Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2478

Allison understood what the police officer meant.

It was unlikely that she could claim her money back. Even though she was lucky enough to claim it, no one knew when it would happen.

Besides, the longer it took, the lower the chances of claiming it back.

“Then what can I do now?” Allison asked. She could not wait to urge the police officer in front of her to investigate the case now.

“Ms. Tanner, you should go home and wait for our call,” said the police officer. Allison had signed and pressed her fingerprint on the document. That was all she had to do.

Now, she had to wait for the police to further investigate it.

“Okay…” Allison was unhappy. However, it was useless even if she urged the police to look into her case.

Besides, Luke had already told her that he would not help her.

After Allison left the police station, she got into the Crawford family’s car and returned to Crawford Manor.

It was almost midnight. Sophian was still up. She was waiting for Allison to come back.

Allison pushed the door open and walked into her bedroom. She frowned when she saw that Sophian was still there. Then, she asked, "Why are you not in bed at this hour?"

“Ms. Allison, my colleague who’s working at the hospital called me just now…” replied Allison. She had to inform Allison as soon as possible. Otherwise, she might get scolded for not telling her earlier.

“The look on your face… Is it about the surgeon?” Allison had a bad feeling. She took off her mask and threw it into the trash bin.

"Yes, Ms. Allison. The surgeon said he’ll only be working at the hospital for 10 days instead of half a month. That means if you don't go back to Seoul this week, you'll have to wait until he finishes his refresher course," said Sophian. It was too sudden, but it might be a good thing.

"That soon?" Allison frowned. The police had only arrested the swindler. They would need some time to make him talk, and they needed time for investigation too. She could not wait until the police got her money back…

There was only one way that would work now.

Allison had to go for surgery. She had been receiving treatment for so long, and there was only one surgeon who said that her face could recover through surgery. She had to seize the chance this time.

"It's not up to us to decide the surgeon's schedule. Ms. Allison, the police have arrested the swindler. You should've claimed your money, right?" Sophian could see something was wrong from the look on Allison's face, but she knowingly asked.

“No. The police said that he refuses to say anything.” Allison frowned. She only had 10 days. Even if she could go for the surgery now, she could not return to Seoul.

Her credit card… She had already maxed it out. There was no way she could travel there.

Besides, even if she had her credit card with her, the credit limit would not be enough to pay for the surgery fees.

Allison turned to look at the property deed on the coffee table. The papers had been crumpled into a ball by her.

She had to compromise. Only then she could get the money…

Sophian looked in the direction where Allison was staring and saw the property deed.

“Go to sleep. Come along with me to see him tomorrow.” Allison did not mention who that person was, but Sophian knew who she was talking about.

“Okay, Ms. Allison.” Sophian nodded and left Allison’s bedroom.

…

The following day.

Luca got out of bed and prepared breakfast for Luke and the kids with Aunt Neile.

After breakfast, Luke said to Aunt Neile, “Prepare a pot of warm tea and some refreshments.”

“Okay, Mr. Crawford. How many people will there be?” Aunt Neile asked.

Luke pondered for a moment and replied, “Four.”
