Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1361-What Did She Do to Deserve This?

"Gale and Rain are back in A City, and they're interrogating the impostor. We should find out the truth behind her disguise soon," Luke said.

Percy nodded. To think that the woman by Luke's side for the past three years was an impostor, and the whereabouts of the real Bianca Rayne was still unknown! "Now that we know that the Island of Despair isn't wiped out, we shouldn't wait for them to attack. We've collaborated with the Russian government to wipe them out, and I'm sure that they're waiting to take their revenge on us. We should make arrangements to search for their base of operations now. We can't let them have the advantage over us."

Luke nodded. The Mallory family was also involved in the previous attack on the Island of Despair. If the new leader of the Island of Despair wanted to take revenge on those who had wronged him, the Mallory family would definitely be implicated too. Luke knew that they had to cooperate to fight against them. "I'll make arrangements on my side. In any case, you shouldn't let anyone else know about it."

"Don't worry. I know what to do." Percy nodded. Luke was right; they could not afford to alert the enemy.

At noon, Nina left the office and bumped into Sue.

"Are you going downstairs to have lunch, Nina? Shall we go together?" Sue smiled and said to Nina.

Nina shook her head. "I can't go to lunch with you. I have something else to do."

"Don't you plan to have lunch? Look at you now. You're all skin and bones. You ought to eat your meals." Sue thought that Nina was thinking of skipping lunch, so she wanted to force her to go and eat with her.

Nina was glad that Sue was concerned for her. She explained, "It's not like that, Sue. You've misunderstood. I have a date with someone else today, so I can't have lunch with you."

Sue nodded and gestured an "OK" sign. "I see, then it's fine. I won't disturb the two of you then. You ought to eat more today. You look better when you have some more muscle on your bones."

"Yes, yes. You don't have to worry about me. I won't make myself suffer," Nina said with a smile. The two of them went into the elevator and went downstairs.

They parted ways at the lobby. Nina went into the restaurant.

Usually, restaurants of that type would not have private rooms. However, this restaurant had private rooms for the convenience of the managers working in the office building.

Ruth O'Connor, Percy's mother, had reserved a private room.

The waitress led Nina to the private room, then closed the door behind her.

Nina could not help but keep her guard up when she saw the elegant woman in front of her. It was not her first time meeting Ruth, and she knew of her noble status. She sat down on a chair in front of Ruth and said carefully, "Good afternoon, Madam. How can I help you today?"

Ruth put the teacup in her hands away and glanced at Nina contemptuously.

People of Ruth's social class hated women like Nina. Nina understood that Ruth hated her, but she did not think that she did anything wrong. After all, Percy was the one who insisted that she stay by his side.

She looked at Ruth, unperturbed.

"I still have the same question for you, but it's not exactly the same this time. I'm arranging a marriage for Percy. The young lady is from the Johnston family, and she has just returned to A City after having graduated from an overseas university. She is beautiful, intelligent, and is from a prominent family, so she is the perfect match for Percy. Do you think that he'll like her?" Ruth said.

Nina shook her head. "I don't know. I'm not Percy."

"It doesn't matter if you know it, but we all know that you're not suitable for Percy. I know why you've been clinging to him, so here's a check for you. You should know what to do next, don't you?" Ruth said and took out a check from her handbag.

Nina's eyes widened slightly when she saw the figure on the check. She was aware of the Mallory family's wealth, but she was shocked by how much Ruth was willing to give her.

"Indeed, I'm not suitable for Percy, but I can't take your check either." She put the check on the table and pushed it over. She was not enticed by the figure.

It was not the first time that Ruth had given her a check. Every time, Nina had refused to accept it.

It was also the same this time.

Ruth's expression changed when Nina refused to accept the check. "What's the meaning of this? Do you think that you can stay by Percy's side just because you refuse to accept my offer? Let me tell you, you’d better stop dreaming. He only likes you now because you're young. Do you think that you can still be by his side in a few years?"

"I've never wanted to be by his side," Nina said candidly. She felt horrible for being humiliated twice in a single day.

"What do you want then? Do you want to be the matriarch of the Mallory family after I die? Let me tell you, stop

dreaming. Percy wouldn't want to marry you, and even if he would, his father and I wouldn't allow it," Ruth said.

"Madam, I've told you since the first time we met that I don't care about your money, and I'm powerless to leave Percy. What you can do is convince Percy to leave me. I've met Ms. Johnston before, and she's indeed an outstanding young woman. I have no doubt that she is the perfect match for Percy, and I hope that you can arrange the marriage so that Percy will leave me alone," Nina said earnestly.

It was not that she did not want to leave Percy, but Percy had never wanted her to leave him.

She had never thought of making money from the deal, and she did not want to be by Percy's side for the rest of her life.

All she wanted was to leave...

Ruth became even more displeased when she heard that.

Nina said that Percy did not want her to leave. To Ruth's ears, Nina's words were like a brazen taunt. She thought that Nina was saying that she was irreplaceable, and Percy's parents were helpless about it...

That made Ruth furious. She picked up the teacup and flung it toward Nina. "I've given you so many chances, yet you don't appreciate them. Alright then, you can't blame me for what I'll do to you!"

Instinctively, Nina raised her arm to block the incoming teacup. With a clang, the teacup struck her arm and fell on the floor.

The teacup was filled with boiling milk tea, and Ruth had only taken two sips out of it.

Nina could feel that her arm was stinging with pain. The tea must have scalded her...

"Very well. If you don't know what's good for you, I'll take the check back, and it won't be too long before Percy kicks you out of the mansion!" Ruth took the check, tore it into pieces, and left the room huffily.

The door slammed behind Nina. She let out a dry laugh as she looked at her forearm, which had turned red.

In a day, her elder brother and Percy's mother had humiliated her.

She began to wonder why she deserved to be treated that way. Was it mere bad luck, or was it karma?

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1362-She Changed Her Opinion About Luca

Nina looked at her forearm and began to smile. It was red and hurt a lot, but she did not cry.

The pain on her arm was nothing compared to the agony and depression that she had stored in her heart for the past few years. In fact, it made her feel alive.

The waitress opened the door to the private room and noticed that Nina was still sitting there. She asked, "Excuse me, Miss, may I take your order?"

Nina did not stand up. She spoke to the waitress without turning around. "Yes. Please give me the lunch set."

"Alright, coming right up," the waitress replied and closed the door. The noble woman had left earlier and paid the bill. She thought that the other woman would leave too, but instead, the woman ordered something to eat.

Nina remained motionless while sitting on the chair. When the waitress came into the room again with her food, she pointed at the mess on the floor. "I accidentally dropped this earlier. Please clean it up. If the cup is broken, add it to my bill, and I'll pay for it later."

The waitress looked at the mess on the floor and noticed that Nina's arm was red. She thought that it was not an accident.

In her mind, she had already made up a fantastical story. The young woman sitting in front of her must be the

mistress of the noble woman's husband. That made the waitress look at Nina with contempt.

However, the waitress did not say anything because she was still on the job. Instead, she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll clean it up later. Enjoy your meal, Miss."

The waitress left the room and closed the door after that.

