Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2141-“Is this the jewelry set that I asked for? Louis, you probably think that I'm old and my eyes are getting bad. Is that why you're trying to fool me?"

Yuri stood at the stairs, holding Thea's hands. Susan must be in a bad mood now, not to mention that she was lectured by Old Master Crawford not long ago. Yuri grabbed Thea's hand and decided not to return to their bedroom to prevent her from getting into trouble. Hence, Yuri lowered her head and said, "Thea, have you finished your homework?"

Thea pouted, and there was clearly a disapproving look in her eyes. “Mommy, I don't want to do my homework."

"No way. Come on. Let's go to your bedroom and finish your homework." Yuri did not want to deal with Susan's anger. She dragged her daughter and headed to Thea's bedroom without a second thought.

The jewelry set was Louis' idea. Yuri had thought it was a bad idea from the very beginning. After all, jewelry meant a lot to a woman.

However, Louis refused to listen to her. He thought getting something similar would cheer Susan up, so he insisted on buying this jewelry set.

Louis had gotten himself into deep trouble now.

Thea was dragged back into her room. She looked at her mother and said, "Mommy, Grandma seems angry."

"Yes. That's why you must listen to Mommy's advice and do your homework." Yuri was a little worried that Susan would come looking for her. After all, her mother-in-law was a censorious person. She was mean to the others, but she would pick on her more.

"I'm scared..." Thea sulked when she looked at her homework. She did not want to do her homework. She took the chance to use the excuse of Susan being angry to act cute and avoid doing her homework.

"Come on. It's alright. Everything will be fine after you finish your homework." Yuri was having a hard time convincing Thea. Her daughter was not as studious as Luke's kids. Thea would always act cute whenever she was asked to do her homework.

Quoting what Old Master Crawford had said, Thea's personality resembled her father.

Louis was almost the same back then.

Susan's bedroom.

Louis listened to his mother's sharp question as a dull pain ached in his temples. "Mom, this isn't the jewelry set that you wanted. But the price of this jewelry set isn't cheap either, and it looks similar to the one you want."

“How can this be the same? There's nothing similar to it other than the color. It's not even the same brand!" The design was important to Susan, but the price and brand mattered more.

Susan was planning to wear the set to her birthday party. If the wives of those rich men saw her wearing one of the three limited edition jewelry sets, they would be green with envy. Then, Susan would be popular in the social circle.

She wanted to prove that she was the favored daughter-in-law in the Crawford family with that jewelry set. Even though Allison had gotten out of prison, there was no way she could compare to her.

What was the point of having a son who had all the benefits? Her son could give her a comfortable life too.

However, she did not expect Louis to buy another jewelry set to deceive her.

"Mom, the jewelry set you want is a valuable collectible. Others are reluctant to let it go..." Louis was helpless. He was hoping that Susan would understand him.

Louis had gone to great lengths to look for the jewelry set, but he was still unable to get it.

He now owed others tons of favors just so he could look for the jewelry set. It was not easy for Louis to approach a noblewoman who was willing to let it go, but he could not afford to pay the price.

Louis would have to sell his shares in T Corporation.

However, he could not sell the shares that he held in T Corporation to satisfy Susan's vanity.

Luke told him that someone was secretly purchasing T Corporation's shares before. If Louis sold the shares, that person would probably buy them to threaten Luke's status.

They were a family, and Louis would never do something like that.

"This has nothing to do with the others letting it go or not. It's because you refuse to get it for me. I know you have the connections. Fine, you've grown up now. And you told me that you'd honor your mother. It's all bullsh*t. Louis, I didn't raise you to get me a counterfeit jewelry set and make me look like a fool!" Susan stormed off and threw the jewelry box on the bed.

Fortunately, the mattress was soft. Otherwise, the jewelry in the box would have broken if it was thrown on the floor. novelbin

Louis felt helpless. Even though this jewelry set was similar to the one Susan asked for, it was not a counterfeit item.

After all, this jewelry set was released earlier than the one she wanted.

"Mom, why don't you pick something else? I'll try my best to get it for you." Louis knew Susan was a picky person. Hence, it was unlikely that he would be able to get another gift for her.

Still, it was better than arguing over this jewelry set.

Susan shot him a cold glance and scoffed. "You're my good son indeed. I only want a jewelry set and you're giving me so many excuses. Fine. You're not buying it, right? I'm not going to host the birthday party if you don't get me that jewelry set before my birthday. I'm going to show everyone how my good son honors me!"

After that, Susan picked up the jewelry box and stuffed it into Louis' hands. Then, she pushed him out of the room and slammed the door.

Louis looked at the jewelry box in his hands.

Susan told him that she would not accept this jewelry set. Louis leaned against the wall, feeling exhausted while massaging his temples.

What Yuri said was right. A slight difference was poles apart in a woman's eyes.

This jewelry set was beautiful too, and it cost a fortune. The only difference was that this jewelry set was not a limited edition...

Now, if Louis could not find that jewelry set, Susan's birthday party would be canceled.

The Crawford family would become one of the topics of conversation then.

Louis let out a sigh. What a pain in the neck.

He strolled back to his bedroom lifelessly. Yuri pushed the door open and walked into the room. She saw Louis still holding the jewelry box and knew what had happened.

“Mom refuses to compromise, huh?"

“It was just like what you said. Tell me, do I really have to buy that jewelry set for her?" Louis asked helplessly.

"Are you insane? Are you really going to sell your shares for that jewelry set? Let's not talk about the workshop for now. Although the workshop's business is growing, no one knows if it'll run steadily in the future. The income is enough for us to raise our child now, but what about the future? How do you know what's going to happen in the future? You won't have a guarantee without the shares. Luke knows how to please Grandpa well. Even if you're not running your workshop anymore, you still have the chance to work in T Corporation. But if the old master passes away in the future, no one will be there to seek justice for you, and your shares will be all gone. What will we do then?" Yuri took the jewelry box from Louis and checked the jewelry in the box. Fortunately, the jewelry was not broken.

Yuri liked this jewelry set, but Susan was the one who needed it. That was why she did not say anything about it.

Now, Susan did not need it anymore.

Yuri opened the closet and placed the jewelry box in the safe.

"Luke isn't that kind of person. What are you doing?" Louis frowned when he saw what Yuri was doing.

"I'll take this since Mom doesn't want it. It's an expensive jewelry set. I can put it on when I'm attending parties next time." Yuri was not planning to let Louis return the jewelry.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2142-Louis did not stop Yuri. It had been a long time since he gave Yuri any jewelry.

Yuri looked at Louis after she closed the safe and said, “Our family needs the shares no matter what. If you sell all your shares, we can't depend on my family when we're facing any difficulty in the future. Are you going to take out a loan when the time comes?"

"Mom said that she's not going to host the birthday party if she doesn't have the jewelry set." Louis pulled his hair fretfully.

"Why is this old woman so stubborn?" Yuri frowned. She had expected Louis to get scolded by Susan, but she did not expect that the old woman would threaten her son by not hosting the birthday party if he could not get the jewelry set for her.

No way!

The hotel had been booked and the invitation cards had been sent to the guests. People would think that there was something wrong with the Crawford family if they canceled the birthday party out of the blue.

Besides, Yuri had always relied on the parties held by the Crawford family to maintain her status in the Dunn family. If there was no birthday party this time, would she not be laughed at by those people?

"If Mom won't attend the birthday party, we can hold the party like nothing happened." Yuri proposed. After all, there was hardly anyone who truly wanted to please Susan.

People preferred to butter up Old Master Crawford and please Luke. As for Louis, they would only ask for the chance to cooperate or form a partnership at most.

"What? What will the others think of her if she doesn't show up at her own birthday party?" Even though those people would not be attending the party to celebrate her birthday, she had to be there.

Moreover, Louis was afraid that Susan would annoy Old Master Crawford by refusing to attend the party out of spite.

Susan would still be the unlucky one by then.

"Tell me, what should we do if nothing's going to work?" Yuri's good mood was spoiled by Susan's matter in a split second.

Yuri sat on the dressing table chair with her arms crossed. "She's your mother. You'll have to handle this by yourself. It gives me the hump."

