Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1375

After breakfast, the hospital corridors began to fill up with people.

Luca guessed that the results of the bacteria culture test should be out by any time now. As expected, Johann came to the room half an hour later with the report in his hands.

"I've read the report. Indeed, Tommy's fever is caused by a bacterial infection," he said.

Luke frowned when he heard that. That must be Bianca's going.

The child did not have any external injuries, and he only ate the food from Crawford Manor. There was no other way he could have gotten a bacterial infection. Thinking of what Bianca told him earlier, he realized that it was not a lie for him to free her.

He had always believed what Bianca said. That was why he had asked Johann to treat Tommy's illness to be something more than a regular fever.

There was no other reason why Bianca could so accurately predict Tommy's fever even though she was confined in the mansion…

"I have to say that this is a rare bacteria in this region because the warm climate here isn't suitable for its cultivation. If it's exposed in the air, it'll die within five to ten minutes," Johann said.

Luke asked, "What can be done?"

"Don't worry, I've already prescribed some antibiotics for Tommy, and the nurse will come over with the injection soon. We'll do another bacteria culture test in two days, and if we don't detect any bacteria in his system, he should be fine," Johann said. He need not rely on Luca for this.

However, Luca was the one who suggested that they perform a bacteria culture test on Tommy. If not for her suggestion, Tommy would still have to suffer for quite some time.

Luke nodded when he heard that. He was glad that the child was going to be fine.

"I'll have to thank you, Dr. Craw. We only managed to find the cause of Tommy's fever because of you. Right, Tommy's constitution is quite weak. Can you concoct something so that he becomes healthier?" Johann said.

"Don't mention it. I didn't do much to help. As for a concoction, I can try to come up with something, but I'm afraid that Tommy wouldn't like it," Luca said as she sat on the bed. She did not look at the report because she knew that Johann would not deceive her.

Without looking at the report, she knew the type of bacteria that Johann was talking about.

There were not many types of bacteria that could not withstand warm temperatures. The Island of Despair cultivated one of those types, and Luca had seen it in the laboratory.

The Island of Despair was located at a high latitude, and the climate there was suitable for the cultivation of the bacteria. To increase the chances of the bacteria's survival, Abel had built Shanks a refrigerated chamber.

Bianca must have obtained the bacteria from Abel. Luca wondered if Abel would notice that Luke was keeping Bianca captive.

While she was deep in thought, she did not notice that the two men exchanged glances.

Tommy smiled and said, "I'll eat whatever you make for me, Ms. Luca. Even medicine."

Luca smiled and stroked Tommy's head. She could tell that the little boy fully trusted her.

Johann said, "Luke, are you free now? Come to my office for a bit."

"Mm." Luke nodded, knowing that Johann had something to tell him. He said to the caretaker, "Take care of Tommy."

"Yes," the caretaker replied. She was glad to know that Tommy was fine.
