Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3259

Abel was no longer sitting on the couch. Instead, he was off to the side, wearing boxing gloves and punching a heavy bag.

Luca knew she could not just leave, so she stood there and waited until he was done. After a while, he took off the gloves and asked, “How’s the experiment going?”

“No idea,” replied Luca.

Abel looked at her with obvious displeasure. “You were in there all afternoon!”

Luca shook her head. “I don’t know what Mr. Shanks’ experiment is about, so how could I know how it’s going? I was just there to assist.”

Abel was at a loss for words for a moment, but he knew she was right.

He let out a cold snort and dismissed her. “Hmph, whatever. Get out.”

As Luca observed how much Abel cared about the experiment, it only confirmed her suspicions.

This experiment Shanks was working on was for Abel’s benefit.

However, what exactly was this experiment?

Luca was puzzled, but she dared not to dig deeper while she was in the lab. She feared that if she seemed too curious, Shanks would get suspicious.

Her priority now was to keep Abel stable, not to arouse his suspicions. She had to wait for Luke to find the right moment to take down the organization.

After Abel dismissed her, she quickly left the room.

Downstairs, the same man was still guarding the door.

When he saw Luca coming down, he asked, “Done with the experiment?”

Luca frowned. “You knew I was there for the experiment?”

“What else? You’re the only one in the entire A City base who can help Mr. Shanks with his experiments. If you weren’t here for that, what else could it be?” the man replied. As the gatekeeper for the A City base, he was aware of what Shanks and Abel were up to.

Shanks was working on a critical experiment, but no one at the base, not even Abel himself, had any expertise in pharmaceuticals.

That was why Luca was brought in.

Without waiting for Luca to respond, the man added, “People with skills like yours get big rewards. I bet the boss will give you something nice for helping out.”

Luca thought to herself that she would be lucky enough if Abel did not screw her over.

She remained silent and headed for the door.

The man saw this and asked, “Did you drive here?”

“No,” replied Luca, frowning. It was rare to find someone as talkative as this man on the Island of Despair.

“It’s pretty late, and this area is tough for getting a cab. Want me to give you a ride?” he offered.

“No need.” Luca was wary of any sudden kindness, suspecting ulterior motives.

The man looked a bit disappointed. As she opened the door, he said, “My name’s Kyle.”

Luca paused for a moment and gave Kyle a strange look.

In the end, she did not say anything. She pulled the door open, walked out, shut the door behind her, and left without a word.

Kyle felt a little regretful. He thought she might respond, but to his surprise, she just left. While he was still feeling a bit wistful, Abel’s voice came from behind him. “You like her?”

Kyle jumped and turned around, only to find that Abel had somehow snuck up behind him.

“Boss!” He snapped to attention, though his face turned a bit red.

Abel’s expression was odd. “Do you like her?” he asked again.

Kyle shook his head. “No, I don’t.”

“Don’t lie to me!” Abel’s expression suddenly turned serious.
