Ch. 1771..1780

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1771-At that moment, the two acted like shrews who were fighting in the market square.

When Allison saw Luke, she knew that her support had arrived. Before Susan could say anything, she cried out, "Luke, I don't feel welcomed in this house! I don't want to live anymore!"

Luca listened as Allison cried about her misery. It was made clear that she wanted Luke to step in.

Nevertheless, Luke was the kind of person who sided with reason. He did not side her blindly. Instead, he asked, "What happened? Your quarrel is scaring Thea."

Thea planted her bum on the floor all of a sudden. Thea covered her face and cried so hard as if she was going to be out of breath at any moment. Luca could not bear to leave her as such, so she walked over, took her hand, and comforted her softly. "It's okay. Everything is okay. Don't cry."

Thea continued crying although she was being comforted.

Susan noticed it and pulled Thea to her side. She scolded Allison dismissively, "If you don't want to live, I'm all for it. Why are you still here to hinder the earth's rotation? Do you think your son will back you up now that he's here?"

Seeing that Susan was unwilling to back down, Allison decided to change her tactics and pretended to be vulnerable. She said, "Luke, look, this house is no longer my home. She speaks ill of me to anyone who's willing to listen to her. She's trying to force me to leave. Please take me away from this horrible place. I don't want to live here anymore."

Susan snorted coldly and replied, "It's best if you're willing to move out so you won't scare my baby Thea anymore. Why are you still going around scaring people with that ugly face of yours? Are you trying to scare my baby granddaughter to death? Sure enough, ugly people will do all kinds of weird things to get attention."

"You... How dare you?!" Allison was hit on her sore spot and was ready to fight Susan. However, as soon as she took a step forward, the maid who held her was frightened and held onto her even harder.

"Enough!" Luke frowned. He was extremely annoyed by what was happening.

Crawford Manor was peaceful for several years because of Allison's imprisonment. It had not been long since she got out of prison but she and Susan had started arguing again.

Their quarrels annoyed everyone. The only ones unaffected were the two parties involved.

Luca sighed helplessly as she watched the drama unfold.

Allison raised his hand and pointed at Susan. "Luke, she called me ugly. She even told the maid to tell her granddaughter. I can't let go of this!"

Luke knew how vicious Susan's words were, but it was not his place to say anything. Although she was in the wrong, she was still Louis' mother and his elder.

"Okay, stop arguing," he scolded them with a cold tone, "I brought Dr. Craw here. She's going to do a check-up on your skin. Do you want to consult with her?"

Allison touched her face subconsciously. There were endless wrinkles. She had applied the herbal concoction for so long but her skin did not seem to get any better. However, it also did not get worse. She quickly said, "Yes, I want to consult with her!"

"Go upstairs, then," Luke said. The quarrel could only be settled by getting Allison upstairs.

Allison stared at Susan fiercely. Susan was uncomfortable looking at her terrifying face paired with her piercing gaze.

"What are you looking at?! You'll never have skin as smooth as mine," Susan sarcastically said. She had always been pissed about Zachary being on Allison's side in the past because of her inability to have children and her age. She felt that it was also because she was not as good-looking as Allison. However, she could finally stand proud now that Allison's face ended up as such.

The tables had turned and it was Allison's turn to be the unlucky one.

Susan felt at ease. She would be more at ease if Allison left Crawford Manor.

"I'll cut you after I see the doctor!" Allison said viciously as she turned around and went upstairs.

Luke gave Luca a look.

Luca nodded and was about to follow her upstairs.

Susan said sarcastically, "I don't know why you're wasting your time since the plastic surgeons have already said that your face can't be restored. Isn't it a waste of resources for you to see the doctor? If you have the time, why not go to the suburbs and choose a nice cemetery plot? You might be able to get a spot with nice scenery. Maybe that'll make you want to die faster."

Allison exploded. She turned around and glared at Susan viciously. "What did you say? I'll tear you to pieces if you continue talking!"

"I'm only telling the truth. Why? Luke, doesn't your mother allow others to tell the truth? Although she met the plastic surgeon in prison, she can't hide the results of her diagnosis from others. Does she think that no one knows about her rotten face just because she hasn't gone outside since her release from prison? Allison, everyone in the world knows that your face is ruined and can't be cured!” Susan continued to trigger Allison seeing that her reaction was so strong.

"I'll kill you!" Allison knew that if anyone out there knew about her situation, half of the reason was Susan.

Family matters should be kept within the household, but Susan told everyone about her condition. It was clear that Allison wanted her to become a joke in the public eye.

Luca stood at the head of the stairs, blocking Allison's way. She said with a serious expression, "Ms. Tanner, I'm in a hurry. If you don't think you need a consultation today, I'll head off now."

When Allison heard that, she had to calm herself down. The concoction that Luca gave her was the most effective out of everything she had ever received from the doctors. She only had Luca to rely on.

"I'll deal with you later! Bitch!"

After she shouted that, she headed upstairs.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Susan wanted to pick a fight. She continued to trigger Allison even after she had backed down. If it were not for her quick thinking, they might have gotten into a fistfight.

If Old Master Crawford knew that they got into a fight, he would be furious.

To Old Master Crawford, what he cared about the most was family harmony. However, Susan and Allison were always like two opposite threads. They would never be on the same end.

Luca glanced at Luke and followed Allison upstairs.

At that moment, Louis had also hurried back. When he saw his frightened daughter who was still crying, he snatched the child from Susan's arms.

"Mom, why are you arguing with Allison again?!" Louis could not do anything about their incompatibility.

"From your tone of voice, you seem to think that I was the one who picked a fight? Are you my son or her son? Why do you keep siding with her?" Susan looked at him, dissatisfied.

Louis took out a tissue and wiped her daughter's tears. "I'm not siding with her. I just think that these fights are pointless. All they do is make everyone in the house feel uneasy."

"It's not my fault. She knows she's so ugly yet still walks around the house! Do you see Thea's tears? It's because of her horrid appearance." Susan looked at Luke as if she was in the right. "Luke, move her out of here. If you don't, it'll cause me and Thea to have a heart attack sooner or later."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1772-Louis immediately grabbed Susan and walked off. "Okay, Mom, that’s enough. The villa is almost ready. You can move in with us when the time comes."

When Susan heard that, she scolded, "Bastard! I told you that I won’t move out! You’re not allowed to move out as well. This is your home!"

Louis was not bothered. He went upstairs with her.

Luke stood downstairs, deep in thought. Allison and Susan were incompatible with each other so he had expected them to fight.

He knew that he could not postpone his plans any longer.

"Young Master Luke, are you moving out for good with Young Master Tommy and the others?" the butler asked.

"Mm, I won't be moving back for the time being." Luke nodded. He did not want the kids to be affected by their infighting.

Aside from that, he had not returned to Crawford Manor often because he was occupied with work. It was a better option for him and the kids to live in the villa and have them get closer to Luca so that she would open up to them about her true identity sooner.

"Since you and the kids left, it feels like this home is missing something. Old Master Crawford doesn't like to stay here either. He’s been going out to meet with his friends more frequently.” The butler sighed when he thought of how the once lively home had turned so silent. The occasional sounds were from Susan and Allison, who just yelled at each other whenever they interacted.

"I'll bring the kids back when they're on holiday," Luke said, "I'll go upstairs to see what's going on."

"Okay." The butler nodded.

Luke went upstairs, opened the door to Allison's room, and frowned when his nose was overwhelmed by her strong perfume.

It was way too strong...

