Ch. 1941..1950
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1941-Luca looked in the direction where Luke pointed when he lifted his head and noticed the chair placed in a corner.
She went over and sat on that chair.
Luke stared at her and frowned. 'Is she trying to make me angry on purpose?
'The distance between us is more than three meters...'
Luke said, "if you're going to sit so far away, how are you going to help me with the documents?"
Luca blinked her eyes and got his hint. She immediately got up. She moved the chair to the side of the office table. After placing it down gently, she then sat on it again.
Luke was satisfied as the distance between them was now less than a meter.
"Mr. Crawford, I don't have experience dealing with documents.” Luca looked at the huge stack of documents on the table and spoke. It was not that she lacked the experience but it was that she was afraid she might not handle the task well as it had been quite some time since she last handled documents.
"It's very easy. All you have to do is compare these documents." Luke took out two sets of folders and placed them in front of her. Instantly, she knew what she had to do.
This task was not tough. Luca nodded and opened a folder to start working on it.
Both of them started focusing on the documents in front of them.
After two hours, Luke said, "It's getting late. You should head upstairs to get some rest."
Luca lifted her head and looked at him, surprised. Before she could speak, the folder in her hand was snatched away. "I can continue to work on it for a while more, Mr. Crawford.”
"Go get some rest," said Luke. He did not actually need her help to settle the documents. He just wanted to seize the chance to be together with her.
Luca saw him not lifting his head and urging her to get some rest. She had no choice but to get up. She placed the chair back in its original spot before leaving.
Luke watched as Luca left, his eyes glittering darkly.
Luca returned upstairs and did not immediately call it a night. She went to the study and took out the analysis report.
She frowned when she read the report. All she was sure of was that the drug Abel had laced the blade with contained a microorganism, but she was not familiar with the name. This required further investigation.
However, it was getting late...
Luca placed the test tube down, and after storing it in a cool environment, she left the study. She headed to the bedroom, planning to brush her teeth before sleeping.
Luke sat in the wheelchair and watched the monitor. He saw Luca coming out from the study and heading back to her bedroom. She showed no intention of entering his bedroom.
'Could it be that she's really not interested in this project?
'If she really isn't interested, I can be sure that Luca has nothing to do with the incident involving Dr. Albus.'
The next day, when Luca got out of bed and came downstairs, she noticed Gale was standing in the hall.
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Craw." Gale waved to Luca politely.
Luca nodded as she knew Gale. However, that was when she was still Bianca. Hence, she did not show too much familiarity. "Hi, are you here for Mr. Crawford?"
"Yes." Gale nodded. Luke had just woken up and was brushing his teeth. Hence, he waited outside.
Luca initially wanted to ask whether Gale showed up here so early because he had found out something. However, after giving it some thought, she decided not to ask.
There were some things that she should not ask as it would make others suspicious.
She did not say anything more and headed to the kitchen.
Gale looked at her back figure and frowned slightly. Even if one changed one's appearance, one would not be able to change one's temperament.
Besides, after all these years, her figure had not changed much. It was just that she had gotten slimmer. Despite wearing such a thick layer of clothes, he could still make out that her figure was much better than before. He even got to know that her abilities had improved. It could be possible that she had undergone training, which was why she looked fitter now.
Not only did her looks change but her figure as well.
"You're here?" Luke's voice was heard coming from the side.
Gale retrieved his gaze and turned around to look at the man in the wheelchair. He seemed to be in a foul mood.
'Did he see me looking at Luca?'
Gale had been working under Luke for so many years. Naturally, he knew about Luke's possessiveness over Luca.
"I got new information, Mr. Crawford," Gale said.
Luke maneuvered the wheelchair and turned around. "Let's go in and talk."
Gale saw this and walked forward to help push the wheelchair into the room.
The maid saw them walking into the room to talk about serious matters and did not continue standing in the living room. She went to the kitchen. She quickly stepped forward when she noticed that Luca was already preparing breakfast. She asked, "Ms. Luca, do you know who that guy is?"
"No idea. I think he's Mr. Crawford's subordinate." Luca was whisking the eggs, not interested in this topic.
"I think they're talking about something very important." The maid labeled dates on the ingredients that she bought today, then put them in the fridge.
"Maybe." Luca lowered her eyes and started the gas stove to heat the pan.
She planned to fry a few eggs for breakfast, and eggs fried over fire tasted the best.
The maid did not say another word after noticing that Luca was not interested in the topic.
In the maid's room, Luke looked at Gale with a sharp gaze. “What did you find?"
Gale was already used to Luke being so serious. "I've checked all the accounts of everyone in Watson Biopharmaceuticals, including Dr. Craw. I did manage to find out something."
"You found something abnormal?" Luke frowned.
"Yes, it's Dr. Albus' account. Recently, he asked someone from a bank in Switzerland to help him open an account. On the same day itself, a sum of money was transferred into his account. This is the document relating to the transfer of money and opening of account." Gale placed the information in his hand on the table.
Luke opened it and looked at it. Then, he asked, "What about the information of the sender?"
"The person who transferred money used a local account, but the holder's identity is foreign. It's a sweater company. I've looked into it, and I can be sure that this company is a shell company. The person used a very advanced method, and this professional method of transferring money prevents us from being able to get any information about their identity. It seems that this person did not only have their eye on Dr. Albus' research but they also intentionally purchased his research to go against T Corporation." Gale made a guess.
Luke nodded and kept going through the information given to him by Gale. He kept quiet for half a minute before saying, "For now, don't tell anyone about this. Continue investigating the person who sent the money."
"Alright. But Mr. Crawford, why haven't you made a public announcement and mete out punishment for Dr. Albus after learning that he has betrayed the company?" Gale asked.
"Something fishy is going on," Luke said. "Besides, our opponent has a clear motive. I'm not announcing it because I don't want him to get a better opportunity in the future."
"But if that's the case, the other projects under T Corporation might be leaked..." Gale shared his anxious thoughts. It was obvious that someone was plotting a scheme against T Corporation. If Luke did not take any action now, perhaps other employees in T Corporation would betray them for profits.
Besides, the company was currently handling a huge project. If anyone were to leak the information for this project, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I know what to do." Luke placed one of his hands over the other and gently tapped the table.
He knew someone was hiding in the shadows to go against him, and naturally, he would not just sit idly by.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1942-Gale was only in charge of investigating. He was not the one who had the final say on things, so Gale did not say anything more.
Luke closed the documents and placed them in the drawer.
"Have you had breakfast?" he asked.
Gale was surprised yet delighted. 'For the first time, my boss is kind enough to be concerned about me and asked whether I've had breakfast!'
"I've not eaten." He came over early in the morning just to report the information he had found to Luke. Hence, he had not eaten his breakfast.
"Stay for breakfast, then." Luke maneuvered his wheelchair and headed out.
"Alright, Mr. Crawford," Gale promised. He had heard in the past that Luca was very good at cooking. She had entered the kitchen today, so she was definitely preparing breakfast. He did not expect there would come a day for him to try the breakfast prepared by Luca.
Luke suddenly stopped and turned around to look at him.
"Yes, Mr. Crawford?" Gale touched his face. He did not say anything and wondered why would Luke suddenly look at him with a stern look.
"Stop looking at Luca with that weird gaze of yours." After Luke said that, he then maneuvered the wheelchair out of the room.
Gale suddenly came to an understanding. It seemed he was unhappy about him staring at Luca.
It was just because he was inwardly comparing the former Bianca to the current Luca. Besides, even if he did have any ulterior motives for Luca, it was to challenge her to a fight.
He had heard that her agility was very impressive.
However, whether or not he would win the match, just the fact that a man took on a woman was not something to be proud of. That was why Gale merely thought about it.
The maid placed the breakfast prepared by Luca on the table. Seeing Luke come out, she greeted him with a smile, "Sir, breakfast is ready."
