Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1981-'It's human nature to have a change of heart...'

Vivian could not blame Luke for what he did. Everyone had the right to pursue what they wanted.

Take Gordan, for example. If it were not for Ray keeping a close eye on him, he would have gotten together with other women long ago.

What was more, he got involved with her because he found her refreshing as he had never been with an ugly woman prior.

Gordan had the choice to go for a better woman as well...

Vivian lowered her gaze. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. 'Maybe I shouldn't be so selfish—'

"This soup tastes wonderful." Jason's praise interrupted her thought. Vivian raised her gaze, smiled, and responded, "Glad that you like it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gordan and Ray had ended their fight. Both of them returned to the dining room.

Luca heard the footsteps and looked up at the two of them. Both were injured.

Gordan seemed worse off.

Luca thought that Gordan was great at fighting, but it seemed that Ray was better.

It was no wonder that Ray was able to control Gordan...

Vivian glanced at Gordan, then at Ray. She was frowning.

"Why are you hurt so badly?" Vivian said to Gordan.

"Ask your brother." Gordan had a stern expression. He wanted to fight and vent but did not expect that Ray would go all out. Ray saw him as a sandbag, a sandbag that could dodge and attack.

"You asked for a fight." Ray's expression appeared indifferent as he unrolled his sleeves.

Gordan was fuming that Ray was just sitting there, looking aloof. He wanted to yell at him, but he accidentally tugged at his wound. He took a deep breath and exclaimed, "F*ck!"

Vivian got anxious and put her hand on his arm. "Gordan, does it hurt? I'll treat the wound for you, alright?"

Her gentle concern did not make Gordan feel any better. He shook her hand off and said, "No need."

Ray had a grim expression when he saw Gordan being so rude to Vivian.

Luke looked at the three of them. He knew that if he did not step in, it was likely that they would get into another fight.

"Cough, cough." He coughed twice to remind them that he was still there.

Gordan was about to explode when he heard Luke's coughs. He held himself back. Even though he was angry, he could still manage his emotions.

Vivian glanced at Luke gratefully. If it were not for him, the two would probably fight once more.

Ray had been in a bad mood lately, so he was probably venting his anger on Gordan.

She said to the maid next to her, "It's time for dessert."

"Yes, Miss." The maid turned around and walked into the kitchen. After a while, several of the maids brought out some desserts.

Gordan finally realized that Luke was still around and that even if he was pissed at Ray, he should not provoke him in front of so many people. He calmed down.

After dinner, Luke looked at Ray and asked, "Are you free to have a chat?"

Ray squinted his eyes, thinking that Luke wanted to speak on behalf of Gordan. He was a little reluctant, but considering that Luke was a guest, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk in the study."

"Okay." Luke glanced at Luca and said, "Have some tea and wait here."

"Okay, Mr. Crawford," Luca nodded.

Gordan watched Luke and Ray leave together. She felt a little depressed. He was wondering why Luke involved Ray in the conversation but not him.

He did not say anything and left the dining area.

"Gordan, where are you going?" Vivian asked immediately when she saw that he was about to leave.

"Your brother's fists hit me all over my body. If I don't deal with the aftermath and this face is ruined, will you be happy?" Gordan's expression was gloomy. He always thought that Vivian loved him and wanted him to stay by her side because of his face.

For a while, he even wanted to destroy his face. He thought that such an extreme method would make Vivian give up on him.

Vivian bit her lower lip in embarrassment. She should follow him, but there were guests around. It would be extremely rude for her to leave her guests alone.

On top of that, she was aware that these guests were important to Gordan and Ray.

She resisted the urge to rush over and take care of Gordan. She smiled at Luca and Jason, saying, "Mr. Crawford is having a chat with my brother and it may take a while. The maids have prepared some tea. Why don't you come with me and we can enjoy it in the living room?"

"Okay, thank you," Luca said. She took pity on Vivian, who was stuck in a difficult position.

Over the years, Gordan had never once been gentle or kind toward Vivian. Otherwise, she would not still be as cowardly as she was.

She desperately wanted to be with Gordan and was terribly afraid of losing him.

As a woman, Luca empathized with Vivian and thought that she lived a pitiful life...

Although Ray was very protective of her, what she wanted most was the gentleness and protection of Gordan. However, Gordan was more willing to show his tender side to hookers than to Vivian.

'How sad...'

Vivian was so timid that she never once threw her temper at Gordan...

Luca thought about it as she followed Vivian through the long corridor to the living room.

Luca and Jason each sat on a single-seater sofa while Vivian sat in the master's seat. She asked the maid to bring milk, tea, and coffee. She then asked them, "What do you want to drink?"

"I'll have coffee, thank you," Jason said. Although Vivian was ugly, he found her soft and kind voice quite pleasant.

"I'll have some tea," Luca said. Although Vivian did not say anything, she noticed that the tea was specially prepared for them by her. If she drank coffee like Jason, Vivian's kind efforts would be wasted.

She used to be acquainted with Vivian. However, since she was socializing with her with a new identity, she had to treat Vivian like a stranger.

Fortunately, with the experience of dealing with Luke, she knew how to handle Vivian.

"Okay." Vivian poured them their coffee and tea to show her respect for them.

Luca took a sip, her mind drifting to Luke unconsciously. 'What does he want to talk to Ray about?'

Ray was a well-known gangster in the area. She wondered if Luke wanted to work with him on a project.

Vivian thought of a few topics to talk to Luca about.

Luca responded to Vivian but could not stop thinking of Luke.

In the study.

Luke took a sip of the coffee the maid brought over and looked at Ray with a blank expression.

Ray was a little surprised. 'Doesn't he want to talk to me? Why is he just staring at me?'

"Is there something on my face?"

"No." Luke shook his head and asked, "What's troubling you?"

When he heard that, Ray sat on the executive chair, deflated. He said, "Don't you have something to talk to me about? Why is the focus on me now?"

"That's all I want to talk about." Luke put the coffee to the side of the table and said, "You look troubled."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1982-"I’m surprised that you can tell. Is it that obvious?" Ray touched his chin. He thought he covered it up well.

He never allowed Vivian to intervene in his affairs because he was worried that she would gain enemies from being involved.

Therefore, even if he was troubled, he would never tell her.

Nevertheless, Vivian was an intuitive woman. She could sense when something was wrong with him.

However, this time, he concealed it so well that even Vivian did not notice it. Unexpectedly, Luke noticed that something was wrong.

"Did you investigate me, or did you notice it from something that happened?" Ray asked curiously.

"We're friends. Why would I investigate you? I guessed that something was troubling you because you went all out with Gordan," Luke said. He noticed that Gordan's injuries were more severe than before.

Ray let out a laugh and admitted. "I did vent my anger on him, but it's not all because of Vivian."

"Tell me more." Luke's words were simple, but they indicated to Ray that Luke was considering whether or not to help him.

After all, his capabilities in Russia were limited. A dragon would be teased by a shrimp in shoal water. It might be a better option for Ray to deal with it by himself rather than for him to send in his men.

"It's nothing for you to worry about. There have been several men causing trouble on my site. They make a scene and grab whatever they can. It’s not out of the ordinary, but I can’t find out who these people are. The most depressing thing is that I lost a deal that was about to close to an unnamed organization. I lost a fair bit of revenue because of that," Ray said.

He had to support his sizable group of subordinates. As such, it was natural for him to be anxious seeing that his revenue was decreasing.

It would be nice if he knew who his competitors were, but he had no idea.

