Ch. 1761..1770

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1761-Luca stood by the door and watched as Luke carefully put Tommy on the bed. She glanced around the bedroom and noticed that there was a kid’s table, bedding, and thick carpet. It must have taken a lot of work to prepare all these.

She was not angry about it, but the turbidity in her heart became stronger.

Luke had confessed to her, and it turned out he had not given up even after not getting the answer he wanted.

She was like a fish that unknowingly swam into the trap he set, foolishly thinking that he had given up on her.

Luca took another look at the guest bedrooms. There was Lanie’s room, Rainie’s room, and the guest bedroom opposite the master bedroom...

She opened the door and saw the black, white, and gray interior as well as the large bed and the office desk. She immediately knew that this was the bedroom Luke had prepared for himself.

It was just opposite her bedroom. They would bump into each other when they stepped out of their rooms.

Luca shook her head.

After Luke tucked Tommy in, he stepped out and closed the door.

"Mr. Crawford, can we talk downstairs?" Luca said.

Luke nodded.

Luca went downstairs with him and stood in the middle of the living room. She was amused as she looked up at the dazzling crystal chandelier.

She was tricked by Luke and she did not find out until it was too late. She really thought they were celebrating her moving in...

"Mr. Crawford, if you want to move in with the kids, I can move back to the apartment. If it’s inconvenient for me to live in the company's apartment, I have no problem going back to my own apartment," Luca said. She did not know how to describe her feelings after she knew that Luke had not given up on her.

Luke noticed how serious she was and knew she was not joking. He knew that if he nodded, she would leave right away.

"The kids like you. The troubles at Crawford Manor are piling up. It's not good for the kids' development, so I decided to move here. I knew you wouldn't agree, so I decided to make a move and ask for permission later." Luke confessed.

"You still want me to stay here? Is that appropriate?" Luca clenched her fists. She was not angry. She just felt powerless.

Luke nodded. "The kids like you. It's appropriate."

"I don't think so. It's not appropriate at all. Mr. Crawford, it's best that I move out. If we get photographed by reporters, both of us will be embarrassed. We should keep a safe distance." Luca wanted to live with him too, but she knew that she could not hold onto that dream. novelbin

She would have to leave sooner or later. If she dared to imagine a life of them being together, she was afraid that she would not be able to bring herself to leave when the time came.

Luke frowned when he saw how determined and heartless she was. He said, "I can tell that you like them a lot. If you leave them so heartlessly, they'll be very disappointed. What I told you before is not a joke, Luca. You shouldn't run away. You should think about it carefully.”

"The answer I gave you before is not a joke either. Although you think I haven't thought about it carefully, it's what I feel from the bottom of my heart." Luca calmed down and acted as though her decision was firm.

Luke raised his eyebrows and responded, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Luca took a deep breath, endured the stabbing pain she felt in her heart. She deceived both herself and him.

In fact, she wanted to hug Luke and stay by his side more than anything.

"You're lying. Your eyes tell me that you're making this up. What a fool. I'll give you a night to think about it. You can decide if you dislike me and the kids..." Luke looked at her tough attitude and was tempted to tell her the truth about how he already knew everything.

However, he held back with consideration of her safety.

Luca's body trembled involuntarily. She knew that he was pushing it. She said, "Frankly, I do like the kids but I can't stay by your side because of them. I can't force myself to like you because of the kids."

What she said was hurtful. It still hurt even though Luke knew it was not the truth.

He was someone who dealt with his feelings with incomparable coldness. Nevertheless, he had fallen for her time and time again.

Luke was even tempted to tie her up until she was willing to admit the truth!

"I'll give you a night to think about it," Luke said, then walked upstairs.

Lanie, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, heard their entire conversation. When he saw his father leave, he shook his head helplessly.

Luke looked at his son's expression, his mood was ashen. He had overestimated Luca's soft heart. She would make all kinds of sacrifices for the kids but when it came to him, she would bury all her sensibility and force herself to be rational.

Lanie made a gesture to tell Luke to leave the matter to him.

Luke did not say anything and went upstairs.

Lanie followed behind Luke. He had to pretend he did not hear the conversation between the grownups.

Luca watched as the man's figure left her sight and adjusted her breathing. When Luke said what he said earlier, she was on the brink of breaking down. For a fleeting moment, she wanted to be impulsive and tell him everything, including Abel's conspiracy and how he was forcing her.

If Luke learned everything and rescued Nyla, she could risk her life and cherish the rest of her time with them.

However, what she wanted more was to live with the children for a long time, to watch them grow up, and stay by their sides as they started their own families.

As such, no matter what, she could only do as Abel said and could not afford to act rashly.

Luca went upstairs, depressed.

As soon as she walked into her bedroom and sat down on her bed, there was a knock on her door.

"Ms. Luca, can I come in?" Lanie's voice came from outside the door.

Luca said, "Come in."

Lanie opened the door and walked in.

Luca adjusted the expression on her face and asked with concern, "What's wrong? It's getting late, why aren't you in bed?"

"I'm different from my younger siblings. Although I think that Grandma is scary, she doesn't impact me much." Lanie stood in front of her and said, "Ms. Luca, can I sit down?"

"Of course," Luca nodded.

Lanie sat next to her and said, "Ms. Luca... Daddy likes you very much."

"You're a kid. How do you know all this? Besides, this is your Daddy's matter. Maybe it's not what you think it is," Luca said while rubbing his head.

Lanie shook her head and said, "He likes you. Before Mommy lost her memories, Daddy treated her just like he how he treats you now, Ms. Luca."

"You're still young, so you can't don't know chalk from cheese." Luca pinched his nose and looked at his facial features. She was filled with emotions.

Of the three children, he was the most like Luke.

"I do know, and I also know that my mommy is gone. Rainie and Tommy are aware of it as well but we didn't say anything to the public so no woman would hit on Daddy." Lanie leaned his head on her arm. He also wanted to feel the warmth from being in his Mommy's arms after seeing Tommy do it.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1762-Luca wrapped Lanie in her arms. She understood what the kids were thinking.

"Do you see me as one of those women as well?" she asked cautiously, worried that she would be hurt to hear from Lanie that the kids did not like her.

Lanie raised his head and looked at her with a firm gaze. "No, all of us like you, Ms. Luca. I don't know why but we've always thought that you're affectionate and love us as our Mommy did. If it's possible, we hope to be able to live with you for the days to come. Ms. Luca, although our daddy seems cold, he treats his lover gently and wholeheartedly. Rainie and I can guarantee it."

Luca noticed how Lanie was promoting Luke. She smiled and gently pinched his hand. "You like me but you're still young. You can't tell what kind of liking it is."

"We feel that whenever we see you, it's like seeing our mommy. Ms. Luca, Daddy likes you very much and we like you very much too. Think about it. Don't reject Daddy just like that," Lanie said sincerely.

Luca felt disconcerted after hearing what Lanie said.

They liked her and she liked them.

How could a mother not love her children?

Nevertheless, they were in close proximity but were unable to acknowledge each other...

Luca sighed and replied, "You don't understand—"

"I know, I'm young and don't know anything. However, trust that what I said is true. Rainie, Tommy, and I have thought about whether we would be unhappy if you were to become our mother. In the end, we found that we were able to accept it. Ms. Luca, even if you and Daddy can't be together, we all hope that we can see you every day. Please don't move out..." Lanie rarely acted pampered with her.

