Ch. 1891..1900
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1891-Before Luke could speak, Jim could not help but tease once more, "He's ready to give up on life for Bianca."
Percy nodded in agreement.
He would not have ended up suffering so much if he had been obedient back when Luke was on the Island of Despair.
However, to get away from that place and return to Bianca, he was not bothered about his life and escaped immediately. He even blasted the entire island just to get rid any trouble that may reappear.
The man, who was harsh to himself and other people, was treating Bianca with extra care. Currently, he even stayed in the bar all just so Bianca would not leave, and even dragged them along to accompany him in drinking liquor.
The man before them had lost the rationale he used to have. All of his unusual behavior was all because of Luca.
Jim looked at Luke, who was still binge drinking liquor and not saying a word. Then, he looked at Percy, who was still leaving him in suspense and urged, "If you got any options, please say it out fast. My wife and kids are still waiting for me at home."
Percy had one of his legs crossed over the other and looked at him. He wanted to think of a way to solve Luke's problem and hurry back home to be with his wife.
'Who doesn't have a pretty wife waiting for them at home?'
When Percy thought of Nina still waiting for his arrival back at home, he immediately said, "Even though up to this point, Luca is still not willing to reveal her identity. In the meantime, she's keeping her distance from you, and you still have feelings for her. So, why not seize this opportunity and be a little
harsh on yourself, make Luca admit that she still cared for you. Wouldn't that solve the crisis between you two?"
Luke lifted his glass of liquor and did not continue drinking it but squinted his eyes. Despite being drunk, he still gave Percy's comment a thought.
"Then what should he do? Torture himself? That's not his way of doing things," said Jim while shaking his head. The way of causing havoc and even committing suicide was not Luke's way of doing things.
"Of course not. Torturing oneself is the lowliest method. It won't be effective against a sharp lady like Luca. However, we can create an accident. Say, for example, breaking a leg after being drunk..." Percy gave an example.
Suddenly, Luke had a dark expression." What are you trying to say?"
'Getting my leg fractured after being drunk? If words about it were to spread out, I'll be losing my dignity.'
Percy cleared his throat. "I'm just giving an example. If you got injured because of this and got admitted to a hospital, not only will Luca take care of you and the kids but in the meantime, we can be clear about whether she cares for you. Isn't this killing two birds with a stone?"
"Then breaking one leg isn't enough. I'd say we should make it more serious and that will make Luca take it seriously," Jim added. "Say for example a road traffic accident. Thinking about the effects of it, for sure it's going to do well."
"You're right. Besides, admitting to a hospital will not delay your work progress. Anyway, it's not your first time working while being admitted to the hospital," said Percy while nodding his head, agreeing to Jim's idea. "Traffic accident is a good idea. Just get yourself knocked over and have Johann step in to make things sound more serious."
Listening to their lousy idea made Luke pick up his glass of liquor and gulp it all in one go before getting up.
Percy looked at him. "Where are you going? Don't tell me you taking it for real? We're just joking."
"I'm not drunk," Luke said. He left the room without turning around. Initially, his idea of inviting them out was to have them give some useful ideas and not some useless stuff.
Indeed, the ideas that they mentioned would make Luca stay back but it was very childish. An adult should not do such a thing.
Luke paid the bill for that room and left the bar.
Looking at the traffic light made him think of Luca. If he could not come out with an idea, Luca would really leave him.
After waiting for three years, he finally waited for her return. He would not allow her to back off and even leave him.
The thought of it left him frustrated. He wanted to return to his car to rest for a moment, yet there were a few young reckless drivers who came charging down the street toward him.
Those motorcycles that were headed his way were deafeningly noisy. The few young lads steering the vehicles were drunk. Luke glanced at them, but the effect of the liquor made him unable to react in time. He collided with one of the motorcyclists.
At that moment, it was chaotic.
Luke fell to the ground and stared at the traffic light. He felt dizzy and slowly lost consciousness.
The waiters at the entrance quickly went forth when they saw Luke being knocked down. They held down the few of them, who had caused trouble and wanted to leave the scene.
"Mr. Crawford. Hey, Mr. Crawford." One of the waiters got down on his knees to examine his condition. Luke was still not responding.
"Hurry and dial 120. Also, Mr. Mallory and his friend are still in the room. Go and tell them about it," roared the waiter when he noticed Luke had lost consciousness.
Percy and Jim were sitting in the room and drank their last glass of liquor.
Percy said when he saw the waiter pushing the door open and coming into the room, "You came just at the timing, bill please."
The waiter was anxious. "This is bad, Mr. Mallory. Mr. Crawford got knocked down by a drunken reckless motorcyclist as soon as he left the bar. Now, he's unconscious at the roadside."
Percy opened his mouth in astonishment and exchanged looks with Jim. 'Whatever I said had turned into reality?
'I just suggested that Luke torture himself by getting into an accident to make Luca worried about him, and he actually went through with it?
'If it was not for him knowing that Luke was not such a person, he would be suspicious whether or not he did it intentionally.'
"Has the ambulance arrived?" Percy got up and headed out anxiously.
"We've already called the ambulance. It will soon arrive. The main thing is that until now, Mr. Crawford is still unconscious. I witnessed that his head knocked on the ground..." the waiter was worried. Despite
not them knocking him down, it still occurred at the entrance of their bar.
Besides, any ordinary people would have dodged it. It was because Luke was drunk and unable to react to it. Hence, he was slow and was not able to dodge it.
If anything were to happen to Luke, and the Mallory family came hunting for an explanation, for sure the bar would be closed down.
"It's just a motorcycle. Is it that serious? Did the motorcycle hit him at a high speed?" Percy asked and headed out anxiously.
"The velocity was quite fast but was completely avoidable. Maybe Mr. Crawford was drunk and wasn't lucid enough to dodge. My colleague has already lodged a police report and caught hold of the few youngsters. The few youngsters were drunk as well." the waiter replied.
Percy walked out of the bar and saw there a few people surrounding a corner. He went up and saw Luke lying on the ground, not moving an inch as if he was dead.
No one dared to move Luke as they were unsure of his current situation, worried they might cause further damage to him.
He spun around to look and saw a few waiters pinning onto the few youngsters who were looking down. He took off his coat and placed it over Luke's body and walked to the side of the youngsters. "So these are the ones who knocked him down?"
"Yes, Mr. Mallory," one of the waiters said.
Percy frowned. "Excellent. How dare you speed on road after being drunk. You guys even sped on road in groups. Later when the cops arrive, have them all arrested."
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1892-"Yes, sir." The bar manager heard it and quickly rushed to the scene. He quickly agreed to it after knowing that Percy had no intention of putting the blame on them.
He prayed so hard for Percy to push all the blame onto the youngsters, who did not know their standings in society.
Percy looked at Luke, who was lying on the ground and exchanged looks with Jim.
'This time, he really got into an accident. It's just that this time, he was knocked down by others...'
"Later I'll follow the ambulance to escort him to the hospital. You head back home first," Percy said to Jim. Currently, Jim's wife was pregnant with her third child, and it would not be appropriate for him to go back home late.
Percy would just explain to Nina.
"Alright, just give me a call if there's anything," Jim said.
After some time, the ambulance arrived at the scene. With the help of a few health care workers, Luke was placed on the stretcher and Percy boarded the ambulance, heading toward the hospital.
In the ambulance, the doctors put on a drip for Luke and asked for some history.
After answering, Percy got to know that Luke would be sent to the hospital where Johann was and quickly gave the latter a call.
After the call was connected, he was still looking at the man, who was unconscious. He was unsure whether Luke was unconscious due to him being knocked down or was it because he was drunk. Anyway, he was still unconscious.
"Even if he was out from his drunken state, will he still be passing out cold?" Percy asked.
The doctor did a simple checkup. "His pupils are reacting normally. It could be due to both of the factors you mentioned."
Percy touched his chin. He did not expect there would be a day when his words would turn into reality.
