Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1242

Luke's expression remained the same when Queenie mentioned Luca. "We'll see after we get the test report."

"But Bea isn't…" Queenie sighed. She knew that she would be bothering Luca by asking her about it, and Luca had made it known that she wanted to remain anonymous.

"Let's listen to Luke on this," Jack said. "Bea might only be down with the common cold. It's probably nothing too serious."

Queenie nodded slightly, though she seemed just as worried as earlier.

After being ill for so long, words of comfort no longer held any meaning for her. Even though she was recovering day by day, her outlook remained pessimistic.

An hour later, Dr. Blake and a nurse came into the room. They brought the apparatus for taking blood with them.

"Mr. Crawford, We'll be taking a blood sample from Mrs. Crawford now," Dr. Blake said. Usually, he would not have to take a blood sample himself, but he did not want to offend the other party.

"Mm." Luke nodded and stood by the bed.

The nurse sterilized a patch of Bianca's skin and extracted two vials of blood from Bianca.

Bianca was still unconscious because of the fever, so she did not feel the needle at all.

After the blood samples were taken, Dr. Blake said, "Send the samples to the lab now. Tell them that I want a report as soon as possible."

"Yes, Dr. Blake." The nurse left with the blood samples immediately.

Dr. Blake turned to talk to Luke. "Don't worry, the report should be done in about two hours. We'll find out the reason why Mrs. Crawford is having a fever."

"Mm." Luke glanced at Bianca on the bed. Her body temperature only went down by one degree after the nurse and caretaker wiped her with rubbing alcohol for one hour. Things were not looking good for her.

Even though he was not knowledgeable in medicine, he could tell that the medication had no effect on her so far.

Queenie asked out of concern, "Doctor, didn't you give her an injection earlier? Why isn't her condition improving?"

"Mrs. Crawford had been taking regular medication over the last few days, and she was recovering just fine. We don't know why the medication didn't work until we have the results from the blood test," Dr. Blake said. He dared not make any wild guesses without the report.

Queenie nodded when she heard that.

Luke sat on the couch and sent Johann a message. [When are you coming back?]

Soon, Johann sent his reply. [I'll only be back in another week. I've heard about Sis's condition from Dr. Blake. Don't worry, we'll see what the blood test tells us.]

Even though he was away in another city, he knew what was going on in the hospital.

When Bianca refused the blood test earlier, Dr. Blake had complained to him about it.

Luke put away his phone after reading Johann's reply, though Johann sent him another message soon after. [I'm just wondering why Sis didn't want her blood sample taken.]

Luke frowned. Ever since Bianca lost her memories, he had never heard of Bianca passing out at the sight of blood.

Queenie noticed the expression on Luke's face. "You should go back and rest, Luke. We can take care of Bea. You still have to work tomorrow, so don't tire yourself."

"I'm fine." Luke placed the phone back in his pocket.

He had been wondering why Bianca refused the blood test even before Johann asked him.
