Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1099

"I hate you," Shanks said candidly. He hated Luke Crawford and his family, but that seemed to have changed after he took care of Nyla.

He could not get himself to hate that baby at all, even though the baby carried Luke and Bianca's blood.

"Why would you grant me my wish then?" Bianca asked. Ever since she carried the baby in her arms, she could not hide her true emotions.

"I have no interest in taking care of your baby for you," Shanks said while putting his hands into his pockets. He turned to Eler and said, "She's almost recovered from her stomach flu now, but you'll have to be careful. Also, the baby's necessities are in my lab. Come over and take them away."

After that, he turned around and left.

Bianca felt a complicated mix of emotions as she watched Shanks leave.

If Shanks did not want to take care of the baby, he could have handed it to the kitchen lady or even Abel.

Why would he hand the baby to her?

Bianca was confused.

Eler was delighted. She touched the baby's hand and said, "This is great news, Miss. From now on, you can personally take care of Nyla."

Bianca laughed dryly. "I don't have the time for that."

Her only free time was at night…

Abel would not grant her the luxury of taking care of her baby. Also, she was not willing to sacrifice her training time.

Bianca wanted to leave the Island of Despair, so she wanted to grow strong as soon as possible. Having to take care of the baby would interfere with her plans.

Eler planned to go along with Bianca. As she watched Shanks leave, she said thoughtfully, "I think Mr. Shanks will think of a way to help us."

Bianca chuckled and started to walk back to her room. "He won't help me."

"Mr. Shanks isn't as bad as you think, Miss," Eler said. She had focused her attention on Bianca and her baby, so she did not have the time to process her affection for Shanks. Now that she had calmed down, her face began to blush.

Bianca shook her head. "Bring the stroller here."

Eler went and pushed Nyla's stroller toward the room.

At night, the kitchen lady went to Bianca's room.

"Is there something, Madam?" Eler and Bianca were playing with Nyla.

"Boss says that I'll take care of Ms. Kathryn when you're away at training," the kitchen lady said quite rudely. She thought that Eler had set her up so that Shanks got angry at her.

"Kathryn?" Bianca looked at the baby.

"Yes. Boss gave the baby a name, and it's Kathryn!" The kitchen lady said.

"Mm. I know." Bianca did not expect that Abel would do that. Perhaps Shanks had a part in it.

She was relieved that the kitchen lady would be able to take care of Nyla while she and Eler were away at training.

Eler held Bianca's hands excitedly. "This is good news, Miss. I knew that Mr. Shanks would think of something. We won't have to worry about Nyla while we're away at training."

The kitchen lady glanced at Bianca and Eler coldly before leaving without saying a word. She decided to let go of the grudge against Eler.

Now that she was tasked to take care of the baby again, she could stay away from the tiring and dirty work of the kitchen.

"Mm." Bianca looked at Nyla and gently poked her little nose. "You are not Kathryn. You are Nyla. Nyla Crawford. Understand?"