"I'll find a way." Louis was annoyed and upset. He thought of lighting up a cigarette to calm himself down. When Louis picked up the lighter and he was about to light the cigarette, he heard Yuri saying, "Get outside if you're going to smoke. It stinks."

"I'm still your husband no matter how stinky it is!" Louis yelled at her and stomped out of the bedroom with the cigarette and lighter.

The door slammed behind Yuri. She frowned, feeling aggrieved. It was not her who wanted that jewelry set. Why did Louis vent his emotions on her?

"Everyone in this family is weird," Yuri mumbled to herself depressingly. She recalled how Susan had complained to her that the old master took her herbs and made tea for Luca before the dinner. Yuri felt even more uncomfortable at the thought of that.

If Yuri were not Louis' wife, she would have exposed the fact of the old master taking the liberty of doing anything he wanted and treating Luca kindly. She would also let the reporters know what kind of person Luke was.

Luke's public persona as a faithful husband was contradictory to his true personality—a Casanova.

It was a pity that Louis did not intend to go back to T Corporation. If Luke's reputation was destroyed, it would not do their family any good either.

Her family could still gain benefits when the company was giving out bonuses.

Louis got out of the bedroom, planning to head to the balcony to smoke. However, he saw Luke standing on the balcony.

Luke did not have any cigarettes in his hands. It seemed like he did not come here to smoke.

Louis knew Luke was not here to look at the scenery. Hence, there was a high possibility that he was standing here waiting for him.

They had been brothers for more than 20 years. Luke knew him well.

Yuri did not like Louis smoking. Hence, every time Louis wanted to smoke, he would have to come to the balcony here to smoke. Louis would want to smoke whenever he had something in his mind.

"Brother, why are you standing here?" Louis walked toward him and forced a smile on his face.

"One for me please." Luke looked at the cigarettes in Louis' hands and reached his hand out. Luke seldom smoked after he found out that Luca's true identity was Bianca. Other than the times when Luca made him mad, he would not smoke.

Louis handed Luke one and lit the lighter for him at the same time.

Luke took a puff and blew a smoke ring. He frowned, "The taste of this cigarette is slightly different."

"Yes. The peppermint tastes stronger," replied Louis as he lit another cigarette for himself. "I guess you're no longer used to it. I notice that you hardly smoke anymore."

"Nothing's bothering me. I don't need it." Luke looked at him. Although they were born to the same father but different mothers, their brotherhood was not influenced by the grudges that their mothers held for each other.

"Yuri mentioned Mom's matter. Is she dissatisfied with the jewelry you bought her?" Luke had been standing on the balcony for some time, so he heard what Susan said to Louis.

"Yeah. She's not happy with it. And she told me she's not going to attend the birthday party if I don't get her that jewelry set. Come on, she's almost 60 yet she's behaving like a child. Is that what she's supposed to do?" Louis was troubled.

Luke watched Louis' brows furrowing as his forehead wrinkled. Susan was always causing trouble for him, but she was much better than Allison.

Louis took another puff of smoke. "Grandpa will be pissed if anything happens at the birthday party."

“What jewelry set is it?" Luke asked. He was planning to lend a hand when he saw Louis was deeply troubled.

"Brother, it's alright. This is my mother's request. She'll never accept it if she knows it was you who helped to buy that jewelry set," replied Louis as he shook his head. He did not want to trouble Luke.

Luke and Bianca had helped him a lot when he had just started building his workshop.

A few years had passed, and Louis had his own career, but he still needed his brother's help. When was he going to grow up and become a man?

"It's alright. I can help you to get that jewelry set first, then you can pay me in installments." Luke suggested. He knew Louis was too ashamed to ask for his help. That was why Luke took the initiative to help.

However, it was not considered doing him a favor.

"Brother..." Louis did not expect Luke to help him.

Luke was not helping Louis by giving him money. He was helping him in another way.

It was a good idea. At least Louis would not feel like he owed Luke a favor.

"I heard Mom yelling at you in the bedroom just now. You found the connection, right? I'll pay for it. Then you can pay in installments after you get that jewelry set. Take it as my appreciation for holding T Corporation's shares," said Luke.

The shares of T Corporation that Louis was holding could be put to use in the future.

"Okay." Louis nodded and stubbed out the cigarette. Then, he took his phone out of his pocket and contacted the noblewoman who was willing to sell the jewelry set.

With Luke backing him up, he was finally able to purchase that jewelry set.

"I'm waiting for her reply. The price will be confirmed later." Louis let out a sigh. The jewelry set was something he could not buy even if he had the connections.

Now that Louis could solve the problem with money, he was finally feeling relieved.

Besides, Louis was the one responsible for dealing with the person who had the jewelry set and some other procedures. Susan would not know that Luke had helped him.

"Just tell me how much you need. Don't put your wife and child in a difficult position," Luke reminded him.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2143-Louis nodded. He understood the undertone of Luke's words.

Luke was telling him not to be concerned about borrowing less from him and spending all his cash on this jewelry set as it would affect his family.

"Brother, don't worry. I know what to do," replied Louis. He would not let his family suffer just to satisfy Susan, especially Thea. He needed to spend a lot of money on her now.

"It's getting late. Get some rest." Luke patted Louis' shoulder and left the balcony.

Louis watched Luke leave from behind. Luke had always been taking up responsibilities since he was a little boy. Until now, Luke was still the well-qualified big brother in Louis' heart.

Louis recalled that when he was still young, the relatives of the Crawford family were unhappy that Allison brought Luke back home. They often spoke ill about the mother and son in front of him. They even told him that he had to be better than Luke. Otherwise, they would lose everything they had.

Although he was not as outstanding as Luke was now, he was living the life he wanted. Besides, he did not lose everything because of it.

The brothers got along pretty well.

Louis smiled at the thought of what Pierre told him two days ago. He had tried to make mischief between him and Luke. At this moment, he thanked Luke while watching him leave from behind.

Louis thanked Luke for being willing to be his brother.

Luke did not return to his bedroom immediately after he left the balcony. He headed to the guest room instead.

This was the guest room that Old Master Crawford had asked the maid to clean for Luca to spend the night here.

Luke pondered for a moment and knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” Luca's voice came from the other side of the door.

“It's me,” said Luke.

No sound came from the room after that. A few seconds later, the bedroom door was opened. Luca was in her pajamas, and she stood at the door to ask, “Mr. Crawford, can I help you?”

"Am I only allowed to talk to you when I have instructions for you?” Luke asked. novelbin

Luca felt a little awkward. She always had this feeling that Luke seemed to be dissatisfied with something else. She shook her head immediately, "No, I didn't mean that...”

She was hoping that she could see Luke every minute and every second of the day, but due to their current relationship, they were not allowed to do so.

Seeing each other often would only start rumors about them.

“I came to see you," said Luke. He glanced at the bed in the room. The blanket had been laid properly, and it seemed like there was nothing that Luca needed.

Luca folded her hands and rubbed her hands unconsciously when she heard what Luke said. Then, she turned around and looked at him. "I'm fine."

"If you need anything, just call the maid with the phone beside the bed and ask them to prepare it for you," reminded Luke.

"Alright. I got it." Luca met his gaze, then she shifted her gaze away and let her gaze wander.

Luke opened his mouth as he wanted to say something more, but he noticed Luca's uneasiness. It melted his heart at once.

He knew what Luca was worried about.

She was worried that the old master or Susan would see them standing so close to each other. Also, she was worried that the others would speculate about their relationship and stop them.

She had tons to worry about.

Luke had been concealing his knowledge of her identity from her. He was not sure whether it was right or wrong to let her suffer like that.

However, they had made it this far. He had to continue regardless of the choice he made was right or wrong. The only way to end this was to figure out who was the mastermind behind Luca.

That way, Luca would be able to stay by his side without having to worry about anything.

"Go to sleep. Goodnight." Luke was a little disappointed, but he turned around and left.

Luca secretly let out a sigh. She knew Luke wanted to tell her something, but if he said it out loud, things would change.

That was why Luca would not give him the chance to say it to her.

In the middle of the night.

