Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3117

However, Amur could not catch evidence of Luca lying to him. "Got it. If anything happens, I'll tell you.”

"You need to protect yourself, Amur. We'll be free soon," replied Luca.

Amur was taken aback for a moment.

Freedom? He knew how to read and write the word, but he had never dared to dream about it.

Perhaps he once used to dream about it.

When they were still on the Island of Despair, Luca told him what freedom was, and he had dreamed about it then.

Standing in the outside world meant freedom.

However, as days passed with the brutal training on the Island of Despair, he realized that even when he was out there, he was not free at all.

Despite having control over much of his time, he was still bound by the commands of the Island of Despair. He also had to regularly return to the base for the antidote.

Without the antidote, he might have more freedom, but it would come at the cost of his life.

Amur never doubted that he could sacrifice his life for a moment of freedom.

However, he had a burden on his back now. That meant he could not make freedom contingent on giving up his life.

If something happened to him, things would be terrible for Eler and Luca on the Island of Despair.

Hence, Amur did not need that kind of freedom.

"Luca, why do you say that?" Amur knew that Luca had developed the antidote.

Still, what good was the antidote? Their most valued people were still on the Island of Despair.

As long as Eler and Nyla were still there, they would not be free.

"I just have a feeling. Trust me, okay?" Luca knew that Amur was tormented by the missions and had lost some desire for survival.

If it were not for Eler and Nyla, and if it were not for her...

He might have failed the missions long ago.

Each time he completed a mission, he gained great benefits. Yet, he could not break free from the cage of the Island of Despair. Thus, each reward was meaningless to him.

For those from the Island of Despair, material wealth was not gained through money but through one's own fists and abilities.

Luca understood this clearly.

Therefore, no matter how much money there was, it was meaningless to Amur.

"I trust you.” Even if Amur had lost his longing for freedom, he was still willing to choose to trust Luca. At least, he could appear calm on the surface.

As for his inner self, he had already numbed himself through constant killing and training.

Luca let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, just be careful. Before real freedom arrives, promise me you'll be okay. Think about it. You're everything to Eler. She hasn't seen the outside world yet..."

"I know, Luca. I won't easily give up hope for life," Amur promised her.

Missions were not always smooth sailing. He had also undertaken life-threatening missions, but it was his strong inner belief that sustained him, allowing him to seize opportunities in that one-tenth chance.

It was because he had to protect Eler, Luca, and Nyla.

After ending the call, Luca let out a deep sigh.

She felt heavily burdened...
