"Got it." Percy understood what he meant.

It was already midnight by the time they finished their drinking session.

After drinking, the three had their respective drivers drive them home instead of driving themselves.

Luke sat in the backseat while looking at the bright lights of A City. Even though it was already midnight, the streets were still lively as if the nightlife was never-ending.

“Boss, do you need me to turn up the heater?" Lliam asked faintly as he looked at Luke through the rearview mirror, who was silent the entire time.

"No need." Luke withdrew his gaze and leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed. He drank a little too much today, so he was feeling a little tipsy.

He drank this much not because of Pierre but Luca...

The woman he loved most.

Luke wished that he could just get rid of the Island of Despair for good, but he could not do it yet for the sake of Luca's health.

How long would he have to wait before Luca developed the antidote and escaped the clutches of the Island of Despair?

Lliam's driving was stable, and the road was not busy, so he was able to send Luke back to his mansion in less than half an hour.

After entering the mansion, Lliam opened the back seat door. When he saw that Luke still resting with his eyes closed, he said in a low voice, "Boss, we're here."

Luke slowly opened his eyes to see the garden illuminated with the lights that Luca had left on for him.

The lamps emitted a warm light at night and were a sign that no matter how late it was, there would always be someone waiting for him at home.

Luke wobbled a bit when he got out of the car.

Lliam immediately went up to support him. "Boss, let me assist you."

"It's okay. It's getting late, so you should go home. You don't need to get up early to pick me up tomorrow. I'll get another driver." Luke waved his hand and followed the trail of lights into the house.