"Alright." Luke looked at the cutleries placed on the dining table. There were four sets. It seemed that Luca had predicted that Gale would join as well.
Luca brought the bread out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table. She saw Luke and Gale. She said softly, "Breakfast is ready. You guys may tuck in now."
Luke nodded and came to the side of the dining table.
Gale had just been warned. He lowered his head and dared not look at Luca in case his boss became suspicious again. If that happened, he would not live a peaceful life.
Luke looked at Gale, who was standing beside him like an electric pole. He whispered, "Why are you standing there? Sit down."
Gale replied and chose to sit beside him.
Luca and the maid served the remaining breakfast. She prepared a lot because she had anticipated there would be a guest, hence she made sure to be hospitable.
Gale looked at the table full of Western cuisine and silently lamented about how blissful Luke's life was.
His wife was so good at cooking. It was awesome!
Luca looked at the seats. It would seem inappropriate if she were to sit beside Gale, so she chose to sit on the other side of Luke.
"What do you want to eat, Mr. Crawford? I'll get it for you," she said.
"No need. I'll get it myself." Like stretched his hand and took the bread that was nearest to him. Then, he got himself a fried egg.
Luca saw the scene and took a bowl of oats, placing it before him.
Luke disliked eating sweet food. Hence, she had made savory oats.
Gale took a slice of bread and ate silently. He felt sorry looking at them both. Even though they had yet to acknowledge each other, they were still thinking about one another.
It was no wonder that after so many years and despite Luke being pestered by crazy women in the past, Luke never once gave up on Luca.
If Gale had such a lover, he would not give up either—even if he learned that she might be a threat to him after her return.
Gale finished the slice of bread that he took and could not help but say, "This bread is delicious. Which bakery did you buy from?"
The maid explained, "All of these were personally made by Ms. Luca."
"She made everything herself? No wonder, the bread is so delicious and looks amazing. I thought you bought it from a shop outside," said Gale. The bread was nicely-shaped, and the size was consistent. One look and they looked like they were manufactured by a robot.
"You've misunderstood. The slices of bread were bought in the supermarket. Of course, the original flavor of the bread isn't this delicious. Ms. Luca added some seasonings to it and placed it back in the oven to bake it again. That's why the bread tastes so good," the maid explained.
Gale gave a thumbs up. No wonder it was so delicious!
If he had such delicious breakfasts every day, he would still like it even if he was served the same thing.
"You live such a happy life, Mr. Crawford," said Gale.
"Even with so much food here, it still can't shut your mouth?" Luke looked at him coldly.
Gale quickly shut his mouth.
The maid served him a bowl of oats. "Dear guest, please taste the oats. It's delicious too."
Gale took a sip and dared not say a word. He only showed Luca a thumbs up.
He finally understood why Jason had described her food to be heavenly.
If Rain knew that he was having a such delicious breakfast today, she would definitely be jealous.
After having breakfast, Gale did not stay back and left.
The maid cleaned up the dishes. Initially, Luca wanted to send Gale off, but she heard Luke say, "Don't bother. He'll leave and close the door himself."
Luca's footsteps came to a halt, and she stopped at the entrance.
Gale put on a wide smile. "Thanks for the hospitality, Dr. Craw. You don't have to send me off."
"Alright." Luca turned around and entered the house again.
Luke looked at her and asked, "Where's my medication?"
Only then did Luca remember that she had yet to prepare Luke's medication. She quickly said, "I'll go prepare your medicine for you right now."
"Send it to the bedroom." After Luke spoke, he maneuvered his wheelchair and entered the maid's room.
Luca walked into the kitchen and took out the cup that was exclusively Luke's. She was going to pour him a cup of water and adjust the temperature so that it was suitable for drinking.
The maid saw this and asked, "Are these the medications that Mr. Crawford needs to take?"
"Yes. I was busy preparing food and nearly forgot about this,” said Luca as she poured in equal parts cold water and hot boiling water.
If it were in the past, she would have already prepared a cup of hot boiling water while preparing breakfast and placed it aside. After having breakfast, the water would have already cooled down.
That day, she was too busy that she forgot about it.
She held the cup and felt that the temperature was just nice. It was slightly warm and would be just nice to drink it with the medications.
Luca held the cup of water and arrived in the living room. She took out Luke's medications, and after sorting the pills, she brought them and the cup of water into the maid's room.
Luke was already sitting in front of the office table. He was working.
Luca placed the medications and cup of water on the table while reminding him, "It's time to take your medicine, Mr. Crawford."
Luke lifted his head to look at her, then looked at the cup and medications. It was just like in the past. He did not blink his eyes and immediately stuffed the pills into his mouth and gulped a huge mouthful of water.
Luca saw this. Each time, she would think that since the medicine was so bitter, it would be better to just endure the bitterness once than twice.
Luke placed the cup down. Luca immediately took it and walked out.
After placing the cup back into the kitchen, Luca reminded the maid, "I'm going upstairs to work on some stuff. If Mr. Doyle is here later, can you please come upstairs to notify me?"
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1943-The maid was dedicated to her job. "Of course. That's no problem at all. When Mr. Doyle is here, I'll go up to inform you immediately."
"Thanks." After Luca thanked her, she left the kitchen and went upstairs. She did not return to the bedroom but went to the study.
When she got up today, she checked her wound and noticed that the inflammation was much worse than yesterday.
From the condition of her wound, she knew things were not looking optimistic. The medications she had with her had no effect on the wound. If she wanted the wound to heal, she would have to take action fast.
Otherwise, she could no longer hide her wound from others.
After Luca closed the door, she took the sample and continued with the research.
About half an hour later, the maid came and knocked on the door. "Are you inside, Ms. Luca?"
Luca massaged her temples and spoke toward the door, "I am. Is Mr. Doyle here already?"
"Yes, Ms. Luca," said the maid.
Luca got up and walked out of the study. The maid was waiting for her at the door.
*I got it. Let's go," she said and walked to her bedroom. She picked up the documents and headed downstairs.
Jason was still reporting his work progress to Luke in the maid's room.
As for Luca, she was standing in the living room, waiting for him.
About another half an hour passed. Only then did Jason carry a huge stack of documents out of the maid's room.
Luca noticed that his expression was dark.
She stepped forward and handed him the documents. "Mr. Doyle, these are the translated documents from yesterday. The translated information has already been sent."
"Dr. Craw, my hands are full now. You can just place them on top of this stack," said Jason.
Luca placed the documents on top.
"Then, I shall take my leave now." Jason saw that the documents were placed securely and were about to leave. The company's project was not put on hold just because Luke was injured. The project was at the final stages, and if everything went smoothly, they would be able to finalize the bidding document.
Hence, he was especially busy.
"What about the documents that I need to work on?" Luca reminded him.
"There's nothing for today. There are not many documents left that need to be translated. Alya can handle the rest by herself. That's why I didn't bring anything for you," Jason explained with a smile.
"Does it mean that the bidding document for the project is almost done, then?" Luca asked as she recalled helping Luke to work on some documents yesterday.
Even though those were not important documents, it did seem like things were at the final stage now.
"Yes," said Jason.
After a few months of busying themselves, the bidding document for the project was almost done. Luca became slightly emotional. Luke was indeed capable. Despite so many things happening along the
journey, he was still able to complete the bidding document successfully.
"If there's nothing else for me to work on, then I'll head back to work," said Luca, not forgetting about her main career. She was not a translator nor Luke's assistant but a researcher.
"Not for now, Craw. You can just stay here to look after Mr. Crawford," said Jason. She still had to look after Luke.
Luca was stunned, then she smiled helplessly and nodded.
Her career had actually turned into looking after Luke.
From the moment she returned, she had been with a motive and was selfish.
She did everything just to get closer to Luke.
She succeeded and became his employee. However, the distance between them was far from estranged. Instead, they were getting closer and closer to each other.
