Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3186

As Luca explained, Amur began to grasp the overall situation. "Got it."

Essentially, it boiled down to Abel not trusting Luca.

There was an old saying in A City, “If you doubt a person, don't use them. If you use them, don't doubt them.” However, this saying did not apply to Abel.

He doubted everyone, especially Luca and those around her.

Even Amur and Eler were closely watched by Abel's people, who feared they might do something to harm the interests of the Island of Despair.

At times, Amur could not grasp why Abel would assign Luca such important missions if he truly doubted her.

He could easily assign her other missions or just keep her confined on the Island of Despair. It would be a form of torment for Luke.

The person beside him was not the real Luca while the real Luca was being painfully manipulated. Was that not a better form of revenge?

Amur was puzzled.

Luca let out a sigh as she recalled the events in X City. She reminded, "Pierre’s incident caused a big stir, and then you had to carry out another mission after that. The police over there are now very vigilant, so you need to be extra careful."

"Yes, I will," replied Amur, secretly letting out a sigh. He did not let her know how he felt.

If Luca was really worried about him, she would not have gone so long without seeing him. If he had not asked, she would not have even mentioned that Abel was suspicious of her.

Thinking about this made Amur feel uneasy.

He glanced at the time and added, "I have to go now."

"Alright. Take care," reminded Luca, sensing something was off with Amur. "Amur, don’t force yourself on this mission, okay?"

If their mission failed but they were not caught, there would still be a chance to survive. However, if they failed and got caught, there would be no chance at all.

Like Jacob, who failed his mission and got caught, Gerald would have to deal with him.

Still, would someone like Gerald really dare to get rid of two people? Luca doubted he had the skill and courage for that.

Even if he did, taking out a living person was not a simple matter. It required both courage and determination.

Gerald lacked these qualities—unless he knew that if Jacob lived, he would have no chance to survive. In that case, he might fight back.

"Okay," replied Amur as he ended the call. He picked up a bag, left the apartment, and drove away.

…

Luca sat in her study, staring at her phone's screen. It took a long time before she came back to her senses. She shook her head.

"I hope everything goes well for him," murmured Luca.

With Abel currently in A City, she could not leave carelessly. If Abel found out, who knew what trouble he might cause?

All Luca wanted now was a bit of peace until Luke's friends and subordinates finished their investigations and took action.

She glanced at the documents on her desk. Her thoughts drifted to Shanks.

What exactly was Shanks researching? Why was he collecting these medicinal herbs? Luca could not figure it out.
