Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 147

Luke’s brows furrowed slightly, his dignified expression still a little upset. She knew why he was feeling upset.

"Can you show some respect?" Bianca pulled out her hand to avoid any more unnecessary touching.

Out of her expectation, the man gripped her wrist even tighter the very next moment.

Luke's deep and piercingly cold gaze was chilling as he looked at her flickering eyes. "How do I show my respect to you? Should I address you as my cousin-in-law?”

His tone was sarcastic and cold.

Bianca was once again annoyed by his words. "If that’s what you want to call me, I don't mind."

Just when the man was on the verge of breaking her wrist, Grandpa said, “Bea, have you packed the kid’s school bag?”

Bianca could not say anything from the pain she was feeling. Her wrist would have broken if he had not loosened his grip.

Luke's cannibalistic appearance was reflected in her misty eyes. She lowered her head, gritted her teeth silently, and broke away from his grip...

"Say goodbye to Grandpa." There was no expression on Luke's face when he told his son as he reached the door.

The little guy took his daddy’s hand, turned his head, and waved his other hand toward the hospital bed. "Goodbye, Great-grandpa. Have a good rest. I… I’ll come and see you tomorrow..."

"Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow," the old man said.

The little guy was taken out of the ward by his dad.

Before the ward’s door closed, he looked back at Aunt Bea who had not come out. He walked along the corridor and looked up. "Daddy, I think Aunt Bea is secretly crying."

Luke did not look at his son. “You’re mistaken.”

The little guy insisted, saying, "I'm not mistaken..."

The man frowned.

...

Bianca thought that Grandpa would ask why she suddenly minded the difference between their family background and why they suddenly broke up when everything was going fine.

However, Grandpa did not ask her.

Grandpa lay on the hospital bed. He did not sigh nor frown. He did not want to put pressure on his granddaughter.

Brayden texted her.

After reading his text, she went over and tucked the blanket for Grandpa again. She tucked the corner of the blankets before going out, gently closing the ward door…

Brayden was at the entrance of the hospital.

When he saw Bianca, he asked with care, "Is your family member in the hospital?"

"Yeah. My grandpa." Bianca did not intend to hide it.

"Shall we have something to drink?" Brayden pointed to a coffee bar outside the hospital and said.

She nodded. She wanted to sit down and talk anyway.

They arrived at the coffee bar.

Brayden ordered two cups of coffee. Since they had eaten together before, he knew what she liked.

The coffee did not arrive even after a long time.

Brayden asked, "Why’s your Grandpa in the hospital?"

"Just the typical thing old people get. He’ll be discharged in a few days." Bianca could not say that her grandfather was kidnapped and injured. It might scare Brayden.

Brayden nodded and fell silent. He carefully studied the words she said, especially the words ‘the typical thing old people get’…

After a while, he looked up. "Are you taking care of him by yourself in the hospital? Where are your parents?"

At that moment, the coffee came.

The waiter put down the coffee and left.
