Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1965

Luke thought the only explanation that made sense was Luca's experiment must be kept secret.

The research she had been working on now was probably related to what was manipulating her.

Luke tapped his index finger on the armrest of the wheelchair. He looked like he was deep in thought.

Mrs. Laurel returned to the kitchen and continued her work without disturbing him.

At night.

Luca did not continue with her research as her equipment was not good enough. That was why she went downstairs to have dinner when Mrs. Laurel informed her that dinner was ready.

Luke would certainly ask Mrs. Laurel to bring her dinner upstairs if Luca did not go downstairs to have dinner.

Luca did not want to be given special treatment.

Neither of them spoke a word when they were having dinner.

Luca’s phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at it, and after making sure that it was Amur who was calling her, she unconsciously turned to look in the direction where Luke was sitting. She said in a soft voice, “Please excuse me. I’m going to answer the call.”

Luke did not say a word.

Luca took her phone and left the dining room. She did not have to conceal her conversation with Amur. Hence, she did not walk far away from the kitchen and answered the call in the living room.

“Amur, how did it go?”

"I went to visit the two labs that are available for rent. The first one has much more advanced facilities than the second one. But the price is much higher as well. Also, the owner of the first lab told me that he only rents it out on a monthly basis, so he's not accepting daily rentals. The second lab accepts daily rental," said Amur. He had gone around asking for the details as he knew Luca would only need a few days to figure out what drug Abel had given her.

Hence, it was not worth it if Luca had to rent the lab for a month.

“It’s alright. Let’s just go for the first one.” Luca made up her mind. It did not matter how much she would have to pay as long as the facilities were advanced enough. “Can you help me to reserve it now?”

“I’ve asked for both the owners’ contact numbers. Are you sure you’d like to book the first one? I can contact the owner and get it done now. You can come over here to do the experiments once the contract has been signed.” Amur respected Luca’s choice.

They did not have to worry about money when they had such skills and capabilities.

“Alright. The sooner the better. Thank you,” said Luca.

Amur knew she could not wait any longer to heal her wound. He agreed to help her settle this as soon as possible, then he said helplessly, “Luca, you don’t have to be so polite with me.”

Luca blinked her eyes. Was this considered polite?

No, it was just her manners. “Amur, this is courtesy. And I’m sorry to be troubling you.”

Amur let out a sigh. “Alright. I’ll call the owner now. I’ll go over to lend you a hand as well.”

He refused to miss out on any chances of being together with Luca alone.

Luke was busy with his work, so he would definitely not help Luca. Moreover, he did not know about Luca’s wound. Therefore, Luca would probably go to the laboratory alone tomorrow.

Luca did not reject Amur’s offer to help. She walked back to the dining room after she hung up the call.

Luke was still sitting at the dining table having his dinner with an indifferent look on his face.

Luca sat down and continued to eat her dinner. She did not mention anything about renting the laboratory.

Mrs. Laurel was cleaning up the table after dinner. Luca sat there with her eyes on Luke.

She had to head to the laboratory tomorrow, so she had to ask his permission to take leave.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Luke was straightforward. He could see that Luca was trying to tell him something with just a glance.

Luca nodded, took a deep breath, and said, “Mr. Crawford, I’d like to take a day off tomorrow. And I might need to take another day off—”

Luke frowned slightly. Did it mean she was going to take a couple of days off?
