Ch. 1861..1870

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1861-Luca was aware of the situation she was in and knew that she had to hand it over...

She opened the briefcase. Under the watchful eyes of Abel and Bailey, she took out the document.

Luca's hand trembled slightly the moment she handed it over. Once this document was in their hands, it was inevitable that T Corporation would suffer losses.

It was not the potential loss that T Corporation would face that she was uncomfortable with. After all, Luke could easily make up for the loss.

Moreover, even if she did not hand it to Bailey, Abel had another copy in his hands.

As such, there was no other way around it.

Luca was sad because she would be the one causing T Corporation to make a loss.

A greedy smile appeared on Bailey's face. He reached out to take the document in her hand. He glanced at it and confirmed that it was the formula.

He snapped his fingers to his subordinate.

His subordinate started to type on the computer.

Bailey explained, "It's too troublesome to bring a large case of cash. I'll transfer it to you through my Swiss account. Don't worry, it's very safe."

"I've always been comfortable doing business with you." Abel raised his glass.

Bailey also raised his glass, clinked it, took a sip of red wine, and looked at Luca wantonly.

After they finished their glass of wine, the money had been credited to Abel's account.

Abel confirmed that the money had been transferred, then stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Bailey, it was a pleasure working with you."

"It was a pleasure to work with you too. The formula I just got from you will make me a lot of money," Bailey said.

"Remember, you have to apply for a patent and go public before the timing I mentioned. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen after that." Abel reminded him.

"Sure thing. All our research and data are ready. We were just waiting for the formula. This is wonderful!" Bailey said. He was more than ready to make a fortune. His gaze fell on Luca again as he said, "Mr. Abel, your female subordinate is beautiful." "The women on our island are all beautiful," Abel said with a smile. The corners of his mouth twitched with malicious intent.

"No, she's different. Your female subordinates who I met before are not as beautiful as her," Bailey said. He did not conceal his interest in Luca.

Luca frowned. 'The deal is over. Can I go now?'

She could not leave since Abel had not said anything.

When he heard Bailey's words, Abel smiled more wantonly. "Mr. Bailey, I didn't know that you like faces like hers. Ivana, come and have a drink with Mr. Bailey."

Luca indifferently turned him down. "My job scope doesn't include being an escort!"

"Your job scope? Your job scope is determined by me. If I tell you to have a drink with Mr. Bailey, that's what you'll do!" Abel slammed the wine glass on the coffee table and looked furious.

Bailey was more interested when he saw how stubborn Luca was. "Mr. Abel, don't be angry. She's different from the other women I've met. She's a little shy, and I like her because of it. Why don't you

have her spend a night with me?"

"What if she won't?" Abel asked.

"She's your subordinate. Will she dare to disobey you?" Bailey wondered if Abel would let her spend the night with him.

"There's a rule on our island. If anyone doesn't want to accept the order I give, they can choose not to obey after they stab themselves," Abel said and threw a Swiss knife on the table.

Luca knew that he wanted her to make a choice.

If she chose to stab herself with the Swiss knife, she would not have to spend the night with Bailey.

Bailey looked at the sharp Swiss knife and said proudly, "What an interesting rule. It must be very painful to stab oneself with such a sharp knife?"

"Of course, we'd choose to stab at the spots with the least nerves, and at the same time, it won't hurt the vital organs. Very few will choose this punishment," Abel said. 'Except for Luca.'

Even if she had yet to choose, he knew that Luca would rather choose the knife than Bailey.

That was because she would never betray Luke.

He did it on purpose to see how far Luca would go for Luke.

"I'm a person who has compassion for women. Ms. Ivana, if you choose me, you'll suffer less and have a lot to gain. Choose me." Bailey was very confident that she would choose him.

After all, compared to getting stabbed, there were some benefits she could gain from choosing him. He believed that no woman could withstand such a temptation.

Abel did not say anything. He just looked at Luca.

Without any hesitation, Luca picked up the Swiss knife and said, "I choose the Swiss knife."

In an instant, Abel showed an expression indicating that he had predicted it all along. On the other hand, Bailey was stunned.

"Ms. Ivana, am I so terrible?" This was the first time he had been rejected by a woman.

Abel shook his head and said, "Mr. Bailey, it's not because you're terrible but her heart belongs to a man. Women can make any sacrifice for their lovers and won't betray them. Do you get it?” "I thought that this kind of love was extinct." Bailey watched Abel take the Swiss knife. He stood up and did not stop him. Since he could not get her, he was happy to settle for watching her suffer.

"It's not extinct. I'm one of those who have such a love as well," Abel said. If it were not for Kassy, he would not have planned this for so long.

Luca did not show any fear as she watched him open the Swiss knife.

Abel was ruthless and stabbed the knife into Luca's lower left rib.

Pain spread from the wound in an instant. Luca lowered her head. Without fear, she watched the clean knife go in and come out stained with blood.

Blood spilled from the wound.

Abel held the knife and wanted to see the look of pain on Luca's face. However, the woman was too stubborn and did not show any emotions.

He felt that it was not enough, so he stabbed her in the side again.

Bailey was taken aback by his action. "Isn't it only once?"

"This second stab is because I'm dissatisfied with the speed at which she's carrying out her mission. Ivana, I don't have much patience. You have to hurry up. When I ask for something and you don't have it, you know what'll happen." Abel drew his knife.

The blood from the knife splattered on the floor.

Luca lowered her head and looked at the blood on the floor. Her clothes were also stained with blood.

She was secretly thankful that she was wearing black, so no matter how much blood spilled out of her, it would not be that obvious.

Blood continued to pour out of her body. She looked at Abel and asked, "Anything else?"

Abel looked at the amount of blood she was bleeding. If she was stabbed again, she would likely lose too much blood and fall to the floor.

If she had no value to him, he would stab her again.

However, at the moment, Luca was still useful to him.

As such, he did not want to get into too much trouble. He threw the knife on the coffee table and said, "Don't think about betraying me. I know everything that you're doing."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1862-Luca looked down at the blood on the floor.

It was bright red and not yet solidified.

She was stabbed twice, and blood kept flowing out of her wound.

Luca felt the pain but she knew that she would not die.

Abel had picked the right spots to stab her. The pain was doubled, but as long as the wound was treated in time, there would be no major problem.

Luca looked at the man in front of her indifferently. Her face and lips became very pale because she was bleeding. She looked extremely weak.

"Anything else?" she asked.

Abel did not show admiration or sympathy for her calmness and weakness. He looked at her coldly and warned her for the last time, "Focus on what you need to get done."

Luca did not say anything. She turned around to leave.

The blood on her body would flow to the floor with every step she took.

Bailey watched her leave with a frown and said, "Mr. Abel, the people you trained are good. She got stabbed twice but left as if nothing happened."

"Everyone I trained can do this. Otherwise, how can they service big bosses such as yourself?" Abel said while he poured Bailey and himself another glass of red wine.

A glimmer of pride flashed in his eyes when he saw the blood on the floor that had yet to solidify.

'Luca has been thinking of ways to help Luke, but can she? Under my control, she'll never succeed!'

Bailey was delighted by what he said. He felt okay even without Luca's company. After all, he was rich and could get another woman easily.

"Mr. Abel, it was a pleasure to work with you." He raised his glass and said cheerfully.

"Our cooperation was a pleasant one." Abel was in a pleasant mood as the deal had gone well and he got to stab Luca.

