Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1528

Luke listened to her earnest explanation. It was as if she was trying to cover up something. However, he was not able to verify what she said, so he did not say anything.

It was getting darker. Luke glanced at the time on his watch and found that it was already 11 o'clock.

Luca’s stomach started to gurgle. He immediately looked at her when he heard the sound.

Luca touched her stomach, embarrassed. The sound came from her stomach. She never thought that after a few months of living a comfortable life, her stomach would become so sensitive.

"You’re hungry?" Luke stood up, wanting to see if he could find anything to eat nearby.

There was a lot to eat in the mountains. Before it rained, he did not expect to be trapped here for so long.

"No, Mr. Crawford. Where are you going?" Luca saw him walk to the pavilion and stood up as well.

"I’ll head out to have a look. When we walked past the area today, I seemed to see a fruit forest," Luke said.

Luca also remembered that there was a fruit forest with seasonal fruits hanging on the trees. However, it was not on the side of the mountain road but deep in the mountain. The rain was not as heavy now but the mountains at night were full of unknown dangers, especially on such a rainy and foggy day. One had to be careful when walking on the mountain road.

"Mr. Crawford, it's dangerous to go in like this, especially when we don't have a flashlight. It’s not a good idea to go look for food now." She tried to persuade him to change his mind.

Luke frowned. If he left the mountain road, there would be no lights. It was indeed dangerous, but considering that she was hungry...

When he thought about how she was hungry, his subconscious reaction was to find something for her to eat.

He had always been omnipotent. In a situation like this, all he could think about was to take immediate action to find food for her.

"It's fine," Luke said.

Luca took out a water bottle that she had not drunk from all afternoon from her rucksack. "Mr. Crawford, I still have glucose water. Don't go, the mountain is quite scary at night."

She thought that to dissuade Luke from going to look for food, she could only show her weakness. His clothes were finally dry. If he went out and got under the rain again, she was afraid that his clothes would be wet the entire night.

After all, the fog on this mountain was so thick that the wind was moist.

When he heard that she was scared, Luke could not bear to leave her here alone while he went to the mountains to find something to eat.

In desperation, he gave up the idea of going to the mountain to find food for her.

Luca opened the bottle cap, thought about it, and then summoned up the courage to ask, "Would you like to drink some? If you’re hungry, you’re likely to lack sugar. Having some sugar will keep the body warm."

Luke watched her hand over the water bottle again, and this time, he did not say no.

He took the bottle, then raised his head and poured some into his mouth. He did not drink much, just a mouthful.

Luca watched his movements and breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he did not touch the mouth of the bottle, at least he accepted it.

When he handed the water bottle back, she also took a sip. When she thought about how the night was long, she did not dare to drink more.

Seeing this, Luke frowned and asked, "Is this enough?"

"Yes, it’s enough." Luca tightened the lid and put it back into her rucksack. "I used to go for training, so starving is common..."

"Training?" Luke frowned. He thought that she was good at fighting, which was where her agility came from. Now, it seemed that her agility was not all from practicing martial arts.

Luca realized that she had said too much and quickly said, "I’m interested in such things so when I have time, I’ll participate in training camps. Mr. Crawford, I’m sleepy. I’m going to bed now."

She avoided the topic with the excuse of being sleepy. She knew she had said too much.

Luke looked at Luca lying on one of the benches. She did not say a word and it seemed like she was asleep...
