"Save this segment and send it to the encryption expert at headquarters," instructed Officer Larsen,
who was highly alert. This was just a small local branch. They did not have such experts at all.
The staff members of theputer technology team immediatelyplied.
In the detention cell...
Amur looked at Alexsei and Kazimir, who had already resigned themselves to their fate. He knew his
mission wasplete. Therefore, he moved to a corner and hid in the blind spot of the surveince
cameras. He threw two pills in the opposite direction.
Then, he sat back down and looked up for a moment to nce at the surveince camera. He tapped
the wall with a nonchnt expression on his face. "Once you take the pill, Boss won''te looking for
the people you care about the most."
Alexsei and Kazimir both looked toward the corner.
They believed that the Ind of Despair was a disciplined organization, but now they realized that this
discipline was dictated solely by Abel.
Whoever he wanted dead would cease to exist in this world.
Alexsei and Kazimir exchanged nces. They had not revealed any information about the Ind of
Despair before, as they still held onto hope that they could escape and redeem themselves through an
act of valor.
Now, it was even more unlikely for them to perish alongside Abel.
Alexsei walked over to the corner, another blind spot for surveince.
He consumed the poisoned pill first, while Kazimir closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and followed
suit.
Amur lowered his gaze and remained silent. He could not bear to watch either.
However, if they did not die, Luca and Amur would be in trouble. He could not protect them.
Even if Amur did protect them and manage to save them, Abel would not let them off easily either.
They had caused the Ind of Despair to lose business and a significant amount of money, not to
mention the substantial sum they were supposed to receive.
Now, everything had turned to ashes. Even if they managed to leave A City alive, Abel would ultimately
make their lives unbearable.
In that case, they might as well just die.
At least they could have a clean end.
"The pills will take effect in two days. Don''t even think about trying to implicate the organization.
Otherwise, the ones who will suffer will be the people you care about the most," warned Amur as he
tapped the wall.
Alexsei''s mother, a poor woman who had toiled hard for half her life, had only recently reunited with her
son. She had not enjoyed a few good days yet.
Of course, he would not risk it...
He had given all the money he saved from his missions to his mother, hoping that her future life would
be much better. Alexsei would never dare to oppose Abel.
As for Kazimir, what he could not bear to lose was not his lover, but his son, who shared a blood
connection with him.
He could not risk it, as it was a matter of his son''s survival.
Amur noticed their silence and knew his mission wasplete. He was not in a hurry to leave. He was
waiting for news from the hospital.
He had to wait for the doctors to confirm that the two thugs and Hoffman were fine and unharmed
before he could go out.
In the evening.
Luca was still unaware that Amur had been captured by the police in X City.
After delivering the meal to Wanda at the hospital, she stood by the entrance of the ICU.
No news meant good news. Luca looked at the ICU entrance and murmured to herself, "Ms. Por,
you have to be strong. Someone is waiting for you to recover."
She did not stay there for too long.
There were people sleeping on the floor near the entrance of the ICU.
The general hospital in A City was nationally renowned. Many people with different kinds of
complicated illnesses woulde here. They might not have a good background, but those who came
only hoped that the people who mattered to them would be able to live well.
Hence, many people slept on the floor here. It not only reduced amodation expenses but also
allowed them to be the first to receive news from the hospital.
Luca lowered her gaze. They were all poor people, many of whom needed help.
However, who could help these people?
Life was a bitter reality of unavoidablepromises.
After Luca left the hospital, she asked Warren to take her to Crawford Manor.
Knowing that Luca would being today, the three children finished their homework early and waited
for her in the living room.
When Luca arrived at Crawford Manor, she followed the butler into the house.
The moment she stepped into the house with her left foot and before she could say anything, the three
children surrounded her. "Ms. Luca!"
"Ms. Luca, it smells so good," said Tommy as he caught a whiff of the aroma of the cookies. Even
though he had just finished a meal, his appetite was triggered once again.
He wanted to have the cookies made by Luca.
"You have a sharp nose. These cookies are for you, but don''t eat too many at once. Otherwise, your
throat will feel ufortable," Luca reminded him and handed him the bag of cookies.
She divided the cookies into four portions.
There were three smaller portions and onerge portion. Therger portion was for Tommy to bring
with him and share with his ssmates during the spring outing, while the smaller portion was for them.
"Thank you, Ms. Luca!" Tommy eximed with excitement. He loved food, and he truly missed Luca.
Luca was surrounded by the children. Fortunately, they were still shorter than her, so she could see Old
Master Crawford sitting happily on the sofa.
She walked toward him and greeted him, "Good evening, Old Master Crawford."
"Good evening, Luca," replied Old Master Crawford with a smile on his face. As he watched Tommy
open the bag and distribute the cookies to his older siblings, he could not help but exim, "You''re too
kind to them."
Luca smiled without exining anything.
They were all her precious ones. If she did not treat them well, then who else was she supposed to
treat well?
Previously, she could also prepare meals for N. Now that N was not by her side, she could only
focus her attention on the other three children.
She would never hold back her love for them while there was still time.
"No one can resist adorable and well-behaved children," Luca smiled as her gaze fell on the three
children.
Rainie was the most well-behaved one. After opening the cookie packaging, she handed it to Old
Master Crawford and said, “Great-grandpa, you can have it first."
Old Master Crawford happily took a piece and tasted it.
Luca''s cookies were indeed delicious. He had already tasted them at the Rayne family''s house before.
The cookies she made for the children had an even richer scent of milk in them.
They liked these even more.
Tommy had been talking about how much he was looking forward to the spring outing just so he could
eat Luca''s cookies for the past few days.
It was unknown who he had inherited his love for food from.
It was obvious that Luke was not a fan of food when he was young. As for Luca, Old Master Crawford
had no idea about it, but he felt that Luca was not like that either.
With Rainie making the first move, Lanie and Tommy also shared their treats with Old Master Crawford.
Old Master Crawford had cookies in his mouth and in both of his hands for a moment.
Mr. Griffin stood beside and watched them. Then, he remembered something Old Master Crawford said
earlier. He then suggested, "Kids, how about going upstairs to eat? The cartoon show is about to start."
Any child would enjoy having yummy cookies while watching their favorite cartoon show.
Moreover, they were all intelligent children who knew that Old Master Crawford had something to
discuss with Luca.
They knew it was something they should not be listening to.

Hence, they brought their cookies along with them and made their way up the stairs.