After the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Johann made some arrangements in the hospital and after running a simple examination on Luke, he immediately arranged for all sorts of investigations.
Percy sat on the chair in the emergency department. He took out his handphone and called Luca. After all, currently, Luke really wanted Luca to acknowledge their relationship.
This time, Luke was knocked down and it was a chance.
In the middle of the night, the instant when the handphone rang, Luca immediately opened her eyes.
Three years of training made her develop self-conscious. Even if she was deeply asleep, she would still be able to wake up immediately whenever there was a noise in the surrounding.
When the second sound of the handphone rang, she had already noticed that the sound that woke her up was originating from her handphone.
She picked up her handphone and looked at the incoming call.
'Percy...
'It is already so late. Could it be because of Luke that he is now calling me?'
Luca held onto her handphone and silently decided. No matter what Percy said, she would not be softhearted. She couldn't give in to Luke now.
Despite Abel asking her to get closer to Luke numerous times, she was not willing to hurt her man.
She clicked on the answer button. "Hi, Mr. Mallory."
Percy waited for a moment. He thought she was not going to pick up the call. The moment she answered, he let out a breath of relief. "Dr. Craw, please head over to the hospital right now."
"Hospital?" Luca's heart skipped a beat when she heard of the location. "Did something happen?"
"Luke got into an accident," Percy intentionally spoke with an anxious tone so Luca would be nervous.
"Accident? Is it bad?" Luca clenched onto her blanket and was starting to get worried while unable to remain calm.
"I can't justify whether or not it's serious but he's unconscious before he was here." Percy noticed the change in her tone.
He could sense that Luca was still concerned for Luke. Or else, she would not be concerned about his situation.
"What causes it?" Luca quickly got out of bed, but when she thought of the kids being left alone at home if she left the house for the hospital, she sat on the bed once again.
She could not bring the kids over to the hospital as it would scare them.
"I'm not too sure about the details but can you make a trip here? Also, bring some documents belonging to Luke. Or else, it's going to be a hassle to proceed with the admission," Percy asked. He got to seize the opportunity. Even though Johann said it might not be a serious issue, all he could do was make Luca nervous.
"I can go over but can you please take care of things over there for the time being? I need to have the nanny come over here before I leave the house. Leaving the kids here is too dangerous," Luca discussed with Percy.
"No problem. But please be here soon. Because urgent things might just suddenly happen." Percy agreed.
After Luca ended the call, she called the nanny and briefly told her the condition and had her come over to look after the kids.
After the nanny agreed, Luca changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
She looked at Luke's bedroom and thought to herself. 'I should go in. This time, he's going to be admitted. For sure he needs to be registered in the hospital. I guess all his important documents are inside there.'
Luca opened the lights and then closed the bedroom door. According to her understanding of Luke, she found his medical card in the bottom drawer of his study table.
After placing it in her pocket, Luca looked at the safety box in a corner...
Luke had two safety boxes in which he kept his import documents. One was in the office in the company and the other one was in the study room at home.
Currently, he had no study room in this villa. Hence, this safety box was used to keep his documents.
The thought of it made her come over to the safety box. She looked at the password column and thought deeply about it.
Even if three years had passed, she still know Luke well and was confident to unlock the password.
As long as she unlocked the password, she would be able to know everything that Abel wanted.
Luca looked at the safety box and after some time, she still did not make a move.
Once the door of the safety box was opened, it would mean Luke would have to face a huge crisis. The thought of the possibility of events that might happen made her unwilling to do so.
'Forget it. I'll drag on as much as I can.'
Luca made a decision. Luke had met with an accident, and she was unsure of his situation.
She was worried and the thought of Percy's negative tone made her feel that Luke's condition might be very serious.
'Why did he get himself into an accident? Was it because of me?'
Luca walked out of Luke's room and came downstairs to wait for the nanny. Time passed and she got more worried and wished that she could show up at the hospital instantly to get to know the condition of her man.
After half an hour, the nanny showed up. "Ms. Luca. I'm sorry, it's hard to get a cab late at night."
Luca shook her head and said, "I should be apologizing to you, for making you come over at this late hour. I'll leave the kids to you. I'll go over to the hospital now to know what's going on."
"Alright, no problem," the nanny agreed immediately.
Luca took the little car key given to her by Luke at the entrance of the villa. She put on an apron and when she was about to leave, she turned around and ordered the nanny, "The kids had no idea what was happening. If they ask, just say I got some stuff to attend to and headed back to the office. Don't mention a word about Mr. Crawford's condition.”
"Got it. I know what to do, Ms. Luca. Please drive safe," the nanny reminded.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1893-Luca nodded and rushed to leave.
She sat in the car and cautiously drove out of the villa.
At that moment, it was already past midnight. The thought of Luke might be facing all sorts of situations in the hospital made her drive faster as there were not many cars on the road as well.
She rushed to the hospital and rushed to park the car and headed to the main building of the hospital.
Because she had previously enquired that Luke was currently at the emergency department, she then rushed her way over there.
Percy saw her rushing there and was unable to conceal the anxious look on her face that made him think about it. 'Maybe Luke got lucky out of this accident.'
The instant Luca saw Percy, she rushed to him. "Mr. Mallory, where's Mr. Crawford?"
"He just underwent all the investigations. Now the doctors are in there discussing the management," Percy said.
"Then did the doctors say anything?" Luca asked cautiously. Her heart was racing, afraid she might be hearing bad news.
Percy shook his head. "The doctor didn't say anything and simply had a serious look on their faces. But rest assured, all doctors are like that. Besides, I got Johann over to tend to him. It will be fine."
Luca was relieved when she got to know that Johann was involved. She felt relieved knowing he was helping with Luke.
"Mr. Mallory, isn't Mr. Crawford working overtime? How did he get himself involved in a road traffic accident...?" she blurted. She wondered whether it was her overthinking as the moment she met up with Percy, she smelled a strong stench of liquor.
However, after sniffing it properly, it smelled like antiseptic.
"Well, there will be times when a man will meet with the unfortunate. You got it, do you?" Percy said.
Luca shook her head. "Can you make it clearer? Are you saying that Luke met with an accident after work?"
"No. Something is bugging him, and he could not think through it. Hence, he dragged me along with Jim to have alcohol. After drinking, when he was about to leave, he was then knocked down by a few drunk youngsters," Percy had no choice but to say the truth. Anyway, it was not a bad thing to let her know of Luke's true emotions.
"He's knocked down?" Luca widened her eyes, astonished. 'He was drunk and drove, yet being knocked down?'
Percy knew what she was suspecting and waved his hand helplessly. "Yes. He's knocked down when he's walking on the sidewalk. Those drunken youngsters thought that driving their motorcycles on the sidewalk would not be an issue. They didn't expect their speed to be so fast and Luke didn't manage to avoid them. The youngsters couldn't brake in time so..."
"I got it." Luca kept quiet. 'Will it be that serious after being knocked down by a motorcycle?
'Things might not be serious if the collision wasn't too severe but it's hard to say for sure; things will be unpredictable.'
"Have a seat first. The doctors will be out soon," said Percy and got up. "I'll go buy a bottle of water. Do you want?"
"No thanks." Luca thought of asking more in detail, so she could get to know about Luke's condition soon. However, it seemed that Percy had said everything that he knew.
It would be better if she just sat on the long bench and wait.
After some time, Johann opened the curtain and came out. "Dr. Craw, why are you alone here? Where's Percy?"
Luca immediately got up and looked at him. "He went to buy a bottle of water. Dr. Park, how's Mr. Crawford?"
Johann nodded and was holding onto the report. "Well, you do know medical as well. Then I'll not beat around the bush. I wouldn't say he's not in a critical state as of now, but I can't say it's not completely serious. He will still need treatment. So, we can't say with certainty that he's entirely alright. Right now, the thing that I'm most worried about is his brain."
"What's wrong with his brain?" Luca asked.
