Talia’s despair grew as Luca said those words.

She only felt regret as she looked at Luca’s frigid expression. She regretted what she did just so that she could placate her envy and satisfy Cole’s ambition.

“I can explain, Dr. Craw,” Talia still tried to get on Luca’s good side.

Luca took a step back and stared at Talia coldly. “There’s no need for explanation, Talia.”

Talia opened her mouth but said nothing. Seeing that Luca had no intention of helping her, her despair slowly turned into resentment.

“No matter what your decision might be, you’re not going to get out of this scot-free. In any case, it’s better to own up before the other people find out what you did. Your body is weak now, and you need nutrition. I can only wish you good luck in your future.” After Luca said that, she turned around and left the room.

In the corridor, she met Mrs. Sullivan, who had returned from the cafeteria with some food.

“Are you leaving already, Ms. Craw?” Mrs. Sullivan said eagerly, thinking that she was her daughter’s savior.

After all, Luca was the only person who visited Talia without causing trouble. Moreover, she had brought gifts.

Luca nodded and said, “Yes.”

Mrs. Sullivan did not know what happened in the room. She tried to ask Luca to stay. “Why are you going away so soon? I’ve bought some extra food for you. I hope that you can stay and have a meal with us. Talia has been through a lot in the past few days, and we’re glad that you’re here for us.”

Luca guessed that Mrs. Sullivan would not treat her like that if she found out what Luca said to Talia in the room.

“It’s fine. I have somewhere else to go,” Luca said and went toward the elevator lobby.

Mrs. Sullivan tried to ask her again to stay so that Luca would have a good impression of them, but when she turned her head to look toward the elevator lobby, she saw several people walking in her direction. She quickly turned around, covered her face, and briskly walked back into the room.