He got some of his men to investigate, but they either did not return or found nothing...

That was why he was in such a bad mood.

"Is that so?" Luke frowned.

Ray held a certain power in Russia and was an honorable man. Not many would dare threaten his interests.

Even if they wanted to get involved, they would be forthright with it. Nevertheless, in the end, Ray would more often than not be on the winning side.

This was known throughout Russia.

No one would be so stupid to fight with Ray. However, a daring organization had emerged. It was even one that Ray had not been able to find out more about.

"Many new organizations have been established in recent years. Although we're not the most harmonious, none of them would take things so far with me. It's not just me who's suffering losses. Everyone is suspicious of one another, and a fair few came to talk to me as they suspect that I'm behind it," Ray said.

They would not trust him just on his words alone.

Since he was a suspect, the others would be more suspicious of him if he did not show any strong proof that it was not him...

Luke kept silent for a few seconds. He thought of the Island of Despair...

Although they had not made any big moves in the past few years, he knew that since the Island of Despair was re-established, they would not be willing to stay unknown or make some money by working on mere tasks.

The Island of Despair would embark on the same path as before sooner or later.

"Did you know that the Island of Despair was re-established?" Luke asked.

Ray shook his head and replied, "There are rumors, but no one has evidence to prove that the Island of Despair has indeed re-established itself. The relevant Russian agencies have been monitoring the island where they used to be stationed. They found that no one was coming in or out."

"Although there's no movement, you have to take it seriously. There's someone from the Island of Despair planted around me," Luke said. They had no evidence that the Island of Despair was established again, but he did.

"What? Are you sure?" Ray was stunned and looked at Luke closely.

"That person has a tattoo of the Island of Despair. The design is slightly different, but I'm certain that they're from the Island of Despair," Luke said. The Island of Despair had a rule. When they changed leaders, the tattoo design must be changed as well.

The tattoo on the fake Bianca's body included slight updates on the previous design.

"Is that person still around?" Ray asked. If that was the case, they could believe that the Island of Despair had indeed been re-established.

The others would also believe that what had been happening recently was because of the Island of Despair.

"That person was drugged. I was in control of her when it was time for her to take the antidote, so she didn't manage to take it. She died a sudden death," Luke said. If it were not for the drug, he might have gotten some information from the fake Bianca.

"What a pity..." Ray said disappointedly. He trusted Luke.

However, his trust in Luke was not enough. He needed other evidence to prove it to others.

"I didn't know that she'd be of any use to you. Otherwise, I would have photographed some evidence for you," Luke said.

"Did that person do anything to you?" Ray asked.

Luke could not tell him much, so he just shook his head. "She didn't succeed, but since those from the Island of Despair were planted by my side, I suspect that the people who are causing you trouble may also be them. If there's a next time, keep them under your control. The tattoos on their body can be covered up, and they'll only show if a special potion is applied. I'll ask Gale to send you the formula. Get your subordinates to make it and find an opportunity to see if you can find evidence."

"Okay, thank you so much." Ray did not expect Luke to be able to do him such a big favor.

It was not that he had never caught those people. He had handed them to the police and even interrogated them himself, but he never found out which gang the other party belonged to.

Luke's words gave him some hope. novelbin

If he found proof that those people were from the Island of Despair, he and the people from other gangs would not be suspicious of each other. He would have the confidence to deal with them as well...

Although the Island of Despair was powerful, it had just been established. The veterans were still in prison, so it would not be much of a problem if they worked together to fight against the new Island of Despair.

"Don't thank me. I'm trying to help Gordan too. As long as your anxiety isn't resolved, Gordan will only get more beatings when he pisses you off," Luke said.

He thought it was normal for men to get physical.

However, it was not normal for Gordan to be Ray's punching bag.

It was impossible to keep Gordan in check, so he could only start with Ray.

What he did not expect was that his previous experience came useful...

"I wouldn't have to hit Gordan if he didn't pick a fight..." Ray squinted his eyes. If it were not for the presence of Luke and the others, Gordan might have been beaten up so badly that he would have to be hospitalized.

After all, Ray would never show mercy when he was in a bad mood.

"I know, but it's hard to keep him out of trouble." Luke nodded.

"You know him well." Ray agreed. If it were not for Vivian, Ray would have killed Gordan thousands of times over. He would not have waited until now.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1983-Luke nodded. "As such, we can only start from you."

Ray smiled wryly. He was envious of the friendship between Luke and Gordan. He joked, "Sometimes, it doesn't seem like the two of you are friends. You're like brothers."

"Is that so?" Luke responded briefly and said nothing else.

Gordan had helped him, so it was natural for him to return the favor.

Luke was not an ungrateful person.

Ray nodded. The issue that was causing his headache might be resolved with Luke's help. novelbin

"What's going on with you and Luca?" He changed the subject and asked Luke what had been on his mind.

He thought that Luke and Bianca would be together forever seeing how sweet they were before. Unexpectedly, Bianca was kidnapped.

As time went by, he was surprised that Bianca did not stay by his side.

Eventually, Luca had taken Bianca's place. Ray, who was never a gossipy person, was curious.

"There are some things that I'm not comfortable talking about." Luke did not tell Ray directly about him and Luca, nor did he plan to tell him about Luca's true identity.

He firmly believed that the fewer the people who knew about it, the better.

Ray knew that something was up. "Is there more than meets the eye to this matter?"

Luke nodded and responded, "Somewhat."

"Since you're uncomfortable sharing, then I won't ask." Ray was understanding. Since Luke did not want to talk about it, he would not press him for it.

"Thanks." Luke thanked him for being considerate

Ray nodded and said, "I'll push you out."

"I can do it myself," Luke said. The villa had an elevator, which made it easy for him to go up and down the floors. He controlled the wheelchair and headed to the elevator with Ray following closely behind.

Since Luke said he did not need help, Ray did not step in. He could not help but sigh in admiration as he watched Luke move forward indifferently.

Some people, even if they were in a wheelchair, were still so powerful that they could not be ignored.

After they stepped into the elevator, Luke raised his eyebrows as he looked at Gordan, who was leaning against the corner of the elevator.

Gordan's tone was depressed. He looked at the two of them with his hands crossed in front of his chest. "Are you done talking?"

Luke looked at his bruised face, half of which was swollen. He no longer looked handsome. “We're done talking."

"I have something to talk to you about, too." Gordan shot Ray a pissed look, then looked at Luke.

Luke noticed his depressed expression, glanced at the time, and said, "Is half an hour enough?"

After half an hour, he had to go back to the hotel and prepare for the bidding the next day.

"That's enough. Let's go." Gordan pushed Luke's wheelchair out of the elevator. He rubbed shoulders with Ray on purpose as he passed by and snorted.

It was clear he was trying to provoke him.

In the past, Ray would have beat him up again, but this time, he held back.

Luke had just solved a problem for him. He did not want to pick on Gordan in front of Luke.

Gordan pushed Luke into his bedroom.

"This is your bedroom?" Luke asked. The spacious bed only had one pillow.

It appeared to be a single room.

It should not be Gordan's room, but he knew that the collectibles on the display cabinet on the wall were indeed Gordan's style.

"Yes," Gordan said.

Luke raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't share a bedroom with Vivian?"

Gordan's face sank. "Brother Luke, don't joke around. Who would want to sleep in the same bed with such an ugly woman? I'm too scared!"

The thought of waking up to see Vivian's ugly face magnified before his eyes made him shiver.

