headed to the kitchen first, then ced the antidote into the fridge''s freezerpartment.
Then, she opened the boxes one by one. She found the master bedroom and study room. Then, she
sorted out her things.
It was already dark outside when she finished settling down.
Luca sat on the sofa, reluctant to move around. After a while, the doorbell rang.
Was that Luke?
As she wondered, she saw that the person standing outside the door through the surveince camera
was not Luke. It was the delivery man. She went to open the door with some confusion.
"Hello Miss, this is the food that you ordered. Enjoy your meal." The delivery man handed the food to
her as soon as he saw Luca open the door.
Luca was confused and asked, “I didn''t order any food delivery. Did you send it to the wrong ce?”
The delivery man nced at the house number and confirmed with her. "Yes, I didn''t send it to the
wrong ce. The address given on the food delivery app stated that it''s here. May I know if you''re Ms.
Luca?"
"Yes." Luca nodded, but she emphasized again, "But I didn''t order any food delivery."
"Sure enough, the food is yours. Perhaps it was your husband who ordered it for you? Besides, I
needed the passcode toe in here. That''s why I''m pretty sure I''ve gotten it right," the delivery man
said.
Luca had no choice but to ept the takeout from him. Luke was the only one who knew she was
staying here. She shot a nce at the information given on the receipt. The address given was indeed
this house, and her name was on it. However, the phone number listed was Luke''s.
"Yes, this is my takeout. Thank you." She thanked him.
The delivery man smiled and said, "It''s alright. Enjoy your meal."
Luca watched the delivery man leave. She turned around and walked in. Then, she closed the door.
Luke happened to order food takeout for her at this time. What perfect timing.
After she packed away everything, she no longer had the energy to prepare dinner for herself.

Luca could not help but wonder if he had installed surveince cameras in the house. Otherwise, how
did he time it out perfectly?
