Chapter 3443 Luca and The Children Are Luke's Greatest Weakness

Luca had not expected Abel and Shanks' relationship to be like this.

It seemed Abel still did not trust Shanks.

Shanks continued, "Abel isn't someone who trusts people easily. He doesn't trust anyone. You think he's devoted to Kassy now, right? That's just his obsession. He's allowing Kassy to receive my treatment, but if it were him... No matter if he were blind or crippled, his safety would always come first. If he were seriously injured, maybe he'd accept treatment, but he definitely wouldn't do it right away."

Luca stayed silent. Shanks really understood Abel well.

Abel did not trust anyone-not even Kassy.

Calling him paranoid would not be an exaggeration.

Luca felt like they were getting off-topic, but she had never seen this side of Shanks before.

In her mind, he was always buried in his work at the lab, only leaving for meals and sleep. Other than that, he was practically never outside.

The lab was like his home...

"Are you troubled by Hera's situation?" Luca asked directly.

For Shanks to step out of the lab and even be drinking, it made her think they could have an honest conversation about it.

"Not exactly." Shanks' deep blue eyes remained calm, unaffected by the alcohol. He said, " I'm just wondering if my research has any meaning."

He had never doubted his work before.

His experiments always had a purpose. Even if they could not be made public, he knew that if his research was ever revealed, it would cause a major shift in the medical field.

However, this time, his research might put people at risk, and it was something he never wanted.

Even though this experiment could help a lot of people, Abel's actions made him question everything.

Was it really worth it?

Shanks did not pity Hera. He just had a bad feeling that if this experiment succeeded, Abel would become even more unhinged.

"It could help so many people," Luca said in a soft voice. If made public, it could change
