Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3088

"No, you have to rest with me. You can't wait for me to fall asleep and then start working again," said Luca, wrapping her arm around Luke's waist.

She did this so that Luke would have to move her hand away if he tried to get up, and she would wake up immediately.

Luke knew her little trick, and a smile spread across his face as he said in a sweet tone, "Okay, I'll rest with you."

"No sneaking off to work,” added Luca.

"Okay." Luke looked at her affectionately. He then leaned over to plant a kiss on her forehead.

Luca hugged his waist and closed her eyes.

It was the scent she was familiar with. Shortly after closing her eyes, Luca drifted into her dreams.

Luke, as promised, also closed his eyes. He did not get up to work but instead accompanied her to sleep.

After a while, the alarm clock rang in the quiet room.

Luca slowly opened her eyes, glanced around, and remembered where she was. She reached for the phone on the bedside table and turned off the alarm.

Then, she turned on her side and slightly tilted her head back to meet Luke's gaze.

"Good afternoon." Luke's eyes were filled with a smile as he leaned down to give her a lingering kiss on her lips.

Luca's face turned slightly red.

After that, Luke chuckled softly and said, "Why are you blushing again?"

"I'm not blushing. That's just the makeup..." Luca whispered words she did not even believe herself.

"Uh-huh, it's the makeup." Luke pressed his lips against hers again.

Luca gently pushed him away. "You're smearing my lipstick!"

"It's okay, I'll make up for it if it's gone." Luke's eyes twinkled with amusement as he realized he had indeed kissed away the remaining lipstick from Luca's lips.

The man beside her was pressing her down. Luca gently pushed him and said, "I need to get up and do my makeup again."

"Okay." Luke agreed but did not move. If she were not injured, he would not be letting her off so easily.

Luca pushed him away again. "Stop fooling around. We have important tasks this afternoon."

There were still two more herbs to find, including the herbs she had not reported yet.

Luca was curious about why Shanks needed those herbs. That was why she planned to collect some for herself as well. She figured that once she collected them, she might have some ideas.

With this in mind, Luca knew she could not slack off in the afternoon when it came to finding those herbs.

"Okay." Things about Abel crossed Luke’s mind. A hint of seriousness flashed across his eyes as he sat up.

Abel, along with the organization behind him, was indeed not to be underestimated.

The moment he sat up, Luca followed suit.

Luca frowned when she sat up as she had forgotten to pay attention to the bruise on her lower abdomen.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Luke noticed that. He looked concerned as he tried to lift her clothes to see if her bruise had worsened. "Let me see. If it's serious, we must go see a doctor."

Even though Luca said that Abel had avoided her vital organs, who knew if he left any hidden dangers?

Luke had witnessed the methods used to interrogate prisoners on the Island of Despair. A simple twist could make someone endure unbearable pain, and they could only rely on painkillers to get through those difficult seven days.

He was worried that Abel might retaliate against Luca using similar methods.