Nina looked at the food in front of her and picked up a fork. She ate the food in big bites, seemingly unperturbed by the pain in her arm.

Even though she did not feel hungry at all, she finished half of the plate. Then, she took the napkin and elegantly cleaned her mouth.

While she ate, the waitress did not come into the room to disturb her.

Nina stood up and looked at the teacup on the floor. It was chipped, like her heart.

She left the room and went to pay at the counter.

The cashier noticed that Nina's arm was scalded and said," Miss, you ought to put some ointment on your arm.

Otherwise, it might leave a scar."

"I'm fine." Nina left the restaurant after paying her bill.

She sighed to herself. Even though the restaurant staff did not say anything, she could notice that their reactions toward her were different from before.

'Looks like I can't eat here anymore,' she thought. 'It's a pity

though. The food here is quite nice.'

Back at the company, Nina tried to cover the injury on her arm, but Sue happened to notice it. She grabbed Nina's arm and asked her, "Didn't you say that you went on a date?

What happened to your arm? It's so red. Were you scalded?"

"Mm, it was an accident," Nina pulled her arm away and said softly. She did not feel happy that her friend was concerned about her, but instead, she felt as though nothing could change her mood, and she was nothing but a lingering phantom.

She knew that Sue thought that she went on a date with Percy, and she did not offer to explain herself.

"You're too careless... Was it you or Percy?" Sue felt sorry for Nina. The injury looked painful.

"It's my fault," Nina said.

Sue shook her head. "You're so bad at lying, Nina. You can't possibly hurt yourself on this part of your body. Was Percy violent to you?"

Sue hated men who deliberately injured women. Thinking that Percy might be the one who caused Nina's injury, Sue wanted to get even with him.

Nina could see that Sue was about to and hunt down Percy. She shook her head and said, "It's the waitress. She accidentally spilled the milk tea when she was bringing it over.”

"Really?" Sue asked, still feeling suspicious. She thought that

Nina was covering up for Percy.

"I'm telling you the truth. I haven't washed my arm yet, and you can smell the tea if you come close," Nina said as she lifted her arm.

"Nah, it's fine. You didn't have to cover up for the waitress though," Sue said as she took a close look at Nina's arm. It was very red, and it would definitely leave a scar. She needed to get Nina some high- quality ointment.

"I'm worried that you'd pick a fight with the waitress," Nina said with a sigh. "It's not too serious, and I don't want any trouble."

"You're too kind, Nina. You can't just let it go when the injury looks so serious," Sue said. "You'll have to find some ointment for your arm. See, blisters are forming already."

Nina did not seem to mind the blisters. "It's fine. If it's too painful, I'll wash it with cold water."

"That won't do. It'll be a pity if you have scars on your forearm, and you won't be able to hide them in warm weather. Right, I know a medical researcher, and she might have something for you. Let me ask her." Sue suddenly remembered Luca.

Jason had told her that Luca was a genius medicine maker. She was able to produce her own herbal concoctions that could not be found in the market.

"You don't have to trouble anyone," Nina said. She was not concerned about her arm.

"I'll go and contact her," Sue said insistently while sending a message to Luca.

Her opinion of Luca had changed completely since the dinner. She did not hesitate to ask her for help.

At the moment, Luca was resting in her office. When she read Sue's message, she immediately replied: [I have something for scalds. I'll give it to you after work.]

Sue received Luca's message. In her reply, she invited Luca for dinner. Then, she said to Nina, "Come to my house for dinner tonight, Nina. My friend has just created an ointment that's good for treating

scalds. She'll be coming over after work."

Nina wanted to refuse, but after thinking that she would be home alone with Percy, she changed her mind. "Alright, thank you," she said.

Sue grinned brilliantly. "Don't be a stranger, aren't we friends? n

Nina felt a pang of envy when she saw Sue's smile. Ever since Sue decided that she would marry Jason, she had never stopped smiling.

After Luca went off work, she first went to her apartment to take the ointment that she had concocted, then caught a cab and went to Jason's house.

She could not refuse Sue's invitation.

At Jason's house, Sue opened the door and saw Luca standing outside. She smiled and said, "You're here, Luca. Please come in."

Luca smiled; Sue's smile was contagious. She walked in and said, "I was in a hurry, so I didn't prepare any gifts for you."

"Don't be a stranger, Luca. You don't have to bring anything," Sue said enthusiastically as she took Luca's arm and led her into the living room.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1363-She Was Not Happy

Luca was happy that Sue was so hospitable toward her. She took out the ointment from her handbag and asked, "Who's the one who needs medical attention?"

"She's a friend of mine. She's sitting inside," Sue said. They went into the living room and saw Nina sitting on the couch. "This is Nina Langdon, my friend and my colleague at work. Nina, this is Dr. Luca Craw."

Luca looked at Nina and, for a moment, did not know how to react.

She had checked on Nina's condition ever since she returned. At first, she was relieved to find out that Nina was still together with Percy. After all, Percy could protect her.

Now that she looked carefully at Nina, she could tell that Nina was not happy.

Nina had lost a lot of weight, and she was nothing more than skin and bones. Tears welled up in Luca's eyes as she looked at Nina.

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Craw." Nina smiled weakly when she looked at the unfamiliar face. Earlier, Sue had told her briefly about Luca, and she could tell that Sue admired the woman.

She roughly knew who Luca was, and she had heard about Luca's scandal with Luke.

At first, Nina did not have a good impression of Luca.

"Nice to meet you," Luca said and nodded slightly. She noticed that Nina's exposed forearm was red, and several blisters had formed on it.

She quickly handed the ointment to Nina. "This ointment is an antiseptic and a painkiller. You should use it."

Nina took the white, unlabeled tube and looked at it. "I've heard from Sue that you made this yourself."

Luca could tell that Nina was wary. She explained, "Mm, I made this myself. It's entirely made of herbs, and even people with sensitive skin can use it without any side effects."

Sue smiled and said, "You can't find it anywhere else."

Nina nodded and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Luca’s heart wrenched when she heard Nina's distant reply. Even though Nina sounded calm, she could sense the melancholy in her heart.

It seemed that Nina's condition had not become better over the past three years.

Sue said, "Quickly use the ointment, Nina. It's not going to become any better if you only use the ice pack. Alright, I'll go and cook dinner. The caretaker had to leave earlier, so it'll take a little longer. There are drinks and snacks in the fridge, so you can help yourselves with that. Make yourself at home, Luca."

Luca noticed that the caretaker and Jason were not in the house.

She could guess why Jason was not home yet. Amur had deliberately launched an attack on T Corporation's company network, and they must still be busy fixing it.

Even though she knew the reason, Luca asked, "Where's Mr. Doyle?"

"Don't you know? He has to work overtime today because something happened in the company," Sue said. She thought that Luca would have heard about it.

Luca shook his head. "I don't know. Watson isn't in the same building as T Corporation."

"That's true. I guess that's why it didn't affect you." Sue nodded.

Luca saw that Nina was applying the ointment on her arm. She stood up and said, "You're going to cook dinner soon, right? Why don't I help you?"

