Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2279

However, both the older kids and the little one had such serious looks on their faces as if Luca was critically ill.

He just could not help it.

Tommy saw the corners of his mouth curl up, and his tiny face scrunched up. “Uncle Park, do you think Ms. Luca’s sickness is funny?”

Johann realized that if he continued to laugh, not only would he be taught a lesson by the adult inside, but these three little ones would come after him too.

He hurriedly shook his head and said, “Fine, fine, it’s not funny.”

Rainie stared at him with concern. “Uncle Park, how is Ms. Luca doing?”

“She just caught a cold and a fever. I’ve given her medicine, so the fever should subside in half an hour. She should be fully recovered after two or three days if she takes her medicine accordingly.” Johann tried to sound as relaxed as possible to avoid worrying the children.

However, the children still became worried.

Rainie’s eyes were filled with tears. They looked as if they were going to fall anytime now. Johann’s heart melted at the sight of it, so he quickly added, “Nothing will happen to her. It’s just like the cold you used to have. She’ll get better soon.”

“But she must be in pain. If I had not reminded Ms. Luca, she would not have rushed out.” Tears streamed down Rainie’s face.

Luca would not have caught a cold if she had not rushed out in the first place.

Lanie sighed when he heard his sister blame herself. He then took up his responsibility as an older brother. “Don’t cry, nobody is blaming you.”

“I was the one who made Ms. Luca sick.” Rainie took all the blame for Luca’s cold.

Johann could not bare watching a child like Rainie cry, so he quickly calmed her down. “That’s enough, Rainie. It’s not your fault. Catching a cold isn’t necessarily caused by being in the cold.”

“So, Ms. Luca didn’t fall sick because she was cold?” Rainie looked blearily at him with teary eyes.

Johann was smart enough to make something up. “Catching a chill is just one of the factors. If she caught a cold after just running out for a short while, that would mean that her body was already weak to begin with. That’s why she caught a cold so easily.”

“What does that mean?” Tommy was also affected by Rainie as his eyes were watery.

“I’m saying that perhaps she had too much fried or spicy foods, which produced a lot of heat in her body and caused her to catch a cold. If the heat produced is not cleared in time, she would fall sick even without being out in the cold,” Johann quickly explained because he was afraid that they would cry again.

“So, even if Ms. Luca didn’t fall sick now, she would still fall sick in the future?” Lanie asked as he sort of made sense of Johann’s words.

“Yes, that’s right. Lanie is so smart.” Johann patted his head as he favored Lanie the most out of all three of Luke’s children.

He seemed to have an aptitude for medicine, but unfortunately, not only was he born into the Crawford family, he was even the eldest son. Hence, he only had one path when he grew up—Luke’s path.

There would not be any other choice for him.

“Johann.” Luke’s voice came from the bedroom.

“Your father is calling me. Don’t cry. I’ll go in and take a look.” Johann comforted the children before pushing the door to walk in. To not make the children worry, he closed the door behind him. “What is it?”

“Take her temperature,” Luke said with a poker face.

“You don’t even know how to take someone’s temperature?” Johann’s eyes widened.

“Cut the crap. I feel like her forehead isn’t that hot anymore.” Luke rolled his eyes at him, then his gaze fell on Luca.

Johann looked at him and shook his head as Luca had never left his sight for more than three seconds.

“Let me take a look,” he said while picking up the thermometer to take Luca’s temperature.

“It’s close to 38 degrees. It’s lower than before. It seems like the acetaminophen injection and ethanol worked,” Johann turned to tell Luke after checking the number on the thermometer.
