Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3368

“Huh?” Luca's voice was thick with sleepiness.

“You can't see me in the dark,” hinted Luke.

Luca slapped his restless hand away. “I'm tired.”

Luke let out a sigh.

Luca knew what he was sighing about, but with the intense experiments earlier that day and having waited so long just now, she just said, “Stop thinking about it. Go to sleep. I'm really tired.”

Besides, this was the base of the Island of Despair.

She was truly scared...

“Good night.” Luke had no choice but to endure it. He held her in his arms and closed his eyes.

When Luca woke up the following day, Luke had already left.

She was used to it by now.

Luke had a regular workout routine. Since he did not have to handle work here, he would get up early to train. He even sparred with others at the base. These people had all been trained on the Island of Despair, but none of them could beat Luke.

Every one of them had gotten a few injuries from him.

On the other hand, Luke came out unscathed each time.

Only then did Luca realize just how skilled Luke was.

After getting up and washing up, Luca walked out of her room. She was heading downstairs to make breakfast when Gerald came over. “Ms. Craw.”

Luca’s gaze was cold. “What is it?”

“I just got a call from the boss. He knows the experiment is successful, so he's coming by this afternoon,” replied Gerald.

Luca stopped in her tracks. “Abel is coming?”

“Yes!” Gerald was inexplicably impressed. She dared to speak Abel's name so casually!

What incredible guts.

Luca frowned deeply, uneasy. She could not help but mutter to herself, “How could he come so soon?”

“What?” Gerald did not catch what she said.

“We still haven't figured out the maximum dose. If he comes to check, he'll only be dissatisfied and take it out on us,” Luca continued walking downstairs, still frowning.

“But this is a huge breakthrough. We’ve made someone, who’s been paralyzed below the knee for so many years, feel nerve sensations again. I think Mr. Shanks’ research is amazing. Do you think I could be his apprentice?” asked Gerald.

Gerald had witnessed the volunteer getting better bit by bit for the past few days. Gerald remembered how he was almost dying and how Shanks saved him without any medical equipment. That made him admire Shanks deeply, and he could not help but feel motivated.

As for his fighting skills, he was no match for the others on the Island of Despair.

Even if he trained now, he did not have the same foundation as others. If he wanted to be as good as them, it would definitely take a long time.

However, what if he learned medicine from Shanks?

Gerald was confident in himself. After all, if one was serious, there was nothing one could not learn.

Gerald had heard from others at the base that the medical field on the Island of Despair relied entirely on Shanks.

He figured that the Island of Despair had to be in great need of doctors, and this thought became even stronger in his mind. If he could also become one of Shanks’ right-hand people like Luca, then the organization would not just abandon him.

Luca understood what Gerald was thinking. She did not want to discourage him, but sometimes, the reality was harsh. She decided to tell him the truth.

“Don’t even think about it.”

“Huh?” Gerald blinked in surprise. “Why not?”

“Mr. Shanks doesn’t like dull-witted people. If he teaches you something once and you can’t learn it, you won’t get another chance to stay by his side as an assistant. Also, he doesn’t take apprentices. If you’re smart enough, you might be able to stay by him, learn, and assist.
