Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3061

"Luca, just wait and see!" At this moment, Marie knew that threatening Luca would be futile no matter how she went about it. After she failed to threaten Luca, she stomped her foot and walked away from the hospital entrance.

Luca shook his head and reminded her, "You still need to see a doctor."

Marie recalled that she had to see a doctor for a check-up and get some medicine. Hence, she glared at Luca, turned around, and headed toward the hospital's pharmacy.

Luca did not take Marie's threats seriously.

Marie would not dare to provoke Luke now. Otherwise, she would only get herself in more trouble.

At the thought of how Marie used to have a good life but suddenly ended up in such a situation, Luca sighed emotionally.

After Luca arrived at Lanie's school, she found that he had already finished the competition and was standing at the security booth waiting for her.

Luca quickly parked the car on the side, opened the door, and approached. She noticed that even though Lanie was sheltered under the security booth's shade, beads of sweat had formed on his forehead. The weather was too hot.

She could not help but feel sorry for him, and her resentment toward Marie grew.

If it were not for Marie stopping her from leaving, Lanie would not have had to wait for such a long time. "Lanie, you've been waiting for a long time, huh? Why didn't you wait in the classroom? Look, you're sweating."

Lanie shook his head and replied, "I just came out not long ago."

As Luca looked at the sweat on the child's forehead, she felt sorry for him. However, there was nothing she could do. She quickly pulled him into the car. "Just wait in the classroom next time. I'll come in to find you."

"But parents can't drive into the school, and the schoolyard is very sunny. The school is also big." Lanie had thought about it, which was why he had been standing under the security booth's shade after the end of the competition, waiting for Luca.

He thought Luca would come to pick him up on time, but she was unexpectedly late.

However, Lanie knew she must not have deliberately been late. Perhaps something delayed her.

Luca sat in the driver’s seat, listening to Lanie. She paused for a moment, realizing that Lanie did not want her to walk that distance. That was why he waited under the security booth.

This child would rather endure the heat than let her suffer.

A gentle warmth filled the depths of her heart knowing how endearing Lanie was.

She started the car engine and explained, "I'm an adult. Walking a few steps is considered exercise. You're a child, and with the sun this strong, you might still get a heatstroke even if you stand under the shade."

"It’s okay. I'm healthy." Lanie shook his head and curiously asked, "Ms. Luca, did something happen to you?"

"Yes. I was going to visit your Grandpa Rayne in the hospital, but I didn't expect to run into someone. She insisted on chatting with me for quite a while. That’s why I was late," Luca explained with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Oh, I see." Lanie astutely noticed that Luca did not mention the person’s name, so he decided not to ask further. Instead, he asked, "Is Grandpa Rayne feeling better now?"

"Much better. He should be able to go home in a little over a week. Would you like to visit him when he’s back home?" asked Luca. She knew that Old Man Rayne loved his grandchildren the most. If the kids went to visit him, he would be very happy.

"Okay!" Lanie nodded. He was fond of Old Man Rayne too. When Luca suggested visiting him, he readily agreed.

After all, Old Man Rayne was the one who raised his mother…

If it were not for those reporters writing nonsense lately, they would have visited him in the hospital.

Their father told them that the reporters had been keeping an eye on their family. That was why they could not go to the hospital.
