Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2020

Luca stared at the gleam in Vivian's eyes. She knew Vivian was just reminiscing about the past to conceal her sorrows.

Luca felt more deeply when she was able to understand how Vivian felt.

She could not bear to leave Luke too, but she had to face the cruel reality. What could she do even if she was reluctant to leave him?

“It would be enough as long as the memories are kept in our minds,” Luca said in a soft, gentle voice, comforting Vivian and herself.

It was enough for Luca that she once used to live happily together with Luke.

Vivian gazed at Luca. What Luca said was right, and there was no way she could refute it.

“Luca…” Vivian could feel that the woman in front of her had been through a lot. Her sigh was filled with true feelings.

However, she was almost the same age as her …

"Saying goodbye to someone means a new beginning in your life. Be happy." Luca added as she looked at the huge screen and the high-end sound system.

Luca knew it would be great to watch a movie here.

“You’re right.” Vivian nodded. She still could not get Gordan out of her mind now, but it was indeed a new beginning in her life.

Vivian looked at Luca's pretty face and recalled what she had promised her back then. She was forced to tell Ray about their promise to save Luca.

It was a good chance for her to apologize now.

“Luca, I’m sorry.” Vivian looked down and apologized.

Luca frowned and looked at her. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

"It's about the time you asked me to look for Amphotericin B. I promised to keep it a secret. After Ray told me that you were sent to the hospital due to a wound inflammation and finding out that you were in a critical condition, I told Ray about what you're looking for. Then, Ray informed Brother Luke. I'm sorry, I didn't keep my promise," explained Vivian. She sounded sincere and wanted Luca's forgiveness.

"I don't blame you," replied Luca. Speaking of this, Luca would like to thank Vivian for telling him.

If it had not been for her, Luca had no idea how long the hospital would take to figure out what was responsible for causing the wound infection.

After all, other antibiotics did not work on her except for Amphotericin B.

"You don’t blame me?" Vivian thought Luca would get angry as Luca looked like the kind of woman who was cold, strong, and capable instead of an understanding woman.

Vivian lifted her head and looked at the woman in front of her. Luca was not putting on a show. It seemed like she had forgiven her.

“If it weren’t for you, I’d probably still be lying in the hospital.” Luca smiled bitterly.

“No, you wouldn’t. Ray had already contacted other doctors in a different hospital. They’re the best doctors in Russia. You’d still be fine even if I hadn’t told them about it,” said Vivian.

Luca shook her head.

Even the best doctors would need time to study and analyze the issue with her. The high fever might have caused brain damage by the time they figured out what medicine they should use.

Once the inflammation caused a high fever, normal antipyretics could not help to reduce the fever.

Luca shook her head without explaining.

Vivian knew there were certain things that Luca was reluctant to say, so she stopped asking questions. That was when the maid pushed the door open and walked into the private theater. She said respectfully, “Ms. Vivian, Ms. Craw, dinner is ready. Please make your way to the dining room.”

Luca stood up. Vivian suddenly held her hand and said, “Come on, let me lead you there.”

“Yes. And there’s your favorite cake,” Ray nodded and replied.

Luca looked at Ray. She could see how much Ray pampered Vivian from his simple words.

Although Ray was the younger brother and Vivian was the younger sister, the way they got along was more like an elder brother and his younger brother.

It reminded Luca of Lanie, Rainie, and Tommy. She hoped that the two brothers would protect Rainie just like how Ray protected Vivian.

“That’s great.” Vivian nodded and turned around to look at Luca. “Luca, you must try the black forest mousse cake made by the chef. It’s so good. I’ve been eating it for several days now.”

“Sure.” Luca nodded.

Vivian added, “You won’t get sick of it. In fact, you’ll get addicted to it.”

The maids served the desserts once Vivian said that. Ray watched one of the maids place a portion of black forest mousse in front of him. He said, “Give it to Ms. Vivian.”

“Alright, Young Master Ray.” The maid placed the cakes in front of Luca and Vivian. The maid then said, “Young Master Ray, the weather forecast just said that there’ll be a snowstorm an hour later. Do we have to tidy up the guest rooms for the guests to stay the night?”

Driving at night during a snowstorm was very dangerous.

That was why the maid reminded him. They could prepare the guest rooms in advance if the guests were to stay here overnight.

“Snowstorm?” Ray frowned.

Vivian put down her fork and frowned too. “It’s too dangerous for them to drive back in a snowstorm. Brother Luke, Luca, Mr. Doyle, why don’t you stay here for the night? You can wait until it isn’t snowing too heavily and after they’ve cleaned up the snow on the street.”

Luke turned to look at Luca. It did not matter to him as he had already gotten M Group’s project. There was no urgent matter at hand that required him to return to the hotel tonight.