Luca could not turn him down when she saw how Lanie acted. She said, "Give me some time to think about it, okay?"

"Okay, Ms. Luca. Even if you don't like Daddy, we're so cute. There's no way you don't like us. If you don't stay with us, we'll be miserable. I'm sure you've seen a lot of news on TV and in newspapers about how babysitters abuse children, right? You wouldn't have the heart to put us in that situation, will you?" Seeing that she did not agree right away, Lanie knew that he had to keep a hold on Luca.

Luca was speechless, it was true that she would never put them in situations as such.

Lanie continued talking, "If we stay in Crawford Manor, it'll be fine since Great-grandpa is there, so the maids won't dare to do anything to us. However, if Daddy comes home late from working overtime, we only have the maids there to take care of us. Daddy says that he won't have the maids from Crawford

Manor take care of us anymore because Grandma is back and needs people to take care of her. As such, he plans to hire a maid from outside, which means that a stranger might enter our home. The possibility of us being abused is higher."

Luca knew that Lanie was trying to force her hand and thought that no one would dare to abuse such a smart kid.

If they were abused, they definitely would not let it go. They would tell Luke.

Luca could not bear looking at how miserable Lanie appeared. She knew that he was doing it to keep her around. She sighed and said, "Okay, let me think about it."

In the past, the one who was the least affectionate to her was Lanie.

Therefore, Luca never knew whether Lanie liked her. However, after she heard his speech, she knew that Lanie's attachment to her was no less than that of the other two children.

It was just that he was the eldest among the grandchildren of Old Master Crawford, so he had to appear mature and not show many emotions.

The reality was that they were all just children.

"Okay, Ms. Luca. You must think about it clearly. Don't be difficult as the other adults. Tell us how you truly feel. There’s no point in being difficult, don't you think?" Lanie said with a serious expression.

Luca did not expect that she would be schooled by his son.

However, she was put in a difficult position. Which adult was not?

Life as an adult was not that easy after all.

After she sent Lanie off, Luca closed the door, walked into the ensuite bathroom, washed up, and sat down on the bed.

What Luke and Lanie said kept ringing in her ears. She snapped out of it when her phone rang.

Luca looked at her phone and found that Amur was calling.

She answered the call. "Amur, it's so late, why haven't you gone to bed?"

"You’re awake too." Amur looked at his computer screen. His surroundings were pitch-black, and he looked slightly petrifying with the computer's light shining on his face. novelbin

"I just laid down and am ready to go to bed. Did something happen?" Luca asked.

"I've been looking for Nina," Amur said, "And I've found something."

Luca immediately sat up and said in surprise, "So fast?"

"Luca, don't forget that there are many informants from the Island of Despair in A City. Those informants can provide more clues than Luke and Percy's men." Amur was a little proud. Although it may seem like he was on the losing end when compared to Luke, he had strengths that Luke could not compare to as well.

After his reminder, Luca knew that Amur had made use of the informants from the Island of Despair in A City.

However, it does not matter.

After all, it was Amur who engaged them, not her. Hence, it would not attract much attention from Abel...

"When’s the soonest you can find her?" Luca asked.

"I'm already tracking her now and if it goes well, I'll be able to find her early tomorrow," Amur replied.

Luca kept silent for a while. She thought of telling Amur not to hurry and get some rest. However, she thought of how Nina's life was in danger the longer she was in Pierre's hands. She did not want to take the risk.

"Thank you for your hard work. If you find Nina, don't act alone. Just make an anonymous call to Percy, tell him Nina's whereabouts, and watch quietly from behind the scenes." Luca reminded him, not wanting Amur to be directly involved.

Now that Luke knew about Amur's existence and thought he was her younger brother, Luke would be suspicious if Amur showed his hand.

"I know what to do." Amur glanced at the time and found that it was getting late. He reminded her. "It's getting late. Go to bed and wait for my good news tomorrow."

"Okay." Luca believed in his ability to find someone and hung up the phone.

She was lying on the bed, but her mind was full of Luke's and Lanie's words earlier. At the same time, she was worried about Nina.

She turned sideways, took out the medicine from the bedside table, and swallowed one.

If she did not take any medicine, she was doomed to have another sleepless night.

After she took the medicine, Luca put the bottle back in the drawer of the bedside table. She lay straight and quietly waited for the sleepiness to hit her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1763-The next day, Luca checked her phone as soon as she woke up.

She had nightmares the entire night. She dreamt of being forced to separate from Luke and her children. She also dreamt of Nina being brutally abused by Pierre.

The dreams made her feel suffocated...

Luca looked at her phone. There was a text sent 11 minutes ago. She opened it immediately.

Amur had texted her. He said that he found the place where Nina was being held hostage and he was already creating an anonymous phone software. He would notify Percy as soon as he was done.

Luca got up immediately and replied: [Have you notified Percy?]

Amur responded: [Give me five minutes.]

Luca understood that it meant that the software would take another five minutes to complete. Amur could only notify Percy after the anonymous phone software was made so that he would not be discovered.

One's phone number had to be registered with one's real name. As such, Percy could still find Amur even if he registered for a new number to notify him about Nina's whereabouts.

Luca's heart settled a little. She thought that things would get better now that they were close to finding where Nina was being held. She believed that Percy would come up with a plan to rescue Nina soon.

Luca suddenly remembered that the kids had spent the night here, so she washed up immediately, changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs.

As long as they were staying with her, she would prepare food for the children.

Luca opened the door and glanced at the doors of the guest bedrooms. They were still closed. It seemed that everyone was still sleeping.

She gently walked downstairs and was stupefied when she saw Luke sitting on the sofa.

Luke turned his head to look at her.

Luca bit the bullet and greeted him, "Mr. Crawford, good morning."

"We're at home now. You can be a little more casual," Luke said.

'Casual?' Luca thought about it. It would be better for her to continue referring to him as Mr. Crawford. The two of them had nothing to do with each other. It would be inappropriate to call him by his name.

She thought of Nina. After Percy found out where Nina was, she was certain that he would inform Luke and get his help. She did not say anything and went into the kitchen immediately.

Yesterday, she bought some bread for herself. She only needed to toast the bread, fry some eggs, and warm the milk in the microwave to make a quick breakfast for the family.

She would likely be able to get it sorted before Luke had to make a move. novelbin

Luca rolled up her sleeves and started preparing breakfast. Five minutes later, a simple breakfast was ready.

While Luca was busy in the kitchen, she kept a close ear on what was going on in the living room.

After a while, Luke's phone rang.

Shortly after, he walked into the kitchen and said, "I'm heading out. The cleaning lady will come over a little later today. Please keep an eye on her for me."

"Have some breakfast before you go. I made some sandwiches," Luca said. She thought that it would be inconvenient for Luke to eat the ingredients separately so she made two sandwiches for him.

Luke looked at the simple breakfast, nodded, picked up one of the sandwiches, and finished it in two to three bites. He raised his glass and finished the milk. He then picked up the other sandwich.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "Percy may have news about Nina. I'm heading out to lend him a hand but don't have your hopes up. We're just checking out a plausible lead."

"Go on. I'll take care of the kids." Luca nodded.

With her promise, Luke wholeheartedly trusted her with the kids and left with the sandwich.

Luca stood by the window and watched Luke drive away. She was lost in thought.

‘Nina should be safe now...'

After Luke left the villa, he drove to the location provided by Percy and met up with him.