'To stab Luca is to stab Luke's heart. If Luke knows that his beloved woman has suffered so much because of me, will he regret everything he did?'

He would surely regret it.

Every night when he went to sleep, he dreamt of Kassy. Abel would regret not staying on the Island of Despair.

If he had been on the Island of Despair, Kassy would not have suffered and Luke's plans would not have worked out.

They clinked glasses again, and Abel finished his drink in one gulp with a smile.

Luca walked out of the living room and slowly covered the wound with her hands.

She knew she had to stop the bleeding and took off her scarf.

The reason why she was dressed like this was not that she was afraid of the cold but because she had thought that something like this would happen. That was why she wore a scarf.

Times like this were when a scarf would be useful.

Luca bit her lip and picked up the scarf, intending to put pressure on the wound. She would deal with them when she arrived home...

After she walked out of the house, she was about to wrap the scarf around her wound under the dim street light when the man who opened the door for her suddenly stood behind her.

Even after she lost so much blood, Luca was still on high alert. She turned around immediately because it was very dangerous to face an enemy with one's back.

"Don't worry, I didn't receive any order to mess with you," the man said in Russian.

Luca blinked.

The man took out two rolls of gauze from his pocket and handed them over.

Luca looked at him warily and did not take them. "Why are you giving this to me? Did Abel ask you to do it?"

"No." The man shook his head. "He didn't give me any orders. I just want to give them to you. Take them. It's better to use these to press on the wound than your scarf."

Luca still did not take them. Too many things had happened that did not allow her to trust anyone easily.

Seeing that she refused to take them, the man sighed and explained, "You once helped me on the island. This is my repayment for your kindness."

Luca looked at the two unopened rolls of gauze, which she really needed at that moment.

"Aren't you afraid that Abel will punish you?"

"I am, so please quickly take them off my hands." The man said, "Don't worry, they've not been laced with poison."

Luca hesitated for a few seconds before she took the gauze and left.

When the man saw her leaving, he reminded her. "There's a public toilet a hundred meters in that direction. You can go there and wrap your wound."

Luca did not speak but she had heard what he said.

She walked forward about a hundred meters, saw a public toilet, and walked in without any hesitation.

There was no one in the public toilet. Luca endured the pain, took off her blood-soaked clothes, and then bit the gauze's packaging with her teeth. She wrapped the gauze tightly around her wound.

It hurt like hell, especially when she put pressure on them.

She had no choice but to endure it. If she could not bear the pain, she might fall to the ground at any time due to excessive blood loss.

If that happened, it would be unfortunate if no one came in or no one was on the street. She would be dead if they found her tomorrow.

It was not time for her to die...

Luca tightened the gauze and watched the blood seep out of the gauze. She felt a little helpless.

She had prepared everything except for medicine. She never thought that Abel would be so cruel to her.

He did it not because of Bailey. He had wanted to teach Luca a lesson for a while now but he never found a reason. Luca gave him a reason when she disobeyed his order to drink with Bailey.

He taught her a lesson in front of so many people...

Luca turned pale and put down her clothes. She was worried that the bleeding would scare the driver. Hence, she unfolded her scarf and wrapped it around her waist.

Her scarf was also black, so even if blood seeped out, no one could see it.

After she was done, Luca washed away the blood on her hands, stopped a cab, and returned to the apartment. After she got down, she endured the pain and took a few steps forward. She stopped another cab and told him the address of the villa.

The driver drove the car and noticed that she seemed off. He checked in on her, asking, "Ma'am, you don't look too well. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Luca took a deep breath and said.

The driver said, "Should I take you to the hospital?"

"I'm fine, just a little motion sickness. Please get me home as soon as possible." Luca rejected the driver's kind gesture.

When the driver saw that, he knew it was not his place to say anything. Hence, he just focused on driving to the villa.

Luca closed her eyes, silently enduring the pain from her wounds. She was feeling weak because of the blood loss.

She estimated that when she was about to arrive at the villa, she would not have the strength to walk. Hence, she took her phone and called Nina.

Nina had put the children to sleep. Her phone rang, and she immediately answered. "Luca, what's the matter?"novelbin

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1863-"Nina, are the kids asleep?" Luca asked. She did not want to scare them.

"They're asleep. What happened? Why do you sound so weak?" Nina noticed how terrible she sounded and asked quickly.

"Something happened. Can you drive over and pick me up at the gate of the villa? I can't walk, and they don't allow cabs to go in," Luca said. If she had the strength, she would not want to trouble Nina.

"Okay, I'll come out right now." Nina did not dare to delay things. She immediately took the keys and left the villa. Her car was parked in the parking space outside the villa.

"Ma'am, we're here. Are you sure you're alright?" The driver noticed that Luca's complexion was getting worse and worse.

"I'm alright. I've asked a friend to pick me up, thank you." Luca held on. After she paid, she opened the car door, endured the pain, and got out.

She saw Nina's car parked on the side of the road inside the villa area.

Luca gritted her teeth and walked forward.

It was too dark, so even though Nina was there, she did not notice that Luca had gotten out of the cab. When Nina saw Luca, Luca had already walked in.

Her slightly hunched back was completely different from how she usually appeared.

Nina walked forward immediately and asked with concern, "Luca, are you okay?"

Luca was covering her ribs. She had bandaged the area with gauze and covered it with a scarf, so she was not sure if she was still bleeding.

She shook her head and said, "Help me get in the car."

Nina wanted to see where she was injured but she dared not delay things. She immediately helped Luca into the car, then sat in the driver's seat and drove back to the villa.

After she parked the car, Nina helped Luca to go inside.

When they arrived in the living room, she noticed how abnormal Luca seemed. The scarf that should have been around her neck was now around her waist.

"Luca, is your waist injured? I smell blood..." Nina frowned at the strong smell of blood. It seemed that Luca was seriously injured.

"Please help me to the second floor. I can't do it myself." Luca bit her pale lip to give herself some strength.

Nina nodded and immediately supported her. Since she did not know where Luca was injured, she had to grab her arm and help her up the stairs step by step.

It was only 20 steps, but it took Luca, who was supported by Nina, a while before they got to the second floor.

The two were already out of breath.

Cold sweat broke out on Luca's back, and sweat beads appeared on Nina's forehead as well.

"Do you want to go into the bedroom?" she asked nervously.

Luca nodded. She was worried that their movements would wake the children, so she whispered, "Don't be too loud. I'm afraid it'll scare the children."

"Okay." Nina tried to be as quiet as she could and helped her into the bedroom.

Luca could not hold it any longer. She staggered and fell onto the bed.

Nina looked at how weak she seemed and said while frightened, "Luca, we should call you an ambulance?"

"I'm fine. I don't need an ambulance." Luca closed her eyes and was secretly glad that Nina was there. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to deal with it all. "Nina, I need your help."

"I don't even know where you're hurt. How can I help you? I don't have any medical knowledge." Nina looked at her weak appearance and was stressed out.

"Don't be afraid. First, help me take out the box full of jars from the drawer under the dresser." Luca had been friends with her for so many years. She knew that Nina was not scared of blood.

This was something only people who were not scared of blood could do.

Nina took a deep breath. Since Luca refused to go to the hospital, she was all Luca had. She listened to her, opened the drawer of the dresser, and saw the box Luca mentioned at a glance.

She picked it up, opened it, looked at the bottles and jars inside, and asked, "Which one is it?"

"The blue jar. And the transparent one is the disinfectant. Bring the small white box over too." Luca opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. Her view was blurry because she had lost too much blood. She felt that the light in front of her was dim.

