“I think you misunderstood me. If I wanted to leave, I could've done it anytime.” Luca rose to her feet. She had not left earlier because there were thugs downstairs, and taking Vivian with her might have resulted in injuries.
Luca was not afraid. She just did not want to get hurt.
If either she or Vivian got injured because of this kidnapping, it would be a mess to deal with.
“You!” Before Karen could finish her sentence, a sharp pain shot through her hand, causing her to drop the knife.
She looked down and saw a thin needle sticking out of her wrist.
“What's this?” Karen screamed and realized that the needle looked familiar.
It looked like the ones that were used for Pierre’s dry needling treatment.
Karen glared at Luca furiously. Luca had already pulled Vivian behind her. “It's just a needle. Pull it out, and you'll be fine. Madam Mallory, I'm done playing games with you. I'm definitely going to press charges for today's kidnapping. As for Mr. Pierre, he'd better take care of himself.”
“Luca, I'll kill you!” Karen, in a frenzy, grabbed the knife and lunged at Luca.
“Luca, watch out!”
“Dr. Craw, be careful!”
Two voices shouted simultaneously as Luca turned around to see Karen charging at her with the knife.
What a crazy woman!
Luca tried to dodge to the side but was grabbed by someone.
Luca glanced at the person and saw it was Vivian who had grabbed her.
“Vivian!” exclaimed Luca. The next moment, the knife slashed across Vivian's hand.
Vivian had braced herself for the injury, but she still groaned when the knife cut her skin.
At the same time, Gale kicked Karen away.
“Damn it!” Pierre, who was lying in bed, watched helplessly as his mother was kicked. He could not get out of bed to do anything.
Luca's expression darkened as she glanced at Vivian's hand.
The wound did not look too deep, and she realized that if it had not been for Vivian, she might have been the one who got cut.
Her expression turned even grimmer, and her fists clenched tightly.
Karen lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
When Vivian noticed the expression on Luca’s face, she feared Luca might do something extreme. Hence, she grabbed her hand and said, “Luca, I'm okay. Let's go to the hospital. Mr. Crawford will handle things here.”
“Alright, let's go to the hospital first.” Luca glared at Karen and then at Pierre before helping Vivian out.
When they got into Gale’s car, Luca took off her jacket and wrapped it around Vivian's hand. “We don't have any bandages now, so this will have to do to stop the bleeding. The wound isn't deep, but it's long. We still need to go to the hospital.”
“Okay, I’m fine,” Vivian reassured her. It hurt, but it was bearable.
Gale drove toward the hospital, updating Luke on the situation along the way.
When Luke heard that Karen had not only kidnapped Luca but also Vivian and tried to harm Luca, his tone turned icy cold. “Take Ms. Vivian to the hospital first. I'll take care of the rest.”
“Got it, boss,” replied Gale. Then, he stepped on the gas.
Since Vivian's injury was not serious, Luca decided not to go to Johann's hospital and instead chose a private one which was nearer.
The emergency doctor worked quickly, treating Vivian's wound right away.
After paying the bill, Luca was ready to take Vivian back to school.
Just as they walked out of the ER, they saw someone squatting in the hospital garden, smoking a cigarette.
Luca immediately recognized him as Gordan.
She shot a glance at Vivian.
The smile that had been on Vivian's face disappeared.
Luca heaved a sigh, unsure if Gordan had shown up on purpose.