His men had been waiting there for a long time. At the same time, Percy's men were also waiting there. It was a lively scene as soon as the men from both sides met. If others did not know, they would have thought that the bodyguards were there in preparation for the arrival of someone famous.

"Are you sure that the tip is reliable?" Luke asked.

"I'm not sure but my men have checked out the area. There's a sophisticated security system set up around the villa. At the same time, there are security guards on duty every few meters. I suspect that Nina is inside," Percy said. He had sent someone to investigate and found that the villa was indeed suspicious.

"The villa belongs to your mother?" Luke asked. His men had already searched for all the villas under Percy's name but they did not find anything.

As such, they had not found anything until now.

Percy nodded and replied, "I didn't expect him to be so bold and hide her in the villa under our mother's name. Isn't he worried that the Mallory family will be affected if something happens?"

Luke reminded him, saying, "If Pierre can start a company to compete with Mallory Corporation for business, do you think he would be worried about something like this? Your mother has always favored him. Even though this villa is in her name, there's a chance that she gave it to Pierre long ago. That's why he dared to do such things."

Percy nodded in agreement. The Pierre he knew now was no longer the younger brother he could easily control back then.

Percy knew that he was Madam Mallory's favorite, so he acted arrogant and unscrupulous in the Mallory family.

After what happened with Luca last time, he learned his lesson and avoided keeping hostages in the villas under his name.

"Do you have the floor plan?" Luke asked.

"I have it on hand. There's only one exit, so it's easy to make a move. We first need to get rid of the people outside the house. The people inside will be easy to deal with," Percy said. The people guarding outside the house looked like elites but they were nothing in comparison to Luke's men.

If they could not fight one-on-one, they would take them on two-on-one. There were more of Percy and Luke's men compared to Pierre's.

"Okay, I'll go along with your plan. I don't know if Pierre will hurt Nina when pushed into the corner, so it's better to be cautious and try to deal with the men outside without alerting those who are inside." Luke reminded him.

It was Percy's woman, so Luke would gladly let Percy take charge of the situation while he would just follow from behind.

"Let's wait for another five minutes," Percy said.

Luke did not say anything and just waited silently.

Five minutes later, Percy's men came over and whispered, "Boss, we've checked the infrared detector and found that there are not many people inside. The security guards seem to be concentrated outside the house. As soon as we deal with the men outside, it'll be easy to manage the situation inside."

"Okay, just follow what I said just now. Everyone should take their corresponding positions now. Let's go." Percy made a move and the group dispersed after they heard his instructions.

The plan was for them to approach the villa from different directions and take down the bodyguards guarding outside. Preferably, they would do it at the same time so as not to alert those inside the house.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1764-In the villa.

Nina was groggy. A needle was inserted into the back of her hand. The nutrition solution was delivered into her body through her veins.

She still refused to eat, so she got so weak that she was ill with a fever.

After they administered the fever-reducing injection, the female doctor adjusted the speed of the nutrition infusion and looked at the male doctor. "Why don't we leave the needle in? If her fever doesn't go away, she'll have to go for an intravenous infusion at noon and another bag of nutrition solution later. I'm afraid the boss won't be happy if we keep stabbing her."

The male doctor looked at Nina, then at the maid. He left the decision to her. “Do you think we should leave the needle in?”

The maid replied in an indifferent tone, "Do you dare to do so? She's not a mental patient yet has to be restricted by a straitjacket. After you're done with the infusion, you have to loosen the straitjacket. Can you guarantee that she won't hurt herself using the needle after we leave?"

The male doctor nodded in agreement. "If she tries anything, we'll never hear the end of it from the boss."

"However, these needles..." The female doctor frowned when she thought of how Nina's hands were densely packed with needles.

"Don't worry. She won't stay stubborn for much longer. Her arrogance will be worn away quickly. You'll be done with her soon enough," the maid said confidently. 'It won't take long for a man like Pierre to conquer Nina.'

The two agreed with what the maid said. They believed that Nina would be fine as long as she was willing to obey Pierre.

"I made some refreshments. Let's go have some and come back to check on her later." The maid suggested.

"Okay." The doctors left together.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the room, they were shocked by the sight in front of them. A group of men had rushed into the living room with weapons in their hands.

The maid was scared shitless. When she saw Percy, she immediately acted calm and said, "Young Master Percy, why are you here?"

Percy looked at the door of the room behind her with a stern expression. When he saw the maid, he was certain that Nina was locked up here by Pierre.

The maid used to work for the Mallory family. Pierre was satisfied with her capabilities and asked her to work for him so that she could manage his villa.

"Is Nina inside?" Percy asked.

The maid knew that she was in trouble and acted dumb. "Nina? Who? I don't understand what you're talking about. Young Master Percy, why did you bring so many people here? You must know that this villa belongs to Young Master Pierre."

"I'll give you one more chance. Is Nina in there?" Percy asked while he glared at her.

The maid shook with fear and immediately replied, "Young Master Percy, it's not my fault. I'm just following Young Master Pierre's commands. If I did something wrong, it's because Young Master Pierre asked me to do so."

Percy shoved them to the side and opened the bedroom door with force. He quickly walked over when he saw Nina, who was lying on the bed. "Nina."

Nina was in a daze. She thought she heard someone calling her and tried to open her eyes, but it was to no avail.

When she did not respond, Percy noticed the needles on the back of her hand and carefully pulled them out. "Nina, I came to save you. Sorry that I'm late."

As soon as the needles were removed, Nina's veins began to bleed. Percy grabbed the cotton swab on the bedside table and pressed on the wound.

The maid walked in, trembling. The men outside seemed as though they were ready to swallow her whole. She tried to defend herself, saying, "Young Master Percy, it's not my fault. I'm just working under him. I just do whatever he tells me to..."

Percy ignored her and continued to call out to Nina, "Nina, can you hear me?"

She seemed to hear Percy's voice... novelbin

Nina shook her head and wanted to open her eyes to look at the person in front of her. However, her eyelids were too heavy and she could not open them.

When he saw that, Percy turned his head and said sullenly, "What did you do to her?!"

"I didn't do anything!" The maid quickly denied any wrongdoing on her part.

"Why does she look like this if you hadn't done anything?" Percy did not believe her.

"Ms. Nina has a fever now. Of course, she would be drowsy. Don't worry. After I learned she has a fever, I asked the doctors to come over and they gave her a fever-reducing jab," the maid said quickly,

trying to explain herself.

"Then what is this?" Percy asked while he held a needle up.

The maid said, "This is for the nutrition solution. Ms. Nina refused to eat, so we had no choice but to have her undergo infusion therapy. This is good for her health and has absolutely no side effects."

Percy threw the needle on the floor and looked at her with an indifferent expression. "You falsely imprisoned her. You can explain yourself to the police."

The maid fell down with a loud thump. She knelt on the floor, begging for mercy, "Young Master Percy, you can't do this to me. I'm just doing what Young Master Pierre told me to. If you send me to prison, your brother will be dragged along!" "It was Pierre who told you to do all of this? If you have any evidence, you can tell the police." Percy bent over and touched Nina's forehead with his hand. He found that she was burning.

He picked her up and left.

Luke stood in the living room and asked when he saw Percy carry Nina out, "What happened to her?"

"She hasn't eaten for several days. Her body is weak and feverish," Percy explained. He then looked at his subordinates and said, "I'll leave this to you. Make sure you send all those guilty to the police station. If I find that someone has slipped through the net, you know what I'll do to you, yeah?"

