Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1369

Luca continued to hold Tommy in her arms until the drip bottle was dry. She did not let go even after the nurse removed the needle.

Tommy was quiet in her arms. Under the effect of the sedative, he eventually fell asleep.

The caretaker gently reminded Luca, "Ms. Craw, it'll be quite tiring to carry Master Tommy like that. Shall I do it instead?"

"I'm fine." Luca felt that her arms were slightly numb, but she insisted on carrying the child. She freed one of her hands to cover him with the blanket.

Old Master Crawford rushed to the hospital after he knew that Tommy was sick. He got the driver to fetch him there, and he was surprised to see the scene when he went into the room.

"She is…" He had only seen Luca in photos, and he did not immediately recognize her.

"Grandfather, this is Dr. Craw," Luke said.

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Craw." Old Master Crawford knew that Luca had helped Bianca and Queenie before, and the three children adored her. He was not going to look down on someone so capable, but he could not understand why Tommy was sleeping in her arms.

Did she coax Tommy to sleep? That was supposed to be the job of his father. Why would she be the one to do that?

Old Master Crawford might not like Bianca after she lost her memories, but he respected Luke's choice did not force him to divorce her. He wondered if Luca was trying to gain the children's favor so that she could replace Bianca in the Crawford family.

He had that suspicion because so many women had tried to do the same thing over the years.

As far as Old Master Crawford was concerned, marrying Bianca was Luke's choice, and Luke ought to take responsibility for his decisions.

"Nice to meet you, Sir." Luca thought that she should be more respectful toward the old man, but she could not stand up because she was carrying the child in her arms.

She was relieved to see that Old Master Crawford was still in good health.

Even though there had been some misunderstandings between them, she was grateful toward Old Master Crawford.

Without Old Master Crawford in the house, her three children would probably be bullied by the other people in the family. Luke was busy at work, and he could not be constantly looking after the children.

"Mm. What's wrong with Tommy?" Old Master Crawford asked.

Luca looked at the child in her arms. He was sleeping soundly, and one of his hands was gripping Luca's arm as though he was worried that she might go away.

That was all she could do in the daytime. At night, she would not hesitate to lie down beside him.

The caretaker explained, "Master Tommy was throwing a tantrum earlier, and Ms. Craw managed to calm him down."

Old Master Crawford knew that Tommy adored Luca, but he could not understand why Luca was here at the hospital.

"Mm, thank you, Ms. Craw. How is Tommy's condition?" Old Master Crawford asked out of concern.

Luke replied, "Tommy's fever has subsided, but his condition is unstable, and his fever might return. That's why I asked Dr. Craw to come over to check on Tommy."

"How did he become like that? I know that Tommy was coughing a few days ago, but how did it become so serious?" Old Master Crawford asked, confused.

"We don't know yet," Luke said.

Old Master Crawford walked over to the bedside with the help of his walking stick. His heart wrenched when he saw Tommy's face. "Did Dr. Park say anything?"

"They had just performed a series of tests on Tommy, Grandfather. Let's not rush them. They can only diagnose Tommy's condition after the test results are out," Luke said.
