Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1647

Mrs. Nancy looked at Luke’s reply and muttered to herself, “Tomato soup? Mrs. Crawford used to love tomato soup.”

She put her phone down and began to prepare.

Mr. Griffin came in and heard Mrs. Nancy muttered to herself by accident. He warned her in a low voice, saying, “You can’t say anything like that here.”

Mrs. Nancy was startled. She thought of the reason why she was not allowed to do so. However, she was just a staff, after all. If her superior told her not to do something, she had no right to ask why either. She nodded hurriedly. “Okay. I understand, Mr. Griffin.”

Pierre headed to the hospital after he left the police station.

He bought a fruit basket and was downstairs at the hospital. He asked where Luca’s ward was. Then, he pushed the door open and walked in.

May stood up and looked at the man who was dressed like a thug. Even so, she was holding a fruit basket. She was on alert and asked, "Who are you?"

"I came to visit Luca." Pierre did not give a damn about May. He thought there would be a few guards guarding the ward judging from how much Luke was concerned about Luca.

He was surprised to see that there was not even a security guard here. There was no one else in the ward either, just a harmless caretaker.

“Oh, you’re Ms. Craw’s friend, right?” May looked at Luca, who was still asleep. She went closer to wake her up. “Ms. Craw, Ms. Craw.”

Luca felt groggy. It was probably because of the medicine. She could barely stay awake.

After she was called out by May, she forced herself to wake up. She picked up her phone and typed a message: [What's the matter?]

“A man came to see you. He claims to be your friend and he's here to visit you,” replied May.

Luca looked in the direction where May was looking. Her eyes darkened when she saw Pierre.

How dare this man show up here…

However, it was true that he had nothing to be afraid of. After all, the two suspects had shouldered all responsibility for him. He would not have to bear any responsibilities if everything went smoothly.

“Luca, are you alright?” Pierre looked at her swollen face and grinned. This was his masterpiece, and of course, he had to take a good look at it.

Luca looked down and typed on her phone.

May was explaining beside her. “Ms. Craw can’t talk now. She can only communicate through the phone.”

Pierre nodded and said, “I understand. She’s seriously injured, and she has to focus on recovering her injuries. Otherwise, her face will be disfigured and it’ll be difficult for her to hook up with someone else.”

Luca knew what he meant when she listened to his words that carried a trace of mockery.

He must think that something was going on between her and Luke. That was why he said that intentionally.

She replied to him on her phone: [It’s not a big deal. Thank you for your concern.]

Pierre leaned closer to look at her. It was not a big deal? How stubborn. Then, he said, “The police officer told me that the kidnapper held you captive in my villa. I was renting out my villa and I didn’t ask them what they were using it for. I’m sorry that this happened to you.”

[Mr. Mallory, why are you apologizing to me? It can't be that you're involved too, right?] Luca provoked him. His apology sounded insincere, and of course, she would not take it seriously.

Pierre shook his head and replied, “If I were involved in this, would the police have released me? If that was true, I’d never be able to get out of there. Although I’m not involved in this, I’m still partly responsible. After all, it was my villa. That’s why I came here to apologize to you. And I’m setting up a subsidiary company. It’s a pharmaceutical company too. If you intend to leave Luke, my company will always welcome you. After all, I’m different from Luke. I don’t have so many enemies in A City.”

Luca listened to Pierre offering her an olive branch in passing. Her expression turned gloomy as she rejected him right away. [I’m not planning to move to another company.]

Pierre looked at the sentence she typed on her phone, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Don't be so sure about that. You've suffered so much because of Luke's project. There are many more who are going to target you next time. I'm different. I love peace. You should really think about it."
