Chapter 3442 Insanely Paranoid And Totally Self-Centered

Hera was startled by Luca's words.

The refusal that had been on the tip of her tongue suddenly got stuck in her throat.

"I..." Hera hesitated, feeling conflicted. Leaving Abel might not be such a bad idea. At least she would not have to live in constant fear.

She was finally realizing how unpredictable his moods were. At first, she thought it did not matter as she could still look at other men. She just had to ensure there was no physical contact. In reality, even if she so much as glanced at someone, Abel's expression would

darken with anger.

It was frustrating. Now, the only person she was allowed to look at was Gerald. Still, what was the point of just looking at Gerald?

At that thought, she lifted her gaze to Luca.

Luca added, "I'll give you five minutes. If you refuse treatment after that, I'll take the medicine back to Mr. Shanks and won't try to convince you again."

Hera's heart tightened. She did not even need five minutes. She had made her decision within 30 seconds.

"I'll take it. Give me the injection."

"Alright." Luca nodded, picking up the tourniquet and preparing the injection.

Hera's health was not great, so it was difficult to give her an injection. Luca had to tap her arm several times before a vein finally became visible.

"Are you doing this on purpose to get back at me?" Hera glared at her.

Luca replied indifferently, "Why would I waste my time on petty revenge?"

Hera was at a loss for words. It was true. There was not much to get back at her for. A few extra taps did not actually hurt.

As Luca administered the injection, Hera reminded her, "You can't tell Abel about this."
