Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1246

Luca was in the middle of performing an experiment when her phone began to ring. She was surprised when she saw the familiar string of numbers on her screen, but she did not immediately answer it.

She did not save Luke's number on her phone, but she had memorized those numbers well.

Luca had placed her phone between her and Rhett earlier.

Rhett glanced at the vibrating phone and asked, "Dr. Craw, aren't you answering the call?"

Luca came to her senses. She took the phone and told him, "I'll go and answer the call. Please help me record the data."

"Yes." Rhett nodded.

Luca left the room and answered the call. "Mr. Crawford."

"Are you at the company now, Dr. Craw?" Luke hated to admit that Luca's gentle, wispy, and slightly raspy voice was very alluring.

"Yes," Luca told him candidly.

"Sean is going over to pick you up. He'll be there in fifteen minutes. I'd hate to bother you, but I need you at the hospital," Luke said.

Luca frowned slightly when she heard that. He had rarely used that tone to speak to anyone. "Is there anything, Mr. Crawford?"

Luke was silent for a few seconds. He wanted to say "My wife is ill." but he found it hard to call the woman on the bed his wife.

"We'll talk at the hospital," he said.

"Alright." Luca sighed after ending the call. She had expected something like that would happen after she saved Queenie.

She did not expect that it would happen so soon, and she did not have the right to refuse.

There were not many people that could evoke this level of concern in Luke. Luca wondered who that person was.

Suddenly, she remembered that Tommy had told her that Bianca was ill.

'It must be her, right?' She thought. Only Bianca could make Luke stoop to ask for help from others.

Luca put her phone back into her pocket and headed back to the laboratory.

Rhett was focusing on recording the data from the experiment.

"Make regular observations for the next two hours and record all forms of the virus. Two hours later, deep-freeze the specimens, tabulate the data, and give it to me when I return."

Rhett nodded and remembered what she said. "Are you going somewhere, Dr. Craw?"

"Mm. I need to go to the hospital for a bit." Luca returned to her table and filled up a written request for leave.

Even though her boss was the one who asked her to go to the hospital, she had to go through the regular procedure. She did not want Cole to think that something was going on between her and Luke.

Luca handed in the request after writing it.

Cole approved her leave without asking too many questions.

He did not mind that Luca was stepping away from her work. After all, Luca was a strong competitor in this period. If she had fewer research hours, then he had a higher chance of winning a spot.

After receiving Cole's approval, Luca returned to her office and packed her handbag. Soon, she received a call.

She heard Sean speaking over the phone. "Ms. Craw, I am the driver. I'm waiting for you downstairs."

"Alright. I'm going down now," Luca said. She picked up her handbag, went downstairs, and saw Sean's car parked at the roadside. She went over, opened the door, and sat inside.

Sean started the car and drove away.

While Luca watched the scenery outside the window, she asked, "Is Mrs. Crawford ill?"

Sean smiled. "I've heard that she has a high fever. Did Mr. Crawford tell you about it?"
