“I drank some when I was on the mission." Amur found an excuse to cover up the fact that he was drowning himself in alcohol. He had been going out drinking for a few nights now.

He could not calm himself down at the thought of Luca staying with Luke, and he had never stopped thinking of bringing her back to his side.

However, Luca would not allow him to do so. Therefore, Amur had no choice but to drink his sorrows away.

Luca frowned as she listened to his hoarse yet slightly slurred words. "Amur, is something bothering you lately?"

Amur remained silent for quite some time.

He so badly wanted to tell her that she was his biggest worry, but how could he say something like that to her?

Luca only saw him as her younger brother.

"No. Stop overthinking." Amur looked down. He dared not to say anything like that to her.

If Luca knew he had feelings for her, she would convince him to forget about her and return to the Island of Despair.

Now that she was surrounded by danger, he could not just go back to the Island of Despair and leave her alone in A City. Abel hated her so much. Even if she was still useful to him, Abel would not save her if she encountered any danger.

Luca knew he was not telling her the truth. However, Amur was already an adult. Even though Luca knew he was not being honest with her, there was nothing that she could do about it either. She let out a helpless sigh and reminded him, saying, "Drinking too often is bad for your health. It's late. Get some rest."

"Thank you for cleaning up the apartment for me today." Amur hung up right after he said that.

If he had known Luca would be coming today, he would not have gone out drinking no matter what.

As Luca listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, she wondered if it was because Amur had been outside for too long and that was why he was acting weird.

Actually, he did not have to stay in A City to protect her.