She first became a translator. Now, in everyone's opinion, she was someone who looked after Luke.
Jason saw Luca smile and did not think much about it. He carried the stack of documents and left.
"Go and help Mr. Doyle," Luca reminded the maid.
"Alright." The maid followed along and caught up to Jason's footsteps. She took the initiative to help him carry a few documents.
Luca looked at the maid's room but did not enter. Instead, she chose to head upstairs and continue with her research.
After the maid sent Jason off, she returned to the living room and saw Luke sitting in his wheelchair in the middle of the hall.
"Ddi Luca go out?" he asked.
"Nope. I think Ms. Luca is upstairs. For the past two days, she's always in the study whenever she has spare time. I wonder what's she researching?" the maid answered. Earlier when Luca opened the door, she noticed there were a few machines in the study.
Even though she did not know anything about those things, she knew that they were all items for research.
"Sir, do you need anything from Ms. Luca? Do you want me to call her down?" the maid asked again.
"No need. As long as she didn't leave," Luke said and maneuvered his wheelchair back to the maid's room.
The project was at its final stage, and he could not help but have a bad feeling about it.
'If Luca is really hiding her identity and trying to get close to me due to a mission, then once this project is done, she might have to leave regardless of whether she accomplishes her mission or not.'
All he could do now was investigate the organization controlling Luca behind the scenes. As for the other issues, he could not do anything about them.
Even if he wanted to make Luca stay, perhaps he might not be able to.
At noon, Luca came downstairs. When she was preparing lunch, the doorbell of the villa sounded.
She was slicing the meat and looked at the maid beside her, who was helping to wash the vegetables. She said, "My hands are greasy. Can you please go and see who's at the door?”
"Alright." The maid turned off the tap and walked to the hall.
Luca continued to slice the meat. After half a minute, the maid came in with a troubled look. "Ms. Luca, I think it's best if you go and have a look at things? I don't know how should I handle this. Mr. Crawford has ordered that if there's nothing urgent, then I shouldn't go in and disturb him when he's working."
"What's wrong?" Looking at the maid's expression made Luca stop her actions of slicing the
meat. She immediately washed her hands.
"There are two men outside saying that they want to meet Mr. Crawford. Judging from their appearances, one of them is older than the other. Since Mr. Crawford didn't mention that people would be coming over, I asked for their names and their reason for wanting to meet Mr. Crawford. They said they were the ones involved in the car accident and are here to apologize to Mr. Crawford. In this kind of situation, I think it's best not to let them in. I asked them to return for now, but they insist on meeting Mr. Crawford. If they don't see him, they'll keep waiting at the door," said the maid.
The people involved in the accident?
"I think it's best to have the police handle it. Why would they come here?" Luca frowned. As Luke was injured, he was also a victim. Logically speaking, those youngsters were indeed the ones who should be blamed.
There was nothing suspicious in this incident, so they should just let the police handle it. After Luke gave his statement, no one had come to bother him.
Besides, Jason had settled everything that had to do with the accident.
Why did these people suddenly show up?
"I'll go and have a look," said Luca as she left the kitchen and arrived in the living room. She activated the video function at the door and saw the two people the maid had mentioned. They were still standing at the entrance, waiting.
She did not say a word and had turned off the speaker.
She did not inform Luke about it immediately but called Jason instead. "Mr. Doyle, are you free right now?"
"Yes. What's wrong, Dr. Craw?" Jason asked
"Regarding the car accident that Mr. Crawford was involved in, has the verdict been made?" Luca asked. Even though the police had not said a word, according to the standard procedures, these people should be the ones bearing all responsibility. After all, they had driven under the influence and even injured someone.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1944-"The matter is already done, and Mr. Crawford made me the person in charge of this. The verdict has always been with me, but I just haven't handed it in.” Jason was wondering why Luca would ask him such a question, but he still answered in detail.
"Is the other party taking full responsibility for it?" Luca asked.
"Yes. Even though there were a few of them who were dangerously driving under the influence, only one person knocked into Mr. Crawford. Hence, the others were punished to go through reeducation, while the one who knocked into Mr. Crawford will have to take full responsibility,” said Jason in detail.
"Alright, got it." Luca thought for a moment. Take full responsibility? Under normal circumstances, all they had to do was give some money.
As for the rest who also drove under the influence, they would just have to undergo reeducation, but that would not take long. Why were these two people here, then?
"Dr. Craw, did something happen? Why are you asking about this?" Jason said, concerned.
"Yeah. Two people are now standing at the entrance of the villa, wanting to come in and see Mr. Crawford," said Luca. She look at the video interface, and they were still standing outside.
It was very cold outside. Looking at the expressions of the father and son who were standing in the cold wind in their coats, she frowned a little.
"How do they know Mr. Crawford's address?" Jason was shocked. Under usual circumstances, the police would keep the victim's address confidential. If the other party wanted to visit the victim, they would only be able to receive news from the hospital the victim was admitted to.
Luke had stayed in the ward for almost two days but they did not visit him. Jason even thought that they would not come.
Never would he expect them to come to the house.
"He is Luke, after all." Luca squinted her eyes. "Let's not talk about this. Mr. Doyle, if you're free, can you please take a photo of the verdict and send it to me?"
It was inappropriate to have them both stand outside the villa for long. Hence, Luca decided to inform Luke.
"Alright. Coincidentally, the verdict is in the office. I'll go take a photo of it for you now," Jason said.
After Luca hung up the call, the maid also looked at the video and asked, "Ms. Luca, what should we do now?"
Luca said, "I'll go inform Mr. Crawford."
The maid saw her entering the maid's room and did not stop her. That was because Luke had forbidden her from disturbing him, but he had not said anything about Luca.
She knew it too that Luke usually went easy on Luca.
The maid's room was always locked because Luke needed to work in a very quiet environment. Luca knocked on the door first, and after she heard Luke asking her to enter, she pushed the door open.
"Are you free right now, Mr. Crawford?" Luca asked.
It was rare for her to look for him on her initiative.
"What's wrong?" Luke turned the wheelchair around and looked at her.
Luca said, "The person who's involved in the car accident is now standing outside of the villa with his father. They said they want to meet you."
Luke frowned, his face darkening. "Why are they here?"
He did not directly say it, but Luca still knew what he meant and explained, "You're a public figure, so it's pretty easy to know where you live."
Even though Luke was not a singer or actor, his influence was greater than many people in the entertainment industry.
As such, it was not a hard thing to find out where he stayed.
Luke kept quiet for a few seconds. "Ask them to leave."
"It seems like they really have to meet you. They said if they can't meet you, they'll just continue to stand outside," Luca said.
Luke frowned deeper. This was a high-end villa area. They could not enter if no one permitted them.
However, it would be bad to let them keep standing outside. Even if the security guards chased them away, they would probably not go far away. Many celebrities stayed here, and they took their privacy seriously. If they saw these two people standing here, they would definitely file a complaint. At the end of the day, the security guards would ask to see him instead.
"Have them come in," Luke said.
Luca nodded and turned around to head over to the living room. She came to the front of the video doorbell and looked at both of them who were standing outside. She asked the maid, "Can I trouble you to head over and ask them in?"
These two people came here for the first time, and they had mysterious identities. It would be best if they did not wander elsewhere. This was to minimize trouble.
"Did Mr. Crawford agree to it?" the maid asked with a smile, but she was not surprised at all. As long as it was Luca who talked to him, Luke would basically just nod his head and agree to it.
"Yeah."
The maid nodded and agreed. "Alright, I'll go over now."
As she was speaking, she put on her coat and went out.
Luca thought that they must be very cold when they entered. Hence, she entered the kitchen and prepared them some tea and snacks.
Even if they were not honorable people, she still had to be hospitable.
There were some snacks in the cabinet that the maid had previously bought to serve guests. Luca took some out and prepared tea. She plated everything on the coffee table in the living room.