"Boss, I know what I should do." The subordinate shuddered when he realized that Percy was not joking and immediately instructed his men to start moving.

Luke picked up his phone and texted Johann. He then said to Percy, "Johann is already waiting for you in the hospital."

"Thanks." Percy never thought that Nina would be here. He just wanted to try his luck after receiving the anonymous call. As such, he did not plan it out thoroughly.

Had he made arrangements in advance, the ambulance would have been waiting outside.

Percy walked out of the villa with Nina in his arms, got into his car, and instructed the driver to go to the hospital. He held Nina in his arms the entire way.

Nina lay in his arms and felt very uncomfortable. She opened her eyes and looked at the man holding her.

Her gaze was hazy because of the high fever, but the familiar smell in her nose reminded her of Percy.

"Is it you?" she asked. Her throat was coarse and uncomfortable because of the high fever.

"It's me," Percy replied. Although she did not ask who it was, he intuitively knew that Nina was referring to him.

"You... finally came. I feel terrible..." Nina buried her head in his arms. When one was sick, they would be vulnerable and want to find the person they loved most to lean on.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1765-Percy listened to her screams and hugged her silently. "Don't be scared. We're going to the hospital now. You'll feel more comfortable once we get there."

Nina heard his reassuring words and subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes. She was scared that he would disappear as soon as she loosened her grip.

‘It's not a dream, is it... Percy came to my rescue...'

Nina said nothing. Percy hugged her tightly until she arrived at the hospital.

Johann had arranged for someone to wait for Nina at the hospital's entrance. Percy got out of the car and felt Nina grip him tighter when he wanted to place her on the stretcher.

"Nina, we're at the hospital now. The doctor will take care of you." Percy noticed her unease and reassured her.

Nina shook her head and said, "Don't leave me. I'm scared..."

When he heard that, Percy felt as though his heart shattered.

"Okay, I won't let you go. I'll carry you in." Percy carried Nina in his arms and walked to the hospital.

The doctor who was on stand-by said when he saw that Percy refused to put Nina on the stretcher, "Sir, put the patient on the stretcher so that it'll be easier on you. It's a less bumpy journey for the patient as well."

Nina quickly grabbed Percy's shirt where his chest was when she heard what the doctor said.

"No, I'm fine. Just lead the way." Percy turned down the doctor's offer.

The doctor had no choice but to trot in front to lead the way after seeing how persistent Percy was.

Johann was waiting for them in the consultation room. He was slightly startled to see that Nina was carried in by Percy instead of a stretcher.

"This is..." He noticed the sweat on Percy's forehead. "Aren't you tired from carrying her all the way here?"

"I'm not tired. Quick, help her get rid of the fever," Percy said as he tried to place Nina on the bed in the consultation room.

Nina realized that she was being lowered and clutched onto him tightly. "Don't put me down."

Percy's heart softened, and he carried her again.

"How can she be treated if you don't put her down? Uh, never mind. Sit on a chair if you insist on carrying her. I'll get the nurse to take her temperature." Johann understood why Percy had carried Nina all the way in.

Even heroes would go weak in the knees for the charms of a beautiful woman...

Percy was completely besotted. He would not behave as such if the woman was not Nina.

After he heard what Johann said, Percy sat on the chair. The nurse next to him put the sterilized thermometer into Nina's armpit and said, "Make sure she clamps it tightly or the temperature displayed will be inaccurate."

"Mm." Nina closed her eyes and subconsciously clenched her armpits when she heard the nurse's instructions.

After a while, the nurse took out the thermometer. She glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Dr. Park, the patient's temperature is 39 degrees."

"It's that high? She needs an antipyretic jab." Johann made arrangements immediately after he heard that.

Percy thought of something and said, "Wait a minute. She was given an antipyretic jab before this. Will that affect anything?"

"When was she injected?" Johann stopped and asked.

"It should be around half an hour ago," Percy replied.

"Do you know which antipyretic jab was administered?" Johann asked.

Percy shook his head as he was unsure. "I'll ask."

"Okay. It'll generally take some time for the antipyretic jab to work after the injection. After an antipyretic jab has been administered, the second jab can't be administered within a certain timeframe. In that case, let's have Ms. Langdon hospitalized. We'll use other means to cool her down for now." Johann made an immediate decision.

Percy trusted Johann's medical skills and decided to do as he said.

Nina was quickly assigned a ward. Percy carried Nina into the ward.

The ward was a VIP ward, and it was quiet. Percy carried Nina carefully and tried to put her on the bed but Nina would not let go of him.

"Don't leave me..." Her voice was still weak.

Percy's heart tightened into a bunch. He held her in his arms once more. "Don't worry, I won't leave you. We have to find a way to help you cool down, so you have to lie on the bed. I promise I'll be right beside you the whole time!"

Nina listened to his soothing words and slowly released her grip.

Percy breathed a sigh of relief and laid Nina flat on the bed.

After a while, the nurse came in with an ice pack and alcohol wipes. She said, "Sir, we're going to help the patient to cool down. Do you need to step aside?"

"I'm her boyfriend. I don't need to step aside," Percy said. He was unwilling to go back on his word since he promised Nina that he would stay by her side the entire time.

The nurse nodded and stuffed the ice packs under Nina's armpits.

The weather had turned cold, so even though it felt like she was burning, she was extremely uncomfortable under the stimulation of the ice cubes.

"It's so cold! I feel so uncomfortable!" she cried out.

When Percy heard her screams, it felt as though her pain had transferred to him. He immediately looked at the nurse and said, "She's screaming out of discomfort. Can you please stop using ice cubes?"

The nurse sighed and replied, "Ice cubes are the quickest way. If we don't use ice cubes, the only other option is to wipe her down with alcohol."

"Let's wipe her down with alcohol, then," Percy said. He was unwilling to see Nina be in such pain.

"We don't have enough manpower in the hospital. If we resort to using alcohol wipes, we have to keep wiping for some time. Otherwise, it'll be ineffective," the nurse said, embarrassed.

"I'll do it." Percy did not even give it a second thought before he readily agreed.

The nurse was happy to hear that he was willing to help out, so she taught him how to wipe Nina.

Percy did as the nurse said and carefully wiped Nina. An hour later, the nurse came in with a thermometer and took Nina's temperature.

After a while, the nurse said to Percy, "Wiping her with alcohol is effective. The patient's body temperature has dropped to 38.5 degrees. By the way, do you have the brand of the antipyretic jab already?"

"I've already told Dr. Park." Percy had passed the message to Johann as soon as his subordinate texted him.

"Okay, Dr. Park will make the necessary arrangements, then. Don't worry, the patient's condition hasn't gotten worse. It means that the antipyretic jab and alcohol wipes are effective. If possible, continue to wipe her down and I believe that her fever will soon subside.” The nurse reassured him.

Percy nodded.

He continued to wipe Nina even as he spoke with the nurse. There was a small wound on his hand and it hurt the entire time from the stimulation of alcohol. Nevertheless, he was not bothered. All that he cared about was helping Nina reduce her fever.

After a while, Johann walked in while holding a packet of needles. He said, "It's time for another antipyretic jab. Although 38 degrees is not considered a high fever, since you're so anxious, we'll give Ms. Langdon an injection to get her fever down."

"Mm." Percy stopped what he was doing.

