Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1480

Abel's hand was exploring her body restlessly as he lifted the corners of his lips. "What's the matter? Are you still in love with that man?"

Hera chuckled and playfully pushed him gently. "'m just curious. You're still dealing with Luke after so many years. Is there some sort of resentment between the both of you?"

“My hatred for him is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Do you want to know about it?” Abel asked softly as he leaned over to her neck like a dangerous serpent.

Hera shivered for a moment, but she could not suppress her curiosity. “Tell me about it, will you?”

Abel drew his hand away and stood up with extreme hatred and coldness on his face. “You shouldn’t have asked.”

He resented Luke Crawford for taking his loved ones away, for his father’s death, and for destroying his family. After all those things that had happened between Luke and him, one of them was bound to die.

However, he wanted Luke to have a taste of bitter anguish before he sent him to his death.

Otherwise, the hatred in his heart could not be resolved!

Hera realized she had asked something that she was not supposed to. She stood up hurriedly, smiled, and said, "Alright, alright. I shouldn't have asked. You hardly have the time to keep me company, so we shouldn't be wasting our time on that bastard."

Abel was placated by what she said. After he let out an evil laugh, Abel put his arms around her while they walked toward the bedroom. The reason why he had maintained such a relationship with Hera was because her voice was so similar to Kassy’s. When he closed his eyes and listened to her talk, it felt as if Kassy had never left and she was always by his side.

…

The following day.

Luca received Rhett's call, informing her that there was a problem with the research. They needed her to manage things.

Luca was thinking of going back to handle things, but Rhett told her to get some rest and she could handle things by holding a video conference.

She thought that it was a good idea, so she used the application to connect with the researchers in the laboratory. After listening to their reports, Luca learned where they were currently stuck in the research progress and discussed the issue with them.

After discussing and obtaining a new line of research, they ended their video conference.

Luca could tell that they did not want to hold up her resting time.

After a few of the researchers went offline, Rhett said with concern, “Dr. Craw, how’s your head?”

Luca touched the bandage on her forehead. She would be able to have the bandages removed, so it meant that the injury was not a big deal. She smiled and replied, “Of course, it’s fine. It’s almost healed.”

“That’s great.” Rhett was relaxed. He had thought of visiting Luca but who would have known that after rushing to the hospital after he got off work the day after the incident, he was told by the nurse that Luca had already been discharged from the hospital.

Meanwhile, Jason had gone to their department and informed them that Luca would be taking off for a week. They were told not to disturb her if there were no big problems.

Hence, the people in the research department had yet to visit her.

Moreover, Rhett had no idea where Luca was staying right now, so it was difficult for him to pay a visit even if he wanted to.

“Rhett?” Luca called out. Although she was clueless as to why he was spacing out, this was not the appropriate time to do this.

"Oh, yes. Dr. Craw, the company has decided to organize a vacation in B City. Mr. Crawford said that everyone must join if there are no special circumstances. And the company even bought insurance for the trip this time. We've already filled in the forms. I'm sending your form now. Can you please fill it online?" After Rhett came back to his senses, he continued to report about other matters.

A trip to B City…

Luca did not feel like going there. Was this trip not a little forced?

She had her doubts because usually, it was up to the employees if they would like to join the trips organized by the company. The company would certainly not force them to join if they were unwilling to.
