Ch. 1901..1910
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1901-A voice came from behind the door when Luca felt helpless.
“You have to be harsh to the patient if he refuses to listen to you," said Johann as he came walking in.
Luca watched Johann ignore Luke's wishes and lowered his bed directly.
"You!" Luke was forced to lie down while he was still holding a document in his hands. The laptop that was on his thighs was tilting now.
"You should be resting. Besides, aren't you tired of reading like this? Why don't you use the desk?" Johann asked. He was grinning at Luke, while Luke stared at him angrily.
"Mind your own business. Adjust it back." Luke tried to sit up on the bed, but he felt dizzy after he moved a little.
He could not even sit up on the bed.
"You can't get up, right?" Johann grinned and said, "Take a nap. You won't feel dizzy when you wake up later."
Luke glared at him and asked, "Why?"
"I gave you some medicine. It'll take some time before it takes effect. You'll feel better after taking a nap. And your condition will naturally improve too," said Johann.
Luca picked up Luke's laptop and put it away. Then, she grabbed the document Luke was holding in his hands.
"Mr. Crawford, you should take a rest since the doctor said so."
Luke was about to say something, but Johann shook his head. "Don't tell me you can't sleep. The medicine I gave you can help you sleep. Calm yourself down, then see if you can fall asleep."
"You did it on purpose!" Luke's brows furrowed even more. Previously, Johann would avoid giving Luke any medicine that would make one feel drowsy whenever Luke fell sick.
A good night's sleep was a luxury to Luke.
He needed more time to handle his work.
"You have to take the medicine if you'd like to recover quickly and make those symptoms go away. Once you recover, you can go back to being a workaholic. Besides, don't you have Dr. Craw here with you? She can help." Johann closed the curtains as he said that. "Get some sleep. Just half an hour and you'll feel better."
Luke did not say another word. Perhaps he felt much more comfortable when he laid down, or maybe the medicine had begun to work, so he started to feel sleepy now.
Luca looked at Johann thankfully when she noticed Luke was no longer resisting. She stepped forward to cover Luke with the blanket.
Johann watched everything she did.
As an outsider, Johann could see clearly how much Luca cared about Luke. They had each other in their hearts, but why were they torturing each other like this?
They would be able to live happily together if they just got together, right?
Johann shook his head as he watched the awkward couple.
Luca happened to notice Johann's reaction and she asked in a soft voice, “Dr. Park, what's wrong?"
"I'm just sighing." As Johann watched Luke, who had his eyes closed, he thought Luke would be able to get a good night's sleep. Although the hospital was full of the smell of disinfectant, he had Luca with him.
Luke had come looking for Johann before, asking him to give him some medicine as he was suffering from insomnia. When Johann asked him why he never had insomnia before this, Luke told him it was because Bianca's presence made him feel relieved. He could fall asleep at once the moment he lay down on the bed as long as he could smell Bianca's scent in the air, or if he was in the same space as her.
Bianca was like the cure to Luke's illness.
Now, his cure had come back.
"Why are you sighing?" Luca asked in a soft voice. She could not help but wonder what was in Johann's mind.
"Only you and drugs that cause one to be drowsy can make him sleep so peacefully." After that, Johann smiled and left the ward.
Luca watched Johann leave the ward from behind. She was left deep in thought.
Did Johann know something about her? Perhaps both of them had found out something?
Luca did not dwell on it. Instead, she closed the door. Even though it was a VIP ward that was in the innermost corner on this floor, there were still a few patients' family members who would walk past the room out of curiosity.
Luca set the alarm for one and a half hours from now.
It would be unrealistic for Luke to stop working for the whole afternoon. It would be enough for him to sleep peacefully for one and a half hours.
Luca returned to the sofa. She could feel the wound on her waist hurting.
Luca touched her wound, and she had a bad feeling about it. She got up and walked into the washroom. Then, she removed the gauze and glanced at the mirror. Some blood was oozing from the wound.
Her wound had almost healed.
Perhaps it was because she had been sitting in a bad posture for the whole morning.
Luca thought she would not need to treat it since there was not too much blood oozing out. However, she realized the adhesive gauze could no longer stick when she tried to stick it back on her wound.
Luca had no choice but to take off the gauze. Then, she carefully tip-toed out of the ward and came to the nurses' station.
"Hello, can I have a roll of gauze, some bandage, iodine, and a few cotton swabs, please?" Luca said to the nurse.
Those were basic medical supplies, so there would be some at the nurses' station.
“Sure. But why do you need these? Is the patient injured?” the nurse recognized Luca and asked hurriedly.
"Oh no, I accidentally hurt myself. That's why I need those things to dress my wound. Please include the charges in Mr. Crawford's bills," said Luca.
"Where did you hurt yourself? Do you need my help?" The nurse took out the supplies that Luca needed.
"It's alright. I can do it myself," replied Luca. She took the supplies from the nurse and returned to the ward.
The facilities in the VIP wards were truly the best. The door made no sound when Luca pushed the door open.
Luca closed the door and headed to the washroom. She disinfected the wound and dressed the wound swiftly, then walked out of the washroom.
Luke, who was lying on the bed, was still sleeping soundly. He was not affected by Luca's movements.
Luca let out a sigh of relief. As she looked at the man on the bed, she felt a little sleepy too.
She did not rest well last night.
She had been keeping a close watch on Luke, so she only managed to get two hours of sleep.
Luca glanced at the sofa at the thought of this. There was no need for her to use the foldable hospital bed if she slept in a fetal position. Besides, she would be afraid that she would wake Luke up if she tried to unfold the bed.
Therefore, Luca took the blanket the hospital had provided for the patient's caretaker and lay down on the sofa. She closed her eyes, planning to take a nap.
She knew she would be able to fall asleep.
It was because Luke was in here with her.
It did not take long before Luca fell deeply asleep. She seemed to hear Luke snoring a little before she dozed off.
Luke seldom snored as he was a light sleeper.
He must be sleeping soundly now.
As Luca pondered, drowsiness slowly took hold of her. She no longer thought about Luke.
The alarm rang half an hour later.
Luca opened her eyes and glanced at the time. She was only planning to nap for half an hour, but she did not expect to have napped for one and a half hours with Luke.
Luca turned off the alarm. She sat up on the sofa and turned to look at the ward bed.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1902-The man lying on the bed was quiet. Luca listened carefully to his breathing. He was breathing steadily.
The alarm had not woken Luke.
Luca stood up and looked at Luke, who was still asleep. Although she could not bear to wake him up, he would be unhappy if he found out that he had rested for too long.
Besides, sleeping too much would affect his sleep at night.
Luca walked to the bed and called him gently, “Mr. Crawford, wake up."
Luke frowned, as though he was unhappy that someone was disturbing his sweet dreams.
"Mr. Crawford, time to get up." Luca continued to wake him.
Luke opened his eyes slowly and looked at the white ceiling. Only then did Luke realize he was in the hospital.
He had a long, sweet dream. He dreamt that he had gotten back together with Luca, and the two of them lived happily ever after.
Luca's appearance was no longer like how it was in the past. She looked like how she looked now. He slept comfortably while having such a dream, and he refused to wake up.
"How long have I been sleeping?" Luke lifted his hand, thinking of looking at the time. However, he remembered that he was in the hospital, and the nurse had kept all his belongings away.
"You slept for one and half an hours," answered Luca. "How are you feeling now?"
"Much better." Luke was surprised that he actually slept for one and a half hours. Was it because of the medicine?
Luca nodded. She was glad to hear that he was not feeling sick or uncomfortable. "Then, would you like to get up now?"
"Raise the bed." Luke gave his orders. He had fulfilled Johann's request and took a nap. He had enough rest.
Luca nodded and raised the bed for him. She noticed the changes in Luke's expression while she was raising the bed.
Luke's expression was calm, and it seemed that he was no longer dizzy. He spoke again when he almost sat up straight, "Okay."