She looked around, then went to prepare some fruit.
After 15 minutes, the maid invited them in. Luca looked at the father and son. They were each holding onto two big bags of supplements. She then said without changing her expression, "Please have a seat."
The middle-aged man looked at Luca and felt that she had an extraordinary aura. She did not seem like a maid in the house. 'If she's not the maid, is she the wife?'
However, before coming over, he had gone through Luke's information in detail. He indeed had a wife, but this woman looked different from the photo he had seen.
The middle-aged man thought to himself, ‘Upper class men often engage in ambiguous relationships. It's best if I keep my mouth shut.' "Thank you. May I know where Mr. Crawford is?"
"He'll be out soon," Luca said and walked into the maid's room.
The middle-aged man noticed that she referred to Luke as Mr. Crawford. 'It seems she might be his private secretary.'
His son had knocked into Mr. Crawford, resulting in a leg injury. Due to this, Mr. Crawford was now recuperating in his house. However, such a busy man like himself probably would not just leave his work aside. His secretary was probably here to help him out with work. That made sense.
Luca came into the maid's room and reminded, "Mr. Crawford, they're in the living room."
"Got it." Luke signed the bottom of the document, then placed the documents and pen down. He said, "Push me out."
Luca nodded and went behind him to push the wheelchair out of the room.
The moment Luke showed up in the living room, the middle-aged man immediately got up and looked at his son. It seemed like his son had no intentions to get up. Hence, he pulled on his collar to remind the latter.
The young lad then got up as well.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford," Both father and son greeted Luke at the same time.
"Have a seat." Luke had a very cold expression.
Luca saw this. She knew that Luke was not friendly to anyone.
The maid, who was beside, looked at the tea and snacks prepared by Luca. She helped to pour three cups of tea and placed two of them in front of the guests while the other was placed in front of Luke.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1945-The father and son both took the teacups the maid placed in front of them and introduced themselves to Luke. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. I'm Saul Leo, and this is my terrible son, Yerik Leo. He's the one who caused your leg to be injured. We're here today to apologize to you."
Luca lowered her gaze and thought that she should not be standing there, but she could find any excuse to leave.
Luke's eyes were glistening as he looked at the father and son.
He thought that their attitudes were acceptable but unnecessary.
"I've already handed this matter to my lawyer to settle it. If you have any questions, you may contact Mr. Zac from the law firm in Kaston. He'll represent me and communicate with you," said Luke.
Saul's heart skipped a beat. He knew that things would not be settled so easily.
"Mr. Crawford, it's indeed my son's fault this time, and I won't run away from the responsibility. It's just that he's still in school, so we hope you'll give us a chance to settle this outside of court," he hinted with his words.
Luke did not lack money. Even if he chose to settle it personally, he would not be greedy and try to extort money like the others. Hence, he brought Yerik over to seize a chance.
If his plan succeeded, Yerik would not need to be punished.
Luke took out his phone and searched for Mr. Zac's number. He passed it to Luca. "Call Mr. Zac and ask him to come over."
Luca took it over, and at the same time, she recalled seeing the verdict earlier. There were a few words that indicated Yerik had broken the law. He was driving under the influence, and the alcohol percentage
detected in his system had exceeded the limit.
If Luke insisted on settling it in court, Yerik would be done for. He might even be sentenced.
"Alright, Mr. Crawford." Luca took the phone and saw that Luke had clicked into Mr. Zac's contact info.
However, what left her astonished was that Luke decided to contact Mr. Zac instead of chasing them away after getting to know their motives.
Saul heard this and immediately asked, "Mr. Crawford, do you agree to settle it outside court?"
Seeing his delighted look made Luke reply with an expressionless look, "No, I just want Mr. Zac to come here and tell you about the legal procedures in detail."
it was out of Saul's expectation that no matter how he pleaded, Luke did not plan on going easy on them.
Even though Luke managed to make Luca stay back because of this incident, he was not thankful for it. After all, he had faced so many embarrassing situations because of his leg injury.
It was not convenient going to work in a wheelchair.
"Mr. Crawford, can you please not contact Mr. Zac for now?" Saul knew things were not going to be easy to settle after listening to what Luke said.
'He's not lacking anything. What should I do to make him agree?'
Luca heard it and did not insist.
Saul suddenly got up and kneeled on the floor. "Mr. Crawford, I'm begging you. Please forgive him. Kids should be punished for their mistakes, but if we take this to court, that'll be the end of it for him. He won't be able to complete his studies."
Yerik did not expect his father to kneel in front of Luke. At that moment, he got anxious.
The school knew that he had driven under the influence and crashed into someone. If he was imprisoned, the school would expel him because they would not tolerate students who defamed the school's name.
Hence, after Saul sought all ways to bail him out, he immediately bought some gifts and came to Luke to beg for forgiveness.
"Dad..." Yerik was young and proud. He could not understand why his father was kneeling.
"You unfilial son, why are you standing there dumbfounded? Do you wish to be imprisoned? Hurry and get down on your knees. Beg Mr. Crawford for forgiveness." Saul immediately pulled Yerik down to kneel.
Yerik was forced to kneel.
Luca had seen this scene countless times.
Saul really loved his son. He was scolding his son in front of Luke, but he must really love him.
Pampering one's children excessively might cause them to lose their direction. Besides, Yerik had broken the law.
Even though Yerik was kneeling, it was clear from his young features that he was dissatisfied. He definitely could not understand why Saul would do this.
After all, he was a youngster. Besides, judging from his branded clothes as well as the expensive supplements placed on the table, Luca guessed that their family was somewhat wealthy.
Otherwise, Yerik would not end up in such a state.
"Get up. It's useless no matter how long you kneel." Luke did not change his mind just because they kneeled.
Yerik heard it and got furious. "Dad, why are you kneeling when he's not willing to accept your gesture? Get up!"
He got up first and forcefully pulled Saul up.
Saul looked disappointed. He had asked the lawyer. Even though Luke did not have serious injuries, it was possible that he would be sentenced to a few years of imprisonment for drunk driving and causing harm to others.
Besides, the legal department in A City was very fair. They were famous for doing things according to the law. If he wanted Yerik to overcome this, he had to get on Luke's good side.
As long as Luke agreed to say that he was drunk at the time and accidentally crashed into Yerik, there would be a slim chance.
"What do you know? All this is your fault. It's only reasonable for you to kneel here!” Saul knew his son was dissatisfied. He blamed himself for always pampering him. He would always settle all the troubles he caused by bribing the other party. Hence, his son thought he could do anything as his family was rich.
He even caused such huge trouble this time.
Yerik was still unwilling to kneel, and his eyes gleamed with fury as he stared at Luke.
"Mr. Crawford, he doesn't know anything. If he doesn't kneel, I'll kneel on his behalf. I'll kneel here until you forgive him." Saul did not wish for his only son to be imprisoned.
"No matter how long you kneel, it's none of my concern. It's not going to be helpful in this issue. This young man will need to be educated. Inform Mr. Zac, and in the meantime, report this to the police," Luke said to Luca.
"Alright." Luca nodded and picked up Luke's phone, wanting to inform Mr. Zac first.
Yerik said furiously when he heard that Luke wanted to lodge a police report, "Hey, Crawford, I dare you to do that!"
"Why wouldn't I when you're causing havoc in my house?" As Luke was sitting in a wheelchair, Yerik was looking down at him from above. However, in terms of aura, Luke did not lose.
"I'm going to be imprisoned anyway, so I might as well take you out before I go!” Yerik rolled his sleeves up and was about to swing a punch at Luke's face.
There were no security guards in the villa except for the two weak women. With Luke sitting in the wheelchair, he definitely would not be a match for Yerik.
He had long been angry with him.
Saul heard what his son said but could not get up to stop him in time. He was so scared that his face went pale when he saw Yerik about to punch Luke's face.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1946-Yerik's expression was ferocious and excited as he punched with all his might.
