Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3233

After hanging up the phone, Luca let out a helpless sigh. “What's with the smile?”

“Your call was so loud that I heard everything,” replied Vivian, pointing at her phone.

“You’re even making fun of me now? Your English is getting better and better,” said Luca, sticking out her tongue at her.

Vivian nodded. “Of course. I’m the fastest learner in my language class. The lecturer even said that if I kept it up, I could skip the language class and go straight into my major next semester.

“Are you planning to go straight into your major?” asked Luca.

Vivian nodded. “The new school year starts in September in A City. I’m working hard to keep up with the new semester so that I won’t fall behind."

“Don’t worry, you already know quite a bit.” Luca was impressed by Vivian’s progress.

“That's for everyday language. I still struggle with professional terms. Besides, I'm better at speaking than writing. And I can’t answer the exams in Russian, right?” Vivian shared her recent experiences.

She enjoyed telling her friends about what had been going on.

Luca listened attentively, enjoying the dishes that the waiter served them.

Before they finished their meal, Luca received a call from Aunt Neile.

“Yes, Aunt Neile?” Luca gave Vivian an apologetic smile and answered the call.

“Ms. Craw, I’m supposed to deliver soup to Mr. Norton, but he’s not in his ward, and the nurse doesn’t know where he is. Can you help me contact him? I don’t have his phone number,” said Aunt Neile.

Aunt Neile had been delivering soup and meals to Gordan. She knew where his hospital ward was, but she had never asked for his number.

Now that she could not find him, she had no choice but to call Luca.

Luca instinctively shot a glance at Vivian.

Her phone volume was quite high, so Vivian must have heard Gordan’s name.

“Okay, I’ll help you contact him,” replied Luca, covering the mouthpiece. After she hung up the call, she called Gordan.

When the call was answered, she nodded to Vivian and stepped toward the entrance of the restaurant to speak.

“Ms. Craw, what’s the matter?” Gordan’s nonchalant voice came through the phone.

His condition had improved a lot the day after the surgery.

He was thinking about getting discharged, but since Luke would not allow it, he had to stay in the hospital.

“How’s your arm?” Luca asked with concern.

“It’s fine, all healed up,” replied Gordan.

Luca rolled her eyes. He was such a show-off. Gordan was not exactly the type to heal so quickly.

The surface of the wound might have healed, but not the deeper issues.

“Stop bluffing. Where are you? Aunt Neile went to your ward but couldn’t find you, and the nurse doesn’t know where you are,” questioned Luca.

Gordan chuckled. “I’m healing really fast, thanks to your soups.”

Luca listened to Gordan’s playful banter but quickly realized what was going on.

“Did you sneak up to the hospital rooftop to smoke again?”

Gordan had a serious smoking habit and had been caught several times smoking in the hospital. Later, he started sneaking up to the rooftop.

The doctors had warned him not to smoke until his injuries were fully healed.

However, Gordan ignored their advice, so the doctors reported it to Luke.

They made it clear that if Gordan's wounds got worse or if there were complications, it was not their responsibility because he was not following their instructions.

Luke had mentioned this to Luca before.

“You’re really sharp, Dr. Craw.” Gordan chuckled. “You’re as smart as Luke.”