"Huh?" Sue was surprised. "You're a guest. I can't possibly ask you for help."

"Don't worry about it. You said that you wanted to taste my cooking, right? This is a good opportunity," Luca said as she walked toward the kitchen.

Sue considered that she would be making a mess in the kitchen because Jason and the caretaker were not around. She walked into the kitchen and said, "How about I help you then?"

"Alright," Luca nodded and said.

Nina slowly applied the ointment to her arm as she watched the two women walk into the kitchen. She sank deep in thought.

For some reason, she thought that Luca's silhouette looked familiar.

Jason had not returned after the three women finished their dinner. Luca was curious to find out whether they could solve the problem.

She knew that Luke was capable, but his employees in T Corporation...

She wondered if she had given him too much trouble.

She was about to leave when Nina said that she wanted to leave too. "Dr. Craw, you didn't drive here, did you? May I send you home?"

Luca was surprised. She said, "Our houses are in opposite directions, aren't they? I can catch a cab."

Nina shook her head and said insistently, "It's fine. It's already so late anyway, so it won’t take too long to travel in opposite directions. I have to thank you for your ointment. My arm doesn't hurt anymore."

She gently rubbed her arm, surprised that the swelling had gone down so quickly.

Other than thanking her, Nina wanted to send Luca back because she did not want to go home so soon.

She would rather not face Percy...

Sue said, "That's a good idea. If Nina wants to send you home, you shouldn't refuse. After all, we're all friends now."

Luca thought that it would be rude if she continued to refuse, so she sat in Nina's car.

After giving her address to Nina, Nina inputted it into her navigation app and started driving.

Luca caught a whiff of the air freshener in Nina's car. Her tastes were quite similar to Nina's, and they had used the same brand of air freshener three years ago.

"The air freshener smells quite nice," Luca said. She remembered that she and Nina used to be close friends, and she could clearly remember the times they spent together.

"Do you like it? I still have two more bottles at home. I'll give you one," Nina said.

Luca shook her head. "I don't have a car."

"I love this brand of air freshener the most. Right, I used to have a friend who loves it too. I've heard that the manufacturer was going out of business soon, so I got someone to buy a few more bottles from

overseas. The dinner you made earlier was excellent. My friend used to be a good cook too, and your cooking tastes quite similar to hers. I can't really remember though, it was a long time ago," Nina babbled on.

Luca could not help but feel dejected after hearing that. She knew that Nina was talking about her...

Before she could say anything, Nina's phone began to ring.

Nina paused for a while when she saw her phone screen. The call was from Percy, and she had to answer it. She put on her Bluetooth headset.

Percy's voice was immediately heard. "The maid said that you didn't come home for dinner."

"Sue invited me for dinner," Nina said. From what Percy said to her, she knew that he had not gone home yet.

Luca could tell that Percy was checking in on Nina.

She knew that Percy was an incredibly domineering person. From Nina's expression, she could tell that Nina was not happy together with him.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1364-They Hadn’t Been in Contact With Each Other

Percy did not seem satisfied with Nina's answer. "You didn't tell me that."

"I forgot," Nina said impatiently. She did not forget, but she did not want to report everything to him. That made her look as though she were his pet.

She was human, not Percy Mallory's pet.

Percy spoke nothing for the next three seconds. He thought that she was behaving erratically because she had something on her mind, so he said, "Alright, it's good to hear that you're eating your meals. I'll be back late because I have some work to do. Remember to go to bed early. If you can't sleep, take your sleeping pills."

Nina was not sure how to feel after hearing his words of concern. "Mm," she replied and ended the call.

Luca watched Nina take off her Bluetooth headset. She asked, "Was that your boyfriend?"

'Boyfriend?' Nina was taken aback, then she chuckled self- deprecatingly. Many people thought that Percy was her boyfriend, but he was actually not. What bound them together was a shameful transaction.

"No," Nina said, thinking that it would not be too long before Percy would be out of her life forever.

Once Percy was officially engaged to Ms. Johnston, Nina would automatically leave. Even though she had been his illicit lover for many years and her heart had already gone numb, she still had her principles.

She did not mind that she was unhappy, but she was not going to linger around and bring unhappiness to other women.

Percy was never going to find happiness if she clung to him.

From that reply, Luca was even more sure that she did not enjoy a healthy relationship with Percy. Perhaps that was the main cause of her depression.

Nina arrived at the destination and looked around her. "Is this the place?"

"Yes." Luca nodded, unfastened her seatbelt, and took out her phone. "Can I add you as a friend on Facebook?"

Nina was quite surprised by the question. She did not expect Luca to ask that after their first meeting, though she did not oppose the idea. "Sure," she nodded and said.

After adding each other to their contacts, Luca opened the car door. Before she stepped out, she said, "Drive safe on your way back. Send me a message when you reach home. It's getting late."

Nina was caught in a daze as she watched Luca close the door. Bianca used to say the same thing.

She suddenly had the urge to talk to Bianca. It had been a long time since they contacted each other...

With that thought, Nina dialed Bianca's number. The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked it up.

Two days later, the IT department of T Corporation finally managed to fix all the flaws in the network security system. At the same time, they also upgraded the servers' operating system.

The department manager gave Luke a detailed report in the CEO's office.

While fixing the flaws, they also found traces of attacks from other IP addresses in the network logs. The department manager dared not keep it a secret from Luke, so he reported that to him as well.

Luke's expression darkened when he heard that. "Are you telling me that none of you discovered all those attacks on our network?"

The manager kneaded his hands together nervously and tried to explain, "The attacks didn't activate the alarms. In any case, they didn't succeed."

"Won't it be too late if they succeeded?" Luke retorted, unhappy that the manager was trying to find excuses. The attacks might not have caused any harm to the company because they did not manage to access the top-secret information, but they exposed significant flaws in the company's security system.

The security system was supposed to be perfect, but those attacks managed to sneak past it undetected. One could imagine the number of flaws in that system.

"You're exactly right. Our staff has already upgraded the system and fixed its flaws. Next time, the system will automatically trigger an alarm once it detects an unknown IP address." The manager could tell that Luke was unhappy, so he tried to appease him.

T Corporation paid him a high salary. He did not want to lose the job.

Moreover, if T Corporation fired him, he would not be able to get a job elsewhere. He needed to make sure that Luke was appeased.

"I'll give you one day to raise the security rating of the system by two," Luke said. He was not in the mood to negotiate.

The manager frowned when he heard that. "I'm afraid that one day won’t be enough, Mr. Crawford."

"I'll personally test the system tomorrow. If there's no improvement to the security, I expect your resignation letter on my desk the day after." Luke gave his ultimatum.

"Yes!" Seeing that there was no wiggle room in Luke's orders, he had to agree to it.

Immediately after that, Jason brought Adrian into the office. "Mr. Crawford, Mr. Daley wants to talk to you about something."

Luke nodded and said to the manager, "You may leave."

"Yes." The manager left with his head drooped and a frown on his face. If he could not get the job done by today, his future would be quite bleak. He cursed the unknown hackers under his breath.

Adrian went over and sat down in front of Luke before Luke said anything. He was a guest and not an employee, so he was not too bothered by formalities.

