Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3386

Luca placed her hand on Hera’s other wrist, checking her pulse. “Her condition is worsening. The inflammation in her body has intensified.

“I prescribed her medication. Those are Mr. Shanks’ formulations, and they're highly effective for reducing inflammation. It shouldn’t be getting worse.”

Gerald pursed his lips before finally speaking up. “Luca, when I was cleaning yesterday, I saw that Ms. Sanchez had thrown all the medication you prescribed into the trash. She didn’t take any of it.”

Luca was speechless.

She had been questioning whether the medicine was ineffective or if she had made an error in diagnosis. It turned out that it was Hera herself who had sabotaged her treatment.

“What should we do now?” asked Gerald.

“There’s no other option. She needs to go to a hospital,” Luca decided firmly. “Her condition is serious, and since she doesn’t trust my treatment, the hospital is her best choice.”

“Can’t you help her just this once?” pleaded Gerald, “I mean, she looks really bad right now. You and Mr. Shanks are way more skilled than any hospital doctors. She’d recover much faster with your help.”

Luca frowned. She was not one to meddle unnecessarily.

Hera’s blatant rejection of her help did not inspire any goodwill.

“Call Mr. Shanks. If he’s willing to treat her, fine. If not, she goes to the hospital.” Luca’s tone left no room for negotiation.

Gerald heaved a sigh and went to fetch Shanks.

Ten minutes later, Shanks came strolling leisurely. “What’s the issue?”

Luca stepped aside to give him space and briefly explained Hera’s condition and her earlier diagnosis.

After checking the pulse, Shanks’s expression did not change. “Your diagnosis is accurate. She won’t die.”

Gerald and the other man in the room froze, caught off guard by Shanks’ bluntness. She would not die?

Was that supposed to be reassuring?

Only Luca understood his meaning. Hera’s life wasn’t in immediate danger, so hospital treatment would suffice.

“Mr. Shanks, you’re not going to treat her?” Luca asked in a soft voice.

“Why should I waste my effort on someone who threw away my medicine?” Shanks’ tone was as cold as ice. He despised those who disregarded others’ goodwill.

The moment he learned Hera had discarded his medicine, she was firmly placed on his blacklist.

Luca straightened her back and turned to Gerald. “Are you taking her to the hospital yourselves, or should we call an ambulance?”

“Can’t you just handle it here?” Gerald dreaded the hassle of a hospital visit.

Luca shook her head. “She doesn’t trust me and has already discarded Mr. Shanks’ medicine. It’s better if she goes to the hospital.”

Left with no choice, Gerald relented. “Alright, I’ll notify the boss first.”

Stepping out of the room, Gerald called Abel.

After Abel answered the call, Gerald summarized the situation concisely.

“No need to send her to the hospital. Shanks can handle it,” Abel responded calmly, his tone almost indifferent.

“Mr. Shanks is unwilling to treat her because of what happened with the medication,” Gerald replied cautiously, starting to doubt whether Abel genuinely cared about Hera.

He seemed far too detached for someone supposedly concerned about her well-being.

Just as Gerald was contemplating this, a sultry woman’s voice echoed faintly from the other end of the call. It dawned on Gerald what his boss was preoccupied with.

No wonder he did not come back all night.

If Hera found out about this, she would probably be furious...

Abel, growing impatient, said bluntly, “Just send her to the hospital. Make sure she doesn’t die, and have someone watch her so she doesn’t run off.”

“Yes, boss.” Gerald clicked his tongue quietly. He had to make sure Hera did not die and could not escape…

Not wanting to leave himself, he passed the task to one of the nearby men.

Half an hour later, an ambulance arrived to take Hera away.

The villa returned to its usual calm.
