Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1867

After Nina sighed in her heart, she opened the bedroom door and walked out.

She checked in on the children one by one. They were all fast asleep, not awakened by their moving about.

Nina confirmed that they had not rolled out of bed, then closed the door and shook her head.

‘How could Luca have woken the children up when she was so careful all throughout?’

She returned to Luca's bedroom, closed the door, and said, "Don't worry, Lanie and the others are sound asleep. They didn’t roll off the bed."

Luca opened her eyes and looked at Nina. A slight smile appeared on her face. She knew that Nina was going to stay here tonight and did not want to turn her kind gesture down. She said, "I have a new blanket in my closet. If you want to sleep here, you can share the bed with me as long as you’re okay with the smell of blood on me."

"I don’t mind it, but I’m not going to sleep here tonight. I'm afraid that I’ll accidentally hurt you when I’m asleep. I'll sleep on the sofa. The sofa in your bedroom is the right size," Nina said. She opened Luca’s closet and took out the blanket.

Luca did not say anything. She knew that Nina wanted to stay only because she was worried about her.

"Thank you, Nina," she said.

"At times like these, you don't have to be polite with me. Rest early. You look very weak. You’ve lost so much blood. I’m sure you’re not feeling the best," Nina stepped forward and touched Luca's forehead. She was relieved to find that Luca did not have a fever.

"Mm, good night." Luca closed her eyes again. Nina was right. She had lost too much blood and was not doing well.

Nina watched her close her eyes and left a small night light on so that she could check in on her in the middle of the night.

The next day.

When Luca opened her eyes, the sun was up.

The sun rose later in winter. She glanced out the window and knew that she had woken up late.

She got up in a hurry and accidentally tugged on the wound. She could not help but frown. She was only thinking about preparing breakfast for the kids and forgot that she was injured…

Luca glanced at the bedroom. Nina was not there.

She got out of bed and lifted her nightdress in front of the full-length mirror. Looking at the gauze, she did not seem to have bled. The bleeding had probably stopped after she stitched her wound.

Luca carefully walked to the dresser, opened the drawer, took out the gauze and powder, and walked into the bathroom.

She carefully undid the gauze and glanced at the sutured wound. It was covered with scabs and looked like a centipede.

She was used to this kind of wound. She picked up a towel and soaked it in some hot water. She wrung it dry and wiped off the blood around the wound before slowly wiping the rest of her body as well.

She was used to these injuries from her days on the Island of Despair. Even though it slowed down her movements, she could handle everything herself.

After Luca wiped herself, she felt that the smell of blood on her body was fainter. She then sprinkled medicinal powder on the wound and wrapped it with gauze again.

She had to go to the office, so she deliberately wrapped an extra layer of gauze around the wound before she changed into her work clothes.

After she was done, Luca cleaned up a little and slowly walked downstairs.
