Tears welled up in Nina’s eyes when she saw that Luca came prepared.

She thought that Luca was worried about her, and that was why Luca wanted to stay over for a few days…

Luca thought that Nina was reluctant to let her stay there. She said, “If it’s not convenient for you, I can book the room next door. I don’t have my ID with me now, so I might have to borrow your ID to book a room.”

Her concern for Nina was genuine, but she was also using Nina for her convenience.

She would have to go and take the antidote in two days. It would not be very convenient if Luke’s subordinates tailed her.

Nina said, “I’m happy that you’re willing to accompany me. Thank you so much, Luca.”

She was genuinely touched by Luca’s gesture, and she called her “Luca” instead of “Dr. Craw.”

Luca smiled and put her backpack away. “What would it be? Can you still sleep?”

Nina shook her head. “I don’t think I can sleep.”

Luca could see the sorrow in her eyes. Even though she had missed out on what happened between Nina and Percy for the last three years, she could guess that Nina was not used to the sudden breakup.

“I have an idea. How about we drink some wine?” Luca suggested with a smile. It was easier to release one’s feelings after taking a glass or two, and it would be easier to fall asleep as well.

However, alcohol was bad for health. If it were not the case, Luca would rather drink wine to help her sleep rather than take sleeping pills.

Nina nodded in agreement, though she glanced at Luca’s forehead and shook her head. “You still have a wound on your forehead. You shouldn’t drink wine.”

“Don’t you want to drink?” Luca asked.

“I want to, but the wine isn’t going to be good for your wound,” Nina said. She wondered if Luke would blame her if something happened to Luca.
