Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2231-Matysh knew Luke was the one who sent the car, but he was unhappy with Marcos' explanation.

“No way. Tell that kid that I want the chauffeur to follow me around," Matysh said in an overbearing manner. He was unconcerned that his target was Luca and she had something going on with Luke.

Bill would take care of it, after all.

Marcos knew why Matysh did not agree to his arrangements and said, "The chauffeur I've hired drives a Rolls-Royce too."

As a big city with a booming economy, A City had never been short of wealthy people. That was why it was easy to rent a Rolls-Royce here. novelbin

Mandy, who was listening to their conversation, was secretly surprised.

How easy it was for them to rent a Rolls-Royce. It seemed like her Russian friend was right. Matysh's family was rich.

It was a pity that she could never have the chance to marry into such a wealthy family. She could only seize the chance to curry favor with Matysh.

Matysh frowned. He wanted to throw a tantrum, but Marcos' arrangements were perfect for him. He had no reason to be mad at him.

"Miss, those eyes of yours look familiar to me^" Marcos' gaze fell on Mandy.

Mandy stood up straight and held her head up high. She even tucked her hair behind her ears. Her heart skipped a beat when the man's gaze fell on her.

"That's just your imagination. Is there anything you want to tell me?" Matysh said impatiently.

"No. I'm going back to pack my stuff." Marcos refused to stay for another second here. He hated the strong smell of the perfume on Mandy's body.

"Get lost. Stop bothering me," Matysh took a sip of the red wine with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Marcos turned around and left without looking at Mandy.

Mandy could not help but step forward, looking at his tall figure from behind.

Matysh noticed Mandy's gestures, then he frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mandy came back to her senses. She knew that Matysh was a ruthless man, so she dared not to admit that she was charmed by Marcos. She explained, "I'm going to close the door."

Matysh did not say a word.

Marcos left the suite, and Mandy quickly closed the door. She headed to the sofa, sat down, and snuggled up to Matysh. Then, she asked, “Mr. Matysh, was he your nephew?"

“No," Matysh denied it.

Mandy was startled for a moment, then asked, “But I heard him calling you Uncle?"

Although Mandy could not speak Russian, she could understand the language. After all, she had lived abroad for some time and could understand a few languages. However, she sounded weird when she spoke foreign languages. That was why she seldom spoke in other languages.

Matysh narrowed his eyes and asked, “You can understand Russian?"

“Yes, but I don't know how to speak Russian. I know a lot of people..." Mandy spoke in a whiny manner.

“He has the blood of a lowlife in him and doesn't deserve to be my nephew," Matysh said disdainfully. Marcos was nothing but a tool to his family. He did not deserve to be acknowledged.

Mandy's brows slightly furrowed. Why did it sound like things were way more complicated than it was?

At the same time, Marcos heard what Matysh said.

Andy had heard it clearly as well as Marcos did not put on the earphones this time. He was worried as he looked at his boss, “Boss."

“It's nothing," replied Marcos. He slowly turned off the bugging device and returned to his bedroom.

Matysh said that he had the blood of a lowlife in him.

However, Matysh had inappropriate ideas toward his mother before. How dare he call her a lowlife.

The day would come when he would make them regret everything that they had done in the past.

Andy watched his boss from behind and shook his head helplessly. Marcos had been enduring all these alone ever since. He truly hoped that someone could stand by Marcos' side and keep him company.

That way, he would not look lonely.

"Andy," Marcos suddenly called his name.

“Boss, is there anything you need?" Andy immediately asked.

“Tell Luke about Matysh and the woman he invited to his suite who looks like Luca," Marcos instructed.

“Yes, Boss." Andy picked up his phone and immediately made a call.

Luca drove back to the villa, parked the car, and got out of the car together with Luke.

Although Luke enjoyed drinking with Marcos, he did not drink a lot. He did not need anyone to help him stand.

Aunt Neile left the garden's lights on as the two of them had gone out. It gave off an entirely different atmosphere to see the pale yellow lights on the white snow.

Luke slightly frowned.

Luca thought it was because Luke had been drinking too much and that was why he felt uncomfortable. She asked in a soft voice, “Mr. Crawford, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

“No. It's just that I didn't feel anything when I was drinking the beer. But I can smell the alcohol now and it's disgusting," Luke frowned and explained. The beer was not expensive, but he enjoyed drinking it with Marcos and did not think much about it.

He did not expect that he could not get used to the smell of it.

“You don't usually drink beer. Let me make you some tea to relieve your discomfort," said Luca as she walked into the house together with him.

It was warm in the house. Luca slightly narrowed her eyes, helped Luke to take off his coat, and hung it on the coat rack. After that, she took her coat off.

Luke saw her gestures and imitated her.

Luca did not say anything. She headed straight to the kitchen and prepared the tea for Luke.

It warmed Luke's heart when he saw Luca walk into the kitchen to prepare the tea for him. He sat down on the sofa and waited for her to finish preparing the tea. They would head upstairs together after he

drank it.

A message notification ringtone rang right after Luke sat down.

Luke glanced at his phone. It was a message from Andy. Andy told him that Matysh had found a courtesan who looked like Luca to keep him company.