His punch aimed right at Luke's face. Would Luke still dare to be so proud after this?
Luca had a dark look as she saw the punch that was nearing Luke's face. She was quick to react and grabbed onto Yerik's wrist. His punch came to a halt 20 centimeters away from Luke's face.
Yerik was stunned, and his eyes looked at Luca with a fierce gaze. Before he had the time to attack, he let out a yelp. “Ouch, let go!"
Saul got up and looked at Luca's slim fingers that were grabbing Yerik's wrist. Her fingers could not even completely go around Yerik's wrist.
"What's... What's happening?" He looked at his son's pale face and knew he was not faking the pain.
However, those slim fingers did not seem like they were doing anything to hurt Yerik at all. Even so, she had managed to stop the punch.
Luca did not say a word, and Yerik was in great pain. He had no choice but to kneel and plead with her, "It hurts! Please, let go!"
"Are you going to hit him again?” she asked coldly.
"No, no." This was the greatest pain Yerik had ever experienced. He wanted to retrieve his hand, but Luca's grip remained firm.
He did not expect such a great woman to be by Luke's side!
Luca noticed he was in so much pain that his face had turned pale and red. She snorted coldly and shoved his hand away.
Yerik quickly clutched his wrist. There was just a slight redness with no marks on his skin.
If other people had grabbed his wrist so firmly, it would definitely have left marks on his skin. However, Luca grabbed his wrist and made him experience terrible pain but no marks were left on his skin.
Saul quickly held his son's arm and wanted to have a look at his injury. "Let me have a look. Where's the injury?"
He looked at Yerik's wrist, then looked at Yerik, astonished. "Are you really in pain?"
Yerik shoved his father's arm away and had a dark expression. That woman looked scrawny but had such huge strength. "I'm alright."
Saul looked at Luke and knew he was in the wrong, so he did not say anything.
"If you guys aren't going to leave, then I'll call the cops." Luca looked at Yerik's dark expression and gave one last warning.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford."
Even though she had just dealt with Yerik, his hand was not injured. Besides, it was Yerik who took action first. Saul was speechless. His son acted rashly, and this made the negotiation fail. He had no choice but to drag Yerik out of the villa.
Luke looked at the supplements on the coffee table and ordered the maid, "Give these items back to them. Make sure they leave the villa area before you come back."
"Alright, Mr. Crawford." The maid carried the two bags and rushed out.
Luca retrieved her gaze. Earlier, she had pressed the trigger point on Yerik's wrist, which was why he yelped in pain.
Luke's wheelchair was an electronic one, so he was able to control it himself. However, when the punch came swinging down on him, it did not seem like he had the intention of maneuvering the wheelchair to dodge it. Was it because he predicted that she would take action?
Luca lowered her gaze. novelbin
She could not help but ask, "Mr. Crawford, who's Saul Leo?"
She kept thinking about it and could not figure out which rich businessman had the surname Leo in A City. However, there were so many people in A City, and she had not been here for so many years. Hence, it was not surprising that she did not know the emerging wealthy families.
Luke looked outside the window. "Saul Leo struck the lottery two years ago and became rich. He's in the property industry now."
Luca came to an understanding. She had sensed that Yerik's aura did not match his clothes. It turned out that they had gotten rich overnight, so she understood why he had such an attitude.
He was in the wrong but was not even remorseful. He went as far as to try and hit others.
It seemed that his confidence did not only come from Saul pampering him. It also came from the fortune his family obtained from striking the lottery.
"So, did you decide to settle it according to the law?" Luca asked that for a reason.
From what she understood about Luke, if Luke wanted to settle it according to legal procedures, he would not have mentioned anything about the lawyer. He would have immediately gotten the security guards to chase them out.
However, he had mentioned the lawyer...
He also did not chase them out immediately.
Also, Saul was doing business in the property industry now. Despite not knowing how much he won from the lottery, it meant that Saul was still useful to him seeing as Luke did not act cruelly.
He was a man who would prioritize benefits above all else when it came to business.
"We'll see about that." Luke squinted his eyes. Saul might perhaps be useful to him, so he was not in a hurry to provoke him.
Even if he decided to settle it personally, there was still a long way to go before the court call, so he was not in a hurry.
Luca nodded and looked at the teacup in front of him. He did not drink it at all. She thought to herself, 'Thank God he still knows how to take care of himself and didn't drink the tea.'
"Are you going back to the bedroom to work on the documents?" she asked.
"Yes." Luke casually placed his hands on the wheelchair. If one were to ignore the wheelchair, he was sitting just like a rich man.
Luca pushed the wheelchair back to the maid's room.
After pushing him to the front of the office table, she took a step back. "Mr. Crawford, if there's nothing else, I'll head over to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
If it were not for the Leos, she would have almost finished preparing lunch by now.
"Off you go." Luke opened a new document.
After Luca left the maid's room, she walked to the kitchen and continued slicing the meat. After that, she washed the vegetables that the maid had only managed to wash halfway. When all the ingredients were prepared and she was about to start cooking, the maid returned.
She quickly walked into the kitchen and poured herself a cup of warm water to warm herself. She saw Luca preparing to cook and stepped forward. "Let me have a cup of water first, Ms. Luca. I'll be there in a moment to help you."
"No hurries. Go warm yourself first," said Luca. She knew that the maid had gone out to ensure that the Leos had really left. She did not even put on her coat and just carried the two bags of supplements before running out.
"Say, both of them are quite weird. Just look at the era we're in right now. They still knelt down and begged others. That younger man is even worse. He got mad when he was embarrassed and even wanted to pick a fight,” the maid could not help but complain. When she saw Yerik lifting his fist, she was so scared.
If Yerik really punched Luke, both the maid and Luca would have no idea how they should protect Luke.
"They think that just because they're rich, they can do anything they want. I'm guessing he must have done lots of bad deeds in the past, and each time, his father would just bribe the other party to settle the issue. Hence, his son became fearless," Luca explained and poured some olive oil into the hot pan.
She added only a little oil because Luke had to eat clean.
"No matter how rich they are, they won't be as rich as Mr. Crawford. If they really want to talk about wealth, Mr. Crawford's fortune is enough to crush theirs, right?” The maid made a guess as she was not familiar with the business world, but she knew Luke was capable.
"I have no idea." Luca smiled while frying the dishes as she recalled Luke's expression from earlier.
Even when Yerik's punch was about to land on his face, he still remained composed. The Leos were weird, but Luke was really weird today as well.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1947-Thinking back about the event earlier made the maid look at her with a gaze of admiration. "Ms. Luca, you're so awesome. When faced with someone like that, you could still grab his wrist and make him stop. You even made him shout in pain. How did you do that?"
Luca raised her hand. "There are lots of nerves in the wrist, and there are also a lot of trigger points."
"So that's how." The maid knew that Luca was good at traditional medicine and did not ask further.
When the dishes were almost ready, Luca's phone rang.
Luca wiped her hand and took the phone to have a look. She noticed it was from Nina.
She made a gesture, hinting to the maid to come over and put the dish onto a plate. Then, she answered Nina's call. "What's up, Nina?"
Nina's voice was heard from the other end of the call. "Luca, I heard from Mr. Doyle that you've completed your work for the project. Is that true?”
"Yes. I've completed my parts. What's the matter? Do you need anything?" Luca felt that Nina needed something, which was why she called her.
"Tyrone's sutures are getting removed today.” Nina hesitated for a few seconds and thought that she should ask Luca for help. Without her realizing it, seven days had passed and Tyrone would be going for the next step of treatment.
"It's already been seven days. Time does pass by very fast. It's already time for his sutures to be removed." Luca now knew that this call had to do with Tyrone.
"The doctor said that Tyrone isn't recovering well. The glass shard that pierced his brain has injured the nerve, so he'll have to undergo physiotherapy later on. I'm hoping to ask you for a favor," Nina pleaded.