Nina grabbed all of them immediately and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"The scissors are in another drawer. Please take them," Luca said. She bit her lip and unwrapped the scarf.

Nina took out the scissors, turned around, and saw Luca's torn clothes. She immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Luca, were you stabbed?"

Luca did not make a sound. She rolled up her clothes and said, "Cut off the gauze and help me get up." Nina nodded and cut off the gauze with trembling hands. The wound on Luca's waist was immediately exposed.

The bloody wound looked horrendous.

Nina could even see blood spurting out.

"Help me up." Luca reminded her when she noticed that Nina was stunned.

Nina came back to her senses and immediately helped her get up.

Luca leaned against the head of the bed and glanced down at her wound. She seemed indifferent, which was a stark contrast to Nina, who was panicking.

"Give me the disinfectant," she ordered.

Nina stood there in shock and subconsciously handed over the disinfectant. She even forgot to unscrew the bottle cap.

Luca struggled to unscrew the cap. She then poured the entire bottle of antiseptic over the wound.

Nina took a deep breath.

'This is a disinfectant... It must hurt like crazy...'

She looked at Luca, worried that she would faint from the pain. However, Luca's expression did not change in the slightest. Her face was still pale, but she did not scream out in pain.

After she disinfected her wound, Luca was not bothered that the disinfectant had gotten her pants wet. She continued to instruct Nina, "Open the blue jar."

Nina did as she was told and handed it to her.

Without blinking, Luca poured the powder onto the wound.

The gauze binding the wound had a certain hemostatic effect, but such a simple binding would cause the wound to be infected easily. At the risk of continued bleeding, Luca also cut the gauze.

Moreover, as soon as she came back, she immediately applied medicine to the wound. It could stop the bleeding and promote wound healing.

Nina did not blink and watched her work. After seeing the powder scattered over the wound, she noticed that the bleeding was reduced.

She had long heard that Luca had a lot of powerful medicinal powders, but she did not expect them to work so well.

After applying the powder, Luca said, "Nina, do me a favor and open the small white jar. Take out the needle and thread inside. Put the thread in the needle for me."

Nina was startled and responded, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to suture the wound," Luca said. The wound was too deep. If it was not sutured, she might bleed out.

When Nina heard what Luca said, she shook her head quickly and said, "Luca, that's not easy to do. Should I take you to the hospital?"

"Trust me." Luca sounded weak because of the blood loss. She looked at Nina and knew that she was the only one who could help her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1864-Seeing that she insisted on not going to the hospital even though she was so injured, Nina gritted her teeth. She could only choose to believe that Luca could do it.

With trembling fingers, she picked up the needle and thread. She put the thread through the needle.

She asked, "Am I doing it right?"

"Yes." Luca gritted her teeth. Nina handed her the needle and thread. Luca raised her hand to take them. Then, she began to sew between the open flesh.

Fortunately, she could still see where Abel stabbed her.

Otherwise, she would not be able to suture her wound herself.

Nina looked at Luca's pale face and her hands that were holding a needle to suture her wound. Her face could not help but turn pale.

There was no anesthetic or tranquilizer, so it must be very painful. Nevertheless, Luca did not scream.

‘Is she numb toward pain, or does she just not want to wake the kids up and scare them?'

Either way, Nina admired Luca. She was impressed by her toughness.

Luca endured the pain from the stitches while thinking of an excuse to fool Nina. After all, she had to give her an explanation after what happened.

After Luca sutured the wound, she picked up the powder and sprinkled it on the wound again. She then looked at Nina and asked, "Can you bring me the gauze?"

Nina reacted, picked up the gauze, and asked, "Are you going to bandage it?"

"Yeah." Luca looked at her wound. Fortunately, after suturing it and applying the powder, there was no further bleeding.

"I'll help you." Nina stepped forward with the gauze when she saw how weak Luca was. She opened it and wrapped it around Luca's waist.

After wrapping one round, she asked, "Is it enough?"

"Another round." Luca closed her eyes as it was hard for her to breathe.

The excessive blood loss and her sore wound made her very weak.

Nina did as she said and wrapped the bandage around her once more. "Okay."

Luca opened her eyes and tried to stand up.

Nina quickly held her shoulders and said, "You're weak now. You can't stand up. What do you want to do? I'll help you." "Thank you for the trouble. Can you get me that bottle of red and white pills from the box?" Luca lay on the bed. Nina was right. She was not in the state to get up right now.

Nina found the pills she mentioned in the box. She flipped the bottle over and found that there was no manufacturer. She handed it to her and confirmed, asking, "Is this is? What kind of medicine is this?"

"Anti-inflammatory medicine." Luca took it and shook out two pills.

Seeing this, Nina said quickly, "I'll go downstairs and pour you a glass of water."

"No need." Luca finished her sentence, placed the two pills in her mouth, and swallowed them.

The medicine was made from herbs. They were very bitter, but her brows did not even furrow.

Nina was stunned. ‘She can deal with hardships much better than others...'

A woman as such seemed more suitable to stand by Luke's side compared to Bianca.

When she thought of that, Nina immediately patted her forehead.

‘No matter how good Luca is, I should not have such thoughts.'

Nina squatted down, picked up the blood-stained gauze and scarf on the floor, then looked at her black clothes. She then asked, "Luca, can you change out of your clothes? I see blood on your clothes."

"Yes, please bring me a nightdress," Luca said.

Nina opened her closet, chose a nightdress, and helped her put it on.

Luca lay on the bed panting after she changed out of her blood-stained clothes.

"Luca, these clothes and the scarf..."

"Just help me put them in the bathroom," Luca said.

Nina nodded, took her dirty clothes into the bathroom, found a laundry tub, and put them in it. novelbin

She did not clean them because she knew that these clothes would most likely be thrown away. After all, there were holes.

Nina threw the blood-stained gauze into the trash, washed her hands, and texted Percy. She told him that something had happened to Luca and she planned to stay here tonight.

Percy did not say anything. After all, Luca had helped them a lot. Apart from taking in Nina, she also hurt Pierre so badly in the hospital parking lot that he had to be hospitalized. That allowed him to choose Nina and keep the fruits of his labor over the last few years.

Therefore, Nina received his agreement. He asked her to make sure she was kept warm.

Nina's mouth curved up a little when she saw his text. She then walked out of the bathroom.

She looked at Luca, who was lying on the bed. She hesitated to ask her about what had happened.

Before Nina said anything, Luca said, "I was robbed on my way back."

"Robbed?" Nina's eyes widened. "Did the person who robbed you hurt you?"

"Yeah," Luca said. "I think they got the wrong person. They stabbed me twice and ran away without taking anything."

"How is it possible..." Nina frowned. 'Aren't robbers focused on getting money? Why would they run away after they stabbed her twice?' She thought Luca was being sought for revenge and even suspected Pierre.

"I don't know why." Luca closed her eyes, and her voice was weak. She thought it was best if she did not give too many details.

Nina wanted to ask her more questions but felt that Luca was reluctant to say more.

Everyone would have things that they did not want to share with others. Nina knew nothing as everyone was hiding the truth from her.

With a sigh, Nina said, "I'm worried it's Pierre's doing. Luca, why don't we call the police?"

"It's no use calling the police. I was walking on a small road, the lights were dark, and there were no surveillance cameras nearby. The police won't be able to find anything."

Nina was stunned. Before the police started the investigation, Luca had already concluded that the police would not be able to find anything.

