Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3230

“I'll think about it.” Pierre immediately hung up the phone. It was just as Abel expected.

Abel listened to the busy tone on the phone, leisurely lighting a cigar.

It seemed like Luca had been busy lately.

Now that Luke cared so much for Luca, if Pierre intended to deal with her, Luke would certainly be involved too.

Abel's sour mood suddenly turned pleasant, causing Shanks, who was across from him, to furrow his brows.

“What are you up to again?” He was picking through the herbs.

He collected all these herbs in the mountains of X City and brought them to A City afterward.

“What's the matter? Are you nervous?” asked Abel.

Shanks ignored him and continued sorting through the herbs.

“If you ask me one more question, I'll tell you what happened on the phone just now,” Abel teased mischievously.

Shanks gave him a sidelong glance. “Say it if you want to.”

“Tsk. Shanks, sometimes you really deserve a smack,” Abel retorted impatiently.

He crouched beside Shanks, watching him sorting the herbs. It was all medicine to save Kassy.

Abel said, “Considering all these herbs, I'll spill it to you. Ivana could treat Pierre's leg with the dry needling techniques you taught her, but because of personal grudges, she lied and said she couldn't do it. Isn't she cunning?”

“You're the truly cunning one compared to what she did,” Shanks commented nonchalantly.

Luca had already resolved that trouble, but Abel used a trick to bring that trouble back to her.

Abel chuckled. “Despite the things you say, I know you care about her. If you really like her, I could ensure her safety and deliver her to you in the end.”

Shanks frowned. “No need. I've told you many times, I don't care about Luca.”

“Then why are you so concerned about her?” asked Abel.

Shanks was rendered speechless and only reminded him, “You just think I care about her."

Abel raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?”

“Even if you killed her, I wouldn't say anything. At most, I'd feel it's a loss as she's talented in the medical field," continued Shanks.

“That's indeed a pity. Among all the people on the Island of Despair, you only acknowledge one person as talented. If not for Ivana's talent, you'd be quite biased,” remarked Abel.

Shanks furrowed his brows. What was he biased about?

In fact, he only thought Luca was talented.

He had higher standards for his students.

In the beginning, he believed a mother with a child could not compare to other men on the Island of Despair in various aspects. Unexpectedly, when Luca got serious, she turned out to be more outstanding than other men on the island.

Shanks could not be bothered to explain further.

Abel stopped talking about Luca too. He was genuinely afraid of pissing Shanks off.

After all, Kassy's situation mattered the most to him now.

…

Luca had no idea that Abel had caused her a big problem.

While she was still busy in the laboratory, Pierre had already begun discussing with Karen.

“Is what that person said true?” Karen frowned after hearing Pierre's words, feeling inexplicably angry.

Luca actually dared to fool her like this! She had even convinced her!