Luca could hardly sleep. Her body was burning, and she unconsciously placed her hand on her forehead. There was sweat all over her palm.

However, the temperature on her forehead was normal.

She stretched her legs uneasily and let out a moan. Before she was completely awake, she knew there was something wrong with her. This feeling...

Her body seemed to have lost control, and the heat rushed to her head as though every cell in her body was affected. Luca forced herself to sit up on the bed. She groped in the dark, looking for the switch.

Luca turned on the lights in her bedroom. She narrowed her eyes once the lights were lit, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

She felt that something was wrong with her. It was as if she had been given that kind of drug.

However, the symptoms did not seem like it. Luca pondered for a few minutes and found a term to describe how she was feeling now—heaty...

Besides, the heat came from the body's primitive reflexes. It did not seem like she was being controlled by a drug.

“What's wrong?" Luca could not help but frown. Had she been alone for too long?

However, she never had this feeling when she was on the Island of Despair for such a long time. Why did it suddenly...

Luca clasped the bed sheet helplessly. It looked like tonight would be another sleepless night for her.

Knock, knock. There were knocks on the door. The sound that rang in her ears stirred up the restless cells in her body.

"Who is it?" Luca asked, secretly hoping that the person outside the door was the man she was thinking of.

"It's me." Luke's voice came from the other side of the door.

Luca frowned. It was him. The moment Luca heard his voice, she had the urge to rush out and hug him. However, her rationality was stopping her from doing so.

"I'm already in bed, Mr. Crawford." After that, Luca bit her lip, worried that she would make some weird noises.

After knowing that Luke was outside the door, her body trembled uncontrollably. The rush of sensations crawled across her body, asking her to open the door and leap into the arms of the man outside the door.

Luca even had the urge to take a cold shower.

However, it was winter now. She would catch a cold if she showered now.

Besides, she was living with the kids. She would easily spread it to the kids if she caught a cold. That was why she had to endure it.

The sound coming from outside the door seemed to have stopped.

There was disappointment in Luca's eyes. Did Luke leave already.

Luca shook her head immediately. What was she thinking of? Even though he was Luke, she could not just.

She could not imagine what the consequences would be if the two of them got that far.

While Luca was struggling, there came Luke's voice outside the door again. He sounded like he was in pain this time. "I think I'm sick. I don't feel so well."

Sick?

"Mr. Crawford, I'm. not a doctor." Luca clutched the bed sheet and insisted.

"I can't wait till the doctor's here. Luca, you're the only one who can help me.." Luke leaned against the wall beside the door and knew that it must be the tonic he drank when he was having dinner.

Nothing happened even a few hours after he drank the tonic. He did not expect that he would feel a little off in the middle of the night.

The tonic the old master gave them was too strong.

Luca could hear the weakness in his voice, and she could not bear to leave him like that. Hence, she went to open the door.

Luke rushed into her bedroom once the door was opened. Before Luca could do anything, Luke flung his arms around her with his body against hers.

“Luca, I feel sick." Luke held Luca close to his chest like a child hugging his pillow, telling her how awful he felt.

Luca's mind had gone blank. There was no doubt that the hug was arousing the desire in her that she could hardly suppress.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2144-Luca's mind went completely blank, just like what happened a few days ago. Her brain froze uncontrollably...

“Mr. Crawford.." Luca tried to push the man away. She accidentally touched his fiery skin and quickly pulled her hand away. His skin was burning.

"Luca, am I sick?" Even though Luke knew what was happening to him, he still hugged her.

Luca drank the tonic too. He believed that she was not feeling any better than he was now.

"Let go of me. Let me check on you." Luke's scent filled her nostrils. Perhaps the scent used to be hypnotic, but now, the scent seemed to have triggered something in her body. It silenced her thoughts. All she wanted now was to drown herself in him, do something crazy, and let the chips fall where they may.

"You can cure me, right?" Luke was still hugging Luca, refusing to let go of her. He longed to make Luca melt into his body, his blood, and his cells.

Luca knew it was impossible to ask Luke to let go of her now.

She had no choice but to say, "How are you feeling?"

Luke buried his head in the curve of her neck, breathing in the smell that belonged to Luca. It smelled good and was sweet. The woman he longed for was in his arms now. He said, "It's hot. And it's uncomfortable. Am I having a fever?"

Fever?

Luca reckoned that Luke was having the same symptoms as she was. It must be something they ate.

The tonic. Could it be that the old master.

Before Luca could continue thinking, Luke, who was beside her, was rubbing his face on her neck. The itch of his hair on her skin shot through her nerves and into her heart, awakening something within.

Luca was already suspicious, but there was nothing she could do with Luke behaving this way now.

Her hands were bound. It took a while for Luca to lift her hand and touch the face that was buried in the curve of her neck.

His skin was not radiating heat when she touched him.

Luca understood how he felt. It was not the body but the cells in their bodies that were frenetic.

"Mr. Crawford, you're not having a fever," replied Luca. She was feeling uncomfortable now too.

Luke lifted his head. His gaze did not seem muddled. Aphrodisiac was not added to the tonic. It was only a nutritious tonic.

Luca knew herbal medicine well. She assumed that it was too nutritious for them, and their bodies could not accept it. That was why they were having this reaction.

“Then why do I feel unwell?" Luke's dark eyes were staring at her, and he noticed the red flush on her cheeks.

"It's probably because of the tonic. You'll be fine. Just bear with it," answered Luca. Although they were looking each other in the eyes, she was still unable to break free of his grasp.

The man's strength was not something a woman like her could fight against.

"I can't." Luke leaned closer to her and pressed his lips on her soft, silky ones.

Luca was seducing him every moment he was together with her. Hence, he could no longer suppress it anymore.

Luca widened her eyes. The touch on her lips eased every muscle in her body, and the cells in her body were shouting and cheering as Luke kissed her.

He was so good at kissing. It made her forget to breathe and abandon her thoughts of resisting him.

Luke's lips crashed on hers unrestrained. He enjoyed the enticing flavor that belonged to her. His hands held Luca in his embrace uncontrollably.

"Mmm..." Luca could not help but let out a muffled hum.

Luke's kiss was like a switch, waking up all her memories of the past.

Her body, which was still under her control just seconds ago, was only focused on one thing now—she wanted more of Luke.

Luca closed her eyes and let Luke take over her. She knew she could not push the man away, and she did not intend to either...

Luke could feel the woman's cooperation. His lips were slowly moving down, kissing her chin. It was as though Luke was teasing her every time he planted a kiss on her.

At first, Luke was only asking for a kiss to make it a better night for him. However, now he realized that he could not stop himself and things were getting out of hand.

"Mr. Crawford, no.." Luca was immersed in his kisses, but her rationality was trying hard to regain the initiative.

She was afraid of the intimacy they were sharing without taking any drugs. There was barely any rationality left in her. If they took things to another level when they were aware of what they were doing, how could she face him tomorrow when she woke up?

Some things could never go back to the way they were.

Luca's body was trembling uncontrollably.

Luke was startled for a moment when he saw the tears falling from the corners of Luca's eyes. He helplessly let out a sigh. The burning desire within him surrendered to her tears.

"I'm sorry. I was being impulsive," apologized Luke. Then, he held her in his arms again.

Luca buried her head in his chest and shook her head. There were shivers, disappointment, and gratitude in her heart.

It was a complicated feeling, but she was hoping that Luke could forget everything as though nothing ever happened.

However, he was not drunk this time. How could he forget about it?

“Luca, I feel terrible, but I respect you. It's because I value you, care for you, and love you." Luke confessed to her all of a sudden.

Luca could feel as if her heart had been hit by lightning.

She was unable to think straight, but she still replied calmly, "Mr. Crawford, I..."

"I know you have feelings for me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have accepted my kiss. And I know you won't agree to be together with me, but I'll wait for you. I'll prove my love for you. It's true. You don't

have to feel pressured about this. I'll wait for you." Luke was not holding back this time. He thought of telling her how he felt for her.

He did not expect the tonic the old master had prepared for him could work in this way too.

"Can I stay tonight? I'm not going to do anything to you. I only want to hold you in my arms tonight. Only you can cure the discomfort in my body." Luke did not give her the chance to reject him and immediately asked her.

