Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2840

Sarah suspected that she had misheard it.

Ignore it? That was impossible. Luca and her were not that close either.

"Ms. Craw, it was you who paid for my medical expenses, right? I can't just ignore it..." said Sarah.

Even though she had financial struggles, she was not the type to take advantage of others.

Luca had already helped her a lot. She had done more than enough.

Luca was secretly startled for a moment and let out a soft sigh, "Ms. Poplar, rest assured. To be honest, I know about your financial difficulties. I have a few connections in the hospital. So, I applied for some financial assistance for you. As for the VIP ward, it may be called a VIP ward, but that's because I'm good friends with the doctors. They agreed to give it to me. The cost is the same as the regular ward downstairs."

The nurse who was standing beside pursed her lips, suppressing her laugh.

If one were familiar with the hospital's medical system, Luca would not have said such things.

In order to reassure Sarah and help her recover, Luca had no choice but to say such things. The nurse would not expose her as Luca was doing it for Sarah's own good.

That way, she could focus on recovering without worrying about medical expenses.

"Is it true?" Sarah doubted.

"Yes. The hospital has its own foundation for families in difficulties. Your application has already been approved, so you don't need to worry," Luca had to bite the bullet and lie to her.

"Thank you, Ms. Craw." Sarah believed her words.

She felt that Luca was not the kind of person who would lie.

"Take care of yourself. I'll visit you whenever I have time," replied Luca before she hung up the call.

She gave Luke, who was by her side, a helpless look.

They were having breakfast when they found out it was Sarah who called. Luca turned on the speakerphone so Luke could also hear what Sarah was saying.

"I hope Ms. Poplar believes what I said." Luca noticed the faint curve on the corner of Luke’s lips.

Luca was not a good liar. She had to rack her brain to come up with a lie, and even then, it might not be believable.

However, Sarah seemed to believe it.

"She believes you," said Luke.

"My tone didn't give myself away, right?” added Luca as she sounded worried. She was not good at lying. Whenever she told a lie, regardless of whether it was a big or small one, her tone would unconsciously become nervous. Then, her voice would tremble, far from composed.

"No. You did well. At least she believed it," replied Luke. The last words Sarah said seemed to indicate that she believed in Luca.

"But who knows how long we can keep this hidden?" Luca knew that Sarah was still worried about her financial issues.

If she had enough money, she would not have acted like this.

Luca could not help but wonder how much suffering Marcos' birth mother had endured all these years.

She heard that Marcos' birth mother was also a graduate of a prestigious university. Graduates like her would not have any trouble finding a job. Still, she stayed on the outskirts of A City, and she even took on part-time jobs?

Luca felt sorry for what Sarah had gone through.

"Just seven days. They'll pass in the blink of an eye," said Luke as he pressed the send button on his phone.
