Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2588

There was dead silence in the ward.

Jack waited for a while for Luca, but she did not come in. He spoke, “Luke, can you please check on Luca to see if she’s done giving the statement?”

Luke did not move as he replied, “Father, she’ll come here after it’s done.”

Jack kept quiet.

"Luca has to make a detailed statement. That's why she's taking a long time. She's worried about you. She'll be here later," added Luke.

“Okay.” Jack closed his eyes and recalled what had happened.

Leia and Luca were both their daughters. Luca tried her best to protect Jack and Queenie, while Leia…

Jack remembered Leia screaming weirdly. It was because of Leia's scream that made him and Queenie suffer…

Leia was hiding behind the sofa. She was safe. However, judging from the way she screamed and how she caught those men’s attention, it seemed like she did it on purpose...

“The security alarm went off when that happened,” said Jack. To make sure that the alarm system would still work when there was no electricity supply, not only was the alarm system connected to the wires but they were connected to the solar panel system too.

The solar panel system would start working once the power was cut off. That was why there was no way the alarm system would malfunction or fail to restart after the power was cut.

“Father, stop thinking about it. Gale and Rain will look into it.” Luke knew Jack was recalling what happened just now. He said in a low voice, “Get some rest.”

Jack fell silent again.

It was probably because of the dizziness, but it also seemed like the medicine’s effects had kicked in. Jack felt sleepy, and his thoughts were sluggish and fuzzy. He could not figure things out now.

Jack closed his eyes and fell deeply asleep.

10 minutes later, the ward door was pushed open as Luca came in. “Mr. Crawford, is Mr. and Mrs. Norman awake?”

Luca spoke in a soft voice as she was afraid that she would wake Jack and Queenie up.

“Dad woke up just now, but he fell asleep again.” Luke was sure that Jack was asleep.

Luca heard him. She stepped forward to Jack’s ward bed and gently placed her fingers on Jack’s wrist to check his pulse. His pulse was stable.

She turned around and walked toward Queenie. She checked her pulse too.

“Johann said they’re fine, but there are signs of them suffering from a concussion. They have to stay in the hospital for further observation.” Luke knew Luca was worried. He told her Johann’s diagnosis.

“Glad to hear that.” Luca walked toward the sofa and sat down. Jack’s and Queenie’s pulses were stable, and it did not seem like they were suffering from internal injuries.

“Have you finished giving the statement?” Luke asked.

“Yes. I’ve told the police everything in detail. But they’d like to take a statement from Mr. and Mrs. Norman too. They’re waiting outside the door.” Luca crossed her legs with a troubled expression on her face.

Luca thought Matysh was after her, and that was why she came up with a scheme with Rain and the others.

She did not expect things to not go as they planned. It was supposed to take place on the street, but they took action on her at the Normans’ residence instead.

Thus, it resulted in her biological parents getting injured.

This was not something Luca wanted to see happening.

Luke saw the guilt in Luca’s expression. He held her left hand without saying anything.

He was constantly giving her his warmth through this gesture. Luca looked down and stared at her hand that was being held. How she wished that Luke could be by her side every time she was upset.

“The Norman family? What happened to them?” Wanda was surprised. The Rayne family and the Norman family would visit each other during the New Year and some other festivals because of Bianca. Even though Bianca was living abroad now, the two families still kept in touch with each other.

Wanda remembered that Queenie's condition was getting better every day. Why did she get admitted to the hospital all of a sudden?

Furthermore, based on what Luke told her, Queenie was not the only one admitted to the hospital. Jack was here too.

"Some thugs broke into the Normans’ residence and injured the two of them. But they're fine. They'll just be staying in the hospital for a couple of days for further observation. They can be discharged if nothing's wrong with them. By the way, Aunt Wanda, I'm going downstairs to buy lunch. Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Luke asked.

"Thanks, but it's okay. The caretaker has gone to buy lunch for me." Wanda tidied herself up. She could not help but heave a sigh. "They've got some nerves, huh? Were they caught?"

“They were arrested. Don’t worry,” replied Luke.

"Then can I visit them? Are they in the ward where the police officers are standing outside?" Wanda had noticed the two police officers standing outside a ward earlier. She reckoned that it was the ward Mr. and Mrs. Norman were in.

“Aunt Wanda, you can go later. They’re still recovering from the traumatic event and getting some rest now.” Luke stopped her from visiting them.

Luca was still inside the ward. She wanted to stay by Mr. and Mrs. Norman’s side alone. Luke let her do as she wished.

“Ah, I see. Okay. I’ll pay a visit later. Are you going to buy lunch for them? Hurry up. I’ll return to my ward as soon as I refill the water bottle.” Wanda did not hold him up.

Luke nodded and headed toward the elevator.

He arrived at the nurses’ station and saw Leia.

Leia was pestering the nurse, claiming that she wanted to visit Jack and Queenie, but the head nurse stopped her and forbade her from going into the ward.

"Are you crazy? They're my parents. What makes you think that you have the right to stop me from going in? If you continue to stop me, I'm going to make a complaint to the hospital administration department and tell your director," Leia was being rude and unreasonable. After she was admitted to the hospital, she was arranged to stay in the ward of the Department of Hepatobiliary. No matter what Leia said, the doctor refused to let her move to the VIP ward. She was told that the VIP wards were fully occupied.
