Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1281- Luke Could Read Luca’s Personality

Luca stashed the notepaper in her pocket after giving it a brief glance.

Then, she stood up and said, "That knife, you were preparing to use it on William, right?"

Paul's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes opened wide as he watched Luca leave the room.

He had put on a convincing disguise so that other people thought that he and William were best pals despite their differences in family backgrounds.

Many people thought that Paul was willing to be William's lackey so that he could gain some benefits from him.

However, no one, including the people on the same football team, knew that he hated William to the bone.

How did the woman in front of him guess it so easily?

Paul clenched his fists tightly as he watched her leave. If William found out that Paul had meant to cut him with the knife, Paul would no longer have a future.

After Luca left the police station, she caught a cab and returned to the hotel.

Meanwhile, Jason was informed that Luca had appeared at the police station and had met with Paul.

He immediately reported that to Luke. "Things are just like you expected,

Mr. Crawford."

Jason did not mention Luca's name because Tommy was within earshot, and he did not want Tommy to know because children could not be trusted to keep secrets.

Luke lowered his gaze. He picked up his pen, signed his initials at the end of the document, and handed it to Jason. Noted." "The people from the police station also said that Paul gave her a piece of notepaper. She only asked him about where he obtained the snake venom and mentioned nothing about the slashing incident," Jason continued his report.

Luke had already arranged the meeting between Luca and Paul because he knew that she would go to the police station.

Much to Jason's surprise, Luca indeed went to the police station. He could not help but be impressed by how well his boss read Luca's personality.

"Mm," Luke replied while opening another document. He was not too surprised because he had predicted it.

Tommy was confused as he listened to their conversation because they did not mention the name of the woman they were talking about. He hopped off the couch and went to the bedside. "I'm hungry, Daddy."

Luke shot a glance at Jason.

Jason immediately understood what he meant. "Little Mr. Crawford, let me go downstairs and buy dinner for you."

Tommy immediately shook his head. "I don't want to eat hospital food, Uncle Jason. Daddy, I want to eat Ms. Luca's cooking."

He had lunch at the hospital cafeteria earlier during lunch, and the food only made him miss Luca's cooking even more. He was not going to eat in the hospital again.

Jason scratched the back of his head. Tommy was a picky eater, just like his father.

He knew that the food in the hospital cafeteria was not palatable, but there was nothing much that he could do about the situation.

Luke also did not eat much for his past two meals. He asked Jason, "Do you know if the hotel allows the guests to use the kitchen?"

Jason was taken aback by the question. 'TH have to ask them."

Luke nodded. Jason gave a call to the hotel front desk and received a reply.

"Mr. Crawford, the hotel said that they are willing to accommodate any requests from the guests that want to use the kitchen." "Mm." Luke took out his phone and handed it to Tommy. "Do you want to eat? Here, take the phone."

Tommy immediately understood what his father meant. He unlocked the phone with the passcode and gave Luca a call.

The call went through, and Tommy immediately began to fake a cry. "Ms. Luca, I'm starving..."

Luca had only just returned to the hotel and put her handbag down. She could tell that Tommy was faking his cries, so she said calmly, "Why would you be starving? Isn't Mr. Doyle at the hospital with you and Daddy? You can ask him to buy food for you."

Tommy glanced at Jason and continued fake-crying. "The food at the hospital is terrible, Ms. Luca. Daddy hasn't been eating well for two meals, and he's starving too. The doctor said that Daddy needs

to eat his meals so that he can recover quickly, and I'll also need to eat so that I can grow tall and strong. Please save us, Ms. Luca."

Jason was impressed as he watched Tommy "cry" into the phone without a single tear in his eyes. If the Oscars had an award for Best Child Actor, Tommy would definitely win it.

Luca sighed. It was not too surprising that Luke and Tommy were not used to eating hospital food because they were used to eating good food. "What do you want to eat then? I'll go and buy it for you." "I want to eat your cooking, Ms. Luca." Now that Luca had said that, Tommy was all too eager to make his request.

"But I can't cook for you now, Tommy. We're not in A City now."

Luca would not mind cooking for Tommy if they were back in A City, but she could not satisfy Tommy's request now because she had no access to a kitchen.

"Ms. Luca, the hotel said that you can use their kitchen. Please have some pity on me. My stomach is already growling," Tommy said as he rubbed his stomach. He knew that Luca was easily convinced, so he continued to act pitiable.

Even though Luca could tell that Tommy was faking his crying, she knew that he was truly hungry. "Alright, I'll go and ask the front desk. If I can really use their kitchen, I'll cook something and send it over soon." "Thank you, Ms. Luca. I love you so much!" Tommy made some kissing sounds to the phone and ended the call.

When he handed the phone back to Luke, he said smugly, "Let's wait for food, Daddy."

Jason could not help but ask, "Is Dr. Craw's cooking really that amazing?

"Ms. Luca is a very good cook," Tommy said, overjoyed even though he had not tasted the food. He returned to the couch and continued to read his book.

After ending the call with Tommy, Luca made a call to the front desk. Just like what Tommy said, the hotel had a guest kitchen, and the guests can use every ingredient and utensil inside.

She went downstairs and into the guest kitchen. There was no one else inside. After all, someone who could afford to stay in the hotel would not need to cook food for themselves.

She brought some food ingredients to the checkout counter and began to cook.

An hour later, she divided the food into three portions. Then, she made some spaghetti for herself.

She quickly finished her dinner, packed up the food, went upstairs to take a shower, and changed her clothes before she rushed over to the hospital.

The moment she opened the door to the ward, she could hear Tommy grumbling, "Daddy, why isn't Ms. Luca here yet? I'm so hungry. Are you hungry?"

Luke did not reply to his question. He was reading a document.

Luca said, "Dinner’s here."

Tommy jumped up happily when he heard Luca's voice. "You're finally here to save me, Ms. Luca! Boo hoo hoo, I'm so hungry."

Luca smiled gently. She put the boxes of food on the coffee table, picked up the smallest one, and handed it to Tommy. "This one's for you."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1282- Luke Suspected Her

Tommy could not wait to open his food box. The aroma of the food assailed his nostrils.

Jason glanced at Tommy's dinner. There was a variety of food in the box, and it seemed very delicious...

He could not help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva. He was not as picky about food as Luke or Tommy, but the food at the hospital was not appetizing at all.

Jason hoped that he could have a taste...

Luca handed him a box. "This one's for you, Mr. Doyle." "I get to eat too?" Jason was quite surprised. He noticed that Luca had brought three boxes of food and thought that there was none for him.

"Mm, this one's yours," Luca said as she picked up the last box of food.

"If you gave me this box, what about you?" Jason asked.

"I've already eaten." Luca brought the box of food to the bed, then raised the table. "Dinner is served, Mr. Crawford."

Luke nodded and put the documents aside.

Luca noticed that there was a stack of documents on the bedside cabinet.

Even though he had been seriously ill the night before, he was already working again in less than a day.

'He's working so hard. Doesn't he care about his health at all?' Luca frowned when she thought of that.

Luke noticed the slight change in Luca's expression. Was she not satisfied with something, or was it something else?

