Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1380

Luca's expression was calm. She moved her lips in response. Her heart was beating like a drum and she was overthinking.

‘What does he mean?’

Knock, knock. When his shut office door was knocked on, Luke looked away from her face and said, "Come in."

Mo came in holding a cup of coffee. She delivered the coffee following Dr. Cole's orders. The moment she opened the door, she saw Luca.

She froze but quickly returned to normal. She brought the coffee to Luke, put it down, and said, "Mr. Crawford, this is your coffee."

Luke glanced at the coffee and nodded. "Close the door when you leave."

Mo nodded and slipped out of the office. She closed the door on her way out.

The thick wooden door acted as a barrier, so she could no longer see what was happening inside.

Mo fiddled with her hair in annoyance. She did not expect Luca to be in Luke's office. Dr. Cole had set her up.

After Mo left, Luca changed the subject and said, "Mr. Crawford, is there anything else that you’d like to discuss?"

"What do you think about what happened?" Luke asked.

"My research was sabotaged and I trust that the matter will be investigated." Luca's hands were tightly intertwined and placed on her thighs. She was highly cautious as she was well aware of his shrewdness.

Luke noticed how calm she was. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "It seems like you already know who did it?"

"No. I have a long name list but I’d need to trouble Mr. Doyle to investigate further on who exactly did it," Luca said. When Luke announced that Jason would lead the investigation, she knew that he took this matter seriously.

To her surprise, he did not hold her accountable but rather admonished Dr. Cole instead.

He did not have a separate conversation with anyone before setting his target on Dr. Cole. Luca was not sure if he did it on purpose.

"Mr. Doyle will find out who did this. Also, I want to ask you for a favor." Luke's gaze darkened a little.

"Mr. Crawford, what can I help you with?" Luca did not agree just yet. She wanted to see what was the favor he wanted from her.

Luke said, "Dr. Park gave Tommy a physical examination and advised us to pay more attention to his health. You seem to be an expert in this aspect. I want to ask for your help to improve Tommy’s health."

A child going through a serious illness would not cause their immune system to weaken, but Tommy was different. He was sick due to a bacterial infection. After antibiotics, his body would be weaker than before.

Luca wanted to agree. She felt more at ease if she could take care of him.

However, it was troublesome for her to take care of Tommy considering that she did not live with Luke...

Seeing that Luca had yet to agree, Luke said, "Every afternoon, after Tommy is back from school, I’ll have Zander send him to your apartment. When he’s done with dinner, Zander will take him home. I want you to improve his health by focusing on providing him with a nutritious dinner. Would that be okay?"

Luke asked for a favor humbly. Luca could tell that he was being sincere from his tone of voice.

There was no hidden meaning in his words.

Luca thought about it for a while. It was not an issue for her to make use of the opportunity to cook nutritious food for Tommy for dinner.

In this way, she did not have to go in and out of Crawford Manor in the name of improving Tommy’s health.

Luca nodded and said, "Mr. Crawford, if you trust me enough to leave your child with me, I’m happy to have him over for dinner every day."