"I've found a few things after two days, but it might not be much, and I'm not sure if the information will help," Adrian spoke before Luke or Jason said anything.

"What did you find?" Luke asked. Adrian might be a genius, but there was not much he could do, given the circumstances.

The IT department did not find anything. Any findings from Adrian were already a bonus.

The artist cut off the connection too soon, and I can tell that they're quite skilled, so I can only track them down to a certain extent. After two days, I managed to locate their general area, but I can't find their exact location," Adrian said.

Luke nodded and waited for Adrian to continue speaking.

Adrian continued, "It's in the west of A City. Let me send you a map."

As soon as he said that, Luke received a photo. On the photo was a map of A City with a big red circle drawn on the target area.

It was not a big area, but it was not small either. It would be very difficult to find the hacker's exact location.

"Huh," Jason exclaimed after hearing that the hacker was in the west area of A City.

Luke turned his gaze toward him.

"Mr. Crawford, Dr. Craw lives in the west," Jason explained.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1365-Luca's Neighborhood Was Included

Luke looked at the photo on his phone. Luca's neighborhood was included in the circle.

"Of course, it might only be a coincidence," Jason said.

Luke nodded. He would think of that problem later. Instead, he looked at Adrian and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't mention it. You want to upgrade your system, right?" Adrian asked.

Luke nodded.

"I can help you," Adrian said, offering his services. Luke was Percy's friend and commanded a considerable influence in A City. It would be a good idea if Luke would owe him a favor.

Luke could tell what Adrian was thinking. He asked him," What do you want?"

"I don't know what I want yet, but it won't be something major. You don't have to worry about owing me a favor," Adrian gave his promise.

Luke thought for a while. Then, he stood up and extended his hand, "Deal."

"Thank you," Adrian stood up and shook hands with Luke." I'll need access to your company's mainframe."

"Mr. Doyle will bring you there," Luke said.

"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Doyle," Adrian turned around and spoke to Jason.

Jason nodded and led him to the IT department.

Luke leaned back on his executive chair. He looked at the photo on his phone and sank into deep thought.

After Jason brought Adrian to the IT department, Luke summoned him back to the CEO's office. He knocked on the door and went inside. "How may I help you, Mr. Crawford?"

"I want to go to Watson," Luke said. The hacking incident in New York was related to Luca. Now, Adrian had narrowed down the area where the attack on T Corporation originated to include Luca's neighborhood. Luke could not help but suspect that the attack was also related to Luca.

It seemed too suspicious to be only a coincidence.

Jason reminded him, "Mr. Crawford, you have an important international teleconference in twenty minutes. You'll have to be present to discuss the contract with the other party."

In other words, Jason did not want him to go to Watson now.

With no other choice, Luke had to cancel his plan of going there.

Luke returned to Crawford Manor at night. He had not been home for the past two days because of what happened to T Corporation, and the children were very excited to see him.

"Daddy! Daddy!" They called out to Luke, which made his stress and lethargy vanish into thin air.

Old Master Crawford was sitting on the couch. He asked him, "I suppose you've dealt with everything that happened in the company?"

"It's dealt with,” Luke said. He knew that Old Master Crawford had several confidants working in the company, so he could not hide anything from his grandfather.

Old Master Crawford did not intervene because he was confident that Luke was capable of handling it.

"That's good to know." Old Master Crawford nodded in satisfaction. There were no negative reports of the incident, and the share prices were not affected. It seemed that Luke had perfectly overcome the challenge.

"Tch," Susan muttered disapprovingly. She thought, 'What's so hard about that? It's just repairing computers, isn't it? Any intern could have done that. Louis would have been able to solve the problem too.'

Old Master Crawford heard that. He glared at Susan and said, "Don't think that it's easy to fix the problem. If it were you, you wouldn't be able to solve it."

Susan put her teacup down and said, "Of course I can't do it. I'll have to leave it to the young people to handle things like these. Louis would be able to solve it though."

Old Master Crawford knew that Susan was complaining that he did not give Louis the chance to prove himself, though he knew that Louis had insisted on leaving T Corporation and starting his own studio. "What are you talking about? I offered Louis the opportunity to work in T Corporation, but

he didn't want to stay."

Susan had no retort to that. She could only glare at Luke as the resentment in her heart grew.

Old Master Crawford turned to Luke and asked him, "Where did Bianca travel to, Luke? Is she so engrossed that she can't even call home? Does she still care about the children or treat this place as her home?"

Luke remained unperturbed when his grandfather mentioned Bianca's name. Gale and Rain had been interrogating Bianca non-stop for the past few days, but Bianca's mouth remained shut. Of course, that was expected for anyone from the Island of Despair, which showed no mercy to traitors.

"Bea called me earlier today. She said that she's having a lot of fun, and she would be extending her vacation for a few more days," Luke lied.

"What's wrong with her? Her children are still young, and she's neglecting them!" Old Master Crawford's expression darkened. Luke had not returned home for the past two days because he was busy with the work at T Corporation, but Bianca had taken the opportunity to go and travel!

"As long as she's happy," Luke said.

"You've spoiled her, Luke. That's ridiculous!" Old Master Crawford said.

Rainie could sense that the atmosphere was getting awkward. She tugged Tommy's shirt sleeve and said," Tommy, don't you have something to tell Daddy?"

Tommy remembered what he wanted to say. He went in front of Luke and said, "Let's go upstairs, Daddy. I have to show you my trophy."

"What trophy?" Luke asked.

"Our school had a chess tournament today, and I won first place. The teacher gave me a trophy as a prize!" Tommy said smugly.

"Yes, the teacher said that Tommy is very bright," Old Master Crawford said.

Luke leaned over and picked Tommy up with his arms." Alright, let's go upstairs and take a look."

Lanie and Rainie followed behind them.

Susan watched the family of four resentfully. She thought that she would have to send Thea to a few more classes so that the three children would not hog the limelight.

Later at night, Luke was working in the study. When he suddenly thought of Luca, he paused abruptly.

The caretaker rushed hurriedly into the study and said, "Mr. Crawford, you should go and take a look at Master Tommy. He has a fever."

"What's going on?" Luke stood up and walked toward Tommy’s bedroom.

'Master Tommy had been coughing irregularly for the past two days. We gave him some cough syrup, and he got

better. Just now, he suddenly had a fever," the caretaker explained.

Luke went into Tommy's bedroom and saw him lying on the bed. Another caretaker pulled out a body thermometer from his armpit and glanced at it. "His temperature is 102 degrees, Mr. Crawford. Shall we get Dr. Cairn to come?"

"Get Sean to prepare the car. I'm sending Tommy to the hospital." Luke immediately made a decision. novelbin

The caretaker nodded hurriedly, turned around, and went to inform the driver.

Luke picked Tommy up and went downstairs.

Tommy opened his eyes groggily when he realized that he was in Luke's arms. "I feel horrible, Daddy," he said with much difficulty.

Luke gently stroked his head and said, "I'm bringing you to the hospital."

Tommy nodded and closed his eyes again.

Luke brought Tommy into the car and gave Johann a call.

