Luca fell silent.
Even though she had yet to find out what the matter was, she was pretty sure that this had something to do with Abel.
However, was the spy Dr. Albus, the researchers under him, or Mo Stone?
Mo realized Luca had not answered, so she asked carefully, “Dr. Craw, will it be inconvenient for you?"
Luca snapped back to her senses. She did not test Mo and just said, "No, I'm just surprised to hear that. After all, I was never
involved in Dr. Albus' research before this."
"Actually, Dr. Albus' research is already at the clinical stage, but we've encountered some difficulties. It has been troubling us for
a week, and we've already asked everyone we could. You know as well that every professor is busy with their own research.
Even though Dr. Albus asked for their help, they can't spend too much time helping him solve the problems," Mo explained the
current situation to Luca helplessly.
Luca understood. She was only slightly surprised. "Dr. Albus' research has already reached the clinical stage?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't they move to another lab?" Luca knew the policy was meant for her. Luke did that to restrain her from leaving T
Corporation so that it would be convenient for him to keep an eye on her.
However, the policy was already implemented, so it was unlikely that it was not exercised in the company.
Since Dr. Albus' research had already reached the clinical stage, why had they not moved to the office building of T Corporation?
"It's because someone from the headquarters told us that every floor is occupied, so there's no place for us. That's why they
asked Dr. Albus to continue his research here," Mo replied.
Luca had been busy with her work, and she did not notice the situation in the office at all. It seemed like Luke had already
thought about it when he arranged for her to move to another lab.
"I got it. Can you tell me what's the situation over there with Dr. Albus?" Luca asked.
Mo paused for a moment. "I can't explain it on the phone. I have a document with me now. Why don't I send it to you? You'll be
able to figure it out when you read it." "Alright. I'll give you an answer after I learn about the difficulties you're facing now." Luca
did not know if the issues they were facing were within her capabilities to solve. Besides, she wanted to find out who Abel had
placed in the company.
There were many people on the Island of Despair. Even though she was there for three years, she was still unable to recognize
all of them.
Furthermore, all of this was Abel's plan. Naturally, he could separate his subordinates as he wished. They would not know each
other's identities unless they were given the antidote at the same place and time.
"Alright. I'm sending it to you now," replied Mo as she sent the document to Luca's email. “Dr. Craw, I've sent it. Have you
received it?"
Luca walked to her desk and glanced at her laptop screen. "Yes, I've received it. Let me take a look at it first."
"Alright. I'll be waiting for your call." Mo took the initiative to hang up after that.
Luca downloaded the attachment on her laptop. Then, she opened it and read the contents.
It was mainly about the research problems that they were facing when they were preparing for the clinical experiment.
Luca frowned when she saw the chemical formulas. Sure enough, they were complicated. Still, she was taught by Shanks, after
all. These were not considered difficult for her.
She could help...
The most important thing was what Abel had told her. If she refused to help, Dr. Albus would definitely not say anything about it.
However, the one who was secretly working for Abel would do his job and inform Abel about it.
At that time, she would still be the unlucky one.
Hence, she had to agree no matter who was behind this.
Luca glanced at the time. She sent a message to Mo: [I'll go over there tomorrow.]
Mo Stone replied soon after: [Alright. Thank you, Dr. Craw. See you tomorrow.]
After Luca read Mo's reply, she called Amur.
When he answered the call, he was in a noisy environment. "Amur, where are you?"
It was already 11 at night. Why was he still wandering outside? Judging from the noisy music in the background, it seemed like
he was at a bar.
"I'm at a bar carrying out my mission." Amur walked through the crowd, heading to the bar's entrance. He unconsciously lied to
her.
Amur was not carrying out a mission. He simply felt uncomfortable at the thought of Luca staying together with Luke now, so he
could not fall asleep. Hence, he came to the bar for a drink.
Luca frowned. He had just come back not long ago, yet Abel had already assigned him another mission?
That was not possible. Those who had just accomplished their missions would have at least a week of rest.
"Are you really carrying out your mission?" Luca confirmed with him. Amur seldom drank when he was on the island.
Sometimes, some people would encourage him to join them for a drink. However, he would always reject them by telling them
that he had to keep his mind clear.
She could even count how many times she had seen Amur drinking with both of her hands in those three years.
"Yes." Amur paused for a moment and decided to continue to lie to Luca. He had no idea how he should tell her about his
feelings.
Luca would not be able to understand his feelings nor the reason he had been acting this way. It was because she had been
treating him as her younger brother the entire time.
“Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's late.” Amur walked out of the bar and listened to the noise from her end. He did not hear
anything other than her voice.
Luke was not sleeping with her in the same room...
Amur was secretly rejoicing for a moment. They were only staying together under the same roof. They were not close enough to
sleep in the same room yet.
Did that mean he still had a chance if he continued to be considerate to Luca and protect her?
Luca remembered what she wanted to tell him and quickly said, "Oh yes. I suspect one of Abel's people is working in Watson
Biopharmaceuticals. But I don't know who it is yet. I'd like you to help me to find out who it is. I need to know who's that person to
get the upper hand."
"Did Abel assign you another mission?" Amur asked.
"He's always been assigning me missions all this time. But I'm still currently in a passive position now. Those people he arranged
probably know about my existence and my mission, but I know nothing about them.." Luca was helpless. She could investigate
the matter herself, but she was quite occupied now. How could she possibly have the time to do all these?
Unless she sacrificed her sleep.
"You only have to carry out the mission as he said. It's the same no matter what kind of mission it is." Amur reminded her.
"Amur, you know what he means to me. I really don't want to hurt him, but I'm left with no choice now. I have to listen to what
Abel says. Still, that doesn't mean I'm going to do everything as I'm told. I want to know who those people are, and I want to
know what their missions are. That's how I can turn my passive position into an active one. Also, it's to minimize the harm that
Luke will face in the future," said Luca. Luke was Nyla's father, and she thought Amur would understand her.
