Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1066

"Bea is one of us. You'll have to bring her back no matter what," Old Master Crawford said as he looked at the children who were playing in the garden. They might seem happy, but the old man could tell that they were worried.

The children were still young, and they needed a mother for their upbringing. Luke was not the kind of man who would marry another woman just for their children. He was not going to love another woman other than Bianca.

Luke looked at the sun that was setting beyond the mountains. Summer was coming to an end.

Bianca had said that summer was her favorite season.

"I will bring her back," Luke said. He had said the same sentence to many people, and he had sounded confident every time he said that.

He was not afraid of any danger. Bianca was everything to him.

Old Master Crawford patted his shoulder and said, "I've heard that Old Master Rayne's health is declining. I know that you're busy searching for Bianca, but don't forget to show some concern to the old man too."

Now that Bianca was missing, it was up to Luke to take care of Old Master Rayne.

"Mm." He nodded. As he looked at the playing children, his gaze dimmed with an undetectable hint of sadness.

…

The next two months passed in the blink of an eye. Bianca's stomach was growing. It was not very obvious, but one could see that she was pregnant.

Shanks put the apparatus down and said impassively, "The baby is stable."

Bianca touched her stomach. Life in the past two months had been tough for Bianca. Despite her pregnancy, Abel had insisted that she participate in various training sessions. They were not too physically intensive, but Bianca had never done it before, so she found it quite difficult.

However, she persisted. The baby in her womb had persisted too.

"You still have to eat those." Shanks stood up and pointed at the supplements on the table.

He did not make those supplements. Instead, he had left the island and bought them on the mainland.

It had been two months, but various forces were discreetly observing the island. One had to leave the island from the opposite side so no one would notice them.

The island was still in the process of rebuilding. If those forces or the government noticed that, they would certainly bring trouble.

"Mm." Bianca nodded slightly and touched her stomach. Eler had taken good care of her for the past two months, and she did not skip a meal or miss out on her supplements.

Shanks turned around and left the room.

In the past two months, Shanks had rarely communicated with her, other than dressing her wounds.

Bianca did not attempt to suck up to him like what other people did, nor did he find any joy in tormenting Bianca, as Abel did.

Eler came in with breakfast. Seeing that Bianca was done with her examination, she placed the tray on the table and said, "Please eat your breakfast, Miss."

Bianca looked at the steaming hot meal. Her stomach was empty, but she did not feel any discomfort. "I'm not hungry, Eler."

"You should eat some. You'll have archery class later, so you should take this time to eat. That'll be better for your stomach," Eler said. Abel had designed a series of courses for Bianca. Even though archery was not very physically intensive, it would not be good for her body if she ate later and had to exercise on a full stomach.

Bianca felt a pang of despair when she heard that. She looked at her hand; her fingers were already callused from wielding a bow. She got out of bed, sat on the chair, and slowly ate her breakfast.
