Ch. 1631..1640

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1631-“What do you mean? He just wants to run a business of his own. What can he do with such a small amount of money? Just get over it. There's no need to ask him to come back." Old Master Mallory refused to believe that Pierre had his eyes on T Corporation.

Therefore, he had no intention of asking Pierre to come back.

After all, he was surprised to know that Pierre had started his career now.

"Hah, I've seen a lot in the business world after all these years. I wouldn't be mad at Pierre if he goes after T Corporation and tries to steal my business if he were truly capable. That could only mean that Luke isn't capable enough. And I don't mind him destroying our business partnership that has lasted for years, but Pierre is playing dirty to force Luke to give up the project in Europe. Tell me, does that make any sense? Not only is he ruining the relationship between our families but he's not even taking other people's lives seriously. I'm not going to let him get away with this."

Old Master Mallory's expression grew more serious as he listened to what Old Master Crawford said. “Crawford, are you jealous of my grandson for being capable and being able to set up a successful business?"

Old Master Crawford sneered as he listened to him covering up for Pierre. He handed his phone to him. "Take a look at this. This is the video that Luke received today."

Old Master Mallory pushed his glasses up his nose and watched the video until the end. He saw the woman in the video get beat up so badly. He could not help but ask, "Who's this? Isn't your granddaughter-in-law overseas? Why did this person hold someone else hostage to threaten your grandson to give up the project?"

Old Master Crawford stood up, walked to his side, and swiped the phone screen.

"This is the place. Can you recognize it now?" he said.

Old Master Mallory saw Luke walking out of the villa carrying a woman in his arms. Although the video was not very clear, he was able to notice that the woman Luke was carrying in his arms was wearing the same clothes as the woman who was beaten up in the previous video.

“Can this prove anything?" Old Master Mallory still could not get it. The video could only mean that there was something going on between Luke and that woman.

The butler who was standing beside noticed something and said to him in a low voice, "Old Master Mallory, this is Young Master Pierre's villa. He just bought it."

Old Master Mallory was startled for a moment after he was reminded. He looked at the video again. There was the house number in the video. It was indeed Pierre's villa.

“How did this person kidnap the woman and bring her to Pierre's villa?" Old Master Mallory still refused to believe that Pierre would do something like this.

It was not that he refused to believe that Pierre would kidnap someone but he never thought that he would have the guts to get someone to threaten Luke and ask him to give up the competition.

He had always taught them that they had to be just and honest when doing business. Even though they sometimes had to play tricks to compete for a project, he reminded them not to use dirty tricks that would cause people to hold grudges against them.

Old Master Crawford replied, "Do you need an answer for that? Who would be able to enter the house if it's not Pierre himself behind all this? With the evidence of his company information and the video, are you still going to cover up for your grandson?"

"Ask Pierre, that bastard, to come home right now!" Old Master Mallory would not lose his conscience no matter how much he loved his grandson.

Furthermore, the evidence in front of him was enough to prove everything...

"Yes." Realizing how serious the matter was, the butler picked up his phone and called Pierre.

However, no one was answering the call.

"Old Master Mallory, I can't reach him," replied the butler.

"What's wrong? Hand me my phone." Old Master Mallory had to bring Pierre home and question him about everything that happened.

Old Master Crawford looked at all this coldly. It was true that he was friends with Old Master Mallory, but he still had to take care of this matter.

Old Master Mallory called Pierre, but he still did not pick up the call.

He had no choice, so he said, "Call Percy. Ask him to bring Pierre, that bastard, back home. This is ridiculous."

"Yes." The butler heard him and excused himself to make the phone call.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to reach any of them," Old Master Crawford said.

"What do you mean." Old Master Mallory blinked his eyes. All his confidence was gone as he had been proven to be wrong.

Old Master Crawford said, "The woman your grandson kidnapped is Luca Craw. The police have already made the announcement. The police were there too when they went to rescue her today. The

two kidnappers Pierre hired were subdued by the police, and they're currently in the hospital. Tell me, will Pierre sit still and wait for the police to find him?"

Those policemen took this case seriously. They would know that the villa belonged to Pierre if they did a simple check on him.

Even if Pierre told them a different story, it would be difficult for him to run away from his responsibility. Moreover, they would eventually figure things out once they dug deeper into it.

Old Master Mallory fell silent.

After a while, the butler came over and said, "Old Master Mallory, Young Master Percy told me that he can't reach Young Master Pierre either. He has already sent his men to look for him, but it seems like the police have started to suspect Young Master Pierre. Do you think he's."

The butler did not finish his sentence as everyone present would be able to understand what he was talking about.

Old Master Crawford stood up and glanced sideways at the evidence on the table. “Mallory, sometimes, a kid will turn bad if you spoil him too much. Here's the point. This has nothing to do with the Mallory family. I'm only going against Pierre Mallory, and I hope you understand. But if you're covering up for him, don't blame me for making things hard for you."

It was them who started it. Old Master Mallory could not say anything about it.

Old Master Crawford did not come to have some tea. He turned around and left after telling Old Master Mallory the important and terrible things that he had to say.

Old Master Mallory looked at the file in front of him. He let out a sigh and ordered, "Send out men to look for that bastard."

"Old Master Mallory, Young Master Pierre is probably hiding somewhere. If we insist on bringing him back here, he might get arrested by the police before he manages to step into the house..." the butler said.

