Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3272

After Luke adjusted the bed to a 45-degree angle, he finally stopped.

“This should be good,” said Luke, carefully watching Luca's condition. “Are you feeling unwell at all?”

“No, this is fine,” replied Luca. Her back was pressed firmly against the mattress, and she felt a bit uncomfortable.

“Luke, could you help me prop up the pillow?” asked Luca.

“Sure.” Luke adjusted the pillow for her.

Luca leaned back fully against the pillow and smiled. “This is much better.”

“Let’s eat first.” Luke opened the meal that Aunt Neile had brought. As he was about to feed her, the caretaker spoke up, “Mr. Crawford, I can do that.”

The caretaker felt a bit awkward. She had been hired to take care of Luca, but she had not needed to feed her or even buy meals for her. With Luca mostly lying down and not needing much, the job seemed almost too easy, and she felt a bit guilty about it.

“No need, I’ll do it,” replied Luke. He was not planning to let anyone else take care of Luca.

Luca added, “Miss, you should go downstairs and have your meal.”

“Alright. If you need anything, just call me,” reminded the caretaker before leaving.

After she left, Luca said, “I think hiring a caretaker was a mistake.”

“Why do you say that?” asked Luke as he picked up a piece of vegetable for her. Johann mentioned that Luca could start eating solid food, so he had Aunt Neile prepare some food although the meal was still pretty bland.

“The caretaker seems uncomfortable since you’re doing everything yourself,” replied Luca with a smile.

“There are some things I need to handle personally to feel assured,” said Luke. He spooned a small amount of food and gently fed it to her.

The scene was filled with warmth and happiness.

A nurse entered to deliver medication and could not help but feel a pang of envy at the sight. After she put down the medicine, she glanced back at them before leaving, thinking how content she would be if her boyfriend treated her this way if she were ever hospitalized.

After the meal, Luca rested for a bit and then took her medication.

Once she finished, Luke helped her lie back down to continue resting.

Just as Luca settled in, her phone rang on the bedside table.

She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Queenie.

“It’s Mrs. Norman.” Luca turned to look at Luke.

“I didn’t tell her about your accident.” Luke shook his head, indicating he had not said anything. However, he added, “You should answer it. This isn't something we can keep from her.”

Luca agreed.

Since Old Master Crawford knew, it was not surprising that Jack and Queenie knew as well.

Luca answered the call.

“Hello, Mrs. Norman.” Luca greeted her first.

Queenie's voice came through the phone. “Luca, I heard you were in a car accident and ended up in the hospital. Is that true?”

“Yes, that's right. Someone rear-ended me,” answered Luca.

“A rear-end collision, and it was serious enough to hospitalize you?” Queenie frowned. Typically, a rear-end collision would just damage the car unless the other driver was speeding.

“The car that hit me was going pretty fast, so I ended up crashing into the car in front of me,” explained Luca. If there had not been a car in front of her at the time, maybe she would have been fine.

It was also possible something worse could have happened.

Given Karen’s reckless determination to harm her, if there had not been a car in front, Karen might have floored the gas pedal and crashed Luca into something else. She might even flip Luca's car to cause more damage.

“That’s outrageous! That person must have done it on purpose!” Queenie knew the situation well and was certain Karen had deliberately targeted Luca.

Luca glanced at Luke, who was also watching her.