"Don't say this to Vivian. It's hurtful." Luke frowned. Although he also thought that Vivian did not have the best looks, he acknowledged that her heart was beautiful.

Gordan was the one who went after her, so he should be responsible for his actions.

"She's thick-skinned. She won't feel anything even if she hears it. What's more, it's hard enough that I have to deal with such an ugly woman. I don't want her face to be the last thing I see every night and

the first thing I see when I wake up. Since you told me not to hurt her self-esteem, it's best that we sleep in separate bedrooms," Gordan yelled.

Luke was speechless. What Gordan said made sense.

Regardless, Gordan was in the wrong. Vivian's company over the years had not made his attitude better. It made him even more disgusted with her.

As an outsider, he did not know what to say.

The conversation between the two was overheard by Vivian, who was standing outside the door while holding a plate. The smile on her face disappeared immediately.

It turned out that Gordan did not want to share a room with her because he thought she was ugly...

She kind of knew why long ago. When they first opted to sleep in separate rooms, Gordan told her that it was because he was used to sleeping alone. He said he would not be able to sleep if there was someone next to him.

She had been using that excuse to lie to herself for as long as she could remember, but now that she heard the truth from Gordan, she could not deceive herself anymore...

In the end, he could not get over her appearance...

Vivian did not dare to open the door. She was going to bring some tea to Luke, but after hearing what Gordan said, she could only leave in despair.

Although she had heard plenty of words filled with disgust and ridicule over the years, she still felt hurt when she heard Gordan's words.

No matter how gentle and sensible she was, she could not get into Gordan's heart.

Perhaps, she should not expect anything, nor should she restrain him anymore...

The two in the bedroom did not know that Vivian had stood outside and overheard their conversation.

Gordan continued talking, "What did you talk to Ray about?"

"I can't tell you," Luke said. Although he trusted Gordan, Gordon regarded Ray as an enemy because of Vivian. Luke was unsure if Gordan would do something to hurt Ray after he knew about Ray's troubles.

Gordan was even more upset. "Are we brothers or are you and him brothers?"

"You're my brother from another mother," Luke said. "However, what we talked about has nothing to do with you. There's nothing that you can do to help."

"Ugh..." Gordan took a deep breath. There was nothing that he could do since Luke refused to talk. He was irritated when he thought of how there was a secret between them that he was not aware of. "Then tell me about what's happening with Luca."

Although Luke had not told him much, he sensed that there was more than met the eye.

"I can't tell you about that as well. When the time comes and I need your help, I'll tell you everything," Luke said. He was unsure if he would gain anything from coming back to Russia.

Luke did not know where he needed Gordan's help.

"You'll only ask me for help when you need it? Brother, I thought we're brothers from another mother," Gordan said, dissatisfied.

"I'll let you know if the matter is resolved." Luke glanced at his watch. "It's almost time. I'm going back to the hotel. Don't ask so many questions. Make sure you treat Vivian well."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1984-Gordan pursed his lips and looked grudging. After all these years, he was still not used to it and had a bellyful of repressed grievance looking at that plain face. "I'm happy to oblige as long as she doesn't show her face around me."

Luke shook his head helplessly.

The women outside were interested in Gordan because he was good-looking and could make money at any time.

Vivian was unlike those women.

At first, he also thought that Vivian liked Gordan because of his face, but as time went by, he did not think that was the case.

What Vivian liked from the get-go was Gordan's soul...

He could see it clearly as a third party, but Gordan was very stubborn and refused to acknowledge it.

Luke shook his head, controlled the wheelchair, and left the bedroom.

He and Gordan referred to each other as brothers, but they were not blood-related. Luke did not think that it was his place to dictate his relationships.

The two walked into the elevator one after the other and took the elevator to the first floor.

Vivian was sitting on the sofa with Luca and Jason.

When she saw Gordan step out of the elevator, the words he said in the room earlier rang in Vivian's ears. She lowered her gaze to hide the sadness in the depths of her eyes.

Gordan looked at Vivian and had no intention of consoling her. He turned to Luke and said, "Brother Luke, I'll get you a car to send you to the hotel. When you're done with work, let's meet again."

"Okay." Luke did not stay any longer because he had other things to attend to.

Gordan went to make the necessary arrangements immediately.

Luca stood up, glanced at Vivian, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality."

When Vivian heard her, she stood up quickly, held herself together, and said, "You're welcome. If there's something that you weren't satisfied with, please forgive me."

Gordan arranged the car and driver. He overheard what she said and sneered. "You're welcome. Entertaining guests is what she should do."

Luca frowned slightly. In the past, she thought that Gordan could do better in terms of how he treated Vivian. After all, he should treat her well since he had chosen to stay by her side. At that point, she did not find him irksome.

A few years later, things were still the same. However, she detested Gordan for it now.

Even with a pet, one would build a connection and relationship with it after a few years together. What was more, Vivian was a living person who had been by his side for so many years. However, he had never appreciated her and always made fun of her...

'He really shouldn't be like this...'

Vivian was not the best-looking but it was not by choice.

'If people had a choice in this regard, who wouldn't want to be naturally beautiful?'

Luca was deep in thought when she heard Gordan say, "The car is already at the door. Brother, I'll send you off." novelbin

"Okay." Luke glanced at Luca. When their eyes met, neither of them said anything. She got behind his wheelchair and pushed it.

After they got in the car and left Gordan's villa, Luca looked at the scene of the streets outside that seemed to be going backward. She hesitated for a while, then said, "Mr. Crawford, Vivian's mood became strange after she brought you tea. She started looking depressed."

"She brought us tea?" Luke frowned. He did not see Vivian upstairs just now.

"Yes..." Luca saw his expression and had a rough idea of what happened.

It seemed that Vivian brought the tea upstairs but did not end up passing it to them. It was likely that her mood became weird because she overheard something.

When she returned downstairs, she seemed unusually upset...

It was different from how she would act whenever Gordan regarded her with distaste. Luca felt that something was about to happen...

Luke did not say anything and texted Gordan. [Vivian seems off, pay attention to her.]

Not long after, Gordan replied: [Brother Luke, did she say something to you?]

Luke did not tell him that Vivian might have overheard their conversation that included his unbridled hurtful words.

Even if he knew, Gordan would not apologize to Vivian.

Without an apology, the damage caused would never be undone, so it did not matter if Luke told him.

He would not feel guilty for talking bad about Vivian...

He replied: [No.].

[Don't worry about it. She's unhappy every day. Her face is ugly and she looks irked all the time. It's normal.] Gordan replied. It was obvious that he was not at all bothered.

Luca looked at Luke, who silently put away his phone.

She assumed that he was talking to Gordan. Nevertheless, nothing came of it...

Gordan hated Vivian so much that he would never appease her...

Luca felt sad for Vivian.

The Rolls-Royce was speeding through the streets of Moscow. After they arrived at the hotel, Jason used their IDs to check in.

Other competitors also stayed in the area because the hotels around here were high-end, and they were also the closest to Party A's company...

Luca helped Luke into the wheelchair. She then used fluent Russian to ask the driver to help them with their luggage.

The driver smiled and nodded toward Luca. He then took all their luggage from the car.

Before Luca could put the luggage aside, a hotel employee stepped out. They enthusiastically pushed Luke’s wheelchair and picked up their luggage.

Luca followed the employee into the hotel lobby.

Jason went over to her holding their ID cards and the room cards. He then distributed the items accordingly.