Jason and Tommy were already happily eating their dinner. Luke glanced at them and said, "Bring me a glass of water." "Alright." Luca nodded and poured a glass of warm water for him.

Luke drank a sip to wet his throat. Then, he picked up the cutlery and began to eat slowly.

Luca watched as Luke elegantly ate his dinner as though he was not hungry at all. It was as though the person who was violently ill the night before was only a hallucination.

She sat on the couch.

After Tommy finished eating, he licked his lips and said, "Your cooking is really amazing, Ms. Luca."

Jason also praised her. "I didn't expect that you're such a good cook, Dr.

Craw." "It's nothing." Luca shook her head. She took the box from Tommy’s hands, then wiped his mouth with a paper napkin.

Tommy was happy after his stomach was full. He leaned onto Luca's side and said, "You're the best, Ms. Luca. Thank you."

Luca smiled and patted Tommy's head.

Luke finished his dinner slowly. After that, he told Jason, "Bring these documents back to the office." "Yes." Jason nodded and began to pack up the empty boxes. He noticed that all three of them had wiped the food clean.

Luca's dishes tasted homemade, but Luke and Tommy loved them.

After cleaning up, Jason picked up the stack of documents. Before he left the ward, he looked at Luca, who was sitting on the couch, and said, "Dr. Craw, can you stay here for a little longer? I'll be back soon."

Luca nodded and said, "Alright, no problem."

Jason smiled gratefully at Luca and left the place.

Tommy handed her one of his books. "Ms. Luca, if you're feeling bored, you can read a book."

Luca took the book from Tommy. If not for the book, it would have been quite awkward if Luca continued to stare at Luke finishing the remainder of his work.

She opened the book, and even though it was a children's book, it was still very interesting.

Luke had been keeping an eye on the people on the couch. He had a sudden feeling of peace and tranquility when he saw Luca reading together with Tommy, the silence being occasionally broken by the flipping of pages.

He took his phone and sent a message to Jason.

Soon, the nurse came into the ward and smiled. "Your medical report is ready, Mr. Crawford."

Luke nodded and turned his gaze on Luca.

Luca stood up, went forward, took the report from the nurse, and handed it to Luke.

"I don't understand it." Luke did not take it from his hands. In other words, he wanted her to look at it.

Luca nodded. The reports were too technical for someone with no experience in medicine, so it was not surprising that Luke did not understand.

She was quite happy after flipping through the pages. She could tell that the concentration of venom in Luke's body was a lot lower than before." According to the report, the toxins have almost been purged from your body. If this rate goes on, you should be able to get out of bed by tomorrow.

Even though Luca did not smile, Luke could sense the happiness in her.

"That's earlier than what Johann had predicted,” He said.

"Your body can detoxify itself quickly because you have a strong constitution," Luca said.

Tommy was listening to the conversation. He added, "It might be because of Ms. Luca's medicine too, Daddy. Ms. Luca saved you."

Luca was taken aback. Tommy had reminded her that Luke had taken her medicine.

Her medicine might also be the reason why the poison was neutralized so quickly.

"Did you bring the medicine?" Luke asked.

Luca shook her head. Did he want to send the medicine for analysis because he suspected that the medicine was poison?

She was not very happy when she thought that Luke was suspecting her." There is no problem with my medicine," she said.

Luke raised an eyebrow when he heard the slight aggression in Luca's tone. He knew that she had mistaken what he meant.

"I want to recover more quickly," he explained.

Luca was taken aback again after realizing that she had misinterpreted Luke's words.

Her fingers discreetly clenched the medical report. "You should be able to get out of bed by tomorrow."

Luke did not ask for the medicine anymore when he heard that. Instead, he paused for a while and said, "I want to take a shower."

He had thrown up on himself the night before, and he had not taken a shower for the entire day. He was already at his limit of tolerance.

Luca placed the medical report in the drawer and said awkwardly, "Let's wait for Mr. Doyle to return."

Immediately after she had finished speaking, her phone began to ring.

Luca glanced at the screen and saw that the call was from Jason. She answered the call and said, "Hello, Mr. Doyle."

Jason said, "Dr. Craw, I might have to trouble you with something." "Please say it." Luca had a bad premonition when she heard that Jason sounded apologetic.

"Some urgent business came up at the company, and I don't think I can go over to the hospital tonight. Can you take care of Mr. Crawford for me? I can't leave the company now, and Mr. Crawford doesn't like caretakers," Jason lied to her.

He would rather not tell the lie, but his boss had sent him a message telling him what to do, and he could not refuse the order.

Luca was speechless.

Jason continued, "Do you have something else tonight, Dr. Craw?" "I don't have anything in my schedule tonight, Mr. Doyle," Luca said helplessly.

"That's great. I'll leave Mr. Crawford under your care," Jason said. He felt uneasy about telling the lie, so he immediately hung up.

Luca was stunned for a while. She listened to the busy tone for a few seconds before turning to look at the man on the bed. "Mr. Coyle can't come over tonight," she said.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1283- Take Care Of Luke

"Mm." Luke turned a page, then put the paper aside, saying, "Stay here tonight."

Luca was not sure how to react.

"Do you have something else to do?" Luke asked.

Luca initially planned to go to the address Paul gave her to see if she could find that person. However, she could not say no to Luke since he had asked.

She rubbed her hands and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you on my own. Should I hire a male nurse for you?" "No, it's nothing serious. You wouldn’t have to do much," Luke said.

Luca understood what he meant and knew that she could not leave. He made it clear that he wanted her with him.

She had no choice but to agree. "I understand, Mr. Crawford." "Bring me a wheelchair." Luke immediately started ordering her around.

Luca nodded, walked out of the ward, and asked the nurse for a wheelchair. She then pushed it into the ward.

Upon seeing this, Luke continued to give her orders. "Help me into the wheelchair."

Luca nodded. After being told so, she silently pushed the wheelchair to the bedside.

Luke's legs were already off the bed but they did not touch the floor. He needed her help.

Luca stretched out her hand, supported his arm, and said, "Move slowly. If anything goes wrong, lean against me immediately." "Keep it steady." Luke felt dizzy the moment his foot touched the floor. The

snake venom was intense. Even after most of it had been cleared, it still had a significant effect on him.

He could not help but lean on Luca.

Luca felt that his footsteps were unstable and immediately supported his waist, allowing him to make use of her strength to move in small steps. When he reached the wheelchair, she said, "Mr. Crawford, sit down."

Hearing this, Luke bent his legs and sat in the wheelchair.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief. After training for a few years, she had gained strength. She would not feel a thing even if she had to carry Luke on her back. However, she did not want to show her full ability in front of him.

It would be strange for a woman to carry a man who was 180cm tall on her back.

Luca looked at Luke, who was in the wheelchair, and asked in a soft voice," How do you feel?"

He felt dizzy the moment he sat down. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said, "I’m fine. Bring me to the bathroom."

Luca carefully buckled the protective belt for him and pushed the wheelchair toward the bathroom.

Tommy asked, "Dad, what are you doing?" "I'm going to take a shower," Luke said. "Stay here obediently and don’t run around." "Okay, Dad." Tommy nodded, indicating that he would not run around. "I'll be here obediently. I won't go anywhere."

