Queenie shook her head, pulled out a tissue, and gently wiped away the tears on Luca's face. "When I first saw the news about you and Luke, I really thought he betrayed his marriage.

"I got so upset my blood pressure skyrocketed. But Luke told me about your situation that day, so my health has been good for the past few days. However, to find out more about your situation, I agreed to pretend to be unwell and stayed in the hospital.

"Bianca, you're too naive. You've endured so much alone without telling us. We could protect you. Why did you have to face all this on your own?"

Luca sniffed. Her eyes had dried from wiping tears, and she was left with a bitter feeling in her heart.

"Mom, I didn't have a choice. The Island of Despair is an organization with many killers and advanced weapons. I didn't want to involve my loved ones before I had it all figured out," explained Luca. Her voice was nasal and heavy due to her crying earlier.

After that, she glanced back at Luke.

Even though she was addressing Queenie's concerns, it was also directed at Luke.

She did not keep it from him intentionally. She did not want to put him in danger.

Even though she did not participate in the initial eradication of the Island of Despair, she knew it was a difficult mission. If Luke had not sought help from various forces, they would not have been able to eliminate them.

Luca had spent time on the island, and she understood the terror within. Top-ranked assassins from various world rankings were all enlisted by the Island of Despair. Some joined voluntarily, while others were coerced into it, ending up having to work for them.

Luca worried that one day, Abel would seize the opportunity to control Luke. That was why when she first came back, she secretly researched the formula to replicate the antidote. Only with the knowledge of making the antidote could she feel secure.

Even if the Island of Despair took control of them in the end, having the antidote would allow them to break free at any time.

Luca's actions were not only for her own sake and the well-being of Amur and Eler, but also a response to witnessing the tactics the Island of Despair used to force other top-tier assassins into their service.

She feared that the same methods might be applied to Luke, which prompted her to take such measures.

Luke's heart softened when he heard Luca's explanation.
