Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3090

Abel fell silent. Using Kassy for experiments? Absolutely not!

The thought that Luca might be doing things behind his back sparked a fierce determination in Abel's eyes. No matter what, he had to know if Luca was doing anything behind his back right now!

With this in mind, Abel put out his cigar and walked outside.

The venue's people were already ushering the crowd out at this moment. If he stayed here any longer, he would be kicked out soon.

When Shanks saw Abel leaving, he followed him and left too.

…

Indeed, Luca was doing things behind Abel's back.

When Luke's men discovered the fourth medicinal ingredient, she made a ruthless decision to have Warren inform them to purchase all of it from the herbalist.

However, they could not buy the herb under Luke's name. They had to set up a random company and purchase all of it on the spot and take it away.

Luke's men did exactly as she instructed.

Fortunately, the herbalist did not have much stock either—just a few pounds. Now, the fourth herb was in the trunk of Luke's car.

Since there were important herbs in the car, Warren sat in the car waiting for the rest to finish their meal when they went to have dinner.

After dinner, Luke asked Warren to send Evan back to the hotel first.

After Warren took Evan to the hotel, Luke gave him some money to have a good meal himself. Then, he personally drove back to the Crawfords' ancestral home in X City.

Considering that Otto was around, Luca dared not to check the herbs that were in the trunk of the car in the garden. She could only pretend that there was nothing in the trunk.

She suppressed the slight excitement in her heart, greeted Otto, and made her way upstairs with Luke.

After they came upstairs, Luca closed the bedroom door.

Luke came over to check the bruise on her abdomen, but he heard her ask, "Is this really okay?"

"There won't be any problem," Luke replied affirmatively.

"But I'm still afraid..." Luca felt her heart beating rapidly, worried that something bad might happen.

Even though Abel did not have anyone watch over her today, he would surely be suspicious since the collection of herbs did not go smoothly today.

What if Abel suspected that she purchased the herbs and came to investigate? What should she do?

She had no idea if Abel would do such a thing.

The key was that all those medicinal herbs were in the trunk...

If Abel found out about it, Luke and Luca would be at risk of exposure.

"Don't be afraid." Luke let out a helpless sigh when he saw how significant was the psychological impact Abel had left on Luca. "I have a plan."

Luca's eyes flickered, and she asked eagerly. "What plan?"

"You'll know soon enough. Rest assured, I'll protect you and our child. Even if Abel sends someone here to investigate later, they won't find anything," Luke said confidently. He was even more concerned that Abel's men would not show up…

If Abel's men showed up, he would not mind getting rid of Abel's subordinates in X City.

Eliminating even one would significantly reduce their obstacles in the future.

Luke was patient in his actions. Even if the enemy still had his child, he could not afford to be anxious.

Anxiety led to mistakes, and he could not let his carefully laid plans be ruined by impatience.

"You're secretly arranging things again and not telling me." When Luca heard Luke say this, she knew he had arranged something. However, from the looks of it, he did not intend to tell her.

Even if she asked, Luke might not even tell her.

"Do you suspect Otto?" asked Luca. Abel could silently arrange for his subordinates to be around them.

Without careful observation, it would be difficult to detect any issues.