Luke nodded and looked up at Luca. He did not feel weird looking up at her from this angle.

The media often praised celebrities for having no bad angles. Luke thought that Luca had no bad angles too.

Luca noticed his gaze and her hands trembled slightly. She pretended not to care and pushed him into the bathroom.

She did not think too much about staying the night to take care of Luke. However, her nightmare came true. She had to bathe Luke and assist him to the toilet...

"Mr. Crawford, can you do it yourself?" she asked while looking in the mirror.

"I can't even stand, do you think I can do it myself?" Luke asked her.

Luca sighed in her heart. She had no choice but to help him bathe...

If she were still Bianca, it would not be a problem to do so. After all, it was normal between husband and wife.

However, she was no longer Bianca. She was Luca. It was inappropriate for her to bathe him.

Luca acted calm and said, "You can't take a bath with your current situation. You can only wipe your body." "Okay, please wipe my body," Luke said.

Luca nodded and noticed that there were already a few towels around and some pails in the corner. Luca thought that Jason must have prepared them earlier. Luke was obsessed with cleanliness. The towels for washing his face could not be the same as the towels he used for bathing, and the towel used to wipe his feet could not be the same as the other two towels.

It was the same with the pails as well.

She asked, "Which towel is used for your body?"

Luke glanced at her and said, "The one in blue."

Luca picked up the towel and consciously picked up the blue water basin. She then tested the water temperature before filling the pail with water.

Luke watched her movements and raised his eyebrows slightly. She only asked about the towel, but not about the pail.

'How did she know that the blue pail was for the body too?”

He had a habit. Since he had a towel for each part of his body, the color of the pails must be the same as the color of the towels so that there was no confusion.

After Luca filled the water, she looked at Luke again and found that he was looking at her.

Suddenly, she realized that she should have waited a while before taking the pail. She did not even ask him...

"Mr. Crawford, why are you looking at me like this? Is it the wrong pail?" Luca hid her panic and asked.

Luke shook his head. She did not make a mistake. She chose the right pail.

"You seem to know me well," he said.

"Of course not..." Luca hung up the shower head, then put the pail beside him.

"If you don’t know me well, why did you go with the blue pail?" Luke said. Not many people knew about his personal habits.

'Did she just happen to pick it up? How can there be so many coincidences?

"I thought that the color of your towel would be the same as the color of the pail, so I picked up the blue pail. It’s not sufficient evidence to say that I understand you well," Luca explained.

Even if he knew that there was no evidence to support him, Luke asked, "Is that so?" "Of course. I just happened to go with what you were thinking about. Even if I had the intention to find out more about you, how could I find out about details as such? How can this be used as evidence of me knowing you well?" Luca looked down and sighed silently, thinking that she was being careless.

Luke nodded.

Seeing that he did not continue to pursue the matter, Luca asked, "Mr.

Crawford, do you want me to put on a pair of gloves?"

It was inconvenient for him to wring the towel, but since Luke was obsessed with cleanliness, she had to be more cautious.

Luke looked at her fingers. He found that she did not leave her nails long and kept them clean. He shook his head and said, "You don't need to wear gloves." "Okay.” Luca nodded. She had already planned to put on gloves but did not expect Luke to turn her down.

She knelt down, soaked the towel in the water, and wrung it dry. She looked at Luke and was stunned.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1284- I Won't Allow You To Bully Ms. Luca

When she wrung the towel, Luke had already undressed from his patient gown and revealed his strong upper body.

Luca looked away slightly and stopped looking him in the eye.

Luke had a wonderful physique. She had always wondered how a man who was busy with work could maintain such a physique.

'I don't think he has the time to exercise...’

Unexpectedly, three years later, his physique was still great. Luca did not understand how he managed it.

At a glance, she remembered the feeling of their bodies coming into contact for the very first time. It was as if there was an electric current gliding through every inch of her skin, making her body weak.

Luke put his clothes aside, took the towel she handed over, and started wiping his body.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that he did not ask her to help him with that.

Luke raised his gaze and noticed the blush on her face.

'Is she shy?'

He lowered his head and glanced at his body. As a man, he had always been confident about his body. After a few seconds, Luca still refused to look at him so Luke said, "When are you planning to stop turning your face to the side?"" "Um..." Luca's face flushed even more and her hands trembled. She felt as though he was deliberately teasing her.

Luke handed the towel to her and said, "Wash it, please."

Luca took it, squatted, and washed the towel. She then wrung it dry and handed it to him, still not looking at him.

As Luke wiped his body, he said, "You went to the police station today.

What did you find out?"

Luca was startled. 'Did he send someone to keep watch at the police station?’

If they were in A City, she believed that he was capable of doing so but was surprised to find out that he had forces abroad as well...

"You sent someone to follow me?" Luca asked. Her voice was neither sad nor happy. She hid all the fluctuations she felt in her heart.

"When you got to the police station, my lawyer happened to be there," Luke said while rubbing the same inch of skin back and forth several times.

Luca listened to his explanation and uncovered his lie calmly. "Your lawyer doesn't know me." "He has been following up on Paul and William. He’s well-known in the local area. As long as he asks around, it'll take him less than seconds to find out who you are." Luke's reply was foolproof. He was prepared with excuses to handle all her questions.

Luca listened to him. Although she was suspicious, there was no way to refute.

Luke handed the towel to her and asked, "You saw Paul alone. What did you find out?" "I asked him where he bought the snake venom." Luca looked down and handed him the wrung towel.

"What are you going to do with it?" Luke continued to wipe his body.

"I was just curious. That snake venom is very rare. I want to buy some and use it for my detox pill," Luca replied. He had an excuse, and she happened to have one too.

Luke nodded and kept quiet as he handed her the towel.

They went back and forth like that for a while. After he cleaned his upper body, Luca had changed two pails of water and wrung the towel several times.

She knew what he was going to do next. She silently poured the dirty water away but did not continue to fill the pail.

"White pail," Luke said.

Luca nodded, took the white pail and the white towel before filling the pail with warm water.

Before she could say anything, Luke said, "Get out, please."

Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she heard his words. She wanted to leave but was worried that he would get dizzy when standing...

When she thought of that, she hesitated and asked, "Mr. Crawford, can you do it alone?" "Do you want to help me?" Luke's cold gaze showed a trace of playfulness.

Luca's face turned redder like the sunset glow in the sky when the bright red sun was setting. She shook her head quickly and said, "I'll go outside and wait. When you're done, just call out to me."

After she said that, she hurried out of the bathroom and closed the door.

Tommy was sitting on the sofa. He saw that her face was bright red and asked curiously, "Ms. Luca, are you feeling okay? Why are you blushing?"

Luca touched her cheek with the back of her hand and found that it was a little warm.

She shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

Tommy jumped off the sofa and walked to her side. "Ms. Luca, are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor? You look like you have a fever."

"I'm fine. Thank you, Tommy." Luca shook her head. "It’s just a little stuffy inside." "Ah..." Tommy glanced at the closed door and asked, "Why is Daddy still inside?" "He's still taking a shower," Luca said while subconsciously listening to the movements inside. She was not worried as she did not hear any loud sounds coming from the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, Luke said, "Come in."