The doctor said that stimulation of acupoints could greatly benefit Tyrone, so they wanted to try traditional medicine.
When it came to traditional medicine, Nina had more faith in Luca.
"Sure. I'll head over in the afternoon to see what's the issue. But I must make myself clear beforehand. I can't guarantee that this will be effective, so I'll plan it out according to the patient's situation. If traditional medicine has effects on the patient, then I'll continue to treat him. If it doesn't have much of an effect, I'll just you the truth frankly. At least that way, he won't have to suffer for naught." Luca made herself clear.
After all, even if it did not hurt badly when receiving treatment, it may still cause some damage to Tyrone.
Besides, she did not want to give false hope unless the treatment was absolutely effective.
"Alright, I'll wait for you at the hospital this afternoon. Thanks, Luca." Luca had agreed, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
After Luca ended the call, she looked at the maid.
She was arranging the cutleries.
Luke was picky about food and insisted that everything had to be perfect in terms of taste and appearance. Hence, even if it was just a casual meal, the maid was still serious about setting the cutleries.
Luca said, "I'm going out in the afternoon. If I'm home late, please go ahead and prepare dinner."
"No problem." The maid nodded and could not help but ask, "Where are you going?"
"To the hospital." Luca did not hide anything from her. She guessed that perhaps the maid wanted to know so she could report it to Luke. Hence, she did not keep it a secret.
"No wonder you were talking about treatments. Is your friend sick?" The maid was curious.
Luca shook her head. "Something came up and I have to head over to take a look."
"I see." The maid did not question Luca anymore.
After having lunch, Luca prepared Luke's medications and watched him take them. She did not tell him that she would be heading to the hospital.
Perhaps it was her illusion, Luke did not seem to like her getting involved with Tyrone.
Even though this was Nina's matter, Tyrone was also involved. Perhaps she might have to deal with shameless men like Keith and Larry if she interfered in this matter.
However, when Luke later realized she was not around, the maid would inform him of her whereabouts. Hence, it was fine that she did not tell him beforehand.
Luca changed her clothes and wrapped herself tightly. She left after ensuring that she would not be cold when she got out.
She drove the car given to her by Luke and came to the hospital.
Tyrone was still in the VIP ward.
After she rescued Tyrone that day, Luca had become famous on this floor. When she came to the nurses' station, the matron spoke to her warmly before she could even speak. “Ms. Luca, what brought you here? Are you here to look for a doctor?"
"I'm here to visit someone. It's Tyrone." Luca guessed that Nina had informed the nurses beforehand. "Oh, Tyrone. Someone is already visiting him. You may enter right away. He's still in the same ward," said the matron.
"Thanks." Luca went to the ward.
At that moment, Nina was standing in the corridor. Tyrone's brothers were here as well and were inside the ward. She was annoyed at them being so talkative. Hence, she came out to catch a breather while waiting for Luca.
"Nina," Luca called out.
Nina looked in her direction and revealed a smile on her face. "Luca, you're here so early!"
"The sun has been setting earlier these days, so I came earlier to take a look at this situation. That way, I can go back earlier too,” Luca explained while looking inside the ward. Both Keith and Larry were inside.
It was only normal for both of them to be here since it was the day the sutures would be removed.
"Why don't we wait out here for a while? I don't think they'll be inside talking too long," Nina suggested. Tyrone was still recovering. After ten minutes of talking, he would feel tired.
If the two men saw that Tyrone was worn out, they would leave the ward and not disturb him anymore.
"It's alright. let's go in. At least he's still a little energetic now," after Luca spoke, she entered the ward.
Keith saw that it was Luca who entered and had a weird expression. He had seen the expressionless look on her face when she was rescuing Tyrone and did not dare to treat her like a caretaker who knew nothing anymore.
However, Tyrone did not know who she was and asked while frowning, "Who are you? This is a VIP ward. Not everyone can enter."
Mrs. Hugh immediately said, "Tyrone, this is the person who rescued you when you had a heart issue previously."
"So, it's her? For real?" Naturally, Tyrone knew about it but did not expect that person to be the woman before him. She did not look like a doctor or a nurse at all. He then looked at Keith.
"It's her, Tyrone." Keith nodded.
"I heard from Nina that Mr. Hugh will be having his sutures removed. Later on, he'll have to undergo physiotherapy. Hence, I'm here to see is there anything that I can help," Luca explained.
"You? Do you have a letter of authorization this time?" Keith was dissatisfied. He felt that it was embarrassing to have a lady surpass him.
He thought that Luca was the same kind of person as him. He did not expect them to be so different.
"I'm the one who asked her to help this time. There won't be any letter of authorization," Nina came in and said. She felt helpless when facing the two rough men.
"If there isn't a letter of authorization, isn't that the same as taking my brother's life lightly? I don't agree to it." Keith rejected.
Tyrone frowned.
"Mr. Hugh's health is related to my family. Naturally, I won't take it lightly. Luca has a license for practicing traditional medicine. Besides, you were there the last time. It was her great medical skills that saved Mr. Hugh. Even the doctors on duty were amazed. Right now, he needs physiotherapy, so I
invited her here to help. If you reject her help, does it mean you guys prefer to have Mr. Hugh face mobility issues?” Nina said sternly.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1948-Keith was a little overwhelmed by Nina's accusation and uttered, "That's not what I mean. Don't spew nonsense."
"If you want Mr. Hugh to recover, let Luca give him an examination. If you need a letter of authorization, she can definitely get it given her ability. All she needs is some time. If we go down that route, it'll not only waste her time but also Mr. Hugh's." Nina was tough. After so many days, she realized that except for Mrs. Hugh, no one in this family truly cared about Tyrone.
They just wanted to take this opportunity to get some more money. Later on, they would claim that they should get a portion of it as they had helped Tyrone.
Therefore, they would not dare to hurt her for the sake of money, which was why she no longer agreed to all of their demands.
Keith was speechless as well. He was better than Nina when it came to swearing, but when it came to reasoning with others, his education level was not as high. His ability to debate logically was not comparable to her.
Larry said, "What if this woman kills my dear cousin?"
"I won't." Luca did not wait for Nina to step in and said in a neutral tone, "I have confidence in myself. I won't harm your brother."
Larry paused and looked at Mrs. Hugh. "Aunt Jenny, what do you think?"
Mrs. Hugh was not an opinionated woman. "How do I know what to do? I'll leave it for all of you to decide!"
Larry looked at Tyrone and said, "Brother, since you're still mentally able, you should decide for yourself since it's your body on the line."
Although he heard about Luca rescuing Tyrone, he still had no confidence in the woman in front of him. If he made the decision, he was worried that Luca would make a mistake and that would be on him.
Tyrone looked at Luca. When he was in distress, although he was physically uncomfortable and not entirely conscious, he was aware of the rescue process.
He had heard the woman's firm voice. When the doctor arrived and questioned her, she stood by her methods which were slightly different from others. novelbin
He did not know what she did, but he could feel his body feeling better after she treated him.
"Go for it," Tyrone said without hesitation for fear that Luca would leave the moment he hesitated.
Luca nodded and looked at Nina. "I want all of his inspection reports that were done in this period."
"We may require authorization from Dr. Park," Nina said. She then picked up the phone and called Johann.
"It's okay, I'll give the patient a simple examination while we wait," Luca said. She had a different method for examining patients.
She could obtain more information about the patient's body than others during manual examination.
Her skills, in the absence of machine-assisted inspection, were life-saving.
Luca looked at the family and frowned. "I need to examine him. Are you planning to stay and watch?"
"Are we not allowed to do so?" Keith said unhappily. He did not agree with letting this woman treat Tyrone. However, Tyrone was conscious now and there was no objection from other people. If he suddenly objected, it would seem as though he had ulterior motives.