Johann prepared the needle, then pinpointed Nina's vein and started the injection.

The needle was slowly inserted into Nina's vein. Percy kept silent, but he still felt the pain.

The needle was inserted into Nina's vein but it felt as though it was stabbed through his heart.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1766-The antipyretic fluid entered Nina's vein little by little.

After Johann adjusted the speed of the drip, he looked at Percy and saw how in pain he looked. He joked, saying, "It's just an injection. Her fever is so high that she won’t feel any pain no matter how sensitive she is to it."

Percy frowned even more when he heard that.

Seeing that Percy was not in the mood to talk, Johann touched his nose and did not continue the conversation. He went through some of the things to be mindful of and left.

...

Luca was in the villa worrying about Nina while taking care of the children.

Her refusals about Luke moving in with the three kids had gone unheard.

The truth was that she wanted more than anything to live with the children and Luke...

The cleaning lady arrived to help take care of the children. As per Luke’s instructions, she bought a bunch of ingredients before she came to the villa.

When Luca saw her, she took the initiative to put the groceries in the refrigerator.

Lanie and Rainie were both doing their homework in the living room. When they saw Luca carrying the ingredients into the kitchen, Rainie whispered to Lanie, "Ms. Luca won't leave, right?"

"Daddy was so unconvincing. I had a long chat with Ms. Luca yesterday. I don't think she’ll leave?" Lanie muttered. If their daddy could convince her to stay, they would not have to be so worried.

Rainie gave him a thumbs-up and praised him, "Lanie, you’re awesome! If Ms. Luca stays, we should all thank you."

Lanie looked at his sister's admiration and grinned from ear to ear. "It’s no big deal as long as we can make Daddy happy and protect our family. Rainie, you have to put in some work too, okay?"

"Ah, what should I do?" Rainie glanced at the kitchen and saw that Luca was still inside, so they continued the discussion.

"Ms. Luca is soft-hearted. You’re a girl, so acting weak will soften her heart." Lanie gave her an idea. "Spend some time with Ms. Luca to show her your vulnerability and how you’re scared of Greatgrandpa. By then, she’ll not have the heart to leave and we can leave the rest to Daddy."

Rainie nodded, indicating that she knew what to do.

Just as they were done chatting, Luca came out with a plate full of cut fruits. She looked at the twins and said, "I cut some fruits for you. Do you want to have some?"

"Yes!" Lanie and Rainie said in unison.

Luca put the plate in front of them. She did not see Tommy, so she asked curiously, "Where's Tommy?"

"Tommy finished his homework and went upstairs to look for his coloring book," Rainie replied.

Luca nodded and looked at their homework. The children had grown up and were smart. They did not need her guidance to complete their homework. She could not help but sigh for missing out on the period when the children were still growing up.

Rainie picked up a piece of apple with a fork and held it to Luca's mouth. "Ms. Luca, have some."

Luca smiled slightly. Rainie's heart-warming action made her feel as though her heart had melted. She opened her mouth and carefully ate the piece of apple given to her by Rainie.

The apple was refreshing and sweet. Luca ate it slowly.

Rainie smiled, her eyebrows curving like the moon. "Ms. Luca, is it delicious?"

Luca looked at her smile and it reminded her of when she was younger. She nodded and said, "It's delicious. You should have some too."

Rainie got a piece and chewed it slowly like her.

"I'm going to ask Tommy to come down." Luca stood up and was about to go upstairs to get Tommy when she saw Luke walk in.

"Daddy, have some apples. Ms. Luca cut them for us!" Lanie greeted him when he saw Luke come in.

Luke walked over, looked at the sliced apples, then at Luca.

"Have you found Nina?" Luca asked immediately, not even bothering to say hello. She was worried sick about Nina. If she was not worried that calling them might affect their operation, she would have called to ask if Luke had found Nina.

"We have. She's in the hospital now," Luke said.

Luca's heart tightened, her eyes showing concern for Nina as she asked, "Is she injured?"

"No. She has a fever and is being treated in the hospital." Luke knew she was worried about Nina and did not hide anything from her.

Luca glanced at the children with a hesitant expression.

Even if she did not say anything, Luke knew what she was thinking about. "If you want to go to the hospital, go. I can stay here to watch the kids."

Luca was stunned. She did not say anything but he knew exactly what was in her mind.

They were still so in sync even though three years had passed.

"Thank you," Luca said. She turned around and went upstairs, intending to change into a fresh set of clothes and head to the hospital. She suddenly thought of Pierre, so she turned around and asked, "Did Pierre do it?"

"Yes." Luke nodded.

"Will Mr. Mallory be going after him?" Luca continued to ask. Pierre escaped cunningly the time she was kidnapped. This time, she did not want to see Pierre get off scot-free.

"Yes," Luke said. Even though Percy did not say what he was going to do with Pierre, Luke knew that something was about to happen.

Pierre had done so many terrible things that Percy's love for his brother had long been exhausted. Not to mention, Nina was his everything. No one was allowed to touch her.

Pierre had publicly offended his woman, so a break between the two brothers was inevitable.

Luca nodded and went upstairs to change. Tommy saw her come out of the bedroom, walked over, and hugged her hand. "Ms. Luca, where are you going? Take me with you? "

"I'm going to the hospital to visit Aunt Nina. There are many germs in the hospital, so I can't take you with me," Luca said. Since Nina had just been rescued, she must be in shock. Bringing the child over would only make a scene.

Tommy still wanted to follow her but when he saw Luke walk upstairs, he said obediently, "Okay, Ms. Luca. Come back quickly. I'll wait for you at home."

Luca noticed that Tommy mentioned that he would be waiting for her at home, not 'here'...

She was unsure if he said it unintentionally or intentionally.

"Okay." She patted Tommy's head, turned around to leave, and saw Luke. She nodded and went off.

Luke said suddenly, "I'll drive you there."

"You're going too?" Luca was stunned. 'Didn't he just say that he would stay here to take care of the kids?'

"Mm, I have something to discuss with Percy," Luke said.

Luca glanced at Tommy behind her and asked, "The kids..."

"With the cleaning lady here, it won't be a problem," Luke said. Although the cleaning lady he arranged was not from Crawford Manor, she was someone he could trust. The children would not make a fuss about going out, so one caretaker was more than enough to take care of them.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1767-Tommy listened to the conversation between the adults and came to assist, saying, "Daddy, Ms. Luca, don't worry. I promise that I'll be good and listen to the cleaning lady, Lanie, and Rainie. I'll be waiting for you to come home!"

Luca nodded and said, "Okay."

Luke walked into the opposite room and said, "Give me five minutes. I have to change."

"Mm." Luca nodded.

Tommy took her hand and whispered, "Ms. Luca, you have to follow closely behind Daddy when you're out."

"Why?" Luca was intrigued. She crouched down and looked at the child.

"It's dangerous and there are many people out there! Only by following Daddy closely can he keep you safe!" Tommy touched the top of her head as she did to him previously. "Ms. Luca, you're my favorite person. You have to keep yourself safe.”

Luca was not sure how to feel. Tommy was so young but he already learned to say such things. She looked at the serious look in his eyes and nodded. "I will."

Luke changed his clothes, opened the bedroom door, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw their interaction.

Luca subconsciously stood up.

"Daddy, you must protect Ms. Luca when you're outside. Don't let bad guys take her away!" Tommy nagged them like a little old man.