Luca opened the door and walked in. She found that he had changed into a new set of patient clothes. He looked neat.

She walked in, walked out with him in the wheelchair, and then helped him onto the bed.

After he was lying on the bed again, Luca walked into the bathroom and cleaned everything up. She then left the ward with the wheelchair, intending to return it to the nurse's station.

Tommy was standing by the hospital bed, looking at Luke eagerly.

"Is there something on my face?" Luke asked with his eyebrows raised as he looked at his son's gaze.

"Daddy, how did it feel to have Ms. Luca help you shower?" Tommy asked with a grin. "I feel so happy for you. I want Ms. Luca to help me too." "Happy?" Luke raised his eyebrows and thought of what had happened.

She had blushed like a rose when she saw his upper body...

Luke suddenly thought of Bianca. When she was shy, she would blush like that too...

"Yeah, are you happy?" Tommy blinked. He loved Luca from the bottom of his heart.

Luke looked at the joy in the child's eyes. If there was no fake Bianca, Tommy might have gotten him involved with Luca...

Luke's heart skipped a beat when he thought about the similarities between Bianca and Luca.

When he was in the bathroom earlier, he teased her. He used to occasionally tease Bianca like that. He treated everyone else sternly.

He felt a sense of accomplishment seeing her blush because of his teasing.

When Luke did not answer, Tommy climbed onto the bed and looked at him face to face. "Daddy, I won't allow you to bully Ms. Luca."

Luke raised an eyebrow.

'Bully Luca? I never thought about it. All I want is to... tease her.’

Luca returned to the ward and saw them sitting face to face. She asked in

confusion, "What's the matter?"

"Ms. Luca, Daddy is ignoring me." Tommy crossed his hands in front of his chest and looked like a small adult. He got out of bed after staring at Luke for a few more seconds.

Luca looked at them suspiciously, then heard Luke say, "I want some water.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1285- What Are You Planning To Do With The One In A City?

"Okay," Luca nodded, filled a glass of warm water, and handed it to him.

Luke held the plastic cup and sipped mouthfuls.

Luca watched him drink the water and sighed in her heart. With such a plain cup and such a simple action, he made the ordinary action elegant.

Tommy tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Ms. Luca, I want to drink water too." "Okay." Luca was not impatient. She turned around to pour him a glass of water, handed it over, and said gently, "Be careful."

Tommy nodded and glanced at his Daddy triumphantly. He was happy that she cared more about him because she talked to him after passing him the water.

After he finished drinking water, Luca put the cup away and sat on the sofa to read children's books.

Luke also picked up the file and dealt with work.

Seeing that they had stopped talking, Tommy quietly sat down on the sofa to continue reading.

It was already eight at night when Johann appeared in the hospital. He was a little surprised to see Luca there. "Dr. Craw, I’m surprised to see you here.

Luca nodded and greeted him, "Dr. Park, hello." "Just call me Johann, don't be a stranger," Johann said with a grin. He came to see how Luke was doing and did not expect to bump into Luca.

Luca nodded without a second thought. She felt like he was just being polite.

Luke thought that the two seemed to know each other and remembered that Johann personally sent her to the seminar that day. His mood turned dark. After what had happened earlier, the two seemed to have gotten closer.

Johann's gaze fell on the person on the bed again as he asked, "How do you feel?" "I'm okay." Luke's voice was deep.

Johann raised his eyebrows and thought that Luke looked unhappy.

However, he did not think that he was the reason for his sullen mood since he just got to the hospital. "What's the matter with you? Is the result of the report not good?"

Luke did not make a sound as he turned the page.

Johann said, "You’re a workaholic. You're in bed but you’re still looking at documents. Where’s your report? I want to have a look."

Luke's gaze fell on Luca. She stood up, took out the report from the drawer, and said, "Dr. Park, this is the report."

Johann looked at it and raised his eyebrows. He said, "Not bad. The toxins in the blood are all cleared up. You'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow. I don't understand... How could it be so fast? It can’t be that you have an evolved immune system?"

Tommy said, "It's Ms. Luca's medicine."

Johann suddenly realized that Luca's medicine might be working. He smiled and said, "Dr. Craw, your medicine is so powerful. Can you show me the formula?" "I’m not comfortable with that." Luca refused without a second thought.

The medicines she researched were all based on Shanks' prescriptions, not hers. She was unwilling to share it lest others have doubts.

"I won't make it public, and of course, I won't develop it," Johann said.

Luca shook her head and said, "This medicine is flawed. The snake venom works poorly for cases where the toxin accumulates, like Mrs. Norman's case. I plan to put more time into the research. We can talk about it when the study is a success."

Seeing that she was insistent on her refusal, Johann did not continue to ask for it. Instead, he looked at Luke, who still had a stern face.

He said, "Have you taken a bath? Do you want me to help you?" "No.” Luke turned him down immediately.

Tommy said, "Ms. Luca has showered Daddy. Uncle Park, you’re too late."

Luca listened to what Tommy said and closed her eyes. 'Why did he say that...’

"I’m glad that someone was able to help you. I was worried that you would get out of bed and fall if you insisted on taking a shower yourself." Johann smiled and glanced at Luca. He then looked at Luke, his witty gaze full of suggestions.

He knew that the Bianca in A City was a fake. After so many years, he was unsure if the real Bianca was alive or dead. Sooner or later, Luke would kick the fake Bianca out. It was not a bad thing for him to have another woman by his side after that.

Luca was great. She was beautiful, knowledgeable, and had a good temperament.

The important thing was that Luke's children seemed to like her very much.

Tommy listened to them and tugged on Luca's sleeve again. He said, "Ms.

Luca, I want to take a bath too."

Luca nodded. Just as she was thinking of helping him adjust the water temperature, she remembered that Tommy did not have a change of clothes. "Did Mr. Doyle bring you some clothes?"

Tommy shook his head.

"Then, what are you going to change into..." Luca felt helpless. Tommy's habits were like Luke's. He prioritized cleanliness as well.

Johann immediately gave her an idea. "Dr. Craw, there’s a mall next to the hospital. They sell children’s clothes."

Luca nodded and looked at Luke. 'Will it be okay for me to leave him by himself in this state?'

Johann noticed her concern and said, "Don't worry, I’ll stay here for a while.

You can take Tommy to buy clothes." "Okay." Luca took Tommy's hand and was about to leave when Luke said," Wait a minute."

She looked at the man on the hospital bed.

Luke said, "Open the drawer."

Luca walked over and opened the drawer.

"I have a credit card in my wallet. You don’t need a pin. Take it."

Luca understood and nodded. She found his wallet, opened it, and was stunned.

In his wallet, there was a wedding photo of her and Luke...

Luca lowered her gaze to conceal her awkwardness. She immediately took out the credit card, put the wallet back in the drawer, and asked, "Mr. Crawford, do you want any fruit?" "No," Luke said.

Luca nodded, took Tommy's hand, and left the ward.

Her steps were a little hurried as if she was running away. Johann noticed it and looked at the man on the hospital bed, asking, "What's in your wallet? Why does Dr. Craw look so weird?" "Photo," Luke said.