"I'm alright. Draw the curtains." Luke noticed how worried Luca was. He wished that he could at least pretend he was weak so that Luca could take care of him more. However, the circumstances would not allow him to do so as he needed to work.
The remaining time left for the project could not allow him to delay any longer.
Luca saw Luke behaving naturally, and there were no signs of him showing that he felt uncomfortable. Thus, she turned around and drew the curtains. Then, she opened the ward's door and saw Jason, who was standing outside the door.
“Mr. Doyle, how long have you been standing here?”
Jason let out a sigh of relief when he saw Luca open the door. He closed the folder in his hands. Then, he turned around and picked up the briefcase on the floor. "Not that long. I didn't want to disturb you when I saw that you and Mr. Crawford were taking a nap."
Luca slightly blushed. The way Jason said it made it sound like something was going on between her and Luke.
"Dr. Park gave Mr. Crawford some medicine, and he said Mr. Crawford would feel better if he took a nap. That's why he napped for one and a half hours."
"Okay. I'm going to pass the documents to Boss." Jason grinned as he walked into the ward and handed another pile of documents to Luke. He said, "Boss, these are the documents you have to go through."
"Put these aside. And I've finished going through the documents on my right. Take these back." Luke nodded. There was not much of an expression on Luke's face when he saw the pile of documents Jason brought. Luke had gotten used to this busy life. He would be able to finish them all even if there was another pile of documents.
Jason nodded and placed the documents on the bedside table. "Alright, Boss. There are tons of documents. Dr. Craw can help if you can't manage all of them by yourself."
Jason turned around and glanced at Luca.
Luke noticed Jason's gesture, and he suddenly became upset. Then, he reminded Jason, "You may leave if you have nothing else to do here."
"Okay." Jason had no idea what he had done wrong. However, since his boss had said so, Jason left in a hurry.
Luca stood at the door. She waited until Jason had left, and only then did she return to the ward.
Luke was already handling his work.
Luca let out a sigh in her heart when she saw those new documents Jason had brought in just now.
How would Luke be able to stand it when he was physically weak now...
As Luca watched Luke sitting on the bed busy working, she asked, "Mr. Crawford, would you like me to set up the table for you?"
"Yes." Luke held one of the documents and raised his hand while looking at her.
Luca was swift enough to help him to set up the table that was attached beside the hospital bed. Then, she put his laptop and the important documents on the table.
Luke did not say a word. He watched Luca prepare everything for him before resuming work.
The moment she bent her waist, Luca felt a twinge of pain from the wound on her waist. She gasped and sat up straight so that she would not pressure her wound again.
Even though she had been careful enough, the pain in her body was still reminding her that she needed to be cautious.
Luca knew the wound was inflamed.
It was a rare situation. Her wound had almost recovered, and she would have been able to remove the stitches in two days.
The phone that Luca left on the coffee table vibrated. She picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Abel.
[T Corporation's bidding document is almost done, right? I want the contents of their bidding document. Send the information to me as soon as possible. Don't try to delay. Otherwise, your daughter will be in trouble.]
Luca looked at Abel's shameless menace. She clasped her phone tight, and the veins on the back of her hands popped out. How she wished that she could kill Abel right now.
Abel knew Luca could not bring herself to do so, and he knew how much the project meant to Luke and T Corporation. The project this time was the most important project in T Corporation, especially in comparison to Dr. Albus' drug formula. That was why Abel would go as far as to threaten Luca with Nyla's life.
“What's wrong?" The soft sound of the vibration had caught Luke's attention.
Luca appeared gloomy and depressed after she looked at her phone. She seemed angry.
"Nothing." Luca came back to her senses and deleted the message. Then, she put down her phone. No matter how helpless and angry she was, she could not show her emotions in front of Luke.
"Who sent you a message?" Luke pretended to ask unwittingly. Although Luca did not come clean to him, he could sense that something was wrong.
The veins on the back of Luca's hands were popping out, and Luca was pursing her lips tightly. It was as though she was exasperated.
Could it be that it was a message sent from the forces behind Luca? Was she being threatened?
Luke believed that someone was threatening her. Moreover, that person behind Luca was most likely holding a grudge against him. That was why Luke had sent his men to investigate the matter, but he did not find anything.
He had even sent people to the Island of Despair a few times. There was no sign of people living on that island.
Furthermore, after he cooperated with the Russians to destroy the forces on the Island of Despair, the forces in various regions that were previously oppressed by the Island of Despair were starting to assemble again.
They had their own territories and labor division. They were getting stronger and stronger. That was why it had become even more difficult to figure things out.
"It's a message from the property management. It's time to pay the management fee for the apartment." Luca looked down, trying to conceal her unnatural behavior by reading the documents.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1903-“Isn't your brother back here? Let him pay the fees," said Luke. He mentioned Amur on purpose.
Luca nodded and glanced at Luke. Then, she stood up and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm going out to make a call."
Luca walked out of the ward before Luke could say anything.
Luca leaned on the wall. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
It was difficult for her to lie to Luke.
Luca touched where her wound was with one of her hands. She reckoned that she would have to return to the mansion to get some medicine. She could not ask someone to get it for her as this was a personal matter.
"It's you." After Luca calmed herself down, she heard a voice when she was about to return to the ward.
Luca looked in the direction where the voice was coming from. With her good memory, she was able to recognize that person as the relative of the man whom Jean had injured.
It was the man who threatened Nina this morning.
"Can I help you?" Luca replied with a cold tone of voice. If it were not for Nina, she would not have been bothered to entertain this person who had been rude to Nina.
Keith was sizing Luca up. This woman was prettier than Nina.
Besides, Keith's aunt told him that this woman had followed Nina into the ward to visit Tyrone. She thought Luca was perhaps related to Nina.
"Do you recognize me?" Luca had caught Keith's interest. Keith thought that he would be able to pursue the woman in front of him even if he could not get Nina.
"The ward next door." Luca pointed at the ward opposite her.
"Yes. You've got a good memory. Oh, you're here for..." Keith noticed that Luca's hand was on the doorknob. "Is the person inside one of your relatives?"
"It's my boss," replied Luca. She could not be considered Luke's relative due to her identity now.
"So, the person in there is your boss. Are you working as a caretaker?" Keith immediately thought that Luca was working as a full-time caretaker. That was why Nina knew her.
After all, the man who supported Nina allowed her to easily arrange a VIP ward for Nina. It must be easy for Nina to enter VIP wards considering how she was relying on such a wealthy man. That was probably how Nina got to know a caretaker like Luca.
"What's the matter?" Luca did not feel like talking to the man in front of her.
“It's nothing important. I was wondering how much you charge per day. We're planning to get a caretaker for the person staying in this ward, my cousin. That's why I want to ask you whether you're interested in the opportunity. The fees won't be a problem. We can afford it anyway." Keith deliberately pretended to sound like a deep-pocketed man, thinking that Luca would agree with this.
After all, there were no contracts between the employer and caretakers. Hence, caretakers would certainly choose the party who offered more money.
Keith refused to believe that Luca would miss out on such a good chance to earn some money.
"I'm not interested," said Luca. Even though she knew Keith had misunderstood what her job was, she did not explain it to him either. "You can ask the nurse if you're looking for a caretaker. They know some
professional caretakers. Judging by your cousin's condition, it'd be better for you to look for a professional caretaker to take care of him."
“Aren't you professional enough?" Keith insisted on hiring her. “We can afford to pay as much as you want. We're rich."
“Stop talking so loud outside the wards. You're disturbing the others," said Luca. She pushed the door open and walked into the ward.
Keith was curious and wanted to take a look inside the ward. What kind of person could make Luca loyal to them?
However, Luca closed the door relentlessly. She even pulled the curtains of the window on the door to prevent Keith from peeking inside.
