Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1049

Eler saw that Bianca had woken up. She took out a thermometer and stuffed it under her armpit.

Bianca opened her mouth and noticed her mouth was no longer stuffed with anything. She tilted her head only to see an unfamiliar Western-looking face. She then asked weakly, "Where is this place?"

"I can't tell you that." Eler shook her head, her blue eyes glinting with terror. She was not born and raised here but brought captive to this place.

Bianca glanced at the surroundings and noticed she was still locked up in a room with only a door and no window.

She wanted to sit up, but when she supported herself on the bed, her body felt weak and she quickly fell onto the bed.

Eler quickly discarded the towel that was drenched in alcohol aside and came over to check whether Bianca was injured. "Are you alright?"

Bianca ignored her and insisted on sitting up.

Eler came over to help her up. "Miss, you're still having a fever. Please refrain from moving about."

Bianca looked at the young lady and saw her crystal clear eyes. She did not seem like someone from the Island of Despair. She grabbed Eler's hand. "Please help me, I want to escape from this place."

Eler was caught by surprise by Bianca’s words. She looked at the entrance and after ensuring there was no one coming in, she shook her head and said, "Miss, it's fruitless even if you can escape from this place. We’re on an island surrounded by the ocean and there are no boats or airplanes. You won't be able to escape."

Bianca was thrown into despair and glanced hard at the wall.

Eler was very familiar with such an expression. She had seen many captives. Whenever they were being tortured, they would often reveal such an expression and then think of all methods to end their lives. She immediately hugged Bianca. "Miss, please don't do anything silly. Even if you're not thinking about yourself, at the very least, think about the future of the child in your womb."

Bianca was stunned, feeling as though a storm had overtaken a sunny day. She turned around stiffly. She glanced at the young lady who was hugging her. "What did you just say?"

"That's what Dr. Shanks said. You're pregnant," said Eler.

Bianca's tears came streaming down. She lowered her head and looked at her flat stomach. "How is this possible…"

"Dr. Shanks said it himself. There won't be any mistakes." Eler thought that Bianca would not be so cruel to the point she would even harm her child. She let go of her hand and put on a serious look. "Miss, you must think positively."

Abel said that she would be in grave danger if anything were to happen to Bianca. Hence, she was keeping a close eye on Bianca.

Bianca just lay flat on the bed as her mind went blank. 'Why did I get pregnant at this time?'

Eler could not bring herself to see Bianca like this. She held Bianca's hand and placed it on her stomach, saying, "There's a new life here. So, please don't think negatively, Miss."

"I need some space." Bianca clenched her fists and shut her eyes, not willing to say another word.

Eler dared not say another line when she saw her looking so dispirited. She then said softly, "Alright. I'll help you take your body temperature again."

Bianca allowed her to pick up the thermometer and stuff it under her armpit.

Eler waited for a moment and took out the thermometer once again. She looked at it, and it was 38 degrees Celsius, which meant she was still having a fever.

She picked up the towel drenched with alcohol and inched closer to Bianca, saying, "Miss, you're still having a fever. Allow me to wipe you with this towel."

Bianca did not respond.

Eler gently wiped Bianca's body. She used alcohol to reduce her body temperature.

After half an hour, Bianca's body temperature dropped to 37 degrees Celsius. Eler glanced at the thermometer again and let out a breath of relief. She whispered into Bianca’s ear, "Miss, please get some rest."

Bianca was still not giving any response.

Eler took the thermometer and walked out of the room, looking for Abel.

She saw the man sitting on the sofa and smoking a cigar. Terror started surging from within her. 'This is the man who destroyed my family and made all my relatives and friends become fugitives.'

Eler resented him but was scared at the same time.
