Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2271

“You’re injured,” Luca took a step back. She figured that it was unlikely that only her face was wounded.

“Those who have eyes would know that they should get out of the way. Excuse me.” Marie ran out of patience. How she wished that she could throw a tantrum at the person in front of her.

Marie was injured, and Jean was the one who beat her up.

However, she could not call the police to report him for the sake of surviving. She thought of heading to the pharmacy to dress her wound, but the staff working in the pharmacy dared not to help her. She had no choice but to come to the hospital.

The doctor asked her if she was facing domestic violence. She did not dare to admit it. If she admitted it, the medical staff in the hospital would call the police anytime. If Jean was caught and thrown into prison, she would not have anyone to depend on.

That was why she had no choice but to say she was injured from a fall.

The doctor did not expose her and suggested she take an X-ray to see if her bones were injured. However, she did not have the money, so she rejected the offer and asked the nurse to dress her wounds.

She did not expect to run into Luca on such an unlucky day.

Luca, who stood in front of her, was stylish and glamorous. She wore an expensive branded big coat. It was incomparable to the one she was wearing that only cost a few hundred dollars.

Moreover, she was not as flustered as Marie was. Luca‘s features were delicate, and she looked spirited.

Marie could not help but be green with envy. They were both women, but she had become like this while Luca was living a wonderful life.

Why?!

“Was it Jean who did this to you?” Luca asked again.

Marie paused for a moment. She turned around and mocked her. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“The wounds on your face were obviously caused by someone,” Luca said with confidence. Her eyes were dark as she was preoccupied with something.

“You got it wrong. I accidentally fell and injured myself. Stop thinking that you know everything,” jeered Marie as she clasped the pills in her hand tightly.

Luca knew why Marie was defending Jean, and she reminded her in a soft voice, “A man who beats you up will beat you again. There’s always a second time. I think you should consider it.”

Luca reminded her only because she treated Marie as her sister before.

After all, Kevin treated Luca like his biological daughter.

“What the hell are you talking about? Jean is always nice to me. Are you cursing me just because you can’t bear to see others being happy?” Marie glared at her. “I’ll rip your lips into pieces if you dare to talk nonsense!”

Luca shook her head helplessly. She had no choice but to leave her a message, “Take care.”

After that, Luca turned around and left. She carried the water bottles she bought and returned to the operating room.

Luke sat on the chair, took the bottle she handed to him, and asked, "What took you so long?"

“Nothing,” Luca did not want to discuss Marie's matter in front of Queenie and Jack.

Two hours later, the door of the operating room was opened.

“Dexter, where’s Dexter’s family?” A nurse pushed the hospital bed out, and Dexter was lying on it.

After the anaesthetization, his tanned face was pale white. He was in severe pain after the anaesthetization and surgery.

Dexter could hear the nurse calling his name while he was in a trance.

He heard someone talking when he was about to tell the nurse that he did not have any family members. “How is he?” Luke came forward and asked.

“Are you Dexter’s family member?” the nurse looked at him and asked.

“No, but I’m the one who’s paying for his medical expenses. The caretaker went to the washroom,” Luke made a simple explanation and looked at Dexter. He looked weak, but that was all.

It was normal for patients who had just gone for surgery.

“Okay. It’s fine to have a caretaker. The transplant surgery has been done. The surgery went well, and nothing unexpected happened. We’re transferring the patients upstairs now. If the caretaker is back, ask her to go upstairs to nurse him,” said the nurse. She had seen patients who did not have any family members except for a caretaker. Hence, it was normal to her.
