Based on what she heard from Luke''s conversation, Luca was worried about Wanda.


    Luke looked at Luca seriously. “It''s just a small matter. I don''t need to go to thepany, so don''t


    worry. It''s all taken care of."


    Luca''s chest suddenly tightened as she felt an indescribable surge of emotion.


    Then, Luke asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "I''m fine." Luca shook her head as she thought of asking Johannter.


    "Your book is upside down. Is there something bothering you?" Luke said.


    Luca looked down and saw that her book was flipped upside down. Aftering upstairs, she was so


    shaken up that she did not even notice that she was holding her book the wrong way.


    After making a fool of herself, she put her book aside and said, "I''m sleepy."


    "Go to sleep, then." Luke lifted the nket and motioned for her to lie down.


    After Luca put the book aside andy down, she picked up her phone.


    "Don''t go on your phone when you''re about to go to bed," Luke reminded softly.


    Luca paused as she opened her messaging app before looking at the person behind her. "Are you


    going to bed too?"


    "If you''re going to bed, of course, I''m going to bed too," said Luke as hey down.


    As he was about to put his arms around her, she suddenly sat up and said, "I need to go to the


    bathroom."


    After that, she got out of bed and went into the bathroom with her phone.


    Luke gazed at Luca''s back solemnly. He did not want Luca to be so worried. After finding out about


    Wanda''s ''news'', she definitely would not have a good rest tonight.


    However, if he chose to ease her worries now, he might never be able to uncover the secret behind her.


    Luke could not bear doing this to her, but he forced himself to.


    He had to trigger Luca to make her confess everything and exin the forces controlling her. Only then


    could their family be reunited and Queenie be discharged from the hospital.


    He tried to convince himself that his cruel n was for Luca''s sake.


    After seeing her hiding herself in the bathroom, he picked up his phone as well.


    Johann sent him screenshots of his chat history with Luca.


    Luke clicked on the screenshots and read their conversation.


    Johann told Luca the things they agreed on, which was basically about Wanda''s unstable emotions, but


    she had calmed down now after taking sedatives.


    Luke deleted the screenshots.


    Although Luca would not check his phone, he was a meticulous person, especially when it came to


    matters regarding reuniting his family. He could not leave a single trace behind.


    The more he cared about Luca, the more careful he was.


    Not long after Luke put down his phone, Luca walked out of the bathroom.


    The lights in the bedroom were dim, but Luke could sense frustration on her face. He could not see her


    clearly, so he pretended not to notice.


    “Let''s go to bed. It''s gettingte." He lifted the nket.


    Luca nodded and ced her phone on the bedside table as shey down.


    Luke covered her with the nket.


    To indicate to Luca that he was not in a good mood, he did not get handsy with her and just put his


    arms around her waist.


    However, trying to control himself when the woman he loved was in his arms was torture.


    It was too great a temptation.


    However, he could only resist...


    Deep down, Luke cursed the Ind of Despair about a million times.


    The next day, Luca woke up early. Luke got up the moment she woke up.


    "Good morning." Luca looked a little dazed as she had spent the night tossing and turning. She only


    managed to fall asleep after Luke suggested she take a mtonin pill.


    However, she had a nightmare, and the thought of it frightened her even after she had woken up.


    Seeing Luke beside her, Luca felt more at ease. The frown caused by her nightmare started to loosen


    up too.


    "Good morning." Luke leaned down and pressed his lips on her forehead.


    "Good morning." Luca rubbed her eyes. Even after a night''s rest, she felt as if she had not rested at all.


    Nheless, she still got up.


    After the two washed up, they went downstairs.


    Aunt Neile had already prepared breakfast and was about to serve it up when she saw theming


    down.


    However, Luke said, "Pack up breakfast for me. I''ll have it on the way."


    Aunt Neile nodded and said, "Yes, sir."


    Luca looked at him. "Why don''t you eat at home before going to thepany?"


    "I have some work to deal with, so I need to leave early today," Luke exined to her.


    Luca''s heart sank at the thought of his conversation with Johannst night. Luke was probably not


    going to the office but to the hospital.


    How was he going to exin it to Wanda?


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    "Alright." Luca did not say anything else as she was trapped here because of her identity.


    Her hands were tied.


    She wanted to go to the hospital to visit Wanda, Queenie, and Old Man Rayne too...


    Then, Aunt Neile handed the packed breakfast to Luke. "Your breakfast, sir."


    "Thanks, I''ll be going to thepany now." Luke nced at Luca.


    "Alright." Luca nced at his back and did not look away for some time.


    Aunt Neile noticed her absent-mindedness and coughed sheepishly before saying, "Ms. Craw, would


    you like to have breakfast now?"


    "Let me do it. Aunt Neile, can you please go upstairs to see if the kids are up?" Luca withdrew her gaze


    and went into the kitchen.


    When she was heading downstairs, she could not stop thinking about her nightmare, to the point that


    she did not even check if the kids were up.


    Only when she did not see them downstairs did she realize that they had note down.


    Aunt Neile responded and went up to check on them.


    On the other hand.


    Contrary to what Luca thought, Luke did not go to the hospital. He knew that she would not follow him,


    so he went to thepany after leaving home.


    Not long after he sat down, there was a knock on the CEO''s office door.


    "Come in." Luke turned on theputer and prepared to start work.


    Gale opened the door and casually walked in.


    Luke looked up at him, then looked away, not showing much surprise to see him here.


    "Boss, you''re early today. I don''t think many of your employees have arrived," said Gale as he sat


    across from him.


    "You have to fake it till you make it," replied Luke as he logged into his email. Early this morning, he


    saw that Gale had sent him an email.


    He guessed that it was information about the Ind of Despair, so he was not in a rush to open it. He


    was waiting to open it after he arrived at thepany.


    "I sent you an email at midnight," said Gale.


    "I''m reading it." Luke''s eyes were fixed on theputer screen. The content of the email was about all


    of the Ind of Despair''s bases in A City.


    Gale discovered the characteristics of the Ind of Despair''s bases and sent his people to investigate.


    Finally, he was able to get these addresses.


    "These are definitely the Ind of Despair''s bases. There are still a few I''m not sure about, so I''ll have


    to send people to look into them."


    Worried that the people from the Ind of Despair would notice, his people were very cautious when


    carrying out missions. They dared not make big moves so as not to alert others, and their cautiousness


    made the investigation much harder.
