Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3231

“Okay.” Luke's eyes held endless affection as he looked at her.

Luca took the cup downstairs. After setting it down, she went back up to check on the kids. When she saw that all of them were in bed, she returned to the master bedroom.

“What are you looking at?” Luca saw Luke sitting on the couch, staring at his phone. She could not help but ask.

Luke's expression was grim.

“Luca.” He looked up at her.

Luca turned around and looked at him, feeling puzzled, “What's wrong?”

“Just got word that Karen’s crew hired extra hands.” Luke's tone was heavy.

Luca frowned in confusion. “Why did she hire more people?”

“Gale investigated and found out that they were hired to capture you,” answered Luke. Gale's intel was always accurate, so if he said it, Karen definitely had such a plan.

Luca frowned. “I made things clear to her this morning. Some people just don't give up until the very end.”

She hated being treated like a prey.

Matysh was like that before, but Luke took care of him.

Now, there came another one, Karen. Luca felt annoyed. Why did these people keep coming?

She turned to look at Luke.

Luke noticed her gaze and said helplessly, “Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you.”

Luca shook her head. She was not worried about herself.

Compared to the incident with Matysh, Karen's motive for capturing her this time was much simpler.

All she wanted was for her to perform dry needling on Pierre. Since they needed her help, they would not harm her.

Luca let out a sigh. “Previously, everyone targeted you. Now, it seems like I'm the one being targeted.”

Luke frowned. He pondered for a moment and realized that Luca was right!

It used to be him who was always the target, whether it was women or various troubles.

Now, the roles had switched.

Luke's lips were pursed thin as he said reluctantly, “I wish I could be the one facing the danger.”

“Don't talk nonsense.” Luca's expression changed. “But there's nothing to be afraid of. She just wants me to treat Pierre, so she won't hurt me. Even if I get captured, I won't be in any real danger. As long as you know who took me, you can find a way to rescue me.”

Luke disagreed, “I won't let you be in that kind of danger.”

“Alright. Anyway, Warren will be driving me, so you don't need to worry too much,” replied Luca.

“Don't let your guard down,” Luke rose to his feet and planted a kiss on her lips.

Luca hugged him. “Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to myself. I want to live with you and the kids.”

“Okay.” Luke hugged her back, but he could not shake the feeling of unease in his heart.

As it turned out, Luke’s premonition was spot on.

It happened two days later.

After Luca finished her lecture at Capital University, she was heading to the restaurant where she had planned to meet Vivian. While she was on her way, two burly men stopped her to ask for directions.

“Excuse me, can you tell us how to get to Dormitory Building A at Capital University?” asked one of the men.

“If you don’t go with me, don’t blame me for not being nice,” threatened the man. “Ms. Craw, don’t miss the point. If you help our boss, you’ll be rewarded.”

“I don’t need your rewards. Look around, there are lots of people and surveillance cameras. If you forcibly take me away, the students will call the police immediately. Do you really want to create a scene?

“Your boss is probably already worried about the police and Mr. Crawford going after her. You’d better think twice before acting," Luca warned in a low voice.

The two men looked at each other, considering her words. Then, one of them said, “If you don't know what’s good for you, don’t blame us for being rough!”

“Try it if you dare!” Luca was not easily intimidated.

The two men clenched their fists, but they noticed there were more students watching them. Even the university’s security guards were approaching.

“Hmph, just you wait!” One of the men immediately left after that.

Luca let out a sigh of relief. She was not afraid of being kidnapped. She was more concerned about the impact it would have.

A security guard approached her and asked, “Are you okay, ma’am?”

Recognizing Luca as the new lecturer, he glanced in the direction the men had gone.

“I’m fine. Thank you,” replied Luca.

“No problem. Are you sure you don’t want to call the police?” The security guard watched the two men leave. They seemed like trouble one would not want to mess with.

“It’s okay. They didn’t really harm me. The police wouldn’t be able to do much without evidence,” explained Luca.

The police needed evidence to act, and she did not have any proof of an attempted kidnapping. Even if she had a recording, it would not be enough for more than a warning.

Since they had not made any substantive moves, the police would, at most, just give them a verbal warning if they heard the recording.

The security guard nodded. “Alright, but be careful. If anything happens on campus, contact our security office immediately.”
