Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1039

The nurse deftly administered the shot and comforted Leia. "It'll hurt a little later on. You should close your eyes and rest for five minutes."

Leia slowly closed her eyes.

The nurse turned around and spoke to Jack, "Let me dress your wound, Mr. Norman."

"Thank you," Jack said as he lifted his injured arm.

Five minutes later, the tranquilizer took effect, and Leia fell silent.

Queenie covered her with the blanket, went to Jack's side, and gently touched his hand. "Does it hurt?"

"It's fine." Jack shook his head. After sterilizing the wound, the nurse carefully wrapped it with gauze. It did not hurt even if he pressed it.

Queenie sighed. Her eyes were puffed up. "You've been a stern father since Leia was small, but you've never punished her. Leia respects you a lot, but now, she bit you…"

"That's enough." Jack glanced at Leia. The tranquilizer had taken effect, and Leia was incapacitated for now. He told Queenie, "Take care of Leia. I'll go and look for Luke."

"Alright." Queenie nodded. Her unease grew whenever she thought of Bianca.

Luke was in Sean's ward.

Sean had already woken up from the anesthesia. He and a few police officers were making the facial composite. His testimony was the most important because he was the only one who had seen the mastermind of the operation.

"This is it, Officer," Sean said. He could use his left hand as well as his right.

The police officer handed the facial composite to Luke.

His face turned ashen when he saw the face. He turned around and said to Ripley, "Do whatever it takes to find this person."

"Yes, Boss." Ripley took a photo of the facial composite with his phone.

Luke continued to hear Sean give his statement to the police. According to Sean, the culprits were there for Bianca, and they wanted to kill her.

After recording the statement, the police said, "Don't worry, Mr. Crawford. We'll do our best to solve this case. We'll be sending the facial composite back to the police station and issuing a citywide bounty for this man. We'll also guard every exit point so that he can't run away."

Luke remained impassive after hearing all that.

The police would not be able to arrest a criminal of that level, just like the police were not able to do anything to the Island of Despair.

Luke headed out of the ward.

Sean stopped him. "Sorry, Boss. I didn't manage to protect Madam."

He would have gotten on his knees if not that he was confined to the bed after the operation. Luke had hired him to take care of Bianca, but he had failed to do that.

"You didn't," Luke said and left the ward.

Johann was coming over. When he saw Luke, he said, "I've already fixed your subordinate's hand. Fortunately, only the bones are broken, and the nerves are undamaged. His hand will be as good as new after the bones heal."

"Mm." Luke remained cold and distant.

Johann was puzzled. "What's going on with you? He's still alive, but you act as though he's dead."
