Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1448

That was an important discovery.

The shopping bags on the table were solid proof that Luca's statement did not reflect the reality of the situation.

Gale was concerned about Luke's safety. He asked, "Should I continue to investigate this, Boss?"

They had been investigating Luca for a long time. However, they had shifted their focus onto Tia recently, and they had not been paying much attention to Luca.

Now that something so serious had happened, Gale considered shifting his focus back to Luca because he could not shake off his suspicion toward Luca.

"Yes. Split up with Rain. Let her continue to investigate Tia," Luke said. After this incident, Luke could sense that Luca was planning something.

More importantly, it was a plan to get closer to him.

Gale nodded and said, "We don't know Luca's plan yet, Boss. Why don't you stay away from her for now?"

He made the suggestion because he was worried about Luke's safety.

However, Luke said, "No. I'll have to play into her plan."

"But if the Island of Despair is behind her…" Gale hesitated. He disagreed with what Luke said.

"I'm only doing this because the Island of Despair might be behind her. I can only know what she wants to do by getting close to her," Luke said insistently, seemingly not perturbed that he would be putting himself in mortal danger.

That was the only way that could lead him to Bianca.

That was why he had to be close to Tia and Luca. It may seem as though he was walking into their trap, but actually, he was leading them into his trap.

Gale could tell that nothing could convince Luke otherwise. He could only nod and say, "Take care of yourself, Boss."

"Things have been unpredictable recently. Get more people to protect Lanie and the other children," Luke said.

If Luca were really from the Island of Despair, and she had gotten someone to kill an innocent person to get close to him, she was truly a cold-blooded person.

What secrets did Luca hide from him?

"Yes," Gale nodded and said. "If the Island of Despair might be behind her, then we shouldn't let Tommy be so close to her."

"No, that'll be too obvious. I'll try to keep a close eye on her, and I'll protect Tommy," Luke said.

The child was very fond of Luca, and he would definitely throw a tantrum if Luke told him that he could not meet Luca anymore. Worse yet, Luca might suspect something.

Gale thought of saying something but decided not to.

What he wanted to say was, "I know that you're a good fighter, Boss, but Tommy is only a child. I've done my fair share of missions under you and the Island of Despair, and children are the hardest to protect."

Children are weak yet unpredictable. It was very easy for bad guys to harm them, no matter how skilled their guardians might be.

Undoubtedly, Luke was playing with fire with such an arrangement.

One could even say that he was burning himself.

"Alright then." Gale disagreed with Luke's decision, but he could only follow orders.

"I know what you're thinking, but you'll just have to do what I say," Luke said. He knew that Gale was loyal to him, but sometimes, he had to put himself in danger to achieve what he wanted.
