"He's living with you?" Amur frowned. He was uneasy at the thought of Luca and Luke being together again.
Luca was put in such a situation because of this man. If she got back with Luke, the catastrophe that would bring her was unimaginable.
"No, I'm living alone. I moved out of that place because Abel killed a security guard there. The place I'm living at now is great. It's close to the office, so it's convenient to travel to and fro from work." Luca was a little incoherent. She knew that he wanted to move in with her but she had to stop him.
It was just because of what Luke said.
Luca was relying on him and could not move out, so no matter what, she still had to listen to Luke.
Amur understood that she did not want him to move in purely because of that man. He gripped his fork tightly and said, "If you want your journey to the office to be more convenient, I'll rent an apartment near your office with you. Don't worry about the rent. I've saved up over the years."
Luca shook her head, took a sip of tea, and reminded him. "Amur, the one who asked me to approach Luke is Abel. You can't refuse Abel's orders..."
Amur fell silent when he heard that.
The matter did not just involve Luca and Luke. Abel was a factor as well.
He would kill Luke and run away with Luca if he could, but he could not betray Abel.
It was not that he was worried about facing death if he betrayed him and there was no antidote. He was thinking of his sister who was still on the Island of Despair.
He had three weaknesses—Eler, Luca, and little Nyla.
"It's his order..." Amur repeated what she said.
"It's all Abel's plan. You know what that man means to me. I don't want to hurt him if I can, but do I have a choice? I don't, and neither do you... “ Luca lowered her gaze and reminded him of the mess that they were in.
Their lives were not at the mercy of fate but were in Abel's hands.
This was the cruel truth.
Amur was silent for a while. Eventually, he said in a muffled voice, "I see." None of them could get rid of Abel.
"Amur, if you don't want to stay here, go back to the Island of Despair. Your last mission was a tough one. I think Abel gave you such a difficult mission to make things difficult for you... ." Luca muttered. It was time for Amur to go.
Amur shook his head, his gaze firm. "I can't go back. I can't leave you here alone. Don't worry, I won't cause you too much trouble. I'll be of help to you."
Luca sighed and suddenly thought of Nina.
Maybe Amur could be of help...
She stared at him, not knowing if he was injured from the mission. She was debating on whether it would be cruel to ask him to help her right after he finished a mission.
Amur could tell that she had something to say, so he got straight to the point. "Luca, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep it in your heart."
Seeing that, Luca said, "My good friend, Nina, was kidnapped by a fop named Pierre. Many people are looking for her but there's no news so far."
"Your good friend? Luca, you made a good friend here?" Amur asked. He did not care about the life and death of others. The only thing he cared about was the person in front of him.
"To be specific, she's a former friend. But I've become good friends with her again. Amur, I know it's not fair of me to ask you for help now, but the person who kidnapped Nina has also kidnapped me before. Saving Nina and confronting this man is the same thing," Luca said.
Amur looked nervous. When he was on a mission in B City, he did not pay much attention to the situation in A City. He did not even know that Luca was kidnapped. "You were kidnapped?!"
"That's in the past. Luke rescued me. The person who kidnapped me was Pierre, but he paid off someone, so he has been at large. I have to settle the score with him. Abel is also helping me on this but things have been a little slow on his side," Luca said.
She found out from the news that Abel had made a move. She did not know if the progress had stalled because Pierre was too vigilant or Abel was not satisfied with her progress.
Amur's expression darkened when he heard what she said. "If this kind of thing happens again, you must tell me as soon as possible. Send me the information of that person. I'll help you find her." Whoever dared to touch the person he loved would have bad luck coming their way!
Luca nodded and sent him Pierre's information and Nina's photo via text.
The way Percy and Luke were tracking down Nina was legal, but if Amur was involved, he would be able to get rid of the obstacles and find the place where Pierre was hiding Nina in a short time.
After they were done with the conversation, Amur glanced at his phone and reminded her, saying, "It's getting late. Hurry up and eat. The food will be cold if you don't eat now."
Luca nodded. She was relieved that he had promised to help find Nina.
On the other hand.
Jason knocked on the door of Luca's office with a takeaway box in his hand but there was no response.
He knocked again and called out, "Dr. Craw?"
Tina walked over, saw what Jason was doing, and told him, "Mr. Doyle, you don't need to knock anymore. Dr. Craw is eating with her younger brother downstairs."
"Her brother?" Jason's expression was blank. He was unaware that Luca had a younger brother.
"Yeah, she introduced her brother to me. He's handsome," Tina said, "If you were planning to give this to Dr. Craw, you can have it for yourself. I think that it won't be much longer until she returns to work." "Okay." Jason touched his nose and said nothing. He did not buy the takeaway for Luca. It was Luke who ordered it for Luca himself.
However, Luke was embarrassed to give it to her himself and asked Jason to deliver it instead.
Jason walked to Luke's office with the takeaway box and knocked on the door. owns all content.
"Come in." Luke's voice came from inside.
Jason opened the door, walked in, and put the lunch box on his desk. "Boss, Dr. Craw isn't here."
"She's not here? She went out for lunch?" Luke frowned. He had heard from Jason that Luca was still working during the lunch break and did not go out to eat, so he deliberately ordered an extra set for her.
He ordered her favorite.
"Yes, Tina said that she bumped into Dr. Craw downstairs. Her brother came to have lunch with her," Jason continued talking. He was unaware of the full situation, so he told Luke everything he heard from Tina.