"Then just let it be. He committed a crime, and there's nothing wrong with the police arresting him. Look at what he's done. He's getting fearless now. How dare he set his eyes on the Crawford family? Find out the identity of the woman who was kidnapped and if she's seriously injured. It can't be that serious if they didn't call the ambulance. Then, find a good lawyer to handle the case. It won't take long to get him out of this."

Kidnapping was a serious case, but he could probably settle it if it were someone else. However, it turned out they had offended the Crawford family.

Luke seemed to care a lot about her.

Did he not have a wife already?

"Yes." The butler dared not to delay any longer and went to carry out orders right away.

At the hospital.

Luke sat on the couch and stared at the IV bag that dripped little by little into Luca's veins. There was a deathly silence in the air.

"Ow."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1634-When Luke noticed that Nina was not speaking for a while, he spoke again, “Is there anything you want to say?"

"Aren't you too concerned about Luca?" Nina narrowed her eyes and asked.

She admired Luca very much and treated her as a friend. However, Bianca was her friend too.

Therefore, she could not accept that something was going on between Luca and Luke.

Luke raised his brows and asked, "Why do you ask?"

"You're a married man. Although Bianca is abroad now, you can't do such terrible things to her because of that. Do you understand?" Nina warned him.

As Luke listened to her defending Bianca, he wondered what her reaction would be if she knew that Luca and Bianca were the same person.

However, he could not tell her about this now.

Luke replied, "Mind your own business."

"I don't mean to mind your business, but Luca is a good person. I don't want you to approach her too closely and get blamed for it." Nina clenched her fists. She was worried about Luke's mischievous attitude.

He did not say that he would not be loyal to Bianca, nor did he admit his feelings for Luca.

He was the second man whom she could not read the mind of.

"Are you behaving like this because you're concerned about Luca, or is it because you're protecting Bea?" When Luke saw her defending the same person, he agreed that Bianca had not made friends

with the wrong person.

That was why Percy was madly in love with Nina.

Percy always had women around him since he was young, especially those pretty ones. He had millions of women around him who were like Nina.

However, Luke had never seen him be so loyal to one person. He was even putting all his effort into making such big arrangements just to be together with Nina.

"Both. I'll tell Bianca about it if I notice that you have feelings for Luca or if the two of you are having an affair." Nina clenched her fists tightly.

Luke listened to her warning and ignored it.

Even if Nina was going to complain to Bianca about this, he was the one who was in charge of Bianca's account, not to mention that Luca's real identity was Bianca.

Luke put his hands in his pockets. “It's not completely your fault that Pierre kidnapped Luca this time."

Nina's attention was distracted by what he said. "Are there any other reasons?"

"Yes. He wanted to fight for the project that T Corporation is preparing to bid for. That's why he kidnapped Luca to threaten me," answered Luke.

Nina frowned when she heard that. "Pierre Mallory is crazy, and he's going against you. But why did he kidnap Luca? Don't tell me it's because of the two of you..."

"Nothing is going on between me and Luca," Luke said. He was not lying. They never had intimate contact with each other except for that night.

Nina nodded. "Did you ask the police to arrest that crazy man?"

"Every policeman in A City is looking for him, and the Mallory family is looking for him too." Luke was informed that Old Master Mallory and Percy had already sent their men to look for Pierre.

"I'm not going to forgive him this time!" There was hatred and resentment for Pierre in Nina's voice.

"He can't escape this time. But you have to be careful," Luke said, "Pierre might put up a final struggle if he finds you. Are you sure you still want to stay here and take care of Luca?"

Nina was slightly hesitant when he said that. However, it was her responsibility to take care of Luca.

Although Pierre kidnapped Luca to threaten Luke, he would not have targeted Luca if she had protected her back then.

"He won't know that I'll be in the hospital even if he wants to look for me. She's staying in the VIP ward too, and there's even a security guard here watching over us. I'll be fine taking care of Luca." At last, Nina decided to stay and take care of Luca.

Firstly, she would be able to keep an eye on Luke and stop him from doing anything with Luca.

Secondly, Luca had always looked out for her in everything she did. She would like to take this opportunity to repay her kindness.

Luke did not stop her after looking at how determined she was.

Both of them had finally come to an agreement.

Luke asked again, "Were you the one who sent Percy back that night?"

"How do you know about that?" Nina was almost unwilling to mention Percy.

"Just a guess." Luke's phone vibrated for a while. He glanced at it and said, "Percy isn't as terrible as you think he is. He was left with no choice for many things." Nina frowned. He was left with no choice?

What did Luke mean by that? Nina clenched her fists tightly. She was annoyed that Luke's words were messing her mind up.

She was good at running away from anything. However, she still felt uncomfortable when Luke mentioned the person she wanted to escape from the most.

"Enough. Let's stop talking about him. I don't want to mention him anymore. I'll stay in the hospital to take care of Luca tonight. You can go home if there's nothing else." Nina quickly chased him away after he mentioned Percy.

Luke pushed the door to the ward open and looked at Luca, who was still deeply asleep.

Nina added, “What are you looking at? Don't worry. She's my friend. I'll take good care of her."

Luke walked into the ward, headed to the side of the coffee table, and picked up the thermos flask. "I came in to get the thermos flask."

Nina was startled and remained silent.

Luke left with the thermos flask in his hands.

