Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3390

Luca's expression was serious, and Hera realized she was not just trying to scare her.

Ignoring her warnings had already caused her to suffer once.

Unwillingly, Hera sipped on the cereal. Her resentment was evident in every movement.

Luca noticed it was not difficult for her to handle. She quietly sat down and ate her own bowl of cereal.

Hera did not have much of an appetite.

Hera took a couple of bites before growing bored. She glanced at Luca and asked, “How did you end up working for Abel?”

Luca did not respond. She calmly blew on her cereal and ate in silence, showing no intention of engaging in conversation.

“I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?” snapped Hera.

Luca lifted her gaze briefly and replied, “You should finish your cereal before it gets cold.”

“I’m not even hungry.” Hera really had no appetite and was not planning to eat the cereal.

“It’s still better if you eat something. Otherwise, when hunger strikes later, don’t expect me to help you,” said Luca, “I’m only here to make sure you don’t try to run away. Anything else isn’t my responsibility.”

Hera’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Aren’t you supposed to be here to take care of me?”

“That’s just what we’re telling others. If you’re so curious about the boss, why don’t you ask him directly? If he really values you as much as you think, maybe he’ll treat you like a proper ‘boss’s wife’ and share everything with you.” Finishing her cereal, Luca deliberately turned her focus away, clearly not intending to continue the conversation.

“If I ever become your boss’s wife, the first thing I’ll do is fire you!”

Despite the venom in her tone, deep down, Hera knew Abel did not truly care about her.

Now that she was in the hospital, he sent someone over. Whatever his reasons might be, it made it seem like he cared about her.

However, in reality...

Hera knew deep down that if Abel truly cared for her, he would be right here in the hospital room, staying by her side and taking care of her attentively.

Yet, he never came.

She was not foolish enough to actually hope for a marriage with Abel.

Hera knew better than anyone that money was the only thing she would truly gain from this relationship.

As for the things Luca said about watching her, Hera just thought she was jealous and did not take it to heart.

Hera forced herself to drink a few more sips of cereal.

After that, Luca, bored after finishing her meal, turned her attention to the experimental data Rhett had sent her.

She carefully dissected the critical figures and documented them meticulously, engrossed in her work for hours.

It was not until nightfall that Abel finally appeared at the hospital room door.

Luca saw him and froze for a moment before realizing his intentions.

Abel always valued Hera, but the way he valued her was different from how they understood it.

He needed her body, specifically her eyes, to remain in good health to ensure the success of the transplant he had planned.

“Mr. Abel.” Luca rose to her feet.

Abel narrowed his eyes slightly. He recalled Shanks’ earlier request for her, and a trace of amusement flickered across his eyes.

It was evident that Luca meant a lot to Shanks.

However, Shanks himself did not seem to realize it yet.

Abel could not help but anticipate the moment when Shanks would finally understand.

When that time came, who would Luca choose?

Would she go for a wealthy and powerful man or one with exceptional medical skills?

Abel was curious, but deep down, he already knew. Luca would not have a choice.

After all, Luke’s fate was sealed, and most likely, so was hers.

Unless Shanks intervened to protect her, Abel would ensure that anyone connected to Luke would not remain alive in this world.

“Yes.” Abel gave a curt nod before speaking indifferently, “I have something to discuss with Ms. Sanchez. Leave us.”
