Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 136

She cried in Luke's arms for a long, long time until the surrounding crickets quieted down. Bianca had tired herself from crying and felt a faint soreness in her lower abdomen and lower back.

It was a feeling that she had for years which she experienced once every month.

Only this time, it seemed to have come many days in advance.

When a woman’s body did not get enough rest, the body would react abnormally, and that included having irregular periods.

Bianca withdrew from his arms. She was anxious and embarrassed. She squeezed out the warm tears from her eyes.

When Luke’s chest suddenly felt empty, he looked sadly at her and asked, “Should we head back to A City or continue looking around the town? Does Grandpa have any relatives in town?”

He would respect any decision she made.

"Grandpa doesn’t have any relatives in town..."

Bianca suddenly thought that if Grandpa really ran away from home, he would never return to town.

When she thought about it, she started worrying about Grandpa being in danger.

All the horrible images flooded into her mind all at once.

Luke seemed to know what she was thinking and stepped forward. He combed down her messy hair while she cried in his arms. "No news is good news. If anything happened to Grandpa, someone would've told the police by now."

Bianca looked up at him, instinctively believing every word he said.

Without her knowing it, she relied on him wholeheartedly.

"Really. Trust me." Luke's deep eyes looked into her fragile eyes.

Bianca nodded. 'It'll be okay. Grandpa will be okay.'

It was as if telling herself that over and over again would make Grandpa be safe…

"Get in the car. Let's head back to A City." Luke placed his big arm on her left shoulder and led her to the car.

However, Bianca suddenly stopped and thought about it. She said, "Wait here. I need to go to the supermarket to buy some things. Don't follow me."

After she said that, she left.

It was dark everywhere with no street lights around. The only light source was the moonlight.

Bianca did not dare not to get into his car straight away because she was afraid that she would stain his car seat. Furthermore, she knew that her period was only going to get heavier with time…

Luke stood tall and straight at the gate like a night knight who had just landed on earth.

In front of him was his parked black Range Rover.

Luke stared at her thin figure walking toward the supermarket. He did not hold back and followed her in.

The Raynes’ old house was some distance away from the supermarket. Since it had been a long time since she was back in the small town, she was a little unfamiliar with the place now despite it being her hometown.

Luke could not bear seeing her figure leave his sight.

When she arrived at the supermarket, Bianca took out her cell phone and turned on the flashlight to look for the supermarket doorbell.

In small towns like Luojiazhen, supermarkets usually closed after nine.

No one came that early unless it was for urgent matters.

"Why isn’t there a doorbell?" Bianca muttered anxiously while searching for it.

Luke approached, reached out his arm, and knocked on the door.

"Anyone there?"

The man’s voice was magnetic, and he quickly heard the owner inside asking, "It’s the middle of the night. Who is it?"

"We’re here to buy some things. Can you open the door for us..." Bianca said first.

Luke's cold and hard voice was able to wake up the owner, but perhaps the owner would not dare to open the door to such a scary voice.

When the owner heard that there was also a girl, the owner put on a robe and opened the door for them.

The owner was a middle-aged woman, and she looked up at the two people outside the door.

"You don't look like locals." The owner hesitated whether to close the door on them.
