Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2785

"Yes. They’re supposed to pay the ransom today. But everything's already been resolved. Pierre has been rescued. He should be on his way to A City now." Luke did not hide anything from her.

Luke decided not to keep anything from her when he noticed how anxious Luca was in the morning.

Even though she was not involved in Pierre's matter, she was related to it in some way. Otherwise, she would not have looked so absent-minded.

Luke did not want to see Luca upset.

Luca was surprised. She did not expect Pierre to be rescued last night.

If Pierre was rescued, then Amur would not have to go and collect the ransom today.

Luca’s mood became calmer. She was eager to know the details of the rescue operation. "Who saved Mr. Pierre?" asked Luca.

“Gordan," answered Luke honestly.

Luca was aware that it was Luke’s men who saved him if Gordan was involved in it.

Even though Gordan was not solely working for Luke, they had a close relationship, and they would always help each other out.

"Oh, it’s Mr. Norton..." Luca nodded and took a sip of soy milk. Her appetite came back as she set aside her worries.

"How’s Mr. Pierre doing?" Luca took a bite of the bread. She was curious about Pierre's exact condition as Amur told her what happened to him before.

"Not so good. Gordan said that his leg is most likely lame, and he's skin and bones," Luke told her what Gordan reported to him.

Luca understood.

The people of the Island of Despair would not treat their hostages kindly even if they had an ulterior motive.

Anyone who was not part of the organization would not be regarded as human whether they were kidnapped or captured by them.

Pierre's emaciation and malnourishment must have been due to mistreatment.

As for his lame leg, it must have been Amur who did that…

Amur was getting revenge on Pierre for what he did to her.

"What’s on your mind?" Luke deliberately asked when he noticed Luca remained silent.

Luca shook her head. She took a big bite of the bread. She did not feel sorry for Pierre, but she felt uncomfortable knowing that Amur hurt someone for her sake.

They would have to leave the Island of Despair in the future.

However, even if they left the organization, they were more skilled than the others. It was easy to hurt someone.

Still, they should not act that way after leaving the Island of Despair. Luca was worried that Amuer would not be able to adapt to normal life after that.

Amur and Eler had been on the Island of Despair for several years before her arrival.

Amur used to be trapped in the captive camp and had gone through a lot of suffering, including hunger, beatings, fighting, and even close calls to death…

After Luca rescued him from the captive camp, he learned a lot and became stronger.

Now, Amur believed that the only way to survive and not get bullied by others was to become stronger.

This would work on the Island of Despair.

It was wrong in this society. He was not the kind of person who would get involved in the underworld. He would eventually lead a normal life like everyone else, get married, and have children. His philosophy would cause him problems in such a life.

"Percy is planning to set up an operating room now. He wants Johann to help him perform surgery on Pierre," added Luke.

Luca could not help but be surprised when she heard that. She immediately understood why Percy was doing this as she remembered that Pierre was still wanted by the police.

"Private operating rooms are not common in A City. Mr. Mallory could’ve sent him to a private hospital where there’s more privacy. But there’s no way one can complete a surgery without any help. It takes four or five people in an operating room. The police will arrest them if any of them leaks the information…" said Luca.