Nina watched him from behind, then she turned around and glanced at Luca. She let out a sigh.

She could sense that Luca seemed to have feelings for Luke as well, but they were not allowed to be together.

Nina would still choose to side with Bianca when the time came.

Nina picked up her phone as Bianca crossed her mind. She sent a message to Bianca. [How are you these days?]

After she sent the message, she glanced at the previous messages she had sent to Bianca. The last one and a half months ago, and it was a message she sent to check in with her. However, Bianca did not reply to her message.

Maybe it was true that people who lost their memories would change a lot...

Nina thought of the possible reasons why Bianca did not reply to her. Maybe she meant nothing to Binaca.

She looked at Luca who was asleep and pondered. Bianca was like a stranger to her after she lost her memories, while Luca, who appeared out of nowhere, gave her a sense of familiarity as if they had known each other for a very long time.

Nina glanced at the anti-inflammatory drip bag that was half done and sat on the couch. Then, she noticed there was an unread message on her phone.

It was a message from Anna.

She was asking Nina to send her some homemade soup.

Nina had no time to prepare the soup for her as she had to look after Luca. She replied to her immediately: [I'm busy today. I don't have time to make soup for you. Ask the caretaker to buy some for you at the hospital's canteen.]

Anna sent a long audio message to her after a while.

Nina did not listen to it because she knew it was an audio message of Anna scolding her.

She would always scold Nina and say terrible things to her if she refused to do whatever Anna ordered.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1636-Besides, although Percy was his biological elder brother, he was obviously closer to Luke.

Hence, Pierre was not counting on Percy to help him.

“I have to stay here for another night. Clean your room. I'm not used to staying in a messy room," Pierre ordered Liam like a boss.

Liam responded and stood up to clean up the master bedroom for Pierre. It was all for the sake of his business.

Pierre snubbed out the cigarette and took his time to make a call to Old Master Mallory.

The call was answered, and the old master immediately snapped at him from the other end of the call. "Pierre Mallory, where the hell have you been?"

"Grandpa, I'm drinking at a friend's house. Why? Did someone piss you off?" Pierre pretended to sound like he was tipsy and asked lazily.

The old master listened to him and spoke in a serious tone, "Who's that friend? You're hiding from the police now, aren't you? Come home now!"

"What did I do that I should hide from the police? I can't go back after drinking. I'm in the suburbs. I'm going to continue drinking, and I'll go home tomorrow. See you." Pierre hung up the phone after that. Go back home now? Impossible! He wanted to stay here for another night and go back home tomorrow.

Old Master Mallory listened to the busy tone on the other end of the call and sneered. "All you know is to run away. You're in big trouble this time. Let's see how much longer you can hide!"

Percy, who was sitting opposite him, frowned. "When is Pierre coming back home?"

"He told me he's drinking at a friend's house and he'll only come back home tomorrow. What nonsense is that? He's probably thinking of how to escape!" Even though Old Master Mallory wanted to cover up for Pierre, there was sufficient evidence to prove that he was involved. There was no way Old Master Mallory could help him.

He only wanted to get Pierre back home now. After that, he would find a way.

However, Pierre refused to come back no matter what!

"He said he's coming home tomorrow?" Percy understood at once. "Grandpa, you don't have to do anything."

"What do you mean?" Old Master Mallory looked at him, confused.

“If Pierre said he's coming home tomorrow, he'll definitely come back. There are people at every exit in A City keeping an eye out for him. He can't leave A City, so he can only come back here. If he's so sure that he's coming back home tomorrow, I'm afraid he has already figured out a way out for himself. He doesn't need your help at all," replied Percy.

The old master had asked Percy to come back home after Old Master Crawford came by.

Percy had been sitting on the couch the whole day, watching Old Master Mallory call the chief of police and arrange lawyers for Pierre. He was trying to make arrangements for Pierre.

However, after the lawyer and chief of police knew about everything that happened, they told him it was hard for them to help him. The old master was worried sick because of this. He had been trying to find a way to help Pierre with all his connections.

Old Master Mallory listened to Percy's words and sneered, "He only knows how to cause trouble. And you're telling me he found himself a way out? You've got to be kidding me."

"He wouldn't dare to call you if he hadn't figured out a way." Percy reminded him, saying, "Grandpa, don't forget that he set up a company of his own behind our backs."

Percy sent someone to investigate Pierre's company when he knew about it earlier. The establishment and the rules and regulations of the company had gone through all the legal procedures.

Pierre set up his own company without any help from the Mallory family.

He was no longer the sloppy man who only knew how to carry out the tasks assigned to him.

Percy had yet to find out the power behind Pierre, how much capital he had, and how many connections he had.

Old Master Mallory fell silent. Indeed, his grandson who had always been slacking off had suddenly set up his own company. He even did it without anyone in the Mallory family knowing about it. No one had ever mentioned this either.

It seemed like Pierre was not as useless as they thought he was...

Percy stood up and glanced at his phone. There were no notifications.

Nina had not approved his friend request.

He recalled the message that Luke sent him. Since Pierre had found a way to save himself, there was nothing else he could do here either. Thus, he rose.

Old Master Mallory looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Pierre has already solved the problem himself. I still have things to do at the office. I'll have to go back," answered Percy.

