Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286 That Was the First Time Luke Climbed Through A Window

Regal Capital.

At night, Bianca sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window after she took a bath.

She tilted her head and looked outside. The street lights in the neighborhood were dim, and she could only see several faint shadows.

She did not turn on the heater in the house.

Bianca was dressed in thin cotton pajamas. It was slightly cold, but that was how she could keep herself conscious...

None of the furnishings of the room had changed, but she felt that it was barren and desolate.

It was lacking the warmth of her two babies. She was alone, and even the air in the room tasted bitter.

She thought of Nina, whose fate was currently unknown, her two children, and Luke, whose temperament had suddenly changed. She buried her head in her knees.

Outside of Bianca's neighborhood, Luke tried to reach her over the phone but to no avail.

He knew that Bianca was at home; he had gone to Kevin's former house and found Wanda staying there by herself.

She was not at the new house she had rented for her grandfather either.

She did not have many friends in the company, only two that she could talk with.

Luke knew that Bianca would not go trouble her friends when she was feeling down. She would also not spend the money on renting a hotel room.

The only place she could be would be the rental house that she had left vacant because she had an argument with the woman next door. There was still some time on the lease.

Every apartment block in the neighborhood had two gates, the first of which required an access card. Luke was seldom there, and he did not have a card, which meant that he was stuck outside.

The weather had turned cold, and everyone stayed at home. Nobody went in and out at night.

He waited there for twenty minutes, and he had stubbed out several cigarettes on the garbage can nearby. No one opened the front gate of Apartment Number 12, where Bianca lived.

Luke's patience was running dry. He carefully examined the structure of the apartment block.

He was a genius designer. It did not take him long to figure out a way up.

The old-fashioned apartment block had a simple structure. Each of the balconies was old and narrow, but it could fit exactly one person.

He took the last drag of his cigarette and stubbed it out.

With his right hand, he gripped the time-worn water pipe that ran down the wall. It was somewhat sturdy.

He put one of his feet on a peeling depression in the wall, gripped the pipe tight, and pulled with his strong arm. He concluded that the pipe might look fragile, but it was enough to support an adult man's body weight.

He gripped the pipe with both of his hands, then pulled himself upward. His black windbreaker fluttered in the night sky in a mysterious and elegant arc

With the upward thrust, his incredibly agile body soared into the air, and from there, he gripped the balustrade of the second-floor balcony.

He flipped over the balustrade and found himself standing on the second- floor balcony.

Using the same method, he went up to the third floor, then the fourth floor.

Bianca lived in Unit 509, on the fifth floor.

Her house should be the fourth window counting from the eastern end.

After estimating where her house was, Luke climbed along the wall and soon arrived below the window of Unit 509.

The window was half open, not to mention that there was no anti-theft net.

Luke was happy that he could get in so easily, but his expression sank when he realized that the house was not safe for Bianca. If he could get in so easily, then what about thieves or other bad guys?
