Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3462

Ray's tone turned serious. “Alright, I'll make the arrangements immediately. Dr. Craw, once the toxicology report is out, we’ll still need your help.”

“For toxicology cases like this, I recommend combining both modern medicine and traditional herbal medicine. Don’t worry, if I can help, I definitely will,” Luca assured him.

“Alright, thank you.” Ray expressed his gratitude and ended the call before updating Luke on the situation.

Luke reassured him, saying, “If Vivian was really poisoned, don’t worry. Previously, Luca discovered that her biological mother had been poisoned with a slow-acting toxin. She prescribed herbal medicine and used purely traditional herbal medicine to detoxify her. It didn’t take long for all the toxins to be expelled, and her health fully recovered. So, rest assured. If it’s something she can fix, she’ll do everything she can.

“Besides, once we identify the exact problem, the doctors will be able to step in and help, right?”

“Yes. Thank you both in advance,” replied Ray, “I’m taking Vivian to get her blood tested today. Luca said toxic abscesses can cause permanent scarring, so we can’t afford to wait until tomorrow.”

“I’ll contact Johann. He can help arrange everything at the hospital and get you priority access. Vivian’s tests will be fast-tracked,” Luke said as he contacted Johann.

Once Johann heard the situation, he leveraged his extensive network and secured an appointment for Vivian at a well-known top-tier hospital.

Ray took Vivian to the hospital.

Thanks to Johann’s arrangements, the moment they walked in, a medical assistant was already waiting to guide them through the process. Registration, paperwork, and bloodwork were all handled seamlessly.

Ray turned to the assistant and asked, “How long does it usually take to get the results?”

“Toxicology tests are complex since each potential toxin needs to be screened individually. Normally, it takes two to three days. But since you’re a friend of Dr. Park and he spoke to the hospital in advance, you should get the results within 24 hours. We’ll send them to your email, or you can come in with the patient’s card to print them out.” The assistant glanced at Ray’s strikingly handsome face, feeling her heartbeat quicken.

“Alright.” Ray protectively led Vivian away.

As she watched them leave, the assistant could not help but murmur to herself, “Wow, he’s really hot…”

Too bad someone like him was completely out of her reach.

Meanwhile, Luca received Ray’s message and immediately began reviewing the test reports.

As she flipped through them, she simultaneously searched Shanks’ laptop for relevant information. She was looking for any toxins that could cause Vivian’s symptoms.

Shanks’ laptop was equipped with a powerful database, containing an extensive collection of medical records and research. If the database did not have any matches, then the poison used had to be extremely rare.

If that was the case, Vivian’s condition was likely far more critical than they thought.

A tightness formed in Luca’s chest at the thought of it.

Every time she found a toxin that could lead to darkened skin and toxin buildup, she made a note of it. She was being extra thorough in case the hospital’s toxicology tests were not comprehensive enough.

“Any leads?” Shanks sat on his chair and asked calmly, but his hands never stopped precisely mixing a biological compound.

“Not yet,” Luca replied quietly.

“Modern medicine claims to be advanced, yet it overlooks so much critical information,” remarked Shanks. “Luca, if you can’t find anything here, then your friend might not make it. You can’t place all your hopes on the hospital’s toxicology tests.”

Luca pressed her lips together with her gaze fixed on the screen. “I know.”

“I heard you once detoxified your biological mother. Is that true?” asked Shanks.

“Yes,” replied Luca as she recalled the past with a sense of relief.

There were countless poisons in this world.

Fortunately, Leia did not use something too rare on Queenie. If the poison had been obscure enough to evade detection in toxicology reports, there would have been no way to develop an antidote.
