Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2634

Next morning.

Luca woke up in Luke’s arms. The moment she opened her eyes, Luke’s phone rang.

“Um, Luke, your phone.” Luca rubbed her head.

After they had supper last night, the kids were already in bed when they reached home. Luke decided to take out a bottle of red wine and drank a few glasses alone. Then, he used being drunk as an excuse to hold Luca in his arms and made love with her into the night.

It was already daylight when he opened his eyes again.

Luke picked up his incessantly buzzing phone. He glanced at the phone screen to see who was calling. Then, he turned on the speaker and placed it beside his pillow, only then did he answer the call. “Yes?”

“Good morning, Mr. Crawford. I’m the police officer on duty. My badge number is XXXXXXXX. I’m sorry to disturb you early in the morning.” There came a man’s voice from the other end of the call.

Luke turned around and held Luca’s soft body in his arms. He buried his face in Luca’s hair. “What’s the matter?”

"Are you able to reach Ms. Craw?" The police officer asked.

Luca was a little surprised, but she could feel Luke’s hands touching her body. She pushed Luke away with her left hand and met his eyes. She mouthed the words and asked him what was going on.

Luke understood what she was talking about. He bent down, lowered his head, and planted a gentle kiss on her lips.

“Mr. Crawford?” The police officer had no choice but to continue to ask when he was met with silence.

“Just tell me what you want.” Luke was running out of patience. He had been woken up early in the morning, and he would like to spend some time alone with Luca, but the police officer was ruining his plans.

“Earlier, the chief of police contacted you. The suspect who held Ms. Craw hostage said that he was in pain. Now that he is in the custodial ward. The doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with him after examining him. But he couldn't stand the pain. We heard that Ms. Craw has some medical knowledge. So, we'd like to contact her and ask if she has the time to come here and see what's wrong with him," The police officer chose his words carefully as he explained.

The hospital had already called him twice last night, telling him that the patient was in bad condition. There was an unbearable pain in his stomach.

However, there were no wounds on the man’s body. There was no internal bleeding too. It was an unknown severe pain.

Still, the police officers saw how the patient suffered in pain. It did not look like he was putting on a show indeed.

The suspect would roll and writhe in bed. If it were not for the bedside rails and the handcuffs, he would have rolled out of the bed and fallen on the ground.

In less than 5 minutes, the suspect was covered in sweat. His body would start twitching. The doctor had no choice but to give him painkillers.

It was just that the effects of the painkillers were getting less effective.

The doctor on duty said that the suspect might get addicted to the painkillers if he took them repeatedly in such a short period.

That was why the police thought of contacting Luca to find out what was going on.

However, Luke mentioned to them that they had to contact him first before contacting Luca. Otherwise, no one was allowed to call Luca.

The suspect was having an episode of severe pain right now.

Besides, the doctor dared not to give him any more painkillers. The police officer had no choice but to call Luke.

“She doesn’t know anything about medicine.” Luke was unhappy with Luca pushing him away when he wanted some intimacy. He had no choice but to pinch her cheeks to vent his emotions.

“But…” The police officer hesitated.

“Do you spend your time worrying about the suspect?” Luke interrupted him, while his hand was slowly sliding down on Luca’s face. He could feel Luca breathing nervously.

“No…”

"Ask the doctor to give him some painkillers if he's in pain. Ms. Craw is not a doctor. She has no idea why he's in pain. And, did the police find anything?" questioned Luke.
