Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1623

As soon as Eric heard that, he immediately praised Pierre, "That’s smart! When will this matter end?"

Based on the industry standards, they had to complete everything before they could receive any money.

Pierre glared at him. "If Luke cares about this woman, he’ll act soon. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Eric was speechless when he heard that Luke Crawford was involved.

He was not afraid because Luke was involved. There were not many people who could get Luke’s attention. If he compromised because of a threat, he would have to compromise a lot.

What worried him was if Luke treasured the woman in the room.

The two seemed to be romantically linked…

If he and Derek were not able to escape in time, both of them would be sent to jail!

"What? Are you feeling dissatisfied? Do you think I’m not paying you enough?" Pierre asked when he saw Eric keeping quiet.

Eric wailed in his heart. If he had known that this woman was involved with Luke, he would never have kidnapped her no matter how much money Pierre offered.

Nevertheless, there were rules. They had already started the task, so they had to obey the contract. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, Boss. Don't worry, we’ll keep a good watch over this woman."

Pierre reminded him, saying, "Don't reveal anything else. This woman is very smart. Don't worry, she didn't see your faces so all of the threats are empty. When this is over, I’ll pay you immediately. You can take the money and make a run to other cities."

Eric nodded and replied, "Yes, Boss."

Pierre was pleased and left. He was in a wonderful mood when he looked at the recorded video of Luca being slapped. He planned to edit it and leave a copy for himself.

After he sent Pierre off, Eric went back to the house and saw Derek sitting there while drinking. He asked, "Did you stop the bleeding for her?"

"Why should we do so when the boss didn’t blame us?" Derek said indifferently.

Eric panicked when he heard that. "You fool! She’s Luke's woman! The two of us will be doomed if something happens to her. On top of that, the boss isn’t planning to kill her. If you don't help her stop the bleeding and she dies, how are we going to explain it to him? If Luke comes after us, the nature of our crime will change."

Kidnapping and murder were different crimes.

Derek thought that what Eric said made sense, so he stood up immediately. "Damn, if I had known that I could slap her as much as I wanted today, I wouldn’t have done it yesterday. At least there’d be no trauma and it won’t be as troublesome."

He knew that she would not die from getting slapped but she might die if her forehead wound kept bleeding.

It took a lot from them the night before to help Luca stop the bleeding. Now that Pierre had tortured her, they were afraid there would be more blood.

Derek walked into the room with Eric. They saw that Luca was still lying on the bed, unresponsive.

She was still bleeding from the wound on her forehead.

The blood from the wound ran down her temples and dripped onto the bed.

Eric quickly picked up some tissues nearby and pressed on her wound.

The tissues were quickly soaked with blood, and he got more.

He went back and forth like this. He pressed on her wound for more than ten minutes before the bleeding stopped. Derek looked at the pile of blood-stained tissues on the floor and said, "How annoying! Why is this woman so weak?"

He had never met someone who could bleed so much.

Eric looked at Luca's swollen and pale lips. He kept silent and picked up the iodophor on the side to disinfect her wound.

"I hope the boss won't torture this woman tomorrow. Otherwise, she won’t have enough blood left," he said.