"Photo? What photo?" Johann was curious.

"My wedding photo with Bea," Luke replied.

Johann snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Well, that makes sense.

No wonder Dr. Craw looked weird."

Luke continued to look at his documents and ignored him.

Johann continued, "It's your photo that made her feel uncomfortable."

Luke kept quiet.

Johann was not deterred by the awkwardness. He muttered, "What are you planning to do with the one in A City?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1286- He Did Not Know Where His Bianca Was

Luke's mood turned sour when the fake Bianca was mentioned.

He thought about the past three years when the fake Bianca was planted next to him. Apart from feeling off, he did not have any doubts and even ignored Aunt Wanda's doubts.

He did not have a single doubt...

However, he did not know where his Bianca was...

Johann sat on the sofa and touched his chin, saying, "This is a tricky situation. Apart from this fake Bianca, the biggest problem now is how to find the real one..."

He stopped speaking.

So many things could happen in three years. Even if Luke could control the fake Bianca, it was hard to say whether the real Bianca was still alive.

Moreover, after the appearance of this fake, whoever was behind the scenes must have a firm grasp of the whole situation. Even if he knew the truth, Luke was stuck in a passive stance.

After all, after the fake Bianca appeared, the kidnapping was said to be done by human traffickers and there was no further investigation.

It would be difficult for them to investigate what had happened three years ago.

Luke closed the file. His eyes filled with densely packed waves of light that could burst out at any time. His hands were tightly clenched into tight fists. "I'll find her."

When Johann saw this, he nodded and said, "I've managed the hospital for you. She won't notice anything."

Luke nodded, paused for a few seconds, and opened the file again.

Johann continued talking, "One more thing. Whatever the fake Bianca is suffering from is nothing I’ve seen. The doctor sent me the reports and there are no issues with her. My suggestion is to stop the meds and do another inspection. What do you think?"

He was asking Luke for advice.

The fake Bianca could not die yet.

Luca had prescribed her an effective medicine. There was no recurrence of high fever. She would occasionally have a low fever but it was not a big problem.

However, it was not normal for her to be hospitalized for so long. Johann believed that something was wrong with her body. Otherwise, her body temperature would not be this abnormal.

However, if she continued taking medicine, it might cover up her real condition so he wondered whether to have Bianca stop taking the medicine to do a comprehensive examination. The examination had certain risks, so he wanted to get Luke's opinion.

"Her illness is strange, but the medicine Luca gave is also strange," Luke said.

Johann was stunned and said, "I've gotten someone to check the dregs of the medicine. The medicine is to improve blood circulation. There’s nothing abnormal about it."

Luke signed his name at the end of the document. When the nanny was preparing the medicine before this, he got someone to check the medicine dregs.

There were no issues with the prescription but it helped control Bianca's condition almost instantly.

This was what Luke thought was odd.

"Luca said Bianca should take it for a month. We'll see how she's doing after waiting for another month," Luke closed the processed document and took out another document.

Johann nodded. He did not say anything thinking that the fake Bianca was in a somewhat stable condition.

Luca took Tommy to the mall next door and bought some clothes. She then bought him some fruits and snacks.

They carried the bags and walked to the hospital.

Tommy took her hand and felt satisfied because they bought the snacks he wanted. He shook his head and said, "Ms. Luca, if Daddy bullies you in the future, you must tell me. I'll help you."

Seeing Tommy clenching his fist and trying to stand up for her, Luca shook his hand and asked, "How will you help me?"

Tommy tilted his head and thought about it. "Although Daddy looks cold, he loves me the most. If I ignore him, he'll regret his actions." "He loves you the most?" Luca asked while they waited in front of the elevator.

"Yes, although he also loves Lanie and Rainie, it's me he loves the most because I'm his youngest son. Lanie and Rainie also love me, so I'm the most favored in the family," Tommy said proudly with his arms on his waist.

Luca smiled softly. She thought about the past. Luke was missing when he was born, so she had devoted the most attention to Tommy, who meant a lot to her.

Unexpectedly, it was the same for Luke.

When the two returned to the ward, Johann stood up and said to her, "I just talked to the attending doctor. Luke can get out of bed tomorrow and be discharged after a simple check-up." "Okay," Luca nodded, put the things she bought on the coffee table next to the sofa, and silently put his credit card back in his wallet.

She mentally prepared herself and did not show any expression when she saw their wedding photo again. After she put the credit card back in his wallet, she calmly put it back in the drawer.

Johann looked at her, deep in thought. The conversation with Luke made him even more curious about her.

'Luca... What kind of person is she?'

When everyone was struggling with the fake Bianca's illness, Luca easily stabilized her condition.

He was impressed with her acupuncture skills.

Luca noticed that Johann kept looking at her and asked curiously, "Dr.

Park, is there anything on my face?"

Luke heard the words and looked at him.

Johann smiled awkwardly and retracted his gaze. He said, "No, I have to trouble you to take care of him tonight. I have something to do, bye."

With that, he left the ward.

Luca glanced at Luke, who was also looking at her.

"I passed by a fruit shop and the fruits looked fresh. I bought some, Mr. Crawford. Would you like to have them?" she asked, lifting her bag with her gaze down.

"No," Luke said.

"Ms. Luca, I want to eat an apple,” Tommy pouted.

Luca took an apple from the bag, walked into the bathroom, and washed the apple for him. She walked out and handed it to Tommy. "There's no knife here, you have to eat it with the skin on."

Tommy did not make a fuss. After he took it, he sat on the sofa obediently and nibbled on the apple.

Luca sat on the sofa beside him. She took out her phone and sent Jason a text to see if he could come over.

After a while, Jason replied to her. He had to work overtime at the office and could not go over.

The implication was that she had to be in the hospital to accompany Luke.

She put down the phone and felt Luke's gaze on her from time to time. She pretended to be calm, picked up the children's book that she had not finished, and continued reading.

After Tommy finished eating the apple, he picked up a storybook and sat close to her while reading.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1287- He Felt Warm And Nostalgic

Luke watched them sitting there quietly reading their books and suddenly had a thought. ‘Peace is a blessing.’

They were not blood-related but they could be as affectionate as a mother and child. He felt warm and nostalgic.

At ten o'clock, Tommy yawned loudly.

Luca glanced at the time and smiled softly. Tommy's yawn was always punctual. She lowered her head and looked at the child tenderly, then asked in a soft voice, "Sleepy?"

Tommy nodded to indicate that he was sleepy.

"Go, take a shower before you sleep," Luca said as she picked up the newly bought clothes and held his hand again.

Tommy obediently walked into the bathroom with her.

After Luke watched Luca close the bathroom door, he pressed the bell.

"Sir, are you alright?" the nurse walked in and asked politely. Johann specially told her that he must take good care of him, so the nurse was especially concerned.

"Please get me a blanket," Luke said.

"Okay. Is the air conditioner too cold?" the nurse asked.

"It's for my child," Luke replied.

"Okay, I'll get it for you now." The nurse immediately walked out of the ward and brought him a blanket. "Should I place it on the sofa?" "Yeah." Luke nodded.

"I assume that your wife and child will accompany you tonight? Is this sofa big enough forthem? If necessary, we can add a chair," the nurse said.

