Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1168

"Okay." Queenie smiled softly, rolled up her sleeves, and reached out her hand to Luca.

Luca's fingers trembled slightly as they rested on Queenie's veins.

Even on a hot day, Queenie's skin was extremely cold. It was clear that her health was weak.

Luca held her breath, checked Queenie’s pulse, and had a rough idea of what was going on.

She motioned Queenie, wanting to take the pulse reading on her other hand.

After Queenie saw that, she reached out her other hand. Seeing how Luca seemed like she knew what she was doing, Queenie was a little excited.

Over the years, Jack and Luke had searched for doctors to treat her but in the end, they only had Johann to count on to take care of her health.

However, Johann had no permanent solution to cure her. All he could do was help Queenie manage the discomfort.

Johann said that her problems could only be managed, not cured.

Since then, no matter which doctor tried to treat her or prescribed her any medicine, she no longer held any hope.

Luca felt something abnormal in Queenie's pulse. She frowned and wanted to dig deeper into the issue.

At that time, the waiter brought three slices of apple pie and placed them in front of them.

Luca retracted her hand and had a rough estimation of what was going on. Her eyebrows were knitted together. She thought that what she had in mind was unlikely.

"Ms. Ivy, what's wrong?" Queenie asked nervously.

Luca shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

"You can just tell me the truth. I know my body. I’ve been sick for so many years and I don't have much hope anymore," Queenie said as she picked up the fork and fiddled with the apple pie.

Jack had ordered her a freshly baked apple pie. She was waiting for it to cool so as to not burn her mouth.

"Mrs. Norman, I have a few questions for you," Luca said. She needed more evidence to confirm her suspicions.

"Go ahead," Queenie said.

"You usually feel cold during the day, but both hot and cold at night. However, the times when you feel hot and the times you feel cold are different. Most of the time, you feel cold, don’t you?” Luca asked.

"Yes.” Queenie nodded, her eyes lighting up. She had only told Johann this and was surprised that Luca could find out about it so quickly.

‘She got this just from checking my pulse?’

"Also, you usually don't have much of an appetite, except for sweet things. If you force yourself not to eat sweets, there would be a bitter taste in your mouth, even when you didn't take any medicine," Luca continued.

"Yes." Queenie nodded again.

"One more thing... Although your body is weak, your basic indicators are all normal—including your blood pressure, blood sugar level, and heart rate," Luca said.

"Yes, you’re right." Queenie's tone was a little excited as she said, "Ms. Ivy, what's wrong with me?"

Earlier on, she refused to believe that there was something wrong with her body because when she went to the hospital for a check-up, everything seemed normal.

Jack had high blood pressure but she did not have those problems!

However, as time went on, her body grew weaker and weaker without any warning. She finally accepted the fact that she was sick.

Jack listened to what Luca said and asked, "Yes, what's wrong with my dear's body?"
