Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1188

Bianca remained uneasy. She gently tugged Luke's shirt sleeve and said, "I know that I'm at fault, Luke. I can explain."

Luke pulled his arm away and said, "I've already dealt with the aftermath. You'd better not contact that reporter again."

"Yes." Bianca suddenly had the urge to grab onto something, but Luke had already left.

He did not ask her why she had contacted the reporter or why someone was harboring the reporter. It was as though the incident was not related to her at all.

Even so, Bianca could clearly feel that Luke's attitude toward her had become more distant.

She knew that if she listened to what he said and did nothing, Luke would only grow more distant from her.

She closed the door, took off her clothes, and looked at her back in the mirror. After one night, her wounds were already healing, even though it was still quite painful.

Using a cotton swab, she slowly applied the medication to her wounds. After that, she changed into a fresh set of clothes and went downstairs to find that Luke and the children had already left.

"Good morning, Madam. Do you want breakfast?" The butler was quite surprised to see Bianca rise so early.

"Mm." She nodded and sat down at the dining table.

After breakfast, Bianca left Crawford Manor in her car.

Old Master Crawford sat in the living room and listened to the butler read the reporter's announcement to him.

His elderly gaze narrowed after the butler finished reading. "Did the announcement say who was the mastermind behind the scandal?"

The butler shook his head. "I don't think so. It seems like the reporter took great pains not to mention the identity of the mastermind."

"I wonder if Luke has become soft?" Old Master Crawford might be asking a question, but the accusatory implications were clear.

The butler was silent. Luke told him that he had dealt with the incident, but he did not explain much about what he did, and the announcement did not mention anything about the mastermind.

Was Luke trying to harbor the mastermind?

Old Master Crawford chuckled. There was a hint of lucidity in his laughter, as though he knew what was going on. "Did Bianca leave?"

"Yes. Madam left after breakfast." The butler put the tablet away and massaged Old Master Crawford's shoulders.

Old Master Crawford narrowed his gaze. "Did she say where she was going?"

"She didn't." The butler shook his head. He was only a worker in the household, and he had no right to ask his employer about their whereabouts.

Old Master Crawford saw that the kettle was boiling on the portable stove. He raised his hand, and the butler stopped massaging him.

The elderly man leaned forward and poured the boiling water into the teapot. In a few seconds, the invigorating fragrance of the tea filled the entire living room.

He poured a cup of tea and continued, "I've heard that Queenie has been poisoned, and that's why her health has been poor."

It was hard to keep secrets in the upper circles of society. Even if Luke did not tell him about Queenie, he somehow knew about it.

"Yes. Allegedly, her adopted daughter was the one who had poisoned her," the butler replied.
