Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1874

Luca could clearly hear the voice that came from the other end of the phone call. She said immediately, “It sounds serious. You’d better get going.”

“What about you…” Nina was worried about leaving Luca alone at home.

“I’m fine. Look at me. I was fine last night, so nothing else will happen tonight. Don’t worry. Family is most important.” Luca convinced her.

Nina pursed her lips. Something might happen to Jean at the hospital if Nina did not show up.

She had no choice but to head to the hospital. “I’m going to the hospital, then. Remember to call me if anything happens here.”

“Don’t worry. Nothing is going to happen. Oh, you’d better inform Mr. Mallory about this.” Luca reminded her. “Percy is someone with high social status. The hospital and police officers will cut Jean some slack even if something has happened.”

"I got it," Nina replied. Then, she turned around and left.

Luca slowly walked toward the door. She watched Nina leave the villa through the glass window, and she let out a sigh.

Nina could finally live in peace, but Jean messed it all up.

What a troublemaker…

Luca carried her briefcase and laptop before slowly walking up.

It was a two-story villa, so there was no elevator installed. She could only make her way up the stairs step by step.

The wound was hurting, but Luca endured the pain and continued to head upstairs.

She slowly walked up to the second floor. When she was about to let out a sigh of relief,

Tommy walked out of Lanie’s bedroom and saw Luca. He dashed toward her, thinking of giving Luca a big hug.

“Ms. Luca!”

Luca saw through Tommy's gestures. Normally, Luca would be fine with it. However, if Tommy gave her such an aggressive hug now, her would surely tear open.

Luca unconsciously dodged when she saw the child running toward her.

Tommy noticed that Luca was avoiding him. He was stunned as he suddenly stopped running. He looked at Luca with an aggrieved look on his face, “Ms. Luca…”

Luca secretly sighed when she saw the child almost bursting into tears. She had no idea whom this child had taken after. She did not want him to jump on her, but she felt sorry for making him disappointed.

“Tommy, I’m not feeling well. My bones will fall apart if you rush into my arms like that,” Luca explained. Tommy had already grown up a little, so he should be able to understand her explanation.

Tommy listened to Luca's explanation, and only then did he suppress his urge to cry. He said in an aggrieved tone, "Ms. Luca, you don't hate me, right?"

"Of course not. Have you ended the video call with your daddy?" Luca asked. She carried her things with another hand and wiped Tommy's face with her free hand.

Tommy was such a crybaby. There were still tears in the corners of his eyes.

“Yes. Daddy went back to work again. He’s so busy.” Tommy looked at the things Luca was carrying in her other hand. He said in his childish voice, “Ms. Luca, are you going to work too?”

"Yes. Your daddy is busy working, so I'll have to work too." Luca realized that she had successfully patched things up with Tommy, so she pushed her bedroom door open.

Tommy tagged along behind Luca like a clingy little boy. He noticed that Nina was nowhere to be seen, so he asked Luca, “Ms. Luca, where’s Godmother?”

“Something came up and she left. It’s late. Hurry up and take a shower. You should be resting now.”

Tommy nodded obediently. He knew Luca had to work, so he dared not disturb her. He turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

Luca let out a sigh as she watched Tommy leave. She placed the briefcase and laptop on the desk before gently touching her wound that was still hurting.
