Chapter 296
Luke gazed at Linda, his eyes soft and glistening, like an abandoned child yearning for comfort
Linda couldn’t bring herself to say anything more and only promised, “Once this is all over, we’ll he
I head back to Osmo. I’ll make sure you
are you get the best treatment for your injuries.” “Don’t listen to what the doctors say, I know my body better than anyone,” Luke said with a carefree grin, though Linda remained deeply concerned.
Just then, Samson called. Unda hadn’t gotten a new phone yet, so Lina had left her an extra one to use
“Linda, are you alright?”
“I’m fine and just have a broken arm. Luke’s injuries are more serious.”
Hearing that she was okay, Samson let out a sigh of relief. “Do you need me to come over?
“No. If you come here, who’s going to take care of Lexi? We’ll probably head back in a couple of days since Osmo has better medical facilities, anyway.” Samson agreed.“Shall 1 arrange a private jet for your return?”
“That would be helpful,” Linda replied.
“Are you at the hotel?”
“I’m at the hospital.”
“Put Mr. Hunter on the phone,” Samson requested.
So, Linda turned on the speakerphone. “Samson wants to talk to you.”
“Mr. Hunter, thank you. I’ll cover all of your medical expenses and anything else you need during your recovery”
“I think I can manage without that, Mr. Lynch. I went to rescue Lindabecause I wanted to.”
Luke coughed lightly and continued, “I’ve been through worse than this. It’s not a big deal, so you don’t need to feel overly indebted. I consider it an honor to be hurt for someone I care about”
His direct admission of affection for Linda hung in the air, and Samson wasn’t surprised. He had long suspected Luke’s feelings for her. No one could miss the way Luke looked at Unda, his love for her barely hidden in his eyes.
“So, you know about our relationship,” Samson said
“Of course”
“Then, I wish you a swift recovery ”
At the police station, William and Lina met with the two kidnappers,
“Mr. Wilson, Ms. Smith, based on the current investigation and the suspects‘ confessions, everything appears to be as they’ve said, the deputy chiet explained.
“The mastermind behind this is in Osmo, and we’ve already coordinated with Osmo’s police to arrest the individual responsible. Both police departments will work together to handle the rest of the investigation”