[Noted.] Luke put his phone aside after replying to him with a simple message.

What Andy told him reminded him of the woman he met in the elevator today.

It was indeed Matysh who found that woman. She was a substitute to replace Luca.

It looked like Matysh was deeply obsessed with Luca.

Luke's gaze darkened. He was unhappy to know that there was a man who had inappropriate ideas toward his woman.

Perhaps he did not have to wait for Matysh to make his move after Marcos left. He should deal with him right away.

After all, it was considered helping Marcos too...

To be precise, Marcos owed him a favor.

Although Marcos was well-mannered in front of the others, Luke knew they were the same kind of people.

They would never let others hurt those who mattered to them and get away with it easily. Merciless was the right word to describe them when they sought revenge for their loved ones.

Luca brought the tea out and saw Luke sitting on the sofa. A shadow was cast upon him under the dimly lit lights. She blinked her eyes, and she had this feeling that Luke was planning something evil.

She walked toward him, placed the cup of tea on the coffee table, and said, "Mr. Crawford, tea is ready."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2232-The cup of tea placed in front of Luke smelled good. Luke knew the churning alcohol smell in his stomach would stop once he drank it.

However, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he patted the seat beside him and said, “Take a seat."

Luca noticed that Luke had something to tell her. Hence, she sat down on another sofa. It was late at night. Nina and the kids were already in bed, and it was quiet. However, she still kept a suitable distance away from Luke.

Luke did not force her to sit beside him. Her nerves would be on edge as long as Nina was still around.

"Matysh found a woman to accompany him. And that woman has a pair of eyes that look like yours," said Luke.

Luca looked down, feeling helpless.

It was not a good thing. That would only show how much Matysh desired and wanted Luca. She replied in a soft voice, "Okay."

"If something happens to you, don't hide it from me. You have to tell me. Although he's not a local, he approached a criminal organization for help. That's why it's not easy to deal with him," Luke reminded her with a solemn look on his face.

If he had been more careful and determined back then, Luca would not have ended up in this situation today.

Therefore, Luke could not bear the pain of losing her again.

Luke's voice was stern and serious as he was trying to let her know how serious the matter was.

Luca nodded and replied, "Don't worry. I'm not a child. I know I can't solve this all by myself. I'll never hide anything from you."

Luke let out a sigh of relief. He was unable to take the weight off his mind whenever it was something related to Luca. Fortunately, Luca had given him her word.

The tension in his heart was relieved a little.

Luca shot a glance at the cup of tea that had almost cooled down and reminded him in a soft voice, "Mr. Crawford, drink the tea while it's still warm. It won't be that effective once it gets cold."

Luke picked up the cup of tea and gulped it down.

The warmth of the tea flowed into his stomach, warming up his heart too. Although it did not produce an immediate effect, Luke felt much better.

After Luke finished drinking the tea, he placed the cup on the coffee table and glanced at the time. It was getting late.

"Let's go upstairs, clean ourselves up, and get some rest. Aunt Neile will clean up tomorrow," said Luke.

“Okay," Luca nodded. The two of them made their way up the stairs.

It was quiet on the second floor. Nina and the kids had fallen asleep. They tiptoed their way to the bedroom when they reached the second floor.

Although Luke had moved some of his toiletries to Luca's bedroom this morning, his clothes were still in his room. Hence, he did not follow Luca back to her bedroom and returned to his bedroom first.

Luca walked into her bedroom. She turned on the lights and unconsciously looked at the bed, only to realize that Aunt Neile had changed Luke's pillowcase so that it was the same as hers when she cleaned up her room today.

The pillow's color no longer looked odd in her room. It was as though it was supposed to be in her bedroom.

Luca's face was slightly burning.

That would only mean Aunt Neile had already found out about them...

Luca closed the door. She was not worried that Aunt Neile would report it to Old Master Crawford. After all, Old Master Crawford had been using different methods such as giving her herbal tea and tonic to fix her up with Luke.

If Old Master Crawford found out about it, he would not be mad. He would be happy to hear it.

However.

Luca looked at the color of the pillowcases which were the same as her bed sheet. She wondered how much Old Master Crawford knew about her and Luke.

Why would he agree and why would he even have the thought of bringing her and Luke together?

The old master had always kept an upright outlook on life, and family values were very important to him. He would never allow the younger generation to fool around with others after getting married. Although he adored Luke, his perspective on such matters was the same.

That was why Luca was unable to figure it out.

She took out a set of pajamas from her closet and walked into the bathroom.

Luca was planning to wash her hair today. She remained in the bathroom for a while after taking a shower. After she dried her hair and did a hair treatment, she walked out of the bathroom.

Then, she realized that Luke was already sitting on her bed, reading the book he was reading yesterday.

Luca knew Luke would sit there and sleep with her regardless of how hard she tried to get him out of the bedroom.

Thus, she did not say anything. She secretly prayed that Nina would not find out about them tomorrow. Luca did not get onto the bed. Instead, she sat on the dressing chair and began to slowly apply her skincare products on her face. The weather was cold, and the air was dry. If she did not apply skincare on her face, her skin would not be able to stand the dryness in the air.