"Okay." Luke remembered that when he woke up this morning, Luca was curled up on the sofa. If she moved a little, she would have fallen to the floor. Even so, she still gave Tommy enough space to sleep.

The nurse moved quickly and arranged for someone to put an accompanying chair in the ward. She also grabbed another blanket.

After Luca helped Tommy bathe, she saw an accompanying chair and two blankets in the ward.

"This..." She glanced at Luke and asked, "This is what you ordered the nurse to prepare?" "The nurse knew that someone would be staying the night and arranged for it." Luke looked at her. His deep-set eyes did not reveal much emotion. He concealed the fact that he was the one who asked the nurse to prepare these things.

He felt uncomfortable seeing Luca curled up on the sofa this morning. Besides being uncomfortable, he felt an inexplicable surge of warmth in his heart.

She listened and nodded. She was glad that the nurse was kind enough to do so. She then returned to the bathroom with a bag.

Luca packed the clothes that Tommy had changed out of and planned to take them back to the hotel to have them cleaned. She then walked out with the bag.

Tommy was beside her and he yawned again. "Ms. Luca, I'm sleepy."

Luca put the bag away, touched his head, and asked, "Then, do you want to sleep in the chair or the sofa?"

Tommy glanced at the sofa, then at the chair. He pointed to the sofa and said, "I'm young, I'll sleep on the sofa. Ms. Luca, it’s uncomfortable for you to curl up on the sofa."

The corners of Luca's lips rose a little when she heard how considerate Tommy was.

The sofa in the ward was small and only suitable for sitting. She had to curl her legs when she lay down, which was very uncomfortable.

She unfolded the blanket. After Tommy took off his shoes and lay down, she helped tuck him in. She then pushed the coffee table over.

"What are you doing?" Luke was puzzled when he saw her.

Luca explained, "It's not safe to let him sleep on the sofa. If he wakes up in the middle of the night, he can easily fall off the sofa.”

As she spoke, she pushed the small coffee table aside, then moved the escort chair to the side of the sofa. She unfolded and flattened the handle near the sofa.

Luke watched her and was happy that this arrangement meant that Tommy would not fall off the sofa even if he woke up at night. It was good to have Luca by his side.

She was very thoughtful.

Tommy lay on the sofa, smiling as he said, "Ms. Luca, good night. Daddy, good night." "Good night." "Good night."

The two said in unison. Luca sat in the escort chair and was taken aback. They always did the same when they coaxed Tommy to sleep before she went missing.

She looked at the hospital bed and noticed that Luke was still focused on dealing with his documents. It was almost 11 o'clock and the corridors of the hospital became quiet.

Luca thought for a while and said, "Mr. Crawford, you should resume your work tomorrow. What you need now is rest."

Luke glanced at the time and nodded without saying anything. He lowered the hospital bed, put down the files, and slowly lay down.

Seeing this, Luca got out of the escort chair barefoot and walked to the light switch. She turned the lights off.

When Luke saw her feet, his body became inexplicably warm. With a click, the lights were switched off. The room was instantly dark, and there was nothing to see.

In the dark, Luca did not feel uncomfortable as she quickly walked to the side of the chair. The surrounding darkness seemed to not affect her vision.

She lay down slowly, turned her back to the hospital bed, and gently placed one hand on the sofa. She remembered that Tommy would feel insecure when sleeping in an unfamiliar environment, so she did this to help him sleep more peacefully.

Last night, Luca did not get any sleep. Luca gradually closed her eyes listening to the sounds of Luke and Tommy’s breathing. She could still smell the disinfectant but it was mixed with Tommy's scent. It made her feel more at ease. After a while, she fell deeply asleep.

In the middle of the night, a small sound surprised Luca. She opened her eyes subconsciously and sat up, only to find that the light was turned on.

She looked at the bed and found that Luke had turned on the bedside lamp. His legs were hanging off the bed as if he was about to get up.

"Lu..." Luca was stunned when she opened her mouth. She closed her mouth abruptly after only uttering a word.

She was confused and almost called him Luke.

Luke heard her and looked calm, waiting for her to speak.

Luca's heart beat faster. Her subconsciousness made her seem off. After clearing her throat, she said, "Mr. Crawford, what's wrong?" "I want to go to the toilet," Luke said. He had an urge to go and wanted to slowly get out of bed. He tried his best not to disturb her, but unexpectedly, she woke up after only a small sound.

She was a light sleeper, just like him.

Luca immediately stood up and said softly, "I'll get a wheelchair." "No, I want to walk," Luke said. He had gotten many hours of rest and thought that his condition would have improved compared to the day before.

Luca glanced at the time and thought that he should be able to get out of bed by now. However, she felt uneasy so she said, "I’ll help you."

Luke did not refuse her help and just nodded.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1288- An Intimate Distance

Luca walked over to the bed and bent over slightly.

Luke extended his arm and put it around her shoulder while his other arm held onto the cabinet beside the bed. He managed to get down from the bed.

They were so close to each other right now. Luca did not dare to look at the expression on his face. Instead, she looked down at the floor and asked, "How are you feeling?" "I'm fine," replied Luke. He felt a little dizzy when his feet touched the floor but he felt fine when he managed to stabilize himself. Everything felt fine except for the fact that his feet were still a little weak.

"Let’s try walking a few steps. Don't force yourself, though." Luca felt his warm breath on her scalp when he spoke to her. She could not stop her face from turning red.

Luke replied with an, "Mm." He then tried taking his first steps.

Luca tried to keep up with him while paying close attention to his breathing. At that moment, she could hear that his breathing was peaceful, so she said nothing and helped him to the bathroom.

After setting him down on the toilet seat, she said to him, "Sit here."

Luke nodded in response.

Luca helped him sit down and then said, "I'll be waiting for you outside.

Just call me when you're done."

After that, she quickly left the bathroom and closed the door.

Luca leaned her back against the wall and took a deep breath. It was just a short journey to the bathroom but she was sweating all over her back and her heart pounded uncontrollably.

When she was helping him walk, she could feel that he was looking downward. His warm breath was sprayed over her scalp. She could not be sure if he was doing that on purpose or not.

The distance between them was intimately close earlier, and she almost could not handle that feeling. Everything that she experienced just now felt deliberate when in reality, it was not.

Luca leaned against the wall as she looked up at the ceiling, fanning her face with one hand. She hoped that it might disperse the heat a little quicker.

After a while, she heard flushing noises from the bathroom. Just as she hesitated to go in, the door opened from the inside.

Luke held the door with one hand while supporting himself on the wall with the other as he walked out.

Luca quickly grabbed his arm. "Are you alright, Mr. Crawford?"

She did not expect him to walk out just like that.

"I'm fine," he replied. He let her help him back to bed.

Luca helped him up onto the bed before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke looked at her and asked, "Were you calling my name when you woke up?"

Luca was stunned. She had dreamed of something when she was sleeping earlier. Something about the past. When she woke up, she could not tell if she was still dreaming or not. That was why she did that.

She shook her head and replied, "I don’t think so. You must have misheard me, Mr. Crawford."

