Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 648

Queenie could see how anxious Bianca was. She glared at Leia accusingly, then handed her phone to Bianca. "You can use my phone for now, Bea."

"Thank you, Aunt Queenie." Bianca took the phone and dialed Luke's number.

Luke's phone was turned off.

Bianca was incredibly anxious. Her breathing was shallow and labored.

She did not give up and kept on dialing Luke's number. However, the result disappointed her.

She tried dialing Sean's number but could not get through either. That made Bianca even more anxious.

Following that, she dialed Jason's number.

Jason picked up after a few seconds. "Yes, Ms. Rayne?"

Bianca spoke frantically, "Mr. Doyle, do you have any other way of contacting Luke? I can't reach him on his phone, and I don't know what's going on."

"Don't worry, Ms. Rayne. I'll contact the staff in the Russian branch, and I'll give you a reply soon," Jason comforted her.

"Mm, please hurry! I broke my phone, and you can call me back on this number."

"Yes, Madam."

Bianca remained uneasy after the call ended.

Queenie helped her sit on the couch and said to her gently, "Don't be too agitated, Bea. Luke will be fine. You have to take care of the baby in your womb."

Bianca sat down on the couch. She dug her fingers into her scalp and tried to calm herself down, but it was all of no use.

Meanwhile, Leia was still whispering to Charmaine, but she seemed visibly nervous, and she ate the chips at a slower pace.

She occasionally stole glances at Bianca, and her ears were pricked to eavesdrop on what Bianca said.

Even though Luke had been merciless to her, she felt uneasy whenever his name was mentioned.

About ten minutes later, Queenie's phone started ringing. It was only ten minutes, but Bianca thought that it had been a very long time.

She grabbed the phone and asked, "Do you have any news about Luke, Mr. Doyle?"

Jason was silent for a few seconds, and there was a gravity in his voice. "Ms. Rayne, the staff there could not contact Mr. Crawford. There might be an accident. I'll have to fly to Moscow."

Bianca covered her mouth when she heard that Luke might be caught in an accident. She tried hard not to cry. "No, how can that happen to Luke? He promised me that he'd return safely!"

"That's only a tentative guess, Ms. Rayne," Jason said sternly, "Don't worry, I'll book a flight to Moscow now. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news. Mr. Crawford told me that if he could not be contacted, I should calm you down and tell you that he will return to you no matter what."

Bianca's shoulders trembled after the phone call ended. She was enveloped in sadness.

Queenie gently hugged her. "Bea…"

Bianca could not hold it in anymore. She started sobbing. "Aunt Queenie…"

Tears welled up in Queenie's eyes when she saw how sad Bianca was.

She took a napkin and gently wiped Bianca's tears away. "Silly girl, don't be too sad before you find out the truth. You should control your emotions and wait for Luke's news. What if Luke comes back and you've fallen sick? That's not worth the trouble."