She vaguely felt that Luca did not want to call the police. Maybe she knew who the other party was but she did not want to involve others.

Nina felt that Luca's identity was more and more mysterious.

In her desperation, she said, "Get some rest. I'll stay here with you tonight."

When Luca heard that, she opened her eyes and looked at Nina, feeling a little guilty.

Nina was not that easy to fool. She knew something was wrong but she did not ask anything and just decided to stay by her side...

"Nina, you don't have to accompany me. Go home. Mr. Mallory is waiting for you."

"I've already told him. Don't worry. I didn't tell him that you're injured. I can't go back tonight. You're so seriously injured and you won't go to the hospital. What if you get a fever? Are you expecting the children to take care of you?" Nina shook her head.

Luca was at a loss for words. After she took the medicine, she doubted that she would get a fever. However, since Nina insisted, she had no choice but to follow her wishes.

"Can you help me check in on the kids? They like to roll around when they're asleep sometimes."

Nina nodded and thought that she was affectionate toward the kids.

Luca was afraid of waking up the children and scaring them. Even when she lay on the bed, she was worried about whether they were rolling around in their sleep.

Her actions were incomparable to how Bianca treated them after she lost her memory.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1865-After Nina sighed in her heart, she opened the bedroom door and walked out.

She checked in on the children one by one. They were all fast asleep, not awakened by their moving about.

Nina confirmed that they had not rolled out of bed, then closed the door and shook her head.

'How could Luca have woken the children up when she was so careful all throughout?'

She returned to Luca's bedroom, closed the door, and said, "Don't worry, Lanie and the others are sound asleep. They didn't roll off the bed."

Luca opened her eyes and looked at Nina. A slight smile appeared on her face. She knew that Nina was going to stay here tonight and did not want to turn her kind gesture down. She said, "I have a new blanket in my closet. If you want to sleep here, you can share the bed with me as long as you're okay with the smell of blood on me."

"I don't mind it, but I'm not going to sleep here tonight. I'm afraid that I'll accidentally hurt you when I'm asleep. I'll sleep on the sofa. The sofa in your bedroom is the right size," Nina said. She opened Luca's closet and took out the blanket.

Luca did not say anything. She knew that Nina wanted to stay only because she was worried about her.

"Thank you, Nina," she said.

"At times like these, you don't have to be polite with me. Rest early. You look very weak. You've lost so much blood. I'm sure you're not feeling the best," Nina stepped forward and touched Luca's forehead. She was relieved to find that Luca did not have a fever.

"Mm, good night." Luca closed her eyes again. Nina was right. She had lost too much blood and was not doing well.

Nina watched her close her eyes and left a small night light on so that she could check in on her in the middle of the night.

The next day.

When Luca opened her eyes, the sun was up.

The sun rose later in winter. She glanced out the window and knew that she had woken up late.

She got up in a hurry and accidentally tugged on the wound. She could not help but frown. She was only thinking about preparing breakfast for the kids and forgot that she was injured...

Luca glanced at the bedroom. Nina was not there.

She got out of bed and lifted her nightdress in front of the full-length mirror. Looking at the gauze, she did not seem to have bled. The bleeding had probably stopped after she stitched her wound.

Luca carefully walked to the dresser, opened the drawer, took out the gauze and powder, and walked into the bathroom.

She carefully undid the gauze and glanced at the sutured wound. It was covered with scabs and looked like a centipede.

She was used to this kind of wound. She picked up a towel and soaked it in some hot water. She wrung it dry and wiped off the blood around the wound before slowly wiping the rest of her body as well.

She was used to these injuries from her days on the Island of Despair. Even though it slowed down her movements, she could handle everything herself.

After Luca wiped herself, she felt that the smell of blood on her body was fainter. She then sprinkled medicinal powder on the wound and wrapped it with gauze again.

She had to go to the office, so she deliberately wrapped an extra layer of gauze around the wound before she changed into her work clothes.

After she was done, Luca cleaned up a little and slowly walked downstairs.

At this moment, Nina was going upstairs with her breakfast. She bumped into Luca in the middle of the stairs and exclaimed, "Why did you get out of bed?"

"I'm much better now. I'll be okay," Luca said. She knew that Nina had been busy since early in the morning when she saw the breakfast that Nina prepared for her.

“Still, you shouldn't have gotten out of bed in case..." She looked back and made sure the maid was not in the living room before she whispered, "What if the wound opens?"

Luca shook her head and explained while holding onto the handrail of the stairs. "I took a look at the wound just now. It didn't open and has started to scab. Don't worry..."

Nina looked at her. Luca's face and lips were pale, but other than that, she looked like a normal person in office attire. She asked, "Your clothes... You're going to work?"

"Yeah, there's a lot of work that I need to attend to. I have no choice..." Luca said helplessly. She did not want to ask for time off. Luke would know if she did.

Although she could say she was sick, she was unwilling to do that for fear that he would investigate.

Nina sighed and said, "Wait a minute."

She went downstairs, put her breakfast on the table in the dining room, and walked up the stairs again. She reached out to support her. "Come on, I'll help you downstairs."

"I'm not that weak." Luca pursed her lips and smiled but still put her hand in Nina's.

"I know you're not weak after seeing what you did yesterday. You almost scared me to death," Nina said while recalling the wound on Luca's body. Without any anesthesia, Luca sutured her wound herself to stop the bleeding. Nina was very frightened. She did not get a good sleep last night and woke up several times to check on Luca. She was afraid that something would happen to her.

"Sorry..." Luca was a little embarrassed.

"Don't apologize. Just make sure that you'll be careful," Nina told her to be careful.

The maid came out of the kitchen, saw them, and asked, "Ms. Craw, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm not feeling well. It's fine," Luca explained to her after successfully stepping down from the last step.

"Not feeling well? Do you want me to call the family doctor?" the maid asked quickly.

Luca shook her head.

Nina helped her and said to the maid, "No, she just caught a cold and had a fever last night. Didn't I tell you all about it? Her fever subsided in the middle of the night."

The maid looked at Luca's still pale face and nodded. "I'll go upstairs to clean up the rooms now."

"Okay. By the way, you don't need to clean my bedroom," Luca said while looking at Nina.

Nina winked at her, and the two walked into the dining room together.

"Have the kids gone to school?" Luca looked at the empty dining room. There were no children in the living room either.

"Yeah, they were picked up by Zander a while ago. Don't worry, I told them you got a cold so you needed to rest. You were deeply asleep and didn't wake up even when Lanie and the others stood at the door to confirm that you were in your room," Nina said. She lied to everyone on Luca's behalf because she knew that Luca did not want others to know what had happened last night.

"Thank you, Nina," Luca said.

"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, teach me how to cook once you've recovered. The maid hadn't come then, so I decided to prepare breakfast myself. But the kids all disliked what I made. They still prefer your cooking. In the end, I had no choice but to ask them to call the maid, so the maid bought them breakfast from outside. They ate before they went to school,” Nina said while placing a plate in her In front of Luca. "Eat it. The maid made it. It's not bad.”

Luca smiled and said, "Thank you."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1866-"I feel awkward listening to you thank me. By the way, I've already talked to Mr. Doyle but didn't share any details. If you decide to go to work, let him know. You're going to be late if you leave now, so if you insist on going, I'll drive you there." Nina glanced at the time. Luca would most definitely be late for work.

Luca glanced at the time. It was late, and she had to go. "I still have to go, or work will start to pile up."

