Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 227

In Kevin Rayne's house.

Jennifer came back from a session of bridge. She went to Marie's room to check on her and found that her daughter was huddled under her blanket.

"What's wrong with you? Haven't you slept enough?" Jennifer flipped over the blanket and asked Marie.

Marie turned around and frowned. "Go away! Don't come into my room!"

"Are you sick? Did you catch a cold?" Jennifer saw that her daughter looked miserable. She touched Marie's forehead.

Indeed, Marie was having a cold and a fever.

She almost made out with Xavier in the room above his bar. Xavier had already taken off her clothes, but his interest was dashed after realizing that he had mistaken her for the wrong person. She was even forcefully shoved out of the room.

The late fall weather was cold, and that was how she got a fever.

Early in the morning, Marie had called in sick to Leia's agent.

Marie's mind was not occupied with Leia Norman, but with Bianca Rayne…

Marie's head was spinning after sleeping for an entire day. She sat up and leaned against the headboard to think about things. Jennifer came into the room with a glass of warm water and two aspirin.

"Here, take some medicine." Jennifer sat down on the bed next to her.

Marie took the water and aspirin but did not eat them. Instead, she looked at Jennifer, "Mom, do you remember Uncle Kevin's liver cancer five years ago…"

"Of course I remember. Why did you suddenly ask about that?" Jennifer was taken aback.

Marie remained calm. She had been brooding over the matter for an entire day. "Then do you remember who was the one who provided Uncle Kevin with the organ replacement and paid for his medical fees?"

Jennifer furrowed her brows and thought about it. "I think… Bianca mentioned it before. It's some charity foundation that unconditionally helps patients with liver cancer. Right, it's a charity foundation."

Otherwise, Kevin would rather forgo treatment. He wanted to use his savings to send Bianca to college.

Marie swallowed the aspirin and looked at Jennifer again. "I have reliable information that it wasn't a charity foundation that helped Uncle Kevin."

"Why wouldn't it be?" Jennifer was confused. If not for the charity foundation, where did he get that much money?

Even if he emptied his savings, that would not have been enough!

Marie smiled sarcastically and lowered his gaze as though she had finally found some dirt on Bianca. "Bianca had sold her body to a fifty-something-year-old man for that money…"

"…" Jennifer was speechless.

'Impossible!

'How could that be?'

Marie's gaze became excited, even though she was feeling terrible from the fever. She told Jennifer her idea, "Go to the hospital with me tomorrow, Mom."

"Why are we going to the hospital…" Jennifer remained confused.

"We should go to the hospital to talk to Uncle Rayne. Perhaps he should transfer the title of this house to us…" Marie massaged her injured fingers as she spoke, thinking of what to tell Kevin when they meet at the hospital tomorrow.

…

In the apartment in the city center.

After picking up the children from school, Bianca took them to the grocery store to buy vegetables, meat, milk, and bread, for tomorrow's breakfast.

She was busy preparing the next meal in the kitchen. The door was closed, and she did not realize that Luke had come home.

In the living room.

Lanie was concentrating on his homework. He gripped the pencil tightly and was copying new vocabulary.

Rainie was slumped on the couch with her face down. She did not seem to be in a good mood…

"Why didn't you ask your sister to do her homework with you?" Luke asked his son.

Lanie lifted his head and looked at his father, then at his sister. "She says she doesn't want to go to school anymore."
