Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 979

Luke was also reluctant to be separated from her for so many days. He hugged her tightly and said, "We'll send the children back to Crawford Manor, and you can come along with me."

Bianca knew that the children would be taken care of in Crawford Manor, but there were other reasons she could not leave.

She leaned on his chest and said unhappily, "I have to attend to my company. There's St. Heckler's new project, and Nina is in the hospital. I'll have to take over her work."

Luke stroked her hair gently, feeling a little sorry for her. She would not have been so busy if he had not supported her decision to start her own company.

He could only accept that she was too busy with work to accompany him on a business trip. "I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Mm," Bianca replied. She glanced at the suitcase next to them and hugged him even more tightly.

Luke held her arm and carefully examined it. The redness had dissipated, but the bruise became even more obvious. He led her out of the bedroom, took the first-aid kit, and sat on the couch in the living room. "I'll massage it for you."

"Mm." Bianca gave him her hand.

Luke placed her hand on his lap and took out a bottle of tincture.

"Please be gentle…" Bianca reminded him.

"Are you still afraid of pain?" Luke was not very happy when he looked at the bruise on Bianca's wrist and wondered how strong Pierre's grip was. He dared not be too rough with her, but Pierre…

He thought that he had to do something.

"I'm not, but I'm afraid I'll wake the kids if I scream too loudly," Bianca said as she watched him pour some tincture onto his palm.

"This'll sting a little." After Luke warmed up his palms, he gripped onto Bianca's wrist and massaged it. "I'll have to press hard so that the bruise will fade."

Bianca tried not to make a noise as Luke massaged her.

"If it hurts, you can lean on me." Luke poured some tincture on her wrist.

Bianca placed her head on Luke's shoulder and pressed her lips together tightly.

The bruise hurt whenever she lightly touched it, and it was even more painful when Luke massaged it. Bianca tried hard not to scream, and her forehead was wet with perspiration.

"It's getting warmer these days," Bianca grumbled softly. Indeed, summer was coming.

"Careful not to kick the blanket if you're turning on the air-conditioning. Don't catch a cold," Luke said while massaging her.

"I know. Do you think that I'm three years old? I won't kick the blanket." Bianca was distracted by those words and smiled.

"You'll kick the blanket." Luke stopped massaging when he was done. He closed the bottle and put it back into the first-aid kit.

"No, I won't. I always behave in bed." Bianca stretched her wrist and felt a lot better. She thought that she never kicked the blanket.

"You always kick the blanket, Bea," Luke said, hearing how confident she was.

"Really?" Bianca asked doubtfully.

"I always tuck you in." Luke's hands smelled of the tincture. He was not going to touch her but instead went to the washroom.

Bianca followed behind him. "Why don't I know about it? Are you messing with me?"

"I'm telling you the truth," Luke said as he pumped liquid soap on his hands. After washing his hands and drying them, he turned around, hugged her, and caressed her waist, which aroused her. "It's late. Let's rest."

Bianca pushed him away as she felt every cell of her body awaken. "You haven't taken a bath yet," she said, blushing.
