Luca could clearly hear the voice that came from the other end of the phone call. She said immediately, “It sounds serious. You'd better get going."

“What about you..." Nina was worried about leaving Luca alone at home.

"I'm fine. Look at me. I was fine last night, so nothing else will happen tonight. Don't worry. Family is most important." Luca convinced her.

Nina pursed her lips. Something might happen to Jean at the hospital if Nina did not show up.

She had no choice but to head to the hospital. "I'm going to the hospital, then. Remember to call me if anything happens here."

"Don't worry. Nothing is going to happen. Oh, you'd better inform Mr. Mallory about this." Luca reminded her. "Percy is someone with high social status. The hospital and police officers will cut Jean some slack even if something has happened."

"I got it," Nina replied. Then, she turned around and left.

Luca slowly walked toward the door. She watched Nina leave the villa through the glass window, and she let out a sigh.

Nina could finally live in peace, but Jean messed it all up.

What a troublemaker.

Luca carried her briefcase and laptop before slowly walking up.

It was a two-story villa, so there was no elevator installed. She could only make her way up the stairs step by step.

The wound was hurting, but Luca endured the pain and continued to head upstairs.

She slowly walked up to the second floor. When she was about to let out a sigh of relief,

Tommy walked out of Lanie's bedroom and saw Luca. He dashed toward her, thinking of giving Luca a big hug.

"Ms. Luca!"
