Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3195

A hint of mockery flashed across Amur’s eyes. On the Island of Despair, picking up a hint of humanity was not exactly a good thing.

However, he had changed so much that there was no going back to how he used to be.

As Amur thought about Gerald, he decided that he would just accept things as they were and stop pondering since he could not go back to his old self.

He did not mind the exhaustion and was ready to drive back to A City. Even though Luca would not take the initiative to come looking for him, she would definitely worry if he stayed in X City for too long.

Despite his desire for more of Luca's affection, he did not want her to be concerned. Therefore, he hurriedly drove back.

…

Luca was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her phone. Luke walked out of the bathroom and curiously asked when he saw her in such a state, "What's wrong?"

"I'm waiting for news from Amur," replied Luca, suddenly remembering that Amur had already replied to her message. Then, she shook her head. "Well, he might not reply."

Luke felt a bit jealous when he heard Luca mentioning Amur.

Still, he knew Luca had no romantic feelings for Amur. He found it kind of amusing how he was feeling jealous all by himself here and immediately realized it was actually not a big deal.

His wife was outstanding, and it was only natural that other men would admire her. What mattered was him being more exceptional than them, ensuring Luca's attention stayed on him. That way, any men who admired her would not dare make a move.

At the thought of this, Luke climbed up the bed and pulled Luca into his arms. Then, he asked, "Why are you waiting for his news?"

Since Luke already knew about the mission assigned by the Island of Despair, Luca explained without hiding anything.

"Abel assigned him a mission in X City. It's to assist Gerald in dealing with Jacob and Harold, who are being detained there. But it's Gerald who's supposed to carry out the mission, and if he fails, Amur will step in.

"I've been told that Gerald has completed the task and escaped successfully, but they still need confirmation. The question now is how that confirmation will turn out."

Luke frowned.

"What's the matter? Do you still need Jacob and Harold?" Luca thought his frown indicated a desire to keep Jacob.

Luke shook his head. "They aren't of much use. I never planned to use them as pawns."

In terms of understanding the Island of Despair, Jacob and Harold did not know nearly as much about it as Luca did.

Using Jacob to plot against Abel was futile since Abel would not care about such a small-time player.

"Then is it because of Amur..." Luca did not finish her sentence. Amur indeed had blood on his hands, but it was not by choice.

It was Abel who forced him to do these things…

They wanted to be kind, but how could those being manipulated by Abel manage that?

Luca knew it was all against their will. Even though they were guilty, the greatest sinner and villain was Abel, not them.

"Not really." Luke shook his head. “Gale and Rain have been on the Island of Despair since they were young, and they've taken no less lives than Amur. But if Gerald managed to escape this time, what about next time?

"He used to think the Island of Despair was just an ordinary organization, but now that he knows it's serious business. What will he do?”

Luke was not worried about Gerald evading responsibility since he was not his subordinate.

He was more concerned about whether the experience would change Gerald after he narrowly escaped death and now had blood on his hands.

Gerald was just an ordinary person without professional training. Experiencing something like this could drastically alter his mindset.

Luke feared that Gerald might become a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Although Gerald's transformation had nothing to do with him, Gerald had interacted with Luca before. Luke was worried that Gerald might pose a threat to her.

For some reason, after learning that Gerald had blood on his hands, his thoughts drifted in a certain direction. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

"Who knows? But Gerald has no way out," replied Luca. Unless Gerald was on her side, there might still be a way out for him.
