Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3303

Gordan decided to stay after thinking about it. He felt like he was making a bold choice.

He headed upstairs to join Luke and Gale for their meeting.

Luca stepped out of the storage room, and by then, Gordan had already gone upstairs. She shook her head helplessly, knowing that things would turn tense once Vivian arrived.

She really could not talk to Vivian about Gordan right now, or else it might lead to a misunderstanding.

Luca carried the herbs and walked into the kitchen.

Aunt Neile was making soup. When she saw the herbs in Luca's hands, she asked, “Ms. Craw, are you brewing herbal medicine for Mr. Norton?”

“Yes.” Luca gave the herbs a quick rinse, placed them in the electric herbal pot, then set the timer. She would not need to worry about it for a while now.

“Poor Mr. Norton, going through painful dry needling treatment and now having to drink such bitter medicine.” Even though Aunt Neile sounded sympathetic, there was a mischievous smile at the corners of her mouth.

Luca was puzzled as she asked, “How do you know?”

“I heard him yelling in pain earlier! If someone like Mr. Norton is making noise from the pain, it must be really bad,” Aunt Neile speculated.

Luca nodded. It probably did hurt a lot.

After all, the acupoints used for physical therapy were different from those for general health maintenance.

When treating the elderly, the treatment did not hurt much, but physical therapy was a whole different story.

Luca had tried it on the Island of Despair before, and it really was painful.

“Physical therapy is for his own good,” Luca said calmly. Then, she asked Aunt Neile, “Aunt Neile, could you help me out? When there's about half an hour left, could you add these herbs too?”

She pointed at the herbs she had not put in yet.

“Of course, Ms. Craw.” Aunt Neile noted down the instructions.

Luca nodded and returned to the living room to check the emails Rhett had sent over the past couple of days.

They were all lab data, and she reviewed them one by one. About 20 minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Luca walked to the intercom. It was Vivian.

She pressed the button to unlock the door.

Five minutes later, Vivian and Rhett walked in.

It was Rhett's first time at Luca’s place, and he was visibly shocked by how luxurious it was.

“Luca, I’m here!” Vivian said cheerfully. She was clearly in a good mood.

Luca stood up with a smile to greet her, “Welcome!”

Rhett handed the documents he was holding to Luca. “Dr. Craw, these are the teaching materials and some company documents.”

“Thank you.” Luca took the papers. “Why don’t you stay for dinner tonight?”

Rhett quickly declined. “Thank you, Dr. Craw, but I have other plans…”

“Alright, I won’t force you,” replied Luca. She was just being polite anyway. After all, Luke was still here.

If Rhett saw them living together, even though he was not the type to gossip, one could never tell what would happen. What if he accidentally mentioned it at the company?

Hence, after Rhett politely declined, Luca did not insist.

“Dr. Craw, I should be…”

Before Rhett could finish his sentence, Gordan's voice echoed from the staircase. “Dr. Craw, can I have a glass of juice?”

Vivian froze for a moment. That voice...

Her brows furrowed together. Why was Gordan here?

Luca noticed the change in Vivian's expression. She was planning to tell Vivian about this after Rhett left.

Who knew Gordan would come down before that?

Could it be a coincidence?

Luca strongly suspected Gordan did this on purpose!
