Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3019

The situation was different now.

They were no longer involved with the Island of Despair. They were constantly investigating the organization. Moreover, the Island of Despair was an underground organization, making it difficult for them to gather intelligence.

That was why there was a need for extensive pre-preparation. Otherwise, the later rescue efforts would be challenging.

After Rain left, Luke picked up the document again. Having already memorized it, he found it unnecessary and tore it into pieces. Then, he tossed the shreds into the ashtray, watching them succumb to the flames until they were all but ashes.

Only destroyed information was truly secure.

Luke took the matter of the Island of Despair seriously because it affected him and Luca. Therefore, he was meticulous in every detail.

A message notification came from his phone.

Luke checked his phone and realized it was a message from Luca.

It was a simple text explaining that Nina would be staying with them, along with her current situation. It ended with a reminder to eat on time.

A faint smile played across his lips. He appreciated the concern expressed by Luca, even if it was just a short message.

After replying with a simple 'okay', Luke made an internal call and instructed Jason to bring him dinner.

He would heed Luca's advice.

...

In the university town, Vivian received a call and quickly excused herself from the evening self-study session. Carrying her backpack, she rushed out of the campus gate.

She was slightly surprised when she saw a familiar tall figure. She walked toward him and asked, "Aaron, what brings you here?"

Aaron, the one sent by Ray to deliver the document to Luke, wore a shy smile when he saw Vivian.

A burly man showing such a smile struck Vivian with an indescribable visual impact.

It was quite shocking.

He was a man with ordinary features but a well-toned physique, but he wore a shy smile that seemed more fitting for a delicate woman. The sight caught her attention…

"What's wrong?" Vivian asked again. Then, upon recalling something, she added, "Is my brother here?"

"No, Mr. Lacroix didn’t come. Actually, I'm here to carry out the task assigned by Mr. Lacroix. I also came here to see you, Ms. Vivian. Good evening!" Aaron performed a family salute while they were surrounded by the bustling campus crowd.

Vivian felt embarrassed. There were so many students coming and going. Aaron's gesture attracted a lot of attention.

There were many foreign students at Capital University, so seeing a foreign face was not that novel for them. Still, the salute piqued the curiosity of many students.

"Aaron, we’re not in Russia, and this is definitely not a family gathering. You don't have to salute me. People will gather around us," Vivian reminded him in a soft voice.

Aaron noticed the puzzled look on the students’ faces and awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, Ms. Vivian. I forgot."

"It's okay. Did you deliver the document?" Vivian shook her head. She did not want to put on any airs of a young lady of a noble Russian family here.
