Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 83

"The owner’s my buddy, so I asked him for a spare key to your room..."

From what they heard, the unidentified man Jennifer was struggling from had a wife. His family lived in the small town.

Bianca’s hand was grasping the sheet hard.

She felt sad for her dad.

Dad had struggled for more than 20 years to earn money to support Jennifer and her daughter.

In the end, however, Dad was in the hospital enduring the pain from his terminal illness while his wife Jennifer was cheating on him.

"You dirty man..."

"Don't you like me being nasty? Anyway, I’m better than that guy of yours who either has this cancer or that cancer... Say it... Don’t you agree..."

"Ah... You’re good. You’re the best… Ahhh… Don't thrust so hard… You’re going too deep…”

"Too deep? I think you can still take a couple more inches in you!" the man said crudely, "You’re at such an old age now. Why are you still pretending… I can go deeper… You’re not that tight either… And I’m the only one who can make you come…”

Bianca felt sick to her stomach!

"You know this person?" Luke asked softly after he heard the voice next door.

"She’s… My stepmother."

Bianca felt ashamed for her and her dad.

Luke pushed himself up from her. Her body was like a clothing rack with a function of automatically making the clothes on her look neat. Instantly, she looked well-dressed and sophisticated again.

"Let's go." He did not want her to continue listening to such disgusting things again.

Bianca got up while she was still out of breath and followed him out.

When she was at the hospital in the morning, her Dad told her that Jennifer might also go back to town.

"Go out and wait for me," Luke whispered to her. He patted her shoulder, then stood by himself at the front desk in the hotel, unmoving.

She had no choice but to go out and sit on a bench under the moonlight.

He did not take the money returned by the hotel owner. Instead, he took out his wallet and put a pile of money on the marble countertop, saying, "It's all yours."

A room in the small town cost less than 20 bucks per night. If anyone came down to the small town, there were not many choices to stay in. At the few places available, most people would have to bargain for a long time before getting a room.

The hotel owner looked at the cash on the counter and hesitantly asked, "You are..."

Luke gave all the money he had just withdrawn from the ATM in the small town to the owner. He lit a cigarette between his fingers and took a sip as his black eyes narrowed. He said, "Go and do something for me."

...

Bianca waited for Luke for two minutes. When she realized something was amiss, she went in to look for him.

"I’ve checked out of the room." At that very moment, Luke strode out.

"Why did you check out?" It either meant that he was driving back to A City at night or... He was staying with her at Grandpa's house.

When Luke grabbed one of her small hands and felt that it was cold, he rubbed them as he said, "I was asking the hotel owner if there's a shop nearby that sells bedsheets and blankets."

Grandpa’s place only had one set of old blankets.

The one she was supposed to use for tonight was found in the cabinet after rummaging through it. Since it was very damp, she hung in the front yard in the afternoon to dry it.

Grandpa thought that her guest should stay in the hotel. Even though he was to be his grandson-in-law, they were not married yet. Furthermore, he did not look like he came from an ordinary family, so he probably would not be used to such poverty in a small town.

…

A City.

Allison drove out by herself, parked the car on the side of an empty street, and repeatedly called her son's phone.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable..."

She called Jason instead.