Luca was sitting on the chair by the bed, taking Allison's pulse.

Allison saw Luke walk in but did not react to it. She went on and on, asking Luca questions, "When will my face recover?"

Luca listened to her endless questions, finished checking her pulse, and looked at the man behind her helplessly.

She could answer Allison's question but she knew that the other party would not accept her answer.

"Ms. Tanner, you need to continue applying the concoction to manage the condition of your face. I just checked your pulse and found that your problem is not only on your face. In addition to applying the concoction, I'll also prescribe some oral medication to treat your body," Luca said, dodging her question.

When she heard that there was something wrong with her body, Allison pulled back her hand suspiciously and said, "I'm eating and sleeping well. How could there be a problem with my body? Are you talking nonsense because you want to earn more from me?"

Luca sighed and replied, "I haven't received a single cent from you. Your pulse is much more chaotic than when you were in prison. I think it has something to do with your daily routine, so I suggest you make a change. Your health will improve when we work on it internally and externally."

Allison was still suspicious. The wrinkles on her face deepened because of the expression on her wrinkled face. "My daily routine is good. Are you incompetent and just spewing nonsense?"

"Don't consult with me if you don't trust me. Ms. Tanner, if you have doubts about my abilities, you can stop using my concoction." Luca was fuming a little. As Luke's mother, Allison had never helped him in any way but put him through the wringer all the time.

The saying went ‘love me, love my dog'. Hence, if she loved Luke, she should love everything about him. However, she could not bring herself to like Allison, a mother who would only hold him back.

As time went on, she was a little disgusted by her.

Luke spoke up for Luca, "Dr. Craw's advice for you is for your own good. Okay, she'll prescribe some medicine for you. It's your choice whether you want to take it or not."

Allison glared at him, dissatisfied.

She was mad that her son would side with outsiders instead of her, his mother.

"I know. I'll take the medicine on time in full. If it doesn't work, I'll stop taking it, alright?" Allison said in an odd tone.

Luke did not speak, and neither did Luca.

Seeing that they did not say anything, Allison thought of something and said, "Uh, I have something to talk to my son about. Give us some privacy."

Luca listened to her unceremonious tone as if she thought of her as a maid. She did not say anything and just walked out.

Luke watched Luca leave, his dissatisfaction toward Allison growing even more.

"What are you going to say?" His tone was cold as if the person in front of him was not his mother but a stranger.

Allison stretched out her hand and said, "You haven't given me any living expenses since I got released from prison. Are you trying to have me starve to death?"

"How much do you want?" Luke asked straightforwardly. He was clear about what she wanted from him and did not bother to go around in circles.

Seeing that things were going her way, Allison got a little excited. She planned to ask for one million, but seeing how casually he acted, she decided to go all out and said, "I want three million."

"What do you need three million for?" Luke frowned. The amount was within his expectations.

"Is three million a lot? It's just a day's work for you. I need money to get on with my life." Allison took him for granted. She thought that he was her son so, of course, he was responsible for all her living

expenses.

"You have all your meals in Crawford Manor. You won't go hungry." Luke was not fooled by her.

"I have to go out sooner or later and maintain my skin. I need money for all of these! This amount is nothing to you. You're my son, so you should give me money." Allison was getting anxious seeing that he seemed unwilling to give her money.

"You want to go out looking like this? You can't apply any skincare products to your face now. As for clothes, I'll buy everything in trend for the season and put them in your wardrobe. What else do you need?" Luke listed everything down. She did not have to spend any money at all.

"You just don't want to give me a single cent, do you? Okay, if you don't give me any money, I'll move into your villa to live with you." From what he said, Allison got the impression that he did not think she needed money. She was dissatisfied.

"I'll give you the money but not now," Luke said, "I've arranged for someone to renew your passport and apply for a visa. You'll receive a sum of money when it's done."

"You want to send me out of the country? You're such an unfilial son! You sent your wife away and now you want to send your mother away too? If you dare to do this, I'll expose your unfilial behavior on the internet!" Allison was perturbed when she thought that he did not want to support her and wanted to send her away.

She would be happy to go on a holiday abroad, but if she was exiled, she would never agree to it.

Since she would be stared at and laughed at if she went out, it was better for her to stay in the manor and not go anywhere.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1773-Send Her Off To South Korea"I'm going to send you to South Korea to see a doctor. Plastic surgery there is advanced. The doctors here say that you can't be cured but that's not necessarily the case if you go abroad. However, if you don't want to go, you can stay here," Luke said. He originally planned to send her off after a few months but now that she was causing such a scene, he just wanted to get it done right away.

Peaceful days were ahead of them as soon as Allison went abroad.

When Allison heard that he was going to send her to Korea for plastic surgery, her anger disappeared immediately. However, she was worried that he was lying to her, so she said, "I want to go to the best hospital in South Korea. I won't go if there isn't a good doctor."

"I'll make the necessary arrangements," Luke said.

"Okay, I'll say yes for now. After I've received treatment, I'll come back to A City immediately," Allison said. She made it clear that she did not intend to stay abroad for too long.

"Mm," Luke said.

On the other hand.

Luca was not the least bit interested in their conversation. After she left Allison's bedroom, she went downstairs, where the butler was cleaning the antiques that Old Master Crawford had placed on the shelf.

"Ms. Craw, do you want some tea?" the butler asked enthusiastically when he saw her coming downstairs.

Luca shook her head and suddenly thought of Allison's health. She asked the butler, "Can I ask you something?"

"Go for it. I just want to give you a heads up that I don't have the final say on everything in this household, so there might be some things that I'm unaware of," the butler replied cautiously.

Luca smiled and replied, "It's not about a secret. I just want to ask you if you've noticed anything different with Ms. Tanner's daily routine?"

"Madam Allison? There's nothing odd about her daily routine. It's the same as before," the butler said.

"The same as before?" Luca frowned slightly.

"Yes. Madam Allison has always gone to bed late and woke up late. When she wakes up, she skips breakfast, so her first meal would be lunch. Sometimes, to maintain her figure, she won't eat dinner either. I haven't paid much attention to when she goes to bed because all the maids at Crawford Manor are not allowed to go upstairs after ten o'clock," the butler replied.

Luca nodded. She understood the reason behind Allison's abnormal pulse now.

When she was in prison, she was on a strict schedule. Allison had to follow the schedule set by the prison, so she did not stay up late or get up late. She had three meals a day too. However, she returned to her old ways once she returned to Crawford Manor.

If she were still young, her body may be able to adapt to it quickly. However, it was not the case for women her age.

It was the body's natural defense mechanism to protest her staying up late. That contributed to her pulse being abnormal.

"Dr. Craw, why are you asking?" The butler could tell that there was a reason behind why Luca asked about it.

Luca shook her head and said, "Nothing to worry about. I just asked out of curiosity. I'll leave you to attend to your tasks."

"Okay." The butler did not push for it seeing that she was unwilling to talk.

Luca stood and waited at the top of the stairs. After a while, Luke came downstairs.

"Mr. Crawford, can we head off now?" She remembered her promise to cook chicken soup for Nina. If she left now, she would still have some time to cook it. However, if they left any later, she would have to cook the chicken soup in a hurry.

"Okay." Luke went downstairs and told the butler, "Call me if anything happens."

"Yes, Young Master Luke," the butler replied.

Luke looked at Luca with a neutral expression and said, "Let's go."

Luca nodded and followed behind him.

The butler turned around and looked at the two. He sighed and thought that the two of them were a great match, but it would not be easy for them to get together considering that Bianca was still around.

