Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3212

Sarah thought, 'Evil people will get their due. Matysh’s crimes in A City aren’t enough for a life sentence, but his crimes in Russia are.'

She would wait for the day Matysh got what he deserved…

…

Night fell.

After ensuring the children were asleep, Luca went downstairs to the storage room to search for medicinal herbs.

She intended to prepare a remedy for Gordan to accelerate the healing of his muscle and nerve injuries.

However, the storage room was cluttered, and many herbs required light-sensitive storage, making her search long and tedious.

Aunt Neile had organized everything well. If it were Aunt Neile who came to look for the herbs, she would be able to find the herbs quickly. Luca rarely managed the storage room and did not know where the herbs were kept. She had to open each box to check its contents.

As Luca was searching, Luke came downstairs after his shower.

When he saw rummaging in the storage room, he asked curiously, “What are you looking for?”

Luca turned around and replied, “I’m looking for some herbs to prepare the medicine tonight so that Aunt Neile can bring it to Mr. Norton tomorrow.”

Luke could already picture Gordan’s reaction.

To him, drinking herbal medicine was torture.

“Gordan doesn’t like drinking herbal medicine,” Luke reminded her. If Luca mixed the herbs into soup or dishes, Gordan might consume it.

Luke had tried such dishes himself. The herbal taste was subtle and even enhanced the food’s flavor.

Luca paused for a moment and then continued searching. “He may not like it, but he has to take it. I’ll tell Aunt Neile to explain that if he wants to recover quickly and get out of the hospital sooner, he needs to take the medicine.”

Nobody liked staying in the hospital, so given a choice between taking medicine and a longer hospital stay, Luca believed Gordan would make the right decision.

Luke chuckled.

Luca heard his laughter. She turned around and asked, “What’s so funny?”

“Nothing. I see that you’ve got Gordan figured out,” replied Luke, shaking his head. He could already foresee Gordan’s choice between a longer hospital stay or taking herbal medicine.

“No one likes staying in the hospital. You can see he has no freedom there,” added Luca, especially since Gordan liked smoking and drinking.

He could not smoke or drink until he recovered, right?

“What do the herbs look like? I’ll help you find them,” Luke offered.

Luca could not describe them well, so she pointed to a shelf and said, “Help me check each box. If you find any herbs, show them to me.”

“Sure.” Luke helped her search and then suggested, “Maybe we should get you an herb cabinet. It would make finding the herbs easier.”

Luca thought it was a good idea but noted that they did not use many herbs at home. “We don’t need an herb cabinet. We don’t use many herbs. I just need to remind Aunt Neile to store all the herbs in one place.”

Luke opened a box containing herbs and asked, “Is this what you’re looking for?”

Luca glanced at it and took it, “Yes! I finally found it.”

Luke gathered the other herbs she had found, and they left the storage room together.

Realizing he had come downstairs to look for her, Luca said, “I’ll put the herbs in the electric decoction pot first, then I can go upstairs to sleep.”

Luke might think it was nothing, but it had a real impact. He made sure those foreign mercenaries knew the local police were not to be messed with. Advanced weapons or not, the police were not afraid of them.

This would make it much harder for Ethan to find mercenaries for his schemes.

Ethan would either have to rely on people from the Abaza family or give up.

However, even the Abaza family would not take that risk. If it got out that they were involved in Matysh's escape, the scandal would be huge and difficult to handle.

Luke’s plan effectively cornered Matysh.

Luca chuckled softly, realizing that opposing Luke ultimately met with dire consequences.

Matysh was an example, and so was Abel.

She could not help but squeeze Luke’s hand tightly.

Luke glanced at her. He gently rested her head on his shoulder and smiled sweetly.

“I need to visit Ms. Poplar tomorrow at noon,” said Luke.

Luca was surprised. “Why do you need to go over? Did something happen to Ms. Poplar?”

“No, she has something to give to Marcos, so I need to go. She insists I have to personally hand it to Marcos," explained Luke,

“What is it? Why so mysterious?” Luca was even more surprised. She could understand asking Luke to pass something along, but insisting on him personally delivering it meant it had to be something significant.

“I haven’t seen what Ms. Poplar wants to give Marcos yet, but I can guess. Ms. Poplar has been in hiding for years, afraid of being discovered by the Abaza family. It's likely because of whatever this is.

"It must be something very dangerous for certain people in the Abaza family.”
