Therefore, it did not matter if they were looking at it from Luca's or Queenie's perspective. Handing the recovered surveillance footage to the police was not a good idea.Luca agreed with him and nodded.“Would you like to follow me to the hospital tonight?” Luke asked her.Luca wanted to know why he wanted to head to the hospital. "Is it that urgent?" “Queenie is looking for Leia all day long. I think we should let her know what kind of person Leia is as soon as possible.” Luke leaned back in his chair and looked at her. Today, Jack texted Luke and complained to him that he was running out of ideas to stop Queenie from looking for Leia. Leia was unreachable by phone, so Queenie wanted to get discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.What Luca and Jack said to her today was useless."But the kids…" Luca did not want to see Queenie upset.“Aunt Neile is only getting off work later. The maid can stay a little longer. We’ll head to the hospital after dinner. Tommy and
“Then why did you call me…” asked the police officer, helplessly trailing off.“I’m wondering what the progress is with my parents’ assault case. Has there been any evidence on who they were and what their move was?” Leia needed to deduce if the police officers had found out that Matysh was behind this.Matysh had already given her the money. Leia no longer wanted anything to do with him,She was worried that Matysh would tell on her if they caught Matysh.“We’re still looking into it, and I’m not supposed to share any details. Once we find something, we’ll announce it to the public,” answered the police officer.“Again “Again…” Leia rolled her eyes. “Do you think I’m a fool?” “I’m sorry but it’s the rules,” said the police officer.“I don’t care about the rules. The fact of the matter is, my parents are injured and it’s because of these people, right? Now you’re telling me that you can’t tell me anything, even though you’re looking into it. How am I supposed to explain to th
"Was it Leia who opened the door for them?" Queenie was stunned as she watched the video footage. Then, she glanced at the time shown in the image.Her face turned pale white. She looked up at Luke to ask for his confirmation.“Yes.” nodded Luke.Queenie shook her head, refusing to believe what she just saw. While Leia had hurt her before, she promised she would never do it again.They must stay together as a family. However, as Luke showed her the video, showing her that the alarm was not triggered because Leia had welcomed them in.Not only was Leia trying to harm Luca, but she intended to hurt both of them too.“How could it be Leia…” mumbled Queenie.“The police have the surveillance footage on the day of the incident, but it’s different from this one,” uttered Luke, observing Queenie’s reaction attentively. “The surveillance footage that the police have has been doctored. Rain noticed the footage on that day was the exact same as the days before. Even the sprouts were mov
“It was my request.” admitted Jack, clearing his throat. “On the first day we were admitted to the hospital, I woke up and asked Dr. Park not to let her in. I was worried she’d disturb you.”“Dear, you knew Leia had something to do with this on the first day, didn’t you?” speculated Quennie.“Yes.” nodded Jack. “That’s why I asked them to stop her from coming in. I was worried she’d continue to hurt you.” Queenie let out a long, deep sigh. “I understand. I’ll leave this to you.”Jack and Luke exchanged glances with each other.Queenie seemed to have dealt with it better than they had expected. “I’m tired,” said Queenie.Luke nodded. He had told her everything and told her everything she should have known too. “Have a good rest. We’re leaving.” Luke turned to look at Luca."Drive safe." Jack walked them to the wardroom door and watched them leave, only then did he turn around to look at Queenie, who was lost in her thoughts.Queenie appeared to be calm in front of Luke and
The waiter turned to Luca, “Madame, what do you think?” “It’s good,” replied Luca.“Okay. Thank you for your reviews. Here are some soufflé glacés for you. I wish the two of you much love and happiness.” The waiter picked up the plate of soufflé glacés on the tray and placed it on the table. Then, he turned around and left. Luca was lost in her thoughts as she stared at the soufflé glacés on the table. Would she and Luke be able to live a happy life together? Should she tell Luke the truth after she finds the antidote? Would she be able to attack Abel with Luke’s help?However, if things turned out that way, what would happen to Eler and Nyla, who were on the Island of Despair?Luca felt crushed. She had done so many things that were detrimental to the interests of T Corporation and Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Would Luke forgive her if he found out about that?“What’s on your mind?” Luke picked up a soufflé glacé and placed it on her plate.“Nothing,” said Luca, coming back t
Next morning.Luca woke up in Luke’s arms. The moment she opened her eyes, Luke’s phone rang.“Um, Luke, your phone.” Luca rubbed her head.After they had supper last night, the kids were already in bed when they reached home. Luke decided to take out a bottle of red wine and drank a few glasses alone. Then, he used being drunk as an excuse to hold Luca in his arms and made love with her into the night.It was already daylight when he opened his eyes again.Luke picked up his incessantly buzzing phone. He glanced at the phone screen to see who was calling. Then, he turned on the speaker and placed it beside his pillow, only then did he answer the call. “Yes?”“Good morning, Mr. Crawford. I’m the police officer on duty. My badge number is XXXXXXXX. I’m sorry to disturb you early in the morning.” There came a man’s voice from the other end of the call.Luke turned around and held Luca’s soft body in his arms. He buried his face in Luca’s hair. “What’s the matter?”"Are you able
“That’s why they contacted you.” Luca was wondering a moment ago. Did she not give the police her contact number?Why did they have to call Luke first before reaching her?It was Luke who told them to do so.No wonder there were hardly any calls coming in these days. It had been quiet.Luca sat down in front of the dressing table. She took the bandage and medicine out of the drawer, preparing to change her wound dressing. She did not get to change it last night as Luke was teasing her. “Are you changing the wound dressing?” Luke put on a collared shirt and understood what Luca was doing when he saw the bandage.“Yes.” Luca nodded and untied the gauze bandage.Round and round, the bandage covering her wound was slowly unfastened. The wound with stitches was exposed to the air.Luca carefully observed her wound.The sutured wound was already full of scabs because of the poison in Luca's body that sped up the healing of the wound. Also, she applied some medicine to it."There a
“Alright.” Luca turned her gaze away and opened the door.Two cars were parked in front of the entrance, waiting for them.“I’m going to work,” said Luca.Luke watched Luca get into the car and after she left, only then did he get into his car.“Boss, are we heading straight to the office?” asked the chauffeur.“To the police station, please,” replied Luke. He was dissatisfied with their progress on the case. He had to intervene when necessary. The police officer on duty recognized Luke the moment he stepped into the police station. He quickly invited him to the chief of police’s office. “Mr. Crawford, the chief is in a meeting now. It’ll take some time for the meeting to end.” said the police officer while pouring him a cup of tea.Luke took a flash drive out of his briefcase, “I didn’t come looking for your chief. I came to report a case.”“A case? This way, please.” The police officer’s anxiety immediately spiked. After all, they had not solved the Norman family’s case ye
