Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3457

Hera suddenly lost her interest when she heard what he said.

“You’re the kind of person with no faith or dreams,” replied Hera.

Gerald chuckled and asked, “Then what’s your dream, Ms. Sanchez?”

“Me? It’s simple. I want to make lots and lots of money,” Hera answered without hesitation.

She did not think it was embarrassing at all. Making money was not a crime or something shameful. There was nothing wrong with saying it out loud.

Gerald nodded. “So that’s why you chose to be with the boss?”

“Your boss is rich.” Hera narrowed her eyes. “Since you’ve done so much for me, I’ll do you a favor.”

“A favor?” Gerald raised an eyebrow, unsure of what she meant.

“I have your boss’ black card now. What luxury item do you want? I can buy you something. Just keep working hard for me in the future.” Hera believed that money could solve everything.

Gerald froze for a moment, his lips twitching. “Ms. Sanchez, even if you hate me, you don’t have to set me up like this.”

Hera blinked. “I’m not setting you up.”

“If you use the boss’ money to buy me something, people who know the situation might say it’s a reward. But people who don’t might think you’re keeping me. If that rumor reaches the boss, I’m doomed.”

Even though Gerald loved money, he was perfectly aware of how dangerous this idea could be.

Hera paused for a moment. Gerald had a point.

“Forget it, then,” replied Hera, deciding to spend the money on herself instead.

“But Ms. Sanchez, it seems like the boss really spoils you. He even gave you a black card and let you spend it freely. Looks like you might just become the boss’ wife,” Gerald flattered her with a grin.

“Enough.” Hera frowned. “Everyone knows I’m just a plaything to him. As long as I stay in line and give him what he wants, that’s all that matters. Nothing else is important.”

She was well aware of her position.

If Abel truly cared about her, as Gerald suggested, he would not be keeping her here.

Besides, love was not just about money. It required emotional care too, and that was something Abel had never given her. She knew exactly where she stood.

Still, Hera felt that things were not so bad. At least she was getting free treatment while she was here.

“Well, as long as you’ve come to terms with it. I’ll go make your medicine,” said Gerald before leaving the room.

Before Luca left, she told him that Shanks would be preparing the herbal medicine, and he needed to pick it up.

“Why can’t herbal medicine just be injected like IV fluids?” groaned Hera.

The taste of the medicine from yesterday had been unbearable, lingering on her tongue and attacking her senses. Every cell in her body had resisted it.

“Maybe you can ask Ms. Craw when she gets back. We can see if she can find a way to make it happen,” Gerald joked as he walked away.

Hera rolled her eyes helplessly.

…

Luca took a taxi to a five-star hotel.

As soon as she stepped into the lobby and before she even had a chance to ask the front desk, two foreign men approached her.

“Hello, are you Ms. Craw?” one of them asked.

“Yes, and you are…” Luca paused for a moment.

“We work for Mr. Ray. We’ve been waiting here for you,” one of the men replied.

Luca nodded and followed them into the elevator.
