When Luca got into Warren''s car and headed back to T Corporation, it was already lunchtime.
Luca hurried upstairs, assuming that Luke must have finished eating his lunch by now. She nned to
head downstairs to grab something to eat after she put her briefcase in her office.
Luca walked out of the elevator and shot a nce at the assistants'' office first. Zoey and Rhett were
not in the office. She reckoned that they had gone out for lunch.
Then, Luca walked back to her office, pushed the door open, and saw Luke, who was sitting on the
sofa. She was startled for a moment.
“Mr. Crawford, why are you..." Luca nced at the lunch boxes on the coffee table. They were
unopened. Luke had been waiting for her toe back and have lunch with her.
"Come over here. Let''s have lunch together," said Luke as he opened the lids of the lunch boxes.
Luca put down her briefcase and walked toward the sofa before sitting down. Then, she said, "You
didn''t take your lunch first. You even waited for me.."
"I knew you wereing back," replied Luke. Warren had reported to him when Luca left the hospital.
Luca did not ask more as she knew it was Warren who informed him.
Luca did not have to drive anymore as Luke had assigned Warren beside her to be her chauffeur. Even
if someone was following them, she did not have to worry that her driving skills were not as good as her
enemy''s. However, at the same time, it was a little more troublesome. She had not gotten used to it.
After all, Luke would be able to know her whereabouts no matter where she went.
As usual, Luke helped her with lots of food on her te and handed it to her.
Luca took the te from him and took the initiative to mention what had happened at the hospital.
"Jean''s fine, but Nina fell out with her mother because of this," Luca slowly exined. She felt sorry for
Nina.
If it were not for her, Marie and Jean would not have known each other.
If she had firmly rejected Jean back then, perhaps Jean would have met someone better. At that time,
even if Anna favored Jean over Nina, she would not be as twisted as she was now.
What happened after that caused Nina to suffer more in her family.
"How did things turn out like that?" Luke asked while he took a bite.

"They signed a contract to sever ties with each other. Although the contract agreementcks legal
recognition, Mr. Mallory asked Mr. Zac to add many terms to the contract. In short, with an amount of
2.5 million dors in exchange for Nina''s peace, Anna and Jean can never bother her anymore. They''ll
have to return the money and pay a high interest rate at the same time if they dare to look for Nina,"
Luca briefly exined.
Luke paused for a moment while he was helping himself with the food and said, “Percy never loses
out.”
"Yeah..." replied Luca. Previously, she thought that Percy would only satisfy Anna''s and Jean''s greed
by doing that. After all, giving 2.5 million dors at once was not a big deal for businessmen like Percy.
However, the huge sum of money was a lot for Anna and Jean.
That was why she thought Percy lost out, but she did not expect that his defensive position was
incredible.
Fortunately, Percy loved Nina. Otherwise, Nina would be the one losing out.
"Have your lunch." Luke was not interested in Nina''s affairs. After all, she was Percy''s woman.
Percy had asked Luke for his permission to get Luca to apany Nina today. Luke agreed, but it was
not for Nina''s sake. He did it for Luca.
Although Luca did not say anything, Luke knew that Luca had always felt sorry for Nina. That was why
she wanted to repay Nina.
However, she was not Bianca now; she was Luca. There were many things she could not do for Nina
compared to Bianca when she was using this identity. After all, it would arouse Nina''s suspicion if she
did too much for her.
Hence, he agreed to let Luca apany Nina without hesitation.
"Okay." Luca nodded.
Luke''s phone rang after they finished eating lunch. He picked it up and nced at it, then his brows
furrowed.
Luca noticed that and said, "Mr. Crawford, please go ahead. Let me clean this up."
"Okay." Luke strode out of the office with his phone in his hands.
Luca watched him leave and closed the door. She felt a little anxious. Luke frowned when he saw the
caller ID on his phone screen.
Luke, who was always calm whenever something happened, seldom furrowed his brows.
Did something bad happen?
Luca shook her head. She cleaned up the lunch boxes and disposable cutleries on the table. Then, she
sat on her office chair and looked at the data files.
A lot of her work was dyed as she did not manage to work in the morning.
Luke got into the elevator and returned upstairs with his phone in his hands.
The phone stopped ringing while he was on his way upstairs. However, the person started calling again
the next second.
Luke returned to the president''s office and closed the door behind him. Only then did he answer the
call. "What''s the matter?"
"So, you still know how to answer my call." Allison''s sharp voice came from the other end of the line.
Luke frowned. He knew Allison hade to look for trouble with that tone of hers. However, Allison
would not look for him if nothing had happened. Luke knew that.
“I have a meetingter. Tell me what''s the matter." Even though it was Luke''s mother who was on the
other end of the line, Luke''s voice sounded cold and distant.
"Luke, listen to me even if you''re busy. What kind of stic surgery hospital have you arranged for me?
I''ve been here for quite some time, but they have yet to make any arrangements for my surgery. They
keep on giving me medical treatment instead. Plus, they''re ineffective. You don''t want me to go back,
right? That''s why you arranged for the hospital staff to fool me?" Allison questioned him.
She was never a patient person to begin with, but she forced herself to listen to the doctor and received
treatment for a few months just to change her appearance back to how it was before.
However, she could hardly see any effects for the past few months. She could no longer stay put.
“I didn''t get involved in the doctor''s medical treatment. Talk to the doctor if you have any questions,"
said Luke. There was no warmth in his voice.
Luke had longed for his mother''s love when he was still young.
However, when Luke finally realized that he was merely a tool for Allison to gain wealth and power, he
no longer longed for his mother''s love. Listening to her and fulfilling what she wanted was only to repay
her for giving birth to him.
As for raising him...
Luke''s eyes darkened at the thought of this.
Allison was the one who gave birth to him, but the orphanage and the Crawford family had brought him
up. Allison had nothing to do with this.
Luke thought he had done enough for Allison after all these years.
"I''ve had enough of the doctor here. All he tells me is to be patient and cooperate with him to receive
the treatment. They can''t do anything. I don''t care. Arrange another hospital for me. I''m getting stic
surgery. Otherwise, when will my face recover?" Allison was furious.
The doctor asked her to wait, and Luke asked her to listen to the doctor. No matter how dumb she was,
she knew the reason Luke sent her there for treatment was only to seek momentary peace.
Since Allison was having a tough life, she did not want Luke to live afortable life either.
"The hospital you''re staying in now is one of the world''s best stic surgery hospitals in Seoul. If you''d
like to transfer to another hospital, you have no choice but to head to other countries. After all, that''s
the only top stic surgery hospital in Seoul," said Luke as he frowned. He chose the one in Seoul
among all the top stic surgery hospitals he could find globally.
The reason was that Allison could not understand Korean.
