Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3229

“Yeah, we still need to be cautious. With Percy's wedding approaching and Pierre's recovery not going well, her emotions might go haywire. Who knows what she might do?”

Luke, despite not meddling in women's affairs, still had some understanding of Percy's mother.

Most of what he knew came from Percy himself, with some additional insights from past interactions. He knew Karen was not simple.

Therefore, when he heard Karen was going to see Luca, he grew concerned.

Despite Luca's skills and professional training on the Island of Despair, she could still be in danger if Karen caused trouble.

“Yes, I know,” replied Luca, knowing Luke was worried about her from his long-windedness.

She could not help but wonder how surprised T Corporation's employees would be if they knew about Luke's current state.

“I have dinner tonight. Will you come with me?” asked Luke.

“Dinner? I'd rather not go if there are strangers,” replied Luca. As the elevator reached the floor, she stepped out.

“They're all people you know. Percy, Gordon, and the others,” said Luke. Tonight's dinner required male guests to bring a female companion.

That was why he wanted to bring Luca along.

“Okay, I'll let Aunt Neile know. She'll have to work overtime, then.” Luca thought of the three kids who needed someone to look after them at home.

“I've already spoken to Aunt Neile.” Luke got her agreement and had nothing more to say. He glanced at the time. Jason was still waiting downstairs for their meeting, so he ended the call with Luca.

After Luca returned to her office, she hung up the call with a smile, changed into her lab coat, and headed for the lab.

…

After Luca left, Karen was left in a daze. She sat in the car, thinking about what Luca had said to her earlier.

She knew those words could not reach Pierre's ears.

However, Luca said there was no other way. Even if she used force to bring Luca over, she would say the exact same thing to Pierre.

Pierre would eventually find out. Thinking this through, Karen felt she could not keep it hidden and called Pierre.

Pierre quickly answered the phone. He knew Karen had gone to look for Luca today. His first question was, “What did Luca say?”

Karen let out a sigh.

Pierre heard her. Frowning, he asked, “She still won't help with the dry needling?”

“Pierre, don't get upset.” Karen knew Pierre saw Luca's dry needling treatment as a lifeline. “I just told her about your condition. She said even if she performed dry needling on you, it wouldn't have much effect. Basically, it can stimulate your nerve cells but will have no impact on bone recovery. How you walk depends on your bones, not nerves…”

Pierre paused for a moment, struggling to understand Karen's fragmented explanation. After a few seconds, he grasped the meaning behind her words. His brows furrowed together as he asked directly, “Are you saying I can never stand up normally again?”

“No, she just meant dry needling won't help much, so she can't help.” Karen quickly said something else to give him hope, “But with proper rehabilitation, you'll definitely walk normally again.”

“I don't believe it…” Pierre felt certain beliefs in his heart collapsing instantly.

He always thought that as long as Luca agreed to come and perform dry needling on him, he would surely recover completely and walk like a normal person again.

He did not expect it to turn out like this...

“Pierre, you have to stay hopeful. Once you're feeling better, I'll take you abroad for rehabilitation treatment. You'll definitely recover…”

Before Karen could finish her sentence, Pierre hung up the phone.