After Sean parked the car at the hospital, Tommy was immediately wheeled into the ward, and several doctors and nurses immediately set to work. Tommy’s temperature had already reached 104 degrees. The doctors discussed and agreed to Tommy's medication, then took a blood sample for analysis.

Johann watched the nurses hook Tommy up to an IV drip and take a blood sample. He asked Luke, "Why did Tommy have a fever suddenly? Did he catch a cold?"

"No," the caretaker who came along said. "Master Tommy had a slight cough two days ago, but we gave him some cough syrup, and he was fine. He suddenly had a fever earlier tonight."

Johann nodded and said, "Sis went through a lot when she was pregnant with him, so he naturally has a weaker constitution than other kids. It's normal that he'll occasionally catch a fever. He'll be fine after some rest."

Luke thought that there must be something behind it. Otherwise, the other doctors would not have gotten Johann to personally attend to Tommy.

"Do you remember the time when Bianca was hospitalized?" He suddenly said.

Johann glanced at him, then at the child on the bed. "Are you suspecting that Bianca is involved somehow, and that's why you brought the kid to the hospital?"

Whenever Luke's children were ill, Luke would usually call Johann to go over to Crawford Manor. Johann thought that Luke was overreacting to Tommy's illness, but after Luke asked that question, he thought that Luke's worries were justified.

Luke nodded. After knowing that the impostor Bianca was a minion of the Island of Despair, he tried to recall what she had done, including the time when she was hospitalized for a month. Everything seemed to point to a bigger, more nefarious plan.

"We'll talk after the blood test results are out. There isn't anything going on tonight, and I'll urge the lab technicians to get it done as soon as possible." Johann could empathize with him.

Luke nodded.

Tommy’s blood test results were out some time after midnight. The report showed that everything was normal, and Tommy's fever had subsided after taking some medication.

"It might be only a regular fever," Johann tried to comfort Luke.

It was already very late at night, and the caretaker and the driver had already gone back to Crawford Manor. Luke sat on the chair next to Tommy's bed and touched the child's forehead with his hand. "How is the investigation in the hospital?"

After returning from New York, Luke had been occupied with the hacking incident in T Corporation, and he did not have time to follow up with Johann about the faulty DNA test from three years ago.

He took this opportunity to ask Johann about it.

Johann shook his head and sighed. "I've asked the hospital director about it, and he told me that the security footage from three years ago had been erased. It'll be very difficult to investigate an incident from so long ago, and all we have are the test records. We can't find anything useful from there."

The hospital management did not expect that the DNA test samples were swapped.

After all, not everyone could go into the laboratory. Even the hospital staff needed the appropriate access card to go inside.

"What about the lab technicians who were on shift that night?" Luke asked.

"We haven't found the shift records of that night. You shouldn't put too much hope into that. Some of the lab technicians have left over the years, and even if they knew who was on shift that night, they probably won't remember what happened."

Luke knew that investigating the incident was practically impossible, but at least he knew that the Island of Despair was behind it, and the real Bianca was still in their hands.

His phone began to ring, and he answered it immediately. Gale was on the other end of the call. "Boss, the woman wants to meet you."

The impostor Bianca had kept her mouth shut over the past few days of interrogation. Finally, she said that she wanted to meet Luke, and Gale and Rain were relieved to hearthat.

Tommy was still in the hospital, and Luke could not leave right now. He said, "I'll go over first thing in the morning."

"Okay," Gale replied and ended the call.

Johann could guess that the urgent call so late at night must be related to the impostor Bianca. He asked, "Are there any developments?"

Luke put his phone away. "She wants to meet me."

Johann wanted to say something but stopped himself. He patted Luke's shoulder and said, "TH be in my office tonight. You can come and find me if you need someone to talk to."

Luke nodded and sat back down on the chair to look after Tommy.

The next morning, he got a caretaker from Crawford Manor to come over and take care of Tommy while he drove the car to the mansion in the outskirts.

Gale and Rain had been waiting for him.

"You're here, Boss," Rain said with a smile on her face.

Thinking that the impostor Bianca was willing to speak to Luke, they would be able to find out more information about the Island of Despair and rescue the real Bianca.

"Why did she suddenly change her mind?" Luke asked as he walked toward the living room.

"I don't know. Gale was interrogating her when she suddenly said that she wanted to meet you," Rain replied.

Luke went down the stairs and into the basement. When he opened the door, he was greeted by the pungent stench of blood.

"Turn on the ventilation," Luke frowned and said.

"It's already on, Boss. It stinks a little here, but there's nothing we can do about it. You'll just have to get used to it," Rain said as she turned on the light. Luke saw the impostor Bianca lying on the bed, half- dead.

Luke felt revolted by the stench in the room, but he went inside anyway.

Bianca opened her eyes weakly. Her eyes flashed with hatred when she saw the man. Even though she was an impostor, he should not have treated her like that. After all, she was his wife for three years!

She wanted to escape, but she could not. There was no way for her to die either.

"What do you want to tell me?" Luke said. He remained six feet away from her, and he showed no sympathy toward the wounds on her body.

"If you've been keeping quiet all this while, you might as well remain quiet. The tattoo on your back has told us everything we need to know. You'd better speak up if you don't want to suffer," Rain warned her.

Gale tugged Rain's hand, indicating that she should keep quiet.

Rain pouted. She hated the way that woman wasted everyone's time.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1367-The Impostor’s Plan

Bianca's eyelids fluttered, and she said, "Even if I tell you that I don't know anything, you wouldn't believe me, right?"

Luke was furious when he heard that, and he could feel the fires of anger burning in his chest. The woman had deceived him for three years and made him miss so many opportunities to find the woman he loved.

"You have your plans, Luke, and I do too. I thought I loved you, but I didn't expect that you're so cruel to me!” Bianca complained as she lay helplessly on the bed.

"Give me the whip," Luke said.

Bianca shuddered when she heard that Luke was going to use the whip on her. She could withstand normal whipping, but Rain had treated the whip with a particular drug that would cause her veins to hurt and itch. She wanted to scratch her wounds, but she did not have the strength.

"Here is it, Boss," Rain said as she handed Luke the whip.

Bianca shuddered. She knew that the man in front of her showed no mercy toward her, so she did not try to evoke his pity. Instead, she said, "If this is how you're going to treat me, then you can't blame me for what I've done to you."

Luke narrowed his gaze. Killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Bianca wanted to push herself up, but she was still under the drug's effects, so she had to continue lying on the bed."

Your youngest son must be ill now, isn't he?"

Gale and Rain exchanged glances. They did not know what Bianca was talking about.

"What did you say?" Luke's eyes widened slightly. Did Tommy’s fever really have something to do with Bianca?

"I've been feeding your son a special type of cookie, Luke. I made them myself. Your twins didn't want to touch them, but your greedy little boy ate a lot of them. He should be having a fever by now." After Bianca's initial plan of keeping Rainie away from home failed, she began to carry out her second plan.

If Old Master Crawford did not like her, she would pretend to be a caring mother so that the old man would stop making her life difficult.

