Chapter 1384 Lover, Child...

Luca bit her lip when she thought about that. If Jason dug deeper into the matter, he might uncover a series of misaligned interests.

Watson Biopharmaceuticals was established not too long ago. Whoever was involved dared to do it because Luke was based in T Corporation. The department manager usually had the final say in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Of course, they would cross boundaries for their own interest...

However, just because Luke was not based in Watson Biopharmaceuticals, it did not mean that he did not care about the company. What happened this time may serve as a lesson for those who wanted to take advantage of the company.

Toward the end of office hours, Jason came to Luca's office again. His smile became wider, as though things were progressing.

"Mr. Doyle, did you find out more?” Luca tidied some documents. She had just sorted out the budget fund application form.

"There is some progress. The security footage of the corridor was altered. The footage from yesterday is the same as the day before," Jason said.

Luca smiled and handed him the funding application form." This is the funding application form. Mr. Crawford said to just give it to you."

Jason took it. He noticed that she was not at all surprised, as if she had guessed it a long time ago. He secretly admired her calmness and wisdom. He said, "Dr. Craw, are you not curious who switched the footage?"

"Only a few people in the security department can do this. I'm not curious. If you find anything, I'm sure you'll announce it when you’re ready," Luca said. She was not being polite. She was just not curious.

She was indifferent to most of the company's internal affairs. She was focused on her research and was not sure of who was involved with whom. Hence, she would not be of much help to the investigation.

If she was curious about all these, she would not have gotten Rhett as her research assistant.

Mo or the other assistants knew more about the company’s happenings. The reason she chose Rhett was not just because of his serious attitude toward work but it was also because he was not a gossipy person.

At the same time, she did not like to be the center of gossip. She much preferred if those around her did not like to gossip as well.

Jason praised her in his heart. Not everyone had such a calm temperament.

Even though her interests were damaged, she was still calm and collected as if she had gone through a lot. It was admirable.

Jason checked the research funding application form, rolled it up, and said, "Okay, if I find anything, I'll keep you posted at once. Now, I have to go back to the head office and submit this funding application form to Mr. Crawford. Dr. Craw, goodbye."

"Goodbye.” Luca nodded, her expression still calm.

After Jason left, she took a look at the time. There was not much time left to conduct any research. The laboratory had yet been equipped with the relevant equipment.

Luca opened her laptop to take a look at the latest news.

After reading for a while, Amur called.

Luca pressed to answer and put the phone to her ear. She asked, "Amur, did you find anything?"

"No, there’s no movement in the villa," Amur said.

Luca blinked and thought that the light on the computer screen was a little dazzling. "Mm, okay. I'll get off work on time today. What do you want to eat? I'll go to the supermarket and come back to make dinner for you." i

"I've returned to the apartment but you don't need to worry about me. I received a mission and have to go to S City," Amur said. He had no choice when Abel assigned him a mission. If he got his hands on the medicine, he could stay with Luca after completing the task. However, before that could happen, he could not take on other tasks.

Therefore, even if Amur was reluctant, he had to turn Luca down. Text content © .

"S City? Is the mission dangerous?" Luca did not ask what the mission was but asked about the risk. He was in A City, and her home was his home.

She saw him as her younger brother and did not want him to take on tasks that were too dangerous.

"All missions are risky, but this mission is not difficult for me. Don't worry," Amur said.

"Mm, pay attention to safety. S City is too far away, I can't back you up from here. Amur, you must be careful," Luca said. The two of them were not related by blood but they had been on the Island of Despair for three years. She had already regarded him as her brother.

"I’ll be fine. Be careful in A City. I’ll be away for longer this time and can’t be by your side to protect you. If Luke is suspicious of you, don't be indecisive. The most important thing is to protect yourself. Nyla can't live without her mother," Amur said.

He did not feel assured. Luca had feelings for Luke, but because Nyla was still on the island, she could not tell him her true identity. ’

When the time came and if Luke wanted to hurt Luca, her reluctance coupled with her gentleness would cause her to be hurt.

"Mm, I know. Don't worry, I’ll take care of myself." Luca felt like tearing a little. She stood up and looked at the sky outside the window.

When it came to Luke and Nyla, she felt wronged by the situation. 'Why should I suffer like this?*

Lover, child...

She was extremely unwilling to hurt Luke but she was also unwilling to let Nyla suffer. If she had the choice, she wanted Nyla to live carefreely with Lanie and the others. She could see the sun and the sea instead of being locked up all the time, living in a basement where she could never see the light of day. 2

Knowing that she was listening, Amur took his luggage, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I'm going to catch the train."

"Train? Isn't it faster to take a plane to S City?" Luca remembered that A City had a direct flight to S City. The identity that Abel arranged for them was legal. They had access to every mode of travel.

"I'm going to a remote place in S City and there’s a direct train there. I have to go. I’ll talk to you later," Amur explained.

Luca hummed in response and ended the call.

It happened to be six o'clock. She packed her briefcase and walked to the laboratory. "Have the equipment been set up yet?"

Most of the experimental instruments were made of glass so they were almost destroyed. They had to use new equipment if they needed to do experiments.

"Dr. Craw, it's almost done," one of the researchers said.

Luca nodded and replied, "Thanks for your hard work. Go back and have an early rest when you're done. We will start a new round of research tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Got it."

Several of the researchers replied unanimously.

Seeing that the laboratory was almost clean, Luca turned around and left.
