Chapter 3099
There was someone whose movements were far more agile in the Crawfords'
mansion. Why did their boss tell them to go in, and why did he want Stan to
help?
Compared to Stan, was Luca not as smart and dexterous?
"Well then, tell me, did my uncle expose something?" Gerald asked again.
"I'm not sure. Isn't Mr. Muller also under the boss’ control?" Luca pretended to
sound surprised.
Gerald waved his hand. "No, he's just purely helping me out. He's not part of the
Island of Despair."
"Oh." Luca glanced into the distance and reminded him, "The person I've been
watching has returned. Be careful. Don't blow my cover."
Gerald quickly followed her gaze and saw Luke approaching with a stack of
documents.
He let out a cold shiver as he knew this man was not easy to fool. Hence, he
reminded himself to be careful with his words as he could not risk getting caught.
There was only one rule when he received the training from the Island of Despair.
Everyone had to keep their lips sealed tight, and no careless disclosures were
allowed.
Luke came over, handed the documents to Gerald, and then looked at Luca.
"What were you two talking about?"
"Mr. Gerald is curious about how Mr. Muller got injured. I mentioned there's
surveillance in the mansion. After we settle things here, he can go over to the
mansion and check the footage," answered Luca.
Luke nodded. His cold gaze fell on Gerald's face. "The surveillance footage has
already been taken by the police. Head to the police station if you'd like to see it."
"Why did the police get involved?" Gerald was surprised. He was a head shorter
than Luke. When Luke approached, he could feel the pressure.
"Does this have anything to do with your house being broken into and robbed by
petty thieves?"
"You suspected something fishy, so I reported it for you. Let the police investigate
how Mr. Muller fell. That's it," replied Luke.
"Oh." Gerald stepped back, feeling uneasy.
He had a feeling something was about to happen. Thus, he calmed himself
down, intending to wait until Stan woke up before saying anything else.
As the person involved, Stan would surely know if someone had attacked him.
Luca said, "Mr. Muller should've been transferred to the ward by now, right?"
She felt a little bored talking to Gerald earlier, so she studied the hospital
structure hanging on the wall.
The structure of this hospital was similar to others. The wards were upstairs, and
one could take the elevator directly to the Neurosurgery Department.
"Let's go see Mr. Muller," said Luke as he wrapped his arm around Luca's waist
and left.
As Gerald watched the two of them, he could not help but mutter to himself. Even
though Luca was also from the Island of Despair, she looked more like Luke's
woman when she stood next to him.
Now that she seemed to be under Luke's control, could such a woman truly be
trusted?
Gerald thought to himself that he would surely include this when he reported
today's events to Abel.
It would be best if Abel could investigate whether Luca had any ulterior motives
so that he would not end up in trouble.
The three of them took the elevator to the Neurosurgery Department. As soon as
they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Stan lying on the hospital bed.
The bed was next to the nurses’ station, with a nurse handing over the patient's
work to the nurse of the Neurosurgery Department.
Gerald walked up hurriedly and shot a glance at Stan. He asked, "When will my
uncle wake up?"
The nurse glanced at him and then continued with the paperwork.
Gerald grew impatient again and asked, "I'm asking you, when will my uncle
wake up?"
The nurse replied in a cold voice, "How would I know? Each patient is different,
and it's already midnight. Please be mindful of your volume. Don't disturb the
other patients."
Gerald felt a bit embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Luca walked over, flipped Stan's eyelids, and observed.
"What are you doing?" Gerald asked nervously, worried that Luca might harm
Stan.
After all, Stan could potentially be a key witness in the whole incident.
Luca explained, "Just checking."
After that, she returned to Luke's side and said to him, "He'll probably wake up in
about half an hour."
"Okay." Luke's expression remained unchanged. He held Luca close and waited
until the nurse finished the procedures before walking to the ward with her.
He had arranged a double room for Stan.
However, it was only occupied by Stan at the moment. Therefore, after Gerald
followed them into the ward, he started making calls to his family members.
He could not decide on Stan's treatment plan alone, so he wanted to inform his
family to come over. This way, it would not solely be his responsibility if anything
happened to Stan.
Luca sat beside Luke, watching Gerald anxiously making one call after another.
Was he trying to summon the entire Muller family?
Unable to resist her concern, Luca opened Luke's palm and wrote on it.
She was expressing her concern.
Luke understood what she was worried about and whispered, "Gale will be here
later.”
Even if the entire Muller family came looking for trouble, he would not be afraid.
After Gale cooperated with the police to retrieve the surveillance footage from the
mansion, he promptly headed to the hospital.
With Gale and the others present, he believed those people would not dare to act
recklessly.
Luca was relieved when she knew that they were coming. With Gale around, no
one from the Muller family could harm Luke.
Dealing with troublemakers who threw tantrums could be frightening at times, but
with Gale and the others here keeping them in check, there was simply no need
to be afraid.
Gerald heard Luke's voice and turned around to look at him. "What did you say?"
"My men are on their way," replied Luke.
"What do you mean?" Gerald's expression changed immediately. "Why are you
bringing your men? Are you planning something against my uncle?

"If you try to avoid your responsibility, I'l tell the press how you mistreat your
employees and neglect those injured on the job tomorrow morning."
Luke remained silent.
Luca remained silent too, allowing Gerald to passionately advocate for Stan's
interests.

It made it hard to catch his breath.
Gerald was afraid.
He stopped talking. The two chairs were taken by Luke and Luca, leaving him to
sit on the other hospital bed.
After a while, there were sounds of painful groaning coming from the bed.
"Uncle Stan!" Gerald reacted first.
Luca and Luke exchanged a glance with each other. A hint of cunningness
flashed across Luca's eyes, as though she was telling Luke that her predictions
were always right.
Gerald approached the bed. His face was full of concern as he looked at Stan.
"Uncle Stan, wake up."