At that moment, Louis went downstairs and saw that there was no one else in the living room. He asked, "Where's Luke?"

"Young Master Luke and Ms. Craw just left," the butler replied.

Louis nodded and asked, "How did he look when he left?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary."

"That's good. I hope Luke isn't mad." Louis spread his hands helplessly. He had a headache thinking about the mess his mother caused.

"Young Master Louis, I'll manage the situation here. You can head off to work." The butler smiled and said thoughtfully when he saw how distressed Louis looked. He knew a little about what was going on with everyone in Crawford Manor.

For example, he knew that Luke was working on a big project and Louis' studio had just received a big order.

Old Master Crawford told him all of that.

Old Master Crawford did not usually have anyone by his side, so he would ramble with him. The butler remembered everything he said.

"Okay, thanks for the trouble. I'll head off to work now." Louis waved the butler goodbye and left.

Luca sat in Luke's car as he drove to the villa.

"What's wrong with my mother's body?" Luke started the conversation seeing that she did not tell him anything about the matter since she got into the car.

Luca looked at him and explained, "I think that there's something wrong with her liver. There should be no major problem if she's willing to receive treatment in time."

"How can this be?" Luke frowned. Although he was not close to Allison, he did consider himself her son, so he did not want to see her suffer. "Was this issue present when she was in prison? "

"Ms. Tanner was in good health when she was in prison. I just had a chat with the butler and from what I understand, I think it has something to do with Ms. Tanner's daily routine. She has reverted to her old ways after being released from prison. She's not young, so her body can't accept this unhealthy transformation all of a sudden. It's protesting in the form of these symptoms."

Luke understood what she meant. All in all, everything that happened to Allison was because of her irregular daily routine.

"When the time comes, give her a prescription and I'll ask the maid to help her prepare the concoction."

"Mm, the concoction will be bitter. I'm afraid she won't drink it." Luca expressed her worries as Allison was self-centered and she did not believe in what others told her.

"I'm going to send her to South Korea." Luke looked at the traffic lights at the intersection, stopped the car, and told her about his decision.

Luca was Bianca. He felt she needed to know everything about this.

"Why?" She was a little surprised. Everyone knew that Allison's condition could not be cured. It was unnecessary to send her off to South Korea. "Was she the one who brought it up?"

"No, I asked her to go. She won't accept the facts no matter how much time has passed. Instead of having her cause trouble in Crawford Manor, it's better to send her off to South Korea. That way, she'll still think that her face can be cured." Luke laid out the truth.

Luca knew his intentions, sighed, and blurted out, "You haven't had it easy."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1774-Luke stepped on the accelerator when he heard what she blurted out. "Are you taking pity on me?"

"No, your identity and status are envied by others. You don't need any pity." Luca turned her head to the side and was annoyed at herself for babbling.

"Those are just what others see on the surface. Luca, you see more of me than others do. Do you still envy the real me?" Luke asked.

"No," Luca answered without a second thought.

Luke chuckled and said, "You can take pity on me. I do hope that you sympathize with me more and stay by my side."

Luca's heart ached when she heard what he said.

She wanted to stay by his side, but it was impossible. Abel would never allow it. She was living in agony but she could not tell him anything.

The only thing that she could do was express her firm denial. "Mr. Crawford, nothing is ever going to happen between us."

"Someone said this to me once and I made the impossible possible. Luca, how long do you think it'll take me to get you to accept me?" Luke stood his ground.

Luca was heartbroken. She wanted nothing more than to hug the man who seemed to be glorious on the surface but bore a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders.

He was human. No matter how tough he was, he would get tired as well.

However, he did not let anyone know about his difficulties. He just endured them silently.

"Mr. Crawford, as I said, nothing will ever happen between us."

"You'll know that you're wrong sooner or later." Luke parked his car at the entrance of the supermarket and said, "Don't you want to make chicken soup for Nina? Do you need to get the ingredients?"

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Crawford. You can head back now. We're not too far from the villa. I can just walk back after I'm done getting groceries," Luca said.

Luke unbuckled his seat belt and opened the car door. "The kids didn't bring any snacks when they moved in. I'm going to buy them some."

Luca was surprised that he knew what snacks the kids liked.

She thought about it. It was not odd seeing that he had been taking care of the children all these years. No matter how careless he was, after a while, he would learn about the kids' likes and dislikes too.

"Why don't I buy them on your behalf?" Luca said. She was not into the idea of the two doing groceries together.

There were a lot of popular movie stars living in the area, so many reporters were lurking around to get first-hand gossip.

As such, if those reporters saw her shopping in the supermarket with Luke, news of it would be sure to occupy the headlines the very next day.

"Do you know what snacks they like?" Luke asked.

Luca wanted to say that she knew seeing that they were her kids, however...

"There are only so many snacks that kids like. I'll just buy a little of everything," she replied.

"You haven't been a mother, have you? A lot of companies include additives in the snacks to improve the taste. Those aren't nutritious for kids. On top of that, the kids are picky. They won't eat just any snacks," Luke said as he walked into the supermarket.

Luca glanced around and found that there were no reporters around, so she followed behind him and walked into the supermarket.

She thought that she would just buy what she needed while Luke went to get the children's snacks. They would go their own ways and the reporters would have nothing to write about.

After they walked into the supermarket, she grabbed a shopping trolley while Luke kept his hands empty.

"Mr. Crawford, aren't you going to buy snacks for the kids? Why didn't you get a trolley?" Luca asked.

"Your cart is more than enough. Why bother?" Luke put his hands in his pockets to make it clear that he did not intend to grab a trolley.

Luca knew that Luke had made up his mind to shop with her.

She no longer had to guess what Luke was trying to do...

After all, he had announced that he was interested in her prior. It would be meaningless to speculate.

Luca pushed the trolley and walked toward the fruits and vegetables area.

Luke followed behind her.

Luca subconsciously looked around. When he saw her, he could not help but tease her. "You look like a character in a TV series."

It was rare for Luke to tease her like that. She would not have acted as such if he was not standing beside her.

"Mr. Crawford, I didn't expect that a busy man like you would spend your time watching TV shows." She was too lazy to continue the conversation when she heard his teasing remark.

"I generally don't, but I'll watch some on and off. Rainie doesn't like watching cartoons anymore. She likes watching TV shows. She'll usually watch TV on the second floor while Tommy watches cartoons on the TV on the first floor," Luke said.

Luca nodded. It was normal for kids to think that cartoons were childish and move on to watch TV shows as they grew older.

"Why don't you ask me what you look like at the moment?" Luke was slightly bothered that she did not seem to care about what he said, so he continued to tease her.

Luca picked up the vegetables and asked in a casual tone, "What do I look like?"

"You look like a thief." Luke took a jab. "You're looking around like you're about to do something bad."

"I just don't want to get myself into trouble." Luca picked up a handful of vegetables and put them in the shopping cart. While she was picking the vegetables, she was also thinking about what she would be preparing for dinner later that night.

Luke raised an eyebrow.

'She thinks of me as trouble? We don't have to be like this if she just admits that she's Bianca.'

After Luca picked the vegetables, she bought some meat. She bought more groceries because she would be cooking for three children, two of them, and the cleaning lady.

While she was picking and choosing, she was also paying attention to whether anyone was sneakily taking a photo of them.

Luke said, "Don't worry, normal reporters can't come into this supermarket."

"Why?" Luca looked at him, puzzled.