"I'll protect her. Don't worry." Luke looked at the child, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He could not help but smile.

"Don't worry about us. You should leave now so you can come back early. I want Ms. Luca to tell me a story before I go to bed," Tommy said. He then went downstairs with his coloring book.

Luca followed behind Tommy.

Seeing that she did not say anything, Luke was not bothered and went downstairs with them.

After he explained the situation to the kids, Luke left with Luca and drove her to the hospital.

The atmosphere in the car was silent, and Luca's nerves were tense. She felt a little uncomfortable every time she was in such a small space with Luke.

She was worried that her thoughts would be seen through by him.

Luca clasped her hands together, thought about it for a while, and broke the silence. “Uh, is there enough evidence to charge Pierre now?"

She was worried that this time would be the same as the last, where Pierre paid off some people and got away with it.

"Yes," Luke said, "The villa where Nina was held captive belongs to Pierre's mother, which was why no matter how deep Percy dug before, he didn't find anything. He didn't take this into account."

‘If the villa is owned by his mother, I'm sure Mr. Mallory wouldn't dare to act rashly. If Madam Mallory is involved, this will be a difficult matter to handle. Madam Mallory has always disliked Nina. If Mr. Mallory involves her because of this, the Mallory family's impression of Nina may worsen.' Luca was worried. On the one hand, she hoped that Pierre would get the punishment he deserved, but on the other hand, she hoped that Nina could find her happiness.

However, it would be difficult for Nina to be happy with Percy. If she wanted to pursue Pierre because of this matter, she may annoy Madam Mallory. At that time, if she wanted to get the support of the Mallory family to be with Percy, Luca was afraid it would be impossible.

"Percy will take care of it," Luke replied.

Luca looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean by that? Does Mr. Mallory have another way?"

"He received an anonymous phone call, and after he found out that the villa belonged to his mother, he started gathering evidence. When he entered the villa, the maid admitted to him that Pierre made her do all of it. Even if the maid wants to flip her statement, it'll be impossible," Luke said.

Luca nodded. Although he said that it was unlikely that the maid would change her statement, it was still possible with the intervention of the Mallory family. Even if they have a recording of her confession, the police station would still acquit Pierre and say that he was framed.

When she thought of that, Luca felt that she still had to rely on the strength of the Island of Despair to deal with Pierre.

However, those from the Island of Despair were not moving fast enough...

'It would be great if those people could hurry up.'

Luca's mood was complicated. She did not even notice when Luke parked the car in the hospital's parking lot.

"We're here." Luke turned his face sideways to look at Luca, who was in the driver's seat. Her brows were furrowed, so he knew at one glance that she was deep in thought.

It was not hard to guess that she was thinking about Nina.

"Ah, that's great." Luca came back to her senses, unfastened her seat belt, opened the car door, and looked at the familiar hospital parking lot. She smiled wryly when she thought of how fated she seemed to be with the hospital. She had been here countless times, no matter if it involved her directly or indirectly.

Whenever she saw the hospital, she felt depressed.

"Let's go," Luke told her as he opened the door and got out of the car.

Luca nodded and walked side by side with him. The two soon arrived at Nina's ward.

At that point, Nina had woken up and her fever had almost subsided.

"Nina, how are you?" Luca walked in and asked when she saw Nina sitting up.

Nina's body was a little weak because she had not eaten for several days. She said, "I'm fine. I'm wonderful."

Luca looked at her pale lips and knew that Nina was just trying to comfort her. She glanced at the IV fluid and did not need to look closely to know that it was glucose solution.

She guessed that Nina deliberately went on a hunger strike so that she could escape. Otherwise, her weight would not have dropped so drastically.

"You look so weak... What did the doctor say?" Luca walked over, ignoring Percy.

She still resented Percy in her heart.

If it were not for his previous incident with the Johnston family, Nina would not have left. It was only because Nina was without his protection that Pierre was so bold and dared to hurt Nina.

"The doctor said that I'm fine, I need to stay for observation for one night and can be discharged tomorrow if my fever is gone," Nina said. Right after she woke up, she told Johann about what had happened.

Aside from not eating and drinking, the people in Pierre's villa did not act violently against her.

She just had a fever but her body was okay. She was not in pain.

Luca sighed and looked at Percy.

He looked gloomy.

Luke cleared his throat and said to Percy, "Percy, come out. I have something to discuss with you."

Percy looked at Nina as if he was unwilling to leave.

"Mr. Mallory, I'll keep a close eye on Nina, don't worry," Luca said. She knew that Luke had something important to discuss with Percy, so she came to his aid.

If she guessed correctly, what Luke was going to say must have something to do with Pierre and the anonymous phone call.

Nina would not want to hear Pierre's name, so they definitely could not discuss it in front of her.

The anonymous call...

She wondered if they would track the location of that anonymous call...

Nevertheless, they would not find anything even if they tried. After all, Amur would not easily leave traces that could be tracked.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1768-Percy looked at Nina, who lay peacefully on the hospital bed.

She nodded and spoke in a low, gentle voice, "Go. We're in the hospital. Nothing will happen to me."

When he heard her, Percy stood up and walked out of the ward with Luke.

Luca approached the hospital bed and looked at Nina's thin face. It was pale and ashen. "You've lost a lot of weight."

"I couldn't eat when I was there, so naturally, I lost weight." Nina looked at the person in front of her. She could not stop crying when she thought of how Percy was right in front of her as soon as she woke up.

When she saw Luca, she was completely relieved and knew that she was truly safe.

Luca sat on the chair beside the bed and held Nina's frail hand. "After you're discharged, you need to make up for the weight you've lost and eat more food so that you can get back to how you were before."

"I'll eat more if you're the one cooking for me!" Nina was more relaxed when Luca was around. She did not want Luca to worry about her, so she pretended to be at ease and joked.

Luca poked her forehead and asked, "Did Mr. Percy take you to the hospital?"

"Yeah. If it weren't for him, I'd still be sick and stuck in the villa. Luca, if I wasn't on my period, Pierre would've gotten to me. During my time there, I thought about everything that had happened. I was overwhelmed with endless grief and fear. I regretted being so willful and thinking that I could solve everything by myself. In the end, it was Percy who helped me solve all of my troubles. I'm not that capable..." Nina told Luca the things she had thought about over the last few days.

Luca nodded with a smile on her face. "Yes, Mr. Percy has put in a lot of thought and time for you but you didn't notice it before."

"I see it now. Luca, do you think it's still possible for me and him?" Nina hesitated for a few seconds before she asked.

After she went through everything that she did, she saw the truth that she had tried to bury and knew that Percy held a special place in her heart.

All along, she thought that the gap between them was too large to overcome, so she never wanted to admit her feelings for him...

"Of course, it's possible," Luca said immediately and with certainty, "Look, Mr. Percy rescued you when you were in trouble. You were locked in the villa these past few days, so you don't know what went on. Mr. Percy has been looking for you since you went missing. He hardly ate or slept during this period. If

Pierre wasn't too cunning and hid you in their mother's villa, you would have been found sooner."

Nina smiled. Although she knew that Percy would look for her, when she heard her close friend say that, she could feel the hardships that Percy went through in the last couple of days.

"I'm sorry to have worried you," she said.

Luca swept her bangs aside and said, "All Pierre did was hold you hostage. He didn't hurt you, right? "

"No. Don't worry, I don't find the need to lie for him." Nina shook her head. She felt much better after she got the glucose intravenous infusion.

