Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2300

“Yes, you told me. How else would I know?” Luca insisted and took a sip of her lemon tea to hide her guilt.

“Really? Maybe I forgot…” Nina had no recollection of her telling Luca those things.

However, she had complained to her about Jean a lot, so she suspected that she had said so much that she forgot what she even said.

“I guess so. You’ve been working too hard lately, so it’s only normal that you don’t remember little details like these,” Luca said as she sipped on her lemon tea with her straw while lowering her gaze.

The two of them continued to sit there and sip on their tea.

Nina told Luca about many other things until someone’s phone rang, which made their conversation come to an abrupt end.

Luca glanced at the caller to see that it was Queenie.

“I’ll take this call,” she said to Nina before answering the phone. “What is it, Mrs. Norman?”

“Luca, what’s wrong with your voice?” Queenie noticed that her voice was a little raspy.

“I have a cold. Is everything alright?” Luca knew that Queenie must be calling her to talk about Leia.

Leia was in stable condition right now, so there should not be any complications. Why was Queenie calling her?

“Sorry, I didn’t know you had a cold…” Queenie felt bad when she heard that Luca had caught a cold. She glanced at the door of the ward and asked out of concern, “Are you feeling any better?”

“I’ve gotten much better. It’s not that serious anymore. Don’t worry, Mrs. Norman, you can speak now.” Luca noticed how cautious she was, which convinced her that it was about Leia.

Leia heard her talk and was a little uncertain. Was that Jack’s wife?

“Here’s the thing. Leia just had the operation, right? A little problem occurred, but Dr. Park said it’s normal and she’ll be fine if she takes good care of her body. However, I’m still a bit worried, so I want to ask you to come over to see if you can do anything to help Leia recuperate,” Queenie said slowly.

She intended to let the doctors at the hospital do it, but after bringing it up to Leia, Leia suggested letting Luca help her.

Queenie felt embarrassed to bother Luca as she had put Luca through so much trouble in the past because of Leia.

Helping patients recuperate was not her specialty, but Jack mentioned that Luca was great at it.

Leia even insisted on having Luca help her because she was better and even Johann said so.

For the sake of Leia’s health, Queenie had to shamelessly make this call to Luca.

“Recuperate?” Luca was stunned as she was a little hesitant to help Leia, not because she was selfish but because Leia would never accept her good intentions.

If Leia was willing to accept her kindness, perhaps she would not need to get a liver transplant in the first place.

“Yes. If you’re not free, then that’s fine.” Queenie heard the reluctance in Luca’s tone.

“Mrs. Norman, it’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that I don’t know if I can do a good job. Plus, Ms. Norman was quite opposed to me treating her before. I’m afraid of making a fool of myself…” said Luca as Leia had hated her for a long time.

Luca recalled the last time she gave Leia dry needling. If not for the fact that Leia had trouble getting up, she might have chased her out of the place.

“I get a bad feeling every time I hear her name and think about when…” Nina paused as she thought that she should not mention Bianca in front of Luca that much.

Besides, Bianca was Luke’s wife, and Luca’s identity was a little…

“I know you’re saying it for my own good, but with Ms. Norman’s current state, she won’t be the same as before once she recovers. Don’t worry,” Luca reassured her so that she would stop worrying about these things.

“You’ll be in touch with her anyhow, so just be extra careful. You said Jean is a troublemaker. Well, Leia and Jean are the same people.” Nina had seen through them. Jean had done so many misdeeds just to get Bianca, but in the end, he still fell into the hands of Marie.

On the other hand, Leia had done a lot of absurd things just to get Luke. She was lucky that her family was well-off and she had money from her celebrity days, so she could pay someone else to take the blame.

In the end, the worst punishment she got was just getting sent abroad.

If Leia’s living conditions were the same as Jean’s, perhaps she would still be in jail after all the bad things she had done.

“Fine, I’ll be careful. Don’t worry,” said Luca.

Both of them sat in the cafe for a while longer before going their separate ways.

After Luca returned to her office and put down her phone and briefcase, she changed into her lab coat. Before entering the laboratory, she put on a mask and a face shield as a barrier from germs as she had a cold.

When Rhett saw her walk in, he stepped forward and said, “Dr, Craw, you should get more rest if you’re not feeling well. It’ll be okay to just have the other researchers here.”

“It’s alright. I’ve been sick for two days already, so it’s bearable now,” said Luca as her cold symptoms had reduced a lot, her nose was longer blocked, and her throat was not sore anymore.