Previously, when she was on the Island of Despair, the skincare she applied was made by Shanks.

Even though she knew the recipe, she hardly had any time to make it herself after getting out of the island. That was why she could only buy some skincare products for herself.

Of course, the ones she bought outside were not as good as the ones she made.

Luca took her time, and Luke did not rush her either. He turned the pages while waiting for her.

No matter how slowly her skin absorbed the skincare, her skin would eventually absorb it completely. Luca had no choice but to stand up and walk to the other side of the bed. She lifted the blanket and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm going to sleep first."

"Don't you find it strange?" Luke closed his book. After he watched her lay down on the bed, he leaned over on the bed and said in a low voice.

"What?" Luca was surprised, and she could not understand what he meant at that moment.

Luke toyed with her hair. She had just washed it. Her hair was much smoother than it was this morning. Her hair would fall straight when he coiled her hair with his fingers.

It was just like her.

He was lying right next to her now, but it was as though he did not truly have her. He even had this feeling that she was uncatchable.

"There's only the two of us in this bedroom, but the way you're calling me makes me feel like we're in the office," Luke's deep voice carried a hint of huskiness. His fingers continued to toy with her hair.

Luca felt a numb feeling going down her spine. What Luke said forced her to open her eyes and look at the man in front of him.

"Mr. Crawford." Her voice sounded a little hoarse too.

"We're not in the office or the company. There's no one else here," Luke complained with dissatisfaction as he ran his fingers through her hair. He combed her hair for her.

Luca fell silent. What else could she address him other than Mr. Crawford?

Besides, did she have the privilege to do so?

Luke replied with patience, "Call my name.."

"L-Luke," Luca paused for a moment and called his name.

Luke was still unhappy with it. The way she called him sounded distant, but it sounded much better than Mr. Crawford.

Luke knew he should not be in a hurry. He had to slowly guide her and let her get used to it. Therefore, he nodded and said, "That sounds much better. Keep in mind that you're not allowed to address me as Mr. Crawford when there's no one else. Otherwise..."

There was a hint of affection in his voice in the last few words he uttered, and he also gave her a warning.

Luca had heard this tone before. She was still Bianca back then.

If she refused to listen to him, he would make it difficult for her to get out of bed the next day.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2233-Luke smiled when he looked at Luca from behind. She was trying to avoid him. He turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.

There was a wave of warmth on Luca's waist as Luke wrapped his arms around her. He said, "Good night."

It was as though his deep and husky voice was expressing his gentleness.

‘Good night..'

Luca muttered in her heart and quietly closed her eyes.

Luca never had any problems with sleeping when Luke was by her side. She could sleep through the night.

The following day.

Luke had already gotten out of bed when Luca woke up in the morning. She sat up on the bed and listened carefully to her surroundings. No noises were coming from the bathroom. It looked like Luke had already left.

Luca touched the mattress beside her. It was still warm.

Luke had cuddled with her last night. The warmth on Luke's body made her feel like her body was on fire.

Luca was not overwhelmed by the warmth she felt last night. The uneasiness in her reminded her that she should not fall for it. After all, she might be forced to leave Luke at any moment.

After Luca cleaned herself up, she walked out of the bedroom. She noticed that Luke's bedroom door was left ajar. She glanced at the room and happened to see Luke sitting behind his desk, busy handling the documents.

It was probably because they had supper last night, so Luke did not get to finish his work.

Luca slightly furrowed her brows. She fell deeply asleep last night, and she did not even notice what time Luke woke up to work.

Luke could sense that Luca was staring at him and looked up. The moment their gazes met, there was a faint smile on his lips. He said, “Good morning.”

“Good morning..." Luca paused for a moment. "I'm going downstairs to prepare breakfast."

Although Luca slept well last night, she woke up early. The kids were still in bed at this time, and Aunt Neile must be preparing breakfast downstairs.

Luca shifted her gaze away and made her way down the stairs.

Aunt Neile was busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

Luca walked into the kitchen. When she was about to put on the apron and help Aunt Neile, her phone rang.

She took her phone out of her pocket and noticed that it was Queenie calling her.

Luca's heart skipped a beat. Something must have happened if Queenie was calling at this hour.

"Aunt Neile, let me answer this call first," Luca said to Aunt Neile as she headed out.

“Okay, Ms. Craw. Go ahead." Aunt Neile took a quick look behind her and noticed that color was draining from Luca's face.

Luca trotted out of the kitchen and answered the call. "Good morning, Mrs. Norman. Why are you calling me early in the morning?"

Queenie's anxious voice came from the other side of the line as she said, "Oh, Luca. I'm sorry to bother you early in the morning. There's something I need you to help me with."

"Mrs. Norman, do tell." Luca tensed up when she heard Queenie sound so anxious. She replied immediately.

"It's Leia. She had a shock earlier before dawn. Her condition stabilized after the doctor rescued her, but..." Queenie sobbed. She could not utter the last few words at the end of the sentence.

"What did the doctor say?" Luca frowned. If it was about Leia's condition. It was also something Luca was worried about.