"This neighborhood is loved by popular celebrities, so the supermarket deliberately set up a rule to ensure the privacy of those celebrities. Anyone with video equipment is not allowed in. Do you see the supermarket staff? Don't you think that there are more of them compared to ordinary supermarkets? This is all to protect the privacy of celebrities. If they see someone holding a phone to take a photo, the staff will stop them and shoo them out of the supermarket." Luke could not bear to see her so nervous, so he told her the truth.

After all, he wanted to be by her side to get groceries hereafter.

Luca nodded. There was indeed more staff there than in other supermarkets. She thought it was because the supermarket had a good turnover.

"Fans are not allowed to follow movie stars here. If they're found, they'll be shooed out and blacklisted. The facilities here are well-rounded, so the stars love this community," Luke said. He did not want her to worry.

"Is that so? No wonder the prices here are so expensive. They do it to maintain the profit margins." Luca sighed.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1775-After Luca bought the ingredients to make chicken soup and dinner, they walked to the snacks area. She watched Luke pick out several snacks and put them in the shopping cart.

She secretly jotted down the snacks in her head.

After that, the two of them went to the checkout counter. The cashier put all the items in the shopping bag. Before Luca could react, Luke paid for the bill using his phone.

Luca had no choice but to follow behind him. She wanted to settle the bill by herself but did not expect that he would fight for the bill.

Once they got home, the children surrounded them.

Tommy blinked his big watery eyes and asked, "Daddy, did you buy any snacks?"

"Yes, they're all in the bag," Luke said.

"That's wonderful. Long live Ms. Luca!" Tommy clapped and hugged Luca's hand.

"Huh? Long live me?" Luca looked at the children in amazement. Luke was the one who got them the snacks, so she was not sure why they were cheering for her instead.

"If not for you, Ms. Luca, Daddy probably wouldn't get us anything to eat. Then we'd have to go through another day without snacks. Ms. Luca, I truly feel like Daddy's child when you're around!' Tommy complained about Luke on purpose.

Luke was not bothered by what Tommy said. After all, he knew that he did so to keep Luca around.

He would do anything as long as Luca would stay.

Luca looked at Tommy, patted his head helplessly, and said, "Your daddy was the one who bought these. You should thank him."

"We'll listen to everything that you say, Ms. Luca. Thank you, Daddy!" Tommy turned his head with a smile. He winked cheekily as he thanked Luke.

He had planned it out with his siblings.

If their mommy thought their daddy did not take good care of them, she would be reluctant to leave. As such, they were doing their best to make it seem like Luke did not care about them at all.

Luca put the shopping bags on the coffee table and took out the children's snacks. "These snacks are for you. Make sure you don't eat all of them at once, okay?"

"Got it, Ms. Luca," the kids said in unison.

Luke did not say anything when the children slandered him. His goal would be achieved as long as Luca believed them and was reluctant to have the children leave.

After Luca took out the snacks, she picked up the shopping bag and walked to the kitchen.

Tommy followed behind her like a little bootlicker. "Ms. Luca, are you going to cook?"

"Yeah, I'm going to make some chicken soup for Aunt Nina," Luca replied.

Tommy's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Ms. Luca, can you make some more? We want to have the chicken soup you make too. Since we started eating your cooking, we realized that other people's food isn't as good. Even when Daddy takes us out to eat, the food isn't as good as your cooking either."

Luca nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll make more. We'll have chicken soup for dinner tonight?"

"Yay! Ms. Luca, life is great with you around." Tommy followed her into the kitchen.

Lanie and Rainie looked at Tommy, then looked at each other. Lanie took the lead and said, "I told you Tommy was the best person to do this."

"Yes, we'll leave these to Tommy moving forward." Rainie decided. They were older kids and no longer what they were when they were five years old. It felt a little childish if they were to say the things he said.

However, it was different with Tommy. He was still at a childish age, so there was nothing wrong with him saying things like that.

Luke listened to his daughter and son's conversation while laughing.

"Daddy, don't laugh. We're helping you." Rainie protested.

"Mm, it's a great arrangement. You're choosing the right people to do the right things. That's smart," Luke said and walked upstairs.

There were too many things that happened today, so he did not have the chance to deal with the tasks in T Corporation. He was going to work.

Each bedroom in the villa was quite large. Luca had asked for the study to be used as a laboratory, so his desk and the children's desks were all placed in their respective bedrooms. They did not use the other bedrooms.

After Luca made the chicken soup, she called the children to come over and eat.

After a while, the kids and the cleaning lady were sitting at the dining table, waiting to eat. However, Luke was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Mr. Crawford?" Luca asked.

"Ms. Luca, Daddy is still working in his room," Rainie said in a childish voice.

"Is that so? Ask him to come down and tell him it's time for dinner," Luca said to Rainie.

"No, I don't want to go." Rainie shook her head.

Luca was a little stunned that the child refused to do as she asked. "Why don't you want to go?"

"Daddy is very serious when he works and doesn't like to be disturbed. He'll come down to eat when he's hungry," Rainie explained.

When the cleaning lady heard that, she stood up and said, "I'll go tell Young Master Luke to come downstairs for dinner."

Rainie grabbed the cleaning lady's hand and said, "Aunt, don't go. It's scary when Daddy gets angry. I don't want him to be angry at you."

When the cleaning lady heard it, she stopped what she was doing to ensure that she could keep her job. However, she was not sure what to do next. She said, "The chicken soup will not taste good when it's cold. He might blame me for it."

"Ms. Luca, you can take the chicken soup to Daddy's bedroom. He won't be angry if you go. Daddy makes use of every minute to deal with work, so Ms. Luca, you should go. I'm sure he won't be mad at you," Rainie said.

Luca understood what Rainie meant.

Luke, who was busy at work, did not want to be disturbed. However, it would be okay if she went?

Would he be able to tolerate her interrupting his work as before?

"Yeah, Ms. Luca, hurry up. Daddy's stomach is weak. He can't go hungry." Lanie urged.

"Okay, then. You can start eating. I'll bring a bowl upstairs for him." Luca did not read into it. She understood the kids' intentions and just went with it.

She took a small plate and put some side dishes to pair with the chicken soup. Considering that the weather was cold, if Luke did not drink the chicken soup in time, the chicken soup would go cold. She took a thermos flask and filled it with chicken soup. She then carried a tray upstairs.

She arrived at Luke's bedroom, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. "Mr. Crawford, it's me."

"Come in," Luke said.

Luca freed one hand, kept her balance, opened the door, and saw Luke sitting in front of the desk. He looked busy, so she put the tray aside. "Mr. Crawford, the kids say you won't go downstairs for dinner when you're busy. I brought you chicken soup. Remember to have some."

"Mm." Luke glanced at her before his gaze returned to the computer screen again.

He was in a meeting with international partners, so he did not pay too much attention to her.

Luca did not bother him seeing that he was so busy. She just turned around and walked out.

‘Luke is so busy... Maybe I shouldn't have said yes to him sending me to the hospital just now.'

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1776-After she was done with dinner, Luca set off to the hospital with a thermos flask in her hand.

After Luke finished his meeting, he came down with the tray, which the cleaning lady immediately took to the kitchen. He subconsciously looked for Luca.

However, he did not see her.

Tommy sat on the sofa and read a storybook. When he saw Luke looking around, he said, "Daddy, you don't need to look for Ms. Luca. Ms. Luca has already left."

"She went out?" Luke frowned and sat beside his son.

"Yeah. Ms. Luca went out after dinner. She said she was going to visit Aunt Nina." Tommy was a qualified messenger.

