Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2181

Luca let out a sigh helplessly. Nina was so close to living a happy life, but someone stabbed her in the back at this time.

Sue added, “I’m afraid that she might overthink now. After all, her past is her deepest wound. It’s cruel for someone to use this against her. That’s…”

Sue felt helpless and angry at the same time. There were no words that could describe how upset she was.

Luca did not know what to say either.

Although Percy protected Nina well, after their conversation last night, Luca could sense that Nina was still sensitive. She would still feel worried and insecure.

Now, such awful things had happened to her.

“Luca, is there anything we can do for her?” Sue was overwhelmed.

“Let’s show more concern for Nina. There’s nothing we can do about the reporters. Things aren’t as simple as they are. The reporters are looking for her now…” replied Luca. She knew what kind of people the Mallory family was. They were probably annoyed after getting exposed this time, thinking that Nina had brought shame to the Mallory family and ruined their reputation.

They might come looking for trouble.

“That’s all we can do for now.” Sue let out a deep sigh. There was a knock on her office’s door, and she said to Luca, “Luca, I have something to deal with. Talk to you later.”

“Okay.” After Luca hung up the call, she carefully browsed the news article again. She did not read the comments, but she knew what the others would be talking about even if she did not look at them.

Percy’s status was not lower than Luke’s in A City.

Percy insisted on being together with Nina. Many people were envious, displeased, and jealous of Nina.

There was no doubt that the netizens were criticizing Nina.

Luca shook her head helplessly while reading the news article.

Luca glanced at the time. She wanted to comfort Nina, but she had something more important things to do at hand. Hence, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Nina: [I saw the news. Are you okay?]

After Luca sent the message, only seconds passed before she received a reply from Nina: [I’m alright. Don’t worry.]

[I have to finish my experiment. I’ll look for you after this.] Luca replied. She knew Nina well. Even though Nina said she was fine, nothing was alright deep down in her heart.

Luca did not wait for Nina’s reply. She left her phone in the office. After putting on her white coat, she headed to the laboratory.

Her team of researchers was already in the laboratory getting ready to conduct the next stage of clinical trials.

Luca began to work after she greeted everyone.

They worked the whole morning until the afternoon.

They did not really leave the laboratory. Even their lunches were ordered by Zoey. They continued with the research after they ate their lunch in the staff room of the laboratory.

The data error had delayed their research progress too much. That was why they were racing against time, trying to catch up with the progress.

Moreover, Luca had promised to fulfill the request of Watson’s general manager.

When the office’s working hours ended, Luca walked out of the laboratory. She let the researchers get off work on time today as the research progress was going well.

Luca looked at her phone when she returned to her office.

There was only one unread message from Nina. She tapped on it and read the message. It was Nina’s reply to her message from this morning: [You don’t have to.]

Luca looked down. There was not even a message from Luke today.

Luca smiled bitterly. What was she expecting from him?

It was normal for Luke not to contact her. Was that not the case? The passion they felt for each other in the beginning would only last for a few days, then it would fade as time went by.

Luke’s heart had always been with Bianca.

Even though Luca’s true identity was Bianca, her looks had changed. She could not win Luke’s heart anymore.