Keith did not manage to catch a glimpse. He could not help but feel embarrassed, and he muttered to himself in a low voice, "What's so great about that? You're just a f*cking caretaker. How dare you look down on me?! Just wait and see how much money we can get from that woman when Tyrone recovers. You won't be good enough for me when the time comes!"
Luke watched Luca walk into the ward. Even though the soundproofing of the ward was good enough, he could still hear the noises outside the door.
“What's with the noises just now?" Luke asked.
Luca explained, “It's someone from the opposite ward. Nina's brother injured someone. She arranged for the patient to be transferred to the opposite ward to receive treatment."
Luke nodded and commented, “Jean is such a troublemaker. It seems he didn't learn his lesson when he was in prison back then."
Luca agreed with him and nodded. It was only later that she realized her conversation with Luke sounded like they were having small talk.
Luca cleared her throat and did not answer him. She stepped forward and poured a glass of warm water for him. She said, “Mr. Crawford, please have a glass of water."
“Put it aside," said Luke.
Luca set the glass of water aside. Then, she returned to the sofa and sat down to continue with her work.
It was four in the afternoon when Jason showed up in the ward. He came to take the documents.
Luca handed Jason the documents that Luke had finished working on. At the same time, she also handed the source documents to Jason, while she sent the translated files to Alya directly.
Jason turned to look at Luke after he took the documents from Luca and said, “Boss, there are some matters about the project that I have to report to you."
"Say it." Luke's gaze did not move away from the laptop screen.
Luca silently stood up and walked to the door when she heard that it was something related to the project.
Jason noticed that and turned around to look at Luca. Then, he looked at Luke again.
"Didn't you say you need to report something to me?" Luke asked impatiently. He did not stop Luca when she tried to excuse herself from their conversation.
Jason nodded and reported to Luke immediately. He could not talk about these on the phone, and he had to report them to him personally.
Luca could not hear anything once the door was closed. She could not help but wonder. She came here to gather intelligence, but she took the initiative to excuse herself. At the end of the day, she still refused to do anything that would harm Luke.
Johann came over and saw Luca standing outside the door. He asked, "Dr. Craw, why are you standing here alone?"
"Mr. Doyle is reporting to Mr. Crawford in there," explained Luca.
Johann was a wise man. He nodded and waited outside the door together with her.
"How is Luke feeling this afternoon?" Johann asked.
Johann did not come to see Luke for the whole afternoon. It was not that he was not worried about Luke. It was just that he was so busy that he could barely find any time to come over.
Johann hurried over here once he finished performing an operation and after he handed over the rest of the tasks.
"He napped for an hour and a half after he took the medicine. He's feeling much better now, and he doesn't feel dizzy anymore when he sits up straight," reported Luca.
Johann nodded and asked, "What's wrong with your waist?"
Luca looked at him, puzzled, "Nothing."
"I noticed that you've been supporting your waist with your arm when you're talking to me. Are you really okay?" Johann asked. He was pretty sure that it was not a habit of Luca's. After all, she did not have this habit back then.
Johann could figure out what was wrong with patients by just observing them. It became his instinct after being a doctor for so many years. That was why Johann thought something must be wrong when Luca stood here with her hand supporting her waist.
Luca lowered her head and glanced at her hand.
She was unconsciously protecting the wound on her waist with her hand.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1904-“Nothing. It's just a relapse." Luca knew telling an experienced doctor like Johann that she was fine would arouse his suspicion. She had no choice but to find another excuse.
"Do you need me to do a check-up on you?" Johann asked caringly.
"It's alright. It's just my usual lower back pain. I got this. Thank you." Luca rejected Johann politely with a slightly awkward smile on her face.
Luca did not expect she would be so careless in front of Johann and make him realize that something was wrong with her.
"Although you have some medical skills and know your health condition well, some conditions need to be treated as soon as possible," Johann advised her. He could not say anything since Luca insisted that she did not need a check-up.
"I know that. Thank you." Luca thanked Johann politely. Although what he said did make sense, she could not let anyone check her wound.
Half an hour later, Jason walked out of the ward after he finished reporting to Luke. He was surprised to see Johann and Luca standing outside the door. "Dr. Park, you're here too."
"Yes. I came to check on your boss' condition." Johann smiled and replied, "Oh, please try your best to reduce his workload. He can't be too tired now."
Jason let out a sigh and shook his head helplessly. "I know, but I can't make the decision for him when it comes to certain work matters."
Luke was different from the bosses of other companies. He was very particular about doing things on his own if they were important.
However, it was just because of that that T Corporation was growing better under his leadership.
Furthermore, companies as big as T Corporation were usually family businesses. There would be a few family members managing the company together.
Currently, the Crawford family only had Luke and Louis.
Luke, who was the eldest son and Louis' elder brother, shouldered Louis' share of the responsibility after finding out that Louis had his own dreams.
Luke did not care about what others said about how he fought with his brother for the family business and that he was an imperious person.
Only those who were by Luke's side knew that Luke made that decision not because he wanted to gain the upper hand in the family. Instead, he was protecting Louis and allowing Louis to have his own space and time to pursue his dreams.
Louis used to be playful back then. Luke once forced Louis to work in T Corporation to make sure that he would not get out of touch with society. Now, Louis was no longer playful, and he began to focus on his career. Luke let Louis go and gave him enough capital to let him pursue his dreams. T Corporation would welcome him back anytime.
That was why in other families, a few members would help out in managing the company, but Luke was all alone.
Everything in the company would eventually fall on Luke's shoulders no matter how much his subordinates helped him.
Johann shrugged his shoulders and sighed. “I was lucky enough to become a doctor. Otherwise, I would've ended up like him too."novelbin
Luke sat on the bed and heard Johann gloating over his misfortune. He reminded Johann, "You're no better than I am after becoming a doctor."
Johann walked into the ward and looked at the man who was stuck on the bed with a leg cast. Luke was already in bed, yet his attitude was the same. "At least a doctor gets to have a holiday. And it's interesting to meet different kinds of people every day."
"But you're still single," Luke retorted mercilessly.
Johann was left speechless. Well, he met different kinds of people every day, but he was not interested in those people.
That was why he was still single...
"And you can't even have a good night's sleep when you're on duty," Luke continued.
Luca, who was listening to their conversation, could not help but smile. Luke never used to talk much, but his words were always hard-hitting whenever he said something mean.
It was just like Johann's situation now.
"I didn't get any rest last night because of you. Let me measure your blood pressure." Johann picked up the blood pressure monitor beside Luke brusquely, and he was about to wrap the cuff around Luke's arm.
Luke watched Johann's gestures and reminded him coldly. "My blood pressure is normal."
"I can see that you're behaving unusually today. You're talking too much. Is there a blood clot in your brain that's pinching your nerves? Why don't I continue to work overtime tonight to get you on the operating table and take a look at your brain?" Johann looked at Luke resentfully. He was annoyed for getting snubbed twice. Johann hated it!
Luke looked up, glanced at Johann calmly, and said, "Sure."
Johann thought Luke would at least say something and squabble with him. He did not expect Luke to end the conversation between them with just a word.
Johann looked at Luca pathetically. How could her man be so naughty?
This way, he would be the one acting childishly in the eyes of others.
Johann wrapped the cuff on Luke's arm and began to measure his blood pressure. Then, he picked up the infrared thermometer and pointed it at Luke's forehead to measure his body temperature.
After that, Johann recorded the data on Luke's medical record.
Luca glanced at the data. The results were normal, so Luke should be fine.
Luke watched Johann keep the medical record properly. He noticed that Johann did not seem to have the intention of leaving. He asked, “Is there anything else you need to check?" "No. You seem pretty good now. I'm just wondering if I was wrong about the CT scan," Johann mentioned it deliberately.
Luke could sense the threat in Johann's voice. Was Johann planning to tell Luca that there was actually no bleeding in Luke's brain?
Luke was not afraid. After all, it was Johann and Percy who lied to Luca. Even if Luca got mad, she had no reason to be mad at him. Besides, his right leg was broken now. There was no way she would leave him alone.
