Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3083

After Shanks’ reminder, Abel pondered for a moment and decided not to continue talking about Luca.

Luca was now standing beside Luke, attracting as much attention as Luke did. If he continued discussing, those who were curious might overhear and use translation software to translate their conversation.

The industry networking event was not a large-scale event to begin with. The venue’s space was limited, so the seating arrangements were dense. The seats around them were already filled with people now.

Abel looked disdainfully at the people around him and complained to Shanks, "If it weren't for your need for medicinal herbs, I wouldn't have come."

Shanks shot him a cold glance and reminded him, "Who do I need those herbs for?"

Abel fell silent.

Shanks needed those herbs for Kassy.

Even though Kassy was currently imprisoned and suffering greatly because of Luke, Abel had never given up on the idea of saving her.

However, Abel knew that saving Kassy would not be easy. When Kassy returned, she had to be in a better condition, or else she might lose the courage to live.

Abel heard that Kassy had attempted suicide many times because of her current situation and was now being closely monitored.

He wanted to save Kassy and her heart.

Saving Kassy’s heart could only be achieved by improving her condition. Shanks had the ability to do that, but the prerequisite for her recovery was acquiring the herbs he needed.

Treating Kassy would be troublesome, and only by obtaining those herbs and researching a pill could she be restored to her former self.

Therefore, despite Abel's disdain for attending such events, he still came.

He was being extremely careful and was really anxious to find the medication for Kassy.

The person on the podium began their speech and talked about the history of this industry networking event as well as its significance. The content was tedious, making the audience bored.

Luca took out her phone. Using the chairs in front as a shield, she looked at the list of herbs that Shanks had just sent her.

She once again confirmed the medicinal value of various herbs and found that she had not remembered them wrong. Most of the herbs were poisonous.

What was Shanks planning to do with so many poisonous herbs?

Luca tried to figure out how to combine these herbs and what medicine could be concocted from them, but her mind was in chaos. She could not think of anything now.

Moreover, Abel's punch landed on her abdomen. Although she appeared fine, it had caused a dull ache.

Even though no internal organs were injured, there was probably a bruise.

Luca heard a round of applause, signaling the end of the speech. She put away her phone and also joined in the applause.

Next, the leaders of X City announced the official start of the industry networking event.

Then, everyone stood up. The next program was for various companies to select medicinal herbs and discuss cooperation with other pharmaceutical companies.

Suddenly, many people gathered around Luke again, and some of them were also targeting Evan.

However, Evan's phone rang at that moment.

He apologized to the people who had surrounded him and walked aside to answer the phone.

Luca probably guessed that the call Evan received was from Luke’s subordinate.

Sure enough, not long after, Evan walked over and said to Luke, "Mr. Crawford, please excuse me. I'll start by discussing collaboration with other drug suppliers.”

Luke understood the implication behind those words. It indicated that Gale was looking for him. Thus, he nodded without saying anything.

Evan then addressed those who wanted to discuss cooperation and said, "Apologies, everyone. I have to head out to purchase some medicinal herbs for the company and touch base with our long-term pharmaceutical partners.

"By the way, here's my business card. Let's connect when we have some free time."

Then, he handed out his business cards.

He had about 20 or 30 of them, but soon, all the cards were taken by those people.
