Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 644

Even though his hand was saved, Luke thought that he had failed. Gordan should not have agreed to the marriage.

If only Gordan could hold on for a few more minutes, Luke believed that they would not have failed in the last step.

Luke could guess what Ray was thinking. Ray, as a man standing on the pinnacle of power, should be smart enough to weigh the pros and cons of offending Luke.

Luke was sure that Ray would not burn bridges with him, no matter how much he loved his sister. After all, T Corporation was under the Russian government's protection.

As the leader of the Russian mafia, Ray would not brazenly challenge the government.

That was why Luke gambled that Ray would not want him to cripple himself. Gordan had been too impulsive.

Luke shook his head and looked accusingly at Gordan.

Gordan did not show any regret. "I won't change my decision."

If marrying an ugly woman was all it took to save his good friend's hand, he would not hesitate to do so.

Ray was very satisfied with the outcome. He saw how cruel but loyal Luke could be at crucial moments.

Criminal overlords appreciated people like that. Very soon, Ray and Luke became sworn brothers.

Both parties were satisfied at the end of the negotiations.

Soon, the doctor came to treat Luke's wound.

His wrist was a bloody mess, and he had lost a lot of blood.

Fortunately, the skilled doctor soon stopped the bleeding and bandaged the wound.

After that, Ray invited them to the most luxurious hotel in town and hosted a banquet for them.

That was the first time Luke met Vivian, Ray's sister.

Luke nearly spat out the wine in his mouth. He expected a woman with a beautiful name like "Vivian" and a handsome younger brother like Ray should have decent looks.

When he saw her, he finally understood why Gordan would rather die than marry her.

Vivian was Eastern European, but she did not look like one. Instead of being tall, healthy, and beautiful, she was short and skinny like an underdeveloped beansprout.

Her skin was not as fair as the typical Caucasian, but rather dark and splotchy like a moldy piece of bread. Furthermore, her fashion sense was terrible.

The only good point about Vivian's appearance was probably her sea-blue eyes. They were not very big, but they were lively and animated. Other than that, she did not seem like a match for the tall and handsome Gordan.

No wonder Vivian remained single at thirty years old even though she had a wealthy and influential younger brother. Luke began to pity Gordan and wondered if Ray took all the good points from their parents while leaving the bad points for Vivian.

He could not help but compare Vivian to Bianca at home. Bianca was so much more beautiful.

Bianca's beauty was not the flashy type but rather modest and long-lasting. She would not take anyone's breath away, but she was a sight for sore eyes. After living with her for some time, Luke felt that the joy of seeing her had permeated his bones and touched his soul.

To him, she was the most beautiful woman.

He would grow tired of looking at other women, but not her. She was the softest spot in his heart.
