Chapter 3362 It Can Help So Many People
Luca pushed open the door and went downstairs. It was still early, and the people for the clinical trials hadn't arrived yet.
Luca found Gerald in the kitchen, making breakfast.
Gerald was not as skilled as the others from the Island of Despair, so he was the one who usually cooked breakfast here. After all, the weak had no say in a place like the Island of Despair.
When Gerald heard footsteps, he turned around and saw Luca. He could not help but shiver.
The man who had tried to make a pass at her yesterday had been carried away later on.
They originally wanted Shanks to help treat him, but after Shanks examined him, he said that he needed to go to the hospital for treatment since the equipment here was not sufficient for the necessary surgery.
That man had to be sent to the hospital for surgery that very night.
According to the group who brought the man to the hospital, the doctor was shocked when he saw the man's injuries. The doctor even said on the spot that it looked like a woman had kicked him so viciously and asked if they wanted to report it to the authorities.
Of course, they did not need to call the police. The man was rushed straight into surgery that night.
The doctor also mentioned that the damage was so severe it would be hard to recover to full function. Any extent of recovery would be considered good.
Gerald shivered again, realizing how terrifying Luca was. He could not mess with her.
"Are you making breakfast?" Luca saw him in his apron. She could not help but frown. He did not look anything like the others from the Island of Despair. He seemed more like a house husband.
Luca was surprised when she saw such a scene. The people at the base usually handled their own food. No one ever made breakfast for everyone like Gerald did.
"Yes." Gerald looked at her carefully.
Luca stepped closer. "I need a favor."
Gerald was surprised. "What kind of favor?"
"Could you buy me a few sets of clothes?" asked Luca, "I came here in such a rush, so I didn't bring anything."
A look of awkwardness flashed across Gerald's face. He was not sure if he should go out. After a brief pause, he said, "Ms. Craw, isn't your boyfriend's villa nearby? It's only half an hour's drive. Shouldn't there still be some of your clothes there?"
Luca remembered what he said. Yes, her clothes were in the villa.
*Alright. If Shanks asks about me, just tell him I went to the villa to grab my clothes." Luca felt a little awkward asking Gerald to buy her clothes.
After all, there were some personal items that were not appropriate for him to buy.
When Luca was about to leave, she asked, "Do you have a car here?"
*We have a few shared ones," answered Gerald. "The keys are behind the entryway."
Luca found a set of car keys behind the entryway. It took her about an hour to take a shower and change her clothes at the villa before returning. By now, it was almost 8:00 am.
Luca walked into the kitchen to find that the breakfast Gerald had made had already been finished by the men. With no other option, Luca made herself some plain buttered pasta. As she placed the pasta on the table,
everyone in the room stared at her.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
She shot them a glare.
The men quickly shifted their gazes, focusing back on their breakfast.
Luca let out a cold snort, making it clear that she was not someone to be messed with. If they had any other bad intentions, they would not get off easy.
The men felt frustrated, wishing they could challenge Luca.
However, when they remembered what had happened to their pal the previous night, they all shuddered and immediately lost any such thoughts.
With her formidable strength, Luca taught the men a hard-earned lesson in respecting women. Sometimes, women were much stronger than they had imagined. By the time they finished breakfast, Shanks came downstairs.
*Good morning, Mr. Shanks," everyone greeted him.
Shanks nodded. His gaze landed on Luca.
Luca was calmly eating her pasta, completely unbothered by the men around her. The events of the previous night did not affect her at all.
Shanks expression darkened for a moment.
Gerald stood up and brought the last portion of breakfast to Shanks. "Mr. Shanks, your breakfast."
"Thank you." Shanks nodded and sat down next to Luca, starting his breakfast.
Gerald wiped his hands awkwardly and explained to Luca, "Ms. Craw, I didn't know if you wanted breakfast, so I didn't prepare anything for you. But if you have the habit of having breakfast, I'll make sure to prepare your share tomorrow."
"That's unnecessary." Luca's expression was indifferent. When she looked at the food everyone was eating, she had no appetite. She did not need to try it to know how bland it must taste.
Back on the Island of Despair, she never had a problem eating whatever was available.
Even if the food was unappetizing, as long as it provided energy, she could eat it.
However, since she came back and started spending time with Luke, she had become more particular about food.
"I'll make it myself," said Luca.
She definitely wanted breakfast, and since she could not stomach Gerald's cooking, she would make her own.
Shanks spoke up calmly, "Make an extra portion."
Luca nodded. "Okay."
Even though she did not follow all the formalities with Shanks, he had taught her a lot about medicine and pharmaceutical theory. That was why Luca was willing to make him breakfast.
As for the other people in the house, Luca had no intention of making breakfast for them.
When they looked at her, she returned their gaze with a sharp stare. Their hope of having her make breakfast for them vanished instantly. After all, Gerald's cooking was not exactly impressive.
They could not go out all the time now, and since they were also lazy, Gerald's breakfast was better than nothing for them.
After breakfast, Luca sent a message to Luke, letting him know she was safe and that she had gone to the villa to grab some clothes.
Luke quickly replied, telling her to just let him know if she was missing anything and he would have Gale prepare it and leave it at the villa for her to pick up when she was ready.
Luca replied: [Okay.]
Then, she heard someone say, "The people for the clinical trial have arrived."
She quickly informed Luke that she was going to be carrying out the trial and put her phone in her pocket before walking out.
Luca did not know where Shanks found the volunteer, but she was pretty sure it was not through official channels. She sized up the volunteer. The volunteer had injured both of their eyes, and the injury looked very similar to
Kassy's.
Luca was not entirely sure about it.
Kassy's incident happened so long ago that she had forgotten the exact nature of the injuries.
Luca passed out after the incident and had no idea how severe Kassy's injuries ended up being.
All she knew was that Kassy's eyes were injured and her leg was broken. She heard that her kneecap shattered, and with modern medicine, the only way to treat it would be through a knee replacement.
However, the nerves could never heal.
What Shanks was trying to do now was to restore Kassy's nerve function and perform eyeball transplant surgery.
These were things modern medicine could not achieve.
However, the drugs Shanks was researching seemed to make this possible.
When Luca saw the volunteer, she could not help but feel a sense of hope.
If Shanks' research succeeded, and the drug was brought to market, it could help so many people.
