Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3273

After freshening up, Luca closed her eyes and murmured to herself, “If I sleep early, I'll make it through today, and tomorrow, I can go home.”

Luke could not help but chuckle. Then, he tucked her in. “Yes, get some rest.”

“But I'm worried I won't be able to sleep,” added Luca.

“Are you feeling sleepy now?” asked Luke.

Luca blinked her eyes, realizing she had started feeling drowsy while getting ready.

“Johann prescribed a sleeping pill for you to take tonight, but since you didn’t rest much this afternoon, I gave it to you earlier. Just sleep if you’re feeling tired.” After that, Luke planted a kiss on her forehead.

Luca mumbled a response and soon drifted off to sleep, helped by the medication.

She slept for a long time.

This time, her sleep was more restful than the previous night, with no dreams.

When Luca woke up, it was already the next morning.

Johann had come by early to check on her.

Since her test results showed no issues, Luke asked the nurse to help with the discharge paperwork while he packed up a few things, preparing to take Luca home.

An hour later, Luke drove her back to the villa.

Luca, feeling much better than the day before, could walk on her own, though Luke still supported her as they entered the villa.

Aunt Neile came forward to greet them, taking the bag from Luke’s hand. She then asked Luca, “Ms. Craw, you didn’t have breakfast at the hospital, did you? Would you like something to eat now?”

“Maybe later. I’d like to take a shower first,” replied Luca. At that moment, hunger was not her priority. She wanted to wash away the lingering hospital smell.

“Of course,” replied Aunt Neile. Then, she turned to look at Luke.

“Aunt Neile, you can go about your business. I’ll take care of Luca,” said Luke.

Luca shook her head. “I’m fine now. You should go handle your work too. I can take care of myself.”

“Go take a shower first.” Luke ignored her suggestion. He held her hand upstairs as they made their way up the stairs.

Luca went up and took a long shower. Luke, who was working in the room across the hall, eventually noticed that she had not come out and got worried. He knocked on the bathroom door. “Luca?”

“I’m still here,” replied Luca. “There’s still that smoky smell in my hair, and the smell of disinfectant too, so I’m taking my time.”

Luke felt helpless, understanding she was just trying to feel clean again. “Alright, but don’t stay in there too long. You still haven’t had breakfast.”

“Okay, I know,” responded Luca, speeding up her shower.

Once she was done, they went downstairs together for breakfast.

Aunt Neile brought over their food with a smile. “It’s good to have you back, Ms. Craw. The little ones haven’t had much of an appetite these past couple of days. They didn’t even feel like watching their cartoons!”

Luca knew the kids had been worried about her. She smiled and continued eating.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Luca looked up, and Aunt Neile said, “I'll get the door.”

When Aunt Neile saw who was standing outside the gate, her expression changed. She turned to Luke and said, “Sir, it's Mrs. Norman.”

“Let her in,” replied Luke.

“But…” Aunt Neile hesitated, glancing at Luca. If Queenie came in, would the truth not be revealed?

When Luke noticed that Aunt Neile had not moved, he repeated, “It’s fine, just open the door.”

Aunt Neile nodded and went to let Queenie in.

A moment later, the doorbell rang again. This time, it was Queenie standing at the front door.

Without asking for Luke's permission, Aunt Neile opened the door and announced, “Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, Mrs. Norman is here.”
