Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2984

Little chat? What should they talk about?

Luca's heart felt an inexplicable sorrow. Queenie seemed like she wanted to say something. She hardly needed to think deeply to know what it was.

Did she have to agree with Queenie and leave Luke?

She did not want to do that. Moreover, she had not forgotten Abel’s warning.

She loved Luke, Queenie, and her three children, but she also loved Nyla. If she did not obey Abel's orders, not only would she suffer, but Nyla, who was on the Island of Despair, would suffer too.

She could not let the child suffer more because of her.

There were many psychos on the Island of Despair. She had to protect her daughter. Since she did not have the ability to save her child from the Island of Despair yet, she could only obediently follow Abel's instructions. This was the best way to protect the child.

If Luca pretended to agree to Queenie to leave Luke but actually went against her word, Queenie would eventually find out.

Luca understood human nature. If Queenie ever had doubts, even if her physical indicators returned to normal after being discharged from the hospital, she would frequently investigate Luke's life.

If Luca continued to be with Luke, Queenie would eventually find out.

Things would probably get worse when that happened…

Luca quickly thought about it. As Queenie noticed that, she made her breathing sound even heavier, like she was really struggling to catch her breath.

Johann, who was beside them, was witnessing this. He could not help but praise Queenie. Queenie, born to be an actress, portrayed even the difficulty in breathing so convincingly.

Luca was indeed Queenie's biological daughter. She never took any acting classes, but there were times when her knack for performing was just outstanding.

"The patient is having difficulty breathing. She requires oxygen." Johann, playing along, immediately stepped forward. He took on the role of an actor. He walked directly to the bedside, picked up the oxygen tube, and intended to give it to Queenie.

Queenie weakly raised her hand, pushing Johann's hand away with little strength.

"Mrs. Norman, you need it!" Johann cooperated with her, pretending to be serious.

"If... If Luca refuses to talk to me, I'd rather die than use it!" Queenie gasped for breath.

Luca's eyes reddened. Queenie was forcing her!

The discomfort in her heart surged even more with Queenie's words, and the escalating tension was colliding against the walls of her chest. She clenched her fists, thinking that there might be a way out.

Luca took a deep breath and looked at Johann. "Dr. Park, I’d like to speak to Mrs. Norman alone."

Johann nodded, shot a glance at Queenie, and handed the oxygen tube to her. "Mrs. Norman, if you can't breathe, you’ll still need to use the oxygen. Don't force yourself."

After that, he turned away from Luca and blinked at Queenie. Then, he left the ward.

The ward was now left with only two people.

Luca remained silent as she slightly lowered her gaze. She thought about the words she wanted to say, figuring out how to start.

Queenie breathed heavily like a dying patient wanting to just live a few more seconds in this world.

However, the truth was not what it seemed. Queenie just wanted to prompt Luca to tell the truth with such actions.

Her poor daughter. How much hardship had she endured for the past three to four years?

Even though parents were supposed to protect their children, Queenie was unable to do anything. She felt her heart ache over it. This time, the sensation she felt was real and not an act. It was genuine pain that made her breathe a bit harder.

Luca's fingers tightened into fists as Queenie's breathing grew heavier. Her nails were digging into the palms of her hands.

Due to years of experiments, Luca had not kept long nails to prevent herself from accidentally scratching her palms. However, if she were to stretch out her fingers now, there would undoubtedly be deep nail impressions on her palms.
