Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1370

Two hours later, Tommy's full test report was ready.

Johann came into the room with a stack of paper. Luca asked, "Is that the test report?"

"Yes, Dr. Craw. Indeed, there are abnormalities in some of the tests. Take a look," Johann said while handing the stack of paper to Luca.

It was only then that Luca let go of Tommy.

Tommy had already fallen asleep in her arms. She gently placed the little boy on the bed without waking him up.

Old Master Crawford observed her careful actions. Compared to Bianca, Luca looked more like the child's mother.

The child was willing to get close to her, and she was willing to take care of the child.

However, no one could deny the truth. Bianca was the birth mother of the three children. It did not matter how Luca treated them.

Old Master Crawford stole a glance at Luke. He was also observing Luca's actions.

After Luca tucked Tommy in, she took the document from Johann's hands and briefly browsed through it. "We'll have to do a bacteria culture test. I suspect that Tommy ate something wrong, and he's down with a bacteria infection."

Luke frowned slightly when he heard that.

He knew that Tommy's fever was caused by the impostor Bianca's cookies.

"Everything that Tommy ate in the past few days was prepared by the household cook, except last Sunday, when they went over to your house. What could have possibly caused the bacterial infection?" Old Master Crawford raised his doubts.

Even though he pampered the children, he was quite strict when it came to matters concerning their health. He did not allow the children to eat junk food even if they begged him for it, and the caretakers and driver knew better than to disobey his orders.

Luca could sense that Old Master Crawford was suspecting her. She said, "It's true that I made some croissants for the children that day, but the ingredients were freshly bought from the supermarket. If there's something wrong with the food, then all three children and…"

She paused for a while and looked at Luke. "All three children and Mr. Crawford ate the croissants. Tommy shouldn't be the only one affected."

Luke already knew the cause of Tommy's sickness. After Luca finished explaining herself, he added, "There's nothing wrong with the food last Sunday. Tommy might have sneakily bought and eaten some unhealthy food when no one was looking. The most important thing now is to diagnose the infection so that the doctors can treat it."

Old Master Crawford frowned. He did not look very happy.

Johann tried to ease the tension in the room. "That's right, Luke. I'll get a nurse to collect a sample so that we can perform the bacteria culture test. It'll take a day before we get results. In the meantime, the nurse will take Tommy's temperature every half an hour. Don't worry."

Luca watched Johann leave, then turned her head to look at the child on the bed. She would only know what caused Tommy's fever the next day…

She wanted to stay behind to take care of Tommy, but Luke and Old Master Crawford were in the room. She was only an outsider, and she had no reason to stay.

Even though Old Master Crawford did not say it, she could tell that he was not pleased with her presence. To him, Luca had no relation to the family. If she was too eager, he might think that she had an ulterior motive.

There was no choice but to leave…

"Mr. Crawford, if the test results are only ready by tomorrow, I should return to the company and continue my work," Luca said, trying hard not to show that she was worried.

Luke stared at her. "Aren't you going to give Tommy a prescription?"
