Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2182

Luca was doing experiments in the study the entire time. The kids did not come upstairs to disturb her either.

Only when the alarm rang did Luca stop doing her experiment. She disinfected her hands and walked out of the study.

Luca ran into the kids when they were making their way upstairs.

“Ms. Luca, have you finished your work?” Tommy smiled cheerfully and came forward to hug her.

Luca stroked Tommy's head and looked at Lanie and Rainie, "Come on. Go clean yourself up. It's time for bed."

“Okay, Ms. Luca,” the three kids replied at the same time.

Luca returned to her bedroom. She got herself cleaned up at the same time as the kids did so. Then, she tucked the kids into bed.

Her phone rang when she was about to do some reading before heading to bed.

Could it be Luke?

Luca could not suppress the quiver in her heart. She picked up her phone and looked at it. It was Nina who called.

She quickly answered the call and said, “Nina, what’s wrong?”

Luca had a feeling that something must have happened if Nina was calling at this hour after the incident this morning.

“Luca, were you asleep?” Nina asked. She was worried that she would disturb her.

“Of course not. Would I have been able to answer the call so quickly if I was asleep?” Luca comforted her. Nina was such a person—careful and afraid to trouble others.

“I’m at the entrance of your villa district. Do you mind opening the door for me?” Nina asked. She had pressed the visitor doorbell, but no one answered. She thought that it was either Luca was asleep or she was on the first floor.

“You’re at the entrance?” Luca was surprised. She quickly jumped out of bed and wore her wool slippers. “Hold on there. I’m going to get you now.”

“You don’t have to come over. I know the directions. You just have to open the gate for me.” Nina sounded tired. Luca could hear her voice slightly shivering when she listened to it carefully.

“Alright. Give me a minute.” Luca headed downstairs immediately to open the district gate for her.

“Thank you, Luca. I’m walking in now,” replied Nina.

“Come in. I’ll be waiting for you at the door.” Luca knew something must have happened to Nina. That was why she came here.

Luca put on her coat. She grabbed another coat, thinking that Nina probably did not wear enough layers to keep herself warm before she walked out of the house.

Nina let out a sigh on the other end of the line. It was especially quiet on this cold, snowy night. She could hear Luca’s footsteps, and she said, “Luca, you don’t have to come out so soon. I'm still walking.”

“You walked all the way here?” Luca frowned.

“No. I hailed a ride to come here. Let me walk to your house first. You should go back into the house to keep yourself warm. I’ll call you when I’ve arrived.” Nina sniffed. A gust of cold wind blew past Nina, making her nose dry and itchy.

Nina continued to head toward the villa after she hung up the call.

Luca did not listen to what Nina said. She carried the coat and walked to the door gate.

The villa district was huge, and Luke's villa was located at a more remote location. That was why Nina needed some time to arrive at the villa no matter which gate she came from.

Luca glanced at her phone and continued to wait at the door gate.