While eating breakfast, she texted Jason and told him that she would be half an hour late.

Jason replied immediately: [Okay, Dr. Craw.]

Luca put down her phone and took her breakfast in big bites.

Seeing this, Nina said to her, "Don't eat in such a hurry. Work is important, but your body is more important."

Luca nodded and continued to eat breakfast.

Nina held her chin, looked at Luca, and sighed. "I think Luke is lucky to have an employee like you."

Luca paused what she was doing but said nothing.

Nina did not continue to say anything. She just looked at Luca, who was weak but still rushed her breakfast just to get to the office earlier.

Not only was she juggling two roles in T Corporation, but she was also helping Luke take care of his family.

Although Nina felt that this was inappropriate, after what had happened last night, it was a fact that Luca treated the children well.

Over the years, she had seen quite a few women who tried to win over the three children to get close to Luke.

Their flattery was superficial, and the children did not accept it. However, Luca's kindness to the children was long-lasting. The children accepted it readily.

They do not hide their love for Luca.

After Luca had breakfast, Nina drove her to T Corporation.

Luca sat in the passenger seat, looking at the documents.

Nina glanced at her and said, "Working in the car is not good for your eyes."

"It's only for a while," Luca said. These documents should have been done last night, but due to what had happened last night, she had no choice but to work on them today.

"You work so hard. If you don't get a bigger bonus at the end of the year, I'll scold Luke for you," Nina said while laughing.

Luca listened to her words and sighed in her heart. ‘This is great...'

Since Nina and Percy got back together, Nina had become fearless. It was great that she was loved and taken care of by Percy.

Nina parked her car near the entrance of T Corporation and watched Luca unfasten her seat belt. She could not help but say to her, "If anything happens, call me immediately and don't deal with it alone."

"Okay. Please don't mention this to anyone." Luca put her hand on the door, looked at Nina, and said.

"Don't worry, my mouth is shut tight. I won't say anything to others. Although I don't know why you don't want to call the police, you must have your reasons. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what

happened last night. If you encounter any difficulties, please know that I'll always be there for you." Nina knew that Luca did not plan to tell Luke what had happened last night.

Her injury was so serious, but she insisted on keeping quiet about it. There must be a deeper reason behind it.

All she could do was keep it a secret for Luca and lend a helping hand whenever Luca was in trouble.

Nina did not know why she treated Luca as such. She just felt close to her and wanted to be kind to her.

She had felt the same way when she first got to know Bianca.

"Okay, I'll go to work now." When Luca heard that Nina was willing to keep her secret, she nodded with a smile, opened the door, and slowly got out of the car.

Nina watched her walk into T Corporation before she drove away.

T Corporation.

Alya walked in with stacks of documents and could not help but complain, "These documents are so heavy."

Tina glanced at her. There were indeed a lot of documents, so she walked over and helped her carry some. "Why didn't they bring these up? Why did you have to bring these up alone?"

"I'm not Dr. Craw, so they told me that they didn't have time and asked me to go down to carry them myself." Alya was pissed. Usually, they had to collect the documents when they received a call from the relevant departments. If they were not busy, they would search for the documents of the secretary of those departments would send the documents over.

However, she had just heard from downstairs that if it was Luca, someone would always send the documents over. Hence, Alya was raving mad.

Tina nodded and put the documents on her desk. "The situation is a little different now. Let's be understanding toward each other."

"They're busy but I'm busy too! By the way, where's Dr. Craw? I wanted to assign her some work but there's no one in her office," Alya said.

"I don't know. I haven't heard anything," Tina said. When she passed by Luca's office earlier, the door was indeed closed.

"We're so busy but she doesn't even bother to show up. Does she expect me to do everything on my own?" Alya put the documents on the table and could not help but mutter, "It's different when you have connections. "

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll go look for Dr. Craw." Tina knew that Luca was not the kind of person who depended on connections, so she could not help but say that before she walked out of the office.

Alya snorted coldly and said, "What's the big deal? Why can't I talk about her when she's in the wrong?"

Tina ignored her since Alya would be going back downstairs after the project was completed. There would not be much interaction between the two after that.

She walked out of the secretary's office and walked to Luca's office. She happened to see Luca punching in with a briefcase in her hand.

Tina could not help but said in wonder, "Dr. Craw, did you just come in?"

"Yeah, I had something to attend to, so I was late," Luca explained. When she saw that she had successfully clocked in, she walked over.

"I thought you were downstairs. After all, you're never late." Tina nodded. She noticed Luca's pale face and asked with concern, "Dr. Craw, are you feeling unwell?"

"A little. Just part and parcel of being a woman..." Luca deliberately made Tina think that she was on her period.

"You should go into the office and take a seat. You can't be too hard on yourself when you're on your period." Tina supported her hand.

Luca's face was too pale. Tina did not think that her discomfort was from being on her period.

Luca shook her head and said, "Is Ms. Alya in the secretary's office? I haven't gotten the new batch of documents to be translated yet."

"Alya just brought the documents up. I'll get them for you. Go in and sit down," Tina said and walked toward the secretary's office.

Luca was rather embarrassed. After all, Tina was also busy.

However, her wound was aching. She knew that it was because she was walking too much and her movements had tugged on the muscles. Hence, she sat on the seat.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1867-After a few minutes, Tina walked in with a few documents. "Dr. Craw, these are the documents you'll be working on today."

"Okay, thanks." Luca took them and put the documents on the table.

Tina looked at the thick folder. It looked like a lot, but compared to Alya's workload, it was not much at all.

After all, Alya did most of the translation work.

"Dr. Craw, there are more documents today, so it'll be a bigger pile than yesterday's," Tina explained.

"It's okay, I can handle it." Luca smiled, turned on the computer, and started to work.

Tina did not want to disturb her and walked out of her office.

...

On the other hand, in South Korea.

Luke checked Allison into a well-known plastic surgery hospital in Seoul.

Allison looked at the interior and frowned, dissatisfied. "You put me in a hospital like this? The environment is not very good."

Luke looked at the luxuriously decorated ward. It was still a ward, after all. It was a little different from a five-star hotel. He said indifferently, "This is a hospital, not a hotel."

"I know it's a hospital, but is this their best ward? How can they serve the rich like this?" Allison looked at her son. Since there was no one else in the ward, she took off her hat and mask, revealing her face full of wrinkles.

Luke put his hands in his pockets and looked at her impatiently. "This is the best plastic surgery hospital in the whole of South Korea. This ward is the most expensive one. One usually has to make an appointment and wait for a long time to be able to get this ward. More than ten people are waiting for this ward. If you don't want to stay here, you can go back to A City."

When Allison heard him mention A City, she backed down. She immediately said, "I didn't say anything. Why do you always threaten to send me back to A City? Do you want me to live my life with this face? What? You don't want to send me for treatment?"

Luke did not answer her.

Allison knew that this was her last chance, so she had to seize it. She picked up her phone and checked the information about this hospital on the Internet.

After three minutes, she found out that the plastic surgery hospital they were in was indeed the best in South Korea. Many celebrities chose to have plastic surgery here and received a great outcome.

The doctors' skills were good, and the services were rated five stars. Allison's dissatisfaction was eased.

She put her phone away, cleared her throat, and said, "Since you said this place is good, let's stay. But are you sure this is the best ward?"

Luke nodded, he was still cold.

Allison said, "Okay, then I'll get my treatment here. Handle the paperwork for me. Can I have a face-to- face consultation today?"

