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?”
