Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1641

Luca pointed at her face helplessly to show him that it was inconvenient for her to drink it like this.

The man realized it and asked in a low voice, “Do you have a straw? Where is it?”

Luca pointed to the bedside cabinet.

The man opened the drawer and took a straw out. Then, he placed it in the vial, brought it to her mouth, and muttered in a low voice, “How troublesome.”

Luca ignored the man who scorned her and slowly took the antidote using the straw.

Previously, she would always finish the antidote in one gulp. No matter how bad it tasted, she was always able to finish it in one gulp. However, she could only suck it with a straw now. The bitterness of the antidote quickly spread out in her mouth.

The man shook the vial to check if it was emptied. After that, he kept the vial away.

“Boss asked me to pass you a message,” the man said.

Luca met his eyes in the dark. She remained silent and waited for him to continue his words.

“Your progress is too slow. He’s very unhappy about it. You know deep down in your heart what the consequences are if you continue to be like this.” The man walked out of the ward after that.

He ran into a nurse who came for a ward round when he pushed the door open.

The nurse was startled when she saw the man. She questioned, “Who are you? It’s past visiting hours now. How did you get in here?”

The man’s face turned gloomy. He looked at the nurse and thought of killing her. However, when he thought that his actions would cause trouble to the woman inside the ward, he pushed the nurse away and dashed out of the ward.

The nurse fell to the floor and assumed that the man was a thief. After all, this was a VIP ward. The hospital's reputation would be affected if a thief broke in and stole something. She got up and ran to the nurse’s station before she could check what had happened in the ward. She informed security that a thief had broken in.

Luca kept silent while she lay down on the bed and listened to the situation outside.

She was worried about what was happening out there, but she could not get up now. It would be best for her to pretend that she did not know anything about it.

Nina heard the noises outside and sat up. She looked at Luca unconsciously. “Is there a thief?”

Luca pretended as if she had just opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling blankly.

Nina was worried something might have happened to Luca. She walked to her bedside. “Luca, are you alright?”

[What happened?] Luca rubbed her eyes, showing her that she had just woken up.

“I don’t know. I heard the nurse claiming that a thief broke in. Let me see what’s going on.” Nina was assured when she saw that Luca was fine. When she heard a thief had broken in, the first thought that came into her mind was that Percy had sent someone to hurt Luca.

She walked out of the ward. The whole floor was in chaos. The caretakers of the other wards came out one after another to see what was going on.

The nurse hurriedly walked to her because the man had come out of this ward. She asked with concern, "Is everything alright in there?"

“We’re fine.” Nina was in a daze. Could it be that the thief had broken into their ward?

“A man with a cap walked out of this ward. Didn’t you hear any noises?” the nurse asked again.

Nina shook her head. She had already decided to accompany Luca in the hospital but it was difficult for her to fall asleep here when she already had trouble sleeping, so she got Sue to bring her some sleeping pills.

Not long after she took the pills and lay down on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.

She did not hear any noises.
