Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3403

“Don’t worry, it won’t affect you in the slightest,” said Abel.

The villa was bought under Shanks’ name.

So while it appeared to be the Island of Despair’s property, it was, in fact, Shanks’ personal asset.

Abel shot a glance at his subordinates, who stood beside him. Without hesitation, they grabbed the doctor and hauled him away.

As Hera watched the scene unfold, she felt a sudden pang of unease. She was well aware of Abel's methods. Punishment was never off the table.

However, seeing the way things were unfolding, Hera could not shake the feeling that Abel might actually take the doctor’s life.

Still, they were in A City, a country with strict laws. Would Abel really go that far?

As Abel turned to leave, Hera said almost nervously, “Darling…”

“I have some matters to take care of. Be good and stay here. Don’t wander around, okay?” Abel’s mood was apparently lifted by the successful surgery. His voice was unexpectedly gentle.

Hera’s unease only deepened. She grabbed the sleeve of his coat. “Darling, are you leaving again? I’m so bored I could die! Why don’t you take me with you? I promise I won’t cause any trouble.”

Abel pulled his arm free. He looked at her with a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown. “Trust me. You wouldn’t want to see what I’m about to do.”

A chill ran down Hera’s spine.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Would Abel actually kill someone?

How could that be possible?

The thought of his hands stained with blood yet still touching her made Hera shudder uncontrollably.

Being touched by someone with blood on their hands was no good omen. She feared that her own blood might soon stain Abel's hands as well.

As she watched the doctor being dragged away, Abel left with a smile on his face. A wave of fear crept into her heart, and everything around her began to feel strangely surreal.

Abel's smile was laced with bloodthirsty cruelty.

As their figures disappeared from view, Hera turned to Luca.

Even though she was reluctant to speak to her, her curiosity got the better of her. “Do you think they’ll kill that doctor?”

“If you’re so curious, Ms. Sanchez, why don’t you go and see for yourself?” Luca had a good idea of the fate awaiting the doctor but knew there was nothing she could do about it.

Besides, Luca had her suspicions. If Luke had planted someone among them, it certainly was not this doctor.

The person he chose would not be so clumsy. He would not have gotten slapped and coughed up blood from a hit, and neither would he have done such a blatant job of sabotaging the surgery.

No, anyone sent by Luke would be far more intelligent and discreet.

As Luca started toward the medical van, Hera’s voice cut through the air. “Luca, what kind of attitude is that?”

Luca paused for a moment. Was her attitude really a problem?

“I asked you a question, and that’s the answer you gave me?” Hera could not help but feel upset. She had hoped the surgery would fail, giving Abel an excuse to punish Luca. Instead, her plan had backfired. The surgery was a success.

Now, when Hera asked her a question, Luca still carried herself with that arrogant, untouchable attitude.

Hera could not stand it.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my attitude.” After that, Luca got into the van and shut the van door behind her.

After disinfecting her hands, she walked over to the volunteer.

Shanks had given clear instructions, and she was more than capable of handling it.

Hera was so furious that she wished she could storm in and drag Luca out by her collar.

However, she remembered how much Abel cared about this patient. The thought stopped her in her tracks. She could not afford to cross Abel. If she did, she would be the one to face the consequences. It would not be Luca.

At the thought of this, Hera forced herself to hold back.