It was not easy to be a caring mother because the children did not cooperate with her. That was why she obtained some drugs from her contact. If one ingested the drug over a period of time, they would be down with a high fever, just like what happened to her after she took the pill.

As long as the children were ill, she could take care of them, and Old Master Crawford’s opinion of her would change.

However, Lanie and Rainie did not want to eat the cookies she baked, and Tommy ate them all. She was happy that at least one of the three children was willing to eat her cookies.

It was much easier to take care of one child than three, and Bianca continued to feed those cookies to Tommy.

Things were going according to plan until Luke brought her to the mansion. In any case, she was glad that she had carried out the plan because that gave her a bargaining chip.

"What do you want?" Luke said.

"Let me go, and your son will be okay. Otherwise, his fever won't subside until his brain turns into goo! Heh heh..." Bianca said hatefully. A lump of clotted blood choked Bianca, and she coughed violently a few times.

"You depraved woman!" Rain pointed at her and cursed.

Bianca laughed coldly. "Aren't we all? We're all from the Island of Despair, right? You're just as depraved as I am. Whatever you're doing to me now, I'll make sure that I'll return the favor someday!"

Rain was livid when she heard what Bianca said. She wanted to snatch the whip from Luke's hand and use it on Bianca.

She had watched Tommy grow up, and she adored the little boy. She felt sorry for Tommy for being exploited by the impostor Bianca's nefarious plans.

Gale knew what Rain was thinking. He grabbed her arm and shook his head.

Luke threw the whip on the floor and said, "Take good care of her. Make sure that she suffers."

As Bianca watched him leave, she said, "No one outside of the Island of Despair can save your son, Luke. No one knows the components of the drug! Heh heh heh, if you

don’t let me go, your son will eventually turn into a vegetable! n

Luke hastened his footsteps. He got into the car and drove toward the hospital.

His car had only left the mansion when he received a call from the caretaker, saying that Tommy's temperature had risen again, and the doctor asked him to go over as soon as possible.

Upon hearing that, Luke floored the gas pedal.

Amur was hiding in the bushes. He watched Luke's car leave and wondered if Luke was plotting something with Gale and Rain. Otherwise, Luke would not have appeared at the mansion.

He considered sneaking into the mansion to investigate, but he knew that Gale and Rain were formidable opponents. It was not a wise choice to alert them of his presence.

When Luke arrived at the hospital, Tommy was already hooked up to an IV drip. He was not asleep, and his eyes were bloodshot as though he had just finished crying.

"I feel horrible, Daddy," Tommy said as he curled up on the bed. He felt that his body was on fire, and he did not know how to describe how he was feeling except for "horrible."

"Good boy. You'll be okay soon." Luke's heart wrenched when he saw his son's condition.

When he first returned from the Island of Despair, Louis had told him what Bianca endured to give birth to the boy. She had to deliver the baby while single-handedly keeping T Corporation running.

Bianca had suffered a lot, but she believed that Luke would return, and she had brought the child safely to the world.

Luke felt helpless as he watched his youngest son suffer, and he did not know where Bianca was. He stroked

Tommy's head and said, "Til go and look for Uncle Johann. Be a good boy and stay here. I'll be back soon."

"Mm." Tommy nodded, and a tear appeared in the corner of his eye.

Luke went to Johann's office. Johann was reading Tommy's test report.

When Johann saw Luke come in, he said, "I don't know what's going on. I've already ordered a new round of tests."

"I know what's going on," Luke said.

Johann looked at him suspiciously.

"When I went to meet the impostor Bianca, she confessed that it was her plan. She gave Tommy some cookies baked with a special drug from the Island of Despair which will induce high fever. Tommy is suffering from the effects of the drug now," Luke said. His hands were already clenched into fists.

Tommy would not have to suffer if only Luke had acted sooner and taken the impostor out of the house!

Johann seemed to have thought of something, so he said," Do you think that her fever earlier was also caused by the drug?"

Luke nodded. "That's possible."

"It probably means that Dr. Craw has a solution. In any case, our priority is to lower the kid's temperature," Johann suggested.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1368-Can You Hug Me?

Johann could not yet tell the severity of the child's fever. However, Luke seemed to think that it was a very serious matter.

Luke nodded, though he had his doubts.

If the impostor Bianca's fever was caused by a special drug from the Island of Despair, and only the Island of Despair had the cure for the drug, how did Luca manage to alleviate the effects of the drug when Bianca was in the hospital?

Could Luca be also from the Island of Despair? Luke remembered how she had given Bianca a herbal concoction to suppress the effects of the drug, and he also considered the fact that the hacker's location was near Luca's neighborhood.

Whatever Luke was thinking, Johann had also thought about it. However, he was more concerned about Tommy's condition, so he searched the database on his computer for Luca’s prescription.

Luca had given them two prescriptions, and he had recorded them in his database for future research.

He looked at the prescription and rubbed his chin. "This is the prescription that Dr. Craw gave Bianca last time. The ingredients are entirely natural, but I can’t guarantee that it'll achieve the same effect if we don't know the drug that Bianca used on Tommy."

In other words, Luke had to call Luca over.

Luke thought that he could not afford to waste anytime. He took out the phone and gave Luca a call.

At that moment, Luca had just clocked in at her office. She was about to don her lab coat and go into the laboratory to continue her research when her phone began to ring. She furrowed her brows when

she saw that the call was from Luke.

Rhett knocked on the door to her office. The door was ajar, so he popped in and told her, "Dr. Craw, the report from yesterday's tissue culture experiment is ready."

"Mm, I'll go over in a while," Luca nodded and said. She hesitated for a while before deciding that she should answer the call. After all, Luke would not call her unless it was something urgent.

"Good morning, Mr. Crawford," she said stiffly.

Luke did not beat around the bush. "Tommy is in the hospital now, and his condition is quite peculiar. Can you come to the hospital for a bit?"

Luca's heart skipped a beat when she heard Tommy was in the hospital. However, she reminded herself of her identity now, and she composed herself before saying, "What happened? What did the doctors say?"

"He has a high fever. The blood test shows that everything was normal, but the fever keeps coming back. The symptoms are very similar to Bianca's fever last month,"

Luke said.

Luca noticed that he said the name "Bianca" as though he was saying the name of a stranger.

She became anxious when she heard that Tommy was suffering. Remembering that Bianca had tried to abduct Rainie so that she could gain some respect from Old Master Crawford, Luca wondered if this was also Bianca's ploy.

Luca could not sit still anymore. She said, "I'll go over to the hospital now, Mr. Crawford. Let me know where I can meet you. Also, I'll need all of Tommy's test reports. Dr. Park should be at the hospital, right? Please ask him to send the reports to me as soon as possible."

"Mm. Let me know what reports you need, and I'll get him to prepare them for you," Luke handed the phone to Johann.

Johann took the phone. Before he could say anything, Luca rattled off a list of tests. Other than the usual blood test, the hospital had not performed the others.

After Luca finished telling him the list, Johann replied," Alright, we'll go and make arrangements."

Then, Luca ended the call.

