Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1373

From Luke's expression, Johann could tell what he was thinking.

He rubbed his chin and tried to speak up for Dr. Blake. "Don't be like that. Any head physician in our hospital has to be a skilled doctor. You can't blame him for what happened to Sis; none of us knew what happened, including me. It's only thanks to Dr. Craw that her condition improved, so you shouldn't think that Dr. Blake is incapable. Also, your tantrum has scared all the people in the internal medicine department. It took me a lot of effort to convince Dr. Blake to stay on duty tonight."

Head physicians need not take the night shift, but Johann could not trust the other doctors to take care of Tommy. That was why he went to convince Dr. Blake to stay back.

Luke did not say anything. He did not want other doctors to take care of Tommy.

Tommy was Bianca's favorite child. If the real Bianca eventually returned, she would be sad if she found out that Tommy was ill.

Johann took Luke's silence as consent. He turned his head to look at Luca and asked her, "By the way, Dr. Craw, I've been wondering what happened to Sis last time. What was the problem? I thought that the herbal concoction was more of a health supplement, but I didn't expect it to cure her."

"Mrs. Crawford's fever was caused by a hormonal imbalance. She just needs some nourishment," Luca randomly made up an excuse. Her concoction might look only like a supplement, but every component served to counter the pill's effects.

"I see. I'm not very well-versed in naturopathy, but it looks like I have a lot to learn. Sometimes, naturopathic treatments can be more effective than modern medicine," Johann said and nodded with an ambiguous smile on his face. He looked at the other people in the room; Tommy was focused on watching his cartoon, while the other people seemed to be concentrated in thought. He did not want to disturb them, so he said goodbye and left the room.

After the cartoon ended, Tommy hugged Luca's arm and said cloyingly, "Ms. Luca, can you stay the night with me?"

"Stay the night with you?" Luca said awkwardly. There were only two other beds for visitors in the room. One was for Luke, and the other was for the caretaker.

Tommy nodded and shifted away slightly on his butt. "My bed is big enough for the two of us. Daddy is too tall to sleep here, and I'd be scared if I'm sleeping alone."

Luca's conviction wavered when she heard that.

She genuinely wanted to stay the night and take care of Tommy in case his fever returned in the middle of the night.

However, Luke was also in the same room…

At that moment, the nurse came in and said, "It's time to take your temperature, Tommy."

Tommy turned his head to look at the nurse and nodded.

The nurse took Tommy's temperature and frowned when she read the results. "99.5 degrees. It's still a little high."

When Luca heard that, she touched Tommy's forehead with her hand. It was indeed a little warm.

"I'll come back in ten minutes to take his temperature again. Please ring the bell if his temperature increases suddenly," the nurse said.

Luca became more anxious about Tommy's condition when she heard that. She looked at Tommy and nodded. "Alright, I'll stay here with you tonight. Please get well soon, okay?"

"Yes, Ms. Luca. With you here with me, I'll be well again in no time!" Tommy grinned happily as though he was unconcerned about the rise in body temperature.

Luca helped Tommy lie down on the bed, then looked at Luke, who had already retreated to the couch.

She pressed her lips but eventually decided to lie down on the bed. She gently patted Tommy's back.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Luca saw that it was a message from Amur, so she immediately read it.