Luke was sure that he heard it right, but since she did not want to address the issue, he would not press her further either. He was only taking a gander. He said, "It’s getting late, let’s get some sleep." "Mm," replied Luca as she turned and walked back to her chair.

Even with her back turned toward him, she could feel his gaze on her back.

She pretended as if nothing was going on and pulled the covers on Tommy before lying down, her back still turned toward the patient on the bed.

She then heard a slight rustle on the other bed. She knew that Luke had already gone back to bed.

Luca closed her eyes and touched her face. She had gotten red-faced one too many times today...

Could Luke see what was happening to her face with that lamp on...

Jason was still in his office. He set an alarm to remind himself to give Sue a video call.

After the call went through, Kari and Teri’s faces showed up on the screen.

Jason smiled as he spoke to the sisters for a while before Sue appeared.

Sue looked at the background behind him and asked, "Are you still in the office?" "Mm." Jason looked at her lovingly through the screen, but he still missed her.

Sue retorted, "How long are you working overtime for? Luke is so cruel making you work like this. Don't tell me you're the only one working overtime?” "No, I just worked until ten o'clock today. But I feel a little lazy to go back to the hotel, so I'm spending the night in the office," Jason explained.

"Are you stupid or what? You have a hotel to stay in but you want to sleep in the office? Is the office table more comfortable to sleep on?" Sue rolled her eyes at him as she chided him in disdain, but Jason knew that she was simply concerned about him.

"The office is closer to the hospital, so it’ll be easier for me to go there tomorrow," Jason explained. Luke mentioned that he should be able to get discharged by tomorrow, so he might as well sleep in the office since he was working until ten o'clock that night. Besides, he would not be in a rush when he went over to the hospital tomorrow.

"Hospital? Are you not feeling well?" Sue immediately wanted to take a good look at him, so she brought her face closer to the screen.

"Not me but my boss." Jason then told her everything about Luke getting bit by a snake. 3

Sue was relieved after she heard his story. She did not have the mood to care about what had happened to Luke as long as Jason was fine. She then said, "That's really unfortunate for Luke, but since you're in the office, surely someone is taking care of him in the hospital?" "Dr. Craw is taking care of him," Jason told her the truth.

"Dr. Craw? The one who showed up in the news with Luke?" Sue’s voice was raised a few pitches higher.

Jason nodded.

Sue continued, "You're a fool, Jason. How could you let them be together all alone? This is a scandal on a timer. You're so careless. If anything happens between them, what about Bianca?"

Sue did not know Bianca all that well, but she still defended her.

"The boss man wanted it himself, Sue. I'm just following orders." Jason could understand why Sue was so nervous. After all, she had a good relationship with Bianca before she lost her memory.

"You’re just following orders. That woman is so pretty, I don’t believe she doesn't have other intentions in mind..." Sue muttered.

Jason thought about it for a moment. If anyone were to have those kinds of intentions, then it would be Luke.

After all, Luca always seemed to avoid Luke every time Jason saw her around.

On the other hand, Luke had no intentions to avoid her. Instead, he wanted to get close to her... Otherwise, he would not have made this arrangement.

Sue noticed Jason's silence and then told him, "You still have a week before you come home, right? You have to keep an eye on her. Don't give her any chances. Understand?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1289-Like A Mother Looking At Their Own Child.

Jason wanted to speak up for Luke, but Sue might think he had sold his soul to Luke.

Hence, he had no other choice but to nod and reiterate, "I got it. I'll keep an eye on him. By the way, don't tell anyone else about this. I don't think he wants the Crawford family to know just yet." "Alright. Even though I feel bad for Bianca, I won't tell anyone since you said so," replied Sue. She then looked at the time and urged Jason to sleep. "It's getting late, you should get some rest. Goodbye." "Alright, wait for me," Jason said as she looked at her affectionately.

Sue knew if she did not hang up there and then, he would not either. Hence, she did.

She then looked over to the sisters who were attentively drawing at the other side of the room. She mused for a moment and decided to give Bianca a call.

They drifted further and further apart from each other after Bianca lost her memory.

Sue understood why Bianca did not want to interact with her, so that was why she avoided disturbing her and asking her how she was. However, she could not help herself any longer now.

She held her breath, and after a few seconds, the call went through.

"Hello." Bianca's voice came through the speaker.

Sue said to her, "Bea, it’s me, Sue."

Bianca was stunned when she heard Sue’s voice from the other end of the call. After she pretended to lose her memory, she deliberately distanced herself from Sue and never contacted her. She did not expect a phone call from her.

She asked, "Is anything the matter?"

Sue noticed the coldness in Bianca's voice and felt uncomfortable. She reminisced about the times when the three of them did business together, but now they felt like complete strangers. Bianca did not even say hello, and that made her sad.

Bianca heard nothing from the other side of the line, so she looked at her phone and asked again, "Is anything the matter?" "Oh, it's nothing. Jason said that you're sick and you're in the hospital right now, so I called to ask how you're doing. How are you feeling?" Sue snapped back to her senses. Her voice was neutral but courteous.

"I'm fine," Bianca replied, feeling quite baffled by the sudden question.

Did Sue call just so she could curry favor with her? Jason was Sue's boyfriend, and he was Luke's subordinate, so it would be quite natural for her to do so.

However, that seemed a little too late, right?

Sue then replied, 'That's good, then. By the way, Mr. Crawford brought Jason on a business trip, so I wanted to ask if he has contacted you?"

Bianca knew for a fact that Jason and Sue had some issues. They had daughters together but were not married. It was natural for her not to contact Jason but look for Bianca instead. "No, I think Luke’s really busy, so he didn't call." "Oh, I see. That’s all, then." Sue heard the coldness in Bianca’s voice and decided not to tell her anything.

She felt bad for her, but she felt very uneasy about Bianca's arrogant attitude.

Sue then hung up the call.

After Bianca heard the beeping tone, she suddenly remembered that Luke had not bothered to give her a call these couple of days. He did not even ask her how she was doing.

He did not notify her after arriving at his destination either.

Bianca had not called him as well because she was feeling unwell...

Maybe he was too busy, that was why he forgot...

Bianca looked at the time in America and thought of giving him a call when it was daytime over there. After all, she had to keep on pretending.

After that night.

Luke woke up and noticed that Luca was already awake. She had her back turned toward him as she was looking at Tommy.

He felt that she really liked Tommy. There was some sort of motherly love in her eyes whenever she looked at Tommy. It was like a mother looking at their own child.

Something moved Luke's heartstrings. He sat up.

Luca noticed some movements behind her and looked back, "Mr.

Crawford, you're awake."

The way she addressed him reminded him of last night. Even if she did not admit it, he was sure that she had called him by his name...

It seemed very natural when she did that as if they were not strangers at all.

He nodded and replied, "Mm.”

Luca stood up, folded the blanket and the chair, then looked at the patient on the bed. "Do you want to try standing up?”

He was able to walk last night, so he should be able to stand up on his own today.

Luke nodded, pulled the covers away, and swung his legs to the side of the bed.

Luca held her breath as she watched him. She did not step forward.

Luke slowly got down from the bed, straightened his body, and walked a couple of steps. He felt much better than last night. He was not dizzy anymore and his legs had some strength in them.

