Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3300

“Alright.” Luke nodded.

After Luca left, Aunt Neile asked, “Mr. Crawford, will Mr. Gale and Mr. Norton be staying for dinner tonight?”

Luke pondered for a moment and replied, “Prepare meals for both of them too.”

“Yes, sir. I'll head to the supermarket, then,” said Aunt Neile. She grabbed a basket from the kitchen and quickly left.

Luke went upstairs.

He had planned to head straight to the bedroom to get some work done, but when he noticed the study door was open, he walked in instead.

Luca was sitting at the lab bench, disinfecting her tools.

When she heard footsteps, she looked up and glanced at him.

It was not the first time Luke had seen her set of tools, but each time, he found them fascinating. He walked closer. “Let me take a look.”

“Are you interested in these dry needling needles?” asked Luca.

“Yes.” Luke nodded.

These dry needling needles were not available on the market. If they were lost, they would have to be custom-made. However, without precise patterns and dimensions, it would be difficult to replicate them effectively.

“This set was custom-made based on ancient texts,” explained Luca. “Since the depths and positions of the dry needling points I work with vary, these needles are much more functional than standard ones. They're made from a special metal, so they’re reusable, unlike typical disposable needles.”

Luke asked with curiosity, “What kind of metal is it?”

“I’m not sure,” replied Luca. "Each needle has a unique weight, but Shanks never mentioned what metal they’re made from. I haven't had them analyzed either. Any testing might damage their weight balance, which could affect the treatment.”

Luke frowned, recalling the older version of the Island of Despair he had encountered before.

Many of their medical technologies were more advanced than those available today. However, this rebuilt organization seemed even more cutting-edge.

Perhaps, it was Shanks who was just that extraordinary.

“What are you thinking about?” questioned Luca as she soaked the needles in alcohol.

“I’m thinking about Shanks,” replied Luke. ”From what you’ve said, he seems pretty remarkable.”

“Yes, he is,” Luca agreed. She remembered when she first encountered this kind of medical treatment, she could not believe any of it was real.

The dry needling technique Shanks taught her was astonishing. It did not match any of the dry needling charts she had studied in medical texts.

Still, Shanks’ teachings were undeniably effective and incredibly useful.

She remembered an incident where one of the Island of Despair’s assassins was ambushed during a mission near the Russian coast. He was quickly brought back to the island. At that time, the assassin's arm was wrapped in bandages, but the bleeding would not stop.

The bandages were soaked in blood, and the moment they were removed, blood gushed out. She could still remember Shanks’ calm demeanor as he swiftly inserted a few needles into the man’s arm. The bleeding stopped at once, as though it was magic.

Luca recalled that the techniques he used were part of what he had taught her.

That experience motivated her to study even harder, knowing that Shanks’ skills were not just exaggerated stories.

She needed that knowledge to save herself and to escape with her children.

Once she finished disinfecting the needles, the doorbell rang.

Luke went to answer the door.

A moment later, Gordan and Gale came upstairs.