Luca looked down and thought it would be just for one night. Hence, she nodded.

Luke smiled after getting her permission. There was a twinkle in his eyes. He held Luca's hands and sat on the bed.

"Lay down. I'll take just one-third of the bed," said Luke.

Luca felt like she had been bewitched by him. She listened and obeyed every word he said.

Perhaps it was the kiss.

She lay down on the bed and moved a little to the side, giving him half of the bed to sleep on.

Luke was delighted. He covered himself in the blanket. After he reached out and turned off the lights, he held her in his arms again.

Luca's body stiffened at his touch.

Luke chuckled when he felt the changes in her body and said, "Don't worry. I just want to hold you in my arms and fall asleep. That's the only way to make me feel better."

Luca doubted it.

Would he really feel better? She was not going to believe that. The moment Luke hugged her, her body that had already calmed down was burning again.

It felt uncomfortable.

The tonic that Old Master Crawford gave them was working well.

Luca could not help but mutter to herself that she would never believe the old master's kindness anymore.

Luke could feel that Luca was slightly shivering. It seemed like Luca was feeling unwell again. He held Luca in his arms tightly.

He had declared his affection to the woman he loved, but he was having a hard time too.

Susan widened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. She woke up again after falling asleep.

She felt the burning heat all over her body, but the infrared thermometer showed that her body temperature was normal.

Susan had no choice but to think that it was because she was so mad that she could not even sleep well. Her hatred for Luca and Luke grew a little more at the same time.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2145-The following day.

Susan yawned while making her way down the stairs. She could not sleep after waking up in the middle of the night. The heat in her body went away not long ago. She wanted to rest more but did not feel like sleeping anymore, so she thought of getting up and keeping an eye on Luke and Luca.

“Good morning, Madam Crawford." Mr. Griffin noticed how pale Susan was, and he understood why she was looking pale.

Susan must have had a hard time trying to fall asleep last night. After all, she took the medicine that the old master had asked someone to prescribe. Even though she was a middle-aged woman, it was hard to resist the effects of the medicine.

"Is breakfast ready?" Susan asked.

"Mrs. Nancy is still on it," Mr. Griffin lowered his head and answered.

Susan complained, "She's still making breakfast? What's wrong with her working efficiency?"

Mr. Griffin glanced at the time, lowered his head, and replied respectfully, "Madam Crawford, Mrs.

Nancy didn't know you'd be waking up this early today."

He did not tell her that it was still early in the morning. If Susan heard him saying this, she would point at him and say that it was just an excuse to slack off.

Susan sneered. There was only Mr. Griffin and her in the living room. It looked like the other maids had not come to work yet.

She had indeed woken up early today, but she would not allow that to be a reason. She said, "Ask Mrs. Nancy to speed up and prepare breakfast earlier next time."

"Yes," replied Mr. Griffin. Although he agreed with her, he was not planning to listen to her instructions. novelbin

The time to prepare breakfast in Crawford Manor was usually based on Old Master Crawford's routine. He was normally the earliest to wake up, after all. Breakfast would be served just in time after the old master woke up. This was to ensure the breakfast was freshly made and would not go cold.

Susan had no choice but to sit on the sofa while waiting for breakfast to be served. When Mr. Griffin was about to do his work, he heard Susan ask him, "Did anything happen in Crawford Manor last night?"

"What do you mean?" Mr. Griffin paused and turned around to face her respectfully.

Susan frowned as she secretly scolded him for being ignorant. She had no choice but to make it clearer.

"I mean the person who spent the night here... Did anything happen to her?"

"Madam Crawford, you know that I'm not allowed to head upstairs to disturb anyone at nighttime if I'm not required" answered Mr. Griffin. He was dropping a hint that there was no way he would know what had happened last night.

He would not go upstairs unless his master allowed him to

"A stranger had spent the night here. You should've kept an eye on her. You've failed as a butler." Susan was dissatisfied with his answer, and she thought Mr. Griffin should have watched over Luca.

Mr. Griffin felt helpless. He knew that Susan was picking on Luca, but he did not know what Luca had done wrong to receive such treatment.

Perhaps Old Master Crawford was very fond of her, and their young master had feelings for Luca, that was why Susan was behaving like this.

The old master invited Luca to spend the night here, and he even arranged a room for her upstairs. That indicated that he trusted Luca very much.

Susan was not allowed to touch those who had the old master's trust.

"Even though the old master asked her to stay here, you should be careful. Isn't that one of the butler's responsibilities?" Susan found herself another excuse to vent her anger on Mr. Griffin after bottling everything up and not getting enough sleep the whole night.

Mr. Griffin glanced at the time and replied helplessly, "Madam Crawford, Old Master Crawford will be awake soon. I'm heading to his room to help him freshen up."

Susan watched Mr. Griffin leave from behind. She was so furious that she grasped the material of the leather sofa tightly. The butler of the Crawford family did not take her seriously!

It took a while before she loosened her grip, which left the material of the sofa all wrinkled.

Susan secretly swore that the first thing she would do after Old Master Crawford passed away was to fire Mr. Griffin.

An hour later.

Luca and Luke made their way down the stairs.

Old Master Crawford was already sitting in the dining room, waiting for them to have breakfast together.

A hint of disappointment flashed across the old master's face when he saw Luke and Luca not holding each other's hands as he had imagined.

Could it be that Luke did not seize the chance last night?

Both of them drank the tonic, so it could not be...

Old Master Crawford looked at their faces carefully. There seemed to be some dark circles under their eyes.

"Good morning, Grandpa."

"Good morning, Old Master Crawford." Luca greeted the old master together with Luke.

"Come on. Sit down and get ready for breakfast," replied Old Master Crawford. He wondered if the two of them had lowered their pride and endured the medicine's effects last night. Was that why they could not get a good sleep?

Luca sat on the same seat as during the dinner last night.

Mr. Griffin and the maids were busy serving breakfast.

Old Master Crawford took the chance and asked, “Luca, did you sleep well last night?"

Luca believed that Old Master Crawford was deliberately asking her that question. She was pretty sure that there was something wrong with the tonic.

Besides, her abnormality seemed to last longer than Luke. She believed that it was not because of her physique but that the herbal tea had the same effects.

Hence, the old master had given her two doses of medicine.

Luca was speechless. She did not expect the honorable old master would do something like this to her and Luke.

"I had a good rest. Thank you for asking." Luca bit the bullet and said something untrue.

Honestly, she did not have a good sleep last night.

The same went for Luke.

Luca thought she would be able to sleep well until dawn cuddling with Luke. After all, Luke could make her sleep well like her sleeping pills.

However, she did not expect that the more she slept, the warmer she got after closing her eyes. She did not feel like sleeping, but she was not mentally awake either. The discomfort had almost devoured all her rationality.

Luke could not fall asleep either as he was having the same problem.

At last, Luke could not stop his hands from exploring her body, and there was nothing Luca could do anything about it.

Although the two of them did not take things to the next level, what should have happened had happened. They leaned against each other, forcing themselves to stop the restlessness in their bodies.

They did not make love, but they had made out like a couple who longed for each other. They demanded pleasure and sweetness from each other to satisfy the burning desire in their hearts.

That was why she woke up feeling weak this morning.

It was probably caused by the exhaustion and the side effects of the medicine last night.

"Really? But you look—" Before Old Master Crawford could continue, Luke interrupted and stopped him.

"Grandpa, let's eat breakfast," said Luke.

"Are you in a hurry? Why can't I talk to Luca first before having my breakfast?" Old Master Crawford rolled his eyes at Luke and thought, 'Did Luke not do anything? What a coward!' Luke wasted all his efforts and preparation.

"I'll have to head to the airport for a business trip..." said Luke, reminding the old master that it was time for breakfast.

As long as the old master had not started eating, as the younger generation, they were not allowed to start either.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2146-“Business trip? Why are you going on a business trip again?" Old Master Crawford said querulously. He knew that Luke was going on a business trip to handle T Corporation's matters, but the old master was unhappy now.

Luke would rather stay up all night and waste his efforts than take the initiative to look for Luca and solve his problem.

