Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1217

Luca did not expect the matter to blow up when she decided to mail the package to Queenie.

She had expected the Normans to keep the matter under wraps, even if Queenie had to go to the hospital for a checkup. Naturally, she had forgotten about Luke's involvement.

Luke's status meant that his mere presence would cause drama. Luca knew that all the reporters would want to pin a camera on him if they could.

His frequent appearances in the hospital gained attention. When Queenie's report was released, the media outlets reported on it.

The reporters continued to find information about her toxicology test and the reasons behind her poisoning. Naturally, they also found out about the antidote in the mysterious package.

The development of the matter had exceeded Luca's expectations, and she was not sure how to deal with it.

Luke turned around and looked coldly at her.

Luca lowered her head and did not meet his gaze.

Luke opened the door and left.

The moment the door closed, Luca fell on the bed and gasped for air.

Even though she had taken the antidote, the effects of the drug were very taxing to the body. She was completely spent after confronting Luke for that long, and she would have collapsed out of exhaustion if the confrontation continued.

She continued to lie on the bed, even though her hair was still wet. She had to sleep now to regain her energy.

Meanwhile, Abel received a voice message from the deputy president, saying that Luke had already left the hotel room without anyone following him.

"Too bad he doesn't appreciate the chance I've given him." Abel chuckled. He had expected Luke to stay the night.

The impostor Bianca had told him that Luke had never touched her in bed after all these years. In fact, they had never even slept in the same bed.

Perhaps Luke was smart enough to guess that Bianca was an impostor, or maybe he might have sensed the differences between the real and the impostor Biancas.

Now that Abel had arranged for the real Bianca to be in the same room as him, he did not appreciate the opportunity.

Hera was leaning onto Abel's chest. She heard the message too. Realizing that Luke was not in the room for too long, she wondered if Luke had any carnal relations with the woman in the room.

"Mr. Abel, do you think that Luke took the bait?" She asked curiously.

"Who knows?" Abel smiled lazily and lit a cigar. "I don't suppose Luke could have kept it to himself. Don't you think so?"

He knew that once the drug took effect, no woman would be able to remain rational. Luca would not have been able to resist it, no matter how much she wanted to stay away from Luke.

Abel hugged Hera tightly and exhaled a smoke ring. His plan might have been perfect, but he did not expect that Luca had brought the antidote with her.

She managed to cure herself with the antidote, and Luke had managed to resist her charms.

…

In Crawford Manor, after Bianca ended the call with Luke, she took out a metal box from the bottom drawer of the dresser. There was an intricate lock on it.

She unlocked the box and took out a pill.

The pill was given to her by someone from the island. They told her that she could take the pill as a last resort if she did not manage to win Luke's affection.

The pill would cause her to develop the symptoms of the flu, and there was no cure for it.
