Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3100

"What about the other option?" Gerald asked.

"Although the tumor is still small at the moment and doesn't seem to pose an immediate threat, there's always a risk of rupture. So, the second treatment option would be surgery to remove the patient's tumor.

"This is a surgical method and carries certain risks, but in the long run, it's safer for the patient. It depends on the family's decision," the doctor explained the second treatment suggestion, which essentially meant hospitalization.

"This isn't something I can decide alone. I need to discuss it with my family." Gerald realized that making a decision about surgery would be complicated. That was why he did not make the decision for Stan.

"Well, discuss it with your family first. Let us know when you've made a decision. For now, we'll transfer the patient to the Neurosurgery Department in the hospital. The family needs to complete the admission procedures and make the payment."

The doctor replied as he handed Gerald the hospital admission form.

Gerald took the form and handed it directly to Luke. "You're the employer, and this accident happened at your place. You should handle the payment."

Luke raised an eyebrow and said, "Fine. Anyway, Mr. Muller must've been given a scare by those two thieves. Later, I'll have the police hold those two accountable. They'll cover all the medical expenses."

His words made Gerald's expression change.

Why did Luke keep mentioning Jacob and Harold in front of him?

Did he know something?

That could not be. They never contacted each other while working for Abel so as to not raise any suspicion. If one of them got into trouble, they would deal with it separately and would not implicate each other.

Luke took Stan’s identification card from Luca. She found it before she left the house.

When Luke was ready to go pay, he turned around and said to Gerald, "But I wonder if those two made it out alive."

What did he mean?!

Gerald almost blurted out the words, but he clenched his teeth and held back.

He could not do that. It would only raise suspicion.

Gerald shifted his gaze to Luca, planning to fish for information from her later.

Luke glanced at Luca and then left to pay. Luca followed him out of the doctor's office.

Gerald hurriedly followed them. When he came close to Luca, he glanced around. It was late at night, and there were not many people in the hospital. He decided to ask, "How much do you know about what happened tonight?"

"Who are you?" Luca pretended not to recognize him.

"We're from the same place." Gerald could not help but feel anxious. Why was she saying this now? If Luke came back, he would not be able to tease the information out of her.

He realized that Luke was keeping a close eye on Luca, making it difficult for him to get any information out of her.

"Same place? I don't know what you're talking about. If you're going crazy, go somewhere else." Luca continued to act cautious. She walked to the other side, refusing to engage with him.

Gerald was infuriated by this woman's attitude. He stomped his foot, came forward to Luca, and said, "I’m working for Abel. He’s your boss too. We both belong to the..."

He did not finish his sentence.

Of course, Luca knew he was from the Island of Despair. Even though Gerald had mentioned it, she could not immediately believe him. She used suspicion to buy some time for herself.

"Hmph, should I believe you just because you say so? Why haven't I seen you before?" asked Luca.

At this industry networking event, she had seen many Caucasian faces working for Abel.