In foreign countries, these documents were proof of identity. They might not necessarily be together all the time, so it was best for them to hold on to their own documents. Otherwise, there may be trouble.

Luca took her room card, then Jason handed another room card to her. "Dr. Craw, you and the boss will be staying in a suite."

Luca looked at the suite room card. There was no point in her arguing since they had already made a decision.

"Okay." She had no choice but to take the other room card.

Luke did not speak as Jason handed him another room card. "Boss, this is a backup card."

"Mm." Luke took it.

They were in a six-star hotel, so three bellboys handled their luggage while another two attendants brought them to their respective rooms.

Luca opened the door of the suite with the key card and pushed Luke’s wheelchair in.

The suite had two rooms. Like other suites, there was a large living room, a dining room, and even a kitchen.

Luca guessed that there would be some ingredients in the refrigerator.

"Choose a room," Luke said.

Luca glanced at the two rooms that were side by side and suddenly remembered that specific day in B City.

The hotel rooms were also side-by-side...

She glanced inside. The interior of the bedrooms was similar. She picked the one with the balcony and said, "Mr. Crawford, can I take this room?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1985-"Okay." Luke had no objection. He controlled the wheelchair and went to the other room. “Bring me my luggage."

"Okay." Luca carried his suitcase. It still felt quite heavy, but it was not an issue for her.

She went into the room and said, "Mr. Crawford, where do you want me to put your luggage?"

"You can put it anywhere," Luke said.

Luca put the luggage down.

"You can go about your business. I have something to do," Luke said as he leaned down and picked up his briefcase.

Luca watched him take out the computer, put it on his lap, and maneuver the wheelchair to his desk.

It was not a specially made desk, but the height was just right. Luca guessed that Jason had instructed the hotel staff to change it to a desk with a suitable height for Luke.

"Is there something you want to talk about?" Luke looked at her as she was standing there for a while, staring at him.

"All is well, Mr. Crawford. Let me know if you need anything. I'll be back in my room." Luca said quickly and exited Luke's room.

She dragged her luggage back to her room, closed the door, and drew the curtains.

Luca wanted to take a shower, then change the gauze around her waist.

After she took out a change of clothes, she looked for the medicine in the suitcase but could not find it.

Luca realized that although she had prepared the medicine, she forgot to put it in the suitcase...

She was annoyed at herself for being so careless...

Luca rummaged through the suitcase again. The suitcase had a passcode, so she was certain that no one had taken her luggage. It must be that she forgot to put it in.

"I'm so stupid..." Luca could not help but blame herself.

She looked at the messy suitcase and slumped on the bed. She had to change the gauze, but the challenge was that local herbs made up a large portion of the prescription. It was almost impossible to buy all of them in Russia.

Her other alternative was to inject herself with Amphotericin B. However, she did not know anyone in Russia who could help her get it from the hospital.

Luca touched her chin and searched for nearby pharmacies with her phone.

There were several around her, so she decided to give it a try. Maybe she would be lucky enough to get all the materials she needed, or she could obtain Amphotericin B through some other channels.

Luca put on her coat and passed by Luke's room as she left. His room door was not closed, so he saw her as soon as she walked past.

"You're going out?" Luke asked casually when he noticed that Luca had put on multiple layers of clothing.

"Yeah, I have nothing to do, so I want to walk around," Luca replied.

"Go, stay safe," Luke said.

"Okay." Luca's heart was warmed, and she felt relieved. When she was stopped by him, she was worried that Luke would offer to go with her.

If that was the case, she would not be able to go to the pharmacy to buy what she needed. After all, she did not know how to explain to him the situation...

After Luca left the suite, Luke grabbed his phone and called Gale. "She went out."

"Got it, Boss." Gale hung up the call and sat in the car warming his hands.

He arrived in Russia before they did to investigate the forces behind Luca.

Luca headed out as soon as she arrived at the hotel. It was possible that she wanted to go shopping, but it was also possible that she was going to meet the organization controlling her.

Her documents were from Russia, so the organization was most likely based in Russia.

At the same time, the Island of Despair should also be in Russia...

Gale watched Luca come out of the hotel. He said to the driver, "Follow them and keep a safe distance."

"Sir, it seems a little difficult for us to follow her without being detected since she's walking," the driver said. No matter how good he was, it would be obvious if the car was driving so slowly.

Luca was not stupid. She would notice in a few seconds.

"Yeah. Rain, send someone to follow her," Gale said.

Rain replied immediately, "Got it. My people are ready. They're waiting by the junction..."

Luca followed the phone's navigation and arrived at a pharmacy nearby.

Rain watched from a distance and frowned. "Drugstore. What's she doing in the drugstore?"

Gale listened to Rain talking to herself from the earpiece and said, "Don't worry about it. Just follow her. Maybe she's going there to see someone."

Rain was skilled in tracking, so Luca did not notice it. After she walked into the pharmacy, she asked the clerk in fluent Russian if they had anything she wanted. novelbin

The clerk told her apologetically that the store did not have what she needed.

Luca had to leave and go to the next pharmacy.

An hour later, she had gone to all the nearby pharmacies. One of the pharmacies was opened by someone from A City, but she only got two of the materials she needed. She needed a lot more.

Luca felt helpless. Sure enough, it was difficult to get local herbs in another country.

The owner of the pharmacy gave her a suggestion. "Ma'am, it's not impossible to find all the medicinal materials you want. You should go to the hospital. Some hospitals in Russia have a herbology department. I think you can ask them. Maybe you can get everything you need."

"Okay, I see. Thank you." Luca thanked the owner and left the pharmacy.

She had walked for an hour. It had not been long, so her feet were not tired. However, her heart was.

Luca saw a coffee shop nearby, went in, and ordered a cup of black coffee.

Rain wore a mask and leaned against the bus stop. She pretended to be waiting for the bus and whispered to Gale, "She's gone to all the nearby pharmacies. At the last pharmacy, she walked out with a bag. It seemed she bought some medicine."

"Buy medicine? What does she need medicine for?" Gale wondered.

Luke had told them that Luca was skilled in medicine and pharmaceuticals. They were curious as to why she needed medicine.

'Is she unwell?'

"How do I know? Do you want to ask the boss?" Rain noticed that Luca was looking out the window, so she turned around and pretended to be looking at the bus route.

"What is she doing now?" Gale asked.

"She's in the coffee shop having coffee." Rain turned around and glanced at Luca.

Luca was sitting next to the floor-to-ceiling window, so it was easy to spot her.

"How weird." Gale had been watching her for an hour but did not find anything. Even so, he did not give up. She did not do anything for an hour and just went to pharmacies. It was weird. Maybe she was waiting for someone at the coffee shop.

"It's weird," Rain said casually and sat down.

"Keep watch and see if she meets anyone. Make sure she doesn't notice you," Gale said.

"Don't worry. Trust me when I say that I can follow her scent." Rain assured him as she changed her sitting position. "I'll keep watch, but my intuition tells me that we won't find anything today."

"Since when did you start trusting your intuition?" Gale could not help but complain.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1986-Rain looked at Luca, who was in the coffee shop. She could not help but say, "I can't believe that you believed me."

Gale was sitting in the car. The temperature in Russia was lower than that in A City. He was sitting in the car with the heater turned on, but he still felt cold. Rain was out in the open. Poor thing.

There was no choice. When it came to tracking, women were more likely to make others lower their vigilance compared to men.

"Keep a close eye," Gale said anxiously.