"The doctor who's taking your case is on a business trip and won't be back until the day after tomorrow, but you can check in tonight." Luke glanced at his phone. The person he hired should be handling the

procedure for Allison.

He knew that Allison was not easily fooled, so it took him a long time to get a booking.

On top of that, he got her this ward. One could imagine the extent of his preparations.

"Why are we checking in so early then?" Allison did not like hospitals. Although it was a plastic surgery hospital, it also smelled of disinfectant.

"To help you settle down first," Luke said. Just then, someone opened the door.

Allison was startled. She immediately turned around and covered her face.

She could act as if nothing had happened in front of Luke because she was used to it. However, she was still afraid of facing outsiders.

She was worried that she would be laughed at for her appearance, especially in this unfamiliar country. They were going to gossip about her in Korean and she would not be able to understand them.

"Hello, sir. Since you and the patient have seen the ward, are you satisfied with it?" The nurse came in to confirm with Luke whether or not they would be proceeding with this ward. After all, many people were waiting for this ward.

"Yes, we'll take this ward," Luke replied in fluent Korean.

Looking at his cold appearance and hearing him speak in fluent Korean with his sexy voice, the nurse's face flushed slightly. She said, "Okay, I'll check the patient in."

Luke nodded. After the nurse left, Allison turned around and complained, "These nurses are so rude."

"You're not a patient here yet." Luke reminded her that she was not in A City. Why was she still acting like she was above everyone else?

Allison pursed her lips. "Are you my son? Why don't you ever side with me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open again. A young woman walked in. "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Tanner's hospitalization procedures have been completed. She can be admitted tonight."

"Mm." Luke nodded, took the document in her hand, checked it, and found no issues. "I'll leave it to you. Thanks for taking care of her during her treatment."

"That's what I'm supposed to do," the young woman said. She was the interpreter and carer for Allison whom Luke hired.

When she heard the conversation between the two, Allison immediately asked, "Luke, what do you mean? She's going to take care of me? What about you?"

Luke raised his eyebrows. 'Did she think I would stay here to take care of her?'

"You have to undergo treatment for a long time, so I found an interpreter and nurse for you. She'll be responsible for everything that comes next," Luke said.

"What about you?" Allison continued to ask.

"I'm going home," Luke said coldly.

"No, you can't go back to A City!" Allison wanted to keep him by her side. She did not want to be left alone in a foreign country. She felt very insecure without him. novelbin

She also thought that he might just abandon her here.

"You want me to stay here with you for your treatment?" Luke frowned.

"I'm your mother. I raised you for so many years, so shouldn't you take care of me?" Allison used their relationship to guilt-trip him.

Luke was tired and knew that she would fight with him over his intention to return to A City. Hence, he said, "There's still a project in A City waiting for me to deal with. If I don't go back, the project will not be completed and T Corporation will face huge losses. I have to go back."

Allison listened to him and was at a loss for words momentarily.

What she needed more than Luke's presence was money.

If T Corporation lost the bidding because Luke had to stay with her, the shareholders of T Corporation would hold him accountable. T Corporation might be snatched by Louis in minutes.

If Louis was made the president of T Corporation, she would have no say in the Crawford family. Even if she was cured, she would not have her status anymore.

Allison could not let that happen. She gave in and said, "That's fair. Your domestic projects are more important. Okay, after you're done with the arrangements here, go back to A City.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1868-The young woman beside was secretly astonished while listening to the conversation between the mother and her son.

However, Luke was her boss now. She could not say anything about it. She only had to listen to his arrangements.

After Luke handled Allison's affair, he signed the relevant documents and left the hospital.

He refused to stay any longer in South Korea. He could not wait to go home. He missed Luca so much.

However, there was no flight back now. He had to stay for another night.

Luke returned to the hotel. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. There were no other messages other than the ones from Jason and some other senior managers who were reporting to him.

He had not received any messages from Luca or the kids.

Luke put on a helpless expression on his face. Previously, the kids would send him messages every day to tell him how much they missed him whenever he went on a business trip, but there was not even one message from them now.

It seemed like the kids had forgotten about him now that Luca was taking care of them.

Luke sent a message to Luca and asked: [What are you doing now?]

Even after a while had passed, Luca had yet to reply to his message.

Luke frowned as he opened Jason's message. He asked Jason directly without trying to conceal his intentions: [What's Dr. Craw doing now?]

It only took a few seconds for Jason to reply to Luke's message. He replied immediately: [Wait a minute, Boss. I'm going to take a look.]

Luke did not reply to him. After some time, Jason sent another message: [Boss, Dr. Craw is busy with her work in her office now. Would you like to pass her a message?]

Luke slightly narrowed his eyes. Luca was so busy that she did not notice her phone's notification? Was she doing it on purpose?

He could not figure it out, but he did not ask Jason to ask Luca. He just replied to Jason's email.

Jason was waiting for Luke's reply. He did not expect that he would receive a document email instead of a message from Luke.

Jason opened the document and glanced at it. Then, he let out a groan. Was the boss in a bad mood? He directly rejected the report that had just been completed. Jason immediately passed the document to his subordinates without a second thought and asked the department downstairs to redo it.

Luca was busy with her work. Just then, her phone rang. Only then did she come back to her senses. She glanced at her phone. It was Nina who called. She answered it and said, "Hey, Nina."

“It's already noon. Have you gone out for lunch?” Nina asked caringly.

“No. I didn't know it's already noon. I'm going now—” Luca glanced at the time. It was indeed already noon. She had been busy today and took no notice of the time.

“Hold up. You don't have to go anywhere. I've ordered takeout for you. Someone will deliver it to you later. Just sit in your office and don't go anywhere, alright?” Nina reminded her. With the state Luca was in, she should not be going to work at all. However, she insisted on doing so. Nina had no choice but to continue looking after Luca in other ways.

"Alright. Thank you." Luca knew Nina cared about her, so she sincerely thanked her.

“Don't mention it. Oh, when is Luke coming back?" Nina asked.

"I suppose he's coming back tomorrow." Luca counted the days. Luke had told her that he would be back around this time.

"If that's the case, I'll go over to your place again tonight. Wait for me when you get off work later. I'll pick you up," Nina added.

Luca hesitated and said, "Mr. Mallory isn't going to be happy about that."

"Your health is more important than anything else now. Besides, Percy is quite busy these days. He always comes home late. I told him to sleep in his office for the next two days. Everything will be fine. It's decided. You should stop overthinking. Your health matters the most now." Nina made the decision for her right away.

Luca had no choice but to say, “Okay.”

Nina hung up the call as soon as Luca agreed with her.

When Luca was about to put her phone aside, she noticed that there was an unread message. After she tapped on it, she realized that it was a message from Luke. He had sent it this morning.

He asked Luca what she was doing...

Luca's heart pounded faster all of a sudden. It seemed like Luke was just casually chatting with her, like how a husband was concerned about what his wife was doing.

Luke had been acting weird in the past two days.

Luca calmed herself down and replied to him in a very formal tone: [I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford. I was handling my work just now and missed your message. Is there anything you'd like me to do?]

Luca tapped the send button after reviewing her words and making sure that there was nothing wrong with them.

After she successfully sent the message, she put her phone aside. Jason happened to carry a bag into her office at this moment. He said, “Dr. Craw, it's your lunch.”

Luca looked at Jason with surprise and asked, “Mr. Doyle, why are you the one delivering it up here?”

