Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1720

“Yes, I said that too.” Queenie was busy admiring Luca’s beauty. Luca had always dressed up casually, and she looked pretty even then. Now that she was all dolled up, she was even more stunning. She could not help but compliment Luca.

“Thank you. You look great too.” Luca felt embarrassed receiving compliments from them. She lowered her head a little and looked down.

Wanda laughed and took a sip of the red wine before saying, "Luca, let me tell you something. My father has been taking the medicine you prescribed and using the herbal concoction to soak his feet in. He feels a lot more comfortable now. He can sleep early every night without waking up in the middle of the night all of a sudden. He'll only wake up around six in the morning. You're amazing."

Luca nodded as she listened to Wanda’s feedback.

She already knew that her prescription would have long-term effects on Old Master Rayne. That was why she was not surprised to hear that when Wanda told her about it.

Queenie, who was listening, said in surprise, “Did Luca treat Old Master Rayne?”

"Yes! It’s all thanks to Luke for bringing her over. After she checked his pulse, she gave him a prescription. The medicine works effectively. He's been taking the medicine for quite some time now and is getting better. I seldom hear him complaining that he's in pain anymore. It’s unlike those medicines that he used to take. After he took them for a while, they no longer had an effect on him. I must say, Luca, you're very impressive." Wanda complimented Luca.

Luca looked at Queenie and thought of Leia.

Too many things had happened during this time and she forgot to ask about Leia’s situation. However, Queenie did not contact her either, so she reckoned that Leia’s situation should be under control. She asked, “Mrs. Norman, how’s the patient?”

She intentionally used the word ‘patient’ to refer to Leia as Wanda was here too.

Queenie smiled gratefully and replied, "The prescription you gave me is good. Her condition is much more stable now. It's a pity that this kind of illness is irreversible, so she can only take things one step at a time. We’ll see how things turn out."

Jack, who was standing beside her, heard what his wife said. He recalled what Luke had mentioned to him before. After that, Queenie mentioned to him that she thought of giving money to Leia to buy an organ from the black market.

He was outraged. Leia's condition was not that serious at first. She would have recovered if she was willing to take the medicine that Luca prescribed. Leia was the one who got herself into her current situation.

Jack talked to Queenie after knowing what she had in mind. He regained control over the family’s finances. He did not give her a chance to be soft-hearted.

At the same time, he warned the two elders in the house not to have a soft spot for Leia. The Norman family's reputation would be ruined if they fell for it.

Luca noticed that something was wrong with Jack's expression and thought it might be because of Leia. She should not be asking, but she could not help herself and asked with concern, "Mr. Norman, what's on your mind?"

“I guess everything was doomed to be this way. If she was willing to take the prescription you gave her from the beginning, things wouldn’t have turned out this bad, right, Luca?” Although Jack was furious with Leia, he was still kind to Luca.

After all, after she saved Queenie, she had left a good impression on him. With time, it only got better and better.

“That’s right, but things have come this far. If she can recover her health after she’s discharged from the hospital, it wouldn’t be too difficult for her in the future,” Luca answered.

Queenie let out a sigh.

She had initially thought of getting a new organ for Leia, but it was impossible when she thought of it now. She was worried that she would put Jack in a difficult position because of her soft-heartedness, which was why she agreed to let him manage the family’s finances now.

Her daughter was important to her. However, the man she had spent her whole life with was much more important to her.

Luca took Queenie’s hands and comforted her in a soft voice, “She’ll get better.”

Queenie held her hands too. She felt warmth surging in her heart. She smiled and nodded her head.
