Chapter 3439 Any Man Who Sees Her Will Be Attracted
"This cup of coffee is from that gentleman for this lady." The waiter smiled as he explained, placing the cup in front of Luca.
Hera followed the waiter's gaze and immediately recognized the man Luca had been looking at earlier.
Her eyes darkened. She had noticed the man glancing in their direction. However, she had assumed he was looking at her.
After all, she was dressed seductively, had put on makeup, and was undeniably beautiful. Any man who saw her would be attracted. If a man's eyes lingered on her, it was not surprising at all.
Realizing that the man had been watching Luca the whole time instead of her, Hera suddenly felt annoyed.
Luca noticed her displeasure, glanced at Gordan, then smiled and said to the waiter, "Please thank the gentleman for me."
"Of course, miss. Enjoy your coffee." The waiter, sensing the tension between the two women, quickly grabbed his tray and left before Hera's sour mood could affect him too.
"Hmph, feeling proud of yourself?" asked Hera.
Luca took a sip of her coffee. It was rich and bitter, with no milk or sugar. It was just the way she liked it.
Hera leaned back and asked, "Does it taste good?"
"Not bad," replied Luca. This café was a national chain, so, of course, the quality was decent.
"You just drink whatever people give you? Be careful. It might be poisoned," scoffed Hera.
Luca almost wanted to reply that this was a café, not a bar.
However, after spending some time around Hera, she had come to understand her personality well. Instead of arguing, Luca swallowed her words.
It did not matter what she said. Hera would always find fault with her.
Luca simply took another sip of her coffee.
Hera, feeling completely ignored, grew even more irritated. She picked up her own cup, took a sip, then grimaced." Ugh, this coffee is overpriced. It tastes awful. Even the instant coffee my boyfriend brings me is better than this."
Luca wanted to laugh.
However, knowing that Hera would explode if she did, she kept quiet and continued drinking her coffee.
She had a feeling that once Hera's health report came back, things were about to get busy.
Hera seemed ready to say something else, but when she saw Luca ignoring her, she got even more frustrated. With
a huff, she waved over the waiter, handed him a black card, and told him to settle the bill.
Luca knew she was in a bad mood, but she did not comment. She simply took her last sip of coffee and was about to stand up when her phone started buzzing repeatedly.
She picked it up and glanced at the screen.
It was a message from the hospital.
Some of Hera's test results had come in.
As Luca scanned through the numbers, comparing them to the normal ranges, her expression tightened.noveldrama
"What are you looking at?" Hera suddenly had a bad feeling from Luca's reaction.
Luca lifted her gaze and looked at Hera.
Hera's heart tightened for a moment.
"It's nothing," replied Luca as she slipped her phone back into her pocket before standing up and gathering all the shopping bags.
Seeing them getting ready to leave, Gordan also stood up, instinctively stepping forward to help.
Noticing his movement, Luca shook her head slightly, signaling that there was no need.
Gordon froze and then withdrew his hand.
Hera took back her black card from the waiter, maintaining a deliberately graceful posture as she stood up. She had done enough shopping for the day. It was time to go home.
The two of them headed downstairs and got into a cab.
Luca placed all the bags in the back seat before settling into the front passenger seat and pulling out her phone. She wanted to take a closer look at Hera's medical report.
Several of the indicators in the report were concerning. Normally, when someone were to undergo a transplant, these were the key factors taken into consideration.
The same applied to donors. Whether donating a liver, a kidney, or any other organ, these metrics must meet the required standards. Hera's current numbers were nowhere near qualifying for donation.
Initially, Luca was not too worried. After all, when Abel made his move, Luke and his team would act as well. Hera would not be harmed.
However, once Abel realized that Hera was not a suitable donor and that her poor health could even pose a risk to Kassy, she might lose her value entirely.
A sense of unease crept over Luca as she thought about the possible consequences.
Abel had invested a great deal of resources and effort into Hera. If he was suddenly told that her condition made her unsuitable for Kassy's transplant and that forcing it could lead to infection, illness, or even a failed surgery, there was no way he would just let it slide.
Even if Hera's health could be improved, it would not happen overnight. Meanwhile, the volunteer for the clinical trial was already showing signs of recovery. Soon, he would regain normal vision.
Once that happened, it would mark the moment Abel made his move to save Kassy.
"What are you looking at?" questioned Hera.
Although she was sitting behind Luca and could not see her face, she could sense a certain seriousness in her expression.
A thought flashed through Hera's mind-her medical test results. She knew that some test results could come back quickly.
A trace of worry crept into her voice as she asked, "Did something come up in my report?"
"No." Luca decided not to tell her just yet. She needed to discuss this with Shanks first and figure out the best way to handle the situation.
"Don't try to fool me." Hera refused to believe her.
Luca turned back and gave her a calm, indifferent glance. "Why would I lie to you?"
Hera was stunned for a moment. She had to admit that Luca had a point. There was no reason for her to lie.
If there really was something wrong with her medical report, Luca should be the happiest person to hear it.
Even though she never openly showed it, Hera could feel that Luca did not like her. Likewise, she did not like Luca either.
If there really was something wrong with her medical report, Luca would definitely be gloating about it instead of acting all secretive.
At the thought of this, Hera let out a cold snort. "Hmph, you're acting all secretive. It's probably nothing good." Luca remained silent. Hera was not wrong. It really was not good news.
When they arrived back at the villa, Luca handed the shopping bags to Gerald, who was walking toward her.
"Ms. Craw, are you heading somewhere?" Gerald hurriedly took the bags from her. His hands suddenly felt heavy. Just how much had Luca bought?
"I need to find Mr. Shanks. These are Ms. Sanchez's things. Bring them inside."
Gerald immediately understood that these belonged to Hera.
Even though he was not familiar with luxury brands, he could tell from the high-end shopping bags that everything she bought must have been expensive. Carefully, he adjusted his grip, making sure to handle them with
extra care.
"Where's Luca?" Hera frowned and asked as she walked over.
The moment they got out of the car, Luca grabbed all the bags and rushed inside. It was as though she had something urgent to do.
Now that Hera had entered the house, Luca was nowhere to be seen. Instead, all her purchases were in Gerald's hands.
"Oh, Ms. Craw went to see Mr. Shanks about something. Ms. Sanchez, let me carry these up for you," Gerald fawningly said.
