Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3268

Luke nodded to the doctor, indicating his agreement.

The doctor returned to his office and prescribed medication for Luca.

Ten minutes later, a nurse walked in with the medicine. After watching Luca take it, she advised, “You should rest now. If you feel uncomfortable, just press the call button.”

“Okay, thank you.” Luca closed her eyes.

Luke gently pulled the blanket over her.

After a moment, Luca opened her eyes and said, “Luke, how about you stay with me while I sleep?”

"I'm worried I might squish you," replied Luke. Even though the bed in the VIP ward was wider than a standard hospital bed, it was still a single bed.

It was not that two people could not fit on it, but he wanted her to rest well.

Luca said, “I’ve been having bad dreams. If you stay beside me, I think I’ll sleep better.”

“Alright.” Luke agreed and got into bed from the other side.

Once he settled in, Luca turned to her side. After getting used to the dizziness, she hugged Luke. He smelled different today. He must have used the hospital’s body wash.

It did not smell as nice as the one they had at home, but she loved his scent no matter what.

With his familiar scent replacing the unpleasant smell of disinfectant, she felt at ease.

“Luke,” Luca mumbled as she started to drift off, the sleep-inducing effects of the fever medicine kicking in.

“Hmm?” Luke gently stroked her back, comforting her like a child and soothing her unease so that she could sleep peacefully.

“I want to go home,” murmured Luca.

“We’ll go home when you feel better.” Luke closed his eyes. His hand never stopped gently stroking her.

At this moment, she reminded him of how Bianca used to be.

Back then, no matter how hurt or sick Luca was, she was always so strong. She never showed any vulnerability like she was doing now.

Perhaps she did not feel secure at that time, believing she could only rely on herself, so she never allowed herself to show any weakness.

However, things were different now. She felt safe enough to show her vulnerable side to him.

He was her support.

“Okay, let’s go home together,” Luca mumbled one last time before falling into a deep sleep.

…

When Luca woke up the next morning, Luke had already gotten out of bed.

She reached out and touched the spot next to her. There was still some warmth left on the sheets. Then, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. She figured that Luke was washing up.

Luca lay back.

She realized that her dizziness was gone.

She tried to sit up, but as soon as she lifted her head slightly, the world spun around her, forcing her to lie back down. She let out a sigh of frustration.

Just then, Luke came out of the bathroom. When he heard her sighing, he rushed over. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Yes and no.” Luca glanced at him, envious of how refreshed he looked after washing up.

She wanted to take a shower too…

“What’s wrong?” Luke leaned in closer, playfully pinching her nose. “Why the long face?”

“I can turn over without feeling dizzy now,” replied Luca.

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Luke's eyes lit up with happiness.

“But I still get dizzy when I sit up. I’ve been lying here so long that my whole body feels numb. I really want to get up and take a shower.” Luca frowned, growing more resentful toward Karen.

If it were not for her, she would not be stuck in this bed!

Luke gently reassured her, “Hang in there. Just one more day. You need to take things slow.”