"Why didn't she ask me to drive her?" Luke took his son's storybook and flipped it resignedly.

When he saw how Luke reacted, Tommy took his storybook and said, "Ms. Luca knew that you were busy, so she didn't want to bother you. She cares about you. Why are you unhappy about that?"

Seeing how street smart Tommy was, Luke suspected that he watched those TV shows with Rainie. He raised his hand and flicked his forehead with his fingers. "You're just a kid. Don't worry about what the adults are up to."

Tommy rubbed his forehead in pain. "Daddy, I won't care about you anymore. I don't get why you're upset when Ms. Luca is being considerate to you."

"I'd rather she trouble me more." Luke believed that loving someone included solving their troubles. He was more than happy to do so.

Tommy picked up his storybook and jumped off the sofa. He shook his head helplessly when he saw how his Daddy acted. Adult relationships were not something that a child like him understood.

Luke's face was stern when he saw how Tommy reacted. "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing. The world of adults is too complicated for me. I'd better go back to the bedroom and read my storybook," Tommy said and headed upstairs with his storybook in his hand.

Luke stood up as well.

Luca did not want to trouble him, so he would continue working. He would have more time to win over her if his work was well managed.

Anyway, they had the rest of their lives together. He believed more than anything that Luca was destined to be with him.

Luca arrived at the hospital, walked into the ward, and noticed that Percy was still around. He won some brownie points from her.

He was worried that Nina would be in danger if she were left alone in the hospital, so he took care of her and never left her side. It was a good thing. With him around, Nina would be safe. She would not have to worry about being harassed by Pierre and his men.

"Luca, you're here!" Nina smiled when she saw Luca.

Luca walked in with the thermos and said, "Yes, I promised to cook chicken soup for you. Do you want to have some now?"

"Yes, I haven't eaten in a while. I'm so hungry that it's making me uncomfortable. I'd love to have some chicken soup now." Nina smiled. The chicken soup Luca brought was timely as it could relieve the discomfort in her stomach.

Percy frowned and asked, "Your stomach is feeling uncomfortable? Why didn't you tell me?"

Nina did not want him to know. After all, it was just an upset stomach. She knew she would feel better after drinking something warm, so she did not say anything and waited for Luca to come.

She did not expect to be so excited when she saw Luca carrying the chicken soup that she let it slip.

"It's nothing to worry about. I'll feel better after I have some chicken soup," Nina quickly said for fear that Percy would get all the doctors involved and ask them to do a bunch of examinations on her.

"You were on a hunger strike for a few days. A little discomfort can end up being a big problem." Percy wanted the doctor to come and do a check-up on her.

He could not bear to lose Nina. He did not want to take any risk.

"I'm fine, trust me." Seeing that he was about to look for a doctor, Nina quickly persuaded him to stop. She looked at Luca and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Luca to check my pulse. Her medical skills are even praised by Mr. Crawford."

Luca nodded. She also thought that Nina had no major problem, so she looked at Percy and asked, "Why don't you let me take her pulse?"

Percy nodded. He trusted her medical skills.

Luca reached out and took Nina's pulse. The atmosphere in the ward became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

After a while, she withdrew her hand.

Percy was very anxious. He asked, "How is she?"

"There's no major problem. She's just slightly malnourished." Luca opened the thermos flask with a smile while she poured out the chicken soup. "The malnutrition can be cured as long as she eats well, so it's up to you, Mr. Percy. "

She meant for Percy to take good care of Nina. Nina blushed and said, "Luca, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm telling the truth. Mr. Percy is a good man, and I'm sure he wants to take care of you for the rest of his life." Luca handed the bowl of chicken soup to her. She was slightly envious.

Although Nina had gone through some hardships, she had a bright future where she and Percy could have a fairytale ending.

On the contrary, she previously lived a very happy life with Luke and gave him children. However, their future was a bumpy ride.

It was likely that she and Luke would not get their happy ending.

"I can take care of myself." Nina handed the chicken soup to Percy. "Do you want some?"

"I'm good. You can have it all." Percy looked at her gluttonous expression, it seemed that Luca's cooking was indeed delicious.

It was a pity that she belonged to Luke. Otherwise, he would have hired her to cook for Nina every day.

"Both of you can have some. I brought a lot. It's enough for two people," Luca said as she picked up the bowl next to her and filled it up.

Nina handed him the bowl in her hand and said, "Did you hear her? Have some."

Percy nodded and took the bowl.

Luca watched as the two drank the chicken soup without saying a word. She felt like a third wheel, so she closed the lid of the thermos and said, "Enjoy yourselves. I'll head off now. There's still a lot of soup in the thermos. Feel free to finish it."

"You're leaving so soon?" Nina looked at her, stunned.

"Yeah, I don't want to be a third wheel. I still have a lot of work to attend to. Have fun." Luca turned around to leave. She did not want to bother them, they needed the alone time.

After she left the ward, she walked straight out of the hospital.

She wanted to go back to the villa to work, but unexpectedly, she saw Pierre when she passed by the hospital's parking lot.

When she thought of everything he had done, including Nina's kidnapping, she clenched her fists. She watched him close the door and walked toward him quickly.

"Pierre!" Luca's voice was full of anger. After she grabbed her phone and pressed the record button, she rushed directly in front of him.

Pierre's expression was gloomy. When he saw it was her, he sneered and said, "What do you want? Do you want to come to me?"

"What did you say?! I'll tear you into pieces!" Luca clenched her fists. She could not help it. She wanted to hit him in the face.

"Wow, even after being kidnapped, you're still so short-tempered." Pierre narrowed his eyes and looked at her flawless forehead. "No scars? It seems that Luke took good care of you. No wonder you're willing to be his mistress."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1777-Luca frowned when he dragged her through the mud. She said, full of disgust, "You kidnapped Nina, didn't you?”

Pierre sneered. He was in a bad mood because Nina was rescued by Percy. Luca appeared in front of him when he needed a place to vent.

Since someone was willing to be his punching bag, he was more than happy to do so.

"Are you slandering me? If I was the one who kidnapped her, why would the police let me show up here safe and sound?" Pierre was arrogant and domineering. He was not at all worried that Percy would call him out.

They were brothers. He thought that Percy would not be so stupid to go against him for a woman.

On top of that, the Mallory family would never allow Percy to send him to prison because of a woman. Having seen the scale of his company, Old Master Mallory loved him.

"There's no one else here. Why are you beating about the bush?" Luca knew that he was poking fun at her. No matter what, she was determined for him to confess his crime.

"Luca, do you have any evidence?" Pierre narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. She had a completely different personality from Nina. His intuition told him that this woman was not one to mess with.

However, he had never been afraid of anyone, let alone a woman. The more dangerous a woman seemed, the more he would want to find out more about her.

"Evidence? I don't have any, but you know what you've done. There's no one around right now. I didn't expect you to be so timid. You dare to plan a kidnapping but don't have the guts to admit to it. What? Are you planning to pay off your subordinates and the maid to take the blame? Yes, you only have

money left. What else can you do other than pay people off? What a coward. I'm glad that Nina didn't choose you. She's so happy with Percy." Luca's words pierced Pierre's heart bit by bit.

"What did you say?!" Pierre clenched his fists. He was uneasy when he heard her mocking him.

When he heard that Nina was with Pierre, he was even less calm. His heart was full of longing for Nina. He would never allow the woman he wanted to be with Percy.

"Do you not understand me? The part about you being a coward? Or the part where Nina accepted that the person she has always loved is Mr. Percy, so she has decided to let go of the past and be with him?" Luca knew that her provocation was working as his gaze was doleful.

