Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1442

"Nonsense! If you can't afford another child, I'll support you!" Old Master Crawford saw through him and put him in a corner.

"No, no, I don't want to live off you. Grandpa, it's late. I'm going upstairs. You should rest early as well." Louis slipped away for fear of being lectured further.

Old Master Crawford watched his grandson head upstairs and shook his head helplessly. He wanted Louis to have another child in hopes of managing Thea's competitiveness. After all, Thea was Susan's only granddaughter and had been spoiled rotten.

Unfortunately, Louis had no intentions as such and he could not do anything about it.

Old Master Crawford picked up his phone and made a call. After the call was connected, he said to the person on the other end of the call, "Help me investigate a person. Her name is Luca and she works at T Corporation. I want everything there is to know about her."

"Yes, I'll send it to you the day after tomorrow," the person on the other end of the call replied.

When Old Master Crawford heard that, he hung up the phone.

Tommy walked out holding some bread, and he asked, "Great-grandpa, did you just say you want to investigate Ms. Luca?"

"No, I’m sure you heard wrong," Old Master Crawford looked at his grandson who was holding a piece of bread in each hand and said with distress, "Poor thing. Are you starving?"

"No, I had some oats in the hospital, but the oats that Uncle Park gave me tasted terrible. I had a bowl of it but I’m not full. Great-grandpa, I'm not starving." Tommy took a bite of the bread and said, "If it weren't for Ms. Luca's accident, I would never go hungry."

"Okay, go upstairs after eating. Don't think so much and get some rest. You have class tomorrow." Old Master Crawford did not like hearing him talking about Luca, so he interrupted Tommy.

Tommy was not bothered. After all, he did not understand the drama between the adults. He just nodded happily and said, "Okay, Great-grandpa, good night."

"Good night." Old Master Crawford returned to his room after Tommy.

...

Luca woke up in the middle of the night. She looked at the white ceiling as a faint smell of disinfectant wafted into her nose.

She did not need to ask to know that she was in the hospital.

Luke found her knocked out on the floor and brought her to the hospital...

Luca blinked, turned her head slowly, and felt dizzy. She immediately closed her eyes and after a while, she opened her eyes and saw her environment clearly.

She was in a private room in the hospital.

She knew Luke had something to do with it...

Luca knew what was going on. She likely had a concussion after being knocked on her head. What she had to do now was to minimize her physical activities and allow her body some time to adapt.

The ward was silent. It was in the middle of the night, so there was no sound of people moving in the corridor. She suddenly felt that she was trapped in a huge void.

The emptiness was overwhelming and depressing...

Luca closed her eyes tightly, feeling as though there was a huge net on the ceiling covering her, about to wrap her up with no room to breathe.

She was not usually a sanctimonious person but she was very sad.

Her procrastination and unwillingness led to a security guard losing his life.

If she had taken the initiative to get closer to Luke, the security guard might not have died.

He was middle-aged. She thought that he would have a family. How would his family get by following his death?

Luca resented Abel's cruelty.

‘If he’s dissatisfied with me, he can come for me. Why did he murder a security guard in cold blood?’
