Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1429

Sue shook her head and said, "Which of their plans would involve a psychologist?"

Nina shook her head to show that she did not know. Percy was on an overseas business trip, and she did not know what was going on.

Sue looked at Luca, who had been keeping silent. "Luca, aren't you working at the T Corporation building? Have you heard any stories?"

"If Mr. Crawford and Mr. Doyle were really planning something, they would have done so in secret. I'm only a researcher, so what could I possibly know? I hear many other employees gossiping about the news, and that's about it," Luca said with a smile. She ate the last bite of the cake and felt full.

She did not want to hear her friends talk about the issue. The taste of the cake seemed to have changed, and the cream clung to her throat and made it hard to breathe.

Luca was uneasy for the rest of the party.

Until the party ended, Luke and Jason remained upstairs discussing something.

The other parents came and brought their children away. Only Kari, Teri, and Tommy were left in the living room. They were tired from the party games and were sitting on the couch watching cartoons on the television.

Luca and Nina helped Sue clean up the mess in the living room.

Even though the children were well-behaved, messing up the living room was inevitable because there were so many of them.

Sue sighed with relief and said, "Thanks to you two for helping me. If it were left up to me and the caretaker, we don't know how long it'll take us. Now, I finally understand why Jason suggested hosting the birthday party at an event venue. It's so much of a hassle to clean up."

"It's true that party venues are more convenient, but I'm sure that the children would appreciate it better when you host their birthday party at home," Nina smiled and said.

After they tidied up the place, Luca saw that it was getting quite late. She told Sue that she wanted to go home.

Nina said, "Are you going home? I can send you back."

Luca thought that it was a good idea, so she agreed to it.

After they got into Nina's car, Nina drove the car toward Luca's apartment. None of them said anything until Luca broke the silence and asked, "You haven't been sleeping well recently, have you?"

Nina was surprised. She asked, "Did my makeup wear off?"

"No, your makeup is perfect, but I can see that," Luca said as she pointed at her eyes. "I can tell that your eyes are quite puffy under the makeup."

Nina smiled when she heard that. "I didn't expect you to see through the façade. Indeed, I haven't been sleeping well lately."

"People in modern times face a lot of stress, and that might be the cause of poor sleep quality. You don't have to worry though, you can alleviate the symptoms through medication," Luca said. She did not know the exact source of Nina's stress, but she could guess that it had something to do with her family and Percy.

If Nina could have a good night's sleep, she would be able to think more clearly. Things would not get any better for Nina if she did not sleep well, and the stress would only accumulate.

She did not want to imagine what would happen to Nina if this went on.

"I regularly take sleeping pills, but so many things have been happening lately, and the pills don't really have any effect on me anymore," Nina said. She did not know why she told Luca more personal things.

She was only acquainted with Luca a while ago, but it felt as though she had known Luca for a long time.

"Have you consulted a psychologist? In any case, you might be able to find some relief if you change a different type of medication or if you can find a friend to talk to about your problems. A good night's sleep is more important than anything else," Luca said.