"Then you'll have to take a good look at it. Perhaps it was a misdiagnosis," Luke replied, and he tried to drive Johann crazy again. "But you're a medical expert and an experienced doctor. How could you have made such mistakes?"
Johann shook his head and patted the cast on his leg twice, saying, "Of course, I wouldn't. So, that leads to only one explanation—you have good physical abilities."
Luke nodded.
Johann was even more annoyed. He still could not win the argument after everything he had said!
Johann had no choice but to turn around and look at Luca. He said, "Dr. Craw, come to my office to look for me if you need anything. Oh yes, it doesn't matter if I've gotten off work. I'll come back here if you give me a call. I have to leave now."
After that, Johann turned around and left.
Luke's face darkened a little when he heard those ambiguous words. Were Luca and Johann that close?
Why did the two of them seem to share a secret?
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Luke asked.
Luca shook her head and returned to the sofa. "Mr. Crawford, I'm fine."
"What is he talking about?" Luke asked.
Luca simply found an excuse to explain it to him, "I talked to Dr. Park while we were waiting outside the door. We talked about a type of disease and he told me that he has some information on it."
Luke sneered in a low voice. It seemed like Luca was more interested in medical knowledge after she returned.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1905-Luke thought that he would have to start learning some medical knowledge after he finished his work.
After all, he needed to have more topics to talk about with Luca.
Luca sat on the sofa and continued to translate the documents. The wound on her waist still hurt no matter how she sat.
It seemed like she had to look for a chance to return to the villa.
Luca was secretly thinking about it and looking for an opportunity. She waited until it was nighttime. Only then did she manage to get the chance to return to the villa.
The three kids followed the maid to the hospital when the maid came to deliver their dinner.
The kids were relieved when they saw Luca taking care of their father. She had not left without saying goodbye.
The three of them surrounded Luke's ward bed after they greeted Luca. They were looking at the man sitting on the bed.
Tommy was the first one to ask, “Daddy, what happened to you?"
Luke looked at his son and replied without trying to hide anything, "I got into a car accident."
"Daddy, why did you get into a car accident?" Tommy continued to ask.
Luke fell silent. He could not possibly tell Tommy that he went drinking and did not manage to dodge when he saw someone's car driving toward him, right?
How embarrassing...
After all, it was the alcohol that numbed his nerves, making him unable to respond as usual. He would have been able to avoid the motorcycle if he had been sober.
Tommy noticed that Luke did not answer him. He thought he would die of curiosity, so he asked again, "Daddy, can you tell me why?"
Luke remained silent as though he did not hear what his son was saying.
Lanie could not help but say, "Didn't Dr. Park tell us? Daddy drank too much. The alcohol affected the speed of his reflexes. That's why he was hit by a motorcycle. He banged his head on the floor and fractured his leg."
What Lanie said described Luke's accident perfectly.
Luke's face darkened as he felt a little embarrassed that the kids now knew what had happened to him.
Tommy nodded and carefully poked the cast on Luke's leg. "Daddy, does it hurt?"
"No," Luke replied with a gloomy face. He would probably have gone to teach Johann a lesson if he was able to walk.
Johann did it on purpose. The only reason Johann told the kids so much about the incident was to embarrass Luke in front of his children.
Johann had been harboring a grievance against Luke after he was provoked by him. That was why the kids knew so much.
"Daddy, that's impossible. It hurt a lot when I fell and injured my knee back then." Tommy poked the cast again while observing Luke's expression. There were no changes other than the gloomy expression on his face. Then, Tommy added, "Daddy, don't drink too much next time. Dr. Park told us that old people shouldn't be drinking so much."
"Where's Johann?" Luke clenched his fists.
"Dr. Park has gotten off work." Tommy smiled and said, "We ran into him downstairs just now. He told us everything. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know you're badly injured."
"Badly injured?" Luke narrowed his eyes and glanced at Luca. The corner of her lips was slightly curling up. What the kids were saying must be amusing her...
"Yes. Dr. Park also told us that you have to sit in a wheelchair even after you get out of the hospital.." Tommy added.
"It's just for a while. I can walk after the cast is removed." Luke corrected his son as he was worried that Johann had misled him. It was to prevent Tommy from telling the others that his Daddy would have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Luke only got hit by a motorcycle. He was not even close to being a cripple.
"I see. Daddy, is it fun to sit in a wheelchair?" Tommy continued to speak. The little boy who was still worried about Luke's condition a moment ago had set aside his concern once he saw Luke's condition for himself. Then, he started to ask questions curiously.
"It's not fun at all," Luke answered patiently. He would have grabbed Tommy and kicked him out of the ward if he were not his son.
However, Tommy was Luke and Luca's son, so he had to bear with it!
Besides, Luca was here too. Back then, she never supported educating children by punishing them. She would always be upset for a long time when she saw any news about strict parents educating their children by abusing them and leaving injuries on them.
Tommy nodded, and he lectured Luke like an adult, "Daddy, you should drink less next time if it's not fun to sit in a wheelchair. Don't do that again. I was worried sick when I woke up and didn't see you and Ms. Luca at home. The maid didn't say anything to us either."
Luke felt that his status in the family had suddenly crumbled with his youngest son lecturing him. Luke cleared his throat and said, "It was an accident. In the meantime, all of you should move back to Crawford Manor first."
The maid had her own family to take care of too. She could not possibly stay at the mansion every day to look after the kids.
Luca had to take care of him in the hospital, so she could not go back either.
"Alright, Daddy."
The three of them replied in unison, knowing that their daddy could not go home because of his condition, while their mommy would have to take care of their daddy. That was why no one objected.
Luca was overwhelmed with mixed emotions when she saw how sensible the kids were.
Rainie was focused on the cast on Luke's leg. At last, she asked carefully, "Daddy, can we write or draw on this? I saw people on TV drawing on casts like this.”
"No." Luke pulled a straight face and rejected her.
"Ah, why?" Tommy was disappointed. He was excited when he heard his sister mention drawing on the cast.
Luke replied, "I have to meet other people, and I'll have to talk about business. How am I going to meet them if you draw on the cast?"
Lanie said, "Daddy, I'm sure you'll wear long pants after you're discharged from the hospital. The others won't be able to see it."
Luke fell silent. He did not expect that it would be so hard to fool his eldest son.
Luca looked at the kids. They seemed eager to draw on Luke's leg cast.
Luke had always left an impression of a strict father on the kids. It was difficult for them to find a chance to be spoiled and ask to do something like drawing on his cast. They must be looking forward to it.
Hence, Luca could not help but speak up for the children, "Mr. Crawford, let them draw if they want to. I remember that the kids are pretty good at drawing."
Luke turned to look at Luca. He became soft-hearted when Luca spoke for the children. He could never turn her down.
"Daddy, we're a family. Let us draw on your cast. Those uncles and aunties won't laugh at you because you have three cute and lovely children as well as Ms. Luca..." Tommy acted cutely and mentioned Luca's name.
"Yes. Daddy, I'd like to write down some wishes for you," Rainie said gently.
Rainie resembled Bianca a lot. Luke became even more soft-hearted when Rainie was whining. He asked, "Do you have colored pencils with you?"
"I do." Tommy raised his hand. "I had a coloring class today. That's why I brought colored pencils with me!"
Then, Tommy took a set of 24 colored pencils out of his bag.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1906-Luke's eyes darkened when he saw those colored pencils.
This little brat must have done it on purpose, right? It looked like there was no way he could escape from getting his cast drawn on by the kids today.
Luke watched helplessly as the kids started to draw on his cast.
Even Lanie, who had always been calm and mature, picked up a black-colored pencil and wrote on his cast: [Get well soon, Daddy.]
Luke looked at his children. There was a trace of affection amidst the look of helplessness in his eyes.