Johann pointed at the back of his head and explained, "When he got knocked down, there wasn't any protection. He fell and immediately lose consciousness. Hence, the CT report did show there is minimal bleeding. However, his bleeding is not too big of an issue. We need to continue monitoring it. If the area of bleeding didn't expand, later, the clot will be reabsorbed on its own. Of course, if he's unlucky, and the bleeding continues to expand, we have no choice but to do an operation to stop the bleeding."
"Alright." Luca's mind went blank when she heard Luke injured his head. She did not know what to do next but just gave Johann a reply, stunned.
Seeing her in such a state made Johann recall whether he had said too much.
However, Percy had previously ordered him to mention it toward the critical side when he saw Luca. He dared not do so. It was a fact that Luke was injured but it was not too serious. After giving it a thought, he could only come out with such an explanation.
Johann cleared his throat and continued, "Don't worry too much. Just think toward the positive side. Everything is going to be fine."
"I got it. Are there any other issues?” Luca lifted her head to look at him and the worried look in her eyes was impossible to conceal.
She was worried about Luke. Currently, she could only pray for him to be safe and for nothing to happen.
"Also, he might have a cerebral concussion. It should be fine if we take good care of his head for the next two days. Also, for his right leg, there are signs of it being fractured. I've briefly heard about the accident. Maybe he was squashed by the motorbike, causing his bone to be fractured and it's not a simple fracture. As a doctor, I still recommend putting a cast over his right leg," Johann said.
"Alright." Luca listened to what Johann had to say and frowned deeper. The things that he said could be healed but it would have to trouble Luke. Once the cement was applied, it would take at least one month before it could be removed.
For the time being, Luke's mobility would be restricted.
He still had tons of stuff to attend to in the company. 'If I'm leaving, who is going to look after him?'
Johann noticed her frowning and deep in thought. He then added, "We don't need to arrange for him to undergo any operation. You brought his identity card, right? Just give it to me and I'll have someone
settle it. Then, I'll help to arrange for the cement application."
Luca took out Luke's identity card from her pocket.
Johann received the identity card and held it in his hand. “Then, I shall proceed to apply the cement cast for him. You may have a seat here first. Once the cement cast is done, he will be transferred up to the ward. Right now, he is still unconscious. Tonight, it's best if there is someone to keep him company.”
"I'll be the one," Luca said as she was not assured to get other nurses to take care of Luke.
"Alright." Johann looked at Luca's look that was deep in thought and smirked. 'It seemed this time, Luke's wish is going to come true. This time, it will be after one month later if Luca wants to leave him.'
He returned to the emergency department.
Luca sat on the long bench.
At that moment, Percy was done purchasing water and came over. He gave one of the bottles of water to Luca. "Dr. Craw, have some water."
"Thanks." Luca took it over and explained to Percy, "Earlier, Dr. Park came out and told me the result."
"How's Luke?" Even though Percy had already known Luke's condition, he still put up an act, pretending not to know and asked.
Luca blurted everything that Johann said, feeling depressed.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1894-Percy heard Luca saying it as if she was reading a report, repeating Johann's speech in detail, and it made him laugh.
He opened the bottle of water to hide away the urge to laugh and took two mouthfuls of water. Then, he comforted Luca, "This time, Luke has met with an accident. Dr. Craw, it seems that I'll have to trouble you."
Luca looked at him and was feeling much suspicious.
She did not express her intention to stay back to look after Luke, but he had assumed that she would for sure stay back.
Seeing that she was not talking made Percy ask intentionally, "What's wrong? Any problem?"
"No..." Luca said slowly.
"After all Jason is busy with issues in the T Corporation. If you can't stay back to look after him, I guess that leaves me no choice but to notify the people In the Crawford Manor." Percy took another sip of water. "But to make it clear, only old master Crawford is the only one in the entire Crawford Manor who cares about Luke. But he's already so old. I heard that he had lots of diseases and it was all due to the cold weather. That's why I thought of you and called to notify you."
Luca nodded. Naturally, she would not bother old master Crawford regarding Luke's issue, and she could not scare the kids.
She thought about it and thought she was the most appropriate person.
Even though her appearance and status had changed, she was still once Luke's wife.
Percy no longer said anything when he realized he had persuaded Luca to stay back. He put on an act and sat on the long bench, waiting for Luke to come out.
Before Johann spoke to Luca, he had discussed it with Percy beforehand.
It was a fact regarding the fracture of the right leg. They would need the application of a cement cast for the recovery but the theory of having a blood clot in his head was incorrect.
At most, Luke would just pass out cold for two days due to the concussion and would not need to undergo any operation.
They did so all just so Luca would stay by Luke's side.
Seeing Luca's current state made him know that the plan was a success.
From then on, Luke would be able to obtain the heart of Luca and he got to be thankful to Johann.
After half an hour, the cement case was just applied to Luke's right leg, and he was lying on the hospital bed, pushed out by the doctor and nurses.
Luca immediately stood up and walked upfront. Luke was still unconscious, put on ventilation, and had no feeling that his leg was being put on a cement cast.
Percy looked at Luke, who was still unconscious, and frowned while asking Johann, "Why hasn't he woken up?"
"It's better off that way than to wake up. If he wakes up, I guess he will be nauseated and feel dizzy. So, it's better if he's still passed out cold " Johann was sure that Luke was fine even if he was not awake yet. "Right now, he needs rest. If I'm wrong about it, he had not been resting well for a few days. Adding to that alcohol has the effect of protecting our bodies. Hence, being passed out cold, for the
time being, is not a major issue. In his current state, it will make the person looking after him feel much easier."
"True." Percy looked at Luca. “Don't worry too much, Dr. Craw."
Luca was being pointed out and her gaze shifted away from Luke while nodding.
Johanna tapped on the head of the bed and ordered, "Alright, now push our patient to the VIP ward in the hospital."
The nurses and the doctor on duty pushed Luke toward the elevator.
Johann did not say a word and Luca took the initiative to follow behind the doctor and nurses.
The doctor and nurses were fast. In five minutes, they had pushed Luke to the VIP ward. In the meantime, they had shifted Luke to another bed and put him on a drip.
The nurses brought the basic necessities. Knowing that Luca was going to look after Luke, the nurse taught her the methods of using those necessities and left the ward.
Percy said after seeing that everything was already well arranged, *I'll leave him in your hands, Dr. Craw.
I still got to head back. Lately, Nina isn't in good shape, and I'm not relieved to leave her at home all alone."
"Alright, sorry to trouble you, Mr. Mallory." Luca nodded and after seeing Percy off, she closed the ward door.
At that moment, only she and Luke were the only ones in the ward.
Luca glanced at the drip that was adjusted to drip slowly by the nurse, and then looked at Luke, who was lying on the bed quietly.
The thought of Johann's words made her unable to remain calm. She walked up front and softly called out, "Mr. Crawford?"
Luke still did not react.
Looking at his hand, which was left outside of the blanket because of the drip inserted made her pull the blanket slightly upward. Her fingers placed on Luke's pulse.
Luca silently took Luke's pulse and felt that the latter was having an abnormal pulse. However, recalling he had drunk so much liquor made her assume that was the cause.
She retrieved her hand and after helping him cover with the blanket, she thought for a moment and gently opened his eyelids.
Even though she was not a neurologist, she still knew the basics. She saw Luke having normal pupils, then only she let out a breath of relief and sat on the chair beside it.
The nurse had reminded her that tonight, Luke still had and would need to finish both bottles. Or else, his blood flow would take a reversal flow and that would lead to serious complications.
However, given Luke's current state, Luca was unable to sleep well.
Luca looked at the drip that was dripping slowly. Since she had no document that needed to be settled, she took out her handphone to pass time.
After two hours, only Luke's drip was over
Luca looked at it and it was already four in the morning, and Luke still had no signs of waking up.
Earlier, Johann came to check on Luke and commented that perhaps Luke was deep asleep after passing out cold. It was only natural he did not wake up, so Johann reassured her not to worry too much about it.
