Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1047

Percy stared at her.

Seeing the sorrow and loneliness in her eyes, his heart trembled, and that made him feel uncomfortable.

"Luke will find her." Percy was surprised that those words came out of his mouth. He was not used to comforting others.

Nina looked at him profoundly. She thought that she had misheard just now.

Before she could react, Percy stood up. "Go to bed."

Nina chuckled wryly when she heard that command. Indeed, she had misheard.

Percy was never going to talk to her like that.

Nina could not disobey him. Even though she was not in the mood to sleep, she stood up, went into the bedroom, and lay by his side.

After she closed her eyes, her other senses became more sensitive. She could not ignore his breathing after being used to living alone. Percy used to want to make out with her very often, but he did not want to sleep with her, so she had some time for herself.

Now, all her private time had been occupied by Percy.

Nina sighed, and her mind wandered to her mother. The diagnosis found that her mother had a tumor in her liver. The doctor suggested removing it.

She gasped when she heard the costs involved in the operation. When she was thinking of how to get the money, Percy told her that he wanted to move in.

The house belonged to him. She had no right to refuse.

Percy heard her irregular breathing and opened his eyes. "Aren't you sleeping yet?"

Nina closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Percy was not deceived by her poor acting. He flipped over, pushed himself up with one arm, and enveloped Nina in his embrace.

Feeling the warm breath from his nose, Nina could not pretend anymore. She opened her eyes and looked at him.

Percy supported himself with one arm while he held her face with his other hand. "Can't sleep?"

"Mm." Nina was flustered. She could tell what Percy wanted whenever he behaved like that.

"Let's not sleep then." Percy lowered his gaze and hugged her.

The night was eerily still. Nina dared not struggle, so she did what she was told.

…

In a daze, Bianca felt the ship bump into something. It shook, then it stopped.

The other mercenary opened the cabin door. "We've arrived. Boss says to bring the woman along."

The mercenary stood up and stretched. "Finally. I've been bored to death."

"Enough nonsense. Otherwise, Boss will be mad at you," the mercenary at the door urged.

Bianca's head spun when she listened to the conversation. She felt uncomfortable, but she could not tell which part of her body caused her discomfort.

The mercenary went to her bed and frowned disgustedly. "You look like a refugee now."

Bianca did not respond to that.

The mercenary grabbed her and prepared to lift her up. He was surprised when he touched her skin. "You're so warm. Do you have a fever?"

The mercenary at the door showed no pity toward Bianca. "Why do you care?" He said.

The mercenary heard that and lifted Bianca up.