One could not make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!

"It's the company's affairs," replied Luke.

Old Master Crawford sneered. He knew it must be related to the company. It was just that Luke had never thought about his marriage!

Even though the old master was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he could not rewind the time to last night no matter what he did. Besides, Luca was smart. She should have noticed that there was something wrong with the tonic. Hence, the old master could not use such ways anymore.

"Let's eat," said Old Master Crawford.

Luca let out a sigh. It was fortunate that the old master did not continue asking them. Otherwise, she would recall everything that happened last night. She would have to lie to cover it up...

What happened last night.

Luca was reminded of Luke's body temperature and how he held her in his arms last night. She glanced sideways to look at him.

Luke was eating his breakfast with the fork in his hands.

Luca's face reddened all of a sudden.

There was no way she could look Luke in the eye after everything that happened.

Luke drove Luca and the kids back to the villa after breakfast.

Luke's luggage was still in the villa, so he had to go back to the villa to get his luggage before he headed to the airport.

Old Master Crawford waited until Luke had left, then he leaned on his walking cane and rose to his feet.

Mr. Griffin hurried over to help him and asked, "Old Master Crawford, where are you going?"

"Follow me." Old Master Crawford walked into the elevator in Crawford Manor. He waited until Mr. Griffin entered the elevator before pressing the button heading to the basement.

The elevator doors slowly closed. Mr. Griffin asked, "Are you going to the control room?"

Old Master Crawford smiled and replied, "You do understand me after years of serving me."

He refused to believe that Luke did not do anything. Although Luca claimed that she had a good sleep and nothing happened, he noticed that Luca was blushing when they were eating their breakfast.

Her gaze was on Luke every time she blushed.

"Do you know why I arranged for Luca to stay in that guest room?" Old Master Crawford asked.

Mr. Griffin nodded. He knew why the old master was behaving like this after serving him for so many years. He had already figured it out. "The security camera installed in the living hall happens to capture the door of the guest room."

"Bingo." Old Master Crawford nodded.

The elevator reached the basement, and Old Master Crawford sat in front of a computer.

Mr. Griffin helped him to find the security camera that captured the guest room's door. After he found the right security camera, he asked, "Old Master Crawford, do you need to cast it on a projector screen?"

"There's no need," answered Old Master Crawford. "Speed it up."

Mr. Griffin heard him and operated the computer.

Old Master Crawford's cloudy eyes were on the computer screen. He saw Luke knocking on Luca's door in the middle of the night. Although he had no idea what they were talking about, the old master smiled excitedly when he saw Luca open the door for Luke. "Did you see that?" novelbin

He was asking Mr. Griffin, who stood beside him.

"Old Master Crawford, I see it. Young Master Luke entered Ms. Craw's bedroom," answered Mr. Griffin.

"They closed the door." Old Master Crawford was satisfied. He knew his plan had helped the two of them. "Let's see what time Luke came out from there." Old Master Crawford was relieved after he saw Luke enter Luca's room. He leaned back on the chair and looked at the computer screen.

Mr. Griffin looked at the old master's expression and nodded. Although it seemed bad to spy on Luke and Luca, the old master was worried about his grandson's happiness, which made it reasonable for him to do this.

"Old Master Crawford, let me break the footage into sections and open a few more windows. It'll work faster that way," Mr. Griffin suggested.

"Alright. That's a good idea. Break it up, then," said Old Master Crawford. Although they were watching the video at a faster speed, it would take one or two hours to watch the footage from the entire night.

Mr. Griffin operated the computer and started playing the footage.

Old Master Crawford began to watch the videos.

Half an hour later, he pointed at the screen and asked, "When is this?"

Mr. Griffin paused the video, glanced at it, and answered, "Old Master Crawford, the time shown on the footage is already dawn."

"Good job. Luke didn't waste my efforts. This kid was still trying to deny it. Hah, I've got you now, huh?" Old Master Crawford was grinning. He was pleased with this outcome.

A man and a woman who had taken the medicine were alone in a room. Something must have happened.

Mr. Griffin looked at the old master's cheerful expression and thought that Luke was innocent. After all, it was not Luke who denied it. It was Luca.

The old master leaned forward, looked at the time, and said, "Delete the footage. Make sure it's deleted permanently. Don't let anyone see this."

He was worried that Susan would come here and look at the footage. That was why he asked Mr. Griffin to do so.

After all, Susan was a troublemaker. She might leak the footage to the public to crush Luke if she saw it.

Old Master Crawford knew about the impostor Bianca, but the others had no idea about it. They only knew that Luke had a wife and a family. He would get into trouble if the footage was leaked.

That was why the old master had to protect Luke.

"Alright, Old Master Crawford," said Mr. Griffin. He thought he might as well delete all the footage recorded yesterday. It would arouse suspicion if he deleted only a part of the footage.

"Let's go. I'm in a good mood today. Follow me. I'm going to visit Old Man Rayne for a game of chess." After Old Master Crawford watched Mr. Griffin delete all the footage, he leaned on his walking cane and stood up.

"Yes." Mr. Griffin helped him up the stairs.

Susan, who was in the living room, saw Old Master Crawford come out with a happy face. He headed to the entrance. She was curious about what happened.

"Dad, are you going out?" Susan asked.

"I'm going to the Rayne family's house. Don't wait for me for lunch." After Old Master Crawford changed his shoes, he instructed Mr. Griffin, "Bring the supplements that I bought the last time. I'm giving it to them."

"Yes." Mr. Griffin did what he was told.

Susan watched Mr. Griffin take the supplements out from the shelf unhappily.

It was Luca yesterday and the Rayne family today. How kind was the old master to those who were related to Luke!

This was what she meant by the old master favoring Luke more. Everyone said that Old Master Crawford valued Luke, and even the old master's heart was biased toward Luke!

Susan was very unhappy about it.

After Old Master Crawford left, Susan hurried downstairs. She reckoned that the old master had checked the security cameras just now.

Susan pushed the door open and walked into the control room. She touched the CPU. It was slightly warm.

She turned on the computer immediately and called the guards.

"Madam Crawford, is there anything I can help you with?" a guard asked.

"I'd like to see what the old master was watching just now," replied Susan.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2147-“Madam Crawford, isn't it a bad idea to look at this?" The guard hesitated. Although Old Master Crawford did not tell him that he should not watch the footage, there was a chance that he might get fired if the old master found out about it.

"What's wrong with it? The security cameras installed in the house belong to the Crawford family. Am I not the madam of this family? Why can't I see it?" Susan raised her brows and threatened, "You'll be fired if you don't help me get the footage."

The guard had no choice but to search for the footage after getting threatened by her.

"Give me a second," replied the guard. He began to open all the security footage folders and checked which one had been opened recently.

Susan rushed him, "Make it fast. I have an appointment later."

The guard nodded and looked at a bunch of security camera footage recordings.

There were many security cameras in Crawford Manor. Most of them were installed outside the gate and in the public areas in the house. All surveillance footage would be saved for up to two months before they were automatically deleted. That was why there were a lot of recordings.

After a while, the guard turned to look at Susan.

"What's wrong?" Susan asked. Judging from the expression on the guard's face, Susan knew he was unable to get what she wanted. Susan threatened him again, "If you dare to brush me off, you won't only lose your job but you might not be able to find a new one in A City."

Susan had no sympathy for him. She would not have those who refused to listen to her instructions stay.

She had been treating most of them who worked in the villa badly other than Mr. Griffin, the old master's aide. She could not lay a finger on him.

"Madam Crawford, it's not that I don't want to find the footage for you. The surveillance footage Old Master Crawford checked was probably deleted." The guard gave her a sullen look.

"Deleted? Are you sure?" Susan doubted it.

What did the old master see that he needed to delete it?

"Yes. The recordings here have not been opened before. There's only one surveillance footage missing, so it must've been deleted," explained to the guard as he pushed the screen toward her.

Susan did not know a lot about this and asked, "Which security camera?"

“The one on the second floor, near the guest room. I remember that the security camera was adjusted after what happened three years ago. The contents missing were recorded by that camera," said the guard. He had been working for the Crawford family for years, and he was involved in the adjustment of the security cameras three years ago. That was why he remembered it.

