Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2965

Seeing how Lanie interrupted her, Luca reckoned that Luke had told the kids something.

Was he trying to hide the fact that he was going to the hospital?

Before Luca could voice her doubts, Aunt Neile seemed to have just remembered something. She nodded and quickly said, “Yes, Mr. Crawford is at the company. He’ll be working until late at night today, so he won’t be back for dinner. Ms. Craw, why don’t you have dinner first?”

“Okay.” She nodded without questioning further.

Even if the children were deliberately hiding it from her, there was nothing she could do. Besides, she would feel bad exposing the children’s lies.

“Let’s eat, then. Young Master Blanche, Young Master Tommy, and Ms. Rainie, go wash your hands.” After saying that, Aunt Neile turned to walk into the kitchen to prepare the food.

Luca followed Aunt Neile into the kitchen to help.

“Aunt Neile, are you hiding something?” Luca asked.

Aunt Neile was startled. Then, she smiled and shook her head. “Ms. Craw, I’m not hiding anything.”

Before Luca could expose her lies, she heard her say, “Mr. Crawford is really working overtime. Don’t think about it too much.”

“Alright,” replied Luca. It was impossible for her to not overthink.

Was Luke really working overtime?

The thought of him at the hospital and her not knowing anything going on there made her feel even more uneasy.

However, if Aunt Neile and the children both refused to say anything, there was nothing she could do.

Luca did not bring it up again.

After dinner, Luca checked the children’s homework.

She did not say anything until Aunt Neile got off work. After checking the children’s homework, she imitated Luke’s handwriting and signed his name.

Then, she watched cartoons with the kids.

While the kids were watching cartoons, she took a look at her experimental data. The sound of the cartoons did not disturb her. Her eyes may be on the paper, but all she could think about was Luke and the people at the hospital.

The three children occasionally exchanged glances as if they were discussing Luca’s state. When Luca looked up, their gaze fell back on the television.

Luca knew why they acted that way, but the more they did it, the more uneasy she felt. She made up her mind to do something. After the cartoon show ended, Luca urged the children to wash up and go to bed early.

When the children fell asleep, Luca glanced at the time. Luke was not back yet.

If everything was fine at the hospital, Luke would not have stayed out this late.

Luca wanted to ask Johann, but she was afraid that Johann would not be on duty at this time. If she wanted to find out what was going on, she would have to ask someone who was on duty. She was embarrassed to keep asking him as well.

She sat on the living room sofa on the second floor and gave it some thought before calling Nina.

She did not want to trouble anyone, but the only person she could call right now was Nina. She wanted to go to the hospital to see what was going on, but she could not leave the children unattended.

Although the children were asleep, they would be scared if they woke up and saw that no one was home.

Luke had informed Aunt Neile, so if she had asked her to stay, Luke would have found out. He may even rush back before she reached the hospital, regardless of whether the matter was resolved or not.

Luca did not want him to go back and forth because of her, nor did she want him to go through so much trouble alone just to take care of her emotions.

She knew Luke too well, so she could not bear to watch him go through all of this.
