Chapter 3354 Do I Have To Go

Abel's pharmaceutical company was across town.

Watson was out in the suburbs. The drive would take over half an hour, and with Nyla involved, Luca dared not to waste a second. She rushed out of the building without even putting in a request for leave. She flagged down a cab and jumped

in.

As soon as she was in the cab, she called Rhett to go over the day's tasks and asked him to put in a leave request on her behalf.

After helping her out, Rhett asked, "Dr. Craw, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Just tell them I wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital." Luca hung up the call as soon as she finished speaking.

After the cab driver heard her, he asked with concern, "Miss, are you feeling sick? Would you like me to take you to the hospital instead?"

"No, just take me to my destination please." Luca knew her face looked tense and strained because she was worried about Nyla's situation.

That was why the driver, overhearing her conversation with Rhett, ended up misunderstanding the situation.

"Alright." The driver did not pry further, though he glanced at her in the rearview mirror. Then, she added, "Could you speed it up, please? I'm in a bit of a hurry."

The driver checked the GPS, nodded, and said, "No problem. The rush hour has passed, so I can get you there in half an hour, tops."

"Thank you,” replied Luca.

Every second mattered now. Luca knew too well what was at stake for both her and Nyla.

She had seen the brutal training for captured children on the Island of Despair. Their training was harsher than for adults.

Abel only kept children with high potential.

They were forced to fight every day, and any who did not survive were simply discarded without a second thought. Abel and his people would not show them any mercy.

After all, it cost more to raise and train a child than an adult. That was why they were very selective about those they chose.

Luca knew how cruel it was. If Nyla ended up in one of those training centers, she probably would not survive even a single day. If she could not endure, she was bound to be eliminated.