"The guest room..." Susan frowned. The old master had arranged for Luca to stay in that guest room yesterday.

There were guest rooms on the first floor and the second floor. It seemed like the old master had come here to watch what Luca did last night.

What could Luca have done last night? Susan was puzzled, and she asked again, "Can it be recovered?"

"It's been permanently deleted and can't be recovered." The guard shook his head. Luke was the one who hired people to install the security system of Crawford Manor. The expert installed a program on

the computer to protect the privacy of the Crawford family. If one had the administrator password, the deleted surveillance footage could not be recovered.

That way, no matter what happened in the house, there was no way anyone with evil intentions could get the surveillance footage as long as they deleted it in time.

The administrator password was used to delete the footage this time.

"You're nothing but trash." Susan turned around and walked out of the control room after knowing that the security footage could not be recovered. She could not help but wonder what did the old master see that made him delete the footage.

Besides, it seemed like what Luca did was exactly what the old master wanted.

It was because Old Master Crawford had come out with a smile on his face.

Susan headed upstairs and ran into Louis and his wife. She sneered at him and planned to ignore them at the thought of Louis trying to fool her with another jewelry set yesterday.

Yuri nudged Louis with her elbow, asking him to ask for peace.

Louis got Yuri's hint and secretly let out a sigh. He stepped forward and said, "Mom, don't be mad."

Susan turned away from him.

"I contacted the buyer abroad yesterday. We'll be negotiating the price today. I'll get that jewelry set for you," said Louis.

Susan was delighted at once. The unpleasant feelings caused by Luca were gone immediately. She looked at Louis and Yuri and asked, "Really?"

"Yes," replied Louis. Luke had promised to lend him the money to buy the jewelry. That should not be a problem.

"You're not fooling me this time, right?" Susan warned him, worried that he would look for a counterfeiter to make a counterfeit jewelry set to fool her.

"Don't worry. I'll bring it to the jewelry appraiser and let them identify and appraise the jewelry set. It's not going to be a counterfeit." Louis looked at the smile on Susan's face and knew she was not mad at him anymore.

Women were mysterious creatures. She was mad about the jewelry set, and the only thing that could cheer her up was the jewelry set.

However, the price paid to cheer her up was a little heavy.

"That's wonderful." Susan's day was brightened. She looked at Yuri and said, “Why did the two of you wake up late today? I told you so many times that you shouldn't sleep in when Grandpa is at home. You're lucky he didn't complain about anything today."

Louis and Yuri exchanged glances with each other. Louis scratched the back of his neck and said, “We were tired. That's why we slept in."

"Tired?" With her sharp eyes, Susan noticed there were love bites on Yuri's neck. Then, she understood at once. She smiled and said, "That's good. It's a good thing for young people to feel tired. I wonder if there'll be any surprise."

What Susan meant was getting pregnant with another child.

Yuri's face reddened. Louis was not planning to have another child. However, things escalated quickly last night. They had used up all the condoms, and the two of them could not hold themselves back any

longer.

Perhaps there could be a surprise...

“Mom, please excuse us. We're heading downstairs for breakfast," said Louis. He grabbed Yuri's hand and walked into the dining room.

Susan was pleased as she had received two pieces of good news this morning.

The first one was about the jewelry set she longed for.

The second was that Louis and Yuri's romantic life seemed to be getting back on track.

Susan hummed a merry little tune as she made her way up the stairs. She was planning to dress up and go out with those rich wives.

After Luke sent Luca and the kids back to the villa, it was almost time to get to the airport. Before he could tell Luca his heartfelt feelings, he grabbed his luggage and hurried to the airport.

Rainie stood at the door. She turned to look at Lanie after watching their father leave and said, “Big Brother, should we inform Uncle Zander to pick us up?"

“Let's tell him," said Lanie in a cool and distant manner.

Luca asked, “Where are you going?"

“Ms. Luca, today's Saturday. We have to attend a hobby class. Great-grandpa signed us up for it last month." Rainie smiled. Their father's leg was injured at that time, and they were sent back to Crawford Manor.

That was when Old Master Crawford signed the kids up for a hobby class to distract their attention so that they could find out and develop their hobbies and interests during their free time.

Rainie was signed up for a painting class, while Lanie attended an astronomy class. As for Tommy, Old Master Crawford signed him up for a calligraphy class to train his character.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2148-Luca nodded. She did not expect the old master to sign up for a class for the kids.

"There's no need to trouble Uncle Zander. I'll send you there. Wait a minute. I'm going to get the car keys." Luca turned around and headed to the living room to get the keys.

Although it was difficult to drive on a snowy day, she had been driving often lately. That was why she was confident to take up the job.

Lanie and Rainie nodded. They stood still while waiting for Luca.

Tommy was the only one pouting his mouth and following behind Luca. "Ms. Luca, I don't want to go to class. Can I stay?"

"Why?" Luca picked up the car keys and looked at him with confusion. Were they not the ones who chose which classes they would be attending?

Tommy's dark pupils were filled with a grievance as he said, "I didn't want to go to that class. But Greatgrandpa said I'm too naughty and need to train my character so I could be calmer. That's why he chose the calligraphy class for me."

Luca nodded to tell Tommy that she understood.

Tommy held onto Luca's thigh. He continued to play the victim when he noticed that Luca did not say anything. "Ms. Luca, calligraphy class is boring. It's all about picking up a pen and writing. The teacher is an old man with a beard. What a bore! You're not working today. Why don't I stay home and keep you company?"

Luca looked at the child who was trying hard to negotiate with her just because he did not want to go to class. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. Although she felt great having the kids by her side, she had to let the kids attend their classes.

It was the old master's decision, after all. He did it for the children's own good.

"Tommy, you're not a little boy anymore. Great-grandpa arranged this for you for a reason. Be good. Let me send you to class." Luca held Tommy's hand and walked out of the door.

Lanie and Rainie, who had been standing at the door waiting for Luca, exchanged glances with each other and smiled.

Their younger brother was trying to skip class, but unfortunately, their mother did not let him get away with it.

Their mother would not pity them if it was for their own good. She would insist they do it.

Tommy realized that Luca insisted on sending him to class. He had no choice but to strike a pose and look as though he was negotiating in a meeting. “Ms. Luca, I can go to the class, but you have to promise me that you'll pick me up when my class ends!"

Tommy did not want to attend the class. Not only was the class boring, but most importantly, he wanted to keep Luca's company.

"Sure. No problem. But you must behave yourself when you're in class. Listen to your teacher and practice your calligraphy," Luca asked for something in exchange.

"Then I have one more condition." Although Tommy was still young, he got his negotiation skills from Luke. He refused to lose out on anything.

"Say it." Luca waved her hands at Lanie and Rainie, asking them to follow her to the parking lot.

"I'd like to eat your home-cooked meals!" said Tommy. It had been a few days since he last ate Luca's home-cooked food, and he was craving it.

"That shouldn't be a problem as long as you listen to me," said Luca. Tommy would surely cause trouble for the calligraphy teacher during class. She heard Tommy say that the teacher was an experienced calligraphist, but it would certainly be difficult for the teacher to handle kids like him.

Hence, Luca promised Tommy that she would fulfill his wishes when he was negotiating with her. It was to make him behave himself too.

Rainie, who was standing beside her, smiled and said, "Ms. Luca, don't worry. Tommy loves your home- cooked meals. He's going to behave himself." novelbin

Tommy waved his chubby little hands querulously and said, "Rainie, don't you like it too?"

"I do," Rainie admitted. Their mother's home-cooked meals were the best. The delicious food from other countries or the dishes a five-starred restaurant made were incomparable to their mother's home- cooked meals.

"So, you're riding on my coattails, huh?" Tommy was flattered. If it were not for him who negotiated with Luca, Lanie and Rainie would not have had the chance to eat their mother's home-cooked meals either.

"You'll have to behave yourself and not have your teacher complain about you." Rainie adjusted Tommy's cap for him.

"I'm going to be the most well-behaved student in class this time," said Tommy. He would not give his calligraphy teacher a chance to complain about him.

