Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3364

The volunteer’s family looked at her in disbelief. An older woman stepped forward to take Luca's hand. “Is it true? Doctor, thank you.”

It was Luca's first time facing such warmth from a patient's family, and she felt a bit uncomfortable. She pulled her hand away and looked at Shanks, but he had already left.

Luca suddenly understood why Shanks did not like to talk much after surgeries.

She had heard that before he came to the Island of Despair, he was already a genius-level doctor, so he had probably seen many situations like this. Not everyone enjoyed being thanked by patients' families. Luca definitely did not.

“The patient will need to stay here for recovery. If you'd like to see him, please send someone in a sterile suit, and they can visit him for five minutes. After that, leave it to us and time,” explained Luca.

The elderly woman who held her hand quickly said, “I’ll go. I need to see my son.”

Another middle-aged person asked, “Doc, is he awake?”

“He’s under partial anesthesia, so he’s awake,” replied Luca, helping the elderly woman into the vehicle and assisting her in changing into a sterile suit. After sanitizing, she let her take a distant look.

Even though the elderly woman wanted to get closer, she understood the medical conditions here were not ideal, and moving too close could risk infection.

After she got out of the vehicle, she wiped away her tears, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.

“He's in good spirits, really good spirits,” said the elderly woman.

Luca nodded, giving Gerald a subtle glance before heading inside.

She finally understood why their base had chosen this house with a small garden. It was because parking was allowed here.

Luca followed Shanks’ lead and walked up to the laboratory on the second floor. Shanks was preparing the fluids for the volunteer’s treatment.

Luca thought about maintaining the sterile environment inside the medical van and realized that every time she entered, she had to disinfect. The thought of it made her feel it was a bit of a hassle.

“Mr. Shanks, will the patient be treated in the medical van the whole time?” asked Luca, feeling her phone vibrate.

She discreetly pressed her hand against her pocket.

“He’ll be moved into the house tomorrow,” replied Shanks as he handed over several bottles of IV fluids. “Find someone, teach them how to change the IV fluids, and have them stay there. You can come back and continue helping.”

“Okay.” Luca took a set of injection tools, placed them in a small basket, and walked out.

She stopped the first person she encountered. “Mr. Shanks wants you to look after the patient.”

“But I don’t know how to take care of a patient,” replied the man, frustrated. Why did they call him for this?

There were so many people in this villa.

Luca said, “I’ll teach you.”

“You should have Gerald do it,” the man declined. Everyone seemed to think that these tasks were something Gerald should handle.

Luca glanced at Gerald, who was not far off, and coldly replied, “Everything should be Gerald’s job? He has his own responsibilities.”

Then, she shoved the basket into the man's hands. “If you have a problem, take it up with Mr. Shanks.”

The man paused for a moment. He dared not to offend Luca, let alone Shanks. Offending Luca might result in a beating, while offending Shanks would lead to physical torment.

The man had no choice but to accept. Holding the basket, he followed Luca onto the medical van.

After going through the routine, the man stepped inside the van, curiously looking around at the surroundings and the patient lying on the operating table. “This is so complicated. Does this mean I can't go out today?”

“I’ll find someone to take your spot if needed. Let me show you how to change the IV fluids,” Luca demonstrated the process to him before reminding him to keep an eye on the patient. Then, she turned and left.

She hid in the restroom and glanced at her phone. It was a message from Luke. Luca updated him on the surgery.
