Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 836

Bianca found the first aid kit in the drawer and helped Luke take off the bloodstained shirt.

The man's bare chest was filled with scars of various intensities.

Those scars bore evidence of his suffering at the Island of Despair for two years.

What shocked Bianca the most was the bullet wound that she found on Luke's chest. Blood was still oozing out from it.

Bianca dared not touch the wound. With trembling hands, she used an alcohol swab to clean the surroundings.

She tried to hold back the tears in her eyes while she cleaned the wound. "This'll sting a bit, Luke. I'll give Johann a call and tell him to come and treat your wound… I'm afraid that I won't be able to extract the bullet and might worsen your condition. How about I take you to the hospital?"

"It's fine. I can handle this myself. It'll be some time before Johann gets here." Luke shook his head at her. He found a pair of medical pliers in the first-aid kit, gritted his teeth, and used the pliers to extract the bullet.

He tossed the bloody bullet into the wastepaper basket.

His deft movements made it seem that he was used to extracting bullets. Bianca's heart was at her throat.

The wound was bleeding again. Aside from a slight frown, Luke's expression did not change.

Seeing that Bianca was about to cry, Luke smiled gently at her and beckoned at her. "Come here and help me clean my wound, my wife."

Bianca bit her lip, but she failed to stop her tears.

She carefully cleaned the wound in case she caused him pain.

It took her about ten minutes to clean and dress the wound.

Bianca held his hand tightly while tears continued to fall.

Luke was surprised at Bianca's reaction. He slowly lifted his arm and draped it over Bianca's shoulders. "I'm really fine, Bea. Don't cry."

Bianca continued to sob for a while before she calmed down.

She looked at him with bloodshot eyes. "The wound is so deep. Aren't you hurt? I can't even stand a paper cut, and you're hit by a gun. Don't lie to me. Also, you were so skillful when you extracted that bullet. Did you get hurt often when you were on the Island of Despair? Are you already so used to it?"

Luke took her arm and smiled. "You deserve to be protected from all harm, and you shouldn't compare yourself to me. If I wince and grimace because of a small wound, would I still be a man?"

"Oh, you… what should I do about you?"

Bianca sighed. She pressed her lips tightly as she inspected the other parts of Luke's body for more wounds. "You have so many scars on your body. Let me see if you're hurt elsewhere…"

Luke held her hands and joked with her. "Please don't reach downward, my wife. I can't resist the temptation."

Bianca was not in the mood for joking. She looked at him in a daze, puffed her cheeks, and said solemnly, "You promised me that you won't get hurt anymore, but you keep on getting injured over and over again. I don't know how to trust you anymore."