After all, she was not by Queenie's side now. Leia was her only emotional support.

If anything happened to Leia, Luca was worried that Queenie would go down the wrong path.

If that happened, it would bring the Norman family a disastrous series of events.

After all, Jack was holding an important position in government now. His position was so high that it was easy to arouse the jealousy and attention of others. Once Queenie stepped on the wrong path, they might immediately get exposed.

That was why Luca was worried if something had happened to Leia.

"The doctor told me that Leia's condition is getting worse every day. But there are limited liver donors in the country and she's still on the waiting list. Based on her situation now, I'm not sure if she can wait until. The doctor said that although there are more liver donors abroad, Leia can't travel on a plane because of her current situation. Luca, you're the only one who can help her." Queenie sobbed.

Luca frowned. Help? How was she going to help her?

Leia was adopted. Everyone in the Norman family, including her, had different blood types from Leia.

"Mrs. Norman, calm down. What I can do for you.." Luca softened her voice and comforted her.

Queenie took a deep breath and looked at Leia, who was surrounded by medical equipment in the ward. If Leia was not that stubborn, she would not have ended up in such a situation now.

The doctor said that Leia's condition had worsened too quickly, and it was Leia who asked for it.

Queenie felt helpless when she heard what the doctor told her, but keeping Leia alive was her priority now.

"The doctor who rescued Leia last night was Dr. Park. He said that you know how to perform dry needling. It might work on Leia. Luca, I beg you, please help Leia. I have only one daughter left now. I can't just watch her die." Queenie begged.

Queenie knew Luca had sensed that she was distancing herself from her because of Luke.

Now, Queenie had to swallow her pride to ask for Luca's help. She was worried that Luca would reject her.

“Is Ms. Norman relying on life support equipment to survive?" Luca asked.

“Yes, Dr. Park got her hooked up to the equipment since last night. He said we'll have to wait until her condition has stabilized the next day. After that, he'll remove the equipment," Queenie sniffed.

"There's nothing I can do if she's still depending on the life support equipment. How about this? I'll go over there later. I'll need another two hours. Everything will be okay. The doctor is looking after her, so

Ms. Norman will be fine." Luca comforted Queenie. She was worried that Queenie would get confused and her health would be affected.

"Okay. I'll be waiting at the hospital," replied Queenie. It all happened so suddenly, and the hospital even issued a notice of critical illness for her. That was why Queenie and Jack went to the hospital together.

Jack was buying breakfast for her downstairs.

"Don't worry. Dr. Park is an experienced and skilled doctor." Luca ended the call after comforting her.

She was no longer in the mood to help Aunt Neile to prepare breakfast. She walked into the kitchen and said to Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, can you please make me a cup of coffee?"

"You're having coffee today? Not milk?" Aunt asked surprisingly.

"No," replied Luca as she shook her head. Although she had enough rest last night, she needed to concentrate to handle Leia's situation.

After Luca informed Aunt Neile, she sent a message to Johann to ask him how Leia's condition was now.

Johann was the one who rescued Leia, after all. He should know her current condition.

Aunt Neile had finished preparing breakfast while Luca was still busy texting Johann. Lanie and the others were awake and they came downstairs.

Nina followed right after the kids. She was surprised to see Luca sitting alone in the living room. Where was Luke?

"Breakfast is ready. You can have your breakfast now," said Aunt Neile.

Luca got to know Leia's current condition after chatting with Johann. She kept her phone and rose to her feet.

Aunt Neile noticed that Luke had not come down yet. She turned to look at Luca and asked, "Ms. Craw, is Mr. Crawford still in bed?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2234-As soon as Aunt Neile finished her sentence, everyone in the dining room turned to look at Luca.

Luca felt helpless for being in the spotlight. Aunt Neile had entered their bedroom and cleaned it up. Of course, she knew that Luke's pillow was not in his own bedroom anymore and had been moved to her bedroom instead.

Luca helped herself with a croissant, trying to look nonchalant as she explained, “Mr. Crawford woke up early. He's working in his bedroom. Aunt Neile, can you please bring breakfast upstairs?"

Aunt Neile nodded, turned around, and strolled into the kitchen.

After a while, she carried a tray that held the breakfast and a cup of coffee. She brought it upstairs for Luke.

Nina, who was sitting at the dining table, shifted her gaze and ate her breakfast as though nothing had happened. The three kids were looking at Luca.

The kids went to bed early last night and woke up late this morning. They had no idea Luke had been sleeping in Luca's bedroom for the past few days.

Luca cleared her throat when she noticed that the kids were staring at her. She said, "Hurry up and finish your breakfast. The weather forecast said that there'll be heavy snow today. Finish your breakfast so that you can get to school earlier."

"Okay." The three kids had their own thoughts. Although they did not wilfully laugh or grin, it was not difficult to see the curves on the corner of their lips. novelbin

Nina could see the smiles on their faces. She felt helpless as there was nothing she could do. If Bianca was never coming back, the kids would treat Luca as their biological mother...

However, Nina thought there was nothing wrong with it.

At least, Luca was kind to the kids. She really liked them from the bottom of her heart, and it was not because their father was Luke.

