Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3455

Luca deliberately cracked her knuckles, making a loud 'pop' sound.

Gerald immediately shrank back, pulling his neck in.

“Ms. Craw, I’m sorry! I was being nosy. Please don’t be mad. I’ll just go take a nap,” he quickly apologized.

“Hold on.” Luca stopped him.

“What is it?” Gerald looked at her in confusion.

“Do you know how to remove an IV yet?” asked Luca.

“I’ve seen it done a lot, but I haven’t actually tried it myself.” A glint of eagerness flashed in Gerald’s eyes. “Ms. Craw, are you asking me to give it a shot?”

“Do you want to try?” asked Luca.

“Yes!” Gerald nodded enthusiastically. “I may not be a medical genius, but I can at least do something useful.”

“Come with me. Let’s start with changing the IV bag,” instructed Luca.

Gerald followed her, and under her guidance, he clumsily went through the steps but managed to replace the IV bag successfully.

“This is so cool! I think I could totally be a nurse.” Gerald flashed a victory sign. “What do you think? Would I make a good male nurse?”

Luca rolled her eyes. She was not sure about male nurses in general, but she was certain Gerald would end up killing a lot of patients.

“Once the patient is done with his IV drip, I’ll teach you how to remove the IV and seal the site properly,” said Luca. Since they were using indwelling needles, he would not need to remove the needles directly from the vein. He only had to detach it from the catheter and seal it off.

“Got it! Ms. Craw, you’re teaching me all this because you’re planning to go somewhere soon, right?” Gerald asked knowingly.

“Yes, I have something to take care of the day after tomorrow.” Luca nodded and admitted.

“Where are you going? Can you pick up something for me?” Gerald’s eyes lit up.

“You’re already out of cigarettes?” Luca frowned.

“Not exactly. I just want to stock up. I have a feeling that once this experiment is over, you’ll be leaving. If I need more cigarettes after that, I’ll either have to sneak out wearing a hat and a mask like some shady guy or ask someone else to get them for me.

"But every time they help, they either take a few packs for themselves or overcharge me. These guys are richer than me, but they still pull this crap. I seriously can’t deal with it,” replied Gerald.

Gerald was a wanted fugitive outside now, unable to take on even the simplest tasks. That meant his income was limited to a basic salary. It was tough for him.

Even though his basic salary was still more than what most people earned working outside, but compared to the others here, he was broke. Getting ripped off by them just made it worse.

Gerald looked at Luca with hopeful eyes.

“Fine. Same cigarettes as last time?” asked Luca.

“Yes!” Gerald nodded eagerly. “Please get a few extra cartons if that’s possible. I’ll transfer you the money now.”

As he spoke, he swiftly transferred the money to her bank account.

Luca felt helpless and added, “Try to cut back. Smoking that much is bad for your health.”

"Got it, Ms. Craw. Don’t worry, I’ve already cut down on smoking. I just feel better knowing I have a stash," Gerald replied cheerfully.

…

Two days later, in the early hours of the morning.

Gale was at the airport for pickup duty.

Vivian and Ray’s flight arrived at X City Airport just past midnight.

After meeting them at the arrivals exit, Gale could not help but glance at Vivian with curiosity.

She was completely covered up with a mask, hat, and sunglasses, making it impossible to see her face. However, her exposed hands and neck revealed something unusual.
