Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1050

Bianca widened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.

Eler looked at the blank stare in her eyes and pitied her. She conveyed Shanks' instructions, "This is what Dr. Shanks specifically prescribed for you and it's very good for restoring your energy. You were sailing across the ocean for so many days and your body is very weak now. Besides, this tonic can alleviate all the side effects one would have during pregnancy."

Still, Bianca did not move an inch as though she was petrified.

Eler suddenly got down on her knees. "Miss, I'm begging you, please don't torture yourself. Or else, my little brother is going to be in deep trouble…"

She was well aware that if the woman on the bed did not recover, her entire family would be in trouble. She did not mind being killed but her younger brother…

Bianca shifted her eyes. She had heard all the threatening words Abel said to Eler earlier.

"I don’t even have the right to do anything now?” Her comments carried traces of sorrow.

Eler shook her head. "That's not the case, Miss."

"Your little brother is being held captive by Abel?" Bianca asked again. She slowly sat up and looked at the door.

Eler fell to the floor and her eyes became teary as she recalled the nightmare from the past. "Abel captured many of the youths in my village. He's planning to train them to become worthy underlings and my little brother is one of them…"

Her younger brother had a fragile body and was in an environment where he could die at any second. Abel once said that her younger brother would not die if she managed to serve Bianca well enough.

"If this baby is delivered, the child will be under Abel's control as well." After saying this, Bianca could not stop her tears from flowing down.

On one hand, it was her and Luke’s child. On the other hand, her child might be captured by Abel right after she gave birth to them. She was not willing to discard the child, yet did not wish to deliver the baby.

"Miss, you must not give up on the child." Eler kneeled and placed both her hands on the side of the bed. "I’m not saying all this just for my sake. But during this period, it’ll at least help you have peace.”

"I don't wish for peace," said Bianca. What she wanted was to return to Luke's side. If that wish could not be granted, she would rather end her life.

However, just when she was determined to do so, fate did not allow her. It just happened that she was pregnant.

Bianca did not think of herself as a noble mother, but for the sake of Luke and the children, she was willing to give up on everything. As for the child in her womb, it was the fruit of the love between her and Luke.

"On this island, the boss is the scariest being. If you have a child, he won’t do anything to you. You can have peace for the next ten months, Miss. In other words, you can consider yourself lucky."

Eler uttered the words that were kept within her. People like them were just lowly beings in the eyes of Abel. They would consider themselves as lucky for being able to survive another day.

Bianca touched her stomach and asked, "How many months old is the child?"

In the past, she and Luke had taken precautions. She did not expect to still end up pregnant.

Eler answered, "According to what Dr. Shanks said, you're already more than one month along.”

"It’s already been more than one month…" Bianca lowered her head and looked at her stomach. It would be hard to sense it if she was only one month into her pregnancy. As time went by, the baby would grow bigger in her womb and eventually have a heartbeat before slowly developing organs.

The child might perhaps look like her, or maybe they would resemble Luke.

"Give me the tonic." Bianca sighed. Under such circumstances, she had no choice but to keep living.

Eler immediately got up and served the tonic. "Let me feed you."

"I'll drink it myself." Bianca did not want to have Eler feed her. Abel no longer restrained her hands as he knew that Bianca would not seek death so easily upon learning she was pregnant.

Eler nodded and passed the bowl of tonic over. "The tonic is no longer that hot, you should quickly drink it.”