Because he did a simple examination and Luke's body condition was normal.
Luca sat on the sofa and yawned. 'Perhaps Luke's issue would invite huge chaos in T Corporation. After all, he's injured.
'And he still has to take charge of T Corporation.'
Luca thought of it and felt her eyelids rather heavy. After looking after Luke for an entire night, she was fatigued.
'I will just close my eyes for a moment...'
Not knowing how long she had closed her eyes; she heard a noise and immediately opened her eyes. Subconsciously, she looked at the hospital bed.
Perhaps due to the distance, she could not see Luke's face but could hear him muttering. She immediately got up and walked to the side of his bed. "Are you feeling alright, Mr. Crawford?"
Luke was a little lost. It was obvious that he was not sure what condition he was currently in.
"Where is this?" His throat which was burnt by the alcohol made his voice hoarse.
"This is the hospital. You've been knocked down by a motorcycle," Luca explained.
When Luke heard the word motorcycle, she recalled the entire incident. He was drunk and was unable to dodge the motorcycle which had no intention of braking. Then, he lost his memories.
Luca clicked on the help button when she saw him having a dark expression.
"What's the time now?" Luke looked at him and was thinking perhaps it was Percy's idea that she ended up showing up in the scene.
"Now is already six in the morning." Luca looked at her handphone and replied. Because it was winter, the sky outside had yet to be brightened up.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1895-Given the weather, it was hard to make out that it was currently already in the morning, but Luke had indeed passed out the entire night.
Her faint hoarse voice traveled into his ears, and it made Luke go pale.
Throughout the entire night, he lost his senses, and the mastermind behind all of these was because of a motorcycle.
Luke wanted to sit up. Luca saw it and quickly reminded, "Mr. Crawford, it's best if you don't sit up right now."
Luke slowly lifted his head and the feeling of dizziness made him lie back on his pillow. "What's wrong?"
"Dr. Park said that you have a slight concussion. It's best if you lie down and get some rest." Luca saw him frowning and without him saying anything, she knew he was dizzy.
She had experienced having a concussion and that feeling was unpleasant.
"Was it because of the accident as well?" Luke has an awful expression. Because of an accident, he ended up in such a state and it made him feel embarrassing.
'Besides, those road bikers...'
He slowly regained his awareness and the scene from last night was still vivid in his memory. He remembered the scene where those daring youngsters came driving toward him.
"Yes. At that moment, you had the back of your head knocked on the ground," Luca said while noticing his dark expression, guessing that he was feeling embarrassed for being admitted to the hospital for such a thing.
Luke took in a deep breath and asked, "Then how about my leg?"
When he wanted to get up, he noticed it took him great effort to lift his right leg, as if it was being suppressed by something.
"A cement cast was applied over your right leg because the motorcycle went over your leg, causing it to be fractured," Luca blurted the truth.
"Damn it!" Luke did not expect a motorcycle would make him unable to move carefreely.
"Mr. Crawford, don't get so worked up. Everything is going to be fine," Luca quickly advised.
Luke had a dark expression. Even though Luca was now by his side, taking care of him, he was still having a foul mood.
Because a motorcycle, it made him so inconvenient in many aspects.
"What Dr. Craw said was right. Everything is going to be fine. If you're being so agitated, it's not going to do you any good with the bleeding going on in your head." Johann pushed the door opened and overheard the conversation between Luca and Luke and added.
"There's a bleeding going on in my head too?" Luke was shocked. Never once had he thought of his body being this fragile.
'I got defeated by a motorcycle...'
"Well, I'm not in time to tell you that," said Luca helplessly.
"After resting for an entire night, how do you feel now? Anywhere not well?" The nurse whom Johann brought along went forth and examined Luke.
Luke saw his gesture of holding onto a little torch and shining into his eyes, which made him tilt his head away disdainfully. "No."
"No? How is that possible? Aren't you feeling dizzy?" Johann asked again and kept his torch. He picked up the medical book at the end of his bed.
"Well, he did have a little dizziness earlier but it's not too serious," said Luca.
Johann nodded and after writing in the medical book, he ordered the nurse beside him, "Send Mr. Crawford to the treatment room and arrange a CT brain scan."
"Alright, Dr. Park." The nurse walked out and arranged for Luke.
"I still need to be examined?" Luke was against those investigations. Initially, he was able to protect Luca but now, it seemed that he could only lie on the bed and have Luca take care of him. In the meantime, it allowed Luca to witness his fragile side.
"Of course, this is all for the sake of your safety and health," Johann explained.
After he was done checking, he stood in the ward, having no intention of leaving.
"Why are you still standing here?" Luke looked at Johann, irritated.
"Of course, waiting to send you to the treatment room. As your attending doctor and friend, it's only logical for me to be responsible for your health."
Luke knew whatever he said would be argued after listening to his grand explanation. Johann just wanted to watch what was going on.
Seeing that Luke did not say anything, Johann then added, "Dr. Craw, later on, you need not accompany us. Right now, he's looking not too bad. If possible, you can go prepare breakfast. After
drinking liquor, for sure his tummy is upset."
"Alright." Luca was worried about Luke but with Johann around, there would be no reason to be worried.
The two nurses pushed Luke's bed and left.
When leaving the ward, he kept looking at Luca and was deep in thought. 'If it's not for me meeting with an accident, for sure she would not stay here as well.
'Even though it's embarrassing to get knocked down by a motorcycle, I still feel happy because I'm able to receive Luca's meticulous care.'
The CT room had long ago informed them and was waiting for Luke's arrival.
When he reached the entrance, he was then pushed in but was never shifted to another bed.
Luke kept lying on the bed because of his dizziness. He squinted his eyes to look at Johann. "Aren't you supposed to run the investigation on me?"
"No need." Johann shook his head. "Right now, your condition doesn't warrant a CT."
"Then why did you bring me here for?" Luke looked at the healthcare workers around him and they did not intend to move him to another bed
"To put on an act." Johann looked at his colleagues and said, "You guys can leave first. After five minutes, come in and send Mr. Crawford up."
The few healthcare workers nodded and left.
Luke asked, "Spit it out."
"There's no bleeding in your head. Apart from a minor concussion and the bump at the back of your head after being knocked on, your head is alright," Johann came out clear. "All of these are Percy's ideas. Please don't blame it on me."
Even though Luke was lying there, the domineering glance made Johann stutter uncontrollably.
"After you're being admitted, Percy told me you're troubled because of your relationship and wanted me to deceive your condition to the worst extent so that we can make Luca stay by your side. Then, you'll have your chance to persuade her to return. So, I've thought of it over and over and only this method can help you out."
"Foul idea." Luke closed his eyes.
Johann quickly came to the side of the bed and listening to his dishonest words, he teased, "What do you mean by a foul idea? Look, isn't Dr. Craw staying by your side? Besides, the cement cast over your leg can only be removed after a month. I guess during this month, there's more than enough time for you to make up for this relationship, right? Besides, you cannot insist on not going home and make her unable to leave. Now, even though it's a little embarrassing, it's still better. Besides, the concussion you're having is just temporary. When you're fine, you'll be able to work anywhere. Isn't that for the best?"
Listening to Johann's words left Luke speechless.
'Indeed, Luca had stayed back.'
Besides, things had come to this state, he had no choice but to go on with the plan. 'Or else, what can I do about it?'
He was not willing to see Luca left.
Johann smiled when he noticed Luke not saying a word. "You're the person who is involved in the chaos. I've already told you about your body condition. It's all just an act bringing you here for a checkup. After all, Dr. Craw isn't someone who is easily being fooled. Alright, when you're back to your ward, go enjoy this rare chance of treatment."
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1896-The treatment that Johann talked about was the care given to him by Luca.
After five minutes, the healthcare workers followed his order and entered the CT room.
