Luke's eyes darkened a little. At this point, it was clear they needed Luca. She was the only one who knew the layout of the Island of Despair.
Gale asked, “Should we call in Dr. Craw now?”
“I’ll go,” replied Luke. He rose to his feet and headed downstairs.
Luca was chatting with Vivian when she saw Luke come down. “Coffee?”
“No.” Luke glanced at Vivian. Then, after a moment, he said, “Miss Vivian, can I borrow Luca for a bit?”
Vivian chuckled and replied, “She’s all yours anyway.”
Luca stood up and said to Vivian, “Vivian, why don’t you check out the magazines? I’ll be back as soon as I’m done.”
“Luca, don’t worry about me. I know my way around here.” Vivian waved her phone and added, “If I need anything, I’ll ask Aunt Neile. Plus, I have the TV and my phone... There's no way I’m getting bored.”
“Oh, and there are two game consoles in the drawer if you feel like playing,” Luca assured her before following Luke upstairs into the bedroom.
“Dr. Craw, we could really use your help,” said Gale.
Luca nodded slightly and noticed the maps on the table. As she got closer, she realized they were all related to the Island of Despair.
She was startled for a moment and glanced at Luke.
He had been investigating the island all along without her even knowing. He had made significant progress without telling her.
Realizing his intentions, Luca smiled and said, “You’ve already found out so much. What do you need my help with?”
“We need to map out the underground area of the Island of Despair. Once we have that, we won’t be stumbling around in the dark. At least, we’ll have a solid idea of what we’re dealing with when we make a move,” explained Gale.
Luca nodded. “The underground of the Island of Despair is almost as big as the surface, though it might be slightly larger because of the island’s natural structure. Over the past two years, I’ve taken every chance I could to explore it.
"I wouldn’t say I know everything, but I’ve got a pretty good idea of most of the layout.”
Gordan asked with confusion, “Why two years?”
“I was pregnant during the first year. For the first six months, the baby was unstable, so they were afraid I’d try to take my life. They kept me locked in a room. After six months, when my belly started to show, even though I didn’t want to die anymore, I couldn’t move around much.
"It was only when I started training later that I managed to walk around and memorize what I could,” explained Luca.
Luke's pupils tightened, and he quietly held Luca's hand.
Luca knew why he reacted that way and added, “Honestly, calling it imprisonment isn’t quite accurate. Eler was taking care of me, so other than being confined, I wasn’t mistreated.”
After revealing her true identity, she explained to Luke about Eler and Amur.
Luke gave a slight nod, but guilt weighed on him. He had not taken good care of her and their daughter.
Gale said, “Boss, don’t worry. We’ll make sure he pays for what he’s done!”
If Abel had not provoked Luke and rebuilt the Island of Despair, Luke would not have bothered to launch an attack as long as he did not threaten A City or the Crawford family.
Luca knew they were all doing this for Luke and her, and she felt incredibly grateful.
Gordan picked up a pen and some paper. “Dr. Craw, you tell me what to draw, and I'll sketch it.”
“I’ll do it,” replied Luca.
Gordan handed over the pen and paper with a laugh, “Oh yeah, I almost forgot, you’re the pro here.”