"Actually, it wasn't me. Ms. Nina told me that you aren't feeling well, so she asked someone to deliver the food to the receptionist. Then, the receptionist delivered it up here. I took it from her and came here," said Jason. He put the lunchbox on Luca's desk. He noticed her pale face.

“Oh, thank you.” Luca was embarrassed. After all, everyone in the office was busy working. She should not be receiving such special treatment.

"It's nothing, Dr. Craw. Why don't you go home and take a rest if you're feeling uncomfortable? Ms. Taylor can do the translation work too." Jason was worried that Luca would be exhausted. If Luca was exhausted and felt sick, what would he do if Luke came back and blamed him for it?

"It's nothing. I'll be fine." Luca smiled and opened her lunchbox.

Jason noticed that Luca was going to have her lunch. It felt wrong to stay there and watch her eat. Thus, he smiled, turned around, and left.

Luca moved slowly to her office door and closed it. Then, she sat down in her office chair again.

Perhaps it was because the effect of the painkillers had subsided, so it was hard for her to even take another step.

She opened her lunchbox and realized that Nina had ordered some soup for her.

Luca picked up the briefcase beside her and took a packet of pills out. She had made them herself. Not only could they stop the inflammation and relieve pain, but they could also help in recovering wounds.

She shook out the pills into her palm and stuffed them in her mouth. Then, she swallowed the pills together with the soup.

Luca started to eat her lunch after taking the medicine.

The food Nina ordered for her tasted bland, and they were suitable for her, someone who was in the midst of recovering from her wound.

Her phone rang again after she took a few bites.

Luca thought it was Nina. She glanced at the phone number, only to realize that it was a call from Abel.

Her eyes darkened. She eventually tapped on the answer button.

"What's the matter?" Luca sounded irritated and disrespectful.

Abel chuckled. "It turns out that you're still alive." novelbin

"Yes, I'm still alive. I could've died if you were cruel enough to stab half an inch away from the spot you did." Luca looked down. She knew Abel had done it on purpose.

He stabbed right on the spot with the most nerves, but it was not fatal enough.

"Is that what you want? I'll grant your death wish in the future, but you can't die now." Abel made this call just to make sure that she was not dead.

After Abel let Luca leave last night, he did not send anyone to follow her. He knew Luca would be able to live through it.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1869-Abel was in charge of Luca's life. Luca pursed her lips so hard that her pale lips had turned purple. Even so, she did not say a word.

Abel sneered when Luca did not reply to him. He continued, “I've already sold the formula. Things are going to get interesting now. Luca, I'd like you to do something for me."

Luca had a bad feeling about it. Her voice sounded hoarse and weak. "What—"

Abel replied, "Make everyone think that it was Albus who sold the formula."

Luca was shocked. Let everyone think that it was Dr. Albus who sold the formula?

If everyone suspected him, then Dr. Albus would definitely get fired. The company would hold him liable for selling the formula.

Luca suddenly realized that Dr. Albus, whom she had been suspecting all this time, was not one of Abel's men.

Who had he sent here, then?

Luca felt lost. She filtered through every subordinate under Dr. Albus in her mind, only to realize that none of them could overthrow Dr. Albus' decision...

Luca could not help but feel anxious at the thought that the person Abel sent was still developing drugs in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Abel was laughing hysterically on the other end of the call. "Why are you not talking? Oh yes, you must have thought that Albus was one of my men, right?"

"It now appears that he isn't." Luca sneered. Abel was not that dumb to expose the person he had carefully placed there.

"That's right. But you don't know who it is either. So, you only have to follow my arrangements," said Abel with the sweetest joy of retribution in the bottom of his eyes.

Luca looked down. If she did not know who that person was, then she would always be in danger.

She had planned to alert Luke about it or get rid of Dr. Albus through this matter, but everything turned out to be out of her expectations.

"Oh yes, T Corporation is almost done with the project in Europe, right?" Abel asked.

"Yes. What about it?" Luca did not deny it. It was because Abel's men were also working in T Corporation. What use would it do if she denied it?

"I want you to steal the bidding document a week later. If you can't get it done, I'm not sure what the consequences you'll have to bear are," said Abel. Abel did not want to get rid of Luke so soon. He wanted to take it one step at a time and watch Luke exhaust himself. He wanted to see Luke unable to handle the matter.

It was his pleasure to watch Luke get slowly defeated.

“I don't even know where the safe that holds the bidding document is. I can't do this.” Luca rejected him.

"You know where it is, but you just don't want to steal it. If you're thinking of helping the man you love to solve the crisis this time, you'll have to be willing to let your cute little daughter suffer," Abel said in a grim manner.

"What do you mean?!" Luca panicked.

"What I mean is, your daughter is the only one who has yet to take the drug on the Island of Despair. Think about it. Isn't it a good thing to give her the injection? Her physical condition will become stronger, and her skin and facial features will also improve. Well, that doesn't sound like a bad thing after all!" Abel struck Luca's only weak point.

"I'll get the bidding document. Don't touch my daughter." Luca's fists were already clenched hard because of what he said.

The drug that Abel mentioned was not as he mentioned. It was not good at all. It was the drug that she had been injected with before.

The drug could make people grow physically stronger, but it had serious side effects. Furthermore, she had to take the antidote once a month.

Nyla hated taking medicine the most.

"Great. Then I'll be waiting for your good news." Abel hung up the call as soon as he finished talking.

Then came the busy tone from the other end of the call. After that, it became quiet again. Luca was still unable to calm herself down.

Abel left Luca with no choice. He was forcing her to choose between Luke and her daughter.

Luca put her phone aside and looked at the door worriedly. She knew Luke's habits when it came to keeping confidential documents. If Luca was lucky enough and it turned out that Luke had not changed the safe's password after all these years, she was pretty sure that she could get the bidding document.

Luke would not have the chance to prepare another bidding document in time regardless of whether he found out about it or not.

The other party would definitely hand over the bidding document first. If Luke did not find out about it and handed in the bidding document as well, T Corporation would immediately be disqualified. The corporation would even be accused of stealing the other company's confidential information.

If Luke found out about it, he would have to prepare a new bidding document within a week. It was all part of Abel's plan.

Luca looked down at her lunchbox. The food had turned cold, and she no longer had the appetite to eat.

She was destined to fail everyone around her.

If Nyla knew that Luca had to force others into a dead-end to protect her, Luca was not sure what Nyla would think about her.

Luca put the lid on the lunchbox and threw it in the trash can.

Nyla was born on the Island of Despair, and Luca was worried that the environment there would affect the child's physical and mental development. That was why Luca had been teaching Nyla to be kind- hearted and never do bad things.

However, as the child's mother, she had no choice but to do these evil things to protect her.

After Luca got off work, she received a call from Nina. Luca looked at all the work she had yet to finish. She had no choice but to tidy them up and bring them back home to work on them.

Luca was in low spirits when she headed downstairs after clocking out.

Nina, who had been waiting for Luca downstairs, saw her walking out of the entrance of T Corporation. She hurried over to meet her and opened the car door for her.

“Thank you, Nina." Luca's mind was somewhere else when she bent down and got into the car.

She did not even notice that her movement had accidentally torn her wound.

Nina noticed that something was wrong with Luca. Nina sat in the driver's seat, fastened her seat belt, and looked at Luca. Luca seemed to be preoccupied. She did not even fasten her seat belt.

"Luca, why are you spacing out? Are you too tired?" Nina asked caringly.

Luca came back to her senses, shook her head, and replied, "I was thinking about something else. Let's go."

