Chapter 1340 He Wanted Them to Return

After Luke promised them what he would do, the twins exchanged relieved glances.

Luke had always carried through his promises. Lanie and Rainie knew that Luke had always loved the real Bianca. The impostor Bianca, who had lived in their house for three years, had never received his love.

Rainie yawned and rubbed her eyes.

Luke stroked her hair and said gently. "You should go to bed if you're tired."

"Alright. Good night, Daddy." Rainie nodded and walked toward the door. Before she left the room, she turned around and said, "Good night, Lanie."

"Good night." Luke looked at the two children. It must have been hard for them to keep their discovery a secret.

However, he could not expose the impostor's lies before the real Bianca was found, and he was worried that the children might not be able to keep the secret anymore. "I'll handle this. You have to pretend that you don't know anything."

Lanie and Rainie understood what he meant, so they nodded. This belongs to - ©.

After Rainie left, Luke stood up and turned off Lanie's tablet. "It's very late, and you have to go to school tomorrow. Go to bed now."

"Yes, Daddy, but tomorrow is the weekend, and we don't need to go to school." Lanie nodded and handed him the brown paper envelope.

Luke chuckled to himself. He had been so busy in New York that he had forgotten the day of the week. He put the report back in the envelope, left the bedroom, and brought the suitcase back to the study.

He sat on the executive chair and perused the test report. Many times over the past three years, he had suspected the true identity of his supposed wife, but he had always chosen to trust in the test report.

Now that the truth was staring at him in his face, he realized that his suspicions had always been correct. She was an impostor.

Luke picked up his phone and sent a message to Gale. He wanted them to return to A City so that they could investigate what happened back then.

The next day, Luca received a message from Sue, saying that Jason had already returned from New York. Sue had also told Jason what happened in the past few days, and they had agreed to host Luca and Amur for dinner at their house.

Thinking that Luke would not show up at Jason's house for dinner, she readily accepted Sue's invitation.

Luca told Amur about Sue's invitation while they were having breakfast.

Amur frowned when he heard that. He said nothing.

"What's wrong?" Luca asked out of concern.

"I have something else later at night. I can't go," Amur said. He had received a mission around midnight, and he would have to be elsewhere later at night.

Luca nodded and said, "I shouldn't stop you then. I'll explain it to them."

"Mm." Amur picked up a croissant and took a bite.

Luca continued to ask him, "Is it a mission from Abel?"

"Yes." Amur did not hide it from her, but he also did not tell her the details.

Luca understood the rules. She said, "Take care when you're on your mission. Don't get hurt."

"I won't. The mission is very simple this time, and there shouldn't be too much fighting." Amur said while gulping down some soy milk. After living in A City for a while, he began to enjoy the taste of soy milk.

Luca could tell from Amur's expression that he was not lying to her, and she could not help but wonder what mission it was.

After breakfast, Amur changed his clothes and left the apartment.

Luca noticed that Amur was dressed in casual clothes, as though he was going shopping instead of going on a

mission. That made her even more curious than ever.

After Amur left, Luca tidied up the apartment. Usually, Amur would tidy up the place whenever he was free, so Luca only spent half an hour cleaning up.

After that, she took out some medicine samples and researched them.

Many unforeseen incidents had happened ever since she returned from New York, and she had a lot of research to catch up on at work. She barely had enough free time to do her own research.

She took out the bottle of liquid that she obtained from Solomon, then shook a test tube containing the antidote. She planned to extract the active components of the antidote and see if she could replicate it.

If she could manage to replicate the antidote, she would not have to rely on the monthly dose to survive. It would also be a lot easier to free Eler and Amur from the clutches of the Island of Despair.

Luca began to do her research.

She packed up her apparatus in the afternoon so that Amur would not discover what she was doing.

Before she succeeded, she would not tell Amur about what she was doing. She did not want Eler and Amur to celebrate prematurely in case her plan failed.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Luca changed into a dress, put on some light makeup, and left the apartment. She bought some gifts at a nearby department store, caught a cab, and went to Jason's house.

She rang the doorbell, and the caretaker quickly came over and opened the door. After she walked into the house, Kari came over and greeted her, "Good afternoon, Ms. Luca."

Luca smiled when she saw the cute little girl. "Good afternoon."

Kari knew that Luca was the person who saved her. She went up to Luca eagerly and said, "Ms. Luca, are you thirsty? I'll get you a glass of water."

Luca shook her head, though the girl's hospitality made her feel welcome. She took out two dolls from the shopping bag and handed them to her. "I bought two dolls. One is for you, and the other is for your sister."

Sue happened to step out of the kitchen and saw that scene. She quickly said, "Dr. Craw! You shouldn't have!"

Luca replied, "I saw the dolls when I was at the department store earlier, and I thought that Kari and Teri would like them. Here, take them, Kari."

Kari wanted the dolls very much, though she looked at her mother for approval.

Sue shook her head. "You're too kind, Dr. Craw. Kari and Teri have a lot of toys. You shouldn't have bought them more."

Luca put the doll in Kari's hands and said, "Alright, I won’t bring them any more toys next time then. I'd like to give these to Kari and Teri though, I can't return them because I

threw the receipt away."

Sue understood that Luca could not return the dolls. She could only say, Kari, thank Ms. Luca."

"Thank you, Ms. Luca. I love them very, very much.” Kari smiled sweetly after her mother gave her the permission to accept the dolls.

Luca smiled and patted her head.

If Nyla were here, she would be very good friends with Kari and Teri.

Kari ran back to the bedroom to share the dolls with her sister, and Luca handed a shopping bag to Sue. "I won't bring you gifts next time, but I've brought you some this time, and you'll have to accept them. I can't return them."

Sue felt quite awkward when she saw the shopping bag full of gifts.
