Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1956

"Is that so? Get some rest after dinner. Food is ready," the maid said with a smile.

Luca felt that the maid was too involved. Maybe she was acting on Luke’s orders...

When she heard the maid say that food was ready, she went into the study and said to Luke, "Mr. Crawford, dinner is ready."

Luke nodded and picked up the thick stack of documents on the side. "Bring me the crutches."

When he was discharged from the hospital, the hospital nurses had thoughtfully provided him with crutches but he never used them because he thought that it was bad for his image.

Luca glanced at the documents in his hand and looked away casually, feeling a little guilty. She had seen the word ‘project’.

‘Is that the bidding document?’

She quickly hid her emotions and brought the crutches in the corner to Luke.

Luke's mood sank when he saw the metal crutches. He thought that he would never use the crutches until he recovered, but he did not expect to have to use them now.

Luca sighed to herself when she saw his reaction. It was as though he was forced to use the crutches.

"Mr. Crawford, where are you going?"

"Upstairs." Luke abruptly stood up using the crutches with the document in one hand.

Luca immediately stepped forward to help him for fear that he would lose his footing and fall.

Luke had the crutches under his armpits. The awkward feeling made him uncomfortable. He would not be using them if it were not for Luca's sake.

"Are you alright?" Luca asked with concern when she saw that he could stand up straight but was not moving.

"Let's go. Walk behind me and pay attention. I'm a little unstable." In front of Luca, he did not bother to maintain his image. He honestly told her that he was not familiar with using crutches.

"Okay." Luca nodded in agreement and followed behind him as she held her breath.

He lifted the injured leg, placed the crutches under his armpit, and moved forward step by step. "Is this meant for humans?"

"This is how medical crutches are..." Luca said. These were the best crutches that money could buy. He probably had not used them much, so he was not used to them.

If he could accept the crutches, he would not need to stay on the first floor.

“Grandpa's cane looks like it’d be easier to use compared to this." Luke was referring to Old Master Crawford's walking cane.

Luca knew what he was talking about. She had a feeling that Luke was especially chatty that day...

He struggled to walk upstairs with his crutches. Luca followed from behind, terrified.

She was scared that he would lose his foothold and lean back, so she was ready to catch him at any time

Fortunately, Luke made it to the second floor.

He stood at the entrance of his bedroom and raised his chin. "Help me open the door."

"Okay, Mr. Crawford," Luca said as she opened the door. It opened with a click, just like the sound it made when she opened the door just now. The only difference was that Luke was beside her this time.

She lowered her gaze and glanced at the document in his hand. ‘Is he going to put the document in the safe?’

Luke walked in with the help of his crutches. He closed the door but left a gap. He did it on purpose for Luca.

When the villa was being renovated, the second floor was made to have good soundproofing. If the door was completely closed, she would not be able to hear him opening the safe when she stood outside.

Luca turned her back to the door, but her ears were subconsciously listening to the sounds inside.

She heard Luke open the safe...