Johann tapped on the head of the bed as if he was tapping on Luke's shoulder. "Even though you will have to spend the remaining one month on the wheeling chair, I hope you will enjoy it. After all, fracturing your bone is not a small matter. Come, let's return to the ward."
The healthcare workers heard it and sent Luke back to the ward.
Luca was not in the ward.
Johann turned around and looked at Luke, who was placed in position. Pfft. "Has Dr. Craw left?"
"She wouldn't," said Luke with confidence. 'Luca is not such a person.'
Even if she was avoiding Jim, she would not simply leave him. After all, he was still in the hospital and would not just leave without saying a word.
Besides, even if Luca did not say anything, she did not put on an expression showing she was heartbroken.
However, he could still vaguely feel it. Even if she did not say anything, he could still clearly feel it and was not just cheating himself. 'Luca is indeed worried about me.'
"Are you so sure about it?" Johann took out his handphone and called Luca.
"Where are you, Dr. Craw?"
"I'm at the restaurant nearby the hospital buying breakfast, Dr. Park. Is Mr. Crawford's report out already?" Luca asked. She knew that the report would be out soon if it was anything related to Luke.
"So you went to buy breakfast. I was wondering where you could have been." Johann purposely looked at Luke, who was having a calm look, confident that Luca would not leave him. 'Indeed, they are husband and wife. Even though they had not been in contact for three years, they both still knew each other so well.
He was impressed.
"The report is out. I've gone through it, and there isn't any more bleeding going on. You don't have to worry about it, but someone will still need to look after the patient. When will you be back?" Johann tried to persuade Luca to come back with his words; only half of them being true.
'Indeed, Luke needs someone to look after but he's not having any bleeding.'
"Maybe I'll still need some time because I'm outside now. I'll get back as soon as possible." Luca was relieved. Her anxious feelings had finally become composed.
Luke lifted the sides of his mouth. Even if he was eating just a simple bowl of porridge, he would be picky about it too. The porridge provided in the hospital was not up to his taste. There would not be any guarantee that he would eat the porridge even if it was bought from outside.
That was the reason she went out of the hospital to buy.
"So that's the reason. Then I shall have the nurse look after him for now. We'll talk once you're back," said Johann and hung up the call. He looked at the man on the hospital bed. "It looks like you've guessed it correctly. Dr. Craw is indeed concerned for you. She didn't run away and even knew you are picky on your food. She didn't buy the porridge in the hospital but went outside to buy it. Pfft. She really puts in a lot of effort."
Listening to Johann's teasing tone made Luke put on an expressionless face and interrupted him, "If you're envious, then go get yourself a girlfriend too but no one can say for sure whether or not you will
meet a good one."
Johann came to a pause. 'I think I've heard this comment back when this couple was madly in love with each other.'
Currently, with them in such a state, it was nowhere better than being a bachelor like himself, but Luke still got the rights to show off.
Johann pursed his lips. "You're too over, Luke."
"I'm just stating the truth." Luke continued closing his eyes and was very calm.
The nurse beside him smiled sneakily. Johann saw it and cleared his throat. " Stop laughing, it's not that I don't have a crush. It's just that I only like one person. What's wrong about it?"
The nurse quickly nodded. Because the nurse had been working together with Johann for a very long time, she teased him with a tone almost similar to Luke's, "Everyone in the hospital knew that you enjoy living by yourself, Dr. Park. You don't have to emphasize it."
"Enough. Stop teasing me. Take good care of the patient. If he's dizzy or vomited, don't need to notify me. Just do the necessary," after Johann was done saying, he left the scene.
He had obviously helped Luke so many times but every time, it would be him who ended up being hurt.
Not just Luke, it was also with Percy and Jim. They would always act all lovey-dovey before him, making him feel hurt.
After Luca was done buying breakfast, she rushed to the hospital.
She walked to a nearby shop and thought of Luke having no towel and some necessities. Besides, there was only one nanny at home. It would not be rational to have her deliver it to the hospital. Hence,
she entered the shop and bought some daily necessities.
She had no idea how long Luke would be admitted. Hence, those would need to be prepared. Luca knew Luke was picky. Nothing in the hospital was good. All she could do was reduce the chances of Luke having a bad mood.
Luca held onto the breakfast and daily necessaries and entered the ward. The nurse saw her and said, "I'm leaving the patient in your hands."
"Oh right, can he sit up?" Luca asked. If he was able to sit upright, it would make it easy for him to eat breakfast and brush his teeth.
"It depends on him. If he's able to sit up without feeling dizzy, then it's alright. If he does feel dizzy, then don't force him to do so," said the nurse.
Luca nodded and placed the package in her hand down and looked at the hospital bed.
Luke was also looking at her.
His deep-seated eyes were as if had hidden lots of things that he wished to say.
"Mr. Crawford, do you want to brush your teeth?" Luca evaded his gaze and pretended to arrange the items in the plastic bag.
She knew Luke was very hygienic. Regardless of what happened, he would prefer to brush his teeth before having breakfast.
"Alright." Luke could feel that Luca was evading. Previously, he did not hide this temper and forced it too much on her. Hence, it was only normal for her to evade him.
Currently, she did not leave immediately and that was already the best outcome.
Luca held onto the basin and arrived at the sink. She was meticulous and tested for the temperature of the water. Then, she carried it to the side of the hospital bed.
"Mr. Crawford, do you want to adjust your bed a little higher? That will make it easier for you to brush your teeth," she asked.
"You're free to do so as you deem it fit," Luke closed his eyes and said.
Luca nodded and slowly adjusted the bed higher. As she was adjusting, she took more of Luke's expression.
Looking at him slowly frowning made her actions come to a halt. "Are you feeling dizzy?"
"I'm fine. Give me the cup and toothbrush." Luke opened his eyes, feeling a little dizzy but still bearable.
Even though he wanted Luca to look after him, he still got to preserve his image.
Luca passed the cup of water for brushing his teeth and the toothbrush with toothpaste on it to Luke. "I bought all of these at the convenience store. The quality might not be that good but just bear with it for the time being."
Luke did not say a word. Indeed, those items did not match up to his branded items used to brush his teeth, but under such circumstances, he had no choice of being picky.
He believed she was terrified last night. When Percy called her to inform her that Luke was admitted, she did not even think of packing up her own stuff.
Luca watched Luke's action of slowly brushing his teeth, guessing perhaps it was because he was still not in good shape. She wanted to help but thought it might be too intimating. Hence, she just waited for him patiently.
After brushing his teeth, she squeezed the towel dry and passed it over to him.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1897-Luke closed his eyes and lay on the bed. His face looked awful because he was feeling dizzy. "You help me with it."
Luca knew he was already at his limit and did not hesitate and helped him get his face washed. Then, she lowered the bed.
The head of the bed was slowly lowered and after Luke felt much better, he said, "That's the way."
Luca's action came to a halt. She got up and said, "I'll go and pour the water away, Mr. Crawford. Then, only I'll serve you the breakfast."
"Alright." Luke closed his eyes. He had yet to recover from the dizziness he had from earlier and just laid there quietly.
Luca carried the basin to the toilet and poured the water away. Then, she squeezed the towel dry and hung it on the hanger to dry it.
She walked out of the bathroom and looked at Luke.
Earlier he was still having a pale look and currently, he looked much better. She knew he was feeling much better. Hence, she opened up the lunch box and softly asked, "Do you want some porridge, Mr. Crawford?"
Luke had no appetite, but Luca went through the cold weather outside just to buy the porridge for him and he could not afford to let her effort go to waste. "Alright."
Initially, Luca wanted to sit at the side of the bed and feed him, but such a distance would be too intimating. Hence, she moved the chair and sat at the side of the bed. She held onto a spoon and started feeding Luke the porridge.
She was being patient and after letting the porridge cool down, served it to Luke.
He went with the flow and opened his mouth to eat it.
With each spoon fed, and after Luke had finished half the bowl of porridge, only he said, "I had enough."
"Alright." Luca nodded and took the porridge away.