Upstairs.

Aunt Neile carried the breakfast tray upstairs. When she was about to walk into Luca's bedroom, she noticed that Luke's bedroom door was left ajar. She made her way to his bedroom and glanced inside. The man was indeed sitting inside and working.

"Mr. Crawford, should I bring breakfast in?" She did not enter his bedroom. Instead, she stood at the door and asked.

"Come in," Luke's voice came from inside.

Aunt Neile walked into his bedroom carrying the tray of breakfast. Then, she saw the documents on Luke's desk. She carefully placed the tray on the other side so that it would not get in his way.

“Mr. Crawford, why are you working early in the morning?" Aunt Neile asked caringly, wondering how long Luke had been working with the pile of documents.

"I have more documents to work on," replied Luke. He picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip

Luke followed Luca's routine so that he would not bother Luca, but he woke up at four in the morning to work.

The desk in his bedroom was more comfortable, and he would not wake Luca up. That was why he had been working in his bedroom.

"Then I'll leave you to it. By the way, Ms. Craw answered a call just now and her face turned pale. I'm not sure what happened but the expression on her face told me that something was wrong," Aunt Neile reported to him.

"Okay," Luke did not say another word.

After Aunt Neile served his breakfast, she carried the tray away and left.

Luke did not stop working, and he continued to handle the documents.

Downstairs.

After breakfast, Luca thought of sending the kids to school. After that, she would head to the hospital. However, she thought it would be better to head upstairs first when she remembered that Luke was still upstairs.

Nina smiled when she looked at Luca from behind. She was holding Rainie's hand on her left and Tommy's hand on her right. She said, "Come on. Let me see you off and help you to get into the car."

The kids turned around and took a quick look at Luca from behind without saying anything. Then, they followed Nina out of the house.

Luca came upstairs. She stood at the door and slowly said, "Mr. Crawford, I'd like to take the morning off. I have to go to the hospital.."

Luke lifted his head, stared at her with a hint of worry in his eyes, and asked, "Are you not feeling well?"

"It's not me. It's... one of my friends. I'll have to visit her," answered Luca.

She could not mention Leia's name in front of Luke. Hence, she could only tell him that it was a friend of hers.

Even though she did not mean to hide it from him, she felt a little guilty for doing so.

However, she had promised Queenie that she would not tell the others that Leia was receiving medical treatment here.

"Okay. Ask Warren to go along with you." Luke did not stop her.

Luca was heading to the hospital. It was probably because of Leia's matter. Johann would always inform Luke about Leia's health condition.

Hence, Luke received a message from Johann this morning, telling him that something unexpected had happened to Leia last night. However, her condition was stable now.

Still, it was Leia's fault for putting herself in such a situation. Her health condition was worsening now.

"Okay. I'll go first." Luca let out a sigh of relief when Luke did not continue to question her.

She headed downstairs and left the villa. After getting into Warren's car, she told him to head to the hospital.

Warren responded and said nothing more. He drove the car and headed in the direction of the hospital.

Luca called Rhett and arranged the work they needed to do this morning. After she arrived at the hospital, she gave Queenie a call.

“Luca, are you coming soon?" Queenie sounded anxious after she answered the call.

“Mrs. Norman, I'm currently downstairs at the inpatient department. Is Ms. Norman's ward on the top floor now?" Luca asked.

"Yes, yes. I'll go get you," Queenie let out a sigh of relief. The doctor had removed the life support equipment half an hour ago. After checking on Leia, he told her that although Leia was stable now, he could not guarantee that she would be fine. Something might happen to her anytime.

That was why Queenie had been waiting for Luca to come to the hospital.

It seemed like she was only able to find peace of mind when Luca was here.

After Queenie ended the call, she said to Jack, "Dear, Luca's here. Why don't you go pick her up at the elevator?"

They were at the VIP ward. Luca would not be able to come in without the family's permission.

"Okay. I have to go to work. If anything happens to Leia, just call me. I'll come over," Jack reminded Queenie as he shot a glance at Leia, who was in the ward.

Although Leia was in a critical condition now, Jack had work to do and could not possibly leave his work undone. He had to go to work.

"Okay..." Queenie frowned. Leia was in such a bad condition now, yet Jack insisted on going to work. Although Queenie thought it was inappropriate to do so, there was nothing she could do about it.

After all, what Leia did in the past had broken Jack's heart.

Luca took the elevator and came upstairs. She saw Jack once she walked out of the elevator.

Jack looked tired. There were dark circles under his eyes. Luca reckoned that he must have stayed up all night because of Leia.

A grown-up man like Jack was in such a condition, not to mention Queenie.

"Mr. Norman." Luca's voice was a little hoarse. She was heartbroken to see her parents spend so much time and energy dealing with these at their age.

Jack looked at her and helplessly let out a sigh. His biological daughter was the most filial child, but he could not acknowledge her now. He was heartbroken, and he said, "Luca, you're here. Sorry to trouble you again this time."

"It's okay. But Ms. Norman's condition is worsening too quickly. I can only do my best," Luca dropped a hint that she could not be so sure about Leia's health condition.

