Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1707

“What happened? What did Luke say?” Nina asked caringly. Ever since she had addressed him impolitely as Luke in front of Luca, she took it casually after that.

"The cleaning lady couldn’t find me and she didn't know what ingredients she should buy. That's why she tried to reach me through him," Luca explained without mentioning that there was something wrong with his tone.

Nina remembered that her fridge was empty and there were no ingredients. Naturally, there was also no cleaning lady who helped her to buy ingredients. She suddenly felt embarrassed.

Nina stood up and said, "That reminds me of my empty fridge. Wait for me. Let me get some ingredients now."

“Nina, there’s no need to. Let’s dine somewhere else.” Luca grabbed her hand. She could feel Nina’s condition after having been medically trained for a long time.

For example, she could feel that Nina’s legs could hardly walk now.

Nina nodded when she said that. "Alright. If you're too lazy to go out, we can order takeaway. After all, there's nothing much to do in the office these few days. Besides, you're still on leave. Let's experience the fun of being a homebody. "

“Alright.” Luca nodded. She could get along with Nina naturally when she was together with her. She liked this kind of stress-free friendship.

Nina’s phone rang right after Luca said that. She picked it up and glanced at it. Her expression suddenly changed.

“What’s wrong?” Luca asked.

“My brother is being discharged from the hospital.” Nina handed the phone to Luca. “He’s getting discharged today.”

“Isn’t it great if he’s getting discharged from the hospital? You have one less person to take care of, and you have one less thing to be burdened with,” said Luca. After all, when Jean and Anna were staying in the hospital at the same time, Nina had to pay double the amount for caretaker expenses.

“I’d rather spend that amount of money rather than him getting discharged from the hospital.” Nina was troubled. Once Jean was discharged from the hospital, he would definitely go around causing trouble. He requested to stay at her place in the message he sent to her, claiming that his body was still weak and he needed someone to take care of him.

How could she not know about his tricks?

Jean must have heard that she was renting a unit in a high-end apartment, and that was why he wanted to get a slice of the cake. He did not want to stay in that old house again.

If he really stayed here, he would not have to pay for anything, and he would be spending Nina’s money.

“But he’s asking me to let him stay here.” Nina’s fingers tapped on the screen quickly as she turned down Jean’s request. “Am I crazy? He shouldn’t even think of staying here.”

“Yeah.” Luca nodded. It would only bring misfortune to Nina if Jean stayed here. She disagreed with it too.

After Nina sent the message, Jean called her not long after that. He yelled at her, “Nina, do you have any conscience left in you, you b*tch? I donated my liver to our mother. I’m still very weak, and the doctor wants me to get discharged. Who’s going to take care of you if you’re not doing it?”

Jean was loud. Even though Nina did not turn on the speaker, Luca, who was sitting beside her, could hear it clearly.

Nina listened to Luca. Although she was curious why Luke would tell Luca so much about Marie, she did not ask about the details. She nodded and said, "Yes, she was the one who made my brother like this. And there's my mother too. She used to be avaricious, but she made money using just and ethical means. But Marie scammed her, stole an apartment unit from my mother, and aborted my brother's child. Since then, my mother changed into a different person. She thought it was alright as long as she had money with her. Then, she slowly became like how she is now. She keeps asking for money from me and never stops spoiling my brother. Sometimes, I wonder if it weren’t for Marie, would my family be able to remain peaceful, even if it’s just on the outside? Marie was like a ticking bomb. She detonated everything in our family and made everyone show their true colors. Tell me, isn't a family like that scary to you?"

“I’m sorry.” Luca apologized.

“Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?” Nina was confused. She picked up the glass and took a sip of the juice. “You didn’t do anything wrong. It was Marie’s fault. She’s a liar.”

Luca smiled. Nina had no idea that if she had not brought Marie into Jean’s life, Jean would not have ended up like this today.

Marie was a sinner, but Luca was the one who brought Marie into their lives.

Nina realized it was going to be noontime. She picked up her phone and said, "I'm tired as well. Why don't we order takeaway today?"

“Sure.” Luca went along with her.

“What would you like to eat?” Nina leaned closer to her. The two of them looked at Nina’s phone together.

"I'm fine with anything. You can order first. I'll pick what I want later." Luca was not picky with food.
