Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3267

“Alright.” Luke heard Luca’s request and turned on the TV, but he quickly lowered the volume, finding it too loud.

He knew she just wanted some background noise, not something too distracting.

Luke continued feeding her the oatmeal.

After finishing one bowl, Luca could not eat anymore, so she rested for a bit. Then, Luke gave her the medication Johann had prescribed.

Since she was lying down, she ate everything slowly.

After taking the medicine, Luca yawned. Even though Johann had not prescribed any sleeping pills, the IV and medication had a calming effect.

“If you’re sleepy, go ahead and rest,” suggested Luke.

Luca frowned slightly. “But I want to take a bath.”

"How about I help you freshen up a bit?" offered Luke, knowing she was not in any condition to take a full bath.

“I’d really prefer a proper wash. I was sorting documents this morning, and a lot of people were smoking around me. I feel like the smell has clung to my clothes,” replied Luca as she heaved a sigh. The men on the Island of Despair loved to smoke.

Whenever they were around, she always ended up smelling like smoke.

Especially Abel’s cigarettes.

She hated the smell of them.

“Listen, just bear with it for tonight. You can take a bath tomorrow when you’re feeling better. I’ll get some water and help you wipe down,” said Luke. Johann had advised that Luca should stay in bed as much as possible.

Plus, she was too dizzy to get out of bed.

Luca listened to his footsteps as he walked away, then heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. She reminded herself that it was just for one night.

A little later, Luke came back with a basin of water.

After closing the door and drawing the curtains, he wrung out a towel and carefully wiped her down.

“Feeling better?” Luke asked as he helped her change into clean hospital clothes.

She replied, “A little. But my hair still smells like smoke.”

“Try to bear with it. You can’t wash your hair today,” Luke replied in a gentle tone. He did not mind helping her wash it, and the nurses had special basins for that, but she was too weak to go through the hassle right now.

“Luke…” Luca called softly.

“Yes?”

“I miss the kids,” continued Luca.

She often missed them when she did not see them for a day or two, but today felt different.

Perhaps it was because, in moments of weakness, one would think more about the people who mattered most.

Luke was here, and she could not tell Jack, Queenie, or the Rayne family about the car accident, so her thoughts naturally turned to the children.

“I’ll call them after I pour the water away,” replied Luke, bending down to pick up the basin.

“They probably already know, right?” asked Luca.

“Nina went over, so they definitely know. But I also told them you’re fine and that you’ll be home after a couple of days in the hospital,” Luke reassured her.

“Okay,” replied Luca.

After emptying the basin, Luke sat down beside the bed, picked up his phone, and called Nina.

“Mr. Crawford, how’s Luca doing?” Nina asked as soon as she answered the call without waiting for Luke to speak.

She was furious when she heard that Karen had gone off the deep end and rear-ended Luca's car. She wanted nothing more than to confront Karen.

However, Percy stopped her.

He pointed out that Karen had been taken into custody by the police, and no one could visit her. Karen claimed she had a mental illness and did not intentionally crash the car.

The police were likely arranging for a psychologist to assess her.

Now, only her lawyer could see her.