Jack nodded, understanding what she meant. He was already disappointed in Leia. He only came here to take care of Queenie. As for Leia, she had been asking for it. It did not matter to him what would eventually happen to her. He replied, "I know. That's why I'm not forcing you to do anything. But there's one thing. I need you to do me a favor."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2235-“Sure. I'll do everything I can to help." Luca's heart was wrenched.

Although Jack and Queenie did not raise her, what happened at that time was involuntary. Luca could understand that. The kinship between them made her unable to reject Jack's request.

"My wife isn't in great condition. Please look after her for me," said Jack. Queenie was the one he was most worried about.

Luca felt even more upset when she heard that.

As their daughter, what she hoped the most was her biological parents could live happily and stay healthy when they were in the latter years of their life. However, Queenie and Jack had to go back and forth to the hospital because of Leia.

"Let me take a look at her." Luca nodded. She was afraid that Queenie would be even more anxious if she did not head there now.

"Okay. Then I'm... going back to the provincial capital first. I have a lot of work to do," replied Jack. He was assured when Luca promised him to look out for Queenie.

It was a pity Jack promised Luke that he would not reveal Luca's true identity to Queenie. Otherwise, he would have told her earlier.

Luca looked at the weariness on his face. She was heartbroken, so she said, "Sure. Don't worry. Remember to get some rest when you have time."

"Don't worry. I'm still able to hold on for another few years. I only hope that Bea can come back earlier." Jack shot her a meaningful glance. The elevator doors were about to close. Jack quickly pressed the button and walked in. Then, he said, "Off you go. Do help me look out for Mrs. Norman."

"Okay." Luca slowly let out a sigh of relief after the elevator doors closed. For a split second, Luca could feel that the way Jack looked at her was as if he was looking at Bianca.

Perhaps it was all in her head.

How could Jack possibly know about her true identity?

Luca headed to Leia's ward. Queenie was standing there waiting for her.

Before Luca could say anything, Queenie came forward and held her hand. "Luca, you're here. Can you please take a look at Leia?"

Luca pulled back and held Queenie's hand. She gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Mrs. Norman, calm down. Let me take a look at her first." "Okay, okay," Queenie repeated the same word twice as she pushed Leia's ward door open.

“Leia was in pain just now, so Dr. Park gave her some painkillers. She's asleep now. Besides, she doesn't look too good to me. Even if someone makes noises beside her, it's hard for her to wake up. I'm really worried... that she won't be able to wake up after this..." Queenie wiped her tears off her face while looking at Leia, who was lying on the ward bed.

"Leia will be fine. She's asleep now, which means her body is recovering. Let me check her pulse," said Luca. To play it safe, Luca disinfected her hands and noticed the disposable gloves that the nurse left there. She put them on without a second thought.

Then, she walked to the ward bed and checked Leia's pulse.

After a while, Luca frowned and rose to her feet.

Queenie asked in a worried tone, “How's Leia doing?"

Luca could not help but feel sorry for Queenie when she saw the worried look on her face, but she dared not to hide it from her. She had no choice but to tell her the truth, "Ms. Norman's health isn't doing well. Has the doctor given her a full medical check-up?"

Leia's situation had worsened so quickly. Luca reckoned that something must be wrong with her immune system.

"Yes. The doctor immediately rescued her when she came here last night. After her situation stabilized, they gave her every health screening that she could do. It's just that some of the results aren't released yet. We'll have to wait until all the staff in the laboratory department hav come to work. Only then will the results be out." Queenie wiped her tears again when she heard Luca tell her that Leia was not doing well.

What did Leia do to suffer all this pain?

"I'm going to Dr. Park's office to talk to him," said Luca. She thought Johann should have Leia's health report.

"You're going to look for Dr. Park? Aren't you going to perform dry needling?" Queenie thought that Luca's dry needling skills were the only way to save Leia now.

Luca slightly furrowed her brows and helped Queenie to sit down on the sofa. She said with a solemn look on her face, “I need to fully understand Ms. Norman's health condition before I make the decision whether or not to perform dry needling on her. If her body is too weak for that."

Luca paused for a moment and bit her lower lip.

“What will happen to her if her body is too weak?" Queenie asked anxiously. The doctors were left with only one choice now, which was to wait for the liver transplant.

However, how could there be so many suitable livers for her.

Unless she got it through the black market.

Leia mentioned the illegal trade of organs in the black market to Queenie several times before when she was still awake, but Queenie insisted on refusing to do so as it would put Jack in a difficult position.

Queenie thought Leia would be fine in the hospital. Who would have known that something like this would happen to her so soon.

“My dry needling technique is different from the traditional acupuncture technique. If I perform the technique on someone with poor health, she might not be able to stand it.." Luca dared not to say anything ominous. She was worried Queenie would think that she was cursing Leia.

“That's why I need to understand her condition before I make any judgments. It won't take long. Mrs. Norman, sit here and wait for me to return, okay?"

Luca's comforting words set Queenie's mind at ease. She looked at the person in front of her with her red puffy eyes and said, “Luca, Leia's life is in your hands."

Luca let go of her hands and secretly let out a sigh. What ability did she have to save Leia?