Although Luke was strict with his kids, he truly loved them from the bottom of his heart.
Luca stood beside and watched the kids draw on Luke's cast. Although the kids were still young, their drawings were pretty good as they had been exposed to different kinds of hobbies for such a long time.
The drawings on the cast were not messy. The kids had filled the white cast with innocent and colorful drawings.
It was stunning.
It was just like beautiful scenery during spring.
Luca watched them for quite some time. Then, the wound on her waist was hurting again, reminding her that she needed to take the medicine and dress the wound. Otherwise, the wound would be inflamed.
She had to return to the villa to get the medicine.
Luca asked Luke after she decided to go back, “Mr. Crawford, I'd like to go back home to get some of my things since the maid is here now. It won't take long. Half an hour will do."
Luke nodded. He knew she was not looking for an excuse to leave. That was why he gave her permission to do so. "Alright. Zander is waiting downstairs. Ask him to send you back."
Zander was the one who sent the maid and the kids here. He was still waiting in the parking lot downstairs.
"It's alright. I drove here. There's no need to trouble Zander." Luca put on her jacket, picked up her phone and keys, then left the ward.
Lanie watched Luca leave from behind, then he turned around and looked at Luke. “Daddy, aren't you afraid that Ms. Luca will never return once she leaves?"
Luke stroked his son's head and replied, "She's not like that."
Luca came to the parking lot. She left after she found where her car was.
Luca's wound hurt even when she was driving.
It was painful...
Luca wondered why the wound that was about to recover would suddenly hurt a lot.
She endured the pain and drove back to the villa. Then, she walked into her bedroom and opened the drawer, looking for the medicine.
Luca was not in a hurry to leave. She treated her wound first, then dressed it. After that, she took some painkillers and antibiotics. It took a while before she felt the pain reducing. Only then did she pack the supplies and medicine she needed so that she could bring them along with her.
She immediately headed to the hospital without any delay.
Tommy came over to hold Luca's hand the moment she returned to Luke's ward. He was excited to show her their drawings on Luke's cast.
Luca smiled and praised them when she saw the colorful drawings and the children's wishes on the cast. “How beautiful!"
"Ms. Luca, you think the drawings are nice too, right? Daddy says they're bad. He's a liar!" Tommy complained while pouting his mouth.
Luca looked at Luke. He looked disdainful, and she thought he was behaving like that because he had become a drawing board for the kids.
Luca stroked Tommy's head and glanced at the time. Then, she reminded them, "It's late. It's time to go home. You're running late for dinner." novelbin
She had to remind the kids that dinner time was fixed at Crawford Manor. She knew that, which was why she reminded them.
"Alright. Ms. Luca, Daddy, we'll come to visit again tomorrow." Tommy turned around and said to Luke. He did not insist on staying here.
When they were on the way to the hospital, his elder brother and sister had told him that Daddy and Ms. Luca had been very busy lately. They had to be more understanding and stop thinking about sticking around Daddy and Ms. Luca.
The ward became quiet again once the kids had left.
Luke looked down and stared at the colorful cast. He asked, "Can I wash it off?"
Luca blinked and looked at him, "Mr. Crawford?"
"Can this be washed off?" Luke asked.
"I'm afraid not. It's hard to wash the colors off once they're on the cast," Luca replied honestly. Besides, it was not the time to wash them off now. It would take up to a month before he could remove the cast.
Luke picked up the folder and continued to read the documents.
"I've already informed Mr. Doyle to get you a few loose-fitting pants. You can wear those to cover up the cast when you're discharged," said Luca. She knew Luke was not concerned about the kids' drawings, but it would affect his aura if his cast was so colorful.
Luca understood him. That was why she mentioned it to Jason when she was on the way back here.
"You asked him to get those for me?" Luke frowned.
Luca looked at him in surprise. “Is there something wrong?"
“I don't wear clothes prepared by another man." Luke was disgusted at the thought of this. He thought personal items like clothes and shoes should not be prepared by another man.
Moreover, he was not in an urgent situation now. Why did Luca ask Jason to prepare these for him?
Luca could do this herself.
“You mean—" Luca seemed to understand what he meant, but she was not certain.
Besides, she refused to make the decision herself and prepare the clothes for him.
Luke could not help but sigh when he heard her asking. Luca understood what he had in mind, yet she still behaved as such. “I don't trust Mr. Doyle's taste when it comes to picking my outfits. I'll leave this to you."
"Ah, okay." Luca nodded her head stiffly.
“Do you know my size?" Luke asked that question intentionally. Luca should know it as she was the one who prepared all his clothes for him back then, including those tailor-made outfits.
Of course, Luca knew it. Luke's body had not changed, hence his size would not have changed either.
“I don't." Luca bit the bullet and lied to him in his face.
When he looked at her lying to him without any changes in her expression, it reminded Luke of how she used to blush for the whole day after she whispered sweet nothings in his ear. She could lie to him in his face without any changes in her expression now.
"My clothes are in the villa. You can go there and take a look." Luke's voice sounded stiff now.
"Alright, Mr. Crawford." Luca nodded. Then, she put the bag that she was carrying into the cabinet prepared for the patient's caretaker.
“What did you take when you returned to the villa?" Luke asked again.
"Just some skincare products that I use daily," answered Luca. She glanced at the time after she kept her items. It was late. Luke had to take a shower...
Luke was a neat freak. There was no way he would skip taking a shower, but.
Luca was in an awkward situation now. She was not Bianca now. Would this man be comfortable being naked in front of her?
Luca thought it would be inappropriate even if Luke was willing. She was not shy, but it was unsuitable for her to do so.
Luca cleared her throat and asked, “Mr. Crawford, would you like to take a shower today?"
“Yes, of course." Luke closed the folder and glanced at the time. It was time for him to get cleaned up. “Get ready."
“Get ready? I think it'll be inappropriate for me to do this. Why don't I look for a nurse to help you? Perhaps a male caretaker will be fine." Luca asked. It was indeed unsuitable for her to do so.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1907-"There's no need to." Luke's face darkened. Did she think her identity had changed just because she came back with a different appearance? Had she forgotten that they were a couple?
She must have seen every part of his body, right?
Luca shut her mouth when she noticed Luke's expression. She did not say another word.
Luke said with a stiff voice, "Get a new wheelchair in here."
"Okay." Luca trotted out of the ward and went to the nurses' station to ask for a new wheelchair.
It was the VIP ward, so the patients here were definitely wealthy and respectable. That was why they provided enough equipment.
After a while, Luca got another new wheelchair from the nurse. Keith happened to come out from the ward when she passed by Tyrone's ward.
Keith could not help but mock Luca when he saw her pushing the wheelchair. "Well, your boss is kind of troublesome. You even have to push the wheelchair for him. It would be much better for you to come look after my cousin. He's in bed now. And that saves you a lot of trouble."
Luca rolled her eyes at Keith and ignored him. She pushed the wheelchair into Luke's ward and closed the door immediately. Then, she pulled the curtains to stop people from peeking in out of curiosity.
Luke gave her another order when he saw her pushing the wheelchair in, "Move this table away."
Luca nodded and moved the table that was blocking him away. She knew Luke was planning to get off the bed when he requested a wheelchair.
Luke did not feel uncomfortable even though he had only been sitting on the bed the whole afternoon. Luca knew he could climb off the bed, which was why she did not stop him.
She put down the railing of the bed after she moved the table away.
Luke slowly climbed out of the bed. He was not used to the cast on his right leg, so his gestures were a little clumsy.
Luca waited until he had moved both of his legs to the bedside before pushing the wheelchair toward him. "Mr. Crawford, I'll help you up later to get you to sit in the wheelchair, is that alright?"
"Alright," replied Luke. If it had not been for the cast, he would not have ended up in such a state.
Luca looked at Luke, who was in his hospital robe. She took a deep breath, reached out her arms, and put her arms around his waist.
