Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2983

"Regardless of what's on your mind, we need to act fast now. It's a matter of life and death," said Johann as he looked at how Luca hesitated with a hint of helplessness.

While she was attending to other patients, she displayed a decisive and efficient demeanor. It was as though she was one of the hospital's doctors, racing against the clock to snatch back lives from the clutches of the Grim Reaper.

However, Luca became indecisive when it came to Queenie’s situation.

Johann could understand, but he still felt a bit helpless.

"Dr. Park, I'm concerned that Mrs. Norman might get emotional when she sees me. How about this? You get the sedative ready. If she gets agitated, give her the shot, and I'll proceed with dry needling."

Luca took a deep breath. Even though using sedatives excessively was harmful to the body, it seemed like the only option now.

Luca was afraid that once she stepped into the ward, Queenie's emotions might soar, causing her blood pressure to skyrocket.

"Alright, but I need to assess the patient's condition. She's not in the right state for a sedative in her current state. I'll have to figure something out before I hit her with anything big."

Although Johann knew Queenie did not actually need a sedative, he agreed with Luca.

He had to play the whole act.

He had to pretend not to know. Otherwise, if there were any slip-ups, Luke's carefully orchestrated plan might fail, and he would not be able to explain himself.

"Got it," Luca nodded, agreeing with him.

Johann immediately went to the nurse's station and prescribed a sedative for Queenie. The pharmacy quickly delivered the medicine to him. As Johann held the sedative, he returned to the ward.

"Dr. Craw, the sedative is ready."

Luca took another deep breath, turned off her phone, and mustered her courage. She took a step forward. Her hands landed on the door handle. The icy sensation crept from her palm, tracing a chilly path down to her feet.

She felt as though she had been submerged in an ice bucket, with the air around her freezing. She simply could not muster any warmth.

Enduring the discomfort in her body, she pushed the door open.

There was a faint creak. The door opened with a faint sound due to the high-quality door of the VIP ward. However, Luca was currently full of nerves and was on edge due to the noise.

This sound was equivalent to her truly facing Queenie. She was unable to predict the upcoming situation.

Luca did have a way to temporarily stabilize the blood pressure of a hypertensive patient using dry needling. That was why she would not panic in such situations.

What made her anxious was that the person she needed to treat was Queenie.

She wanted to save Queenie, but at the same time, she was afraid of facing her questioning, disappointed, and angry face…

She should be doing her duties as her daughter, not upsetting her mother.

The maid in the ward turned around and met Johann’s eyes when she saw Luca come in. Then, she said, "Dr. Park, Ms. Craw, please help Mrs. Norman. She… She..."

The maid forgot the lines Queenie told her earlier.

Johann quickly took over. "We need to treat the patient. You may leave first."

The maid remembered Johann's earlier instructions when she heard this. She glanced at Queenie on the bed and quickly walked out.

Then, she closed the door behind her.

Luca stared at Queenie, who was lying on the hospital bed, with reddened eyes.

Her complexion was dismal, and even her lips were pale. However, her bed was not fully reclined. Instead, she was semi-reclined on the bed. The nearby instruments were beeping, indicating the patient's critical condition.

Queenie was also looking at her.

Luca noticed her weak expression. She could not help but be struck when she caught a glimpse of her own reflection. A multitude of emotions flashed across her eyes, leaving Luca stunned for a moment.

Her lips parted slightly, yet she could not manage to utter a single word.
