Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3096

"If you're willing to tell the truth, I'll take the needle out," murmured Luca. She knew how much pain Stan was enduring, but she also knew that this amount of pain would not kill anyone.

Stan listened to Luca's words, but the pain made it impossible for him to think. At the same time, he dared not to compromise. He just kept saying, "It hurts, it hurts so much. Oh, it hurts. Help. It's killing me..."

Stan screamed wildly, but Luca paid no attention.

The soundproofing in this old mansion was done very well. Even though the alarm outside could be heard from the inside, the sounds from inside could not easily transmit to the outside because they had already closed all the doors and windows of the house.

Now, they were essentially in a sealed space.

Stan continued to scream in agony for several minutes.

Luke grew increasingly impatient and muttered, "I really want to shut him up."

Luca reminded him helplessly, "Just one needle can make him mute, but if we do that, how can we make him confess?"

Luke nodded. Stan still needed him to talk. That was why he did not ask Luca to make Stan shut up.

Luca's gaze fell back on Stan. She was not the type to resort to coercion.

However, this time, Stan had put her and Luke in a dangerous situation. If she did not act, she would feel sorry for herself and Luke.

Fortunately, Luke was prepared this time. If they were not prepared, they might have already been discovered by Abel, and their daughter would have been in danger.

As Luca thought about their daughter, she pulled out another needle and pricked it directly into Stan's stomach.

"Ah!" Stan let out a piercing scream.

Luca said coldly, "Still not talking?"

Stan writhed in pain, but his limbs were tied, so he could only awkwardly shift into various positions on the bed as he tried to curl up.

Luca warned, "If the third needle goes in, it'll only get worse. Are you still refusing to talk?"

"I'll talk, I'll talk!" Stan immediately replied.

Luca's hand that was holding the needle paused. She looked at the person in front of her indifferently. "Go on."

Luke looked at Luca in front of him. Even though he found her somewhat unfamiliar, he was not surprised.

Luca had been on the Island of Despair for more than three years, and she had changed a lot.

She became like this because she was forced to.

If Luca had continued to be weak on the Island of Despair, the enemies would have been cruel to her and their daughter. Luca had to protect their daughter and herself.

Hence, she became what she was now. Luke felt sorry for her but could not do anything about it.

Luca did all this without an expression on her face.

Her strength and ruthlessness toward the enemy made Luke’s heart break even more.

It was his failure to protect Luca that led her to her current state.

Luke felt guilty deep inside...

Stan slowly spoke up, "I-I don't know who my superior is. I was arranged to work here by my nephew."

Stan spoke intermittently due to the pain. Luca removed one needle and left one to ensure Stan continued telling the truth.

"Back then, I was looking for a job as a butler, and one of my nephews found out about it. He recommended me to work here, claiming that he could help me forge a resume to impress the employer and get me hired.

"But he also had a condition for his help—I had to occasionally assist him with some small tasks, which I couldn't refuse..." With one needle removed, Stan sped up a little.