Luca did not know if she should laugh or cry when she heard that. She opened the door of the backseat and said, "Come on, get in the car or you'll be late for class."

The three kids climbed into the car.

Luca drove the car and sent the kids to their classes. After Luca dropped them off at the entrance, she watched them enter the building before turning around and leaving.

Luca got back into the car. When she was about to drive back to the villa, Nina called.

"Luca, I heard that you're back in the city!" Nina exclaimed the moment the call was answered.

"Yes. I've already been here for a few days." The way Nina sounded reminded Luca of people who were in high spirits when something good happened to them. Nina was having a good time now.

She did not sound as upset as she was before. It seemed like she made the right choice by choosing Percy.

At least Percy was able to give her a happy life, so she was not as gloomy as she used to be.

“How could you not look for me when you're back here?" Nina could not help but complain. Although Nina had only known Luca not long ago, she was unexpectedly fond of her. Besides, Luca had been a great help to her. Nina could not help but want to grow closer with her.

"I'm sorry. I've been busy..." Luca replied helplessly. She had been busy with the research after she came back. Moreover, she did not even have the time to send the gifts she had prepared for Nina and Sue. Luca remembered that she would not be going to the office today, so she might as well just ask Nina out. "Nina, why don't we hang out?"

"Sure. I have something for you. Where would you like to meet?" Nina was thinking of meeting her today when she called her. She wanted to give Luca her engagement gift.

Although Luca did not attend Nina and Percy's engagement ceremony, Nina still wanted to give Luca the gift.

"Shall we meet at the hospital? I'd like to check on Tyrone's condition," said Luca. She had been planning to do so, but she never had the time.

Luca wanted to find out whether the dry needling technique that she taught Dr. Wood was working on Tyrone and check if there was a need to amend the treatment plan.

Nina thought of meeting Luca at a cafe or where she was staying. She did not expect Luca to suggest they meet at the hospital.

Furthermore, it had to do with Tyrone.

Nina could feel that Luca cared for her and was trying her best to help her.

"Alright. I'll see you at the hospital," said Nina.

"It might take half an hour for me to get there. I'm going back to the villa to get some stuff." Luca told Nina to take her time and that there was no need to rush to the hospital.

"Got it. I'll wait for you.'' Nina hung up the call after that.

Luca drove back to the villa and brought Nina's gift along with her. She pondered for a moment and thought she should just bring Sue's gift too. She was thinking of asking Sue out if she had the time later.

Luca made her way down to the first floor while carrying a few gift bags. She said to Aunt Neile, who was cleaning up the house, "Aunt Neile, I'm going out to meet my friends. And I'm probably not coming back for lunch."

"Okay, Ms. Craw," Aunt Neile nodded and replied.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2149-"By the way, I promised the kids that I'll be preparing dinner tonight, so please don't prepare dinner. I'll come back to cook." Luca informed Aunt Neile so that she would not prepare dinner in advance.

The kids were picky with their food. They would know who prepared the meal with just a bite. Luca was trying to prevent them from wasting food.

"Alright. I got it. Ms. Craw, drive safely," said Aunt Neile with a smile on her face. She appreciated that Luca would always inform her of things in advance.

This could prevent her efforts and time from being wasted.

Luca nodded, indicating that she heard her. Then, she turned around and walked out of the villa. After Luca put the gift bags into the car, she was ready to drive to the hospital. Her phone notification suddenly rang, telling her that she had received a message.

Luca picked up her phone. It was a message from Luke.

[Boarding now.] Those simple words seemed to throb in Luca's heart.

Luke was telling her where he was. Although he sounded indifferent, he was informing her of his schedule and his whereabouts so that she would not be worried.

Luca held her phone, her fingers slightly trembling when she typed on the keyboard: [Okay. Have a safe journey.]

She liked this feeling...

It was dull, but it truly made her feel that Luke cared about her. They were like a pair of lovers or a couple.

However, Luca did not accept Luke's feelings or say she was willing to be in a relationship with Luke.

She had no idea if it was because of the chemistry between them last night that made him do this, but she enjoyed having Luke's attention.

Luke replied: [Okay. I'm turning off my phone.]

Luca did not reply to him. Luke was on the plane now. He would have to wait until he got off the plane to be able to see her reply.

Luca put her phone aside and drove to the hospital.

She asked where Tyrone's ward was when she reached the hospital. Then, she hurried to his ward.

"Luca, here." Nina knew Luca had reached the hospital. Hence, she waited for her outside the ward.

Luca nodded and came forward. "Have you been waiting?"

“No. I just came here. Let's go in," replied Nina as she pushed the ward door open.

Tyrone was sitting on the bed watching TV, while Mrs. Hugh was sitting beside him, peeling an apple.

Mrs. Hugh's expression was calm when she saw Nina walking in. Although Tyrone was getting better, she had never been nice to the sister of the person who injured him. novelbin

Keith was the one who taught her to do that.

He told Mrs. Hugh not to smile at Nina or be nice to her and the others even though Tyrone was getting better. Otherwise, they would think that they could treat them like a doormat. Then, they would stop providing Tyrone with the best treatment.

"Hello, Mrs. Hugh. Are you peeling the apple for yourself?" Nothing came across Nina's mind when she saw Mrs. Hugh's expression.

After all, Jean was the one who injured Tyrone first. It was normal for Mrs. Hugh to give her that dirty look.

"This is for Tyrone. The doctor said he's physically weak. He needs to eat fruits to replenish his health," said Mrs. Hugh. She handed the apple to Tyrone.

Tyrone took the apple from her and took a bite.

Nina felt helpless. The doctor told them that Tyrone's condition was stable a week ago. He was allowed to be discharged from the hospital, and he only needed to come back to the hospital for his physiotherapy.

However, Tyrone refused to be discharged from the hospital. Tyrone and his mother thought that the hospital was the safest place.

Nina did not ask them to have Tyrone be discharged from the hospital after listening to what they said. However, she wondered if they would feel depressed being cooped up in the hospital for another day or two, but it seemed like they were having a vacation.

Nina turned around and looked behind her. Luca walked in and frowned when she saw Tyrone leisurely lying on the bed.

Mrs. Hugh's attitude changed when she saw Luca. "Oh, Ms. Craw, what brings you here?"

"I'm here to check on how Mr. Hugh is doing with his recovery," said Luca.

Nina thought it was funny when she saw Mrs. Hugh's attitude changing in a second. Luca was the one who saved Tyrone, and Nina's brother was the one who injured Tyrone.

However, it could not be said that Jean was the one who injured Tyrone. After all, the two of them had argued and fought each other. Jean had gotten injured too, but Tyrone was the unlucky one. The glass shards got into his brain and moved a little, which affected his nerves.

Both of them were in the wrong, but Jean made the biggest mistake.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Luca had left a good impression on Mrs. Hugh. Even though she was not a doctor, she gave the impression that she was better than the doctors in the hospital.

Mrs. Hugh rose to her feet and grabbed the apple in Tyrone's hands. Then, she turned to look at Luca, "How are you going to do it?"

"They're just simple check-ups. All you have to do is to listen to me," Luca came forward and looked Tyrone in the eyes, "Got it?"

Tyrone's nerve damage had recovered a little after going through the dry needling treatment and the medical treatment given by the hospital. That was why he could respond faster. He nodded and agreed.

Luca began to check on Tyrone.

Tyrone was cooperative as well.

Luca noticed some problems after checking him. She picked up her phone and jotted down some notes.

Nina, who was standing beside her, asked, "What's wrong?"

“Nothing. I'm just taking notes. I might have to change some of the acupoints for his dry needling treatment. It's going to be more effective.” Luca comforted Nina, and she was telling Tyrone and his

mother that there was nothing to worry about.

"It's not a big deal, right?” Mrs. Hugh asked immediately when she heard that.

"It's nothing. No matter what kind of treatment it is, we'll have to adjust it according to the patient's condition. Is Dr. Wood on duty today?" asked Luca. Although Luca had come back from Russia now, she was not one of the doctors working in this hospital.

It was troublesome to ask Johann to give her permission. Besides, Luca was busy with her work too. That was why it was better to leave the dry needling treatment to Dr. Wood.

