Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1279

What happened to Luke might seem like an unfortunate coincidence, but if Luca thought carefully about it, she could not help but shake off the feeling that Abel was somehow involved with providing the snake venom.

Jason shook his head. "After preliminary investigations, there isn't anything suspicious about the two students' backgrounds."

Luca frowned. 'There's nothing suspicious about them?'

Luke noticed Luca's reaction to what Jason said, but he chose not to say anything about it.

Jason continued to speak to Luke, "William, the student who harmed you, is a student in his junior year in university, and his father is a successful local entrepreneur. Right, his business has relations with the New York branch of T Corporation. As far as I can tell, they are wholly legitimate and don't have any shady dealings.

"The other student's name is Paul. His background is much more normal than William's. His parents are typical white-collar workers, and they don't have any dealings with the criminal underworld either."

Luca thought that it was very strange. If the two students had normal backgrounds, how did they get their hands on snake venom?

Moreover, all William wanted was her phone number. How did he end up injuring Luke with a knife?

Luca remembered that the Swiss army knife belonged to Paul.

That also meant that Paul was the one who coated the knife with snake venom. If he were only a student with a normal background, where did he get that snake venom?

Also, was the snake venom meant to injure someone else?

The more Luca thought about it, the more questions she had, but she could not answer those questions just by thinking alone. She decided that she had to find the chance to ask Paul about it.

A normal student like Paul would break quickly when interrogated. It should not take too much effort before Luca got the answer she wanted.

Luke sat there silently observing Luca's expression.

Jason continued, "That's all I can find about them, Mr. Crawford. William's father contacted me this morning. After finding out that your son has injured you, he wants to meet you face-to-face."

Luke could guess that William's father was worried that his son's actions might affect the relationship between the companies.

Luke gazed at Jason coldly. "I can't get out of bed yet."

Jason knew Luke's decision from what he said. "Alright, Mr. Crawford. Let me handle it."

In fact, he already knew Luke's decision before asking him, but he would have to ask Luke for the sake of formality.

Jason lifted the bag in his hand. "I bought some breakfast at a restaurant nearby. Please eat something, Mr. Crawford, Little Mr. Crawford, Dr. Craw."

Tommy rubbed his stomach and pouted. "Alright. I'm already hungry."

Jason smiled and took out several boxes from the bag.

The food was simple yet appealing, yet Luca did not have the appetite. She remained silent.

Tommy asked Luke, "Daddy, what do you want to eat?"

"Whatever." Luke looked at the breakfast options and was not too interested either.

The food was not as good as what they served at the hotel, and hotel food was not as good as Luca's cooking.

Tommy picked out a sandwich for his father. While choosing a beverage, he turned his head and asked Luca, "Ms. Luca, can Daddy drink coffee?"

"He should drink milk now," Luca said.

Tommy nodded and brought a sandwich and a glass of milk to the bedside. "Daddy, should I feed you?"
