Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2022

Luca had never given up the thought of saving her daughter all along.

However, it was only now that she realized that there was no way she could do this alone.

She could not depend on her strength. There was no way she could fight against Abel alone. Every word and every move she made was made known to Abel.

Luca needed support from others so that she could fight him. However, who could support her?

Luca knew she could only do this alone. There was no one else…

Knock, knock. someone was knocking on the door. Luca lifted her head in grievance and suppressed the urge to cry. Only then did she ask, "Who is it?"

“Luca, it’s me, Vivian.” Vivian’s voice came from outside the door.

Luca sniffed and walked to the door. She opened the door and said, “Vivian, what’s the matter?”

Vivian was carrying a set of clothes in her hands. She gave Luca a shy smile and explained, “I thought you might need these, so I came to give them to you. They’re all new. Don’t worry.”

Luca took the clothes Vivian handed to her. It was a set of warm pajamas.

“Thank you. Sorry to bother you tonight.” Luca thanked her.

“Don’t mention it. You’re our honorable guest. This is just something I should be doing,” Vivian smiled and said. Then, she noticed that something was wrong with Luca’s expression. Her eyes were red and puffy, so she asked, “Luca, were you crying?”

"No." Luca shook her head, pretending as if nothing had happened.

She had been pretending to be strong in front of others for a long time. It was an easy task for her.

“But your eyes are red. You can tell me if you feel upset. I promise I won’t tell anyone about it.” Vivian thought Luca was worried that she would reveal her secret, so she gave Luca her word again.

It was because she had no other choice that she told Ray about Luca’s matter the last time.

“It’s true. I feel so happy today. T Corporation got the project, and everyone’s efforts paid off. Why would I cry on such a happy day? If I’m going to cry, it’d be tears of happiness,” Luca said a lot to make Vivian believe in her.

“Really?” Vivian looked at Luca with her blue eyes.

“Yes.” Luca continued to explain when Vivian refused to believe her, “My eyes are red because I’m feeling sleepy and my eyes are dry.”

“I see. Well, I should leave. Goodnight.” Vivian thought she was disturbing Luca and felt embarrassed.

Luca shook her head. She did not intend to continue to explain to Vivian even though she had misunderstood her.

"I'm leaving first. Oh, if there's anything you need, just pick up the phone receiver at your bedside and press one. The maids who are on duty will pick up the call. And the guards on duty will answer the call if you press two." Vivian turned around and left after that.

Luca closed the door and looked at the pajamas she was holding. She pondered for a moment and changed into the pajamas. Then, she lay down on the bed.

She would still have to stay in this villa even if her thoughts were all over her mind.

Moreover, Luke would not be making any moves. Hence, she did not have to speculate what Luke was going to do. She closed her eyes and planned to take a nap.

Luca had to force herself to rest for a while no matter what.

She was stressed out all day long, and she needed to rest.

In the villa's living room.

Luke and Ray were discussing something

Vivian walked toward them. Ray asked, “Have you finished making the arrangements?”

“Yes. I’ve already handed the pajamas to Mr. Doyle and Luca. Brother Luke, I asked the maid to leave a set of new pajamas for you on the sofa in your room. You can change into that later,” said Vivian.
