Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1257

Luca pressed her lips together and swallowed her words of rejection. "Sorry to have troubled you," she said stiffly.

Luke nodded and left the room, and Luca followed behind him.

Bianca watched as the two people left the room one after another. She wished that she could step between them, but her condition did not allow her to do that.

Meanwhile, Dr. Blake was still amazed that acupuncture could awaken an unconscious patient. He glanced at the trash bin in the room; there was a pile of needles inside.

What he did not know was that Luca had only used two of them.

Dr. Blake asked, "How do you feel now, Mrs. Crawford?"

"A little tired…" Bianca answered. If she was resuscitated, there should not be major problems to her health.

"I'm glad that you're feeling better." Dr. Blake heaved a sigh of relief. He still had his suspicions, but it was nonetheless good news that she managed to wake up.

"I'm fine." Bianca wanted to sit up, but she did not have the strength to do so.

Dr. Blake nodded. Earlier, he did not believe what the nurse told him, but now, he had no choice but to admit that it was true. He said, "You should rest more. You can call the nurse over if you don't feel well."

"Alright." Bianca gave a perfunctory response. After the doctor and nurse left, she looked at Jack and wondered how she should make him leave the room.

"I think I want to drink some milk, Dad. Can you buy a bottle for me at the cafeteria downstairs?"

Jack nodded. The room was getting stuffy, so he took the opportunity to go for a walk.

After Jack left, Bianca found some excuse to make the caretaker leave. Only she and Queenie were left in the room.

Bianca said candidly, "Mom, why did you ask Luke to go with that woman?"

Queenie could see the jealousy in Bianca's eyes. "Bea, Luca came here because of you, and it's only polite for us to send her back. You should be grateful to her."

Bianca was not in the mood to listen to all that. 'How pretentious!' She thought.

"I know, Mom, but I can't be at ease when I think of what that woman might do to Luke. Look at me, I'm helpless now, and I can't do anything if the woman decides to make a move on Luke," Bianca said.

Queenie sighed and patted her hand. "Alright, I won't do it next time. You just woke up, so you shouldn't be too agitated."

Bianca took a deep breath to calm herself down. In her agitation earlier, her heart began to heat faster again. "I love Luke too much…"

"You should trust him. Luke is a good husband and a good father," Queenie said.

Bianca nodded but said nothing.

She would not have been so anxious if it were some other woman because Luke would not have been bothered with them, but she could not keep calm when it was Luca.

Somehow, Luca had to be the first exception…

"You… you're thinking too much," Queenie said lovingly as she stroked Bianca's forehead.

Bianca knew that she was not overthinking. Perhaps Queenie thought that Luca was a good person, but Luca was from the Island of Despair, and no one from there could be good.

Meanwhile, Luca sat solemnly on the side passenger seat. The atmosphere in the car was tense, but Luca did not plan to break the silence.

She thought that the silence would continue when Luke, driving, suddenly spoke, "The progress of your research is much faster than the others."

Luca nodded and said, "Mm."

"I'm surprised," Luke said. Indeed, he was quite surprised when Luca made her progress report earlier. Luca had made the most progress among all the researchers, and her topic was not an easy one.
