Tommy listened to the conversation between the adults and came to assist, saying, "Daddy, Ms. Luca,


    don''t worry. I promise that I''ll be good and listen to the cleaningdy, Lanie, and Rainie. I''ll be waiting


    for you toe home!"


    Luca nodded and said, "Okay."


    Luke walked into the opposite room and said, "Give me five minutes. I have to change."


    "Mm." Luca nodded.


    Tommy took her hand and whispered, "Ms. Luca, you have to follow closely behind Daddy when you''re


    out."


    "Why?" Luca was intrigued. She crouched down and looked at the child.


    "It''s dangerous and there are many people out there! Only by following Daddy closely can he keep you


    safe!" Tommy touched the top of her head as she did to him previously. "Ms. Luca, you''re my favorite


    person. You have to keep yourself safe.”


    Luca was not sure how to feel. Tommy was so young but he already learned to say such things. She


    looked at the serious look in his eyes and nodded. "I will."


    Luke changed his clothes, opened the bedroom door, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw


    their interaction.


    Luca subconsciously stood up.


    "Daddy, you must protect Ms. Luca when you''re outside. Don''t let bad guys take her away!" Tommy


    nagged them like a little old man.


    "I''ll protect her. Don''t worry." Luke looked at the child, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He could


    not help but smile.


    "Don''t worry about us. You should leave now so you cane back early. I want Ms. Luca to tell me a


    story before I go to bed," Tommy said. He then went downstairs with his coloring book.


    Luca followed behind Tommy.


    Seeing that she did not say anything, Luke was not bothered and went downstairs with them.


    After he exined the situation to the kids, Luke left with Luca and drove her to the hospital.


    The atmosphere in the car was silent, and Luca''s nerves were tense. She felt a little ufortable


    every time she was in such a small space with Luke.


    She was worried that her thoughts would be seen through by him.


    Luca sped her hands together, thought about it for a while, and broke the silence. “Uh, is there


    enough evidence to charge Pierre now?"


    She was worried that this time would be the same as thest, where Pierre paid off some people and


    got away with it.


    "Yes," Luke said, "The vi where Nina was held captive belongs to Pierre''s mother, which was why no


    matter how deep Percy dug before, he didn''t find anything. He didn''t take this into ount."


    ‘If the vi is owned by his mother, I''m sure Mr. Mallory wouldn''t dare to act rashly. If Madam Mallory is


    involved, this will be a difficult matter to handle. Madam Mallory has always disliked Nina. If Mr. Mallory


    involves her because of this, the Mallory family''s impression of Nina may worsen.'' Luca was worried.


    On the one hand, she hoped that Pierre would get the punishment he deserved, but on the other hand,


    she hoped that Nina could find her happiness.


    However, it would be difficult for Nina to be happy with Percy. If she wanted to pursue Pierre because


    of this matter, she may annoy Madam Mallory. At that time, if she wanted to get the support of the


    Mallory family to be with Percy, Luca was afraid it would be impossible.


    "Percy will take care of it," Luke replied.


    Luca looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean by that? Does Mr. Mallory have


    another way?"


    "He received an anonymous phone call, and after he found out that the vi belonged to his mother, he


    started gathering evidence. When he entered the vi, the maid admitted to him that Pierre made her


    do all of it. Even if the maid wants to flip her statement, it''ll be impossible," Luke said.


    Luca nodded. Although he said that it was unlikely that the maid would change her statement, it was


    still possible with the intervention of the Mallory family. Even if they have a recording of her confession,


    the police station would still acquit Pierre and say that he was framed.


    When she thought of that, Luca felt that she still had to rely on the strength of the Ind of Despair to


    deal with Pierre.


    However, those from the Ind of Despair were not moving fast enough...


    ''It would be great if those people could hurry up.''


    Luca''s mood wasplicated. She did not even notice when Luke parked the car in the hospital''s


    parking lot.


    "We''re here." Luke turned his face sideways to look at Luca, who was in the driver''s seat. Her brows


    were furrowed, so he knew at one nce that she was deep in thought.


    It was not hard to guess that she was thinking about Nina.


    "Ah, that''s great." Luca came back to her senses, unfastened her seat belt, opened the car door, and


    looked at the familiar hospital parking lot. She smiled wryly when she thought of how fated she seemed


    to be with the hospital. She had been here countless times, no matter if it involved her directly or


    indirectly.


    Whenever she saw the hospital, she felt depressed.


    "Let''s go," Luke told her as he opened the door and got out of the car.


    Luca nodded and walked side by side with him. The two soon arrived at Nina''s ward.


    At that point, Nina had woken up and her fever had almost subsided.


    "Nina, how are you?" Luca walked in and asked when she saw Nina sitting up.


    Nina''s body was a little weak because she had not eaten for several days. She said, "I''m fine. I''m


    wonderful."


    Luca looked at her pale lips and knew that Nina was just trying tofort her. She nced at the IV


    fluid and did not need to look closely to know that it was glucose solution.


    She guessed that Nina deliberately went on a hunger strike so that she could escape. Otherwise, her


    weight would not have dropped so drastically.


    "You look so weak... What did the doctor say?" Luca walked over, ignoring Percy.


    She still resented Percy in her heart.

    If it were not for his previous incident with the Johnston family, Nina would not have left. It was only


    because Nina was without his protection that Pierre was so bold and dared to hurt Nina.


    "The doctor said that I''m fine, I need to stay for observation for one night and can be discharged


    tomorrow if my fever is gone," Nina said. Right after she woke up, she told Johann about what had


    happened.


    Aside from not eating and drinking, the people in Pierre''s vi did not act violently against her.


    She just had a fever but her body was okay. She was not in pain.


    Luca sighed and looked at Percy.


    He looked gloomy.


    Luke cleared his throat and said to Percy, "Percy,e out. I have something to discuss with you."


    Percy looked at Nina as if he was unwilling to leave.


    "Mr. Mallory, I''ll keep a close eye on Nina, don''t worry," Luca said. She knew that Luke had something


    important to discuss with Percy, so she came to his aid.


    If she guessed correctly, what Luke was going to say must have something to do with Pierre and the


    anonymous phone call.


    Nina would not want to hear Pierre''s name, so they definitely could not discuss it in front of her.


    The anonymous call...


    She wondered if they would track the location of that anonymous call...


    Nevertheless, they would not find anything even if they tried. After all, Amur would not easily leave


    traces that could be tracked.
