Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3458

Vivian’s body moved slightly.

Luca patiently waited for her. After three minutes, Vivian sat up and turned around.

Luca frowned when she saw the condition of Vivian's face.

“Can I take a closer look?” asked Luca.

“Yes.” Vivian nodded.

Luca turned on her phone's flashlight, moved closer, and carefully examined the small bumps on Vivian's skin.

Not only had her skin darkened, but a dense patch of tiny bumps had appeared. Luca assessed the situation and said, “It looks a bit like small toxic abscesses.”

Vivian's lips trembled violently when she heard that.

Luca reassured her, “Don't be scared. Can I take some photos?”

“Okay.” Vivian nodded.

Luca took a few photos with her phone and then asked, “By the way, you must have gone to the hospital for tests, right? Do you still have the reports?”

“They're with Ray,” Vivian replied in a low voice.

After getting the test results, she had spent days and nights studying them. Still, she was not a doctor, and all she could do was search for answers online. However, she only found a long list of serious diseases.

Yet every doctor she consulted told her it was not any known skin condition.

Still unwilling to give up, Vivian kept analyzing the reports, refusing to eat or sleep. She was desperate to figure out what was happening to her face.

Ray had no choice but to take the reports away from her by force when he saw that.

“Alright, I'll ask Mr. Ray for them later.” Luca gently touched one of the bumps on Vivian's face. “Does it hurt?”

“No.” Vivian had long gotten used to these examinations. “Every time these bumps appear, they don’t hurt or itch. But the way they show up is really strange.

“I've had acne before, and there’s usually some warning, like redness or tenderness. But these just appear overnight—no pain or itchiness. They won’t go away no matter what I do. In fact, they keep spreading.”

Vivian recalled the first time she noticed them, and her voice was filled with frustration.

Luca frowned.

Most skin conditions, including herpes, came with warning signs.

However, she was certain Vivian’s case was not just an ordinary skin disease. If it were, the doctors would have already diagnosed and treated her.

“Did the doctors prescribe anything?” asked Luca, assuming Vivian had already sought medical help but had not received a clear diagnosis.

“Yes, they gave me some ointments, suggested light therapy, and even wanted me to take steroid medication. But aside from gaining weight, nothing helped at all.” Vivian covered her face in distress.

The medication also affected her mood. She had been feeling utterly drained lately.

What she regretted most was returning to Russia.

“Luca, does this mean I can never go back to Russia?” asked Vivian.

She had been fine while in A City, so why did she become like this after going back to Russia?

Luca’s heart skipped a beat as a thought suddenly crossed her mind.

“Vivian, listen to me. Don't be afraid. I’ll do everything I can to help you,” replied Luca. She took Vivian’s hand and felt her pulse.

Her pulse was a little unsteady.

“Vivian, I think I have a lead. Don’t overthink it. I’ll help you. I promise. Just give me a little time, okay?”

Vivian's eyes welled up with tears. “Luca, are you just trying to comfort me?”

“I'm not.” Luca placed her fingers on Vivian’s other wrist to check her pulse again.

The results were similar to what she had just observed.

She withdrew her hand and reassured her, “Trust me. Everything will be okay.”
