tara Sutter’s POV
thappened to be serving the dishes when Lukas walked back into the house, so I called him to come over “Hey, help me luring the rest of the food over to the table”
“Sure, he replied. There were chairs and a table in the front yard, and the weather was perfect wasn’t too cold or too dry felt calmer as I had my meal outside with the wind blowing against my face. Lokas took his time to head to the cen before he brought the rest of the food our “You shouldn’t go back to the hospital for now. You can hand your workload to others Lukas ordered while we were having our meal.
“Why Aren’t things senled?” I asked. Hot am I going to get my salary if I don’t go to work? How am I apposed to repay Stefen
Lukas stared at me with a puzzled took on his face. “Do you think this is over! Do you know how thugs like them work They re definitely going to cenitinue messing around with you if you go back to work. You can try going to work if you don’t believe me, he replied hy does he make sense? I thought to myself. His toy gans probably scared these men of for a while but I’m sure they re not greng to give up so rainly.
I grumpily stuffed myself with a mouthful of rice. They can do what they want. I don’t have any money, but they can take my life if they want to.”
The corner of Lukas lips twitched in annoyance. You really value money more than your life. huh? How much does that hospital pay you anyway? Well, since you’re my tenant. I’ll handle things for you. In the meantime you can stay home for a day or two. You can wait for two days, right?”
I wanted to tell him that I didn’t want to trouble him, but when I recalled the way he had confronted those men earlier I had
feeling that he’d be able to solve my problems. Then… Thanks. I guess?“.
“Please thank me in a firmer tone” Lukas insisted as he slammed his palm on the table

After that. I went back to sleep and only woke up around noon. I headed out to the garden to look at the flowers for a while, and I realized that Lukas was nowhere to be seen Will he doesn’t need to update me on his hereabouts, amygy.

His movements were still swift and agile despite his disability, and he hurried off in such a rush that I couldn’t see who he was at all. However, when I looked down at the ground.
