Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1252

'Did he skip lunch and dinner again?'

Luca remembered the scene at the hospital earlier. She heard that he had been keeping watch in the hospital for the entire night, which meant that he probably had not eaten a proper meal since the plate of spaghetti at her house the day before yesterday.

Tommy noticed her hesitation. He wagged her hand. "My Daddy has gastric problems, Ms. Luca."

'Right, he has gastric problems…'

Luca gently pinched Tommy's hand and said, "I only have spaghetti, vegetables, and eggs at home, so I can't cook something too fancy. He can come and eat if he doesn't mind that."

She sighed to herself. She could not bear to see Luke torture himself after all.

'He must be tired all these years, having to take care of the company and the children…'

"Daddy won't mind it at all. Your scrambled eggs are great," Tommy said with a grin. He ran back to the car and told Luke who was sitting in the driver's seat, "Daddy, Ms. Luca promised to cook for us. Let's go."

Luke raised his eyebrows. Somehow, Luca was convinced by Tommy's sob story.

Luca watched him park the car in a parking spot and step out of the car. She did not say anything and walked toward her apartment.

Tommy jogged up to Luca and took her hand. "Don't go so fast, Ms. Luca."

It was then that Luca realized that she had subconsciously walked faster, so she slowed down a little. Soon, Luke caught up to her.

The street lights in the neighborhood cast long shadows on the three people. Even though the adults kept some distance from each other, their shadows looked so close together.

It was as though they were a family of three.

"How is Mrs. Crawford?" Luca asked, breaking the silence.

"After her fever subsided, her body temperature remained constant," Luke said. He knew that Bianca's fever had not returned because the caretaker did not call him for the entire day.

"She's not very healthy, so her fever might return some day. You should make sure that she keeps on drinking the concoction," Luca said carefully, though she felt bitter in her heart.

Luke seemed to talk more when talking about Bianca.

Inexplicably, he became doubtful after hearing what Luca told him. "Are you sure that it's only the common cold?"

"That's as far as I can conclude from the test report." Luca nodded. Indeed, she could not give any other answer. She could not tell him that it was because of the drug.

The chief physician had told him the same thing, but Luke somehow felt that Luca was hiding something.

The three people stepped into the elevator and arrived at Luca's house.

Luca opened the door, put her handbag on the couch, and turned around to look at the man behind her. He was walking into the house, so she told him, "Sit down for a while. I'll go and cook in the kitchen."

"Ms. Luca, why not ask Daddy to help you?" Tommy said eagerly.

Luca shook her head. For a while, she thought that Tommy was trying to match her with Luke.

"I'm fine doing it myself. It won't take long for me to cook something simple." She turned around and walked to the kitchen.

Tommy saw Luke sitting on the couch as though he was in his own house, so he sat down beside him. "Can I discuss something with you, Daddy?"

"I don't agree," Luke said. Even though Tommy had not mentioned what it was, he could guess that it had something to do with Luca.
