Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3226

Jack nodded.

Earlier, he had considered using some of his connections to make things a bit easier for Leia while she was inside.

He did not have much affection for his adopted daughter, but Queenie still cared for her, so he could not just stand by and do nothing. If anything happened to Leia, it would ultimately trouble Queenie.

This was the first time Queenie had clearly stated that she wanted to give up on Leia. Thus, Jack also lost any desire to help Leia.

He had long given up hope for Leia. Her health had deteriorated so much that she had not improved at all. Going in there would not make her any better either.

Jack had always believed that a person could change with proper guidance.

However, Leia had completely changed his mind. He realized some people were innately evil, and no amount of education would change that inherent malevolence.

“It's late. You should get some rest,” said Jack.

Queenie shook her head and then asked, “Shall we go to Luke's place after you get off work tomorrow?”

“It's not the right time,” Jack reminded her. “Those two kids have more pressing matters to deal with right now. If we go there, it might draw the attention of the person who kidnapped Bea.”

Queenie thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Luca came here to help them with their health.

However, as Bianca's parents, they certainly would not approve of Luke being with Luca.

If the person who kidnapped Bianca found out they had accepted Luca and Luke's relationship, it would risk exposure.

“I was being silly,” Queenie admitted. A cold sweat ran down her back at the thought of the consequences if Luca’s identity was exposed.

“We have to be careful from now on. We can't help them, but we shouldn't hinder them either,” said Queenie. Even though she did not know about those organizations, Jack had dealt with many terrorists during his time in the military.

Those people were ruthless.

“It's late, and there's nothing we can do to help with these matters. Let's trust them and get some rest. Staying healthy is the best way we can support them.”

Queenie agreed with what Jack said. She nodded, turned off the lights, and lay down to sleep.

…

Leia was already asleep in the detention center.

During her time here, she had to follow a strict schedule—something she could not adjust to even while in the hospital. However, she finally managed to do so here.

Suddenly, a splash of cold water drenched her bed.

Leia screamed as she sat up, drenched. She glared at the women standing in front of her.

She was supposed to be transferred tomorrow, yet these women still would not leave her alone!

As Leia recalled what Queenie had said to her during the day, she felt a surge of anger and frustration. She lunged at the women, starting a fight.

“How dare she fight back?! Let's teach her a lesson!” one of the hefty women shouted as they pinned Leia to the ground.

Leia struggled but could not move.

Her head was pressed to the ground as she glanced at Mandy, who was watching from the sidelines. Then, she looked at the woman in front of her and shouted, “Why do you keep bullying me?!”
