Chapter 3383 Willingly Step Into Her Own Downfall

"Yes." Luca nodded. "You have a mild fever and some inflammation in your body." Hera was surprised. "Inflammation? Where?"

She often mingled with men, so every few months, she made sure to get a check- up to avoid picking up any unwanted diseases. Her previous check-ups had all been normal, with no signs of any illness.

"You've been getting along well with the boss these days, haven't you?" Luca did not say it outright but hinted at it. She then glanced at the thermometer, seeing that her temperature had returned to normal.

Hera understood and widened her eyes. "You're saying I have inflammation there? That's impossible."

"Your body can't handle too much." Luca did not want to go into too much detail. She looked up and saw that the IV was nearly done. She rose to her feet, removed the needle, and pointed at the medicine on the side. "Your body won't have any major issues. Don't worry. Here are the anti-inflammatory pills for the next three days. Take them, and you should be fine."

Hera was still dazed. She sat up but did not react for a while.

Luca saw this and felt a twinge of sympathy.

While she knew that Luke would have intervened if Abel had made a move, Hera was still in danger.

Before Luca left, she said, "Ms. Sanchez, your freedom hasn't been restricted yet. It's actually quite simple if you want to leave. After all, life is more important than anything else."

Then, she walked out of the room.

Hera sat there for a while, confused. Then, she suddenly furrowed her brows. What did Luca mean by that?

Hera's jealousy flared. Was Luca trying to hint that she should leave?

She suddenly twisted Luca's good intentions into something else. Hera thought that if she left, Luca would become the only woman in the villa. She even thought that Luca advised her to leave because she liked Abel and wanted to gain his favor.

Hera's heart grew bitter as she believed Luca, like her, was just after Abel's money.

Determined, she clenched her fists. Luca wanted her to leave? Well, she would not. She needed lots of money to secure her future. Abel just happened to be the person who could provide it.

Hera scoffed and eyed the anti-inflammatory pills. She picked them up and inspected the colorful pills, which looked like candy.
