Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2598

“Okay, Ms. Luca. How’s Grandpa and Grandma doing?” Tommy asked again and glanced at Lanie and Rainie, who were beside him.

They were worried about Jack and Queenie’s health.

Luca was startled for a moment, and she asked, “How do you know about that?”

“It’s on the news. We saw it,” replied Tommy. “But those people only said that Grandpa and Grandma are injured. They didn’t go into the details.”

“They’re fine. Besides, the doctors and nurses in the hospital will be taking care of them. Don’t worry,” said Luca.

Tommy replied, then said to Lanie and Rainie, “Lanie, Rainie, did you hear that?”

“Yes.” Lanie nodded.

Luca then found out that the kids were listening to their conversation beside the telephone. They cared about Jack and Queenie.

“Stay at home and be good. Have your dinner first. I…” Luca glanced at the man who was busy driving beside her and said, “Your daddy and I will be home soon.”

“Okay, Ms. Luca. Daddy, drive safe,” reminded Tommy.

“Okay.” Luca waited for the other end of the line to hang up the call, and only then did she put down her phone.

“They know their grandparents were admitted to the hospital?” It was quiet in the car, so Luke could hear the voice coming from the other end of the phone.

“Yes. The news was reported on the TV,” replied Luca. She knew Luke had been handling the matters. She added, “But the reporter didn’t mention the details.”

“Yeah. The hospital didn’t reveal anything,” said Luke. The hospital Johann was currently working in protected the VIP patients’ privacy well.

Not everyone could enter the wards, and the patients in the wards would not disturb each other. Most of them were from the upper class. They could not afford to be exposed by others. They were not interested in delving into someone’s private life either.

Hence, Luke did not have to worry about Jack and Queenie, who were staying in a VIP ward.

Leia was not allowed to enter the ward, and neither were the reporters.

“I wonder when they’ll be able to recover and get discharged from the hospital,” said Luca.

Even if a young man was healthy enough, it would take at least a few days for all the symptoms of the concussion to go away.

Old people were much weaker. They might need a longer time to get enough rest and recover when they had a concussion.

“I’m not sure. Leave it to Johann,” said Luke.

Even though Jack and Queenie had recovered, Luke was planning to let them stay in the VIP ward for a few more days before getting discharged.

It was not because he wanted to attract the public’s attention. He wanted to give Leia the impression that Jack and Queenie were in a bad shape.

The more Leia thought her parents’ health was in a bad state, the happier she would be.

One would show the cloven hoof when one was happy.

Luke wanted Queenie to see what kind of person Leia was.

Jack had a soft spot for Queenie. Queenie would feel upset if she found out about it.

That was why he had been concealing these things from her, and he did not let her know how many ridiculous things Leia had done behind their backs.

Luke did not stop Jack from doing that as he had nothing to do with Leia.

However, he knew he had to get rid of Leia. Moreover, to stop Queenie from worrying too much, he had to let her know Leia’s true colors and see how evil Leia was.

“You’ll be on leave tomorrow, right?” Luca remembered Aunt Neile mentioning that she had to send her grandchild to school on the first day of school. That was why she would not be able to come here in the morning.

“Yes. That's why I’m preparing breakfast in advance. That way, you can get more rest too.” Aunt Neile kneaded the dough.

“Thank you.” Luca could not help but thank her.

“Don’t mention it. Oh, you haven’t had dinner, right? It’s in the microwave. I kept it warm for you,” replied Aunt Neile. She knew they could not make it to dinner on time, so she saved some food for them and warmed them in the microwave.

“Okay.” Luca opened the microwave. Their dinner was kept in the microwave.

She took a tray out and placed the dishes on the tray.

Aunt Neile asked, “Oh, is Mr. Crawford back?”

“Yes, but he has something to do and went upstairs. I’ll bring his dinner upstairs,” said Luca. She divided the dishes into two portions and gave more to Luke.

“Stop moving around. Leave it to me. Let me wash my hands first.” Aunt Neile noticed that Luca’s right hand was bandaged.

“I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury. It’s not a big deal for me to carry a tray. Plus, it won’t affect the wound.” Luca was not being dramatic. Her hand injury was not hurting anymore. She thought it would be fine. “Besides, you’re halfway kneading the dough. You’ll have to wash your hands again. How troublesome. Let me do it.”

“Okay, then. Thank you, Ms. Craw.” Aunt Neile’s hands were full of flour now. It was inconvenient for her to bring dinner upstairs. She gave up the thought of helping Luca since she insisted on doing it.

Luca prepared two portions. After she filled the bowl with soup, she carried the tray upstairs.

She arrived at Luke’s bedroom door. Even though the door was not shut, she knocked on the door before going in.

“Come in.” Luke saw Luca carrying the tray and frowned. Then, he said, “Why are you doing this when you’re injured?”

“It’s just a cut on my hand. It’s not like my bones are broken or I’m handicapped. I’m still able to carry a tray. Besides, Aunt Neile is busy preparing tomorrow’s breakfast. The tray is quite heavy. I can’t let the kids carry it, right?” replied Luca as she placed the tray on the table. “Why don’t you have your dinner first? You can get back to work afterward.”
