Luke, who was on the other end of the line, remained silent for a few seconds. He knew Luca was only looking for an excuse. Whatever she was doing now must have something to do with the Island of Despair.

Luke did not ask anyone to track her down because Rain and Gale were busy with their work. He could not trust the others.

Luke felt a little annoyed for not being able to ask someone to follow Luca after knowing that Luca was doing something the Island of Despair had instructed her to. Then, he asked, “What happened to Amur?"

"Nothing. He's recuperating his health lately and needs some herbs. It's a little difficult to find them. Someone called me and I went to take a look," said Luca. She looked down and thought that she used to be bad at lying to Luke, but she was getting better at it now.

"Have you bought them?" Luke asked caringly.

"No. The herbs were fake. I'll continue to look for them," replied Luca. She looked up and looked at the scenery outside the window.

There was another round of silence at the other end of the line. Then, Luca heard the ringing tone of the phone.

When she thought Luke had ended the call, she heard him say, "What herbs are those? Johann might be able to help."

"It'd be better not to trouble Dr. Park. I'll look for them myself," answered Luca. Even if she asked for Johann's help, it was unlikely that Johann would be able to find them.

Johann was a doctor, but he was not a specialist in naturopathy.

Besides, the medicinal herbs that Shanks was looking for were almost extinct, so Johann might not know about them.

Luke knew what Luca meant. She wanted to solve this herself. Even though Luke knew it was an excuse, he could not help but say, "Just tell me if you need any help."

"Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Luca could only thank him in a polite and aloof manner.

Luke's eyes darkened at once, and he asked, "Lanie, Rainie, and Tommy will be sent here tonight. Will you be coming back home for dinner?"

"Yes, I'll go back for dinner," said Luca. She missed her children.

The telephone in Luke's office was still ringing. Luke was annoyed. He had so much he wanted to say, but he eventually just said, "Come back earlier. Stay warm and take care of yourself out there."