Sitting in front of his computer, Johann began to order the tests in the hospital system and used his authority to assign them the highest priority. If what Luke said was true, Tommy was poisoned, and it was considered an emergency.

Luke looked at his phone and looked at the words "Call Ended" for a few seconds. He sent a message to inform

Luca about Tommy's room number, then put his phone back in his pocket.

After ordering the tests, Johann snapped his fingers. "It's done," he said.

"Are they all regular tests?" Luke asked.

"No. Some of them are toxicology tests. I've put the tests on high priority, and the nurse will attend to Tommy soon. Do you want to accompany him?" Johann said. Usually, the hospital would not perform toxicology tests during a regular examination. If the regular tests could not provide any useful results, toxicology tests needed to be done.

"Mm. I'll return to the room for now," Luke said as he stood up. He knew that Tommy was very ill and needed him the most.

Shortly after Luke returned to Tommy's room, the nurse came in and prepared to take a blood sample. After that, she wanted to bring Tommy to another room to perform some tests.

Tommy squirmed uncomfortably and protested. Luke picked him up and carried him, while the caretaker followed behind with the drip bottle.

Johann had given high priority to Tommy, so the tests were done in no time. After Luke returned to the room, Luca came in through the door.

She saw Luke carefully place Tommy on the bed, so she asked, "Has he done the tests?"

"Mm, but the report will take a while.” After Luke tucked Tommy in, he turned around and looked at Luca.

Luca looked obviously tired. She probably did not sleep well.

"Mm, let's wait." She watched the caretaker hang the drip bottle on the rack, then looked at the little boy on the bed.

The nurse measured Tommy's temperature with a thermometer. Luca asked, "What's his temperature?"

"His condition is improving after receiving some medication. It's 99.5 degrees now," the nurse replied.

Tommy was not completely asleep. When he heard Luca's voice, he opened his eyes and said, "Ms. Luca? Is she here?"

Luke nodded.

Luca went up to the side of the bed, and her heart wrenched when she saw that Tommy's face was pale. "Yes, Tommy, I'm here."

"I feel horrible, Ms. Luca." Tommy flipped to his back and looked at her. He had cried earlier when the nurse took his blood sample. His eyes were bloodshot.

When Luca saw that, she wanted to hug him.

Tommy continued, "Ms. Luca, can you give me a hug? When I was sick, my Mommy used to hug me to sleep."

Luke wanted to say something when he heard Luca say," Alright."

She sat down on the bed, leaned on the headboard, and

brought Tommy into her arms.

Tommy shifted a little so that he was comfortable, then closed his eyes.

Luke could not help but feel emotional when he saw Tommy sleeping peacefully in Luca's embrace. It looked as though Luca and Tommy were mother and son.

In Crawford Manor, the caretaker was the closest adult female to Tommy. Even she could not calm Tommy down when the nurse took Tommy's blood sample.

Tommy was not naughty, but he would throw tantrums whenever he was angry. Bianca was like that too...

Luke looked at Luca and thought about his missing wife. Could Luca be from the Island of Despair too?

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1369-Was She Planning to Replace Her?

Luca continued to hold Tommy in her arms until the drip bottle was dry. She did not let go even after the nurse removed the needle.

Tommy was quiet in her arms. Under the effect of the sedative, he eventually fell asleep.

The caretaker gently reminded Luca, "Ms. Craw, it'll be quite tiring to carry Master Tommy like that. Shall I do it instead?"

"I'm fine." Luca felt that her arms were slightly numb, but she insisted on carrying the child. She freed one of her hands to cover him with the blanket.

Old Master Crawford rushed to the hospital after he knew that Tommy was sick. He got the driver to fetch him there, and he was surprised to see the scene when he went into the room.

"She is..." He had only seen Luca in photos, and he did not immediately recognize her.

"Grandfather, this is Dr. Craw," Luke said.

"Nice to meet you. Dr. Craw." Old Master Crawford knew that Luca had helped Bianca and Queenie before, and the three children adored her. He was not going to look down on someone so capable, but he could not understand why Tommy was sleeping in her arms.

Did she coax Tommy to sleep? That was supposed to be the job of his father. Why would she be the one to do that?

Old Master Crawford might not like Bianca after she lost her memories, but he respected Luke's choice did not force him to divorce her. He wondered if Luca was trying to gain the children's favor so that she could replace Bianca in the Crawford family.

He had that suspicion because so many women had tried to do the same thing over the years.

As far as Old Master Crawford was concerned, marrying Bianca was Luke's choice, and Luke ought to take responsibility for his decisions.

"Nice to meet you, Sir." Luca thought that she should be more respectful toward the old man, but she could not stand up because she was carrying the child in her arms.

She was relieved to see that Old Master Crawford was still in good health.

Even though there had been some misunderstandings between them, she was grateful toward Old Master Crawford.

Without Old Master Crawford in the house, her three children would probably be bullied by the other people in the family. Luke was busy at work, and he could not be constantly looking after the children.

"Mm. What's wrong with Tommy?" Old Master Crawford asked.

Luca looked at the child in her arms. He was sleeping

soundly, and one of his hands was gripping Luca's arm as though he was worried that she might go away.

That was all she could do in the daytime. At night, she would not hesitate to lie down beside him.

The caretaker explained, "Master Tommy was throwing a tantrum earlier, and Ms. Craw managed to calm him down."

Old Master Crawford knew that Tommy adored Luca, but he could not understand why Luca was here at the hospital.

"Mm, thank you, Ms. Craw. How is Tommy’s condition?" Old Master Crawford asked out of concern.

Luke replied, "Tommy's fever has subsided, but his condition is unstable, and his fever might return. That's why I asked Dr.

Craw to come over to check on Tommy."

"How did he become like that? I know that Tommy was coughing a few days ago, but how did it become so serious? " Old Master Crawford asked, confused.

"We don't know yet," Luke said.

Old Master Crawford walked over to the bedside with the help of his walking stick. His heart wrenched when he saw Tommy's face. "Did Dr. Park say anything?"

"They had just performed a series of tests on Tommy, Grandfather. Let's not rush them. They can only diagnose Tommy's condition after the test results are out," Luke said.

Old Master Crawford knew that there was no point in rushing them. He went to sit down on the couch and waited for the test results.

He looked at Luca, who was hugging Tommy as though she were his mother. Then, he was reminded of Bianca, who was traveling and having fun somewhere. "How about Bianca? When is she coming home?" He asked.

"She won't be coming home any time soon," Luke said.

Old Master Crawford was unhappy to hear that. He thought that Bianca was prioritizing her own gratification over the children's health. "That's no way to be a mother! When a child is sick, they need their mother the most, yet she's still having fun somewhere!"

Luke could not tell Old Master Crawford that Bianca was an impostor. Before he got to the bottom of the matter, it was best to keep it a secret. After all, he could not afford to let the enemy know what he

knew.

"Bianca has been taking care of the children for the past three years. I thought she deserved to have some time off," he said.

Luca's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

"It doesn't mean that she can neglect her children! How can she have the mood to travel when her son is sick?" Old Master Crawford said unhappily.

"I didn't tell her," Luke said calmly.