Only then, she walked into the bathroom and started brushing her teeth. Then, she ate her breakfast.
Luke lay on the hospital bed and raised his hand.
Luca saw it and immediately got up to ask, "What are you doing, Mr. Crawford?"
"Where is my handphone?" Luke said softly. When facing Luca, he was unable to speak sternly. The anger he was having yesterday had pretty much cooled down.
Luca placed her breakfast down and took out the handphone from the drawer at the head of the bed. "Yesterday, Mr. Mallory helped put your handphone inside here."
Luke took it and unlocked the password and read through the unread messages.
He clicked into it and there were Jason and Tina's messages. There were also Percy's messages and the messages from the kids.
Luke clicked into the kids' messages first. It was sent in the morning, and they told him that Luca had left.
He lifted his eyes and looked at Luca before him. Perhaps she did not want the kids to be worried and had made the arrangements yesterday. Hence, they were clueless about it. At that moment, she was right before him.
Luke did not reply to them and continued reading other messages.
Percy's messages were all nonsense, asking him to grab hold of this rare chance.
He purposely deleted all of his messages so that Luca would not be suspicious in the future.
Lastly, only he clicked into Jason's message.
Perhaps it was Percy who had notified him, Jason knew that Luke was admitted to the hospital. Hence, he came to greet him intentionally.
Luke squinted his eyes. Despite being dizzy at that moment, he still got to work. After all, he could not afford to delay the project.
Hence, he gave Jason a ton of job lists to be done.
Luca was eating her breakfast while looking at Luke holding onto his handphone. She knew he was currently doing his work and felt sorry for him.
Outsiders all viewed him as a grand person but only Luca knew that Luke had sacrificed so much of his rest just to develop T Corporation throughout the past few years.
Even if he fell sick, or how great the Crawford family was, he would not forget to work. All just to make sure the company would have a better future. After all, only the strongest ones would not be picked on, and able to stand firm at the top in the society, and not be looked down on by others.
He was that sort of person.
His target was to make the T Corporation stronger and with this target in mind, not only did it reward him fame and status, but also fortune. In the meantime, it guaranteed the life of many people who were working hard in A City.
His pride was all a result of his hard work, and his effort made others live a better life.
However, all these, only she knew about it and no one knew a thing about it.
Luca sighed within her. After some time, her handphone rung.
She took it out to have a look at it and it was a message from Jason.
He was asking whether she needed his help.
Luca was guessing perhaps it was Luke who told Jason something. Hence, Jason knew about her staying by his side, taking care of Luke.
She thought for a moment and replied, [Can I trouble you to make a trip over to the villa to help me get my office bag? Also, can you bring the documents that needed to be settled for today as well? Thanks.]
Jason replied very fast. [No problem. I'll go get it for you this instant.]
After 45 minutes, Jason showed up in Luke's ward, with Tina following behind, and both of them were holding a bunch of items.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford, Dr. Craw." They both called out simultaneously.
Luca got up and took the initiative to take the bag over from Tina. "Thank you."
Tina had a serious look. Given it was any usual day, for sure she would be smiling but currently, Luke was still lying on the hospital bed, if she were to smile, perhaps it might not be too appropriate. "Dr. Craw, this is my responsibility. The packet you're holding is a change of clean clothes that I brought over for you. Also, this bag is your office bag and the documents that you need to settle for today."
Luca took out the office bag and there were still documents from yesterday that were yet to settle. However, it was not much, and she should be able to overcome it.
After all, she was supposed to take care of Luke.
Even though he was picky, he was easier to look after compared to other patients. That was because apart from his basic needs, most of his time was spent on work.
She glanced at the remaining documents and asked, puzzled, "That's all for today that I'm supposed to handle?"
Tina nodded and explained, "That's because you got to take care of Mr. Crawford. So, I've made Alya take up most of the work."
"Everyone in the company knew about it?" Luca lowered her voice. She looked at the bed and noted Jason was reporting the work progress to Luke.
"Rest assured, Mr. Doyle and I didn't intentionally tell the outsiders. Maybe soon they will come to know that Mr. Crawford met with an accident, but they won't know you're here looking after him," Tina quickly said as she knew what she was worried about.
Luca nodded.
Things between her and Luke were pretty complicated, and it had caused the workers in the company to make all sorts of predictions. Many of them thought that it was a fact that she did it for her profit.
They all thought there really was something going on between her and Luke.
However, she did her very best to maintain a distance making them make wild guesses but having no evidence to prove.
If they were to find out that she was currently taking care of Luke, for sure they would think everything was the truth after all and started gossiping behind their backs.
Even though she could not take control of the words that other people said, she still felt uncomfortable having others gossiping behind her back.
"Also, I've got you covered. I said you'll be working at Watson for the time being. So, you won't be in T Corporation. They will not suspect a thing." Tina thought through things. 'It seems like Mr. Crawford's leg had been put on a cement cast. For sure Luca will have to stay by his side to look after him. It's only natural that she can't return to the company.'
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1898-Luca looked at Tina thankfully and said, “Thank you."
“Don't mention it. Take a look at these. Is there anything you need?" Tina shook her head. She had yet to know Luca's true identity, and she just thought it was tough for Luca to take care of Luke.
After all, Tina knew how unpredictable Luke could be and how hard it was to serve him.
“Alright. Let me see." Luca was still planning to ask the maid to come over after the kids came back from school. Then, she could go back and pack some stuff. After all, she had to watch over Luke. She might have to stay here for a few days.
There was no way she could stay here without bringing any clothes with her.
Tina followed behind her and explained, "Mr. Doyle and I went to the mansion to take these. I didn't know what you needed, so I grabbed some warm clothes, the skincare products on your dressing table, and some toiletries. As for Mr. Crawford's things, I didn't dare to go into his bedroom. I didn't manage to get anything for him."
Luca checked the things, and there was nothing she lacked. Tina had prepared everything well.
“These will be enough. Thank you," said Luca. She thanked Tina from the bottom of her heart.
Tina knew Luca was staying together with Luke. She was not curious about it, and neither did she gossip about it. Instead, she helped Luca keep it a secret.
Hence, even though Tina had found out about it, Luca was assured that the news would not spread in the office.
“No problem. Let me report my work first," replied Tina.
"Sure." Luca nodded as she watched Tina walk toward Jason and stand beside him. She joined him to report on their work. Luca took the initiative to walk out of the ward to avert any suspicion. She headed to the corridor.
Johann had arranged for Luke's ward to be at the end of the corridor. With this arrangement, his privacy was well protected.
Luca could understand Johann's good intentions.
There was a door at the end of the corridor. The door led to a garden. However, the door to the garden was closed to prevent patients from doing things that could harm themselves.
Luca could see the scenery of the garden through the windows.
It was an outdoor garden. The leaves had already fallen off the plants, leaving the bare branches on them.
Luca let out a sigh. Frost had begun to cover the windows.
It would be snowing soon.
Luca recalled that three years ago when her family was still living a peaceful life, Luke would bring the kids to the yard to have a snowball fight on the first snowfall of the year.
Luke and the kids would wear warm clothes, so they were not afraid of the cold. They would throw snowballs at each other happily.
Rainie had little strength, so she could never win against her elder brother. Tommy was still little back then and was always defeated by his elder brother and sister. Luke would help Rainie to make snowballs and carry Tommy on his shoulders so that he could throw the snowballs from a higher position.
Meanwhile, she would prepare warm tea and refreshments for them in the kitchen. Sometimes, she would look at them playing in the yard through the windows. She would always be amused by their laughter.
She had such a warm family at that time.
Even though it was snowing outside, their hearts were warm and they could withstand the cold winter.
Luca wrapped her arms around herself and stood at the end of the corridor while looking outside the windows. The scenery outside was not beautiful, but it reminded her of the past.
It would be snowing soon, and the kids would be having their winter break...
"Luca?" A voice interrupted Luca's thoughts. She turned around and realized that it was Nina calling out her name.
