Luke listened to his accusation and it sounded like Johann was wronged. He raised his brows and asked, “What happened?”

Johann heard his indifferent tone and picked his nails. He was extremely doubtful about Luke being Allison’s biological son.

One was strange while the other was indifferent. They were like old enemies, nothing at all like how a mother-son pair would be like with one another.

Johann even wondered if Luke was abused by Allison when he was a child, which caused his personality to be the way it was now.

“I can’t tell you everything over the phone. End your trip and come back as soon as you can. I can’t take it anymore.” Johann sounded a little grumpy on the other end of the phone. It was highly likely due to Allison.

Luke leaned on the sofa and said, “Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow.”

When Johann heard his reply, he urged Luke. “Bring Dr. Craw back with you. She needs Dr. Craw’s help in this situation.”

Luke asked, “You didn’t inform her?”

“I don’t dare to contact Dr. Craw privately seeing how easily you get jealous,” Johann blurted out his words without thinking much about them. After he said that, he wondered if he was being too straightforward and if Luke would refute him. Just as he was thinking about that, the other party spoke.

“I’ll book our tickets and come back with her.”

Johann whistled and replied, “Okay, come back as early as you can tomorrow. The airport is relatively close to the prison, so you can arrange it with the lawyer and see her tomorrow. I’m fed up with her.”

Luke did not press on about what had happened when he heard Johann’s complaints.

Allison was good at torturing others, including himself. If he asked, he would never hear the end of it from Johann. That was why he did not continue talking and hung up when the time was right.

Luke called Jason.

“I’m going back to A City with Dr. Craw ahead of everyone. Please book our tickets,” he said.

Jason heard his words and asked, “Okay, Mr. Crawford. What time do you prefer?”

“The sooner the better.” Luke hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. He knew that Jason would handle it. He picked up the phone and called Luca after that.

The phone rang several times before Luca answered.

“Mr. Crawford.” The voice on the other end of the phone was cold.

Luke heard it and lowered his gaze. He could not figure her out. “Pack up and come back to A City with me tomorrow.”

‘Back to A City?’

Luca was stunned. If she remembered correctly, there were still a few days left to their trip…

“Mr. Crawford, is something wrong?” she asked softly and tried to figure out what was going on.

Luke did not answer her question directly because he was also not too sure about what was going on with Allison. He replied, “I need your help with something.”

“Okay, what time are we departing?” Luca did not continue to ask. It did not matter to her whether she was in B City or A City.

She was just happy to know that Amur was safe.

“Mr. Doyle will let you know when he has booked the tickets,” Luke said.

“Okay.” Luca hung up the call. Regardless of Luke’s intentions, she put her phone aside and started packing.

He asked her to head back to help, so she guessed that it was probably related to Allison.

The condition of Allison’s face was so bad. It was a tricky job for anyone involved.

Luca did not have much luggage. It took her 15 minutes to pack everything. She glanced at the tracking signal on the laptop screen, picked up her phone, and updated Amur about the situation. She put her laptop away, ate some medication to help her sleep, and lay in bed.

After a while, Jason called her.

He had booked a seven o’clock flight for the next morning. It would take an hour or so to get to the airport, so she had to get up at four o’clock in the morning.

After she was informed of the departure time, Luca set the alarm clock, put the phone aside to charge, and fell asleep.

She did not sleep well. Even though she had taken the medication, she still woke up several times throughout the night because of the pain from her lower back.

At half-past three, the alarm clock went off on time.

Luca sat up and looked like she did not get enough sleep. However, when she thought about how she would have to catch a flight shortly, she immediately got up, changed, and packed up. She then pushed her luggage downstairs.

Luke and Jason were already waiting downstairs. There was only one suitcase. She guessed that Jason would have to stay here to preside over the trip.

Luca quickly walked over. She apologized when she saw that the two were waiting for her. “Sorry, I got up late.”

“It’s alright,” Luke said and walked out.

Luca followed behind with her luggage. After she woke up, she applied the medicine to her injury. She was on an empty stomach and did not take painkillers, so her waist was still aching.

However, the pain was bearable.

The three got into the car. Jason was in the driver’s seat while Luke was in the backseat with her.

After more than an hour’s journey, Luca was already exhausted from sitting but she just held on and did not speak.

After Jason parked the car, he helped the two of them with their luggage. After he passed Luke the flight tickets. He said, “Boss, Dr. Craw, these are your flight tickets. I’ll head back first.”

“Mm.” Luke took both tickets and held them in his hands.

Luca was a little embarrassed, so she reached her hand out but eventually retracted it silently.

‘Does Luke not realize that he’s holding onto my ticket?’

Luca was a little upset. She pushed the suitcase and went to check in with Luke.

“Mr. Crawford, my ticket…” There were quite a few people boarding their flight. She asked him when they should go wait in line. copyrighted © content.

Luke glanced at the ticket that he was holding onto and then glanced at Luca. “I’ll hold onto it for you…”

Luca was speechless. He said it as though he thought she was careless…

She looked at the two flight tickets he was holding in his hand and thought that Luke seemed like he was worried that she would run away with the ticket…

Luca was not sure why she thought that. All she knew was that Luke was indeed acting a little differently from how he did in the past.

She held the suitcase with one hand and held her waist with the other.

When they got to the front of the line, Luke checked in his luggage, stood aside, and handed the other ticket to Luca.

Under his watch, Luca checked in her luggage.

After they checked in, the two of them walked together. Before they checked in their luggage, Luca had placed her rucksack on top of her suitcase. Now, she could only carry her rucksack on her back.

Carrying her rucksack was a burden on her lower back. She secretly dealt with the pain and walked forward.

Luke noticed her actions and carried her rucksack for her without saying a word.