She continued to do so as she was not worried that he would do anything to her in front of the hospital.

Under normal circumstances, Pierre would not necessarily be her opponent. If he tried something, she would have an excuse to go all out on him.

There was surveillance in the area. If he pursued the matter, she could say that she acted in self- defense.

Moreover, she was familiar with the anatomy of the human body. She could be as ruthless as she wanted. She would not cause serious injury. He would simply hurt real bad for a few days.

"Luca, how dare you?!" Pierre's hands were clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking.

"Why are you so angry? The person who kidnapped Nina wanted to win her heart but unexpectedly, he sent the helve after the hatchet. Nina was previously in a dilemma and had been avoiding Mr. Percy. But now, she has you to thank for..." Luca continued to prod him because she wanted to record him admitting that he was the one who kidnapped Nina.

She knew about Percy's difficult position, but she did not want to let a good-for-nothing like Pierre continue to harm others.

"You're courting death!" Pierre could not hold back any longer. He raised his fist to Luca's face.

Luca reacted quickly and ducked. She knew what exactly to say when she saw his furious appearance.

"Oh wow, you want to hit a woman? Why? You're pissed to see Nina making the right choice? At the end of all of this, she'll have to thank you for kidnapping her this time, no?"

"Shut your mouth!" Pierre wanted to tear her apart.

"You did a good deed by kidnapping her even though you're timid and dare not admit that you planned the kidnapping." Luca continued to trigger him.

Pierre was raging mad. He shouted, "What if I planned it? I'm going to kill you today!"

He lunged at Luca.

Luca deftly dodged him once again. "You kidnapped Nina." novelbin

"Yes, it was me. What are you going to do about it? Nina chose Percy now but she'll choose me in the future. I won't go look for her today but I'll take you to hell today!" Pierre said fiercely, reaching out to hit Luca.

Luca chose the perfect timing and deftly dodged his attack. At the same time, she grabbed his wrist with one hand.

"Ah!" Pierre was in pain. The sudden pain made him almost unable to stand.

Luca looked at him indifferently and said, "Pierre, if you hadn't gone for a sneak attack the last time, do you think I would've been kidnapped so easily? I didn't expect that you would pay someone off even

after I was found in your villa. I'll avenge myself and Nina today."

After she said that, she found the perfect timing when Pierre was not paying attention and raised her other hand, whacking him in the spot under his ribs.

The place where she hit was the second most vulnerable place for a man.

When a man was hit on the vital point, it would hurt. However, this pain was twice as painful as that. Even so, not many knew about this pulse point.

"Ah!" Pierre was in pain. When he wanted to scream at Luca, he stopped abruptly.

Luca kicked him off and said, "I wish I could kill you."

Pierre could not stand anymore. He fell to the ground and looked at the ferocious woman in front of him.

She looked weak but she attacked so fiercely that even a well-trained man could not achieve such a level of skillfulness.

Pierre covered his stomach. He could not tell where the pain was coming from. He just knew that it hurt like hell. He was subdued just from one move.

He felt that he had lost his dignity and said viciously, "Luca, damn you! I'll never let you go!"

"I won't let you go either. I'll hit you every time I see you." Luca clapped her hands and warned him, "Whatever it is, come at me. I'll let you understand what it feels like to be a living dead."

After she said that, she turned around to leave.

Hitting him had not relieved her hatred, but she got the recording she wanted. She did not want to stay here any longer.

She took out the phone in her pocket and pressed save. Then, she left the hospital and took a cab back to the villa.

She did not send the recording to Percy right away because she wanted to see what his next steps were.

As soon as she returned to the villa, she was surrounded by the children.

Luca watched as the children talked all around her. The corners of her mouth could not help revealing a warm smile.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1778-Luca was patient. She waited until the kids had finished talking before replying to each of them. Then, she asked them, "Where's your daddy?"

Rainie pointed upstairs, "Daddy is upstairs. He's still working."

"Alright. Be good. I'm going upstairs to discuss something with him." Luca had bought some chocolate- flavored candies before she came back. She took them out of her pocket and gave two candies to each of them. Then, she headed upstairs.

After what had happened today, she was pretty sure that she would not get into trouble. Still, she had to tell Luke about it.

She walked upstairs to the second floor. Luca directly knocked on his bedroom door. This time, it was not because of her affairs but about Nina and the Mallory family. It had nothing to do with their love matters. Hence, she was able to face him directly.

"Come in." Luke's voice came from inside.

Luca pushed the door open and saw that the man was busy with his work. He was typing on the keyboard handling his work. He was not in a meeting, so he was available to talk.

"Mr. Crawford, I'd like to have a word with you. Can you spare me five minutes of your time?" she asked.

"Come in and talk to me. I'm not used to talking to someone from a far distance," Luke said in a cold tone as he glanced at Luca, who was still standing at the door.

Luca was startled for a moment. She told herself that his bedroom was not some bottomless abyss. She walked in.

Luke pointed at the couch beside him and said, "Sit down and talk."

"There's no need to. It's not really a big deal. It's just that I ran into Pierre when I came out of the hospital just now. I couldn't help but give him a lecture." Luca told him what she did.

Luke frowned and looked at her. "Are you hurt?"

Luca was slightly surprised. He did not blame her or judge her for what she did. Instead, he was concerned about her and asked if she was hurt.

"No. He can't lay a finger on me," she answered honestly. The incident last time was merely an accident.

If he had not used dirty tricks to trap her after kidnapping her, she would not have ended up in such a mess.

Luke looked at her from head to toe. He nodded his head after making sure that she was not hurt. "It'd be better to avoid someone like Pierre when you see him next time."

Luca replied, "Alright."

She knew that she would have to face Pierre's revenge after dealing with him.

He was a petty man. Besides, she could not predict when Pierre would strike again.

"Did you beat him up badly?" Luke asked again. He did not intend to blame her for punishing him by beating him up.

"Perhaps," Luca replied honestly. It might not be considered serious because there were no wounds on his body. Even if he went for a check-up, the doctor would not be able to tell what was wrong with him. However, she was sure that he would be in pain for a couple of days after she beat him up.

Luke looked at her. What was she talking about?

Luca then explained, "He's going to suffer for the next few days. But there are no wounds on his body, and he won't be able to find out what's wrong with him either."

Luke knew that she must have used her own ways to teach Pierre a lesson.

After all, after what had happened the last time and Nina getting kidnapped by him this time, Luca must be holding a grudge against him.

"Apart from these?" Luke knew there was more to it apart from her teaching Pierre a lesson.

Luca was stunned. How did he know her so well? Yes, there was something else she wanted to talk to him about...

"There's a recording." Luca took her phone out and hit the play button.

After Luke finished listening to it, he did not frown. Instead, he said, "The recording—"

"I'm not planning to give it to Mr. Mallory. I don't know what he's up to, but if he can't handle this matter properly, I'll consider sending this to him," said Luca.

She still thought of letting Percy deal with Nina's affair himself, but she would lend him a hand when necessary.

The recording was just a backup.

Luke gazed deeply at her. She had changed a lot. She could do anything to protect the people she cared about regardless of the consequences.

She could even go this far for Nina. However, she chose to run away from him.

There was nothing Luke could do. He had no choice but to advise her and say, "Pierre won't let you get away with it. Be careful."

"Okay." Luca was still surprised that he did not blame her for being impulsive.

After telling Luke what she wanted to say, she looked at the thick pile of folders on his table. She refused to bother him any longer. "Mr. Crawford, I'm going back to work first."