"Nina, why are you here?" Luca remembered that Nina was probably here because of Jean's matter.
Nina smiled at her bitterly and explained, "I'm cleaning up Jean's mess."
Nina had been exhausted in the past few days. Tyrone's condition was very unstable, and he had stayed in the ICU for another two days. The doctor only approved Tyrone to be transferred to the general ward today.
Nina felt guilty about it. She requested Johann to get Tyrone a VIP ward so that he could get better resources for recuperation. That was why she followed Tyrone here.
Nina did not expect to run into Luca.
Luca listened to Nina's explanation and understood how helpless Nina felt. Nina even refused to address Jean as her elder brother now. It seemed like the matter was quite difficult and troublesome
this time.
"How's the man who got beaten up by Jean?" Luca had asked Percy about the matter while she was waiting for Luke to get his leg cast. That was why she knew about it.
"His life is no longer in danger. And he has regained consciousness. That's why I asked Dr. Park to get him a VIP ward for him to continue receiving medical treatment," answered Nina. It was Jean's fault, after all. Hence, spending a little more money was necessary to calm the Hugh family's anger.
Luca nodded. "Tell me if you need anything. I'll help with whatever I can."
"There's actually something you can help me with." Nina took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth. The chances of Jean being thrown into prison would be lowered if Luca could help.
"Tell me." Luca noticed the anxiety in Nina's eyes. She promised to help her without a second thought.
"The doctor told me that the surgery might have caused some damage to Tyrone's nerves, but he doesn't know the extent of the damage for now. Tyrone might need to receive physiotherapy, including acupuncture treatment. I've heard Dr. Park mention that you studied a lot about acupuncture treatment in the past, and your skills are better than those of other doctors. That's why I'd like to ask you for a favor. Can you help me if Tyrone really does need..." Nina knew it was abrupt of her to ask for Luca's help all of a sudden, but she had no other way.
“Of course." Luca agreed to help her without hesitation.
Nina let out a sigh of relief. The chances of Tyrone completely recovering would be higher with Luca helping her.
"Thank you." Nina's eyes reddened. Before this, Nina was always wondering if she should ask for Luca's help. However, she knew Luca was quite busy with her work. The uneasiness in Nina's heart
was relieved the moment Luca agreed to help her.
"Alright. Let's not talk about this anymore." Luca lifted her hand, pondered for a moment, and stroked Nina's head.
A familiar feeling aroused in Nina's heart. She had always felt familiar with Luca. She was even surer of her feelings when Luca stroked her head.
"Oh, how's Luke?" Nina had received news that Luke got into an accident from Percy.
Luca replied, "Everything is in control. He should be fine."
"That's great." Nina let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, someone walked out of the ward. It was Keith. He looked at Nina with slightly narrowed eyes and said, "I thought you escaped."
"I told you before. I'll take responsibility and won't run away." Nina turned around and gave him a stern look.
"You said that when you didn't know how serious my brother's condition was at that time. Who knows if you'll run away? It'll be a big problem if my brother doesn't recover!" Keith was the most educated one among the three brothers. That was why he could understand the doctor's words very well.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1899-Nina took a deep breath. Of course, she knew it would be a big problem if Tyrone's recovery did not go well.
"I said that I'll take up the responsibility. My brother has been detained by the police officers now. How can I run away? Besides, I'll find the best doctor for Tyrone if he really has to receive treatment at a later stage. Don't worry." The only thing she could do was to assure Keith.
It had only been a few days, yet Nina was already on the verge of collapsing.
Anna thought Jean's case was just a small matter at first. It was only when Jean was detained in his ward that she realized how serious it was.
Hence, Anna would call and text Nina to urge Nina to bail Jean out whenever she had the chance to do so.
However, Nina did not listen to her. She had been dealing with the mess that Jean had left behind.
Nina was exhausted. She would have broken down without Percy's help.
Nina could bail Jean out, but she did not do so. It was because Jean should learn his lesson this time while he was detained in the custodial ward instead of prison. After all, it was much better than being in prison.
Keith narrowed his eyes. Indeed, Jean was still being held in the custodial ward, and Nina did not look like she would bail him out.
Keith had been asking people to dig into the Langdon family's background lately. He found out that the sister and brother had a sick mother who was in this hospital too. If that was the case, they would be able to look for the brother and mother even if Nina ran away.
Keith narrowed his eyes, sizing Nina up maliciously. He then looked at the person behind Nina, Luca.
He held his finger up and pointed at them with a hideous expression on his face, “You've given your word.”
After that, he turned around and left the ward.
Nina let out a sigh.
Luca turned to look at Luke's ward. Jason and Tina had yet to come out. She thought Luke was still discussing work matters with them.
Although Luca did not want Luke to handle work matters with his condition now, there was no helping it sometimes.
They would not be able to complete the bidding document in time if Luke was not around to call the shots. Moreover, this man had always sought perfection in every detail. He was self-demanding and strict with the others as well.
That was why Luca did not try to advise him.
Besides, she was in no position to give him advice.
Nina looked at her and asked, “Luca, why aren't you going in?"
Percy knew Nina would be going to the hospital frequently these days, so she might run into Luca. That was why he told Nina that Luca would be keeping Luke company in the hospital. He even asked Nina not to interfere with what was going on between them.
Nina knew there must be a reason why Percy said so, so she promised him.
"Mr. Doyle and someone else is in there. They should be busy handling work matters. It's not a good idea if I go in now," explained Luca.
Nina nodded. She knew Luca was trying to avoid being suspected by her. It was an important project, after all. No mistakes were allowed.
"Can I go in and visit the patient?" Luca asked.
Nina pondered for a moment. Larry did now show up today, and Keith had left. There was only Tyrone and Aunt Jenny in the ward. Nina nodded and said, "Sure."
Luca followed Nina into the ward.
Aunt Jenny was sitting on the chair beside the ward bed and silently wiping her tears. She rolled her eyes at Nina when she saw her coming in.
Nina had gotten used to Aunt Jenny's attitude toward her. Aunt Jenny would always roll her eyes at Nina whenever she saw her. She would point at Nina and scold her if the doctor informed her of some bad news.
Nina could understand Aunt Jenny's feelings. After all, who would be willing to let their son suffer all of these things?
That was why Nina had been enduring it silently.
Other than the beeping sounds of the monitoring equipment in the ward, there was no conversation between Nina and Aunt Jenny. Luca read the vital signs on the monitor. The patient's vital signs were stable. That was why the patient was able to transfer from the ICU to the general ward.
"How is he?" Nina asked.
"His vital signs are good," answered Luca as she looked at the bandage on Tyrone's head. Then, she asked in a soft voice, "Only his head is injured, right?"
"There are other wounds too, but they're not life-threatening except for his head injury..." Nina let out a sigh. Jean had hit his head way too hard and ruthlessly.
Nina had watched the surveillance footage of the bar after she got her hands on it. She realized that the reason why the glass shards were pierced into Tyrone's head was that after Jean smashed Tyrone's head with the bottle, he kicked him. It caused Tyrone to fall to the floor. He knocked his head on the bar counter the moment he fell. That was how the glass shards got into his brain.
"He's going to be fine." Luca comforted Nina. She could not see the condition of Tyrone's injuries, but fortunately, he managed to survive this.
Aunt Jenny turned around and looked at them viciously. “Who are you? What makes you think that my son will be alright? He's lying here, and who's the one to blame for that?"
Luca parted her lips as she wanted to explain it to her.
Nina pulled her hand and apologized to Aunt Jenny. "I'm sorry. It's my brother's fault. Luca, let's go out and talk."
Luca nodded.
The two of them walked out of the ward. Luca noticed Nina's reddened eyes, and she comforted her with a soft voice, saying, "Don't worry. Everything is going to be alright."
Nina sniffed and nodded. She felt better after Luca comforted her.
Both of them stood in the corridor, looking at the glass door at the end of the corridor and the scenery outside the windows.