Old Master Mallory nodded and remembered what the daughter of the Johnston family had complained to him about. He reminded Percy. "It's nice to see you focusing on your career, but you have to spend some time with your fiancee too. Although she understands that you're busy with your work, you're a man. Remember that you have a family too."

"I care for my family a lot," Percy said seriously.

It was true. That was why he was planning something behind their backs.

He wanted a partner whom he chose for himself and who was recognized by him instead of someone arranged by the Mallory family.

Old Master Mallory could sense this and said, "Just wait until Pierre's problem is solved. As an elder brother, you should take the lead. Get married first, then Pierre will marry his fiancee too."

"Alright," Percy replied and walked out immediately.

It was already nighttime when he left.

Percy drove his car and headed to the hospital.

Luke told him that Nina would be taking care of Luca tonight. Hence, he would definitely see her when he went to visit Luca.

He could still force himself to focus on his plans when he could not meet her back then. After all, once the plan succeeded, he would be able to see Nina every day.

However, since the last time he saw her at Bibbler's Tale, his feelings that were initially able to be suppressed began to overflow uncontrollably.

He yearned for a glimpse of her.

Percy hit the accelerator and rushed to the hospital.

Luca had already woken up at this time. Nina was feeding her the cherry juice that Sue had brought.

Sue had brought Nina's daily necessities over as well as some food for her. They chatted for a while before Sue went back to take care of Kari and Teri, who were at home.

There was only Luca and Nina in the ward now.

Luca finished drinking the cherry juice with the straw. Then, she typed out on her phone: [Nina, I can take care of myself. You should go home.]

Nina shook her head with a stern look on her face. "Although Pierre kidnapped you to threaten Mr. Crawford, I'm to be blamed too. Pierre wouldn't have targeted you if it weren't for me. So, please let me stay and look after you. I'll feel better that way."

[But you can't sleep and eat well in the hospital. And you still have to go to work the next day. How are you going to handle it?” Luca looked at Nina's face. It seemed like she had gotten skinnier after not seeing her for a few days.

Nina smiled after she read the message on Luca's phone. "Don't worry. I'm not working at the moment. The company is busy with the designs now, and I have nothing to do with them. I don't have to go to the office. Maybe I'll head there and spend some time handling the documents but that's all. It won't take up too much time and effort."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1637-Luca listened to her and thought of the time when Sue and she were starting their business together back then.

Although it was hard for them, they enjoyed being productive.

When their company's development was getting better and better, as the company's founders, they were allowed to take some time off to handle their matters.

Luca wanted to turn back time so badly. She wanted to go back to the time when they worked hard together for their company.

[Alright, then you can accompany me tonight. I'll hire a caretaker to look after me tomorrow morning.] Luca was tapping on the keyboard of her phone screen.

Nina shook her head when she saw that.

Luca was the same as her. They were the kind of people who did not like to trouble others. Still, Luca was much stronger and more independent than she was.

"Alright. I'll look for a caretaker for you tomorrow. After all, I know who are the best caretakers in this hospital. I'll stay here tonight, so stop thinking of sending me away," Nina blinked her eyes and said playfully.

Luca nodded.

"Do you still want juice?" Nina asked again.

Luca shook her head and typed. [The juice that Sue made is good. You can have some too. I see that you've lost some weight.]

"I lost weight again? Hehe, really? Don't make fun of me. I think I'm gaining weight these days." Nina pinched her face intentionally and pretended as if it was nothing serious.

She knew she had lost weight.

She was skin and bones now. It was pointless to lose more weight.

[Drink some.] Luca listened to her and knew that she was merely mocking herself.

She just did not want others to know that she had gotten skinnier.

Nina nodded. "Fine. After all, you won't be able to finish all the juice that Sue made for you. The juice will taste bad once it has oxidized. I'll have some of it. But to be honest, that's how attentive a mother is. She knew it'd be inconvenient for you to eat now, so she made juice for you. She's so nice."

Luca nodded.

If meeting Luke was the best thing that ever happened to her in her whole life, then having Nina as her best friend was the second best thing that happened to her. Although she was staying beside Nina with a different identity now, she had never forgotten how it felt like to be her friend.

Nina opened the bottle of juice and poured it out into a glass.

Someone knocked on the ward's door when she was about to take a sip of it.

Luca and Nina looked in the direction of the door at the same time. The door was pushed open and Percy came in.

Nina pulled a long face when she saw that it was Percy. “Why are you here?"

Percy replied helplessly when he noticed that Nina seemed to be unhappy to see him as if he was not welcome here. "I came to visit Dr. Craw."

"Oh? Visit Dr. Craw? Are you that shameless?" Nina was like a porcupine on alert as she glared at Percy. She looked like she would roll over to him and prick him to death at any moment.

Percy asked helplessly, "Why would I feel ashamed?"

"You should be ashamed because your brother did this. Not only is he pestering me but Luca also ended up like this all because of him. He's a bastard. And what makes you think that you can show up here shamelessly?" Nina questioned him back.

"It was Pierre who did that, not me. Besides, he's my younger brother. If what he did is considered my fault too, then I'll apologize to Dr. Craw now. Do you have a problem with that too?" There was nothing Percy could do about this. He was even willing to take the blame for what Pierre did just to get a glimpse of Nina.

He went as far as taking the blame on behalf of Pierre just to see her.

