Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1728

Anna was worried that Nina would get killed if she refused to listen to Pierre. What would happen to them if she was gone?

Anna only felt assured after Jean guaranteed that Pierre would not do anything to Nina.

After Nina left the ward, she did not leave the hospital immediately. Instead, she sat in the hospital’s garden, looking depressed.

When Johann passed by the garden after sending off a patient who just got discharged from the hospital, he happened to run into Nina who was sitting there. He walked toward her curiously and greeted her, “Ms. Nina, what a coincidence. What brings you here?”

"Oh, Dr. Park. What a coincidence," Nina greeted him gloomily.

Johann noticed that something was wrong and asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you look down?”

“Nothing. Do I look down? It’s probably because I didn’t sleep well last night,” replied Nina as she touched her face.

“It doesn’t look like you didn’t get enough rest. You seem preoccupied. Is it because of your mother’s illness…” Johann asked. He had been busy these days. He had yet to have time to check on Anna’s condition.

Nina shook her head and said, “My mother is doing fine. Nothing happened.”

“Then…” Johann continued to ask.

Nina lifted her head, glanced at the sky, and asked, "Dr. Park, aren't you busy?"

“I am. I have to perform another surgery in half an hour,” Johann answered honestly. If he had not noticed her sitting alone here, he would have returned to his office.

After all, he and Nina knew each other. That was why he came over to ask about her wellbeing, hoping that he could lend a hand.

Nina smiled and said, “Hurry up and get ready, then.”

There was nothing that Johann could do since she refused to tell him. He comforted her, saying, "If something is troubling you, talk to a friend and you'll feel better."

Nina nodded and replied, “I will.”

Johann stood up and left.

Nina looked at Johann from behind as he walked away. Suddenly, Luca came into her mind. The only person who would listen to her now was Luca, right?

She called Luca.

Luca was assigning tasks to the researchers in the lab. She had spent an hour looking into the progress of the experiment that they had been working on. Then, she continued to guide the following experiments.

Her phone rang. She glanced at it and said, “Give me a minute.”

The researchers nodded.

Luca answered Nina’s call and asked in a low voice, “Nina, what’s the matter?”

Nina noticed that there was something wrong with her tone and asked, “Luca, am I disturbing you?”

“I just got back to work today. I’m not that busy though. What’s wrong?” Luca asked patiently.

Nina smiled bitterly. Luca had just returned to work today. How could she possibly be free? She lowered her voice as she spoke, so Nina thought there were probably people around Luca.

Even though she could not release the anguish in her heart, she said, “It's nothing. I just wanted to ask you out for lunch, but I didn't know you'd gone back to work. It's alright, then. I'll let you get back to work."

Luca could sense that something was wrong with her tone. She said, “Why don’t we have dinner together tonight?”

Nina wanted to say yes, but she had to meet Pierre later in the evening. She replied, “I’m busy tonight. Maybe some other time.”