"I know. It's so cold." Rain took a deep breath. She had been staying in A City for a while. Just as she returned to Russia, she wandered the streets for more than an hour in the cold. She could not take it anymore.

A bus passed by, but it did not stop because Rain did not wave it down.

Only a puff of smoke remained.

Rain frowned in disgust. She wished to swap places with Gale.

Luca sat in the cafe, slowly tasting the coffee. She thought that the coffee they served was average.

She turned on her phone and looked for a nearby clinic.

Hospitals were generally more formal. She could and did not have the time to go to a hospital, so she wanted to see if there was a clinic nearby.

It was ideal if she could find an underground clinic. Maybe she could get her hands on Amphotericin B.

After searching for a while, she suddenly raised her head and looked out the window.

Luca frowned and looked at the woman waiting at the bus stop. She seemed to have been sitting there for a while...

Her figure...

Luca thought that she looked familiar. She stared straight at the bus stop, thinking about when she could have seen this woman.

She seemed to have seen her nearby about half an hour ago...

It was so cold but she was sitting at the bus stop. A bus had just left, and it did not seem like she intended to get on a bus.

'Could it be that she's been following me?'

Luca looked away and asked for the waiter.

"Miss, how can I help you?" the waiter asked her with a smile on her face.

"Where does the bus from that bus stop go?" Luca asked in fluent Russian.

The waiter glanced at the bus stop and replied, "There are only two routes at this bus stop, but I don't know exactly what they are. You can find out more online, or I can check on your behalf?"

"No worries, I can do it myself." Luca shook her head.

The waiter said, "The weather is bad now, so the buses will likely be late or have reduced frequency. If you need to travel, you can choose to take a taxi or the subway. There's a subway station nearby. Take a look at the map and you can find it. "

"Okay, I see. Thanks." Luca thanked him.

The waiter smiled and said, "You're welcome. Let me know if you need anything."

"Okay." Luca nodded. The coffee in this cafe was not very good, but the service was excellent. She thought about that, glanced at the bus stop casually, then turned her attention away.

It was likely that the woman was keeping watch of her.

As Luca thought about it, another bus passed by. The woman on the chair still did not stop the bus.

Now, she was sure.

No one would sit in the cold for fun...

The woman did not look like she was homeless. She sat there because it was the best position to monitor Luca.

Luca knew this. Although she did not know if this woman was from the Island of Despair, the other party did not seem to be acting with malicious intent.

If she wanted to do something to her, there were a lot of opportunities for her to take action when she was browsing at the pharmacies earlier.

However, the woman did not do anything. There were also no other people monitoring her nearby...

She guessed that she was not from the Island of Despair.

‘If she's not from the Island of Despair, is she here because of Luke?'

Maybe...

However, since she now knew that someone was watching her, she had to be careful.

Luca stood up, put a bill on the table, and said to the waiter, "Bill please."

"Yes, Miss." The waiter went over.

Luca said, "Don't worry about the change. It's a tip for you."

After she said that, she left the cafe and walked out the door. She nodded at the woman at the bus stop. Rain saw her, stood up instantly, and walked in the opposite direction.

"Gale, my mission failed," she whispered, not daring to look back. She was certain that Luca's smile was intentional. It told her that she had been discovered.

"What?" Gale asked.

"She knows I've been watching her and smiled at me. I've left. If you feel the need to keep following her, you need to find someone else," Rain said.

Gale sighed. He did not expect that Rain would be found even with her superior tracking skills.

"She's vigilant considering that she spotted you. Even if I send others over, we'll still find nothing. I believe that she'll return to the hotel in a while and not run around anymore," Gale said as he instructed his subordinates to keep a close eye at the hotel entrance.

Luca was not far from here. If she walked back to the hotel, she could reach it in about 15 minutes.

"Mm," Rain hung up the call and turned a corner. Only then did she dare to turn around and glance behind her.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Luca had not followed her.

'How did she know?'

Rain wondered. She looked like a person waiting for the bus as she sat there.

'How did Luca catch sight of me?'

The more Rain thought about it, the more despondent she became.

On the other hand.

Luca shook her head as she watched the woman turn a corner.

'It seems like I got it right. She's here to keep an eye on me. Her intentions are not malicious. She's just here to keep watch.'

She left because she was noticed.

Although she was gone, there might be others who would follow her. Russia was Abel's world. Her plan of going to a nearby clinic to ask for medicine had now failed.

She had to go back to the hotel.

Luca searched for the hotel address on her phone, then followed the map and walked back.

After about 15 minutes of walking, she arrived at the hotel and walked in.

Gale sat in the car, watched Luca walk into the hotel, and sent Luke a text. [Boss, Dr. Craw has returned to the hotel.]

...

After Luca returned to the hotel, she glanced at the time and found that it was almost time for dinner.

Instead of going back to the suite in a hurry, she chose to walk around the restaurant.

The restaurants mainly served Russian food. She frowned. These six-star hotel chefs were good, and Russian food was delicious. However, no matter how delicious it was, she was still not used to it. Luke...

She did not want to have any.

She thought of the suite that came with a refrigerator and kitchen.

Luca walked out of the restaurant and returned to the suite. Just as she closed the door and took two steps, Luke came out of the room in his wheelchair and looked at her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1987-"You're back?" Luke asked with a frown. He noticed that her coat was wet from the snow.

He knew exactly what she had been doing outside.

He frowned because Luca did not brush the snow off her shoulders, which made her clothes wet. 'What if her coat isn't waterproof and the clothes inside are wet? What if she catches a cold?'

"Yes, Mr. Crawford." Luca glanced at him, then looked away.

Luke's tone was cold as he reminded her, "Your clothes are wet. Change out of them."

Luca looked at her clothes.

"Shoulders," Luke reminded her.

Luca glanced at them and found that they were indeed wet. It did not matter since her jacket was waterproof.

"Mr. Crawford, it's dinner time. Do you want to order something?" she asked.

Seeing that she was not in a hurry to change, Luke understood that her clothes were waterproof. Even if the outer layer was soaked, the clothes inside would not be affected.

As such, he did not mention it anymore. The temperature in the room was high, and the moisture on the surface could be dried fairly quickly.

"Are you going to cook?" Luke asked. He noticed that she had looked at the kitchen when she came in earlier.

He had specially asked Jason to book a suite with a kitchen.

Not many who traveled on business would stay in suites as such. There were not many family suites like this in hotels.

Jason made a reservation at this hotel after asking around.

Luca nodded and said, "I went to check out the restaurant downstairs and it's all Russian food. I don't feel like eating it."

"I'll have what you're having," Luke said and maneuvered his wheelchair back to the room.

Luca understood what he meant. He wanted her to cook.

She walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and sure enough, there were quite a few ingredients.

They were all ingredients that could be commonly found in supermarkets. There was no issue for her to prepare a hearty dinner with these ingredients...

Luca thought about what to cook, and after she decided, she took out the relevant ingredients and prepared to cook.

She asked Jason if he wanted to have dinner as well. If he wanted to eat, she would prepare extra.

Jason replied to her saying no and that he was going to eat at the restaurant downstairs.

Luca did not reply to him. She put on the apron prepared by the hotel and started to prepare dinner.

On the other hand.

After Luke and the others left, Ray did not stay long and left after talking to Vivian for a bit.

The villa that was rarely lively quieted down again.

Vivian sat on the sofa, still unable to calm down. She kept replaying what Gordan had said in her head.

It hurt...

Vivian laughed at herself. After Luke left, Gordan went up to the second floor.

