Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2872

There was a smile on the corner of Luke's mouth. When she called his name affectionately, the tenderness and devotion on her face hit his soul hard.

If it were not for the inappropriate occasion, he would have held her in his arms at this moment.

"How is the project going?" Luke was concerned about the status of Luca's project.

"Well, I'm going to start now. Actually, I've done research on this project before. It should progress very quickly and won't require a high cost." Luca speculated because the drug project originally belonged to Shanks. From Shanks’ prior research, she only needed to complete the research and make it into a legally marketed drug.

She just needed to repeat the study like the last time, repeating the experiment to ensure drug safety and increase the efficacy of the drug at the same time.

Luke's smile deepened as he listened to her serious whisper.

He fell in love with Luca's serious appearance even more.

After Luca finished speaking, she noticed the tender smile on Luke's face. Suddenly, a thought came to her mind. ‘Should I not be telling him all these? Well, he was the one who asked."

Then, Luca asked again, "How is Ms. Norman?"

"She's still in the detention ward. There's no news from the hospital," Luke said. If Leia's condition deteriorated, the doctor would definitely notify the police. The police would then notify the Norman family.

Right now, no news was the best news.

Luca had the same opinion. Leia, who was the most reluctant to hurt herself, was not badly affected after hitting her head on the wall, a move which made people speechless.

"During the weekend, I'll take the kids to visit the Normans. Do you want to come along?" Luke did not want to spend their time together discussing Leia's affairs.

How Leia died had nothing to do with them.

"Alright… but what reason do I have to join you guys?" Luca asked. Although Luke had not officially confessed his love to her, they were considered together now.

They were husband and wife to begin with.

However, others did not know this. If Luke showed up at the Normans' residence with the kids and her without good reason, Queenie would be suspicious.

"You want to help Queenie recuperate." Luke gave her a reason.

He also wondered, ‘In reality, Luca is Queenie's biological daughter, but now, she needs a reason to go to the Normans' residence. How absurd.’

Jack was right to urge him. The Island of Despair problem must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would have a great impact on them.

Luca belonged to him, and no one can take her away.

Luca frowned. This was a really good reason. "This reason has already been used..."

No matter how good the reason is, it could not be reused multiple times.

It would be fine if she appeared alone in the Normans, but Queenie's concealed suspicion would resurface if Luke was present as well.

"What happened to Leia yesterday increased Queenie’s blood pressure. Later, the doctor gave her a rapid antihypertensive drug to stabilize her." Luke did not tell her this yesterday because he did not want her to worry about Queenie while in X City. It would affect her rest.

Queenie's condition improved a lot after taking the antihypertensive drugs. She stayed in the detention ward to check on Leia's condition until Luke and Jack persuaded her to go home. Then, she stopped mentioning her physical discomfort.

Luca frowned. Queenie's physical condition was still affected by Leia.

She looked at Luke. The man seemed calm, so she reckoned that Queenie was fine now.

This was a good reason. She could go to Norman Residence with the kids this weekend.

Luca nodded. "Okay, I'll buy some herbal medicine too. Uncle Jack and Aunt Queenie need some supplements at their age."

She took a sip.

She overheard Mo talking about this restaurant with other assistants. She thought she would definitely try it when she was free.

However, there was always a crowd every time she was free. In the rare free time she had, she chose other restaurants for lunch instead.

Luke took a sip of the truffle mushroom soup and raised his eyebrows.

The taste was good, but not as good as Luca's cooking.

His stomach favored the food made by Luca.

It was already 1:05 pm after lunch. Luca thought that it would be almost time for the meeting once she got back to the office, so she said to Luke, "Will you leave later?"

"Yeah, I have a meeting in the afternoon." In order to meet up with Jack, Luke pushed all the morning meetings to the afternoon.

He wanted to accompany Luca for a while longer, but the conditions did not allow it.

The management of the entire T Corporation was waiting for him to go back.

Luca nodded. She knew that Luke was busy. She was actually surprised when he suddenly appeared in her office today. "I have a meeting later too."

"Then you go back first. My car is parked in the parking space on the side of the road," Luke said.

"Alright then."

Luca walked out of the private room with him. There were not many white-collar workers eating in the restaurant. Most of them had gone back to their offices after the lunch break.

The two of them walked together under the warm spring sun, heading in Watson's direction.
