Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1244

Carnival Day was an event at Tommy's kindergarten that encouraged the students' parents to join in.

However, Bianca was horribly ill, and Luke did not look like he was free either.

"I'll go," Luke said. He had promised Tommy that he would be joining him during Carnival Day. "Dad, Mom, the caretaker can take care of Bianca. I'll send the two of you home."

Thinking that his in-laws did not sleep, he was not going to let them drive home themselves.

"I should stay in the hospital to take care of Bea." Queenie shook her head, not relieved that Bianca's condition had not gotten better yet.

Jack also said, "Right. We should stay here. You should go to Tommy's school, Luke."

Luke did not insist on sending them home. When the morning shift caretaker came into the room, Luke gave her some orders before he left the hospital.

The driver must have sent Tommy to his kindergarten, so he drove there directly.

The event was about to begin when Luke arrived. The teachers waiting at the front gate were surprised when they saw Luke arrive. They went up to him and greeted him with a smile. "Welcome to Carnival Day, Mr. Crawford. This way, please."

Luke nodded and followed the teacher inside.

All the students in the kindergarten came from wealthy families. As Luke walked past the crowd, he noticed that most of the adults there were not the parents of the children.

Judging from their clothes, Luke could tell that they were caretakers of the children. There were very few parents at the event.

Tommy noticed Luke from afar. He scampered toward Luke and hugged his thigh. "You're here, Daddy! I almost thought that you weren't coming."

Tommy was truly surprised. When he woke up earlier that morning, he found out that his father had gone to the hospital. Luke was not back home by the time Tommy finished his breakfast, and the boy had thought that he would be at the event by himself.

"I've promised you that I'll come." Luke took Tommy's hand. "Where's your stall?"

Luke had been playing the role of both parents to the children ever since Bianca was abducted. Even though he was reunited with the impostor Bianca, the children did not receive much motherly love from her.

He did not spend much time with them, but it did not mean that he neglected them.

"Over there!" Tommy pointed at his stall. Sean had helped him decorate it, while the cook at home had prepared the food.

"Let's go." Luke nodded and led his son there.

The teachers were envious when they saw that. "That's rare."

"What's rare?" The kindergarten principal happened to overhear that.

The teacher pointed at Tommy's stall. "Ma'am, most of the children here come with their caretakers instead of their parents. It's rare that someone as busy as Mr. Crawford would spend his time here with his child. I can tell that he really loves his son."

The teacher had been working in the kindergarten for several years. Many parents said that they loved their children, but not many put their words into action.

During Carnival Day or parent-teacher conferences, she would usually the children coming to the kindergarten with their caretakers or their grandparents. Whenever she asked them where their parents were, the answers were usually the same -- they were busy at work or on a business trip.

"That's Mr. Crawford's youngest son. Mrs. Crawford had given birth to the child when everyone thought that Mr. Crawford had died overseas. It was a terrible ordeal for the family, and Mr. Crawford adores the child very much." The kindergarten principal was an A City local, so she remembered what happened five years ago.

"No wonder. Tommy is so lucky," the teacher said.

The principal shook her head and said, "Alright, let's get ready. The carnival is about to start."