He did not usually spend much time in the living room because he did not want to see her ugly face. It was likely that he was in his bedroom.

Vivian stood up and walked to the second floor.

Gordan's bedroom was on the east, while her bedroom was on the west. She would only pass his bedroom when she took the stairs back to her bedroom. If she took the elevator, she would not pass by his room.

Vivian always chose to take the stairs so that she could bump into him.

When she passed by Gordan's bedroom, she stopped and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Gordan's voice came from inside.

"Gordan, it's me." Vivian pursed her lips. She still wanted to talk to Gordan. She did not believe that he had no feelings for her after so many years.

"I don't have time." Gordan did not ask her what she wanted and just turned her down.

Vivian pursed her lips in embarrassment. Before she could even say anything, he turned her down...

Moreover, he said it in his usual impatient tone.

'Maybe, he hates being by my side... Is it my fault for having an ugly face?'

Vivian walked back to her bedroom in despair, closed the door, and sat on the sofa by the window.

The layout of her bedroom was the same as Gordan's. She did so to feel closer to him. She lied to herself saying that they were very close.

She could not get the exact same collection, so her shelf was empty.

She asked Ray to help find them, but Gordan had personally found the collectibles through various means. Hence, Ray could not find them even if he tried his best.

She had to give up.

The distance between the two was only so little, but in reality, it was an incomparably large distance.

"Sigh..." Vivian let out a sigh. Everything that happened that day was like an extremely sharp knife that cut through her nerves.

She thought about her persistence and him deliberately ignoring her. It had been the same all this while.

She loved Gordan.

However, her love did not seem to make him happy. He was unable to bear this kind of love...

Gordan liked everything beautiful. Her ugly face could not get an ounce of his love.

Vivian looked at her hand and clenched her fist tightly. She was unwilling to let go of Gordan.

She knew that he did not like her, but she held him tightly like how she was clenching her fist.

She thought that if she kept him around, he would fall for her one day.

However, from what he said to Luke, she finally understood that he was a man who only cared about looks.

If she was not good-looking, it was pointless no matter how good her personality was and how much she cared about him.

He would not be moved...

Vivian let go of her hand suddenly and looked at her slender fingers. 'Maybe it's time to let go.'

In this way, she would not have to be so tired and care about his feelings all the time. He would be much happier as well.

'It's not difficult to let go, is it? I have nothing to hold, after all. It might be sad for me, but Gordan will be happy.'

It was within her power to make him happy again.

Vivian took a deep breath and made up her mind. She picked up her phone and made a call.

"Is this Misha & Associates?" she asked.

The other party responded, "Yes, Ma'am. Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Ms. Misha," Vivian said.

"Ms. Misha is occupied now and can't answer the phone. Why don't you leave your name and phone number? I'll have Ms. Misha call you back when she finishes her work?"

"I can't wait. Tell her that my name is Vivian. She'll likely answer," Vivian said. She did not call the lawyer directly because she was still a little reluctant.

She intended to let someone else decide for her.

If Misha picked up the call, she would decide to set Gordan free. If Misha was not around...

After a while, the lady who answered the phone said, "Ms. Vivian, wait a moment, I'll connect you with Ms. Misha now.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1988-"Sure." Vivian's eyes glazed over outside the window. The decision had been made.

Perhaps God was unable to put up with it any longer either. She had been at Gordan's beck and call the entire time. That was why she was unable to bring herself to make the decision.

The call was answered, and Misha's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Ms. Vivian, is it you?" the person asked respectfully.

Misha was Ray's lawyer. Many of the legal affairs of his company were managed by her. Hence, she respected Vivian very much. novelbin

Vivian replied, "Yes, it's me."

Misha found it strange after making sure that it was Vivian who called. Vivian had Misha's phone number, and she could call that number to contact her. Why would she call the front desk's number? Thus, she asked, "Why are you calling the front desk to look for me?"

"There are some legal affairs I'd like you to help with. Ms. Misha, are you available now?" Vivian took a deep breath. Vivian had to tell her about the decision that she made. Otherwise, she would give it a second thought again before she told Misha.

Vivian was not an indecisive person. However, she knew what she had in mind when it was about giving Gordan up.

Vivian thought she might as well make the decision now before it was too late and before she regretted it again.

"Of course, I'm available," replied Misha immediately. She raised her hand to interrupt her assistant, who was about to report to her. Ray was her most valued customer. That was why she dared not to

offend his elder sister.

"I'd like to file for divorce," said Vivian.

"I'm sorry?" Misha was surprised. Did she mishear it?

Everyone knew that the ugly-looking Vivian had a handsome husband. She did everything her husband told her to, and she was gentle and obedient.

Although the two of them did not appear in public that often, it was said that Vivian was deeply in love with that man.

However, Vivian was taking the initiative to file for divorce now?

"I'd like to divorce my husband, Gordan Norton." Vivian took a deep breath and repeated one more time.

Misha sensed that something was wrong. She waved her hand, signaling her assistant to leave her office first.

After her assistant left, Misha asked, "Ms. Vivian, did something happen?"

“Nothing happened. All you need to do is to draft a divorce agreement for me. I don't need anything. I only want a divorce,” said Vivian. She was paying for the house she was currently staying in, but she did not plan to take it.

Gordan loved the house. Leaving everything in the house for him was the last thing Vivian could do for him.

Misha asked, "Ms. Vivian, you're taking the initiative to file for divorce and entrusting me to help you to draft a divorce agreement, am I right?"

"Yes." Vivian's voice trembled. She was not that determined, but there was nothing else she could do.

Gordan still refused to stay by her side.

"That means I'll become your lawyer once I accept your entrustment. I'll have to understand what's going on. Otherwise, I can't just simply draft a divorce agreement for you," Misha said responsibly.

Ray would find out about Vivian's divorce when the time came. Perhaps Ray would even come asking her about it.

That was why Misha decided to get all this figured out first.

"You may ask whatever questions you have." Vivian did not feel that she was being put on the spot. It was nothing more than the fact that Gordan did not like her. It was not something to be embarrassed about.

Her looks would have turned anyone off if they saw her.

"Is it because you fought with Mr. Norton?" Misha asked.

"No," answered Vivian. Gordan would usually taunt her instead of fighting with her.

However, even if they fought, Vivian was unable to argue back as would listen to everything he told her.

"Then, did Mr. Norton do something to hurt you?" Misha asked again.

"No," replied Vivian. Gordan had promised Luke that he would stop fooling around with other women after marrying her.

Sometimes, Gordan would go out early and come back late. However, Ray's men had investigated him before. Gordan had already severed all his relationships with other women. Gordan had never done anything to betray their relationship.

"Are you the one who's deciding to have a divorce? Are you the one who's taking the initiative to file for divorce?" Misha questioned again.

"Yes," Vivian answered.

"Then, does Mr. Norton know about this? Does he agree with the divorce?"

"He hasn't found out about it yet. But he'll certainly sign his name when he gets the divorce papers. It's not going to cause you a lot of trouble." Vivian was pretty sure about it. She could foresee how happy Gordan would be the moment he got the divorce papers.

Misha fell silent for a while, then asked, "Have you made your decision? I remember that you used to be madly in love with Mr. Norton."

"And I still love him now. But I have to let him go. I know lawyers keep a template. They only need to make some amendments to the papers and the job is done. Please send the agreement to me," said Vivian. She had to settle this matter as soon as possible.

Otherwise, she would regret it...

Misha was speechless. What was Vivian up to?

