Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1905

“Isn’t your brother back here? Let him pay the fees,” said Luke. He mentioned Amur on purpose.

Luca nodded and glanced at Luke. Then, she stood up and said, “Mr. Crawford, I’m going out to make a call.”

Luca walked out of the ward before Luke could say anything.

Luca leaned on the wall. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

It was difficult for her to lie to Luke.

Luca touched where her wound was with one of her hands. She reckoned that she would have to return to the mansion to get some medicine. She could not ask someone to get it for her as this was a personal matter.

“It’s you.” After Luca calmed herself down, she heard a voice when she was about to return to the ward.

Luca looked in the direction where the voice was coming from. With her good memory, she was able to recognize that person as the relative of the man whom Jean had injured.

It was the man who threatened Nina this morning.

“Can I help you?” Luca replied with a cold tone of voice. If it were not for Nina, she would not have been bothered to entertain this person who had been rude to Nina.

Keith was sizing Luca up. This woman was prettier than Nina.

Besides, Keith’s aunt told him that this woman had followed Nina into the ward to visit Tyrone. She thought Luca was perhaps related to Nina.

“Do you recognize me?” Luca had caught Keith’s interest. Keith thought that he would be able to pursue the woman in front of him even if he could not get Nina.

“The ward next door.” Luca pointed at the ward opposite her.

“Yes. You’ve got a good memory. Oh, you’re here for…" Keith noticed that Luca's hand was on the doorknob. "Is the person inside one of your relatives?"

"It's my boss," replied Luca. She could not be considered Luke's relative due to her identity now.

“So, the person in there is your boss. Are you working as a caretaker?” Keith immediately thought that Luca was working as a full-time caretaker. That was why Nina knew her.

After all, the man who supported Nina allowed her to easily arrange a VIP ward for Nina. It must be easy for Nina to enter VIP wards considering how she was relying on such a wealthy man. That was probably how Nina got to know a caretaker like Luca.

“What’s the matter?” Luca did not feel like talking to the man in front of her.

“It’s nothing important. I was wondering how much you charge per day. We’re planning to get a caretaker for the person staying in this ward, my cousin. That’s why I want to ask you whether you’re interested in the opportunity. The fees won’t be a problem. We can afford it anyway.” Keith deliberately pretended to sound like a deep-pocketed man, thinking that Luca would agree with this.

After all, there were no contracts between the employer and caretakers. Hence, caretakers would certainly choose the party who offered more money.

Keith refused to believe that Luca would miss out on such a good chance to earn some money.

"I'm not interested," said Luca. Even though she knew Keith had misunderstood what her job was, she did not explain it to him either. "You can ask the nurse if you're looking for a caretaker. They know some professional caretakers. Judging by your cousin's condition, it'd be better for you to look for a professional caretaker to take care of him."

“Aren’t you professional enough?” Keith insisted on hiring her. “We can afford to pay as much as you want. We’re rich.”

“Stop talking so loud outside the wards. You’re disturbing the others,” said Luca. She pushed the door open and walked into the ward.

Keith was curious and wanted to take a look inside the ward. What kind of person could make Luca loyal to them?

However, Luca closed the door relentlessly. She even pulled the curtains of the window on the door to prevent Keith from peeking inside.

Keith did not manage to catch a glimpse. He could not help but feel embarrassed, and he muttered to himself in a low voice, "What's so great about that? You're just a f*cking caretaker. How dare you look down on me?! Just wait and see how much money we can get from that woman when Tyrone recovers. You won't be good enough for me when the time comes!"

Luke watched Luca walk into the ward. Even though the soundproofing of the ward was good enough, he could still hear the noises outside the door.

Luca could not hear anything once the door was closed. She could not help but wonder. She came here to gather intelligence, but she took the initiative to excuse herself. At the end of the day, she still refused to do anything that would harm Luke.

Johann came over and saw Luca standing outside the door. He asked, “Dr. Craw, why are you standing here alone?”

“Mr. Doyle is reporting to Mr. Crawford in there,” explained Luca.

Johann was a wise man. He nodded and waited outside the door together with her.

“How is Luke feeling this afternoon?” Johann asked.

Johann did not come to see Luke for the whole afternoon. It was not that he was not worried about Luke. It was just that he was so busy that he could barely find any time to come over.

Johann hurried over here once he finished performing an operation and after he handed over the rest of the tasks.

“He napped for an hour and a half after he took the medicine. He’s feeling much better now, and he doesn’t feel dizzy anymore when he sits up straight,” reported Luca.

Johann nodded and asked, “What’s wrong with your waist?”

Luca looked at him, puzzled, “Nothing.”

“I noticed that you’ve been supporting your waist with your arm when you’re talking to me. Are you really okay?” Johann asked. He was pretty sure that it was not a habit of Luca’s. After all, she did not have this habit back then.

Johann could figure out what was wrong with patients by just observing them. It became his instinct after being a doctor for so many years. That was why Johann thought something must be wrong when Luca stood here with her hand supporting her waist.

Luca lowered her head and glanced at her hand.

She was unconsciously protecting the wound on her waist with her hand.