"Why don't you look for your good brother rather than trying to apologize here? It would be better if you could hand him to the police. We don't need your insincere apology!" Nina was speaking in an aggressive tone as if the person who kidnapped Luca was in front of her right now.

Percy looked helpless. It was Pierre's fault, but he was the one getting blamed.

He was willing to take the blame as well, but this woman still treated him so aggressively.

He should be apologizing to Luca, but why was he apologizing to Nina? Besides, why did he want her to accept her apology?

Well, it was because he loved her!

Luca felt like she was a side character when she listened to their conversation. She tugged on Nina's sleeve helplessly and shook her head.

Knowing that Luca was asking her to forget about it, Nina was unable to accept it.

"Luca, these rich guys are always like this. They'll repeat the same mistakes if you forgive them so easily. And they'll continue to mess with you. That's why you can't let them get away with these things." Nina put her hands on her hips and released her anger on Percy. "Percy Mallory, if you really want to apologize to Luca, go look for your brother. Send him to the police and put him in jail!"

Percy shrugged. "I can't find him anywhere."

Nina thought he was covering up for Pierre, so she raised her voice angrily. "Don't come here if you can't find him. What kind of sh*tty apology is that? Is this how you apologize?"

Her words were getting on Percy's nerves. Percy replied, "I came to look for Luca yet you're the one who's been talking here. Are you Luca?"

Nina was startled. How dare he question her instead? She stuttered a little when she recalled how she had been speaking on behalf of Luca. "That's none of your business. You can't represent the criminal. So, what did you come here for?" "I came to see you." Percy looked at her straight in the eyes and poured his heart out. "You unfollowed me on Instagram."

"Is there a point in remaining friends with someone who has nothing to do with me?" Nina rolled her eyes when he mentioned something that she did on purpose. There was a pang of guilt in her heart, though the cause of it was unknown.

"Nina, are you afraid of me? You unfollowed me and didn't even approve my friend request. How dare you?" Percy noticed that she was avoiding eye contact with him, so he purposely asked that.

Triggering Nina had always worked, but whether it would be a positive outcome or not was a different matter.

Nina raised her voice after listening to what he said. "What nonsense are you talking about? I've never been afraid of you. What's so frightening about an insufferably arrogant person like you? I should be afraid of your devious and cunning younger brother instead."

Percy did not feel anything when she mentioned Pierre. Instead, he continued to trigger her. "Fine. Approve it if you're not afraid of me."

"Why should I approve it? Do I know you?" Nina's pitch went higher and higher.

Their voices grew louder and louder. Luca, who was half-lying on the bed, was watching them. She wondered if she should advise them. However, she could not talk now, and they would probably ignore her if she typed on her phone.

She should just let them be...

Nina had so many negative emotions suppressed in her. It would be good for her if she took this opportunity to let them out.

Luca thought so and left them to fight with each other.

However, they were so loud that they alerted the nurse at the nurse's station.

The nurse pushed the door, came in, and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you yelling so loudly?"

"Nurse, there's a man who came in to disturb the patient. Get him out of here," Nina seized the chance and said immediately.

Percy lifted the gift he was holding in his hand. "I'm here to visit the patient. You're the one who wants to kick me out. I'm not the one disturbing others."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1638-“Stop crying crocodile tears if you're here to visit the patient. Your younger brother is the one who made Luca's face like this. Nurse, this man is up to no good. Get him out of here," Nina said with a sharp voice.

The nurse helplessly looked at the two people who seemed to hate each other. She then turned to look at Luca. "What's wrong with them?"

Luca shook her head, telling her that she had no way to deal with them either. She would be able to convince them if she could talk. However, she could not talk now, and they were not reading the messages she typed on her phone.

The nurse stepped forward and stood in between them right away. "You're in the ward now. Go outside and you can argue as much as you like. The patient needs some quiet to rest."

Nina rolled her eyes with her arms crossed. She looked like she was disregarding what the nurse said. "Who wants to argue with him? I'm here to look after the patient. He's not welcome here. Who's to blame for that?"

"I came to visit Ms. Craw." Percy felt what he did earlier was childish. He now tried to reason with Nina in front of Luca.

He had never done that before. He felt embarrassed when the nurse stared at him. He put the fruit basket and supplements on the floor, turned to look at Luca, and said, "Ms. Craw, rest well."

Luca nodded her head.

Nina gave him a look that seemed to mean that she refused to talk to him anymore. Percy knew she would not approve his friend request no matter how much he said.

He could only wait for the next opportunity...

After Percy talked to Luca, he said to Nina, "You'll approve my friend request next time."

He left the ward after that.

The nurse left the ward too after Percy left.

Nina glanced at the door when she heard it close, then she said, "Pfft, I'll be an idiot if I approve your friend request."

Luca knocked on the bedside table.

Nina stood up and came beside her. "What's the matter? Are you thirsty? Do you want to eat something?"

Luca shook her head and typed a sentence on her phone. [Don't be so sure about that. You might just eat your own words.]

Nina was startled for a moment, then she retorted immediately, “Luca, why are you telling me this too? I'm not talking big. I'm just confident. And I have nothing to do with him anymore."

[But I can see that you're concerned about Mr. Mallory. Why are you fighting with him if you care about him?] Luca questioned her back.

