Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1053

The mercenary aside was fast to react and immediately caught hold of Bianca. He shook her, only to realize that she had passed out.

"Miss!" Eler was so scared that she had broken out in a cold sweat. She quickly moved forward to check on Bianca. Fortunately, Bianca did not hit her head after falling.

Abel turned around and saw Bianca, who had passed out. He frowned and lectured them, "Why are you still daydreaming here? Hurry and carry her back."

"Yes, Boss." The mercenary quickly carried Bianca and walked out at a fast pace.

Eler trailed behind the mercenary and softly reminded him, "Please be a little more gentle, don't hurt the miss."

Abel snorted. He had thought highly of Bianca but never expected her to pass out after a small fright.

He walked to Shanks' research lab and was leaning against the side of the door. The smell of medication came from inside the lab. He despised this smell and did not step a foot into the lab.

"What's wrong?" Shanks was researching a new drug and did not lift his head as he asked. His attitude was still cold.

"Bianca passed out just now," said Abel, who was already used to this man’s coldness. Apart from that woman, no one was able to make him show a sincere smile.

Shanks poured a liquid into a test tube and gently shook it while observing the color changes. "What did you do to her?"

"It’s just a little violence." Abel shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't know she wouldn’t be able to take it."

"She's a pregnant woman." Shanks twisted the cap onto the test tube to prevent the liquid from reacting with the air and oxidizing. Then, he got up and walked toward the room where Bianca was being confined.

Abel followed from behind, disagreeing with Shanks’ words earlier. Bianca was a pregnant woman but he could not look at her that way. He said in a deep voice, "She's just a woman who doesn't know her position here. Just don't let her die, that's all."

After speaking, he spun around to leave. He had wasted too much time on Bianca today and had yet to inspect the progress of his military force that was currently undergoing training.

Shanks' footsteps came to a halt. He spun around to look at Abel before heading into the room.

Eler saw Shanks walking in and immediately pleaded for help. "Mr. Shanks, please save the miss."

Shanks did not promise her and just looked at the woman in the bed. He took her pulse and noticed that her pulse was stable. She had just passed out, and her life was not in danger.”

"Has she eaten?" Shanks asked while examining Bianca's chin.

One glance and he knew that the bruise on her chin was a result of Abel’s violent act. Fortunately, there was no bone fracture and everything was still in one piece.

"It's been a day since she last ate," said Eler helplessly. No matter how much she advised Bianca, she constantly refused to eat and kept acting as though she would go on a hunger strike.

"Follow me." Shanks turned around to leave. She would not die for now, so he did not need to do anything major.

Eler quickly caught up to him.

Shanks prescribed some supplements to Bianca and passed them to Eler. "Let her have them once she's awake."

Eler took them with much gratitude. Then, she said again, "Mr. Shanks, how about her chin?"

"She won't die because of that. It’ll heal itself after a few days." Shanks sat on the chair and continued researching drugs.

Eler was relieved. Seeing him doing his research seriously made her heart start beating fast. On this island, apart from those in captivity, Shanks was the only one who never took anyone's life away.

On usual days, he would always be in his laboratory where he conducted his medical research. He was unbothered about the issues happening outside.

"Thank you, Mr. Shanks." Eler was blushing, and she could not help but express her gratitude.
