Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1966

“Okay, I got this. Don’t worry.” Mrs. Laurel agreed to help her to take care of Luke. Looking after Luke was one of her duties too, and that was why she readily agreed with it.

Luca was assured knowing that Mrs. Laurel would be taking care of Luke.

Mrs. Laurel was better at taking care of someone, but Luke insisted on asking Luca to take care of him…

Luca pushed Luke back to his bedroom after he finished bathing himself. Then, she helped him to dry his hair and took out a set of clean pajamas for him. She did not say a word the whole time.

Luke did not say anything either.

The two of them did not feel awkward despite the silence. Luca put the pajamas on the bed and left the room.

She had finally completed her task to take care of Luke today.

Mrs. Laurel had gotten off work at this hour.

Luca left a pot of warm water in the living room. Only then did she make her way up the stairs.

She received a message from Amur when she was back in her bedroom: [I’ve talked to the lab owner. You can come over tomorrow.]

[Alright. I got it.] Luca did not thank Amur this time to stop him from commenting on her behavior.

[What time will you be going there tomorrow?] Amur sent another message to ask Luca.

[I’ll probably arrive there early in the morning.] Luca gathered her hair and tied it up after she replied to his message. She was planning to wash up.

It was going to be another uphill battle starting tomorrow. She had to figure out what powder Abel had put on the knife within three days to get the cure.

She had no choice but to wait until she came back from Russia if she was unable to figure it out three days later.

However, she had no idea how long she was going to stay in Russia. That was why she had to make it fast.

[Okay. I’ll be waiting for you there.] Amur replied to her.

Luca read his message and did not reply to him. She had to hurry up and get washed up. Only then could she get some rest.

The following day.

Luca woke up early. She changed into warm clothes, picked up the sample, and headed downstairs.

Mrs. Laurel happened to enter the living room as soon as Luca reached the first floor.

"Ms. Luca, you're early." Mrs. Laurel glanced at the time. It was only six-thirty in the morning. Then, she turned around and looked at her and the warm clothes she had put on. "Are you going out?"

Luca was usually still in bed at this hour.

“Yes, I’m going out.” Luca looked at the weather out there. The snow came late this year. Although the temperature was low out there, there was no snowfall.

“You haven’t had breakfast, right? Let me prepare it for you now,” said Mrs. Laurel, as she put down the grocery bag.

“It’s alright, Mrs. Laurel. I’ll grab something to eat when I’m out there. And I’m not coming back for lunch today. You don’t have to prepare my portion,” said Luca. The laboratory was quite far away from the villa, and it was near the suburbs. She thought she would probably not come home for lunch.

“Alright. Travel safe,” replied Mrs. Laurel.

Luca nodded. She put on a scarf and walked out of the villa.

It was cold in the morning. She exhaled and released some breath vapor. She headed to the garage.

Luca chose to drive to the laboratory since she was not carrying out a secret mission. Besides, it was difficult for her to hail a ride early in the morning.

She would just be going to the laboratory. Luke would not be able to find out anything even if he found the dashcam video footage in her car.

Luca started the car engine and left. She was going to drive on an unfamiliar road, so she turned on the navigation and headed to the laboratory.

Not many cars were driving on the road in the morning. She drove all the way to the suburban area, and it took her an hour to arrive there.

Amur was already waiting for her at the laboratory’s entrance.

Luca found the parking lot and parked her car. Then, she walked toward Amur and said, “Why are you so early?”

"I came from the apartment and arrived here faster than you did," said Amur. He deliberately departed from the apartment at five-thirty in the morning to wait for Luca here.