"I hate him. When you run into someone you hate, you won't only argue with them but you'll fight with them too. If it isn't because I can't win him in a fight, I would've punched him in the face just now." Nina tapped and held the delete button on the phone screen, deleting what Luca typed just now. "You're the patient here. You don't have to be concerned about so many things. Take a good rest. Forget about Percy."

[No, I can't stand seeing you lying to yourself while deceiving others.] Luca typed another line of text. She was destined to live an unhappy life, but she hoped that Nina could live happily.

Percy had a strong family background. Eventually, he would find a way to protect her if he truly loved her.

Nina looked at what Luca had typed and muttered, "You weren't bribed by his fruit basket, were you? You're even backing him up now. Well, let me get you a glass of water. I'll give you a sponge bath after that, alright?"

Luca nodded.

Nina turned around and walked into the bathroom. She picked up a washtub and filled it with water. She was thinking about what had happened just now.

Did Percy really come to visit Luca?

Why did he ask her about his friend request if he really came to visit Luca?

Could it be that he knew she was here, so he used Luca as an excuse to see her?

As Nina listened to the sound of water running, she suddenly had the urge to know the answer.

She picked up her phone, planning to look at the friend request she received on Instagram again. Suddenly, a news notification popped out.

'Master Percy of the Mallory family is getting married to the daughter of the Johnston family soon.

According to insider news, the two families will unite through marriage.'

Nina felt the blood in her body begin to flow backward when she saw it.

She tapped on the news notification numbly and confirmed that the headline was not clickbait created by the website to simply garner traffic. The content was relevant to the headline, and the news article also stated that the insider was someone related to the Mallory family.

Nina's hand was slightly shivering, and she smiled mockingly.

How ridiculous. Just a few moments ago, she thought Percy came here to ask for peace, and she even thought that he still had feelings for her.

She did not expect...

"Percy Mallory, you're a bastard!" Nina swore as she opened her Instagram and tapped on the reject request button.

She lifted her head and looked in the mirror. Her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to burst into tears. The news crushed her, and she was completely breaking down at this moment.

She thought she was not in love with Percy and that he did not love her either.

However, after seeing him twice, she got the wrong impression that Percy was actually in love with her. She thought he probably had his own reason for agreeing to marry the daughter of the Johnston family.

Right now...

How funny was it.

How could a man be in love with her if he was going to marry someone else?

Nina looked at herself in the mirror, and she could see why she was breaking down. It was all because of Percy.

It was because she was in love with Percy.

How could she still be in love with Percy? He was mean, and he was a player. He had so many flaws.

In her previous relationship, she was coerced, imprisoned, and trapped.

How did she fall in love with a man like that?

Nina covered her face with her hands when she realized she was still in love with Percy.

She thought she had left the relationship dashingly, but after her true feelings were suddenly exposed, she started to feel lost. She was unable to face it.

Percy was getting married to the daughter of the Johnston family. What was she supposed to do.

It was not easy for her to fall in love with a man. Now, everything was telling her that the man she loved was not in love with her.

Nina's tears streamed down her face.

The washtub was overflowing with water. The water had spilled onto the floor, and her feet were wet.

Nina moved her hands and looked at the washtub full of water. She suddenly had the urge to stick her face into the washtub full of water.

However, she could not do that.

Luca was still waiting for her out there. She was the one who caused Luca to experience such a traumatic incident.

There was Anna and Jean as well, who were like vampires sucking every penny out of her.

Nina tried to calm down, and she looked at herself in the mirror. Although her eyes were red, she still looked somewhat normal.

She put her phone back into her pocket. Then, she poured some water out of the washtub.

She picked up the washtub and walked out of the bathroom.

Luca was holding her phone. She had seen the news too. Then, she watched Nina walk in and noticed that her eyes were red. She quietly let out a sigh.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1639-Nina noticed the changes in Luca's gaze. She looked like she wanted to comfort her. Nina placed the washtub on a chair and wet the towel.

"Luca, Percy is getting married to the daughter of the Johnston family," Nina said sentimentally.

Luca nodded her head, telling her that she knew about it.

Nina spoke again, "I wonder why he came to the hospital to mess with me if he's going to marry the daughter of the Johnston family?"

She probably would not have seen the truth if she had not met him this time and Luca was not here to enlighten her.

Luca lifted her hand and stroked her head.

Nina was startled. This gesture...

When she was still close with Bianca back then, they would stroke each other's heads to comfort each other if one of them was feeling sad. It was to show that they still had each other.

[Maybe there are some things that Mr. Mallory hasn't told you.] Luca hinted at her.

Nina looked at the words on the phone screen and smiled. “Yes, he didn't tell me he was going to marry the daughter of the Johnston family.”

Luca was stunned. That was not what she meant.

She looked at Nina, but it seemed like she did not notice it.

Luca was struggling in her heart whether she should tell Nina that Percy might have his reasons and plans.

However, she could not tell her right away.

It was because Nina was impulsive. She had finally realized that her feelings for Percy were not as simple as she thought they were. Once she told her that Percy probably had his own plans, Nina would dash out of the hospital to ask him about it.

Percy had not told anyone about his plan. That only indicated that the plan was meant to be kept a secret.

That was why he did not tell Nina about it either.

When she thought of this, Luca allowed Nina to misunderstand what she meant.

After all, Percy would certainly pursue Nina once he was done with his plan. However, it would be harder for him to get Nina back in the future after everything that he did to upset Nina.

Percy was a good man with an indomitable will. He would still pursue Nina even if it was hard.