The hospital was warm enough, so the hospital robe was not that thick. Luca could feel Luke's body temperature when she put her arms around his waist like this.
He felt warm, and there was a hint of static electricity on his body.
Luca wanted to withdraw her arms. However, Luke was already standing with one foot on the floor. The man would definitely fall on the bed if she withdrew her hands now.
Luca blushed while she helped Luke get into the wheelchair. She stopped the wheelchair from moving backward with one of her legs.
It took a lot of effort to put Luke into the wheelchair properly.
However, Luke was thinking about how happy he would be if they were able to hug each other like this all the time.
Luke sat in the wheelchair and cleared his throat. He was not just distracted for a short moment just now. He even seemed to have lost himself.
"Take me to the bathroom," Luke ordered.
Luca's face was still red. She quietly stood behind Luke so that he would not notice her blushing face. She quickly pushed the wheelchair to the bathroom when she heard him.
“Push me in. Leave the rest to me. There's no need to trouble you,” said Luke.
Luca nodded. She pushed down forcefully to lift the back wheels of the wheelchair up into the air. Then, she pushed Luke into the bathroom.
Even though Luke told her she did not have to help him, she prepared a small tub for the face and a towel for him. Then, she took the showerhead down for Luke.
Finally, she took another hospital robe given by the nurse and hung it on the clothes hook beside him.
"Mr. Crawford, try not to wet the cast," Luca reminded him with a soft voice.
"I know." After that, Luke lifted his head and glanced at Luca. Her face was red. It seemed like she had feelings for him too but just refused to admit it.
"Your face is red." Luke exposed her.
"It's probably because of the warm temperature here," Luca replied. She glanced at the things she had prepared for him and made sure that everything was prepared. She left the bathroom right away like she was running away from something. "Mr. Crawford, I'll be outside the door. Just call me if you need anything."
"Will you come in if I call you?" Luke maneuvered the wheelchair and turned around to look at her.
Luca's face turned redder, then she immediately closed the door.
Luke smiled as he watched the door close. He was amused at making Luca blush.
Luca stood not far away from the door of the bathroom. She was worried that Luke might face some difficulties when washing himself up. She dared not to move too far away.
Luca was lost in thought while she stared at the closed bathroom door. Would she dash into the bathroom if anything happened to Luke?
Luca would still rush into the bathroom even though she knew it was inappropriate to do so. After all, she would not be able to stop herself from feeling worried about him.
Luca's heart still belonged to Luke even though she could not acknowledge him.
Luca looked outside the window. Judging from the temperature out there, it would be snowing soon.
It had been three years since she was able to spend the first snowfall in winter with her loved ones. She looked down, feeling upset at the thought of spending her fourth year like that too.
Half an hour later, Luke's voice came out from the bathroom. "I'm done."
The door was not locked from the inside. Luca opened the door carefully, only to find that Luke had already put on the clean hospital robe. He sat in the wheelchair, looking at her.
There were water stains all around.
Luca thought that it must have been difficult for Luke as he was not used to showering while sitting in a wheelchair. That was why he looked like he was in a fluster.
Well, at least he managed to clean himself up.
Luca pushed the wheelchair and got Luke back into the ward. However, she did not use the method from earlier to help him. Instead, she held her hand out and said, "Mr. Crawford, can you climb up the bed?"
Luke looked at her with his deep eyes. Was she afraid of touching him again because of what had happened just now?
Luke glanced at the time. Then, he grabbed her hand and stood up with one foot. He could feel how careful she was being. A wicked idea came across Luke's mind. He pretended to stagger and fall on her.
Luca was fast. She immediately put her arms around him without considering the distance she should be keeping from him.
Luke took advantage of the situation to take Luca into his arms. His fiery palm held her waist. Luca exclaimed in surprise when she felt the warmth. She could not help but lean forward.
Luke did not expect Luca to lose her balance. His body was leaning backward too.
He suddenly fell onto the bed with Luca on top of him.
Luke cried out when his leg was pinned down. Then, he looked at Luca, who was leaning on his chest.
Although it hurt a little, his hand was holding Luca's waist tightly, and he refused to let her go.
Luca lifted her head and looked at Luke's chiseled jaw. Her heart was racing uncontrollably.
There was zero distance between them now.
It seemed like their clothes could not stop the warmth from spreading to each other. She could hear her heart pounding in her ears, and her body was on fire.
"Mr. Crawford, are you alright?" Luca recalled Luke had cried out in pain just now.
"I'm fine." Luke's hand was still on her waist.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1908-However, Luke's hands were clutching tightly onto her waist.
'He did it on purpose...'
Luca pursed her lips. Accidents could easily occur at such a distance. Her throat was burning, and it took her great effort to speak. "Let go of me, Mr. Crawford. I have to get up. Only then can you."
As she was speaking, she was trying to free herself from Luke's hands.
Even though he was not willing to let her go, Luke ultimately still did. He did not want to push her too hard and have her keep a bigger distance from him.
After all, Luca had made great improvements in other skills throughout the years. Her instinct to escape had gotten better as well.
She belonged to him. Even if he had to be patient, he had to have her.
Luke let go of her, and Luca felt the grip around her waist loosen. She let out a breath of relief. She placed her hands on the bed and used them to support her as she attempted to get up.
At that moment, the door was pushed open.
Johann came in and saw Luca on top of Luke's body. He shrieked in an exaggerated tone, "Oh my, I'm sorry! Am I interfering in you two's activity?"
Luca heard Johann's words, and her face went scarlet as she immediately got up. She took a deep breath and looked at Johann, who had turned his back to them. Feeling helpless, she explained, "Dr. Park. I accidentally tripped over and it was Mr. Crawford who held onto me. It's not like what you think."
Johann did not turn around and just waved his hand behind him as he said, "I got it. Do you guys want to continue? Why don't I leave first?"
"Dr. Park!" Luca could hear a teasing tone in his words. She became shy and felt helpless. "I've already stood up."
Johann slowly turned around, and seeing that both their clothes were tidy, he cleared his throat and winked at Luke who was slowly sitting up. "I'm so sorry, buddy. I didn't know you were in the midst of it."
"Dr. Park!' Luca's face became even redder when she heard Johann's teasing tone.
Johann knew Luca was shy and did not tease her anymore. He waved his hands and said seriously, "Alright, I'll get down to business. Have you experienced any discomfort since this afternoon?”
"Nope." Luke sat on the bed and lifted his leg that was in a cast.
Johann's eyes glittered when he looked at the drawings on the cast. He went forward to examine it. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Those three kids of yours are quite good at drawing Just look at these colorful colors. It's so nice to look at."
Luke picked up the blanket from the side and immediately covered it.
Johann saw that Luke's complexion looked dark. He put away the smile on his face and continued talking about the serious matter at hand, “If you don't experience any discomfort tomorrow, do you want to be discharged?"
"He's able to be discharged so soon?" Luca was astonished. She thought that Luke would still have to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation.
Johann nodded and thought back to the lie he told Luca. He slowly twisted his words, saying, "Even though there's some bleeding, his condition isn't too serious overall. Tomorrow, we'll do another CT
brain scan. And if there's nothing wrong, he may go home and recuperate. The most important thing is that he's no longer bleeding and there's no serious problem. The hospital is facing a shortage of wards, so we have to free some up."
"Free some wards?" Luke squinted his eyes. He wanted to stay in the ward and continue to enjoy Luca's care.
"Yes. We have to free a ward for a politician. He has an appointment for an operation. Hence, the director of the hospital asked me to come over to discuss this with you. After all, out of all the patients on this floor, you're the patient with the least serious condition," Johann explained helplessly. He could figure that Luke was enjoying Luca's care.
However, it would not be easy to fool the director. If he personally came here to talk with Luke, it would be troublesome if Luke found out Johann was deceiving him.
Hence, Johann rushed back to the hospital even though it was late at night.
Luke did not say a word and just stared at him with a cold gaze.
