Chapter 517: Idea

Monica relaxed her grip on Khan's arm when she read the caller's name. Khan reacted accordingly, slipping out of her hug to hold the phone with both hands. They knew that timing wasn't a coincidence, and Luke could even help a lot in their situation.

"I need to take this," Khan announced. "Excuse me."

Monica performed a reassuring nod when Khan looked at her. She even moved to the center of the couch when he stood up. With her in charge, the meeting was in good hands, so Khan limped out of the hall to attend to the call.

"Luke!" Khan answered the call when he entered the privacy of a bedroom. "I don't know if this is good or bad timing."

"I hope perfect timing," Luke responded, conveying pure friendliness. "It's been a while."

"I do try to reply to every message," Khan stated. "Things have just been messy lately."

"I'm well aware," Luke exclaimed. "Not a week goes by without receiving news about you."
