Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3374

“Alright, I'm really tired. How about we rest for a bit?” After kissing him, Luca snuggled against his waist and playfully whined. “The medication I took has some strong side effects. I've been feeling drowsy for hours. Can we sleep now?”

A flash of concern appeared in Luke's deep eyes. His voice was hoarse as he replied, “Okay.”

After lying down, Luca suddenly remembered Hera. She asked, “Have you met Hera?”

“Hera? That woman?” Luke pulled her closer into his embrace.

“Yeah.” Luca could tell from his tone that he did not remember who Hera was, so she explained, “Hera was a classmate of ours in high school, the popular girl. She was interested in you back then. We even ran into her once when we were abroad.”

Her memory was sharp, and she remembered clearly all the details about people and events that did not seem important.

Luke only caught one detail—she was a former classmate.

“I don’t remember,” replied Luke.

Luca continued, “Back then, Hera had a crush on you, but... I didn’t expect her to be willing to sell herself for money now.”

“Oh.” Luke was not interested in this irrelevant woman.

Luca turned toward him, meeting his gaze. By now, he had taken off his deep blue contact lenses, and his dark pupils were as deep as a chasm.

“Luke, I’m not surprised that Abel has women,” added Luca. “But when he brought Hera to the base, I started feeling uneasy.”

Luke frowned.

“This isn't like him. While this base isn’t like the old ones on the island, you and I have observed it for a while now. There aren’t really any shady weapons here. Even if the cops show up, there won't be much danger.

"But he’s the type of person who wouldn’t bring women from the outside to the base. Don’t you think bringing Hera here must serve some kind of purpose?”

What bothered Luca the most was this.

Luke suddenly began to think, and a thought appeared in his mind. “This Hera... I don’t really remember her.”

Luca nodded. She understood.

Luke had been groomed as an heir since he was young, so he probably did not remember many of his high school classmates. Plus, he did not attend that school for long.

“I do find her familiar, though,” continued Luke. “But the familiarity isn't because she’s a former high school classmate. It’s because…”

He paused for a moment, then added, “I think her eyes look like Kassy’s.”

Kassy was his enemy, so he had a very clear memory of her face. Even after all these years with no contact with Kassy, he still remembered her well.

Luca was shocked. “Isn't Kassy a foreigner?”

“Yes, she is. But their eyes really are quite similar,” replied Luke. ”The only difference is the color of their irises.”

“Right. Hera was already beautiful in high school, but her eyes looked different back then. It seems she had surgery to make them look different. That could be why her eyes look so much like Kassy’s. Maybe that’s why Abel is with her. But something about this doesn’t sit right with me…” The more they discussed it, the more unsettling it became.

Luke suddenly asked, “Where do you plan to find a donor for the volunteer's eyes?”

“Mr. Shanks’ plan is to transplant from someone who just died. Of course, the channels aren't legal, but with enough money, you can buy anything,” answered Luca. Then, she suddenly thought of something.

“You're not suspecting…”

Luke lightly brushed his hand over her back. “I hope not. But whether it’s true or not, there’s nothing you can do about it. Do you think if you told Hera to run because it's dangerous, she’d actually listen and leave?”

Hera jumped in surprise.

The lights were turned on, and a man, recognizing her as the boss’ woman, let out a sigh of relief. “Ms. Sanchez, why are you wandering around this late at this hour?”

Hera patted her chest, surprised to find someone patrolling at this hour.

“You have patrols at night?” asked Hera.

“Yes.” The man nodded. His gaze was on her.

She was wearing a rather revealing nightgown. Her graceful figure was fully exposed, and the man's gaze became even more heated.

Hera did not expect there to be anyone patrolling at this late hour, so she had not put on a jacket before coming out. She did not feel shy about the man's stare. Instead, she stood confidently and let him look.

She loved being admired by men like this. It made her feel accomplished.

With Abel around, these men could only look at her, but they could not do anything. Being stared at did not harm her at all.

“It's just a small villa. Why are you patrolling so late? Is there something valuable here?” Hera asked teasingly. “You almost scared me to death.”

The man felt his mouth go dry. With her standing there so openly, allowing him to look his fill, there was no way he could control himself. A woman this beautiful, with such a sexy figure...

Their boss was really lucky!

“Ms. Sanchez, you should avoid wandering around at night. We patrol every night, so it might startle you,” replied the man, not answering her question about what was in the villa. Instead, he reminded her not to roam about carelessly.

“Alright,” Hera replied impatiently, feeling a heat in her body from the man's gaze. She then asked, “Do you know where Lucius' room is?”
