Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2977

At 11 o'clock, Louis harbored the desire to continue their conversation a while longer, but he was abruptly interrupted by Luke.

"I'm going to bed with your sister-in-law now, so do your own thing.”

Louis blinked his eyes and replied, "I get it, Brother. You don’t have to worry about me. I promise I won't disturb you."

Then, he rose to his feet and opened the wardrobe.

Luke casually tossed a set of sleepwear and underwear he had never worn into his arms. "Be quiet at night. Don't freak out the kids."

"Do you still think I'm the same Louis who used to go wild at home? I've become mature and responsible now!" Louis protested as he caught the clothes that were thrown at him.

Luke seemed to ignore his protest and headed to the bathroom with a set of fresh sleepwear in his hands.

"Brother, are you sleeping in that room?" Louis blinked his eyes. Luca had just entered the opposite bedroom a moment ago…

Could it be that his brother had done something wrong and was punished to sleep alone?

"I’m washing up here. I’ll go back there to sleep later. I won't disturb Luca that way," Luke replied and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Louis responded with a hum and headed toward the guest room.

It was quiet at night. After Luke took a shower, he returned to the opposite bedroom. Luca was still awake, leaning against the edge of the bed.

Luke also sat down and leaned against the edge of the bed.

As soon as he did, he heard Luca ask, "How are things going with Mrs. Norman and Ms. Rayne now?"

Luke appeared calm and replied, "They're doing well in the hospital."

Luca furrowed her brows. "Really? Has Mrs. Norman’s blood pressure stabilized?"

"Yes," Luke responded vaguely at this moment, not expecting Luca to bring up this matter at this time. It might affect her sleep.

"Luke..." Luca could not help but feel a little sad, thinking that Luke was trying not to worry her by saying this.

Luca had asked Johann about Queenie’s condition at noon today. She had not improved.

She would get dizzy if she got out of bed. Hence, she had to lay in bed most of the time.

As for Wanda, according to the caretaker who was taking care of her, she had no appetite and even resisted treatment…

Luca had been holding it in until after work when she saw the children looking forward to going out for a meal together. She had no choice but to pretend she knew nothing and joined them to have dinner together.

After all, the kids were very sensible. If she carried all these things in her heart, they would sense it and start thinking wildly.

Now that the kids were asleep and it was quiet, her seemingly relaxed heart instantly tightened when she thought about Queenie and Wanda’s situation.

"It's getting late. You should rest early." Luke planted a kiss on her forehead.

The moist sensation entered her heart. He still insisted on keeping everything hidden at this point.

How much pressure was he shouldering alone...

Luca lowered her gaze, clenched her fist tightly, then loosened it a bit. She eventually clenched it again. "I'm not very sleepy..."

"Take a melatonin pill. You need to rest even if you're not tired. Otherwise, you'll wake up tomorrow morning feeling groggy," advised Luke as he got out of bed and found the bottle of melatonin pills on her bedside table.

Luca felt uneasy as well. She had been relying on melatonin pills for sleep for several consecutive days.

"How could you sleep so soundly..."

"I was having trouble sleeping last night, tossing and turning. I didn't get some proper rest until around four in the morning." Louis yawned. That was probably why he did not wake up when the kids came in.

"Oh." Lanie nodded, pondered for a moment, and offered him some advice, "Uncle Louis, we have another guest room in our house. You could get yourself a bed that you're used to and set it up here.

"If Grandma Susan kicks you out again, you can spend the night here. You won’t have trouble sleeping when you’re in a different or unfamiliar bed then.”

"Kid, are you cursing me? Next time? Do you think I'd let myself be kicked out so easily again?" Louis lifted the covers.

Lanie nodded. "Great-grandpa used to kick you out often, and now Grandma Susan is doing the same thing. Uncle Louis, I feel sorry for you. Even in your own place, you still get the boot.”

anie earnestly said words that got Louis' blood boiling.

"Okay, okay, stop it. Don't you still have to go to school? Go and eat your breakfast!" In an effort to save his dignity, he urged the three of them to go downstairs for breakfast.

"Alright. Uncle Louis, we'll go downstairs for breakfast. You should come down quickly too. Aunt Neile made burgers today, and Ms. Craw is the one who seasoned the patties. They taste really good," said Rainie.

When she woke up and headed downstairs, she caught a whiff of the aroma of the burgers, and her eyes lit up.

Aunt Neile said that the patties were seasoned by Luca, so they must be very good.

"Ms. Craw seasoned them? Have Aunt Neile save me one. Oh, no, make it two. I've got a big appetite," replied Louis as he recalled his sister-in-law's cooking skills, which were excellent.

The food she made was very delicious.

He quickened his pace and headed into the bathroom to freshen up at the thought of this.

"No need to rush, Uncle Louis. Aunt Neile said she prepared a lot. There’s enough for you." After that, Rainie followed her brothers downstairs.
