Chapter 3371 He's Certain He Can Help Her Restore Them

Shanks furrowed his brows. He knew Abel would snap, but he did not expect him to go this far

He grabbed Luca and pulled her behind him. "Abel, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Luca touched her quickly swelling face. A flash of hatred crossed her mind, but she was also worried about Luke. If Luke found out that Abel hurt her, he would definitely lose it. She had to keep everything under control for the sake of her child.

With that thought, Luca took a step back, exposing half of her swollen face to look at Abel.

Abel was furious at the sight. "She's useless, and that's why the experiment is going so slowly. What's wrong with me giving her a slap?

Shanks' face turned livid at his crazy words. "This experiment is mine. If you have an issue with it, take it up with me. There's no reason to take it out on her. I'll do what you want and Increase the dosage. But if this volunteer dies, you'll have a hell of a time finding another one for the clinical trials. Abel, is this really how you want to handle it? Is this going to help Kassy?"

His words hit Abel like a bucket of gasoline being poured over him. It only fueled his anger. He wanted to smash something, but he could not touch anything on the table because it all had to do with Kassy's life!

"Shanks, you're really something!" Abel pointed a finger at Shanks and scolded him. "I've given you so much money and so many resources. Now, when I ask you to speed up the clinical trials, you have a problem with it. Fine, are you really going to protect this woman to the end?"

Shanks eyes flashed with impatience. This had nothing to do with Luca.

The experiment was going smoothly, but clinical trials required small adjustments to the doses to get the best results. Abel, however, lacked the patience for that. Shanks was starting to regret agreeing to help him save Kassy.

Someone like Abel should never be allowed near the ones he loved. His unpredictable nature was too dangerous.

If Shanks were not so invested in the research, he would never have thought about helping Kassy in the first place.

"This is about the clinical trial. Are you sure you want me to increase the dosage, not caring about the volunteer's life, just to get accurate data?" Shanks asked in a grim tone. "And let me remind you, if we do that, there's a high chance we won't get the right data. If this volunteer dies, it'll be nearly impossible to find another one.

"If that happens, I'll have no choice but to experiment on Kassy. This will be my first time doing an eye transplant, and there's no successful case of this treatment anywhere in the world. If you can handle those risks, I'll increase the dosage by several times in tonight's injection."

Abel's eyes widened with fury. He could not handle that kind of outcome. Shanks' words hit

him hard, almost choking him with the reality of things.

At the thought of Kassy, Abel felt defeated for a moment before storming out and slamming the door behind him.

Luca did not know why, but she felt a sense of relief.

Shanks turned to look at her.

One side of her face was badly swollen, and the sight was painfully obvious.

"He slapped you. Why didn't you move?" asked Shanks.

Luca replied helplessly, "I didn't expect him to make a move."

Luca really had not thought he would go that far. She assumed that if Abel was angry, he would throw something instead.

"He needed to vent his anger. The things in this room are all tied to Kassy's life. He's too afraid to break anything, and he can't touch me, so, of course, he'd end up hitting you," said Shanks.

Luca pursed her lips.

She had always been at the bottom rank on the Island of Despair even though she knew medicine and pharmaceuticals. It was not as glamorous as Gerald might have thought.

She was Luke's wife. Abel only saw her as a pawn, something to be discarded eventually. Hence, her time on the Island of Despair was not easy.

Moreover, the organization already had Shanks, someone Abel could not touch. He would never allow anyone else to be untouchable.

Luca rubbed her face, feeling a sharp pain.

"Is your ear okay?" Shanks opened the fridge and pulled out an ice pack.

Luce shook her head. "My brain went blank at first, but my ear is fine. I don't hear any ringing now. My teeth are fine too. It's just that my face is swollen."

Shanks handed her the ice pack. "Put this on."

Luca took it, feeling the cold bite spread from her hand through her whole body. The lab was already colder than other places, but she felt even more chilly now.

She felt a surge of frustration and suddenly remembered how Luke had carefully taken care of her. If only there were no Island of Despair. Then, she could have stayed by his side and safely given birth to Nyla back then. They would have witnessed the birth of a new life

together.

He would care for her every day, and they would be in love. Her appearance would not have changed because of everything.

Luca's eyes reddened at the thought of this.

"Why are your eyes red?" Shanks slightly furrowed his brows.

Luca shook her head and explained. "The ice pack is really cold."

"Bear with it," replied Shanks. There was no clean towel here, so she would have to endure it. "Okay." Luca thought to herself that none of this would have happened if the organization did not exist.

Luca had always felt a regret in her heart. She and Luke had four children, but none of them were born under the protection of both parents.

If Luke had not gotten involved with the Island of Despair, danger would not have come for them. Tommy and Nyla could have been bom and grown up with the love and protection of their parents.

It was so unfortunate...

Luca thought of Luke again, then she suddenly turned to Shanks. "Mr. Shanks, do you have any medication for swelling?"

Shanks frowned. "This kind of injury will heal in a few days. If you're in pain, I can give you some painkillers."

Luca shook her head. "It'll affect my appearance too much. I want something to reduce the swelling."

"It'll make you sleepy and lose your appetite. Are you sure?" asked Shanks. "I need an assistant in top form to work with me. If you can't handle it, I won't be able to protect you in front of Abel next time."

"I'm sure," answered Luca. "I need medication for swelling."

Although his medicine had side effects, it worked well, and that was its advantage.

What worried Luca now was that if Luke saw her swollen face, he might clash with Abel.

Therefore, any reduction in swelling would help.

Shanks opened a secure cabinet containing medicine, took out the anti-swelling oral medication, and handed it to her. "Take it."C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Luca was not one to be fussy. She took it and swallowed it straight away, though it was a bit uncomfortable without any water.

Shanks asked again, "Do you need painkillers?"

"Yes," Luca answered without hesitation.

Shanks handed her the painkillers.

After taking the medicine, they both returned to their tasks.

After leaving the lab, Abel rushed to the room where the volunteer was. He saw that the volunteer's eye had ruptured, causing blindness, and he could not help but think of Kassy.

Her legs were broken and she was blind. Worse of all, she was imprisoned.

Those beautiful eyes of hers... He was certain he could help her restore them!

With that thought in mind, Abel left.

The volunteer felt an eerie chill. Even though he could not see, he knew someone had entered. Only after hearing the person leave did he finally let out a sigh of relief.