Old Master Crawford frowned hard, thinking if Luke had pampered Bianca too much. Otherwise, there was no reason to let her continue her trip without telling her about what happened to Tommy.

Luca was quiet as she listened to the conversation between Old Master Crawford and Luke.

She knew that Bianca was traveling. Even if Bianca did not care about the children, she should at least pretend that she cared.

However, Luke said that he did not inform her.

If the impostor Bianca had planned for Tommy to fall sick, she would not have been traveling during this period.

The impostor Bianca had no medical skills, but she should know when the drug would take effect.

Last time, she had abducted Rainie so that she could gain some respect from Old Master Crawford. It was the perfect opportunity for her to pretend to be a caring mother, so why was she not around to take care of Tommy?

As capricious as she might be, she would not disobey Abel's orders.

The more Luca thought about it, the more suspicious she became. Suddenly, she was not jealous of the attention Luke gave to the impostor Bianca.

"Bianca is your wife, Luke. I know you pamper her, but you shouldn't let her do that," Old Master Crawford said sternly.

Luke nodded. "Grandfather, you don't have to worry about our relationship."

Luca’s suspicion continued to grow as she listened to their conversation. She stole a glance at Luke's side profile and wondered if he was hiding something from his grandfather.

Did he find out that Bianca was an impostor?

Luca immediately dismissed that thought. The impostor Bianca's excuse had always been that she had lost her memories. How could Luke see past her lies?

The more Luca thought about it, the more she realized that she had to find out the truth.

She decided that she would ask Amur to investigate.

Amur was good at hacking. She could ask him to check the immigration records to see if the impostor Bianca had traveled overseas like what Luke claimed.

Old Master Crawford could tell that Luke had no intention of asking Bianca to come home. He shook his head and said nothing more about the matter.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1370-She Had No Relation to the Family

Two hours later, Tommy's full test report was ready.

Johann came into the room with a stack of paper. Luca asked, "Is that the test report?"

"Yes, Dr. Craw. Indeed, there are abnormalities in some of the tests. Take a look," Johann said while handing the stack of paper to Luca.

It was only then that Luca let go of Tommy.

Tommy had already fallen asleep in her arms. She gently placed the little boy on the bed without waking him up.

Old Master Crawford observed her careful actions.

Compared to Bianca, Luca looked more like the child's mother.

The child was willing to get close to her, and she was willing to take care of the child.

However, no one could deny the truth. Bianca was the birth mother of the three children. It did not matter how Luca treated them.

Old Master Crawford stole a glance at Luke. He was also observing Luca's actions.

After Luca tucked Tommy in, she took the document from Johann's hands and briefly browsed through it. "We'll have to do a bacteria culture test. I suspect that Tommy ate something wrong, and he's down with a bacteria infection."

Luke frowned slightly when he heard that.

He knew that Tommy's fever was caused by the impostor Bianca's cookies.

"Everything that Tommy ate in the past few days was prepared by the household cook, except last Sunday, when they went over to your house. What could have possibly caused the bacterial infection?" Old Master Crawford raised his doubts.

Even though he pampered the children, he was quite strict when it came to matters concerning their health. He did not allow the children to eat junk food even if they begged him for it, and the caretakers and driver knew better than to disobey his orders.

Luca could sense that Old Master Crawford was suspecting her. She said, "It's true that I made some croissants for the children that day, but the ingredients were freshly bought from the supermarket. If there's something wrong with the food, then all three children and..."

She paused for a while and looked at Luke. "All three children and Mr. Crawford ate the croissants. Tommy shouldn't be the only one affected."

Luke already knew the cause of Tommy's sickness. After Luca finished explaining herself, he added, "There's nothing wrong with the food last Sunday. Tommy might have sneakily bought and eaten some unhealthy food when no one was looking. The most important thing now is to diagnose the infection so that the doctors can treat it."

Old Master Crawford frowned. He did not look very happy.

Johann tried to ease the tension in the room. "That's right, Luke. I'll get a nurse to collect a sample so that we can perform the bacteria culture test. It'll take a day before we get results. In the meantime, the nurse will take Tommy's temperature every half an hour. Don't worry."

Luca watched Johann leave, then turned her head to look at the child on the bed. She would only know what caused Tommy's fever the next day...

She wanted to stay behind to take care of Tommy, but Luke and Old Master Crawford were in the room. She was only an outsider, and she had no reason to stay.

Even though Old Master Crawford did not say it, she could tell that he was not pleased with her presence. To him, Luca had no relation to the family. If she was too eager, he might think that she had an ulterior motive.

There was no choice but to leave...

"Mr. Crawford, if the test results are only ready by tomorrow, I should return to the company and continue my work," Luca said, trying hard not to show that she was worried.

Luke stared at her. "Aren't you going to give Tommy a prescription?"

"I'm not taking the risk; the child's body is weak. I can only do that after the bacteria culture test report is out," Luca said, taking into consideration Tommy's condition.

Tommy was her son, and she knew his physical condition very well.

Luke thought what Luca said made sense; it was better to err on the side of caution when the cause of Tommy’s fever was yet known. He nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Don't mention it. Tommy is a good boy." Luca turned around and looked at Tommy again. His body temperature had returned to normal, and his face was a healthy color. His lips were dry and slightly cracked, so she said, "The fever might return again. When he's awake, you should feed him warm water. If he's sleeping, you can dab his lips with a moist cotton swab."

"Yes, Ms. Craw. I'll do that for him," the caretaker said.

Luca nodded at Luke, bowed slightly to Old Master Crawford, and left the room.

Old Master Crawford stood up and walked to the side of the bed with his walking stick. He sighed as he gazed at the sleeping child.

"I want to drink coffee. Go and buy some coffee for me," the old man said to the caretaker.

The caretaker put away the glass of water in her hand and left the room.

After the caretaker left, only Old Master Crawford and Luke remained in the room.

Old Master Crawford did not beat around the bush. 'Luke, are you hiding something from me?"

Luke could tell that he would not be able to hide the truth

from his grandfather for much longer. He nodded but did not say anything.

"What is it?" Old Master Crawford asked.

"I can't tell you yet," Luke said.

Old Master Crawford knew that Luke had a reason for doing so. He nodded and stopped asking him questions.

After leaving the office in the evening, Luca met Amur in front of her apartment.

She knew that Amur had been keeping a close eye on Gale and Rain. After they went into the house and she stored the food from the supermarket in the fridge, she asked, "What are your findings today?"

Amur told her truthfully, "Gale and Rain never left the mansion. Luke was at the mansion, but he only stayed there for half an hour."

"Luke was there? When?" Luca asked.

"He entered the mansion at eight o'clock and left at eightthirty," Amur said.

Luca remembered what Luke said. He said that Bianca had gone traveling overseas.

She thought that it was not the truth. She was also quite confident that Bianca had caused Tommy's fever.

'Amur, can you investigate if Bianca has left the country?" Luca asked.

Amur nodded. "Alright, no problem. Why do you want to know that though?"

"Luke..." She paused for a while before she continued, "Mr. Crawford said that Bianca is currently traveling overseas, but I don't think that's the case. She might be held captive somewhere."
