Chapter 1297 Protecting Luca

Amur nodded but he did not mention what mission it was.

"So you were carrying out your mission at that place?" Luca asked again.

"Yes," Amur replied and nodded

Solomon was a well-known black market dealer, but he was different from others. His products were popular, but he had a terrible character.

There was a kind of drug that Abel sought after.

However, Solomon was not the original seller, so it was quite difficult to get the goods. After a few trials and tribulations, Abel managed to get information that Solomon had a customer who wanted the same drug, hence he ordered a batch of them.

That was an opportunity for him, so success would have to depend on whether their plan worked out or not.

Luca smiled as she listened to Amur's explanation. There was no reason for him to lie. In that case, Luke's poisoning had nothing to do with Abel.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she could not help but tease Amur, "Amur, you should not have been tied up like that."

Even though the three men were huge, they were still no match for Amur even after banding up.

"I was careless." Amur went silent. He had the same ideas as Luca, that was why he was caught and subdued.

Luca walked to the side of the road and waited for a cab.

"Don’t let your guard down no matter what, you understand?" she said.

"Yes." Amur nodded. If he knew this was how he would run into Luca, he would have been more careful.

"Where's your place?" Luca asked.

Amur replied with the name of a certain hotel.

Luca remembered seeing that name from a map. She frowned. It was a hotel, but the facilities were not good." Why don't you come over to my hotel?"

"But..." Amur wanted to say no.

'That's decided, then. Since you were caught, you must have some wounds on you, right?" Luca glanced at him from top to bottom.

Amur wore a black long-sleeved shirt and pants, so she could not see any wounds on him. After all, black was the best color to hide injuries.

Who knew how many scars and injuries he had under that shirt.

Luca was genuinely worried about his wounds. Besides, she could explain herself better if she brought Amur along with her.

"Alright." Amur saw the serious expression on her face and compromised.

He never had the heart to reject Luca's decisions.

A taxi came from the distance and Luca hailed it. Both of them got into the cab and headed to his hotel. After that, Amur checked out of the hotel and they rushed over to her hotel.

Luca extended her hand and Amur handed her his documents. She helped him check into a room.

They then stepped into the elevator.

Amur’s room was on the same floor as Luca's. She said to him, "Get a change of clothes and I'll come over in a bit to apply some medicine on you."

'Thank you." Amur felt a surge of warmth in his heart when she said those words to him.

After they arrived at their floor, Luca went back to her room, took some medicine and bandages that she had brought with her, and rushed over to Amur’s room.

She knocked on the door and Amur invited her inside.

At the same time, Dr. Albus walked out from the room next door and saw her silhouette. He did not greet her. Instead, he frowned and thought to himself, 'Whose room is this?’

Luca checked Amur all over and asked him, "Did they give you any sedatives?

'They didn't manage to," replied Amur. They wanted to give

him a shot of sedatives to keep him under control but did not do so because she showed up at the right time.

It seemed like Luca saved him once again.

Luca opened the bottle of medicine and said, "Take your shirt off. Let me have a look."

Amur did not hesitate and took his shirt off for her.

He had plenty of wounds, but most were just flesh wounds while the rest were bruises and internal hemorrhages. She pursed her lips and applied the medicine on him.

As she did that, Amur did not make the slightest sound. This belongs to - ©.

Luca was quick in treating him. After she was done, she said to him, "You'd better get some rest in the next few days. I'll leave the medicine here. I can help you if you need me to."

"Mm, thank you." Amur looked at the bandages that were wrapped all over his body before wearing his shirt.

Luca then asked, "By the way, where’s my stuff?"

Amur took the bottle from his pocket and handed it to her." This is snake venom?"

"Mm." Luca shook the half-full bottle. It was enough for her experiment.

"What do you want this for? Also, why are you in America?" asked Amur.

"For research. My antidote is not perfect just yet, so I need some ingredients to make it complete. The company sent me to do this. Alright then, rest well. I’ll be going back to my

own room," said Luca.

"Alright." Amur did not think much of it. After she left, he took out his phone and sent a text to the people on the Island of Despair, telling them he had completed his mission.

He said nothing about running into Luca.

He looked at his inbox and noticed that he had not replied to Luca's message.

He came to America after leaving A City. He then kept a low profile and waited to get his hands on that bottle of medicine. He put in a lot of effort just to obtain it.

Amur held his head in frustration after he thought about Luca saving him once more.

He wanted to protect her, but things always happened the other way around. He felt like a failure.

Luca packed her things after she returned to her room. She was relieved after she knew that Luke had no connection with Abel.

After she hid the venom where Tommy could not find it, she then walked over to Rhett's room to get Tommy back.

She saw Tommy's sad face the moment she opened the door. He looked at her and said, "Ms. Luca, what took you so long?"

Luca smiled. The hotel was located in a busy area while the address Paul gave her was on the outskirts. Hence, going back and forth took quite some time.

"I’m sorry about that. To make it up to you, I'll give you all of the snacks in the drawer, okay?” She squatted and pinched the kid's face.

Tommy massaged his cheek and replied, "Ms. Luca, those were meant for me anyway."

Luca smiled. "But they’re still with me."

After that, she stood up and said to Rhett, "Sorry for troubling you."

"Not at all. Tommy is a cute, good boy. He didn't give me much trouble." Rhett scratched his head in embarrassment after Luca praised him like that.

Luca was typically a serious and cool person, so he was surprised when he noticed her gentle and kind side when she coaxed the child.

"Say thank you to Uncle Rhett." Luca raised Tommy's arm.

"Thank you, Uncle Rhett. See you!" Tommy nodded as he waved at Rhett.