Vivian had learned a lot when she was at Ray's side handling some legal affairs.

Previously, Vivian put in a lot of effort to keep Gordan close to her. Was it that easy for her to give up now?

Vivian realized Misha was not responding, so she asked, “Is there a problem?”

"No, there's no problem. I'm going to amend the template for you now if you've decided. I'll send the agreement to your email. You only have to print two copies out. The agreement shall be effective upon

the date it's signed by both parties," replied Misha.

"Alright. Thank you." Vivian hung up the call and smiled bitterly. She had been struggling with the thought of leaving Gordan for the whole day. However, it only took 15 minutes for her to truly leave him.

It seemed like leaving him was not that difficult at all.

Vivian walked to her study. Her study was separated from Gordan's study.

After all these years of being together, it seemed like he was reluctant to do anything with her, no matter if he was working or resting.

Vivian turned on her computer.

15 minutes later, she received an email. Vivian's hand was shaking when she opened it. It was an email from Misha.

She had already amended the divorce agreement.

Vivian's hands were shaking, and her body could not help but tremble too. Still, she printed the papers out.

She printed two copies of the agreement.

Vivian glanced at the content. Misha was attentive. She listed out everything Vivian had asked for in the papers.

Vivian would leave the marriage without taking anything with her.

Vivian smiled bitterly, and she signed her name on top of the signature line.

Then, she placed the agreement in the bedroom.

Vivian knew they would come looking for her in the bedroom when they could not find her anywhere. She knew they would notice the divorce papers here when the time came.

Vivian picked up a vanity case and pressed it down on the divorce papers. Then, she took her documents and left the bedroom.

This time, she did not take the stairs when she was heading downstairs.

Since she had decided to leave, then she would have to be more thorough about it. She could not leave anything to the imagination.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1989-Vivian came to the first floor. The maid stepped forward and asked her before Vivian left, “Ms. Vivian, we're preparing for dinner now. Is there anything you'd like to have for dinner tonight?"

Vivian was startled for a moment. Yes, it was time for dinner.

She would usually ask the maid to ask her what to prepare for meals so that she could get them to make some of Gordan's favorite dishes.

"I'm going out. Go upstairs and ask Mr. Norton about it. There's no need to prepare my portion." Vivian looked down so that the maid would not notice her mood.

"Ah... Okay." The maid did not expect Vivian to say something like this. She would usually plan the dishes for each meal.

Vivian put on her coat, turned around, and left.

The maid watched Vivian leave. She had no choice but to turn around and head upstairs. Then, she knocked on Gordan's bedroom door.

"I'm busy." Gordan thought Vivian was knocking on the door, so he yelled impatiently.

"Mr. Norton, I'm the maid. I'd like to ask what you'd like to have for dinner tonight," the maid asked timidly.

The maid? It was not Vivian?

Gordan's hands that were toying with the figurine paused. He stood up and went to open the door. It was indeed the maid, and Vivian was not beside her.

"What?" Gordan sounded annoyed. Ray had arranged for the maids to serve them. Although they were just carrying out their duties, he felt irritated with anyone or anything related to Vivian. He wanted nothing to do with them.

Moreover, the people Ray had sent over here were not only to serve Vivian. They came to keep an eye on him.

Ray was afraid that Gordan would do something to his beloved sister. That was why he had arranged for these people to come here.

"The kitchen will be preparing dinner soon. I'd like to ask if there's anything you wish to have tonight," asked the maid. They seldom talked to Gordan, and they knew how bad his temper was. That was why they never felt inclined to talk to him.

"Why are you asking me? Where's Vivian?" Gordan hated to make decisions on such petty things. Usually, they would not even come to ask him. Vivian was self-centered enough to arrange and prepare what dishes they would be having for each meal herself.

“Ms. Vivian went out. That's why we came to ask you.”

Gordan was unconcerned about what the maid told him. Vivian went out? That would be great. He did not have to face her. "Anything will do."

The maid nodded. "Alright. I'm off to prepare dinner now."

Gordan closed the door and fell back into his chair to fiddle with his figurines. He was unconcerned about Vivian going out.

Vivian did not drive when she left the house. She hailed a ride instead.

The road was wet because of the snow. Besides, Vivian was staying in the silk-stocking district. There were barely any cabs passing by here. Hence, she had to wait for half an hour beside the road until she managed to hail one.

It was freezing out here. She could hardly feel her legs when she climbed into the car.

"Miss, where would you like to go?" the driver asked.

"Please head to the Ostin Hotel," said Vivian. She decided not to head to Ray's place. Instead, she chose to stay in a hotel.

She needed some time for herself to take a break from her and Gordan's relationship.

Vivian would not be able to find peace if she headed to Ray's place.

Ray would never be able to understand why she wanted to divorce Gordan. After all, it took a lot of effort for Ray to make Gordan stay. Vivian also used up all her strength to persevere in their relationship.

Ray would probably grab Vivian's hand and question her after learning that she had given up so easily. That was why staying in a hotel would be the best.

Vivian wanted a quiet place instead of being faced with questions and sympathy.

Vivian was dropped off at the hotel entrance by the driver. She glanced at the ATMs nearby. Then, she headed to a machine and withdrew a huge amount of money out of her bank account. Although she was unlike Ray, who was the leader and manager of a company, she had a share of investment in Ray's career.

That was why money was not a problem for her.

Vivian walked into the hotel after she got the money. She booked a suite and paid half a month's rate at once. After she asked the hotel to keep her identity confidential, she hid in the suite, turned off her phone, and never went out again.

Vivian only wanted peace of mind without anyone disturbing her.

At midnight, Vivian was still not back home yet.

Gordan showed no concern, but the maid in the villa noticed that something was wrong. She called Vivian, but her phone was switched off.

The maid could not reach Vivian. It was getting late. Usually, Vivian would stay at home to ensure her safety and not cause any trouble for Gordan.

Ray was a famous mafia in Russia, and he had many enemies. That was why Vivian was well aware of this.

The maid was afraid that something might have happened to Vivian seeing as she was not home at this hour. Thus, she hurried to the second floor, planning to tell Gordan about it.

Someone was knocking on the door again. Gordan thought it was Vivian. He lay down on his bed with his eyes closed, ignoring it.

She must be up to no good for knocking at his door at this hour.

The maid did not hear any noise in the room. She was sure that Gordan had not gone out after he ate his dinner. She bit her lip and asked, “Mr. Norton, are you in there?"

Gordan spoke lazily when he heard the maid's voice, "I'm in bed. You can wait until tomorrow."

"Mr. Norton, Ms. Vivian isn't back yet. I can't reach her. Is there any way you can contact her?" the maid asked.

Gordan frowned. Vivian was not home yet?

She usually would not come home this late...

Gordan got up, but he did not open the door. Instead, he said, "How am I supposed to reach her when you can't? Just tell Ray."

There were no quiet nights in Russia. Even if the temperature was minus ten degrees out there and snowing heavily, the competition beneath the surface would begin as soon as night fell.

The maid shook her head when she listened to his words. Gordan was not even bothered to show a little concern to Vivian after so many years.

Gordan heard the maid leave, and he suddenly felt upset.

Gordan rose and left his bedroom. He headed to Vivian's bedroom. He stood outside her door, thinking of knocking on the door to see if Vivian had deliberately teamed up with the maid to lie to him. He paused while he was lifting his hand.

What was he doing?

Was he worried about Vivian?

How could he possibly be worried about that ugly woman?!

