Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1652

Nina sat in the chair and chatted with her. "Nothing good happens whenever he’s around. He said he wanted to work with Brilliant Architectural Design LLC."

"Work with your company?" Luca frowned slightly and accidentally tugged on the wound. She raised her hand to touch it subconsciously and moaned in pain.

Nina panicked, asking, "What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?"

Luca shifted her attention from the pain and shook her head. "It's okay. It doesn't hurt."

Nina saw that Luca’s bandage was still snow-white and there was no blood oozing out. She said, "You must be careful. Restrain your expressions before the wound heals, or it might leave a scar."

Luca felt a surge of warmth from her nagging. She continued the topic that they were on just now. "Why did he propose a partnership?"

"He said that his company has just been established and the capabilities of his design department are still lacking, so he wants to hire an agency. I think he’s deliberately picking a fight. Why would he want to engage with Brilliant Architectural Design LLC? The company was set up by Mr. Crawford's wife. She’s not actively involved now and everything is managed by Mr. Crawford. Don't you think that Pierre is making a scene so that his presence is felt?" Nina replied. She was filled with disgust whenever she talked about Pierre.

She thought of what Pierre had done. He was just a socialite who liked to play tricks but did not have many capabilities.

After this incident, all of his cards were revealed. Luca did not know if Luke and Percy knew about it earlier on, but when she found out, she was quite shocked.

She would be lying if she said that she was not the least bit terrified.

She held Nina's hand and warned her. "Pierre can't be taken lightly. You have to protect yourself, promise?"

Nina listened to her words and nodded in response. "I will, and you too..."

The two chatted for a while longer before Nina left.

Luca talked to her for quite some time and felt a little thirsty. She wanted to pour herself a glass of water. May immediately stepped forward when she saw this. "Ms. Craw, let me help you."

Luca watched as May poured water for her. She thought of how May had been taking care of her and how she was not afraid of Pierre when he was around. Luca suspected that she was not an ordinary nurse.

"May, you’re not a nurse in this hospital, are you?" She posed it as a question, but her tone seemed like she was sure.

May was stunned as she put down the water bottle. When she handed the cup of water to Luca, she had calmed down. She said with a smile, "Ms. Craw, if I’m not a nurse, why would Mr. Crawford have me take care of you?"

"You’re Mr. Crawford's subordinate, so he sent you to take care of me." Luca took the cup of water, put a straw in it, and drank some.

"I’m indeed his subordinate. After all, it was Mr. Crawford who hired me." May opted to be a little vague.

After hearing her say that, Luca was even more certain that May was Luke's subordinate.

It did not matter if she did not admit it. After all, she already knew the truth.

May was a little nervous when Luca did not respond. She was not sure what went wrong. ‘Why is she suspecting me out of the blue?’

Seeing that it was almost time, May picked up the medicines on the table and asked, "Ms. Craw, do you want to take your medicine now?"

Luca glanced at the time. When she was in the hospital, time felt like it passed slowly. All she did was eat and sleep. Even though she could get out of bed and walk around, she had nowhere to go.

The clothing she had on made it even more inconvenient.

Luca thought that it was not a bad idea for her to take her medicine now and rest earlier.

After Luca nodded, May divided the medicines. After Luca took them, she lay down on the bed.

Just then, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a text from Jason.

He was checking in to see how she was doing.