Nina sniffed and saw that Luca was not typing anymore. She picked up the towel, wrung it, and said, "Alright. Let's not talk about him. He's just an *sshole. He's just getting married, isn't he?" Come on, let me wipe your body."

Luca shook her head and pointed at the door.

It dawned on Nina that she had not closed the door. "Oh, I haven't closed the door. Look at me. How silly of me^"

She hurriedly went to close the door and pulled the curtains. Then, she began to wipe Luca's body.

On the other hand.

Percy had just reached the parking lot when he felt his phone vibrate for a while. He glanced at it, and it was a notification from Instagram.

He could not help but smile. Could it be that Nina had approved his request?

He opened his Instagram application and looked at it. The smile on his face disappeared. It was indeed a notification from Nina, but she did not approve his friend request. She rejected it instead.

At most, Percy thought Nina would not approve it. He did not expect her to reject him.

He was angry. Then, he sent another request to her. This time, Instagram notified him that he had been blocked, so he was unable to send any more requests to her. "What a heartless woman!" Percy was pissed off. Not only did she reject him but she had even blocked him now?

He desperately wanted to head back there and reason with her, but when he thought about how he had just made her angry, he shook his head helplessly. Never mind, he would ask her to unblock him next time.

After all, he had been together with Nina for so many years. He already knew what kind of person she was.

She would understand it if he explained to her after everything was settled.

Percy got back into his car and switched on the news broadcast. He frowned when he heard the contents.

They were reporting about his marriage to the daughter of the Johnston family...

Percy picked up his phone immediately and opened a website. He saw the news headline on top of the website.

Sure enough, his engagement to the daughter of the Johnston family was no longer a secret from the media. However, they had never told the public that their marriage would be regarded as a union between the families of the bride and groom.

Where did the news come from?

The only person who came into Percy's mind was Old Master Mallory.

He made a call to Old Master Mallory.

"Were you the one who spread the news?" Percy sounded a little harsh.

"Yes, I was the one who asked them to spread the news. The Johnston family agreed to it as well," Old Master Mallory replied to him slowly. "Your younger brother's case is too big now. Although the police haven't concluded their investigation, they already see Pierre as the mastermind. I'm spreading the news about you and the daughter of the Johnston family to divert the public's attention. It'll be easier for Pierre this way."

Percy listened to how the old master had made him the hot topic for Pierre's sake. He frowned and said in a serious tone, “Even if Pierre can handle this well and escape from his legal responsibilities, do you think the Crawford family is going to let him get away with it?”

“Since he has escaped from his legal responsibilities, that'll prove Pierre had nothing to do with the case. The reports will only show that he established a company all by himself and he didn't do anything to steal others' businesses. Old Master Crawford said that it's all about one's capabilities when it comes to business. Even if Pierre wanted to steal T Corporation's business, what's wrong with it? He has his own way of doing things.” Although Old Master Mallory said he would never let Pierre get away with it, Pierre was still his grandson, after all. He truly loved him.

“Grandpa, you're spoiling Pierre. I hope you won't regret it if he takes things too far the next time.” Percy was disappointed in the old master.

The old master had been training him to become his heir all along, and he was strict to him.

He was more lenient with Pierre.

Although what Pierre did this time was wrong, the old master got to know what he had been doing behind his back and thought Pierre was capable of managing a company.

Hence, that was why the old master changed his mind.

He even asked the Johnston family to cooperate with him to divert the public's attention.

Percy slammed the steering wheel hard after he hung up the call.

It was not because he was worried about the old master releasing the news to the public. After all, his marriage to the daughter of the Johnston family would never work out. It did not matter whether it was disclosed to the public or not. Eventually, everyone would know that they had broken up.

What annoyed him was that Nina had probably seen the news too and that was why she blocked him.

Percy made a call with a gloomy expression on his face.

The call was answered, and he gave his orders, “Analyze the original voice of the audio no matter what it takes.”

“Yes,” the person on the other end of the call answered.

Percy sent a message to Luke after he hung up the phone. [The old master isn't planning to hold Pierre accountable for what he's done. And it seems like Pierre has found a way to clear his name. I can't

intervene in this matter anymore. You'll need to work on your own. I'll send the audio to you once the original voice is separated."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1640-Luke looked at the message Percy sent him. He had a profound look in his eyes.

He had expected it. Pierre was unlike other people. He was difficult to deal with.

After all, he was Old Master Mallory’s grandson, and he was similar to the old master.

Luke sunk into his executive chair and pondered what his next move would be. This time, he had finally fallen out with Pierre. He would turn against him openly if he got away with it this time.

He was not afraid that Pierre would retaliate. It was just that he was afraid Pierre would go after Luca.

During the incident this time, Luke lost his self-control and showed too much concern for Luca.

Once a person showed their weakness, the enemy would seize it and never give them a chance to breathe again.

The study’s door was pushed open. Thud, thud, thud. Tommy ran in with his short legs and walked to Luke's side. He lifted his head and looked at him. "Daddy."

"Yes?" Luke’s thoughts were interrupted. He put down his phone, looked at his son, and gave him a faint smile.

No matter how difficult things were for him, he would always show his children the tender side of him.

He had to protect his children well regardless of how chaotic the outside world was. This was what Bianca had told him back then.

