Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2971

After her training in the Island of Despair and studying medicine for over two years, Luca had developed a skill. She could estimate the weight of anything that was in her hands.

Shanks had mentioned before that to be a good pharmacist, one had to be sensitive to the weight of things. In order to achieve that, Shanks specifically asked her to train for two months to master that skill.

After seasoning the minced meat, she passed it to Aunt Neile.

“Ms. Craw, that’s very impressive.” Aunt Neile praised before wrapping the meat in plastic wrap and putting it in the fridge.

“Aunt Neile, you can go back early,” Luca told Aunt Neile after washing her hands. She walked out of the kitchen with a plate of washed fruits.

When she got to the living room, she heard Lanie say, “Ms. Luca, I’m done with my homework.”

He was slightly smarter than Rainie, and the homework was fairly easy for him, so he would usually be the first to finish it. Today, he finished it even faster because they were going to eat out.

“That was fast. Here, have some fruits and I’ll check it.” Luca placed the fruits on the coffee table and sat on the armchair before picking up Lanie’s workbook to check it.

Although Lanie was smart, Luca still checked it carefully until she was sure that there were no mistakes. Then, she simply picked up a pen and signed Luke’s name.

Then, Rainie finished hers too.

“Ms. Luca, I’m done with my homework.” She handed over her workbook.

Luca continued to check their homework while Lanie ate the fruits. After a while, Luke still had yet to come back, so they asked, “When is Daddy coming back?”

Rainie shook her head as she glanced at the time. If he was not working overtime, he should be home by now.

“Is Daddy working overtime again?” Tommy suddenly looked at his siblings. The three of them had negotiated with their father this morning about going out for a family dinner.

They could not help but grumble at the thought of how busy their father was. Could it be that their workaholic dad forgot about the dinner?

“I don’t know.” Lanie was not sure either.

Then, Tommy added, “If Daddy really forgot about it and is still at work, will we have nothing to eat? Why don’t we go ask Daddy?”

Lanie looked at his younger brother, who was worried about going hungry, and said coolly, “Daddy won’t forget. Even if he did, Ms. Luca is here. She won’t let you go hungry. Hurry up and finish your homework. Don’t call Dad.”

He trusted that their dad would not forget.

Their mom was the most important person to him. Tonight’s dinner was also a date for their mom and dad, so there was no way their dad would forget tonight’s dinner because of work.

“Okay,” muttered Tommy after listening to Lanie. He continued concentrating on his homework.

Luca listened to the kids' conversation and glanced at the time. If Luke was not working overtime, he indeed would have been back by now. Did something go wrong at the hospital?

She glanced at the children. Lanie and Rainie were sitting on the sofa, eating fruits and reading.

On the other hand, Tommy was working hard to finish his homework.

Luca thought to herself that if Luke came back late, she would not let the children go hungry.

However, if something really happened at the hospital, she could not leave the children at home…

Luca’s eyebrows knitted together at the thought of that.

Rainie noticed that her mind was drifting off, so she asked, “Ms. Luca, did I make a mistake?”

Then, Luca came back to her senses and shook her head. “No. Are you all hungry?”

“No. I have fruits,” Rainie replied with a smile as she took another bite of fruit.

Lanie found it strange, but he did not ask why.

After parking the car, Luke strode in and saw Luca and the kids in the living room. His stern face then softened into a grin.

“I’ll go upstairs to change, then we’ll go,” he said. His formal attire was not very appropriate for a family dinner.

“Okay, Daddy,” said the three kids in unison, whereas Luca nodded.

Luke quickly went upstairs.

Then, Luca’s gaze fell upon Tommy’s workbook. Some of his handwriting was rather messy, and she could not just ignore it.

It was important for children to have good handwriting, especially when they sat for the SATs in the future.

Luca pointed to the workbook and said, “Tommy, you should practice your handwriting.”

“Huh?” Tommy walked up to her and looked at where she pointed.

“It’s too messy. Is it like that because you did your homework in a rush?” Luca figured out the reason behind the kid’s sloppy handwriting.

Despite that, she still thought that he should practice his handwriting. Messy handwriting was a sign of impatience.

It was fine for him to be a bit playful, but he could not be impatient.

Practicing his handwriting was a good way to train him to be more patient.

Tommy smiled and nodded. “Yes. I was afraid that Daddy would come back soon…”

“Why don’t we start practicing your handwriting tomorrow?” Although it was a question, Luca said it with certainty as she had already made the decision for him.