Winter would always come to an end.
Jason and Tina walked out of the ward ten minutes later.
Jason saw Luca and said, "Dr. Craw, Mr. Crawford is looking for you."
Luca nodded and glanced at Nina, who was beside her.
"Off you go." Nina did not say anything more. Luke needed someone to take care of him now, and Luca was good at taking care of people. What else could she say?
"Call me if anything happens," said Luca. Then, she returned to Luke's ward.
Luke was still sitting in a reclined position on the bed. What was different was that there were piles of documents beside him, and he was holding a stack in his hands.
"Mr. Crawford, what's the matter?" Luca did not stop him from working.
"Please get me something to drink." Luke did not put down the document in his hands. He told her what he needed directly.
Luca nodded and wondered why he did not tell Jason to get him a drink. She believed that it would not be a big deal for Jason and Tina to help him with that.
Luca poured one-third of warm water and added two-thirds of cold water into a glass so that the temperature would be just nice for him to drink it immediately.
As Luke was sitting in a reclined position, Luca was thoughtful enough to take one of the straws the nurse gave to her and put it in the glass. Then, she handed it to Luke.
Luke put down the document, held the glass with his hands, and drank it slowly.
Luca tidied up the pile of documents on his bedside and placed them on the bedside table according to the colors and the importance of the folders.
Luke said, "It's inconvenient for me to take them if you arrange them like that."
Luke dared not to move too much, and he did not even dare to turn around. He would feel light-headed if he was even a little careless.
"I can help," Luca said in a soft voice.

Luca quickly lowered her head and placed the documents properly after she met Luke's gaze.
Luke finished drinking the glass of water and noticed that Luca was still busy arranging the pile of documents. He said calmly, "Coffee tastes better."
Luca knew Luke was craving coffee again. She paused what she was doing and took the glass from him, putting it back where it was. "Mr. Crawford, it's better to have plain water now."
"Am I not allowed to have any coffee?" Luke frowned. He only had a fractured bone. He was not sick at all.
"Yes. You can have milk or juice if you think plain water is tasteless," said Luca deliberately. Juice or milk was not Luke's top choice even if there was no coffee.
Luke enjoyed drinking coffee. Apart from that, he would drink plain water and wine. Luca knew his preferences like the back of her hand.
"Fine." Luke was indeed not interested in either of them. Luca smiled subtly as she seldom saw Luke surrendering to her.
Luca placed Luke's laptop on the other side of the bed after she arranged the documents. It was for the nurse's convenience when she came to give Luke the injection. That way, his things would not hold her up.
Luca returned to the sofa after that. She placed her personal belongings that Tina had helped to bring over into an empty cabinet. Then, she turned on the laptop and began to work.
The ward became quiet again. Luca sat on the sofa, reading the documents and typing the translations on her laptop.
Luca asked Tina for Alya's email after she finished translating a document. Then, she sent the translated document to her and continued to translate another one.
Luke did not make a fuss anymore. He would only occasionally lift his head to glance at Luca when he was reading the documents.
It set his mind at ease whenever he saw her figure in the ward as it would remind him that she was here.
Although it was embarrassing to be involved in a car accident this time, it was worth it.
The nurse came in and saw Luke handling the documents. She reminded him with a gentle voice, "Mr. Crawford, based on your condition now, it's better for you to get some rest. Don't overwork yourself."
"Okay." Luke did not look up. He put his arm on the bedside for the nurse to give him the injection.
The nurse saw the piles of documents on the bedside table and glanced at Luca. The documents with Luca were not that many, but she was busy working too.
Although they were in the hospital, it seemed like they came to work there. If it had not been for the cast on Luke's leg, the nurse would have thought they were here to visit another patient. They even brought their documents along to work on them.
The nurse remained silent. After all, she could not afford to offend the patients staying in the VIP wards.
She gave Luke the injection and adjusted the rate of flow of the IV drip. Then, she reminded Luke. "Please remember to rest and don't burn yourself out."
Luke did not say a word.
Luca lifted her head, smiled at the nurse, and said, "Alright. Thank you."
The nurse nodded and left the ward without saying another word.
Luke picked up the laptop beside him after he finished working on one of the documents. He typed on the keyboard of the laptop, replying to an email and attaching a document.
He typed quickly on the keyboard. Luca looked at the needle on the back of his hand. Based on the speed of his hands, he would soon have to change to another new needle.
"Please pass me another folder." Luke knew Luca was looking at him, so he said directly.
Luca nodded and put down the document she was holding. She went to get the folder at the top of the piles of documents and handed it to Luke.
Luke placed the laptop on his thighs, took the folder from Luca, and said calmly, "Thank you."
Luca fell silent for a moment and said stiffly, "You're welcome."
She placed the document he had finished working on in another spot so that he would not mix it up.
Luke noticed what she did.
The woman who knew his habits so well but refused to admit her true identity. That sounded a little ironic.
Luca did not say anything when she saw him continue working on the documents. Hence, she returned to the sofa without a word and continued with her translation.
However, it was uncomfortable to sit on the sofa as Luca needed to use the laptop. She had to bend her waist with this seating posture.
She would accidentally place pressure on her wound that had almost recovered whenever she bent down.
However, Luca could not sit on the floor.
Luca pursed her lips. Then, she eventually found a more comfortable sitting position and continued to work.
The maid came to deliver lunch when it was noontime.
Luke did not pretend to be sick. He ate his lunch himself.
Luca did not ask him if he needed to be fed when she saw him eating his lunch. After all, Luke could eat lunch himself. There was no need for her to do things like that if he did not ask her.
The maid looked at the two of them and asked, “Mr. Crawford, Ms. Luca, what would you like to have for dinner tonight?" "I'm fine with anything." Luke was not craving anything. It was because the food he ate would all taste the same if it was not Luca who prepared them. It would not taste special, and it would not make him look forward to it.
The maid turned to look at Luca.
“Something light. Please make some bone broth if that's possible. It's good for the bones," answered Luca.
The maid frowned with embarrassment and said, "Ms. Luca, do you know how to prepare bone broth? I've never made that before. I'm not sure how to."
"I'll send you the recipe later. It's simple." Luca picked up her phone and sent the recipe to the maid. "Don't buy the ingredients at the supermarket or the market. You must head to the fresh market to get them. The quality of the ingredients is better there."
"Okay. I'll go get the ingredients now." The maid packed the thermos bottle and brought it out with her.
Luca glanced at the time, only to see that it was almost time for Luke to take his medicine. She walked toward the ward bed and took some pills out from the container that the nurse gave earlier. Then, she grabbed a glass of warm water and said, "Mr. Crawford, after you take your pills, it's time for your afternoon nap."
Luke had been working on the documents since he had his lunch.
Luke took the pills that were on Luca's palm and stuffed them in his mouth. Then, he drank the warm water and swallowed the pills.
There were seven or eight pills in total. Luke did not even frown when he swallowed them.
There was an indescribable feeling surging in Luca's heart.
"Do you want me to help you to lower your bed?" Luca asked.
Luke's gaze fell on the documents once again. Although he wanted to look at Luca, he was afraid that his gentle gaze would shock Luca.
Percy was right. Luke had to forget what had happened in the past in order to mend their relationship.
Luke had to behave like a normal person and not make a scene out of things. He had to rebuild his image so that he would not make Luca worried.
Even though Luke was unconvinced, it was a good idea to stop her from leaving him.
"I don't take afternoon naps." Luke typed on the keyboard as he continued to reply to the emails.
Luca looked at him and frowned slightly. "You've been working hard all morning. You need to rest."
"I have tons of work to do," replied Luke. He wondered if it was because of the concussion, he felt that his working efficiency had reduced a lot.
New documents would be coming in later in the afternoon. If he continued at this pace, he would not be able to finish them in time.
Luca put on a helpless expression on her face as she looked at Luke. She would never force Luke to do so if it were not for his concussion and injuries.
