Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2323

Luca smiled and said in a soft voice, “It was you who moved on. There’s no need to thank me.”

“No, I still have to thank you because I’ll need your help after this. I have no friends in A City. So, there are many things that I might need to trouble you and Mr. Crawford with,” replied Vivian. She had already told Ray to keep it low-key about her going there to further her studies this time.

Vivian did not want her classmates to know that her family donated the library. Also, she did not want a bodyguard to follow her around as it would make her classmates find out about her family background.

Ray disagreed with her at first, and he insisted on keeping a few bodyguards beside her. Then, he would also arrange for two maids to take care of her there.

It took a lot of effort for Vivian to convince him.

The reason why she wanted to go to A City was to experience life in a place without her family's influence. She wanted to start a new life in a new country.

Besides, Luke was staying in A City. He was a trusted friend of Ray’s. Thus, Vivian eventually managed to convince Ray.

“It’s nothing. Just tell me if you need anything in the future. I’ll be willing to help you as long as I’m in A City,” replied Luca.

Vivian was sensitive enough to get the hint in her words. “Will you be leaving A City?”

Luca was startled for a moment. She did not expect that she would spill the beans.

Vivian's voice was so gentle that Luca was unconsciously letting her guard down. It made her feel like she was talking to a psychiatrist, and she accidentally revealed the deepest secret that she had been keeping at the bottom of her heart.

“I mean, I’ll be away for business trips occasionally. I won’t always be in A City. But don’t worry, I’d be glad to help you as long as I’m here,” Luca quickly explained.

Vivian chuckled and replied, “Okay, then I’ll leave you to your work. I’ll see you on New Year's.”

“See you.” Luca let out a sigh of relief after the call ended.

She almost told Vivian her deepest secret that was kept in her heart…

Vivian might tell Luke about it if she found out that Luca would be leaving. She had to stay alert when she talked to her in the future.

Luca looked down and picked up her phone again. New Year’s was just around the corner. She promised Luke that she would go shopping with him for the new year. Also, she reckoned that she would be busy handling the kids’ matters like how things used to be in the previous years.

Therefore, she had to take care of everything at hand.

Luca sent a message to Queenie, asking about Leia’s situation.

Queenie called her after a while. “Luca, I saw your message. I thought I should give you a call to explain it to you.”

“Okay, Mrs. Norman. I’m listening,” Luca looked down and turned on the phone’s speaker.

Although Queenie sounded like Leia was seriously ill, she knew that Luke would certainly know about it if she was really in a bad condition.

Besides, Johann would have told her too.

Hence, Luca was not anxious about it. She read the document and listened to Queenie talking on the phone at the same time.

"The doctor said that Leia can be discharged from the hospital after some time. Her vital signs are fine after the surgery as they’re improving. But her vitals have stopped improving in the past two days. Although Dr. Park told me that it’s normal and Leia's body needs a long time to recover as there's no way she can recover so quickly, I'm still worried about her. You know she doesn't have much patience as well, so if she's not recovering fast enough, I'm worried that Leia will get anxious and her health will be affected too," said Queenie even though she thought troubling Luca again was not a good idea.

Leia was the only child she left now. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask for Luca’s help.