"How are you feeling?” A look of concern flashed across Luca’s eyes.

"I'm feeling better now," said Luke.

Luca's lips curled upward slightly when she heard that. 'That’s good."

Tommy sat up and looked at them with sleepy eyes. He was delighted when he saw his father get down from the bed. "Daddy, you can get up already."

Luke nodded.

Tommy pulled off the covers and jumped off the sofa. "Are you feeling unwell anywhere else? Don't try to hide it from me." "No, I feel good," replied Luke as he caressed his child. Even though Tommy had not cried these couple of days, Luke knew that he was worried about him.

'That's great! Daddy's fine, Ms. Luca. Daddy's healthy again!" Tommy clapped in excitement when he saw his father standing on his own two feet.

Luca smiled and caressed his head. He seemed to be the happiest about Luke being healthy again.

She was envious of Tommy. When Luke was injured and when he was recovering, Tommy could at least show his concern, sadness, and happiness.

Unlike her, she could only keep those feelings to herself. She could not let others notice anything amiss about her, let alone show her true feelings.

That was because she was Luke's subordinate right now. She would be crossing the line if she did anything more than what was appropriate.

The nurse walked in, saying that she wanted to take a blood sample and check on Luke's condition again.

Luca then brought Tommy to the bathroom to wash up. After they were done, the nurse had already left the room with the blood sample.

Tommy walked toward his father and stared at him. "Daddy, I dreamt of you recovering last night and it came true today. That's just great!"

Luke caressed his hair. The kid was overjoyed, and Luke's heart warmed at the sight of him. He stood up and said, "I’ll go and wash up."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1290- When Did Boss Become This Negotiable

Luca nodded and then asked, "Mr. Crawford, what do you want to have for breakfast?” "Anything will do. Bring Tommy along with you too. Buy something he actually likes to eat," replied Luke.

Luca nodded in response and brought Tommy out of the ward.

After Luke walked into the bathroom to wash up, his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw that it was Bianca calling.

After he knew that the Bianca in A City was a fake, he decided to remove everything that he had customized for her-including ringtones and wallpapers.

He had no reason to do all that for a fake woman.

Luke answered the call and spoke coldly, "It's late. You're still not asleep?"

His words were showing concern for her, yet they were spoken in a cold tone. That surprised her, but she still replied, "I'm about to sleep, but I miss you, so I decided to give you a call. Luke, I hope I'm not disturbing you?" "Not at all." Luke's tone remained ice-cold. He left the bathroom, sat on the sofa, and waited for her reply.

'That's good, then. You didn’t even call me when you arrived in America, so I guessed you might be really busy. That's why I didn’t want to bother you. By the way, when are you coming back? I really miss you," Bianca replied with such affection despite being given the cold shoulder.

She was used to his coldness, but he might be a little more affectionate if she acted coy with him.

A sinister look flashed across Luke's eyes as he listened to her words. This woman must be hooked on the act that she had been putting on, right?

Luke replied, 'Til come back when I'm done with my work here.”

Bianca shuddered. She thought he might show a little more love for her if she acted coy, but it did not seem to be working. Instead, he acted even more indifferently. She continued, "I see, alright then. By the way, is Tommy there? I miss him too.” "He's having breakfast with Jason in the restaurant downstairs." Luke did not tell her anything about him being hospitalized, nor did he tell her about Tommy accompanying Luca.

"Oh." Bianca had thought out an entire script before she called him, thinking that she might be able to give their relationship a boost. Now, Luke's coldness stopped her in her tracks.

"It's my body's fault. Wouldn’t it be great if I had gone to America with you? But don't worry about me. I’m fine now. I feel better these past couple of days. The doctor said I can be discharged once my condition stabilizes." "Mm." Luke’s voice was still as cold as ever.

Bianca took a deep, cold breath as her heart chilled. "Alright, I’ll leave you alone now. Come back home once you're done with your work, okay? I miss you,” Bianca said.

"Mm," Luke replied emotionlessly and then hung up the phone.

Bianca felt that something was wrong. Luke's attitude toward her was even colder than before.

Why...

Bianca thought about it for a moment. She did not remember doing anything to make him act like this. It was probably because of work that he was so moody. That was the only explanation she had in her head.

After all, he always acted like that, being the workaholic he was. When he was focused on work, he would neither eat nor sleep until he got everything done.

As a result, he did not interact with his children all that much.

Bianca was relieved after she thought of that.

Luca brought Tommy to the restaurant downstairs and let him pick the food he liked.

Tommy looked at the variety of food, pouted, and asked, "Ms. Luca, American people eat these for breakfast?" "Mm, that's right." Luca ordered two sandwiches, a cup of coffee, and a cup of milk.

One of the sandwiches was meant for Luke while the other was hers. The cup of coffee was for her, while the milk was for him.

"How do American kids grow up if they eat this for breakfast?" Tommy complained. In the end, he ordered a sandwich and a glass of orange juice.

After getting their food, Luca brought Tommy back upstairs. When they walked into the ward, they noticed Jason and Johann already in the ward.

"Good morning, Mr. Doyle, Dr. Park," Luca greeted them.

"Good morning Uncle Jason and Uncle Park." Tommy followed suit.

Both of them nodded in response.

Johann said, "Your report is out. There’s no more poison in your blood. You can be discharged." "Mm." Luke sat on the sofa. Ever since he could walk, he was unwilling to sit on the bed. The thought of a simple blade hospitalizing him for a couple of days hurt his dignity. Thus, he did not want to even get close to the bed. He acted as if he had nothing to do with this ward that he stayed in.

He looked at the breakfast in Luca's hand and asked, "Is that for me?" "Yes," Luca replied as she set the food down in front of him.

"Why did you get me milk?” Luke stared at the milk with a frown on his face.

"With your current condition, it's better if you avoid coffee right now," said Luca. She knew that Luke did not necessarily need coffee anyway.

On usual days, he would stay up late working, so he needed coffee to keep him up. However, since he rested well yesterday, he would not need coffee even if he jumped straight back into work after getting discharged.

Luke raised his brow in silence and sipped on the glass of milk.

Jason gaped in surprise as he watched that happen. When did his boss become so negotiable? If it were him, he would have had to endure his boss' terrifying glare and then make him a cup of coffee.

However, one sentence from Luca and things turned out differently...

Johann looked at them, amused. He smiled and said to Jason, 'The police need the doctors' papers. I'll ask them to prepare the documents while you make arrangements for Luke to be discharged." "Alright." Jason nodded as he regained his composure and left the ward with Johann.

Tommy sat on the sofa and opened his breakfast.

Luca sat on the foldable chair and took out her breakfast as well.

Luke noticed the pack of juice in Tommy’s breakfast, so he took a sip of his milk and said, "I like juice better than milk."

Of course, Luca knew that he tolerated juice better than milk.

Luca wanted to tell him that this was processed juice, so drinking a glass or two would be fine. However, since he had just recovered, the juice would not be nutritious enough for him.

She thought about it but did not say anything in the end. Instead, she nodded, took a bite of her sandwich, and muttered, "Understood."

Luke said nothing more and finished the breakfast she brought him.