"If he really did anything to you, I'll destroy him!" Luca said as a murderous look flashed in her eyes.

She was not joking.

She could let it slip when Pierre hurt her but she would never endure him hurting those she held dear.

Nina looked at her and thought the way Luca cared for her felt familiar. She was worried that Luca would step on Pierre's toes for her, so she gently held Luca's hand and said, "Trust me, nothing happened except that I starved. It was just for a few days. The weight loss is not a big deal."

"Enough with the fake optimism. I'm sure that this incident must have caused a lot of trauma. If you're ready to talk, tell Mr. Mallory everything. Find a psychiatrist and go for therapy. Don't keep everything to yourself,” Luca said.

Nina nodded.

Luca glanced at the fruits on the table and asked, "There are some fruits here. Do you want some?"

"Yeah, I want some grapes," Nina said after she noticed that there were grapes in the fruit basket. Percy had asked someone to send it over after Johann told him that she could have fruits to supplement her condition.

The fruits in the basket were all her favorites.

Nina did not expect that Percy, who had never once asked her what she liked, would know so much about her.

After she took off her rose-tinted glasses, she found that he was not arrogant toward her. Rather, he was careful and considerate.

Luca walked to the fruit basket, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "They're all your favorites. Did Mr. Percy buy it for you?"

"How did you know?" Nina was surprised.

"Mr. Percy is the only one who would be so thoughtful to prepare so much for you. Look at me. I came in a hurry and am empty-handed." Luca picked up a bunch of grapes and walked into the bathroom.

After her reminder, Nina noticed that Luca came with Luke.

It was Saturday. Logically speaking, Luca did not have to go to work, and her outfit also did not look like she came from work...

Luca washed the grapes and saw the delicate fruit plate on the side. She thought that Percy was so thoughtful that he even got a plate ready.

She picked it up, put the grapes on it, and went out.

"The grapes look fresh. They should be very sweet." Luca put the grapes on the bedside table, looked at Nina who was still on the intravenous drip, and asked, "Would you like me to help you adjust the bed?" "Okay." Nina nodded. Percy was so worried about her just now that he refused to adjust the bed even though she said that she was getting back pain from lying down so much.

She did not say anything seeing how ill at ease he was.

Luca helped to adjust the bed, then assisted Nina to a sitting position. She put the pillow up to make her more comfortable.

Nina was about to pick up the fruit plate when Luca said, "I'll do it. Your hand is still attached to the drip. Don't move around."

"I'm thankful to have you here taking care of me." Nina saw how worried Luca was for her. To outsiders, they seemed like friends who had known each other for more than ten years.

"What about Mr. Percy? Mr. Percy has been taking care of you too. What do you think of him?" Luca joked. Since Nina was safe and sound, all she needed to do was to make her happy.

"I've said what I wanted to say. Let's move on from the topic and have some grapes." Nina blushed slightly. When she thought of how Percy had risked everything to save her, she realized that the emotions that filled her heart were not feelings of being touched; it was love.

Luca noticed that she was blushing. She handed the grapes to her hand and asked, "Do you want me to peel the skin off for you?"

"How do you know that I like to peel the skin off the grapes?" Nina thought that it was a little odd that Luca knew everything about her. Although the two had known each other for a while, she had never eaten grapes in front of her.

"That's because I like to eat grapes without the skin too." Luca helped to peel the skin off seeing that the needle was still stuck in the back of Nina's hand.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1769-Nina took the peeled grapes and said, "Some of your habits are very similar to mine."

"Isn't that normal? After all, we're good friends." Luca smiled. She then lowered her head and continued to peel the grapes for her.

Outside the ward.

Percy and Luke each had a cigarette in their hand.

"How's it going?" Luke asked. If Percy was willing to make a move on Pierre, he would be more than happy to help.

Although Pierre had not made any big moves now, they all saw his ambition.

Right now, he was only afraid of the two old masters from the Crawford and Mallory families. After a few years, no one would be able to control him when he grew stronger. As such, it was necessary to deal with a hazard like Pierre as soon as possible.

"Those involved have been taken to the police station. Pierre should know that I've rescued Nina by now." Percy took a deep breath and blew out some smoke circles.

In front of Nina, all he could do was to take good care of her and show her his gentleness. In places where she could not see him, he was melancholic and ruthless.

The melancholy was because Pierre was his younger brother. The Mallory family would definitely not allow him to deal with Pierre publicly.

The worst thing was that as his younger brother, Pierre went for the woman he loved the most, as well as made moves behind his back.

Although the Mallories were not in charge of the company, it was impossible for them not to know about what Pierre had been doing. Although they knew that what he was doing may harm the interests of Mallory Corporation at any time, they did not say anything.

Percy knew that if he went after Pierre, the majority of the Mallories might be on Pierre's side.

His road of vengeance would be difficult.

Percy smoked his cigarette and remembered what Old Master Mallory had once taught him. "In this world, the strong will dominate the weak. It doesn't matter if you're the eldest grandson of the Mallory family and you've been trained to be the heir since you were young. If one day, they find that you're not as good as your younger brother, even if the Mallories are on your side, the shareholders of Mallory Corporation won't be. As such, you must be strong enough to carry the Mallory Corporation.”

"What should I do next?" Luke continued to ask. He had no choice but to let go of what had happened last time due to the interference of various forces. This time, he would help Percy no matter what.

"Wait for my notice." Percy had not thought it through. He had already found someone to keep watch at the police station. He would be immediately notified if Pierre or other strangers went to visit those key suspects.

"Okay. If you decide to avenge Nina, I'll help you. After all, Pierre has also touched my woman," Luke said. He held onto some guilt for having to mind the bigger picture and not being able to avenge Luca.

Pierre had offended him and now, he had offended Percy. His good days were coming to an end.

"By the way, my people can't track the anonymous phone number. Can I borrow someone from your side?" Percy asked. He did not pay much attention to the anonymous call at first because he thought that it was a prank call.

After he found Nina, he asked someone to investigate the matter but they could not find out the source of the call.

"You don't have to look for it as you won't be able to find the person behind it," Luke said. "The call came at the perfect timing and was anonymous. On top of that, the signal was hidden with special software. Do you think that it can be tracked that easily?"

"Based on your tone, you know who called me?" Percy frowned suspiciously.

Luke glanced at the ward's door and noticed that Luca was still inside.

"Luca has been worried about Nina," he said.

Percy nodded. He knew that Luca had tried everything to find Nina.

"We've always suspected that Luca is refusing to admit her true identity because there are forces behind her that are forcing her to do so. There's someone who's keeping watch of her," Luke said. It did not seem like a coincidence that Amur came back yesterday and they received an anonymous call the next day.

He suspected that it was Luca who asked Amur to help find Nina.

The forces behind Luca forced her to go through plastic surgery and then arranged a fake Bianca to be by his side. They must have a foothold in A City. Otherwise, how dare they act so boldly?

"You suspect it's Luca?" Percy snuffed out the cigarette and asked.

"I suspect it's Luca's titular brother." Luke's attitude was not the best when he mentioned Amur. As a man, he had a natural hostility toward Amur.

Percy nodded and thought that his suspicions were not unreasonable.

"I've gotten someone to watch him in secret." Luke also put out the cigarette.

Percy opened the window. Nina did not like the smell of cigarettes on him, so he had stopped himself from smoking. If the matter was not that serious, he would not be smoking.

