Luca blinked. She thought that it would take a lot of work to get Luke to share his worries with her. She did not expect to achieve her goal so easily.

Her few words made him admit that he was facing some troubles.

"What happened?" Luca continued to ask cautiously.

She was worried that Luke would be unhappy and stop sharing.

It was not that she wanted to spy on the secrets in his heart but she could not bear seeing Luke drinking to ease his worries.

Luke stared at Luca for a while.

Luca felt awkward. She almost thought that there was something on her face, or that he was confused from drinking and the alcohol got to his head, so he stopped talking.

Before she could speak, Luke said, "My mother... You've met her."

"Yes." When Allison was mentioned, Luca had a rough idea of what happened. She had heard that Allison was going to be released from prison but she did not ask in detail about when.

She knew that Allison should be getting out of prison soon seeing Luke's current state.

"The damage on her face is permanent and can't be fixed. If she were to spend a lifetime in prison, she may be able to accept the fact. But she's going to be released next Monday. The lawyer called me to arrange for her release from prison." Luke sighed helplessly.

Luca nodded. She was not in the place to comment on this matter.

It was the first time she had seen Luke so depressed since she returned to A City.

Luke could not ignore Allison because he still saw her as his mother. However, it was also because of this affection that it made his life difficult.

Someone like Allison, who cared about her image, would never accept that the wrinkles on her face could not be fixed.
