Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3301

Gordan’s face turned pale.

“Ms. Craw, if I just let it heal on its own, how long would it take?” He had felt this kind of pain before and did not want to go through with the treatment anymore.

Gordan even thought that he would rather have a stiff hand than go through this pain again. After all, he would not just be experiencing the pain once but over and over again.

Luca stood straight and looked at him seriously. “Mr. Norton, are you scared?”

“I'm the kind of guy who's a bit afraid of pain,” admitted Gordan, not embarrassed in the slightest. “Maybe I should just forget about it.”

“If you skip therapy, your hand might never fully recover,” Luca warned him, trying to scare him a little. The truth was, it would heal, but it would take a long time.

Even after it healed, it would not be as nimble as before.

For an average person, Gordan’s current condition might be good enough. However, for someone like him, any slight loss of agility could be fatal. In his line of work, even the smallest margin could be the difference between life and death.

“So, should I go to the hospital for this?” Gordan thought maybe the physical therapy at the hospital would not hurt as much.

“It’ll be the same at the hospital,” replied Luca. She took out a bottle of medicine from the cabinet. “If you're really afraid of the pain, I can give you a sedative.”

“No, no, no!” Gordan did not like the idea of being sedated.

He clenched his teeth and was about to say something when he heard Gale teasing him. “Really, Gordan? A grown man like you, afraid of a little pain?”

Gordan rolled his eyes. “How about I cut you in the same spot, let you heal, and then you can ask Dr. Craw to try it on you?”

Gale muttered, “I'm not stupid.”

“Aren't you supposed to be discussing business? What are you doing here stirring up trouble?” Gordan shot him an annoyed look.

“I came out for coffee, and then I overheard you whining about being scared of pain. It’s hilarious!” Gale did not hold back in making fun of him.

“Gale!” Gordan did not mind losing his dignity in front of a beautiful woman, but he could not stand being embarrassed in front of his friends.

“Dr. Craw, don’t listen to him. Just give him the full treatment, make it hurt, and maybe he’ll learn his lesson,” added Gale. He was grinning as he turned to Luca.

“Gale, if you have nothing nice to say, then just keep your mouth shut!” roared Gordan.

Friends like them were always ready to throw each other under the bus.

Gale shrugged innocently.

“Mr. Norton, let's go downstairs.” Luca picked up the disinfected tools along with the ones she would need later.

Gordan looked dejected, glaring at Gale one last time as he walked by.

Gale saw the look on his face and could not help resist stirring the pot even more. He walked over to Luke’s room and said, “Boss, wanna watch them? We can finish discussing things later.”

Luke frowned. It was just a dry needling treatment. What was there to watch?

“Dr. Craw said it’s going to hurt a lot,” added Gale.

Luke immediately rose to his feet and walked out. “Let's go.”

Gale gave him a thumbs-up. It seemed no one wanted to miss Gordan’s moment of pain.

Luke noticed the gesture and explained, “I’m just worried Gordan might lash out and hurt Luca if it’s too painful.”

“Gordan can't hurt Dr. Craw even if he tries. She’s got some serious skills,” replied Gale, making a mock boxing pose.

He knew Luca had spent three years on the Island of Despair, so her skills were definitely not to be underestimated.

When Luca saw the two of them following along, she smiled and asked, “What are you guys doing out here?”

“We came to watch,” answered Luke.

Gordan looked helpless. “Luke, when did you start acting like Gale? Are you waiting to see me embarrassed?”
