Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2947

"Alright, Dr. Craw. I'll go grab a meal first.” After Rhett left, Luca was the only one left in the laboratory.

[Dr. Park, if I go, Mrs. Norman's situation might worsen.] Luca had no choice but to confess when Johann was persistently trying to persuade her.

She figured Johann probably had not paid much attention to these kinds of gossip news.

Therefore, he did not know that Queenie ended up in the hospital due to her rumored relationship with Luke, which was also what triggered her high blood pressure.

After a while, Johann pretended that he had only realized it and replied to her: [So it's about that…]

Luca let out a sigh, not because it dawned on Johann later but because of her own helplessness.

She wanted to personally treat Queenie, but could she?

She did not even have the courage to show herself in front of Queenie now.

[If we let Dr. Wood or the head of the naturopathy department perform dry needling on Mrs. Norman, the results might be limited. After all, their knowledge differs significantly from yours. How about this? I'll observe the patient's condition first.]

Johann responded without continuing to persuade her when Luca expressed her concerns.

After sending the message, he took a screenshot of the chat and sent it to Luke.

[I've done what you asked.]

Luke replied: [Wait until tomorrow, then talk to Luca again.] Luca was not willing to talk, and everything needed to proceed slowly.

Johann replied: [Alright, remember to treat me to a meal once it's done.]

…

Luca did not know that Luke had sought Johann's help. As she looked at Johann's messages, she felt uneasy in her heart.

Queenie was not doing well, and her affair with Luke had caused her a lot of stress.

Luca rose to her feet. When she was about to return to her office, she received another message from Johann.

[Dr. Craw, everything I told you today is without Luke's knowledge. He asked me not to share this with you. Please keep it confidential and don't let it leak out.]

[Alright, I understand.] Luca slightly furrowed her brows, trusting Johann's words easily.

Luke did not want her to know about Queenie's condition because he was afraid it would probably make her feel guilty…

Luca's heart grew even heavier. Luke always silently carried all of this on his own, saying it was for her own good. However, they were husband and wife, and they should face everything together.

Yet, Luke chose to bear it alone because she was now someone else.

[Dr. Park, if there's anything wrong with Mrs. Norman's health, please inform me immediately.] Luca implored once more.

[Alright, I'll definitely let you know right away.] Johann readily agreed.

[And also, regarding the Rayne family…] Luca was worried.

Wanda was alright. She did not end up in the hospital due to cardiovascular issues, and she did not have such conditions in her normal life either. Even if she got worked up about her relationship with Luke, there would not be any danger.

Luca was worried about Old Man Rayne.

He had just undergone a major surgery. Even though he was in the process of recovery, he could not handle any additional stress or shocks.

[I understand, but you also have to promise to keep it a secret. You know how terrifying Luke can be. He told me not to burden you with these troublesome matters. Don’t betray me.]

Johann assured her, emphasizing that Luke had strongly warned him. He once again requested her help in keeping it a secret.

For him, Luca's requests were in line with his intentions.

Otherwise, it would have been strange for him to bring up this matter out of the blue.

Now that Luca had put it this way, he could better fulfill Luke's request and keep in touch with Luca without arousing suspicion when he occasionally shared concerns about Queenie's and Wanda's conditions.