After a while, the two walked in. When they saw Luca sitting on the chair beside the bed feeding Nina grapes, they looked at each other.

True friendship never went away. Even though Luca had changed her identity, Nina quickly accepted her.

Luca heard the sound of them walking in and looked at them. "Are you done talking?"

"Yeah." Luke nodded. He was envious of how she was taking care of Nina.

Luca put the last peeled grape in Nina's hand and put the plate aside.

"The doctor said you can eat solid food now, so I'll cook some chicken soup for you tonight, okay?" she said.

"That sounds wonderful." Nina's eyes lit up.

Luca glanced at Luke. She knew that he still had work to do. Besides, she had a bunch of documents to translate. She stood up and said, "I'll come back later."

"Mm, you don't have to worry about me. Go." Nina nodded. Her mood significantly improved after she spent some time with Luca.

Luca and Luke left.

Percy walked over and got close to the hospital bed. When he saw Nina half-lying, he frowned and asked, "Are you comfortable lying down like this? If not, I'll adjust the bed for you."

"No, I'm fine. I can watch TV like this. I promise I'm fine." Nina's mouth curled into a shallow smile.

Percy nodded.

The phone in his pocket rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Madam Mallory calling. His mood sank as he hung up the call.

Nina noticed what he did and that his expression became worse after seeing the caller ID. She asked cautiously, "If you're busy..."

"I'm not busy. I'll stay with you," Percy said, not planning to leave.

He was worried that Pierre would make a move if he left.

The hospital was not under him. Even if he arranged his men to guard Nina here, he would feel more at ease if he personally kept guard of her.

After these few days, he was deeply aware that he could not bear to lose Nina.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1770-Nina noticed the worry in his eyes and said softly, "Are you struggling with what to do with Pierre?"

Percy looked at her. After she was rescued, she no longer resisted him. Her tenderness was hard-won as the price was for her to experience those terrible things.

He would rather she did not experience them and for her to see his love for her bit by bit through his hard work so that it would hurt her a lot less.

"No, don't read into it." Percy put his hand on her forehead and removed it only when he felt that her temperature was normal.

"Don't lie to me. Pierre is your younger brother. If you go after him for my sake, you won't be able to explain it to your family. Since I've woken up, your phone has rung three times and you didn't answer a single call. It's someone from the Mallory family who's calling you, no?" Nina hated Pierre, and she did not want to let the matter slide.

However, she could not deal with this mad man alone. She could only do it with Percy's help...

If Percy stood on her side, however, he would be fighting against a whole lot of people. She could not bear to let Percy face something as such.

She blamed herself for everything. If she had accepted Percy's feelings for her and his protection, Pierre would at least have his scruples and not do anything to her.

"It has to do with the company." Percy tucked her in and reassured her. "Don't read into it."

Nina knew that he was saying this only because he did not want her to feel guilty, so she nodded. She knew that no matter what she said, it would not change Percy's decision.

She was incapable of fighting against Pierre, but Jean...

Nina lowered her gaze slightly. She was unwilling to forgive Jean after she learned from Pierre that Jean had worked with him to lie to her so that she would show up at the bar... ...

Luke drove to the villa.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief after she personally made sure that Nina was fine. She felt much more relaxed sitting in the passenger seat.

Luke said thoughtfully, "You care about Nina a lot."

"Why do you say that?" Luca looked at the reversing scenery outside the window and wondered. ‘How did he notice the change in my mood when he's driving?'

In front of him, there seemed to be a detector for the emotions she wanted to hide. He knew everything.

"You look much more relaxed than before," Luke said.

Luca nodded and explained, "I was worried that Nina would be bullied by Pierre when she was held hostage. Her mental state is too fragile. She wouldn't be able to deal with it if she encountered something like that. Fortunately, that's not what happened, so the trauma isn't as bad. Also, after this incident, she knows who matters most in her heart. So it's somewhat a blessing in disguise."

Luke listened to her words of concern for others, stared ahead, and said thoughtfully, "You're glad she found out who's the most important person in her life, but how about you?"

"What?" Luca looked at him. She did not understand what he meant.

"What are you thinking about? When will you recognize your true feelings?" Luke asked.

Luca turned her head away and clasped her hands together uneasily. "I don't understand what you mean."

Luke did not continue talking. Since Luca wanted to be an ostrich, he could not force her. If he pushed her too hard, she might resist him.

His phone rang. He glanced at it, picked up the Bluetooth earphones beside him, put them on, and answered the call. "What's the matter?"

Luca knew from the tone of his voice that it was not the children who called.

Luke had a different tone of voice when he talked on the phone with different people. To Bianca, he was gentle and loving. Although he was more stern when he spoke to the kids, his tone was still gentle and affectionate. He was respectful toward Old Master Crawford. With other people, he spoke indifferently as though there was no warmth to him at all.

The person on the other end of the phone said something. Luca did not hear anything since he was wearing earphones. However, she noticed that his tone had become more serious. "I'm on my way."

She watched as Luke hung up the phone as soon as he finished talking. She asked with a frown, "What happened?"

"Something happened at Crawford Manor. I need to go back now," Luke said. Although he just mentioned that ‘something happened', Luca knew that it had to do with Allison.

She began to cause drama only after a few days of silence.

When Luca heard that it was about Crawford Manor, she thought that it would be inappropriate for her to be involved. She said, "Drop me on the side of the road. I'll take a cab back."

Luke glanced at her and knew what she was thinking about. He said, "I have to trouble you to come with me. I can't solve this matter alone."

‘He can't solve it alone...'

"Okay, I'll try my best." Luca nodded in agreement as she knew that it involved Allison.

Allison paid a lot of attention to her appearance. Although the concoction she prescribed had prevented her face from getting worse, it did not cure her condition.

As such, Luca had been expecting her to make a scene sooner or later.

Seeing that she consented to be involved, Luke turned around at the intersection ahead and headed for Crawford Manor.

It was the weekend, so there were more people on the road. They took more than half an hour to reach Crawford Manor.

As soon as Luke stopped the car, the butler hurried over, looking utterly anxious. "Young Master Luke, you're finally back. Please get Madam Allison to calm down."

"Where's Grandpa?" Luke asked. In the past, Allison would still be a little afraid of Old Master Crawford. If Old Master Crawford was at Crawford Manor, she would not dare to make a scene.

"Old Master Crawford went on vacation with his friends to a village in the suburbs. He won't be back until evening at the earliest. It's a mess inside. I think Madam Susan and Madam Allison are about to get into a fight," the butler frowned as he spoke. He was just the butler. If the two of them fought, he would not be able to diffuse the situation.

As such, when he felt that something was about to go down, he immediately called Luke and Louis to get them to come back.

Luke nodded and said, "Let's go in."

Luca followed by Luke's side. Considering the situation inside, she slowed down slightly and followed behind Luke instead.

As they approached the house, they heard the sound of quarreling inside and the vague cries of a child.

Luca guessed that it was Thea who was crying.

After they entered the main house, Luke saw how agitated Allison and Susan were. They were being pulled aside by two maids. novelbin

Thea, on the other hand, was standing in the corner, crying. She was obviously frightened by what was happening.

"What's the matter?!" Luke frowned, his shout interrupting the quarrel between the two. No matter what social class someone was in, they would go out of control when they quarreled, including Susan and Allison.
