Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 If You Can Be So Gentle and Obedient All the Time, Bianca...

Luke turned around. He wanted to step outside to smoke so that he could calm down.

He was about to step out of the exit when a small but pale hand gently grabbed onto the hem of his shirt.

He turned around and saw Bianca's tear-streaked face. "Please, Luke, don't go," she begged.

She was crouching like an abandoned kitten, which softened Luke's heart at once.

The smell of disinfectant almost made Bianca throw up, and the syringe in the nurse's hand made her extremely afraid.

She carried too many painful memories in her mind, and they had caused her to be fearful even years later.

Bianca's trembling fingers tightly held onto Luke's finger. She was afraid that he would abandon her in this nightmarish place.

She fell into his arms. Luke had never seen her so fragile before.

It was not uncommon for a child to be so afraid of needles. However, Bianca was an adult, and there must be something that he did not know that caused her phobia.

Til have to investigate this when I get back,' Luke thought.

He carried Bianca in his arms. Seeing that she was rubbing her stomach, he knew that the table must have hit her there.

He began to regret what he did earlier.

He should not have been so unreasonable with her.

Bianca calmed down when she was in Luke's embrace. She hugged her neck tightly as though he was the only one she could trust. Those strong arms were like a safe haven that temporarily shielded her from those painful memories.

Luke held her tight and took her petite hand into his hand. "It's fine. How about we go to another hospital?" He tried to persuade her.

Bianca shook her head. "I don't want to go to the hospital. I only want to go home," she said earnestly.

The hospital was a place where life and death converged. The lives of many newborns started at the hospital, but at the same time, so many frail lives ended there.

The hospital had needles which Bianca feared. Her father died in a hospital. She had an aversion toward hospitals.

Luke stared at Bianca, not giving any of his emotions away in those profound eyes. "OK, let's go home," he said.

Bianca grabbed the man's sleeve tightly, as though she was afraid that he might reverse the decision. Her eyes were transfixed on the man's feet.

When she felt the cold and piercing wind of the outdoors blow on her face, she loosened her grip slightly.

As Luke carried her to the parking lot, he realized that Bianca seemed to have loosened her grip around his neck.

He lowered his head to see and found that Bianca had fallen asleep.

He kissed her forehead gently and carefully placed her inside the car.

The black Land Rover sped on the road and melded into the night.

Luke did not bring her to other hospitals. Instead, he brought her back to his mansion and called the Crawford family's private doctor.
