Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 865

Bianca walked up to Nina and gently patted her back. "Hey, it's time to go home, you workaholic. Let me treat you to supper."

Nina put her pen down, tidied up the scattered pieces of paper on her desk, and smiled gently. "No, thanks. I'll have to rush home later. My mom called me earlier and said that she's fallen sick. I'd better go home soon. Otherwise, she'll be yelling at me again."

Bianca was worried when she saw that Nina's complexion was pale. "Should I go with you?"

She knew that Anna, Nina's mother, had always abused Nina.

Anna's abuse was not so flagrant. Even since Jean was sent to prison, Anna's character seemed to have changed totally. She had become a leech that sucked Nina's blood.

Nina declined. "It's fine. I can manage it. My mom is still very prejudiced against you. I don't think it's a good idea that you show up."

Jean was sentenced to six years in prison because he had plotted to harm Bianca. He was still in prison.

Bianca was silent. She remembered how Jean used to love and care for her, but he suddenly became as terrifying as a demon. He had drugged her and let his friends violate her as though she were nothing but an object.

It was a painful incident that she did not wish to remember.

Even so, they were once in a relationship, and Bianca could not help but ask Nina about Jean. "How is… how is your brother now?"

Nina tried to sound relaxed. "He's alright. I visited him a few months ago. He's thinner and more haggard, but his personality seems to have changed. It looks like he's become a more positive person. Looks like he has learned his lesson in prison."

"How… long more will he be in there?"

Jean was sentenced to six years in prison for attempted rape. Usually, someone who committed that crime would have received a three-year sentence, but Luke had fought for the maximum sentence of six years.

"I've heard from the wardens that my brother's sentence is reduced by two and a half years because of good behavior. He's already been inside for three years, so it'll be another year before he's free."

Bianca was silent for a while before sighing. "Do you hate me, Nina? Your brother is in prison because of me, and your life has turned upside-down."

Nina playfully punched Bianca's shoulder and glared at her. "What are you talking about? Jean deserves to be sent to prison. If I were the victim, I'd also do what you did. Also, I've told you many times that you're not the one at fault. I just happened to meet a bad guy. Alright, let's not mention the past anymore. I'll be heading off!"

Bianca was worried as she watched Nina leave.

She did not say anything and shook her head helplessly.

…

Nina drove for almost three hours back to her parents' house at Caerhill Town. It was almost midnight when she arrived.

Her high heels clicked on the old steps of a residential building.