Leia's condition had come to the point that there was no way any herbal medicine or needling technique could help her recover. The only way was to depend on the life-supporting equipment to keep her alive and wait for the liver transplant...

Luca left in a hurry and headed to Johann's office.

Johann was reading Leia's medical report.

"Dr. Craw, you're here. Did you come to see Leia's medical report?" Johann smiled and asked.

"Yes. Is her medical report out yet?" Luca asked.

Johann handed her Leia's medical history record. Leia's medical reports were clipped in the file. He answered, "They're all out. This is the hard copy report. You need to take a look at her CT scans and some other reports. Let me show you. It's on the computer."

"Thank you." Luca took the medical records from him and read the reports. Although she never attended any professional medical schools, Shanks taught her a lot when she was on the Island of Despair.

"Leia's health is in a critical condition now. Previously, she was still able to get discharged from the hospital when her condition was stable. I'm afraid she'll have to stay in the hospital now. Otherwise, she might pass away when she's on her way back home," said Johann.

Luca frowned and asked, "Why did her condition worsen? Her liver is deteriorating way too fast. Is it because of some other reasons?"

"She asked for it," Johann replied in a lazy tone while he leaned back in his chair.

Fortunately, it was him who was on duty last night. If it were some other doctors, they might not be able to save Leia.

Luca sensed that something must have happened, so she asked, "Did she not cooperate during her treatment?"

"Nah, she did cooperate when she was receiving the treatment, but she made a big mistake yesterday morning," replied Johann. "A woman came to visit her yesterday, and she claimed that she was her friend. Then, the two of them started smoking in the ward. The nurse told me about it. That woman wasn't the only one holding a cigarette between her fingers. Leia was too."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2236-"Smoking?" Luca's voice was raised a few pitches higher. If what Johann said was true, then Leia had really made a big mistake.

Luca knew Leia had the habit of smoking, but she should have quit smoking after knowing that she was sick. She asked, "Hasn't she quit smoking yet?"

"Yes, but she smoked a cigarette after the woman convinced her to do so. That one cigarette almost took her life away. The nurse persuaded her not to smoke in a serious tone. She was unconvinced, but she stubbed out the cigarette when she had smoked half of it. The nurse took the rest of the cigarette out of her ward. The doctor on duty saw it and asked the nurse to keep the rest of the cigarette. If anything happened to the patient, this would be considered evidence. I bet you know why," Johann explained to her.

For someone with a social status like Leia, if something happened to her and the doctor could not find out the reason, everything she did and every meal she took might become the reason.

It was because the doctor on duty yesterday was attentive enough and that was why they were able to know why Leia's condition worsened.

"Was it because of that cigarette?" Luca wondered. She never heard that Leia had any friends here after she came back.

Although Leia had left the entertainment industry, she took advantage of Jack's fame. Hence, many men were willing to be in a relationship with her. However, Leia secretly came back here this time. Luca never saw anyone visiting her. After all, it had been kept a secret when she was admitted to the hospital.

"Yes. The head nurse mentioned this to me after she was rescued. Then, I took the cigarette to the lab and asked them to examine it. Although the cigarette is available in the market, two types of herbs

were added to the cigarette. Here's the result." Johann handed Luca another hard copy report.

Luca knew about herbal medicine and pharmacology. She was able to understand it with just a glance, so Johann did not say anything much about it.

Luca frowned when she looked at the ingredients on the report. Many people were smoking cigarettes for kicks these days. They would add some herbal ingredients to the cigarettes too. People would usually get a thrill after smoking the cigarette, and it worked better than coffee in lifting one's spirits.

However...

The ingredients of the herbs could damage the organs in the human body once they were taken excessively. Although they were herbal ingredients, they also contained poison.

Leia ended up like this only because she smoked cigarettes that were added with the herbs.

"Does that friend of hers intend to harm her?" Luca asked.

"I'm not sure about that, but the nurse told me that Leia seems to know that something was added to the cigarette. She emphasized that it could lift someone's spirits. She can't get it in the market, and she even refused to surrender her cigarette to the nurse at first..." replied Johann. He had seen many patients who had made mistakes that affected their health, but he had never seen someone make such a big mistake.

Luca put the report down and shook her head. The cigarette was not supposed to be so harmful, but Leia was a patient now. Her body's reaction to such things was strong if she used them.

"Dr. Park, do you think I can perform dry needling on her?" Luca asked. She was lacking confidence.

“I think you can give it a try. Actually, other than performing dry needling on her and giving her medications, there's no other way to treat her. Once she stops taking the medications, I assume that

she'll be transferred to the ICU right away,” answered Johann. He believed in Luca's skills.

"Let me give it a try, then.." Luca let out a sigh.

"I requested this document from the director of the hospital. You're allowed to perform the procedure on her now." Johann took the related document out. He knew Luca would not decline Queenie's request.

Queenie wanted to save Leia, and Luca was her only hope.

"You're fully prepared for this," Luca said self-deprecatingly. It would be great if she could help Leia, but if things did not turn out well, she could not bear to see Queenie being sad.

