Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3360

Once Shanks' figure had completely disappeared from view, Luca finally regained a bit of her composure.

She felt an intense cold. It was so cold it felt like she could hardly breathe.

Whenever it came to Nyla's safety, she lost all ability to stay calm.

Luca quickly made her way up to the third floor. Shanks had already gone back to his room. She walked absentmindedly to the last room and pushed the door open.

She entered the room, closed the door, and locked it behind her. Then, she used the device that Luke had given her to scan the room. Once she confirmed there were no listening devices or surveillance cameras, she took out her phone and dialed his number.

The phone rang twice before it was answered.

“Luca, are you okay?” Luke’s concerned voice filled her ear.

Luca trembled. She could feel the cold seeping into her body, and her words were shaking from the chill.

“Luke, there are two things I need to tell you,” said Luca.

Luke frowned when he heard the seriousness in her tone. “What is it?”

“The first thing is, I’ve gone through all of Shanks’ research data. There don’t seem to be any major problems. I think his groundbreaking research is likely to succeed,” explained Luca.

Luke furrowed his brows. He had previously been doubtful about the research and had even asked Johann about it.

Johann expressed concern that such research was unlikely to succeed due to its radical nature.

“What about the second?” Luke tried to speak softly to comfort her.

“The second thing is, Shanks might know about our plan. He just warned me. He said that it would be fine to destroy the Island of Despair, but we can't touch his research. Otherwise, he won't let me off the hook.”

Luca paused for a moment. “Luke, I’m not afraid of him threatening me, and you know that. I’m just worried about Nyla. So, when we make a move, let's try to avoid damaging the lab if we can.”

Luca had her reasons for saying this.

Even though she had learned a lot from Shanks, she could not replicate his rapid progress in drug research.

If he had poisoned Nyla, it might take her some time to find the cure.

Hence, Luca needed to make things clear with Luke.

“He’s a genius in drug research, but he’s also a madman. The fact that he would give me such a warning means it’s his final one. Our previous operation has already upset him. We can’t afford to anger him again. If we protect his research, it might even be beneficial to us.”

“Alright, I got it,” Luke replied after a moment of silence. Then, he continued, “Don’t worry. My men have already checked it out. His lab is structurally different from the other buildings. It won’t be easily destroyed. When we attack, as long as we’re careful not to damage the lab’s locks, the things inside will be safe. His research will be preserved.”

Luca let out a sigh of relief.

“Luke, everything I’m doing now is for the sake of our child. Our child will be safely returned to us, right?” Luca was seeking reassurance from him to calm her heart.

“Yes, she'll definitely come back safely,” assured Luke.

Their child would definitely return to them safely.

Luca took a deep breath, feeling reassured after hearing his response.

“Things on my end will be wrapped up soon. Wait for my good news,” said Luca. After telling Luke everything, her heart calmed down a little.

Only Luke could soothe her anxiety.

Luke responded, “Yes, don’t worry. Not only are we waiting for Nyla to come back, but the elders at home are also waiting for her. With so many people ready to welcome her, she’ll definitely return safely. Everything will be fine. Don’t worry.”