Gordan withdrew his hand and returned to his bedroom moodily.

If it were not for Ray, others would not even spare a glance at Vivian, that ugly woman.

Besides, Vivian usually had bodyguards with her when she went out. Hence, there would not be a problem.

Gordan returned to his bedroom and lay down on his bed at the thought of this. He was not concerned about Vivian anymore.

In the hotel.

Luca finished showering herself. She removed the plastic wrap and the gauze, then she glanced at her wound. The wound did not worsen.

However, she could not leave the medicated powder on her wound. The powder had no effects.

Luca let out a sigh. She threw the bandage into the trash bin and took a new roll of bandage out.

She could only apply the anti-inflammation medicine that she always used to her wound without the powder.

It was already 11 o'clock at night after she was done with everything. She did not walk out of her room as she was afraid that she would run into Luke.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1990-Someone knocked on the door when she had just laid down on her bed.

“Have you slept?" Luke asked.

Luca sat up on the bed. She turned to face in the direction of the door and said, "Not yet, Mr. Crawford. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Luke fell silent for a few seconds. Luca did not open the door as though she was guarding against him. Luke shook his head helplessly. He was a man sitting in a wheelchair now, and there was nothing he could do to her. Even so, she was still not letting her guard down.

It seemed like the days they had spent together were all for nothing.

"I came to tell you that you don't have to wake up early tomorrow," said Luke. He did not insist on asking her to open the door.

Luca was surprised. She got out of her bed and went to open the door. Luke was outside the door, and the distance between them was less than an arm's length.

"Mr. Crawford, don't we have an important meeting to attend tomorrow?" Luca asked with confusion.

Luke told her that she would have to follow him to the meeting when they were eating together today. Jason could not understand Russian, so Luca was in charge of the relevant matters. Meanwhile, Jason would be standing aside to help them.

Luca knew she could not refuse, so she had no choice but to agree with it.

"I've just received the news that something came up and the first party can't attend the meeting. The meeting has been postponed, and the time will only be confirmed at a later time," said Luke. He had just received the notice from the first party, so he came here to inform her.

"Okay. I get it." Luca was reluctant. Postponing the meeting would mean that they would be going back at a later date.

Luca had no idea whether her wound would worsen if she went back a day later.

Luke noticed the subtle expression on her face and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"No, Mr. Crawford." Luca shook her head. She could not tell him that she was injured, so she could not tell him the reason why she was in a hurry to go back either.

'In that case, I'll need to head to the clinic nearby tomorrow.'

"You can tell me if there's anything you need," Luke remembered that Luca had gone to a few pharmacies today. Although she was a pharmaceutical scientist, there was no need for her to visit so many pharmacies.

Unless she was looking for certain types of medicine.

"Alright. Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Luca nodded. Luke had a few connections in Russia, and that included Ray. It was easy for him to look for the drugs she wanted.

However, that would arouse his suspicion.

"I'm not going to disturb you anymore," said Luke. He suppressed the desire in his heart, maneuvered the wheelchair, and returned to his room.

Luca heard the sound of the door closing. Then, she closed her door slowly too.

She lay down on her bed again, feeling anxious.

Luca was worried about her wound. Although she had dressed her wound and taken an antibiotic injection, she was still worried about it.

This type of fungus could still grow and reproduce under such a cold environment if it was not completely gotten rid of.

It was not a problem that could be solved by relying on her immune system.

Besides, staying here would remind Luca that Luke would probably be embarrassed during the meeting. However, their trip here was prolonged.

The more Luca thought about it, the more anxious she became.

Luca picked up the bottle of medicine on the bedside table. She swallowed a sleeping pill, lay down on the bed, and covered herself with the blanket.

Luca was finally feeling sleepy after taking the pills. Despite still feeling anxious, she fell deeply asleep.

Gordan's villa.

It was two a.m.

Gordan was woken up by the heavy pounding on the door.

"Who is it?" Gordan sat up, feeling annoyed. He glanced at his phone. It was five past two.

"Gordan, get your f*cking *ss out of there!" Ray's voice came from outside the door.

Gordan frowned and pushed the door open while he said, "Are you out of your mind? Why are you swearing and cursing at my house in the middle of the night!"

Ray got furious when he saw Gordan's sleepy appearance. He pointed at him and scolded, "Bastard, how can you even sleep?"

"Why can't I sleep? Do you think everyone is just like you? You have nothing better to do than to come here and get roaring drunk in the middle of the night."

"Me getting drunk? Gordan Norton, look at what you've done!" Ray threw a stack of papers right on Gordan's face.

The maid had called Ray in the evening. She asked Ray if Vivian was at his place.

Ray had a bad feeling. After he made sure that Vivian was not in the villa, he sent his men to look for her.

However, Vivian did not drive, and her phone was turned off. There was no way Ray could locate where Vivian was with the GPS tracker.

A few hours later, Ray's subordinates were still unable to find Vivian. He asked Vivian's friends about her whereabouts, but she was nowhere to be found.

Ray had no choice but to come to the villa.

He pushed Vivian's bedroom door open and found a stack of papers on the dressing table.

They were copies of a divorce agreement.

The sharp edges of the paper scratched Gordan's handsome yet bruised face. He yelled at Ray with dissatisfaction, “What the f*ck are you doing?!"

“What did you do to my sister?" Ray clenched his fists. His eyes were blazing red with anger.

Ray refused to believe that Vivian would suddenly file a divorce. Hence, Gordan must have done something.

"I didn't do anything. I'll never do anything to that ugly woman!" Gordan clenched his fists. If it were not for the bruises on his face, he would not be suppressing his urge to pick a fight with Ray.

"How could my sister want to divorce you if you hadn't done anything?!" Ray suppressed the fury in his chest. If it were not for Luke, who had helped him before, Ray would have punched Gordan by now.

Vivian loved Gordan so much. She even went to great lengths to use her connections to make him stay by her side.

How could she possibly file for divorce?

“Divorce?" Gordan was stunned, and he blinked his eyes. After he finally understood what was happening, he laughed disdainfully. Ray's words amused him.

How was it possible for that ugly woman to let him go out of the kindness in her heart?

"Why? Did Vivian cry out that she wants a divorce? Go ahead with it, then. I'll write my name backward if she's really willing to divorce me!" Every word Gordan spoke was sonorous. He strongly believed that Vivian would not file for divorce.

She would pester him until the day she died. How could she possibly take the initiative to ask for a divorce and set him free?!

“Look at the papers you're holding in your hands. She has already signed her name!" Ray glared at Gordan. Vivian wanted a divorce, so he should be the happiest one about it.

That was why Vivian refused to watch this. She chose to give everything up and go into hiding.

Hiding was not a problem. What Ray was worried about was Vivian's safety.

If she wanted a divorce, then fine. It was not like Ray could not afford to support her. He would be willing to support her child too if she had one in the future.

However, he could not find Vivian anywhere now!

If the organization from the Island Of Despair had been secretly messing things up, Vivian was certainly one of Ray's biggest weaknesses.

That was why Ray was anxious about it.

Vivian would usually hide when she was behaving wilfully. There was hardly anyone who would dare to go against her for Ray's sake in the past.

However, things were different now.

There could be dangers everywhere.

Gordan listened to what Ray said. He was dumbfounded.

He could not be kidding, right? Vivian really wanted to divorce him?

Was it true that such a good thing would happen to him?

Ray picked up the papers and glanced at them. They were indeed a divorce agreement. Right under the column where the wife's name was stated was Vivian's name.