Tommy wanted to crawl up onto Luke’s lap, but it dawned on him that he had already grown up and was not a kid anymore. He had become heavier. Hence, he changed his mind and asked right away, "Daddy, Great-grandpa asked how Mom... Ms. Luca is now?"

Luke’s expression turned serious when he noticed that his son made a mistake. He reminded his son, saying, "She’s still in the hospital now. The doctor says there’s no big problem with her other than the injuries on her face. Don’t worry. And be careful when you’re talking next time. You mustn't let anyone know about this."

Tommy nodded. He was missing Luca so much, which was why he accidentally said it out loud. Then, he spoke again, "I know, Daddy. Can you bring me to see her tomorrow?"

"No." Luke rejected him immediately without hesitation.

Tommy was unhappy to hear that. "Why can’t I?"

"Because she needs a good rest. She can't be disturbed." Luke used this trick to deal with the child.

“Daddy, I won't disturb Ms. Luca. Please bring me along with you. I'll be good, and I'll stand still. I won't move or say anything." Tommy put on a bitter expression on his face. He was trying to convince his dad to bring him along.

Luke still shook his head firmly, disagreeing with what Tommy said.

Tommy knew there was nothing else he could do here. Hence, he muttered, "She's injured, and we're worried about her too. Daddy, you don't understand how anxious we are. Never mind, I'll ask Greatgrandpa to bring me there if you won't bring me. Great-grandpa likes me, and he likes Ms. Luca too. He'll definitely say yes."

He ran out of the room after he said that. He would really plead with anyone just to see Luca.

Luke shook his head helplessly while he watched his child from behind.

Luca's phone rang when it was ten o'clock at night. She glanced at it. It was a video call request from Tommy. She hesitated for a few seconds and tapped on the reject button.

"Why? Did someone call you?" Nina noticed and asked.

Luca was typing on the keyboard on her phone. [Tommy requested a video call.]

"Why didn't you pick up the call?" Nina asked again. She knew Luca was close to Tommy, and it was because of that that she was even more worried that Bianca would lose her status when she came back.

After all, Luke and the children were getting closer to Luca. Bianca, who was suffering from memory loss, would then be kicked out of the family.

[I look awful now. I'm afraid I'll scare the kid.] Luca explained. Her face was shockingly swollen, and she was reluctant to meet the children like this.

"What's wrong with that? They're sensible, and they'd love to get close to you. You're not going to scare them away just because of your current appearance," Nina replied.

Luca shook her head and insisted.

Nina thought it would be better if she chose to keep quiet. She thought about how different Luca's feelings for the children were.

Moreover, the children seemed like be fond of Luca more than Bianca, who was overseas...

She could keep an eye on Luke to make sure that he did not do anything to upset Bianca. However, she could not control the kids.

It was because their love was much more simple than adults.

Luca looked at Nina, who was lost in her thoughts. Then, she glanced at the time and typed a message: [It's late. How about getting some rest?]

Nina shot a glance at the time. It was earlier than a person's usual sleeping time. However, Luca was a patient now. She stood up and said, "Alright, then let me switch off the lights and TV for you."

Luca nodded.

When Nina picked up the remote and was about to switch off the TV, she saw the news broadcast talking about Percy's marriage to the daughter of the Johnston family.

Her face darkened, then she switched off the TV while secretly calling him a loser.

Luca was sensitive enough to notice the changes in Nina's emotions, but she did not say anything.

Percy started it, so he would handle the matter himself.

There was dead silence in the ward in the middle of the night. Luca opened her eyes when she heard some noises.

She could hear that there was another noise apart from Nina's breathing.

Luca was lying flat down. She did not sit up straight when she heard the noise.

At last, she was able to confirm that the noise did not come from inside the ward. It came from the corridor outside the ward. Someone was standing there.

She listened to the person's breathing rate. It did not sound like the nurses were walking around for a ward round. Someone was standing still at the ward's door as if he was inspecting something.

Fortunately, she was able to see where the door was from her view.

Luca stared at the door and held her breath.

That person was breathing heavily. It did not seem to be a woman. It should be a man.

Was it someone whom Percy sent?

If it turned out to be one of Percy's men, she would not be afraid of them. However, she was physically weak now. Moreover, Nina was here too...

Luca lifted her hand and placed her finger on the patient safety alarm. She could inform the nurse on duty immediately if something was wrong.

The door was pushed open.

Although it was the VIP ward, the door was not locked as the doctors and nurses would do ward rounds at night.

Luca could see a figure walking into the ward in the dark.

Her heart was racing. When she was about to press the alarm, she heard that person asking her, “Is this Ivana?"

Luca withdrew her finger from the alarm button. It was someone from the Island of Despair.

It was almost time for her to take the antidote, but she was in the hospital.

The news that she was kidnapped was all around the city. The people at the stronghold here would have known about it too.

Luca was planning to inform the people from the Island of Despair to send the antidote to her after she hired a caretaker. She did not expect them to come here before she could inform them.

The man had already stepped into the ward. Even though he was in a dark environment, he was still able to see everything clearly. He glanced at Nina who was deeply asleep and walked toward the ward

bed.

"This is the antidote for this month." The man lowered his voice to prevent Nina from waking up.

Luca took it from him. It was inconvenient for her to drink it from the vial.

The man frowned when she did not do anything. He asked in an impatient voice, "Why aren't you drinking it?