He did have ulterior motives. If Tyrone did not recover well in the later stage, they would have more excuses to ask for more money. As such, their cut would be bigger.
"You can stay and watch if you want. Make sure you stand there and don't move. No matter what I do, don't move." Luca glanced at him coldly, her gaze full of warnings.
Larry also wanted more money, but he was not as outrageous as Keith.
"I don't understand anything. Of course, I'm not going to move." Keith could not help but stroke his arm. He just realized that Luca's gaze was especially cold.
Luca walked to the hospital bed and looked at Tyrone's complexion. It was not terrible. Compared to the last two days, his complexion was much rosier.
She carefully observed the wound on his head. It was healing well.
"Have you gotten out of bed since the stitches were removed?" Luca asked.
"Yes," Tyrone answered after about two seconds of delay.
It was too short for most people to notice, but Luca did. It seemed that the injury might have affected his auditory nerves or his ability to process language.
She continued to ask, "How do you find walking now?"
"My legs feel weak..." Tyrone was still slow to answer. After he finished speaking, Mrs. Hugh added, "His right foot drags a little on the floor. The doctor who checked on him said that it'll be much better after he goes through physical therapy."
Luca nodded. She did not ask Tyrone to get out of bed and walk to show her. Instead, she squeezed a little hand sanitizer from the bottle hanging on the wall. After she disinfected her hands, she used her
thumb to press down on some parts of Tyrone's face.
"Let me know if it hurts," Luca said while pressing down slowly.
Tyrone cooperated with her. When he felt uncomfortable, he told her. She would silently make a note of the locations.
Johann rushed over after receiving Nina's call. When he arrived, he saw Luca examining Tyrone.
"Is this an examination?" He walked over to Nina and asked softly.
Nina nodded and replied, "I don't understand what she's doing but yes, she's doing an examination."
"She's examining his acupoints. If you don't have access to any equipment, you can press on these spots to find out the damaged nerves and parts in the body," Johann said. The human body was complex. If they had access to equipment, they would not resort to methods as such.
He looked at Luca in admiration.
"Amazing, Dr. Park." Nina did not expect him to understand what Luca was doing.
"I'm not as good as Dr. Craw. The spots she's pressing are different from the distribution of acupoints in the human body that we learn in medical school. This is her unique examination method. I don't think she needs these reports." Johann raised a thick stack of reports in his hand.
Luca was not distracted by Johann's arrival. The examination took 20 minutes. After she was done, she sanitized her hands again.
Keith snorted coldly. He was dissatisfied with her behavior.
Luca ignored him and turned around to look at Johann.
"Dr. Craw, are you all done?" Johann asked.
"Mm. I'm not good. I was just taught differently from how you guys were taught. Are these the inspection reports?" Luca looked at what he was holding in his hand.
"Yeah. Since you've already examined him, do you still need these?" Johann asked.
"Yes. I have to go through these to make sure that I didn't make any mistakes." Luca joked even though she was confident in her diagnosis.
When Keith heard what Luca said, he immediately threw a fit. "I told you that this woman is no good. She has no confidence in her diagnosis! How can we expect her to treat Tyrone?!"
Luca looked up and stared at him coldly. She was not sure if he said that because he was reckless or if it was intentional. She was joking but he did not get it.
Seeing that no one took notice of what he said, Keith continued ranting, "Dr. Park, you won't hand my brother over to such a woman for treatment, will you? If something happens, will you take responsibility for it?"
"Shut up!" Johann told him to shut up impatiently. 'What a muddled twat.'
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1949-Keith immediately stopped talking. He widened his eyes and looked at Johann in disbelief.
'He's a doctor! How dare he yell at the patient's family?! I must file a complaint!'
Johann looked at him coldly and said, "Dr. Craw is just joking, yet you can't tell? All you've done is chatter non-stop. Do you want your cousin to get better?"
"How do I know whether she's joking or not? Besides, you're saying that she's joking but maybe she truly doesn't understand anything and is just acting in front of you!" Keith said in anger. 'How dare he accuse me of being ignorant?!'
He was not ignorant. He just did not believe that a woman who looked after people would be capable of curing Tyrone.
Johann felt a headache coming on. 'Why is he so hostile toward Luca?'
Many in the hospital wanted to get Luca's help. He once asked her for help on their behalf but she turned him down saying that she was not interested in practicing medicine. Luca would not be helping Tyrone if it were not for Nina.
"If you don't trust the doctor's capabilities, I would suggest you transfer Mr. Hugh to another hospital," Johann said blankly. 'This time, I have to defend Luca.'
'Transfer to another hospital?'
Keith's eyes widened. They were in the best hospital in A City and the country. If they transferred him to another hospital, he was uncertain if Tyrone could get better.
Larry frowned and realized that Johann was upset with Keith's line of questioning. He put a hand on Keith's shoulder and apologized to Johann, "Sorry, Dr. Park. My brother is too worried about Tyrone.
Don't be angry. We'll go with your suggestion."
Keith wanted to say something but did not dare to speak when he saw Larry staring at him.
Luca studied the report while they were discussing whether or not they trusted her capabilities.
The problems shown in the inspection reports were similar to the problems she found during her examination. However, some additional issues were not detected in the inspection report.
When they went silent, she looked up and handed the reports to Johann. "There are other problems besides those highlighted in the report."
"What are the problems?" Johann became interested. If that was the case, it was impressive that Luca could find problems that the machines could not.
Luca walked up to Tyrone and pointed out the issues. "Dr. Park, look. His facial nerves are also affected. Have a try if you don't believe me."
Johann frowned. "Tyrone, can you smile for us?"
Tyrone heard his command and tried his best to flash a smile.
Nevertheless, no matter how hard he tried, the corners of his mouth still could not turn into a smile. Instead, he squeezed out an expression that was uglier than a smile or a cry.
"Am I smiling?" he asked.
Mrs. Hugh was startled. She looked at Johann and asked, "Dr. Park, why is this happening?"
Nina also frowned. She did not expect that a glass shard would leave Tyrone with so many issues.
She wished that Jean was the one injured instead of an innocent man. She was so mad she wanted nothing more than for Jean to suffer this pain.
He had been clamoring in the detention center every day, screaming for her to get him out. Considering Tyrone's situation, she wanted Jean to be locked up.
No matter how much time passed, Tyrone would still have a long list of after-effects to deal with.
Although the doctor said that these could be improved with treatment, she was unsure how long it would take.
Johann looked at Tyrone's condition, which was indeed something they had not detected. He explained helplessly, "The glass shard that pierced his brain happened to have landed in the area that controls these nerves. The tissue area where the glass passed and stopped was, which is why he is as such. However, the human body can self-repair. It may take some time and physical therapy, but his situation will improve."
"My brother is still single. Is he really going to be okay?" Larry frowned and asked. If Tyrone's condition did not improve, he would probably be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
It was absurd that he let this happen to him because of a woman!
"He'll get better. He just has to stick with the treatment," Luca said while she made notes of Tyrone's condition with her phone.
Tyrone was sad. Although he could not see his expression just now, from their words, he knew that his condition was not optimistic.
"Will I be okay?"
"You'll get better," Luca said as she put the phone back in her pocket. She looked at Nina and asked her, "Do you want me to treat him?"
"Luca, it's best if you can help." Nina nodded in agreement. She trusted Luca and Johann with all her heart.
"We can go for dry needling, but my methods are not the same as traditional treatment. The effects will be better, though. I'm the only one who can do this," Luca explained with a frown.
Johann answered immediately, "I'll ask the dean to authorize you."
"It's not just about authorization. I also have other things to attend to. I can't be here for his sessions every time. How about this? Dr. Park, get a doctor that you trust to shadow me. I'll demonstrate for him what needs to be done, and he can treat Tyrone once he's mastered it," Luca said. She had yet to complete the tasks on hand, and Luke's project was about to be completed. She was unsure of what she would have to face tomorrow.
