He mentioned Luke...


    Luca felt helpless. After Luke''s car ident, Luke''s brand was put on her body.


    However, she could not bring herself to hate what they were doing.


    That was because if the incident before had not happened, she would have been Luke''s.


    After Luca left the prescription, she turned around and left. She took the elevator to the first floor and


    unexpectedly bumped into someone she did not want to see.


    Jean Langdon...


    Jean had juste out of the detention center. He was still in handcuffs and was apanied by two


    policemen in uniforms.


    When everyone saw them, they were worried that Jean was a murderer and all fled.


    When Luca saw that it was Jean, she was about to turn around and leave via another exit. However, it


    was toote. Jean called out to her, "Luca!"


    There was a little trace of joy in his tone. He did not seem to feel ashamed that he was handcuffed and


    escorted by police.


    Luca had to stop. She turned around and looked at him with a frown.


    "It is you!" Jean ignored the two policemen beside him and walked up to Luca. "How have you been


    recently?"


    Luca nced at the handcuffs on his hands with an indifferent expression. "Doing better than you."


    Jean thought that she minded the handcuffs on his hands, so he said with a smile, "Come on now. I''m


    innocent and will be out soon."


    "Innocent?" Luca sneered. "Tyrone is still lying in the ward after being beaten up by you. He may even


    end up being disabled. How dare you say that you''re innocent?!"


    "Disabled?" Jean''s expression changed slightly, then it returned to normal, "Don''t lie to me. He was hit


    by a bottle, so how can it be so serious? He''s not made of ss. He won''t shatter when touched."


    "I''m not lying to you. If his family goes after you, you can start preparing to spend a few years in


    prison." Luca nced at the two policemen beside him and wondered why they allowed him to stand


    there and talk to her.


    "It''s okay, Nina won''t let anything happen to me. Besides, with Percy, anything that can be settled with


    money won''t be an issue." Jean was optimistic because he knew that Nina would take care of


    everything for him.


    "Naive fool." Luca frowned in disgust. Jean was older and more educated than Nina, but he was acting


    like an ignorant man who thought everything was going to be alright.


    It was sad that Nina, a normal woman, was forced to clean up all her brother''s mess...


    "Don''t say that. I''m quite manly. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have made a move when he touched Marie. See,


    I protect the weak, but it''s unfortunate that I went a little too far this time, Next time, I certainly won''t,"


    Jean said.

    "Marie?" Luca''s brows furrowed even more deeply. ''Does this matter involve Marie?''


    "Yeah, I bumped into Marie at the bar and she asked me for help. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have bothered."


    Jean did not want Luca to know that he was previously in a rtionship with Marie, so he made


    something up.


    "..." Luca knew that when it came to Marie, nothing good coulde out of it.


    It was the same at the vi and the same when Jean bumped into her.


    "Why aren''t you saying anything? Don''t get me wrong. I just happened to meet her at the bar. I wouldn''t


    have done anything if she hadn''t asked me for help and told me that Tyrone was harassing her," Jean


    continued to lie with his eyes open.


    The police could not stand by as Jean positioned himself as the hero. The whole thing started because


    the two men were fighting over Marie.


    "Enough with the chit-chat. Let''s head back to the station. You''re still detained." A policeman pulled


    Jean''s handcuffs and wanted to leave.


    Jean was forced to follow behind the police. As he was walking off, he said, "Luca, don''t


    misunderstand. I have nothing to do with someone like Marie!"


    Luca was close with Nina. Maybe Nina had already told her that he was involved with Marie before this


    and got tricked.


    As such, he did not want Luca to think he was back with Marie.


    If she thought so, he would have no chance with her.


    The other policeman listened to what Jean said, shook his head helplessly, looked at Luca, and said,


    "Ma''am, don''t listen to him. It''s all nonsense. After an investigation, we found that they fought in a bar


    for a woman with thest name Rayne. This woman came with him. She didn''t show up out of the


    blue." He did not want Luca to be fooled, so he said what he said.


    "I see, thank you." After Luca thanked the policeman, she turned around and left.


    She was aware of the kind of man Jean was. After all, a leopard could not change its spots. Even if


    Jean hade out of prison, he was still the same man.


    He still wanted to get close after knowing what kind of person Marie was. He asked for it, so he


    deserved to be injured and caught.


    ''Poor Nina.''


    Luca nced at the time and did not n to stay in the hospital for much longer. She guessed that the


    results of the analysis she did that morning should be ready. As she thought of that, she walked to the


    open-air parking lot of the hospital and got into the car.


    She did not drive off immediately and waited for the car to warm up a little before she drove away.


    Luca arrived at the vi and entered the living room. She heard the maid say, "Ms. Craw, you''re back.


    Sir was asking me where you were."


    Luca nodded and replied, "What else did he say?"


    "Nothing else. I told him that you went to the hospital to help your friend," the maid said.


    "Okay, I see." Luca put the backpack on the sofa, then walked to the maid''s room. She knocked on the


    door.


    "Come in." Luke''s tone was a little cold.


    Luca opened the door, walked into the room, looked at the man sitting at the desk, and called out to


    him, "Mr. Crawford."


    Luke did not look up as he responded, "You''re back?"


    "Yes," Luca nodded. Luke seemed busy, so she thought that he should not have anyments about


    her going to the hospital.


    Luke still did not look up as he asked, "You went to help Nina?"


    "Yes, Tyrone had his stitches removed today. He needs to continue with the next step of treatment. I


    treated him with dry needling," Luca answered honestly. Johann was there, so even if she did not tell


    him, he could always find out from Johann.


    "Do you still need to go again?" Luke continued to ask, still not looking at her.


    Luca listened to his t and calm tone. It did not seem like he was angry, so she breathed a sigh of


    relief. On the way back, she was worried that he would me her for being nosy.


    After all, she also thought that it was better to have less contact with someone like Tyrone.


    "I need to go once more. I asked Dr. Park to help me find a doctor who can do dry needling. I


    demonstrated it to him this time. Next time, I''ll guide him so he can get the hang of it. After that, I won''t


    have to go anymore," Luca exined in detail.
