Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3433

“Babe, don’t listen to her nonsense. She’s just trying to drive a wedge between us,” Hera said gently, hoping to earn Abel's affection.

Abel did not take Hera’s words seriously. Instead, he picked up his phone and made a few inquiries.

After checking with multiple sources to confirm where Lucius and the others had gone, the person on the other end of the line reported that Lucius had not left home in the past few days.

As Luca listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, her expression remained calm.

Gerald let out a sigh of relief but was also puzzled. He had always felt there was something going on between Lucius and Luca, yet unexpectedly, Luca’s outing this time had nothing to do with Lucius.

Hera’s face turned pale. So, it really was not because of him.

In that case, she…

Hera instinctively looked at Abel, only to find that he was already staring at her. Their eyes met, and Hera could not help but shudder. Abel’s gaze was terrifyingly cold.

Just when she thought he was going to question her about Lucius, his next words made her breathe a sigh of relief.

“Are you still feeling unwell?” asked Abel.

Hera was not actually feeling unwell anymore, but worried that Abel might press further, she nodded and said, “Yes, I still feel awful.”

Abel turned to Luca. “Take Ms. Sanchez to the hospital for a full-body check-up tomorrow.”

Luca was startled for a moment and turned to look at them.

Hera felt that a full-body check-up was a bit excessive. She hesitated before saying in a low voice, “I think I’ll be fine after some rest.”

“No. If something’s wrong, I’ll be worried.” Abel gently traced the area under her eyes with his fingertips. “Be good and do as I say. Get a full examination so that I can be at ease.”

“Alright,” Hera agreed obediently, thinking that this was his way of showing he cared.

When a man gave a woman something, she should not refuse as it would only dismiss his goodwill. Therefore, Hera decided to accept his kindness.

Abel turned to Luca and asked sternly, “Did you hear me?”

“Yes, I got it,” replied Luca. She glanced at Hera’s happy expression but remained indifferent.

Abel arranging a full check-up for Hera probably meant he was preparing to take action. Yet Hera was still sitting there, blissfully unaware of what was coming.

Sensing Luca’s gaze on her, Hera smugly shot her a look of triumph.

Luca caught her glance and secretly let out a sigh. What was there to be so proud of? She was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

After giving Hera a few more instructions, Abel reminded her to take good care of herself. He also promised to pick her up after the check-up and take her shopping. With that, he finally left the small villa.

The group dispersed.

Only Luca, Hera, and Gerald were left in the living room on the first floor.

Hera leisurely stood up from the couch and said to Luca, “You have to take me there for my check-up tomorrow. Make sure to arrange everything properly. I want VIP service. I don’t want to be stuck waiting with the common crowd.”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Sanchez. I’ll contact the hospital and arrange a full VIP check-up for you,” replied Luca.

Hera smirked arrogantly. “It better be that way. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Then, she turned toward the stairs. It was as though she was showing off as she muttered to herself, “Ugh, which bag should I buy tomorrow?”

Gerald watched as Hera disappeared up the stairs, then turned to look at Luca.

Luca was on the phone, arranging the check-up with the hospital.
