Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2246

“Will telling Luke help Leia? Have you thought about the consequences of doing so?” Although Jack knew that Luke was already aware that Leia had returned, he still looked at Queenie seriously and told her the consequences she might have to face if she did so.

“Of course, I know that! Dear, Leia is our daughter. You may be able to steel yourself, but I can’t. There’s a chance that Luke might send Leia back to New York if I tell him, but I won’t allow that to happen. If he insists on doing so, I’ll get down on my knees and beg him to spare Leia in consideration of me being Bea’s biological mother. As long as he’s willing to spare Leia, we can publicly look for volunteers for Leia…” Queenie’s eyes were bloodshot while talking. She was getting emotional because she knew that this was Leia’s last resort…

Disappointment could be seen in Jack’s eyes as looking for voluntary donors for Leia may be useful, but would not he be the one to take the fall in the end?

If Leia received someone else’s liver, he, as her father, would owe someone a favor that had to be returned someday!

That person may even affect his decision-making in the future.

He used to be secretly glad that Leia’s problem was her liver, so she did not have to wait for the donor to die to get the organ. Someone could donate their liver even when they were alive and well.

Now, he changed his mind.

If he was indebted to a dead person, he would never be able to return the favor, but if he was indebted to someone alive, he may need to spend a whole lifetime paying off that debt.

However, a parent’s love was unconditional. Even after everything Leia had done to Queenie, she was still not disappointed in Leia.

Jack was helpless. What else could he say under these circumstances?

The maid walked over and told them, “Mr. and Mrs. Norman, Mr. Crawford is here.”

As soon as Queenie heard that, she hurriedly wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes and glanced at Jack as she said, “Even if you’re not willing to help Leia, I can’t just leave my daughter to die.”

Jack heaved a sigh.

Luke walked in while carrying a bag of health supplements along with a bag of tea leaves. He did not have too big of a reaction when he saw the couple. Instead, he just habitually greeted them, “Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, these are the health supplements and tea I brought for you.”

Queenie chuckled and shook her head. “You could’ve just come here without bringing anything with you. Why did you bring over so many things?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve come over to visit, so I brought some things as a token of respect in place of Bea.” Luke handed the two bags to the maid.

After receiving the bags, the maid looked at Jack and Queenie. “Mr. and Mrs. Norman, would you like to eat now?”

“Not yet. Luke, come with me to my study,” said Jack as he wanted to tell him about Queenie’s plan in advance.

“If you have something to talk about, do it after dinner. Let’s eat first. Otherwise, the food won’t taste good when it’s cold,” Queenie said hurriedly as she was afraid that Jack would say something to Luke to make him not help Leia.

Jack wanted to say something but did not.

After assessing the situation, Luke knew what Queenie wanted to talk to him about. Unfortunately, Luca was right. He then nodded and said, “Mother-in-law is right. Let’s eat first.”

Jack could not refuse. Since Luke had long known about Leia’s return, Leia was already considered lucky that Luke had yet to take any action.

Besides, Bianca’s kidnapping and everything else Bianca had to suffer after that had something to do with Leia.

Moreover, Bianca was his biological daughter. Even if he had raised Leia for more than 20 years, it still angered him.

Needless to say, Bianca was the love of Luke’s life, while Leia was just a passerby to him.
