Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1231

On the other end, Luke received a text from his subordinates on his way back from Norman Residence.

While he was waiting for the traffic light, he clicked on the text and saw that Luca was in the photo. The photo was taken on that same day. She was dressed exactly the same as early that night.

Luke called Zander and asked, "Did you send Luca back?"

"Mr. Crawford, I sent Ms. Luca back but she got off at an intersection in front of her apartment. She told me that she wanted to get something and asked for me not to wait for her." Zander did not dare to miss any details and told Luke everything that he remembered.

Luke responded, "I see."

After that, he cut off the call.

He glanced at the photo again. ‘Luca lied when she told Zander she wanted to buy something. The truth is that she was going to the Westin Hotel. What was she doing there?’

Luke thought back to the time when Luca told him that he would not be able to find anything when he wanted to dig into the matter.

‘How did she know that I wouldn’t be able to find anything? Luca seems to be hiding a lot of secrets.’

Luke's phone rang and he pressed to answer. The maid said anxiously, "Young Master Luke, Madam is having a high fever again and it reached 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The doctor asked you to come to the hospital immediately."

"I’m on my way."

Luke hung up. When the red light turned to green, he made a U-turn and drove to the hospital.

After he arrived at the ward, it just so happened that Dr. Blake, the head physician of the internal medicine department, was checking on Bianca. When Dr. Blake saw the number on the thermometer, he frowned and said, "Didn't her temperature go down when I left?"

"Yes, Dr. Blake, but the patient's temperature went up again," the nurse said helplessly as she looked at Bianca who was a little groggy from the high fever. She was unsure of why Bianca’s condition was fluctuating.

"Give her the fever-reducing injection and prepare a bottle of saline. Her recurrent high fever will make her dehydrated. She needs to start fasting. We’ll run a blood test tomorrow morning." Dr. Blake made the arrangements for Bianca’s treatment.

"Okay." The nurse nodded and said to the maid, "The patient needs to fast. If she’s thirsty, you can moisten her lips with a cotton swab."

"Okay." The maid took notes. She was dumbfounded at Bianca’s condition after taking care of her in the hospital for the entire day.

‘What's wrong with her…’

Luke walked into the ward and asked, "Why is my wife suffering from recurrent fever?"

Dr. Blake recognized Luke and respectfully said, "Mr. Crawford, we don't know much at the moment but we’ll find out more after the blood test report is out tomorrow.”

Bianca, who lay weakly on the hospital bed, heard his voice and wanted to open her eyes to look at him. Unfortunately, the fever was draining her energy and there was nothing she could do.

Luke looked at how uncomfortable she looked and pursed his thin lips.

"Mr. Crawford, don't worry. We’ll do our best to cure Mrs. Crawford," Dr. Blake said. He was confident that he could heal her.

"Then what are you still doing here?" Luke asked indifferently.

What he needed was not someone who made empty promises but someone who could get things done.

Dr. Blake was stunned. He did not expect Luke to react as such. However, he could not afford to offend him, so he nodded and immediately walked out of the ward to update his treatment plan.