"Alright," replied Luke.

Luca turned around and left. Then, she closed the door.

Luke watched her from behind as she disappeared behind the wooden door. He let out a sigh. "When will you openly face me?"

Luca returned to her bedroom and took out the documents that needed to be translated. She sat down at the table and began translating.

She told the children that she had something to do and would be busy. The three of them could not have been more considerate. They did not come in to disturb her.

They did not even come to the second floor.

Two hours later, Luca was done translating one document. When she was about to head downstairs to get a glass of water, she pushed the door open and saw the maid pacing back and forth outside Luke's bedroom.

“What's the matter?" Luca stepped forward and asked when she saw the uneasiness on the maid's expression.

The maid saw her and said immediately, "Ms. Luca, the police officers are downstairs. They claim that they're looking for you."

Luca was puzzled. Why was the maid outside Luke's bedroom if they were looking for her?

"Are they downstairs?"

The maid nodded. She instantly stopped Luca when she saw Luca going downstairs. "Ms. Luca, it seems that they're looking for you because you beat someone up. Why don't you let Mr. Crawford handle this?"

Luca shook her head. She knew the police officers were here because of Pierre's matter.

She did not expect Pierre to be so shameless. He even called the police after getting beaten up by a woman. Was he not embarrassed to be taught a lesson by a woman?

"It's not a big deal. I can handle this myself." Luca did not want to disturb Luke.

She did not leave any wounds on Pierre's body. Hence, there was nothing the police officers could do about this. Even though there were surveillance cameras there, they would still be able to see that Pierre was the one who started it. She was just defending herself.

She did not even leave a wound on his body when she defended herself against him. What could the police officers say?

Luca was preparing to go downstairs to talk with those police officers. Luke's bedroom door was pushed open when she took a step forward.

Luke stared at the maid outside the door, then at Luca, who was not far away from her. He asked, "What happened?"

The maid was worried that she might disturb him if she knocked on the door. That was why she was hesitating outside the door. She immediately told Luke when she saw him, "Mr. Crawford, there are two police officers downstairs. They came to look for Ms. Luca, claiming that Ms. Luca beat someone up. And they want her to cooperate with them in the investigation."

Luke frowned and turned to look at Luca. novelbin

Her expression was calm, and there was not even a trace of fear or worry on her face.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1779-Luke knew Luca would leave herself a way out. Even though the police officers had come looking for her, there was nothing they could do to her.

However, he would never allow the woman he loved to suffer. Hence, he put a cold expression on his face and walked in front of Luca. "Come on. Let's see what they're up to."

Luca looked at the man's tall figure from behind. She zoned out a little.

Luke was standing in front of her to protect her. When Luca recalled what he did for her every time she was in trouble, she would always have mixed feelings deep in her heart. It was a bittersweet feeling.

Luca did not space out for long. The moment Luke stepped on the stairs, she quickly followed behind him.

The police officers who were waiting in the living room saw Luke coming down first. They exchanged glances with each other.

Did they not come here to arrest a woman called Luca? Why was Luke Crawford here?

“Sir, why is the woman together with Luke Crawford?” a young police officer asked in a low voice. Could it be that there was something unusual going on in between them?

The older police officer shook his head and replied, "Stop minding other people's business. We're police officers, not reporters."

The younger police officer nodded his head. Suddenly, he remembered Luke's scandal that happened a few months ago.

Was it not fake news? It was true?

"Bring the children upstairs." Luke saw that the three children were sitting on the same couch, staring at the police officers curiously. Luke's face darkened, and he ordered the maid.

The maid replied and brought the three children upstairs hurriedly.

Luca came right up to the police officers, looking calm. She could feel that Luke was dissatisfied. Then, she spoke first. "Why are you looking for me?"

The older police officer looked at them and asked in a stern tone, "You're Luca Craw?"

"Yes," Luca replied in a simple yet confident manner. She did not show any guilt in front of the police officers.

The police officers who thought she would behave arrogantly because she had Luke's support were surprised to see her being so cooperative.

The older police officer said, "Please follow us back to the police station." “What for?" Luca asked him even though she knew the reason. The expression on her face was calm as usual. There was no doubt that these police officers came here because of Pierre's matter.

"We believe that you're involved in an alleged assault case against Mr. Pierre Mallory. So, please follow us back to the police station for the investigation," said the older police officer. He glanced at the document in his hands. It was Pierre Mallory who reported it.

"Sure. But please let me go upstairs and get changed first." Luca did not put them in a difficult spot. She turned around and went upstairs.

The two police officers waited downstairs. They shot a glance at Luke. The expression on his face was as cold as stone. He looked like a demon from hell.

They knew it would be tough to deal with this case, but they had to do it. Whenever someone reported a case to them, it was their duty to investigate it. They were secretly glad that Luca was willing to cooperate with them.

Luca got changed and went downstairs. She looked at the three people in the living room.

Luke had been sizing the two police officers up. His aura was so strong that the two police officers dared not to speak a word.

Luca walked toward them and said, "Alright. Let's go."

The young police officer heard her and took the handcuffs out.

Luca frowned and reminded him, saying, "I'm just following you back to the station to help in the investigation. I shouldn't be considered a convict before things are figured out yet, right?"

"Yes, that's right. What you said is right. Keep the handcuffs away," the older police officer said politely. Handcuffs were only applicable when they dealt with people who did not comply with the law.

The younger police officer kept the handcuffs away after listening to what the older police officer said.

The older police officer was more experienced. He was already grateful that Luca was willing to take the initiative to cooperate with them. "Thank you for your cooperation. The police car is out there. Please come with me."

Luca nodded. She turned around and shot a glance at Luke. She said, "I'll be back soon."

"Alright." Luke's facial expression was still livid. Luca did not ask for his help even when she was facing the police officers alone. It was as though she could handle everything herself.

He was not used to Luca being so strong and independent.

Luca heard his response and knew that he would not do anything. Hence, she left with the police officers while feeling reassured.

When she reached the police station, the chief police officer sat down opposite her when she had just sat down.

Perhaps the older police officer had told him about her earlier. That was why the chief police officer was polite to her. He served her a cup of tea before he began the interrogation.

Luca looked at her phone without lifting her head.

She did not want to waste her time. Hence, she had taken a few photos of the documents that she needed to translate when she went to get changed. This way, she would be able to continue to do her translation work when she was here.

The chief police officer noticed that she did not intend to speak first. He had no choice but to say, "Ms. Luca, we received a police report and that's why we had to bring you here to cooperate in our investigation. I hope you can understand." "The person who reported me to the police is Pierre Mallory, right?" Luca still did not lift her head. She typed out the translated sentence in her notes app.

“Yes. Mr. Mallory claims that you attacked him at the hospital's parking lot. He's seriously injured and currently receiving treatment at the hospital.” The chief police officer wondered if she really injured someone. The woman in front of him was way too calm.

“Is it true that I injured him? Is there any injury assessment report?” Luca asked.

The chief police officer glanced at the police officer who was in charge of the case.

The police officer shook his head. Pierre only told him that he was receiving treatment at the hospital, but he did not show him any reports.

“It seems like there's no such report. The hospital would have provided him with an injury assessment report if I had really injured him. Now, can I sue Pierre Mallory for defamation?" Luca put her phone down and looked at the police officer while she asked.

The chief police officer looked at her with admiration. She was able to think clearly and speak articulately.