Johann felt a chilly sensation coursing through him and looked at Luca. He had no choice but to say, "Dr. Craw, even though Mr. Crawford can be discharged, he'll still need someone to look after him. So, for the next few days, I'll have to trouble you to look after him. After all, he's still facing mobility issues, which makes it rather inconvenient for him to do things."
"I got it," Luca promised. Looking at Luke's current appearance made her suspicious, though.
'Isn't he supposed to be happy to be able to be discharged? Why is his expression still so dark?'
After all, it was not convenient for him to handle his work in the hospital. She also recalled that Luke disliked being in the hospital...
Johann clapped his hands. Luca had promised to look after Luke. In that case, there should not be a problem. This was the best outcome. He continued to say, "Then I shall not disturb you two from doing. your work. I'll take my leave. Oh right, don't work too late tonight. You're still a patient, after all." Luke silently pulled up the railing of the hospital bed.
Luca looked at Johann leaving the ward and closing the door behind him. She then looked at Luke. The moment she saw him taking the documents from the bedside table, she immediately got the hint and shifted the table toward him.
Luke looked at her, sighed, and said, "Don't go, Luca."
Luca immediately stopped her actions. She lowered her eyes, and her little fingers were still grabbing the edges of the bedside table. She was feeling uneasy. "Mr. Crawford."
"What I said earlier is the truth. I really like you, but if you can't accept it, just forget what I said. If you leave, the kids and I will be very sad. They've all taken you as an important part of our family. I feel the same too." "Now's not the time to be saying all these, Mr. Crawford. You have to rest well." Luca let go of her hands and placed his laptop on the table. "Rest assured, I won't leave your side before you've recovered."
Luke looked at her lowering her eyes. Her flushed expression from being shy earlier was no longer there.
It seemed as if the scene from earlier was just an illusion.
There were always some words that could make her instantly snap back to her senses, such as words about him liking her.
After Luca placed the laptop on his desk, she spun around and walked to the sofa. She sat down and continued to translate her documents.
It was as if everything that occurred earlier did not happen.
The ward was dead silent with only the sound of documents being flipped and typing on keyboards.
On the other hand.
In Crawford Manor.
After Old Master Crawford had his meal, he brought his three great-grandchildren to the study.
The three kids sat obediently on mahogany chairs. There were thick cushions on top of the chairs because of the cold weather, and there were tassels on them. Tommy, who loved to play, could not hold back and used his fingers to twirl the tassels. He played with them while asking, "What gossip do you want to know, Great-grandpa?"
Old Master Crawford looked at him while touching his beard. "You little brat. Why are talking like an old man?"
"Well, I learned it from you." Tommy smiled and jumped down from the red chair. Tommy walked to his side and sat on his lap. "Great-grandpa, do you wish to know what's going on between Daddy and Ms. Luca?"
"Yes. Can you tell me about it?" Old Master Crawford pinched Tommy's round face and asked.
"Great-grandpa, I think you should ask Daddy yourself. We don't know the details," said Tommy with a smile.
"What? You guys don't know the details?" Old Master Crawford frowned. 'The kids are living with them. Here I thought they knew everything.'
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1909-The three kids all looked at Old Master Crawford and shook their heads.
Luke had never told them the whole story. All they knew was that if this incident was not handled well, their mother would have to leave them again.
They did not wish for Luca to leave.
"What's going on with Luke?" Old Master Crawford was troubled. It had been so long, yet Luke had yet to succeed. He could not accept the slow progress.
"Great-grandpa, Daddy doesn't have a choice either," Rainie said. Their mother had changed ever since she returned, but she still treated them well. It was just that nothing could sway her, so their father was left with no choice as well.
"I'll go over tomorrow to know what's going on.” Old Master Crawford had made up his mind. Since his grandchild was not making fast enough progress, he had no choice but to personally head over.
"Great-grandpa, ours and Daddy's happiness will all depend on you. We want our family to reunite as soon as possible," said Tommy with a smile. He believed things would be much easier to handle with their great-grandfather advising their father.
Susan was standing at the door of the study. She had her ears glued to the door to listen to what was happening inside. Hearing that Luke was trying to win over Luca's heart made her have a dark expression.
'They want to make Luca join the Crawford family?'
It had taken her great effort to get rid of Bianca so that there was one less person to fight over the inheritance. However, from the current looks of it, Luca would be joining the fight?
She would never allow such a thing to happen.
Susan wanted to record the conversation between Old Master Crawford and the kids so she could hand it to Queenie. She wanted to let Queenie know about the Crawford family's intentions.
However, she was separated from them by a wall. Coupled with the good soundproofing, she could not hear properly and could only get the gist of the conversation. Hence, she could not record it with her phone.
She placed her phone against the door, thinking it might record the conversation much clearer.
She wanted to make Luke lose the authority to rule over T Corporation. To do that, she would have to get rid of the people around him. For starters, she would have to get rid of Jack's support.
If she could let Queenie hear the conversation about Old Master Crawford expressing his support to have Luke win over Luca, that would be the end for Luke.
Old Master Crawford nodded. "I won't rush it, then. I'll just head over tomorrow and see how it goes." After the discussion, the kids left the study.
As Susan wanted to get more information from them, she did not have time to react and ended up bumping into the three kids.
"Why are you standing here, Grandma Susan?" Lanie saw Susan holding her phone against the door and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Susan pretended to look at her phone and said casually, “I'm here to look for Old Master Crawford. Is he inside?"
"Great-grandpa is inside," said Lanie. He pushed the door open and said to Old Master Crawford, who was inside, "Great-grandpa, Grandma Susan is here for you."
Susan stared at him with resentment in her heart.
Luke and his kids were all stumbling blocks keeping her away from gaining all of the Crawford family's inheritance.
Old Master Crawford's voice was heard from inside, "Come in."
Since he had already spoken, Susan had no choice but to enter. She snorted and walked in.
Lanie pulled on his siblings' hands and walked back to their playroom.
Rainie closed the room door and muttered softly, "Brother, was Grandma Susan eavesdropping earlier?"
"Yes." The first thing Lanie saw when he opened the door was her odd posture. Besides, from the way she was holding onto the phone, it was definitely possible that she had been trying to record their conversation.
"Why did Grandma Susan want to eavesdrop..." Rainie blinked her eyes. The things they were talking about were not secrets.
Tommy was flipping through a picture book on the side and answered her question, "That's because Grandma Susan doesn't like us."
Rainie looked at her younger brother. She knew since she was younger that Susan disliked them. However, because of their father and Old Master Crawford, Susan could not do anything to them despite disliking them.
After all, it was Old Master Crawford who had the final say in the family.
"Grandma Susan wants to take our father out." Lanie took out a book about the universe and touched his chin. His expression when he was deep in thought was just like Luke's. "Do you think we should inform Daddy?"
"We should tell him. Otherwise, something bad might happen. That's going to be worse," Rainie said.
They were all especially mature because they had been living in the Crawford family for a very long time. Furthermore, Luke was always busy, and Bianca was not by their side when they were younger.
Lanie nodded and looked at Tommy. "Tommy, you'll be the one to tell Daddy."
"Alright, Brother." Tommy took out his phone and typed a message to Luke, telling him about Susan eavesdropping on their conversation with Old Master Crawford. Then, he sent the message.
In the study.
After Old Master Crawford saw Susan entering the study, he put on a cold expression and asked, "Is there you need to talk to me about?" "It's nothing much, Dad. I'm just concerned about how is Luke doing. Do we need to get him some supplements?" Susan could not think of anything important to discuss with the old master and ended up asking about Luke's condition. novelbin
Old Master Crawford had a cold expression and said, "What could've happened to Luke? He's just suffering from a minor bone fracture. If you're really concerned about him, why don't you look after the three kids on his behalf? After all, the kids are now staying here. They need love and concern."
