Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1676

On the other hand.

Luke got two calls when he was dealing with urgent company matters.

One of the calls was from Johann, who told him that Leia had the idea of illegally buying organs from the black market.

The other call was from Allison's lawyer. He received a notice confirming that Allison would be released from prison next Monday.

The coming Monday was four days from then.

Four days later, Allison would be released from prison. In her current situation, she would definitely cause trouble when she returned to Crawford Manor.

Luke hung up after he told the lawyer that he would arrange for someone to pick her up from prison.

He called Johann after and asked, "Do you have any good plastic surgeons to recommend?"

Johann knew who he was asking for and immediately said, "The best has already said that your mother's face can't be fixed with surgery. There’s no way to cure her even if we can get a good doctor. If someone says she can be cured, he or she must be a swashbuckling liar."

Luke was silent. Allison had been using Luca’s concoction.

The lawyer conveyed her words and told Luke that the herbal medicine did help her face but it could not smooth the wrinkles. Even though there were no new creases, Allison was still not satisfied.

They all knew that Allison's face could not be saved, so she was stirring things up because she refused to accept the fact...

Luke hung up the phone and wondered what kind of arrangement he should make for Allison so that she would not cause any more trouble when she got out of prison.

That was more difficult than finishing the current project.

Deep into the night...

While Luca was working on the antidote, the main door was pushed open.

She paused for a moment and hurriedly put away the things. The person who came in was probably Luke. She did not want him to see too much.

Just as she finished packing, Luke arrived at the maid's room.

Luca did not close the door so when he came over, he happened to see Luca holding a glass tube in her hand.

Luke asked, "What is this?"

Luca glanced at the tube in her hand and said, "This is a private research of mine."

Luke did not say anything and just stared at her deeply.

Luca thought that he might have misunderstood. Perhaps he thought she had taken the company’s research outside the office, so she explained, "This research has nothing to do with the company's research. It's purely a topic I’d like to understand more on."

"I know you didn’t bring the company's research out from the office. Don't be nervous," Luke said.

Luca nodded, held the tube, and wanted to walk out the door. However, Luke was blocking her so she could not go out. She said, "Uh, Mr. Crawford, can you let me go out?"

Luke turned sideways.

Luca walked past him and smelled alcohol on him. She blinked.

He was not a casual drinker because he would not be able to handle his work efficiently if he drank.

‘Did he have to socialize?’

Luca thought to herself, then looked at him. "Mr. Crawford, have you been drinking?"

"I was a little upset so I drank some wine," Luke said. He would not share his emotions with people he did not care about. However, Luca was not an insignificant person.