Nina pursed her lips and said, "Let me ask.”

Nina had added Dr. Wood's contact details to her phone as she wanted to know how Tyrone was doing and his condition anytime she wanted.

She walked out of the ward and gave Dr. Wood a call.

When Dr. Wood found out that Luca had come to the hospital and was looking for him, he informed the medical director immediately and headed to Tyrone's ward.

"Dr. Craw, you're here!" Dr. Wood was impressed with Luca now. It was a pity Luca was not a doctor.

Dr. Wood would learn from her no matter what it took if Luca were a doctor.

Every time Dr. Wood used the dry needling method Luca taught him, Tyrone seemed to get better. The effects were much better than he expected.

Dr. Wood was very impressed.

Luca nodded and went on without saying any pleasantries, "I've adjusted the treatment plan for Mr. Hugh. May I know if you're available now, Dr. Wood?"

"Yes," answered Dr. Wood.

"Then, should we start now?" asked Luca. The acupoints that needed to be adjusted were slightly different from the previous ones. She had to guide Dr. Wood to insert the needles into the correct points.

"Alright. I've got a new set of needles here." Dr. Wood took a set of new needles out of his coat and handed it to Luca.

Luca took it from him and turned to look at Nina. "Nina, I'll leave the video recording to you this time, okay?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2150-Johann was not here. Luca could not guarantee that Dr. Wood would be able to remember it after she taught him. That was why she asked Nina to record a video so that Dr. Wood could watch the video after this.

"Sure." Nina took her phone out. Although she thought looking at the needles pricking into the flesh was painful and cruel, Luca was the one who asked for her help, so she would definitely help out.

Luca opened the new set of needles. She began inserting the needles after Mrs. Hugh went out of the ward.

Dr. Wood was standing beside her, learning seriously while listening to Luca's explanation.

Nina was stabilizing her hands while holding the phone and recording the process of Luca inserting the needles into the acupoints.

Nina glanced at Tyrone. He did not seem like he was in pain looking at his expression. She could not help but whisper to herself how miraculous it was.

Even though the needles were fine and thin, it usually hurt when one was pricked with them. However, there was no change in Tyrone's expression even when there were so many needles being inserted into his body. It was as though nothing was pricking him.

20 minutes later, Luca took the disposable gloves off and looked at Dr. Wood. "You'll have to use this method to treat Mr. Hugh. It's just like how I did just now."

"Alright. No problem." Dr. Wood was confident. Although Luca was inserting the needles in different acupoints, there were not many changes. Besides, he had the video with him, so he thought it would not be a problem.

Nina saved the video and sent it to Dr. Wood. Then, she said, "Dr. Wood, I've sent you the video."

"Okay. Sorry to trouble you. Thank you." Dr. Wood did not check his message in the first instance. Although the dry needling process was finished, he had other things to do.

Dr. Wood pushed the electrical stimulation machine beside him nearer to the bed and began to connect the needles via cables to the machine.

Luca was beside him, guiding him where changes were needed.

"Do I have to record this?" Nina asked.

"No. Just take a photo of it after it's done," Luca replied while she guided Dr. Wood.

A few minutes later, Dr. Wood turned on the machine. The electric current passed through the needles and into Tyrone's body. Then, he regulated the voltage.

Luca asked Tyrone, “How do you feel?"

"It doesn't hurt," Tyrone replied slowly.

Luca nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. I'll check on you again after some time. I'll see if you need any adjustments."

Dr. Wood was impressed with Luca's treatment plan, and he could not help but ask, "Dr. Craw, do you take apprentices?"

He would like to learn all the needling techniques from her. After all, these could not be found in the books.

"I'm not a proper naturopathist. There's no way I'm taking in any apprentices." Luca shook her head helplessly and signaled Nina to take a photo.

"Sigh. I was wondering if I could learn from you." Dr. Wood was disappointed even though he was not expecting anything.

"Dr. Wood, Luca's very busy. It'd be better if you drop the idea," Nina replied with a smile on her face. She put her phone back in her pocket after sending the photo to him.

Dr. Wood smiled embarrassingly and said, "I was just asking."

Luca looked at Tyrone and changed the subject of the conversation, "You're supposed to be discharged from the hospital. Why are you still in the hospital?"

Tyrone blinked his eyes. There were needles on his face too, and he could not speak. He turned to look at Dr. Wood, signaling him to explain it to him.

"Our senior doctor and medical directors think that Mr. Hugh can be discharged from the hospital too. He can just come back to the hospital for his physiotherapy. But he and his family want him to stay here for the treatment. They claim that it's to ensure their safety. Perhaps they're traumatized after everything that happened." Dr. Wood made it simple. He believed that Luca was smart enough to understand the undertone in his words.

Luca nodded, indicating that she understood.

They had someone paying for their medical bills, and they were staying in the VIP ward. Besides, a sum of money was needed for Tyrone's physiotherapy after this. Luca assumed that they had already found a lawyer. They understood that not only did Nina have to pay for the medical expenses, but she would also have to pay for their living expenses, loss of wages, supplements, and others.

That was why the Hugh family was not in a hurry.

The longer Tyrone stayed in the hospital, the more beneficial it was to them. As for Nina, things did not look so well for her.

Money and wealth were worldly possessions, but it was tiring when Tyrone was delaying everything and insisting on staying in the hospital.

10 minutes later, the treatment had ended. Tyrone sat up on the bed after Dr. Wood removed the needles.

Luca asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

If it were another doctor, Tyrone might pretend there were minor problems on certain parts of his body or claim that he felt uncomfortable like how Keith had taught him.

However, Tyrone dared not to do that in front of Luca. He knew this woman was capable and he probably could not deceive her even if he lied to her.

He shook his head and replied, “Not for now."

“Then there shouldn't be a problem. Ask his family to come in."

Dr. Wood went to open the door when he heard that.

Luca said to Nina, “Nina, is there anything else you need to do?"

“No. Let's go." Nina hated the smell of the disinfectant. That was why she could not wait to leave the hospital once the treatment had ended.

Luca nodded.

Mrs. Hugh walked into the ward and heard Nina talking about leaving. She sneered at her with dissatisfaction.

Nina grabbed Luca's hand and left the ward immediately. She turned around and looked behind her when she reached the elevator. Then, she let out a sigh of relief, “That old woman is weird."

“Why is she so unhappy?" Luca noticed Mrs. Hugh's reaction just now. Although she hated Nina, she seemed unhappy when Nina suggested that they leave the hospital.

"She thinks that I'm supposed to take care of Tyrone when my brother is the one who injured her son," Nina said helplessly.

“She can hire a caretaker..." said Luca.

"I told her to hire a caretaker too. But I have no idea who told that old woman that the caretaker wouldn't take care of Tyrone well. Besides, I'll be paying for the costs of hiring a caretaker. Hence, she chose to take care of Tyrone herself and told me to give her the caretaker's salary," explained Nina. She had explained this to Mrs. Hugh a few times, but she refused to listen to her. Nina could not be bothered to explain to her anymore.

Luca understood, and she felt as helpless as Nina.

The elevator reached the floor, and the elevator doors opened. The two of them got into the elevator.

Luca asked another question, “What about Jean? How is he doing now?"

"I was thinking of asking the police officer to detain him. After all, I have to teach him a lesson after he caused such big trouble. But I don't know who told my mother about this, so she cried and made a scene out of it. She even said she wanted to end her life unless I bailed him out. She eventually passed

out the last time she did that. I had no choice but to bail him out. He seems to be behaving himself now because the previous matter hasn't been completely settled yet. But." Nina hesitated.

“But what?" Luca questioned while looking at the numbers that gradually went down as the elevator descended. She had a feeling that many things had happened while she was away.

"He got back together with his ex-girlfriend, Marie Rayne, after I bailed him out of jail." Nina held her forehead, feeling troubled.

She knew what kind of person Marie was, but it was as though Jean had been bewitched by her this time.

Jean would never listen to Nina, but he might choose to listen to his mother.

However, Anna's health was in bad condition, and she did not like Marie either. She detested her. That was why Nina dared not to tell her mother about this.
