Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3399

For Shanks, no matter how skilled the two ophthalmologists were, they could not compare to Luca. The key was their smooth coordination. They were used to working together.

If it were other doctors, they would probably start asking questions once they entered the operating room, making it impossible for Shanks to focus and perform the surgery calmly.

Shanks believed this was a groundbreaking procedure, not just another teaching surgery for ophthalmologists.

Abel understood Shanks’ concerns, but he still insisted, “They’re not just any doctors. They’ve signed agreements, and they won’t interrupt you with questions during the surgery. They’ll cooperate fully.”

As Luca listened to Abel, she realized what he was really worried about. Besides the risk of the surgery failing, he was not confident in her.

This surgery was important, and Abel was worried she might sabotage it in the operating room.

Shanks furrowed his brows and looked at Luca.

Luca gave him a faint smile. Whether or not she participated in the surgery did not matter much to her. She just felt a little regretful for not being able to witness such a miracle, but other than that, it was not a big issue.

“Mr. Shanks, I hope everything goes smoothly with the surgery.” Luca stepped back to make her stance clear.

If Abel did not allow it, she would not board the medical vehicle.

Shanks’ eyes grew colder as he turned his gaze to Abel.

Abel, feeling no regret for his decision, gestured toward the medical vehicle. “Go ahead. That person’s waiting for you to perform the surgery.”

Shanks lowered his voice in a warning. “If anything goes wrong with the surgery, you’ll be the one to bear the consequences.”

Abel felt a twinge of doubt.

It would have been best if Luca performed the surgery. However, he was afraid of Luca potentially causing trouble during the procedure.

Abel had to ensure the surgery’s success.

“I trust you can handle it.” Abel expressed his confidence in him.

Abel did not trust anyone—only Shanks. He was the best. If Shanks could not make this surgery work, no one else could.

With that thought in mind, Abel watched Luca as she pursed her lips, her gaze following Shanks as he entered the medical vehicle.

His expression darkened.

Once the two doctors followed Shanks inside and the vehicle doors closed, Luca was about to turn away to get to work when she saw Hera running toward them.

“Darling, you’re finally back!” said Hera, her eyes filled with affection.

Luca furrowed her brows. Hera’s performance seemed a bit too exaggerated.

She had seen how obsessive Hera could be just to get Luke’s contact information, so she knew exactly how she acted when she had feelings for someone.

Luca could clearly see that Hera was just performing for Abel, trying to win him over with her act of love.

Luca did not speak, nor did she have any intention of leaving to get busy anymore. She was more interested in seeing how Hera would try to please Abel.

Abel, perhaps in a good mood that day, raised Hera’s chin. In front of everyone, he playfully teased her, “Have you been behaving well these days?”

“Of course.” Hera’s eyes were full of affection as she deliberately showed her longing and attachment, almost as though she wanted to cling to him.

“Has anyone offended you during this time?” Abel asked, deliberately glancing at Luca.

Hera also glanced at Luca.

She had originally planned to complain about Luca, but remembering the recording in Luca’s hands, she could not bring herself to do anything rash. Despite the resentment in her heart, she could only shake her head and answer, “I’m your woman. Who would dare to bully me?”

“You’re right.” Abel took the opportunity to pull her closer. His eyes were filled with deep affection and obsession when they met hers.

Those eyes would soon belong to Kassy.
