Chapter 3448 Tortured Until Losing The Will To Live

"You don't need to remind me. I was going to check anyway." Abel shot Luca a chilling look.

She took a step back and stayed silent.

Abel turned to the pale-faced Hera and said, "If you've got low blood sugar, get up and eat something."

"I'll eat now," Hera replied, sitting up.

Luca handed her the takeout.

Abel glanced at the food and then frowned at Luca. "Why didn't you make breakfast this morning?"

"I was busy," Luca explained with a calm indifference, her expression unwavering. She showed no fear, even under Abel's questioning.

Hera suddenly found herself admiring Luca. Everyone feared this man, yet Luca remained composed even when facing potential punishment. Not just anyone could pull that off.

At the thought of this, Hera opened the takeout and kept quiet.

Abel narrowed his eyes, glancing between Hera and Luca. His gaze was not exactly gentle as he muttered, "Stop eating this junk. It's bad for you."

"I know, babe. Just this once. After this, I'll have what Luca cooks from now on," replied Hera.

Luca held her life in her hands now. She could not afford to piss her off. If she crossed her and Luca exposed the truth, her good days would be over.

Abel gave her a skeptical look.

Previously, Hera would always find a way to blame Luca for everything and was constantly picking fights. Why was she staying quiet this time and even acting as obedient as a little kitten?

What kind of spell did Luca put on her?

Hera took a bite of her food but could not shake the feeling of being watched.

The hair on her neck stood on end. She looked up and saw that Abel was indeed staring at her. His eyes were full of suspicion.

A chill ran through her. She forced an awkward smile and asked, "Babe, do you want some?"

Abel's frown deepened. "No."

"Okay." Lowering her gaze, Hera continued to eat her breakfast, using the simple act as a veil for her growing unease. Did she say something wrong? Why was Abel looking at her like that?

Luca stood still, waiting patiently. Yet she could feel Abel's scrutinizing gaze lingering on her and Hera, probing for something unseen. A quiet sense of helplessness settled over her.
