Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3434

Luca also reminded Luke to tell the kids not to contact her during this period. The device could not be removed. If it was, Abel would definitely notice.

Rather than making him suspicious or prompting him to install even better devices, it was better to just leave this one in place.

Luke quickly replied: [Got it.]

Luca put on a faint smile and began narrowing down the search, trying to figure out where that man had installed the device.

If it was just for listening, she did not care. It could stay. However, if it was a surveillance camera, she needed to be more cautious. In the end, she found the device under the bed.

She did not bother checking whether it was for listening or monitoring. After all, if it was placed there, the only possibility was that it was an audio bug.

A camera in that spot would not capture anything useful.

Anyone trained on the Island of Despair would not make such a rookie mistake.

After a quick wash-up, Luca went to bed.

The next morning, she received a message from Johann, informing her that the appointment at the hospital had been made. It was a full VIP package, and all she had to do was mention her name and someone would take Hera for the check-up.

After Luca replied to him with a word of thanks, she continued to freshen up before stepping out of her room.

As she was heading downstairs, she ran into Shanks.

“Mr. Shanks?” Luca was surprised to see him at this time.

“Are you taking that woman for a check-up today?” asked Shanks.

“Yes, it was Mr. Abel’s request,” answered Luca, making it clear that she had no choice in the matter.

Even though she knew what Abel was planning, she had no way to refuse.

Shanks’ eyes darkened. “Come with me. I need to talk to you.”

“Alright.” Luca nodded and followed him into the lab.

There were no surveillance cameras here, making it a good place to talk.

“Abel doesn’t just want that woman’s eyes. He wants her kneecaps too,” said Shanks.

Luca’s eyes widened in shock. “What?”

Abel must have completely lost his mind!

Bone transplants were usually done using the patient’s own bones. There were hardly any cases of transplanting bones from one person to another. It was far too risky.

“I won’t perform the surgery,” Shanks knew there was no chance it would succeed.

Even though he might figure it out in the future, artificial bone technology was already highly advanced. There was absolutely no need for this kind of research.

“This surgery shouldn’t be done. The risk of rejection is too high. Even if their blood types match, it won’t change that. Mr. Shanks, you should try to talk to Mr. Abel again. Artificial kneecaps aren’t bad at all,” replied Luca.

The technology was already mature, and there was no reason to take such a dangerous risk.

“He won’t listen,” replied Shanks.

Abel was stubborn. He believed that artificial kneecaps would negatively affect Kassy’s long-term health and insisted on using real ones instead.

Shanks thought the man was insane. He regretted getting involved in Abel’s work now.

Even though researching was his passion and something he wanted to pursue, he had never intended for his work to be used to harm people.

Shanks did not consider himself a good person, but he was not cruel enough to destroy someone’s life either. He strongly disagreed with Abel’s approach and could not understand his reasoning.

“Mr. Shanks, if you can’t convince him, there’s no way I can,” added Luca.
