Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1184

Luca heard the wretched screams from the clip. She took off the earbuds and frowned hard.

"What's wrong?" Amur asked her out of concern.

"Abel is in A City," Luca said. She could tell that it was the impostor Bianca's voice.

Abel must have been in town because he knew about the scandal.

Luca was quite surprised, but at the same time, she also felt slightly uneasy. She was worried about Abel's presence in the city, and she had the impulse to inform Luke about it.

"He's here?" Amur was surprised too. "Is he here to deal with the scandal?"

"There should be something else," Luca guessed. She noticed a vacant cab and flagged it down.

The cab stopped in front of them.

Luca opened the car door and handed a bag to Amur. "I'll have to return to the company. You should go home first."

"Yes." Amur nodded and went into the cab.

Luca flagged down another cab and returned to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

She was occupied with her experiments until the evening, and she only relaxed after she prepared to go off work.

"It's already so late!" Luca looked around the empty laboratory and said to Rhett next to her.

Rhett glanced at his wristwatch. "It's half an hour past office hours."

"I didn't notice the time…" Luca was too engrossed in her experiment. She tidied up her documents and said, "You can go now."

Rhett said, "Let me help you pack up."

Luca glanced at the documents scattered all over the table. She did not stop him from helping him, and they packed up the documents together.

She held the stack of documents in her hands and asked him, "Did Mr. Crawford come over today?"

"He didn't. Is there anything?" Rhett asked.

"No. You can leave now." Luca shook her head and returned to her office.

"Alright." Rhett nodded and left.

After keeping the documents in the safe, she left the building through the side entrance in the parking lot. She glanced at the main entrance and noticed that the reporters were all gone.

Did they leave because it was already past office hours?

Luca shook her head and flagged down a cab.

She stopped by the supermarket to buy some ingredients before returning to the apartment. Amur had just been discharged, and she would rather cook for him than get delivery food.

Even though the wounds were not life-threatening anymore, he would still need the nutrition.

With a shopping bag in her hand, she pushed the door of the apartment open and smelled cigar smoke.

There was something harsh and bitter in the smoke. She remained calm as she put the shopping bag down, took two steps, and saw Abel sitting on the couch.

"You're here." Unlike other people, Luca did not greet him as "Boss." To her, Abel was an enemy who had ripped her away from her family and threatened her to do his bidding.