Johann thought that it could work, so he nodded and said, "I'll arrange someone for you." "Get me someone young," Luca said as she took out a set of needles from her backpack.
She made a request as such because the older practitioners already had their own way of doing things. They were arrogant, so it was difficult for her to change their minds. That was why she preferred to work with someone young.
"No problem. Are you going to start the treatment now?" Johann asked.
"Yes, I'll give it a try. Let's see how it goes," Luca said.
"I'll make the arrangements now." Johann turned around and walked out of the ward.
Nina said gratefully, "Luca, thank you so much."
"There's nothing much that I can do." Luca was unequivocal. She began to sterilize the tools.
Mrs. Hugh felt a little suffocated when she saw the needles. "Are these going to be inserted into Tyrone's body?"
Luca glanced at her, looked away, and explained, "They won't be all inserted. He won't feel any pain."
Tyrone was nervous as he watched her fiddle with the needles. He closed his eyes and decided not to look.
Keith wanted to say something, but Larry squeezed his shoulder. He turned around, saw his warning gaze, and did not dare to say anything.
After a while, Johann walked in with a young doctor. "Dr. Craw, I've found the right person. This is Dr. Wood. What do you think?"
"Okay." Luca glanced at the doctor who was wearing a white coat like Johann. She did not have many requirements, so she just nodded to acknowledge Dr. Wood.
Dr. Wood looked at Luca's aloof appearance. News of what she did previously had already spread in the hospital.
He thought that Luca would be a middle-aged woman. He did not expect her to be a beautiful and smart young woman.

"Hello, Dr. Craw," Dr. Wood greeted her as Johann did.
"Hello. We're about to start. Family members, please wait outside." Luca's tone was cold. Unlike other doctors, she took no notice of the feelings of patients and their family members.
Mrs. Hugh stood up and walked outside the ward.
Keith wanted to stay but was pulled away by Larry. "Come on. You being here will only affect the doctor's mood and the treatment."
Nina glanced at Luca. She thought long needles as such were scary, so she left the ward as well.
Luca asked Johann, "Where are the medical gloves?"
"I'll get them for you." Johann turned around and grabbed two pairs of gloves from a cabinet by the door. One pair was for Luca, while the other one was for Dr. Wood.
Dr. Wood looked at Luca's sterilized needles and asked, "Dr. Craw, are you going to use this set of needles to treat the patient?"
"Yes." Luca patted Tyrone who had his eyes closed and said, "Take off your clothes and lie down with your back facing us."
Tyrone opened his eyes and said as he slowly took off his hospital gown, "Doctor, please be gentle. I have a low tolerance toward pain."
Luca smiled helplessly when she heard what he said. "If you're scared of pain, why did you get into a fight with someone in the first place? Lie down. It won't hurt."
Tyrone's movements were slow. After he took off his gown, he slowly lay down.
Dr. Wood said, "These needles don't look like the needles I see outside."
"My needles are all made to order. When you treat him, you can just use ordinary needles." Luca liked to use these needles because she has always used this set when she was learning and training. She was used to them. After she left the Island of Despair, she was unwilling to make a swap.
"Okay," Dr. Wood said.
"I'll only demonstrate once. The next time, you'll do it with me at the side guiding you. Many of the spots where I'll insert the needles are different from what you learned in medical school. You can record a video for later viewing," Luca said. If she had the time, she would not let a doctor learn from her.
She did not like to teach others. She learned her skills from Shanks, and her knowledge was different from what was in textbooks. Some people would use their medical knowledge to ask 100,000 whys and have her explain the tiniest things. She did not have the patience for that.
"I'll record. You talk," Johann spoke from the side. He had a patient who was not in a critical situation but was about to go into the operating room. However, he wanted to watch Luca treat Tyrone, so he postponed the operation for an hour.
He picked up his phone and found a spot that would not get in the way of Luca and Dr. Wood.
Luca started to insert the needles. She was worried that Dr. Wood could not figure out the locations, so she explained as she was going through the processes.
She paid close attention to Tyrone throughout the treatment.
The whole process could be done in ten minutes, but it took her half an hour to insert the needles in the key acupoints.
Dr. Wood watched her take off her gloves and could not help but say with admiration, "This is different from what I studied in medical school. Dr. Park, did you record it? I'll have to watch it several times."
"It's recorded. Don't worry. I'll send it to you later." Johann was also amazed at Luca's dry needling method. After he saved the video, he wanted to ask her where she learned it from.
However, considering Luca's identity, he knew that she would not say anything, so he dismissed the thought.
Luca stood by the bed, looked at Tyrone, and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere in your body?"
Tyrone did not dare to move due to her previous warning, so he could only answer slowly in a muffled voice, "I feel some muscles on my back... They're throbbing..."
"Does it hurt?" Luca asked. Her dry needling was not electro-acupuncture but direct dry needling, which stimulated the blood flow of the acupoints and dredged the meridians to achieve therapeutic effects.
"It doesn't hurt. It's quite comfortable," Tyrone said with his eyes closed. He did not feel any pain during the entire session.
"Okay, give it 15 minutes." Luca nodded. She looked at Johann, who was looking at her.
"Dr. Craw, you're amazing." Johann could not help but praise her. He felt amazed every time he watched Luca perform dry-needling.
"It's not that I'm good. It's the techniques handed down from our ancestors that are impressive," Luca said in a neutral tone. Shanks learned dry needling from an old man in the deep mountains of Province S when he was young.
Therefore, these were all knowledge left by the ancestors.
Dr. Wood listened to Luca's words and hesitated. He wanted to say that this was different from traditional dry needling. However, Johann had warned him that all he had to do was learn how to perform dry needling and keep his mouth shut for anything else.
As such, even though he had questions, he opted to keep his mouth shut.
15 minutes later, Luca pulled out the needles. It was easier to pull out the needles than to prick them. It took her about ten seconds to pull out all the needles inserted into Tyrone's body.
She said, "It's done. Get up."
When he heard that, Tyrone got up. He was taken back when he saw the used needles that Luca had put on the side, "Uh. You put all of that in me?"
He wondered if his back and skull looked like a hornet's nest.
"It's not that many." Luca carefully wrapped the used needles and threw them into the medical waste trash can. "The family can come in now."
Dr. Wood nodded and walked to the door.
Mrs. Hugh had been worried sick about Tyrone. She was the first who walked in. She asked with concern, "Tyrone, how do you feel Does it hurt? Do you feel any discomfort?"
Tyrone shook his head slowly, his response still very slow. "It doesn't hurt. On the contrary, I feel a little more comfortable."
Keith sneered when he saw how Tyrone was. "What does being comfortable do?! Tyrone, you need proper treatment. Being comfortable can't cure you. Some are good at boasting but don't have the capabilities to match!”
Luca ignored his harsh words. She looked at Tyrone and said, "Tyrone, try and smile."
"I still have to smile?" That was the first time he smiled since he was hospitalized, but everyone had looked at him weirdly. He did not want to smile in front of them again.
"Smile," Luca said forcefully.
Tyrone had to try to squeeze a smile.
Nina kept looking and noticed that Tyrone's smile was not as distorted. Although it was still weird, it was clear that he was doing much better than before. A trace of a smile could be seen!
"That's impressive!" she said.
Luca said to everyone, “He'll get better with treatment. His face is the most serious in terms of damage, so the effectiveness of the treatment will be most obvious there. It'll be noticeable even after one session. For the other issues, it's necessary to continue with dry needling for them to improve."
"Okay, as long as he can get better." Mrs. Hugh had noticed her son's changes as well and was impressed by Luca.
She was glad that Tyrone did not shoo her off. Otherwise, they were unsure when he could be treated.
"What's so impressive about what she did? Isn't it just dry needling? Any doctor can do it!" Keith still refused to accept Luca.