“Did he provide any evidence when you received the report?" The chief police officer turned around and asked his subordinates. He was not sure about the details of the case. He was attending a meeting when Pierre made the police report.

"Mr. Pierre's assistant sent a video, and Ms. Luca did attack him," the older police officer replied immediately. The police officers were dispatched to her residence because of the video. They failed to ask Pierre to provide an injury assessment report.

Luca asked, "Did it take place at the hospital's parking lot? Pierre was going to attack me, but I managed to dodge him. I only pinched him with my hands without using any tools. How could I possibly have injured him? Looking at this from a legal perspective, I was merely defending myself. I didn't cause him any serious injuries."

The chief police officer finished watching the video. Indeed, she was not holding any weapons when she dealt with Pierre. The man fell to the ground after getting touched twice.

The scene that looked like both of them were fighting could not be used as evidence that Luca had injured him.

The chief police officer had made his judgment. He smiled at Luca and said, "Ms. Luca, thank you for cooperating. After investigating, I've concluded that the case can't be considered as physical assault. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Why don't you let us send you back home?"

"Thank you, but I can hail a ride back home myself." Luca saved the translated document on her phone. Then, she stood up and asked, "Is there anything I need to sign?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1780-The chief police officer replied hurriedly, “No. There are no grounds to the case, so you don't have to sign anything."

Luca smiled and said, "Then I shall leave first."

"Sure, sure." The chief police officer sent her out of the police station himself. After watching her leave, he turned around and looked at his subordinates. "Next time, before you go and bring someone in to aid in the investigation, take a proper look at the evidence on hand and see whether or not the actions can be constituted as a crime. Just look at what happened today. We've only wasted our time and resources."

"Yes, Chief," the older police officer replied. He only watched the footage without thinking that much.

After analyzing the case, he believed that Pierre intentionally fell to the ground to set Luca up.

"This matter has to be made public. Write a review report later and hand it to me before you get off work." The chief police officer turned around and returned to his office after that.

"Yes, sir."

"And you'll have to submit a report for failing to file the case. If that man is unconvinced, then have him provide solid evidence to us. That's the only way we can continue to handle the case." The chief police officer turned around and added.

The older police officer nodded to indicate that he understood. "Yes, Chief."

After Luca left the police station, she sent a message to Johann: [Dr. Park, are you busy?]

Johann replied to her message soon after: [Not really. What's the matter?]

[I'd like you to help me enquire about Pierre Mallory's current condition.] Luca was curious. The police officers told her that Pierre was currently receiving treatment at the hospital, so he must be lying on the ward bed in the hospital now. What was worse was he could not lie still and quietly.

[He's in the hospital? Has his retribution finally come?] Johann was surprised. After all, people tended to get what they deserved. He did not expect karma to hit Pierre so soon.

[...] Luca was surprised that he would react that way.

Doctors were always called angels for their kind hearts. However, they were ordinary people too. All those things that Pierre did had provoked the anger of many. That was why Johann would say something like that.

[How did you know he's been admitted to the hospital? I didn't receive any news about it.] Johann continued to ask her after she sent him a few full stops.

[It's because of me that he had to be admitted to the hospital.] Luca was replying to his messages while she was in the taxi. [He should be in the neurology department if I'm not mistaken.

[Is it that serious? Did you hit him?] Johann was still surprised, and he opened the hospital's information system right away. He was different from the other doctors. He had the right to check every department's system in the hospital.

[Not at all. But he'll have to suffer some pain for a couple of days.] Luca replied to him as she waited for his result.

Johann found Pierre's information by entering his name. He clicked on it and saw his name. Indeed, Pierre was admitted to the hospital today. The main complaint was an unexplained pain in his body.

[Dr. Craw, I found his records. The main complaint states that there's unexplained pain in his body. Is he still a man? He can't even endure it and needs to be admitted to the hospital? He's not thinking of setting you up, right?] Johann despised Pierre from the bottom of his heart.

How could a ruthless man be admitted to the hospital just because of some pain...

Luca replied: [Dr. Park, I'd like you to monitor his situation from time to time. His condition isn't as simple as it seems.] She could guarantee that he would not die, but she was uncertain if Pierre would pass out from the pain.

Johann let out a sigh as he read the message on his phone. Luca and Luke were truly a couple, after all. They would ask for his help to keep an eye on everything.

Fortunately, it was convenient for him to do so in the hospital. Otherwise, he would have to keep heading to the other departments. That would indeed be tough for him.

[Sure. I'm just curious. Which part of the body did you strike? How can it be so painful?] Johann recalled the anatomy lessons he took before. He was not taught which part of the body would cause such severe pain when struck. Besides, there was nothing written on Pierre's diagnosis analysis. It seemed like there was no obvious answer for what was causing his pain.

[Would you like to try?] Luca was in a good mood, so she suddenly teased him.

Johann replied: [No, thank you. I'll probably have to take a look at him later. If they can't find the source of his pain, they'll come to ask for my help. I just wanted to ask you so that I won't be embarrassed later.]

[It's a long story. Even if you know how I did it, there's no way to treat it. You can only give him some painkillers. He'll be fine in two days.] Luca replied when she saw that the driver had almost reached the destination. She kept her phone.

Johann read her message and could not help but shiver. Her sophistication made him wonder what she had gone through in the past to become the way she was now.

Johann kept his phone away. The head of the neurology department came in hurriedly. “Dr. Park, are you available now?"

"Yes. I've finished performing all my surgeries today. Dr. Lance, why are you all sweaty? What happened?" Johann asked an obvious question.

"The second young master of the Mallory family has just come in today. His complaint is that he's suffering from unexplainable pain. I did every health check-up there is and nothing seems to be wrong with him. I can't find the source of his pain. I'd like to ask for your help to take a look at him. You're knowledgeable and well-informed, after all. You might be able to find out why," Mr. Lance pleaded with him.

Johann stood up. It was his fate to help Luke clean up Luca's mess. "Come on. Let's go take a look."

“That'll be great.” Dr. Lance looked more positive now. novelbin

Johann told him beforehand. "But I can't guarantee that I'll be able to figure out what's causing the pain. After all, there are too many reasons that can cause pain. Even if we form a medical team to perform screening examinations, we won't be able to find out within a week.”

Dr. Lance knew that too. He nodded his head instantly. "Of course, I know that. But two heads are better than one. I'm glad you're willing to help."

Johann nodded and followed him out of the office.

The two of them came to the ward. They could hear Pierre groaning in pain before they even went in.

He was cursing and swearing while he was in pain.

"What kind of shitty hospital is this? I've been here for so long but the doctors here have no way to stop the pain?"

Johann glanced at Dr. Lance. "Your patient has a really bad temper."

"There's nothing I can do. He's the second young master of the Mallory family in A City. That's just the way he is. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to trouble you," Dr. Lance said helplessly. They had been busy screening through the possible causes behind Pierre's pain.

However, Pierre could no longer wait for them. He scolded every doctor and nurse in the department.

They had already done a thorough health check-up on him, yet they still could not figure it out.

Johann put his hands in the pockets of his lab coat and walked into the ward.

"What's going on here?" he asked with a cold expression on his face. Every doctor here had to show respect to Pierre except for him.

It was because he was capable.

One's capability trumped over everything no matter where one was.

"The patient claims that he's suffering from abdominal pain, but we can't find the reason even after running through multiple medical examinations," one of the doctors answered immediately.

Johann looked at Pierre's face turning green and pale because of the pain. His heart tightened, and he was glad that he had never offended Luca. Otherwise, he would have ended up in the same state as Pierre
