Luca tore the report apart and closed her eyes with her hand on her forehead to calm herself down.
There was not much time left. The inmmation of the wound was getting serious day after day. It
would leave an ugly tunneling wound on her waist if it took any longer for her to look for the cure.
However, she refused to ask for Abel''s help even if it would leave a scar on her.
This man only knew how to make terms when talking with others. He would probably assign Luca on
another mission if she went to look for him.
Luca had already ced Luke and her in a difficult position. She had no idea what Luke and T
Corporation would have to face next if Abel forced her to do something else.
That was why she could only depend on herself.
Luca pulled herself together. She picked up her phone, trying to find whether there were any
laboratories avable for rent in A City. She needed aboratory with advanced facilities.
There was indeed one once she searched the inte.
Luca gave Amur a call. "Amur, I was wondering if you have the time to help me with something?"
"Yes," Amur replied immediately without a second thought. As long as Luca asked for his help, he
would help her.
"I need to rent aboratory with advanced facilities for my experiment. So, I went searching on the
inte. Can you please help me to go over there to take a look at theboratory? I''d like to rent it if it''s
suitable," Luca asked.
Amur had been given medical training too when he was on the Ind of Despair. However, he was just
like Eler. They were not interested in this field. That was why Luca was the only one who continued to
study this, while they were arranged to learn some other skills.
Although Amur did not learn much about this, he still knew a thing or two about the facilities.
"No problem. But what do you need theb for? Is it because of the wound?" Amur questioned her.
"Yes." Luca let out a sigh. "It''s not healing yet. I can''t analyze the contents of the drug if I don''t have the
professional facilities for my experiment, so I''ll leave it to you. Thank you."
If it had not been for the heavy workload that made Luca unable to find some time to take a look at the
laboratory herself, she would not have asked for Amur''s help.
"Abel''s a savage!" Amur frowned. Luca''s wound was not even healed yet. If it were not for her busy
schedule, was she not nning to tell him about this?
“Who else can be that cruel?" Luca took a deep breath and looked down. Amur and her would not have
been forced to walk on this path if Abel was not this cruel.
Everyone''s pain came from somewhere, and Abel was the source of their pain.
Amur listened to Luca''s disappointed tone. He could not bear to me her for concealing this from him,
so he just said, "Send me theboratory''s address. I''ll head there now."
"Alright." Luca felt sad and angry at the same time, but she could not release her emotions. The only
thing she could do was face the difficulties positively.
Luca sent theboratory''s address to Amur after she ended the call. She asked him to help her see if
the facilities in theboratory were advanced enough.
She nned to ask for two days'' leave from Luke if the facilities in theboratory were advanced
enough. Then, she would head to theboratory to analyze the samples and solve the problem.
Amur replied to her: [Got it]
After that, he did not reply to any of her messages again.
Luca put down her phone and opened the door of the study.
She was startled to see Mrs. Laurel standing outside the door. "Mrs. Laurel, why are you here?"
Luca remembered what she said just now. She seemed to have been speaking in a soft voice. Judging
from the soundproofing of the study, Mrs. Laurel would not have heard anything.
"Ms. Luca, didn''t you skip lunch this noon? Mr. Crawford found out about it and asked me to deliver
some food for you. I made some porridge. Why don''t you have some?" Mrs. Laurel was still carrying
the tray. She remembered what Luke had ordered her, so she did not knock on the door. She had been
standing here the entire time.
Luke told her not to disturb Luca.
Hence, Mrs. Laurel had been waiting for almost half an hour outside the door.
Luca looked at the porridge and took it from her. "Thank you."
"Don''t mention it. Mr. Crawford told me that you have a weak stomach. You''ll have to eat on time. How
careless I''ve been," replied Mrs. Laurel. Mrs. Laurel was told that Luca would not be having lunch after
informing her that lunch was prepared. She did not insist on asking Luca to have her lunch either.
First of all, Luca was an adult. Adults would have to be responsible for their own health. That was why
Mrs. Laurel did not urge her to take her lunch.
Secondly, Mrs. Laurel did not expect Luke to care more about Luca''s health than Luca herself.
"I''ll eat it." Luca touched the edges of the bowl and realized that it was not hot.
She looked at Mrs. Laurel. The only exnation would be Mrs. Laurel had been standing here for quite
some time, and that was why the porridge had turned warm.
"Mrs. Laurel, have you been standing outside the door for a long time?" Luca asked.
Mrs. Laurel smiled and replied, "Not really. Mr. Crawford told me not to disturb you, so... Please eat it
first. I''m going downstairs to make dinner."
Luca nced at Mrs. Laurel. Her words were constantly resonating in her ears, and it made her feel
complicated.
Luke ordered her to do so.
Luca carried the tray back into her bedroom and ced it on the dressing table. She looked at the
porridge. She finished eating the porridge even though she had no appetite.
It was Luke''s kind thoughts...
Luca was unable to ept Luke''s kindness in front of others. However, deep down inside her heart,
she did not want to let him down.
Luke noticed Mrs. Laurel came down with empty hands.
“Has Luca finished her work?" he asked.
Mrs. Laurel answered, "Mr. Crawford, I''m not sure if she''s finished her work. But she came out of the
study and took the tray."
"Did you hear anything when you were waiting outside the study?" Luke asked. He had no idea what
research Luca was doing.
However, he was pretty sure that her research had nothing to do with the projects at Watson
Biopharmaceuticals now.
It seemed like she had been secretly doing her own research from the very start.

Luke was curious about what Luca had been researching, but he was unfamiliar with it. That was why
he did not manage to figure it out even though he was curious about it.
Besides, there were only a few samples that Luca was studying. He could not steal a sample and bring
it to someone else to ask about it.
These few days, she would walk into the study after she finished her work given by T Corporation. It
seemed like the research she was doing was of great significance.
What could make her study it so secretly?
The equipment she had for doing research was not advanced enough. It was obvious that the research
facilities here were for personal use. They were not as good as the ones in theboratory.
It would take more time for her to study something with those research facilities.
Luke remained silent. He wondered if he had set any rules and regtions in Watson
Biopharmaceuticals to prohibit researchers from using thepany''s facilities to do their research.
Was that why Luca was using the equipment she had to do her research?
Luke pondered. Watson Biopharmaceuticals had always encouraged employees to develop new drugs
on their own and propose new ideas and ns to thepany.
Not only were the research professors allowed to do so, but even research assistants were given this
privilege. If they achieved good results and submitted a report to thepany, thepany would also
allocate funds for them to do their research after examinations and approvals.
Hence, there were no such rigid rules in thepany.