"You haven't fastened your seat belt." Nina reminded her.

Luca lowered her head and glanced at the seat belt. She had been lost in thought ever since she received Abel's call. She became less efficient at work, doing things slowly. She even forgot such a normal thing.

Luca fastened her seat belt immediately.

Nina started the car engine and headed to the mansion. "You don't look good. Rest earlier after you have your dinner later. I'll take care of the kids for you."

Luca shook her head when she heard Nina taking the initiative to take care of the kids. She said, "You can just drop me off and I'll stay at home myself. Nina, you have your own life too."

"But I'm worried about you. Just one night. I won't come to your place again after Luke comes back tomorrow." Nina insisted.

Luca did not say anything. She just nodded.novelbin

Luca fell silent as she watched the hustle and bustle outside the window. She was speculating who exactly was the person Abel had placed in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Moreover, Abel had already sold off the formula. When would the buyer launch the product?

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1870-Mr. Bailey would certainly apply for the patent before Dr. Albus applied for it and launch the product after that.

They only had to make up a list for the clinical trial, then they would be able to apply for the patent.

Luca suspected that they would choose to launch the product around the time when T Corporation was bidding for the project. Besides, now that Luca had stolen the document, this series of events would deal blow after blow to Luke.

Luca held her forehead. T Corporation would face a great crisis if this really happened.

It would still be alright if T Corporation's reputation was still well protected. What she feared the most was that Abel would think of a way to ruin the corporation's reputation. This way, Luke would have to face such a crisis and a huge burden at the same time.

Luca recalled a few years ago when the property built by T Corporation was deliberately bombed by someone, causing the building to collapse.

Luke had put in a lot of effort to get to the bottom of the case and made sure those people got what they deserved.

However, it was different this time.

Luca remained silent all the way. Nina thought it would be better not to force her to speak. After they reached the villa's entrance, Nina reminded her, “Luca, we're here."

Luca nodded. She was about to unfasten her seat belt. Nina grabbed her hand and said, "You can scan the access card in the car. I'm driving in."

Luca suddenly realized that after Nina reminded her. She took the access card out and waved it before the long-range reader.

Nina could not help but voice out when she saw Luca behaving like this, "Is it because you're too weak right now that it's causing you to be so tired? You seem out of it."

"I guess so," Luca replied in a low voice.

"The kids are going to be worried again if they see you like this." Nina remembered that when she woke up this morning, the kids came to surround her and asked about Luca.

Even though Nina had told them that Luca was fine and she was just having a cold, the kids refused to believe her. They insisted on seeing Luca themselves before they believed her.

Nina was afraid that their noses were sensitive enough to smell the blood on Luca's body. Hence, she found an excuse and told the kids that they would be disturbing Luca if they went upstairs to see her. She only allowed them to see her while they stood at the door. She immediately brought them back

downstairs after they got a glimpse inside.

"It's alright. I'll stop thinking about work when I see them." As Luca watched Nina slow down the car in front of the villa's gate, she pressed the button on the gate remote.

The gate opened and Nina drove in.

The kids hurried out of the house once they heard the noise of a car coming from outside.

Luca was still in bed when the kids left for school. When they came back home, the maid told them that Luca had already gone to work despite being sick.

Hence, the three of them were worried sick about Luca.

Luca pushed the car door open. Lanie, Rainie, and Tommy were already standing outside the car door staring straight at her.

“Ms. Luca, you're back!” Rainie spoke first. She was observant enough to notice Luca's pale face.

Luca was slightly surprised to see the kids waiting for her here. She looked at them and immediately urged them, saying, "It's cold out here. Hurry up and get into the house."

"Ms. Luca, we're worried about you." Tommy expressed his worries directly to Luca while helping her to carry her briefcase.

Luca felt a little sorry when she saw the kids show so much consideration for her. They were worried about her health. Luca shook her head and held Rainie's hand. Rainie's hand was cold as she had been outside for a while. Luca said, "I'm alright. Let's hurry up and go inside. You can't possibly keep yourselves warm by just wearing this. You're going to catch a cold."

Nina pushed the car door open and got out of the car too. She saw how intimate they were as though they were a family. She could not help but tease them, "You're only worried about Ms. Luca. Why aren't you showing some love to Ms. Nina?"

Tommy walked toward Nina with a smile on his face. He held Nina's hand and said, "Godmother, are you going to be here tonight?"

"Of course. I'll have to take care of all of you." Nina held Tommy's hand back and frowned. "You're freezing. Come on, let's go in."

Luca and Nina brought the three of them back into the house. The maid had already prepared warm tea for them. She greeted them, "Ms. Luca, Ms. Nina, you're back. It's cold out there. I've made some tea for you. Please have some."

"Thank you." Luca had been walking for a while. She did not want the kids to notice that she was walking unusually. That was why she had been walking while keeping her back straight, completely disregarding her wound. Her wound was slightly hurting now. She hurried to the couch and sat down on it.

Nina had been keeping an eye on Luca's movements. There was nothing unusual about them. Even so, she still said to the maid, "Luca is not feeling well today. I'm not good at cooking either, so I guess you'll have to prepare tonight's dinner."

The maid smiled gently. Luca would prepare dinner every day, but she knew Luca was feeling uncomfortable today. Hence, she had already prepared dinner in advance. "I've already started making dinner. Dinner will be ready in half an hour."

Nina nodded. She picked up the teapot and poured tea for Luca and the three kids. "It's freezing out there. I think the first snowfall of the year is just around the corner. Drink some tea to warm yourselves up."

Luca picked up the teacup and took a whiff of the tea in the cup. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the tea, Luca slowly took a sip of it.

Given the circumstances now, Luca had no choice but to stay alert. There would be even more problems for her to handle if the maid was someone sent by Abel to plot against her.

Nina noticed Luca's subtle gestures, but she remained silent. She just said to the kids, “Geez, make sure you put on more clothes when you leave the house. Weren't you cold when you were outside dressed like this?"

"We didn't feel cold anymore when we saw Ms. Luca," replied Tommy with a smile. It was warm enough in the house. Besides, after they came back, the kids put on heavy winter clothes. That was why when

Luca came back, they did not bother to put on more clothes and just ran straight out to make sure Luca was alright.

The kids were very sensitive after having lost her once before.

"I'll get jealous if you say that. When you were little, I used to carry you with a baby bottle in my hands. Don't you feel warm when you see me?" Nina pinched Tommy's chubby face.

Tommy leaned closer to Nina immediately, hugged her, and said, "I feel warm as well when I see Godmother, but we were just worried about Ms. Luca—"

"Alright, Ms. Luca is fine. I've already brought her to see the doctor. The doctor said she'll be alright after resting for a few days." Nina moved the child away from her and took off her winter clothes.

Lanie turned to look at Luca with his round pupils and asked, "Ms. Luca, is that true?"

"Don't worry. I'll be fully recovered tomorrow." Luca assured him. The wound would usually heal on the second day as long as Luca took the medicine. The medicine's effects sped up the recovery process, so it would not take her seven days unlike regular people.

"I'm glad to hear that," said Rainie, who was sitting beside her.

Luca took a few sips of tea. She glanced at the kids and felt warmer.

The three of them who were busy talking and laughing not long ago were now sitting there and doing their homework.

Luca glanced at Nina, who was taking her phone out. Luca picked up her briefcase at the thought of this.

Nina put down her phone and asked, "You're so weak, yet you still brought your work back home?"
