Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3237

Luca noticed a change in Pierre's expression.

She reckoned that they had already found something out, so she said, “It looks like you found something. I think you'd better let us go.”

“No!” Karen's tone was assertive. “No matter what, you have to perform dry needling on Pierre today.”

Luca frowned in silence.

Pierre set his phone aside. A mocking gleam flashed across his eyes. “Yeah, you’ll be performing dry needling on me today, no matter what.”

He did not plan on having Luca perform dry needling on him for the long term. The room was filled with surveillance cameras.

As long as he got one more session from her, another naturopathic physician could learn from the footage afterward.

This was the plan Pierre and Karen came up with.

They could not afford to offend Luke’s people, but if they had to, they would do it once and then send Luca back unharmed.

“Anyway, if you don't help me with the dry needling, I'll be useless. The Mallory family doesn't need useless trash. But this woman got dragged into it because of you. It wouldn't look good for Luke, right?” Pierre threatened menacingly, betting that Luca only knew this woman because of Luke.

If anything happened to her, not only would the Mallory family be in trouble, but so would Luke.

Luca had deep feelings for Luke and definitely would not want to see him in trouble.

“How despicable!” Luca realized that her plan to protect Vivian had been seen through.

However, it was a flawed plan to begin with.

After all, it was hastily put together. If Pierre decided to go all out, she had no way to stop him.

Vivian felt guilty, knowing she was Luca’s weakness.

“Luca, people like him aren't worth your help. Just let him become a cripple!”

The word 'cripple' triggered Karen. She pulled a knife from a drawer and held it fiercely to Vivian's neck.

“If my son becomes a cripple, you won't live either! You’re the lady of an underground organization, right? I don't care who you are. Either Luca performs dry needling today, or you'll both die here!”

Luca's heart sank as she looked at the sharp blade against Vivian's throat. She regretted getting Vivian involved in this mess.

She should not have gotten too involved with Vivian so frequently during this kind of situation.

It was her fault.

If something happened to Vivian, Ray would not only go after the Mallory family but also trouble Luke.

As the knife got closer, Vivian remained calm, giving Karen an intense stare. “If you have the guts, just kill me. If I die, your whole family will be doomed.”

Karen's hand trembled.

However, she knew that if Pierre did not get better, her future would be hopeless.

If they were doomed, then so be it!

Luca saw the madness in Karen’s eyes and realized that she had nothing to lose.

If she did not give Pierre and Karen some hope now, Vivian would be in serious danger.

Luca was still of use to them. They would only claim to hurt Vivian to threaten her.

“Wait!” Luca relented.

The knife's tip was aimed at Vivian's carotid artery, but Luca felt like it was aimed at her own heart.

She knew that Ray was not someone to be messed with.

He treated Luke well because there was no grudge between them, but if something were to happen to Vivian on her watch, that would change.

Not only Luke, but the kids would also be in danger.

If Vivian got hurt, Ray would go crazy, and the people she cared about would be at risk.

Karen paused for a moment. There was a hint of smugness in her eyes, but she did not put the knife away. “You should've agreed sooner. I didn't want to scare your friend.”
