Luca rested her hand on her arm and shook her head. “You don’t have to be in such a hurry. By the
way, this is not the ce to draw your blood either. Follow me."
Amur nodded and followed behind Luca.
Luca requested a visitor pass from the receptionist and asked Amur to put it around his neck. Then,
she led him upstairs.
The receptionist watched as the two of them entered the elevator. She could not help but gossip, "Is he
really Dr. Craw’s younger brother? Why is he a foreigner?"
"Who knows? There are so manyplicated sibling rtionships these days. It’s hard to tell." smiled
another receptionist, dropping her a hint.
"Do you mean..." the first receptionist trailed off, unable to mask her surprise.
"I didn’t say anything about it. It’d be better not to make wild guesses when ites to someone like
Dr. Craw."
On the other hand, Luca had brought Amur upstairs, leading him to the administrative office’s lounge
as not everyone could enter theboratory.
The administrative manager knew Luca was here. She quickly came to the lounge. "Dr. Craw, I heard
that you brought a guest up here. Do you need us to attend to him?"
The manager could not help but size Amur up.
She was pretty sure that this man had never shown up in Watson Biopharmaceuticals before.
"It’s okay. He came looking for me. Let me attend to him. I’ll leave you to your work," replied Luca as
she shook her head.
"Okay. Please excuse me first." The administrative manager swiftly turned to leave, closing the door
behind her to give the two of them some space.
Luca walked toward the pantry and asked, "Is there anything would you like to drink? Juice or milk?"
"What about coffee?" asked Amur. He never had juice and milk. Ever since he carried out his first
mission, he has only had beer and coffee since.
Both of them tasted bitter. Every sip of which reminded Amur to be more alert and cautious.
"Aren’t you drawing bloodter? Taking coffee is bad for your health." Luca took the initiative to pour
him a ss of orange juice. "Just have some orange juice since we don’t have what you’d like to drink
here."
Luca handed Amur a ss of orange juice.
Amur stared at the ss of orange juice before he eventually relented and took it from her, taking a sip.
“Thank you."
He did not like the sour-sweet taste indeed.
"Let me inform my assistant to bring the tools down here. Give me a minute," said Luca.
"Okay." Amur asked curiously, "What kind of research are you working on?"
"It''s an antiviral drug. But you probably can''t understand it even if I exin it to you. The virus has
different reactions in different races. That''s why I thought of drawing your blood and transmitting the
virus into the blood sample to analyze it," lied Luca as she secretly rejoiced. It was fortunate that Amur
did not like such training when he was training on the Ind of Despair in the past.
Amur and Eler were not interested in medical research.
Perhaps it was some kind of heredity?
"I see. Luca, I''m d I could help," said Amur.
"Don''t be. Let me ask my assistant to bring the phlebotomy equipment downstairs." It was inconvenient
for her to take Amur upstairs. That was why she had no choice but to ask Rhett to bring the tools here.
Luca dialed Rhett''s phone number. "Mr. Link, please bring the phlebotomy equipment to the
administration department''s lounge for me."
"Okay, Dr. Craw," replied Rhett.
Luca hung up the call and sat on the sofa. She looked at Amur and said, "When are you nning to..."
She trailed off and paused for a moment as she almost forgot there was a surveince camera in the
room. "Nevermind. It''s nothing."
"Okay." Amur knew what Luca wanted to ask.
However, this was not a ce to talk about that.
"What''s wrong with your hand?" Amur stared at Luca''s bandaged hand with a darkened expression. He
had noticed that Luca''s hand was injured when they were downstairs, but he did not have a chance to
ask her about it given the circumstances.
"I identally cut myself with a knife." lied Luca, choosing to keep what happened to the Norman
family a secret.
It was to prevent Amur from looking for trouble. Now that those men had been arrested by the police
officers, Luke''s men were looking into the case too. Hence, there was no need for Amur to get involved
in it.
"You identally cut yourself?" Amur raised his brows. If it were not for the bandage on her hand,
which had no extra gauze bandages, he would have unwrapped the bandage and taken a closer look
at Luca''s wound.
After all, there was no way Luca could cut that part of her hand if it was just an ident.
He was afraid that the cut on Luca''s hand was caused by someone else.
Besides, it must have been a deep cut. Otherwise, there was no need for her to dress her wound with
such a thick bandage.
Luca kept silent. She knew there was no way she could lie to Amur, so she had no choice but toe
clean. "There was an incident, but the police officers are already investigating the case. You don''t have
to be concerned about it. You should focus on whatever you need to do."
“Did you get in touch with Tina?" asked Luca, shooting a nce down at her hand before shifting her
gaze back to Amur, swiftly changing the topic.
"No." Amur knew that Tina had feelings for him, but he was destined to be out of her league. Hence, it
would be better not to contact her.
Given that Tina thought Amur had returned to Russia, perhaps it was best to let her continue to think
so.
"Okay." Luca did not intend to force Amur to see Tina. It was a rtionship between the two of them
and she would not be interfering with it.
Someone knocked on the lounge''s door and pushed open the door, revealing Rhett. He walked in to
ce the equipment on the coffee table. "Dr. Craw, here''s the phlebotomy equipment you needed."
"Okay. Thank you." Luca inspected the equipment. There was the tourniquet, some iodine for
disinfection, cotton swabs, needles, and a blood collection tube.
Rhett prepared everything well.
"Let''s go for it." Amur rolled up his sleeves, signaling Luca to draw his blood.
Luca nced at her right hand. While she could handle some easy work herself, there was no way she
could handle something as meticulous like drawing someone''s blood.
She turned to Rhett and asked, "I''m afraid that I''d puncture your blood vessel. Mr. Link, do you know
how to draw blood?"
"I practiced a few times when I was in college," answered Rhett. He did not specialize in medicine.
Drawing bood was never included in his assessment. "Dr. Craw, I might not be able to do it well..."
Luca felt helpless. She had no choice but to say, "It''s difficult for me to do it with my hand injured. How
about this, let me insert the needle with you helping me out. If I can''t do it, I''ll leave it to you. Is that
okay?"

"Sure." Rhett relented, picking up the tourniquet.
"Tie it here. Make it tight." Luca pointed at Amur''s arms.
Rhett did what he was instructed.
"Amur, clench your fist," said Luca as she took the needle out.
Amur did follow Luca''s instructions and made a fist.
Rhett picked up the cotton swab and dipped it in some iodine. Then, he watched Luca insert the needle
into Amur''s arm using her left hand.
Previously, Luca had used her right hand to insert the needle into her left arm and draw her blood.
Using her left hand now left her looking clumsy.
She carefully inserted the needle into the skin and stopped when she felt where the vein was.
"This should be fine. Let''s draw the blood." Luca let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she made it on the
first try. Otherwise, Amur would need to get another shot.
