Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3271

After seeing off Old Master Crawford, Luke returned to the ward.

“Luke, maybe you should let Mr. Mallory know about what happened between us and Old Master Mallory,” suggested Luca.

“Don’t worry about it. Just focus on resting and getting better,” replied Luke.

In the afternoon, Jason, Sue, Jim and his wife, along with Percy and Nina, had all come to visit Luca.

For a moment, the hospital ward became incredibly lively.

Luke’s expression was dark with displeasure.

Jim teased, “Luke, what’s with that expression? Are you not happy to see us?”

“Of course not. You’re all disturbing Luca’s rest,” Luke replied sharply, trying to ensure his wife could get some peace. “Leave the gifts and go. We appreciate the gesture, but you all should get back to your own business.”

“Luke.” Luca was surprised that Luke was so blunt in front of so many people.

“We don’t want to disturb Dr. Craw’s rest any longer,” added Scarlett. She was surprised to run into Percy and the others when coming here with Jim.

The noises in the ward were indeed disruptive.

“Alright, we’ll head out for now. Dr. Craw, take care. We’ll visit you again once you’re discharged,” said Jim.

He knew that Luca’s true identity was Bianca, but he needed to keep it confidential, so he had to maintain discretion.

Once the group left, only Percy and Nina stayed.

Nina moved closer, taking Luca’s hand with an apologetic look.

“What’s with the look on your face? This isn’t your fault,” Luca said quickly, understanding Nina’s concern.

“If it weren’t for you guys trying not to affect my wedding with Percy, things wouldn’t be this way…” Nina felt deeply guilty.

“Hey, this has nothing to do with you. Even if we got the cops involved and had her locked up, she could've just hired someone else to come after me. I slipped up, and that's on me,” said Luca as she patted Nina’s head. “How is the wedding preparation going?”

“Everything’s ready. We’re just waiting for the ceremony. So, you need to get better quickly and come to my wedding,” replied Nina.

“I will. It’s just a concussion. A few days of rest will do the trick, and I’ll definitely make it to your wedding.” Luca thought about the timing and noted that there was a week until the wedding, which should be enough for her recovery.

“Great.” Nina smiled and glanced toward the balcony, where Percy had taken Luke outside to talk.

“Luca, I’m really sorry,” apologized Nina.

“Don’t say that. I’ve already said it’s not your fault!” Luca shook her head. She truly did not blame Nina.

She believed that Nina would never hurt her.

Nina had always been kind, and despite the situation, she still took the blame upon herself.

Luca squeezed Nina’s hand. “Nina, don’t worry about it. Focus on preparing for your wedding and being a happy bride, okay?”

“Okay, I promise.” Nina smiled.

Luca smiled back. Then, she asked again at the thought of Nina’s family, “Have you decided not to invite them?”

“Yes. I have a feeling that if I invite them, my wedding will turn into a disaster. So, I told Percy that only those who have a formal invitation can attend, and we’ll be verifying identities. It might upset a lot of people, and some might feel offended, but it’s the only way to make sure the wedding goes smoothly,” explained Nina.

She had discussed this with Percy.

She was worried that Jean and Anna might try to sneak in using someone else's invitations if she did not take these precautions.

“That’s a good idea. By the way, remember to move out three days before the wedding and avoid seeing each other if possible, especially the day before the wedding. You must follow this tradition,” reminded Luca.

“I know. But honestly, I didn’t expect you, a foreigner, to understand these traditions,” replied Nina with a laugh.

“What can I say? I’m originally from A City, and it’s a tradition passed down from our ancestors. Following it a bit isn’t a big deal,” replied Luca.

“Yes, it should be followed. I was thinking of moving back tomorrow,” said Nina. She had mentioned this to Percy, but he refused.

“Alright, go ahead,” replied Luca.

Perhaps it was the medication and injections, but Luca felt her condition was gradually improving.

By the afternoon, she felt much better than she did in the morning.

She watched as Luke took his laptop and headed toward the balcony, feeling a bit sorry.

Fortunately, there were blinds on the balcony. Otherwise, he might not be able to see the computer screen clearly.

However, with the sweltering summer heat, even though there was a breeze on the balcony, it was still not as comfortable as staying in an air-conditioned room.

Luca knew that he was working on the balcony to make sure she could rest properly.

She slowly closed her eyes.

When she opened them again, it was already dark outside.

She could smell the aroma of food.

“Luke,” Luca called out softly.

“Yes? What’s the matter?” Luke came over and touched her forehead. He only felt relieved when he found that her body temperature was normal.

“Did Aunt Neile bring dinner?” asked Luca.

“Yes, she did. Would you like to eat now?” asked Luke.

“Sure, but can you try raising the bed a bit? I want to see if I feel dizzy. I feel much better after waking up.”

“Okay, let me adjust it. If you feel unwell, don’t force it.” Luke picked up the remote and raised the head of the bed.

Bit by bit, he made the adjustments, each movement deliberate and unhurried.