"Hehe, I wish to do so too, Dad. But those kids haven't liked me since they were little. Besides, it's already so exhausting to look after Thea for Louis. Where will I have the energy to look after Luke's three kids? If he thinks we can't manage to look after them, why don't we hire a servant?" Susan said.
She had long ago complained about the lack of maids in the manor. Whenever her friends came over to have fun or for afternoon tea, she was not able to show them a grand display.
Among all big families, the Crawford family was the one spending the least amount of money on servants. The number of servants they had did not match the Crawford family's fame and status.
"We have enough servants in the manor. Just spit out if you don't want to take care of the kids," Old Master Crawford lectured with a cold expression.
Susan's face went scarlet as she said in an aggrieved tone, "I'm not saying I'm unwilling to do it. But there are really too many kids. Besides, we don't have enough servants. All of them are Allison's biological grandchildren too. Now, she's enjoying her life abroad and leaving me all alone to look after the kids. How can I cope?"
"Back when she went abroad to receive treatment, weren't you the happiest person?" Old Master Crawford questioned.
Susan was speechless. "Alright, forget it. Dad, I'll leave now if there's nothing else. I won't disturb you from admiring your antiques."
She looked at the antiques that were placed on the table by Old Master Crawford and felt depressed. He had the cash to purchase antiques, but he was not willing to hire a few more servants. How would their family keep up with their image, then?
Old Master Crawford shook his head helplessly when he saw Susan making her way out of the study.
Even though Allison was gone, Susan was still around to cause havoc in the family.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1910-The next morning, Luke was pushed by the nurse to undergo a check-up. As usual, Luca did not follow.
She sat in the ward and waited for Luke to return from his check-up. If there was nothing wrong, she could proceed with the discharge procedures and Luke would be able to return home to recuperate.
It would be much better to recuperate at home than in the hospital.
Besides, there would be a maid in the villa to help out. If anything were to happen, things would not be too chaotic for her.
Luca sat on the sofa and waited quietly.
She was able to hear even the slightest sounds from the corridor outside because the door was not closed.
"Hurry, this patient has suddenly developed arrhythmia and hypoxia. Hurry and notify the doctor. Get the ventilator ready." A nurse's voice was heard. Luca got up and looked out the door.
She saw a nurse sticking her head out from a VIP ward that was diagonally opposite the ward Luca was in. The nurse was shouting.
Luca got anxious as the patient in that ward was the man who was seriously injured by Jean.
She quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
The nurse knew Luca was not a doctor. Hence, she ignored Luca and waved at another nurse who was pushing the trolley with the resuscitation equipment. "Hurry and notify Dr. Park."
Luca knew it was a critical situation, so they could not be bothered to entertain her. Hence, Luca stood aside and did not give them any trouble while they were trying to resuscitate the patient.
She took out her phone and gave Nina a call.
The call was connected, and Nina's lazy voice was heard from the other end of the call. It sounded like she had just woken up. "Hey, Luca? What's wrong?"
"The man that your brother injured has developed arrhythmia. They're currently resuscitating him," Luca informed Nina.
Nina woke up instantly. "What? Is he in a critical situation?"
Luca had seen the nurse pushing the trolley with the resuscitation trolley in but did not see the condition the patient was in. However, just by watching the scene, it seemed the patient was in a pretty critical state. "I don't know what's going on inside there, but I'm guessing it's pretty serious. You should hurry and make a trip to the hospital."
"Alright. I'll go over there now." Nina could not bother less about Percy who was changing his clothes in the cloakroom and rushed in. She casually grabbed a change of clothes. As she was changing, she tapped into the loudspeaker mode and said to Luca, "Luca, please, you must save that guy."
If he passed away, Jean would be imprisoned regardless of how much money they were willing to pay.
Luca could hear the chaos in the ward but was unable to see what was going on as the curtains were drawn. She said helplessly, "I have no right to conduct any medical procedures. But rest assured, they've already notified Dr. Park."
As soon as she said this, a nurse ran into the ward. "Damn it! It wasn't Dr. Park who was on call last night. Hence, he's currently not in the hospital."
"Who's on-call at the cardiac surgery department, then? Also, which doctor is on duty on our floor? Call them here. We're just nurses. We don't know much," the other nurse asked.
"I've already notified them, but they're all downstairs. They'll need a few more minutes to come up here.” The nurses were all stunned at what was currently happening.
Currently, it was the hour when the doctors and nurses were changing shifts. Never would they expect the patient to encounter a problem at this critical moment. Not only were the doctors unable to rush over in time, but there was also a lack of nurses.
Nina could hear the nurses' conversation and felt her body go weak. She had to support herself against the wall. "Luca, what should we do?"
"I'll call Dr. Park. You just have to rush here." After Luca said that, she ended the call and immediately called Johann.
Johann picked up the call and had already predicted that Luca was calling him regarding Tyrone. He asked, "What's the situation right now, Dr. Craw?"
"I have no idea, but there's no doctor here. Regarding the patient's condition, judging from the monitoring sounds, it seems that he's not in good shape," Luca answered helplessly after seeing Aunt Jenny getting chased out for attempting to rescue the patient.
She looked into the ward but could not see a thing.
"Haven't they managed to contact any other doctors?" Johann frowned.
"No. I think it's because they're changing shifts at this moment." Luca guessed. After all, this was a VIP ward. Logically speaking, there should always be an emergency physician on shift here.
"Dr. Craw, do you know anything about cardiology?" Johann was driving and saw the terrible traffic. Even if the road was clear and he rushed to the scene, he still would not make it.
"What are you suggesting..." Luca suddenly had a bad feeling. Was he planning to make her...
Although Shanks had taught her a lot of things and she had undergone practical training, she did not have the license to practice medicine.
She had professional knowledge, but she did not have the license to practice medicine. Hence, she could only help others strengthen their bodies but could not actually practice medicine. novelbin
After all, she could only treat those who were on the Island of Despair because they were excluded from the law and organization of the society.
"I'll now grant you the right to treat that patient." Johann revealed his idea. When in crucial times, he was able to grant others the right to practice medicine on behalf of the director of the hospital.
"No, Dr. Park. You know as well that I don't have-" Before Luca was able to reject, she was cut short by Johann. "I know you don't have the license to practice medicine, but this is a very critical situation now. The patient inside is related to Nina and Jean. Even if you're not bothered about whether Jean is alive or dead, what about Nina? If that patient in there passes away, Jean will have to be sent to prison following the laws in the country. You know as well what will Jean's imprisonment mean for Nina. Dr. Craw, if you go in there and help treat the patient, you'll at least be able to get him one more minute of survival. The decision is up to you..."
Luca listened to the sound of the monitoring equipment inside. She was indeed not bothered about Jean's life or death.
However, she could not turn a blind eye to Nina's future. If Jean was imprisoned, Anna would surely hate Nina.
Luca said through gritted teeth, "I'll put the call on loudspeaker. You can explain the situation to the people inside."
After speaking, she turned on the loudspeaker mode and rushed into the ward.
The nurses saw that it was not a doctor from the hospital who entered and asked suspiciously, "Why did you come in? We're now in the middle of resuscitating the patient. Please go out."
"You can listen for yourselves." Luca casually placed the phone on the side of the bed and stared hard at the monitor.
Johann's voice was heard from the phone. "I'm Dr. Park. I'm giving Dr. Craw the right to carry out an emergency rescue on the patient. I'll handle the paperwork for this when I'm back at the hospital later. For now, just follow Dr. Craw's instructions."
The nurses looked at each other, terrified. Luca could not be bothered to explain further and immediately ordered, "Give me the stethoscope."
A nurse picked up the stethoscope that was available and handed it to Luca.
Luca held onto it and listened to Tyrone's heart carefully while observing his expression.
The patient was having arrhythmia, and his blood pressure was dropping. His lips had turned purplish- blue as well. She placed her fingers over Tyrone's pulse and noticed his pulse was rapid.