"These are the basics for a doctor." Johann put on his white coat and walked out of his office together with Luca. "I was about to get off work. There's no operation today. Dr. Craw, you don't mind if I learn some techniques from you, right?"

"I don't mind," replied Luca. She thought that she might be able to find some confidence in herself with Johann by her side.

The two of them came to Leia's ward.

Queenie was not the only one in Leia's ward. There was another woman there.

Luca's gaze fell on that woman, and she frowned.

Johann looked at the woman who came and furrowed his brows. Then, he shot a glance at Luca. The woman looked similar to Luca.

However, it was not a strange thing. There were many people in the country, and there could be people who bore a resemblance to another person, especially their eyes.

Besides, this was not how Luca looked in the past. It seemed like that woman had done plastic surgery before. That was why they look similar to each other. It was normal.

"Mrs. Norman, this is." Luca frowned and asked.

"Oh, she's Leia's friend. She came to visit her yesterday." Queenie sniffed. Queenie was worried when she saw Luca and Johann coming here together. She was afraid that they would bring bad news to her.

"Yesterday?" Johann frowned. Leia had been staying in the hospital for such a long time. Other than the Norman family, who was taking care of her, no one else came to visit her. Only one other woman had come to visit her, and that was yesterday.

One cigarette from that woman made Leia end up in this situation. She could no longer easily get out of bed.

Mandy looked at Johann. A hint of admiration flashed across her eyes. She considered herself lucky these days as she kept running into handsome men. Furthermore, they were young, wealthy, and goodlooking men.

“Hello, I'm Leia's friend. May I know what happened to her? Wasn't she doing well yesterday? Why did —" Mandy expressed her concern for Leia.

"You're the one who gave Ms. Norman the cigarette, right?" Luca interrupted her with a cold voice. The woman did not leave a good impression on her.

Mandy was startled for a moment, and she gave Luca a dirty look. Who was this woman? Why was she here questioning her? She was not wearing a white coat, so it looked like she was not a doctor.

"What do you mean?" Queenie frowned and asked. She had no idea what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday, Ms. Norman smoked a cigarette. The cigarette is the reason that caused her liver failure. You're the one who gave it to her, right?" Luca looked at Mandy. This woman had this seductive aura on her as though she could easily charm a man.

However, what Luca hated was not the alluring aura that she gave off but the troubles she had caused for the Norman family.

Mandy was about to deny it when Johann chimed in, "Although there are no security cameras in the ward, cameras are everywhere outside the ward. The nurse who was on duty yesterday can prove it too. Miss, do you know that the cigarette you gave Ms. Norman is the reason why she became like this now?"

Mandy took a step backward and immediately shook her head. "I don't. The cigarette? Leia told me that she was craving a cigarette and she wanted to smoke. I didn't know things would end up like this..."

"You let Leia smoke?" Queenie widened her eyes, refusing to believe what she had heard. The gentleness she used to have was no longer on her pale-looking face, and she questioned Mandy, "How could you let Leia smoke a cigarette when she's already in such a condition?!"

Mandy did not expect a cigarette to put Leia on the verge of death. She slowly explained, "It was just an ordinary cigarette. Besides, cigarettes affect the lungs, not the organs in the human body. Is this the nonsense the doctors are coming up with to shirk the responsibility of failing to save her?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2237-Johann's gaze became sharp at once, then he replied, "Miss, you'll have to be responsible for what you said just now if the hospital looks into this matter. Half of the cigarette Ms. Norman smoked was taken away by the nurse yesterday. She did not throw it away. The laboratory test report came out today. The cigarette contains herbal ingredients that are not added to other cigarettes. It can harm every organ in the human body, which explains Ms. Norman's situation now. It caused her liver to worsen when it was already not functioning properly. You're the one who gave her the cigarette. Now, she's lying on the bed, unconscious. You're responsible for this."

Mandy took a few steps backward, shook her head, and said, "I don't know about that. It was Leia who said she wanted to smoke. Please excuse me. I should leave."

She immediately left after that.

Queenie stomped angrily. Leia told her that one of her best friends who lived abroad had returned yesterday. She had been abroad for many years, so she did not know the situation in the country. That was why she would not inform Luke about her whereabouts.

Queenie thought that Leia would not fuss over getting discharged from the hospital if someone was here to keep Leia company and talk to her.

She did not expect the arrival of this woman to screw things up and put Leia in danger.

As Luca watched Mandy leave from behind, she suddenly remembered what Luke had told her. She frowned and pondered.

“That should be her,” said Johann.

Luca nodded. That woman should be the one who fled, but it was up to Queenie whether she wanted to get even with her for this.

Queenie walked toward Leia's ward bed with reddened eyes. She could not help but sob. “Leia, look at the friends you've found. She's the one who made you sick. What should I do..."

Luca could not bear to hear Queenie sobbing like that. She glanced at Leia, who was lying on the ward bed. It was as though Leia had nothing to do with this.

It was her weak body that made her fall deeply asleep.

"Dr. Park, I'd like to try.." said Luca. She hesitated at first, but she could not bear to see Queenie cry again.

Queenie was her biological mother, after all. Luca hated to see her like this.

"Okay. Did you bring the needles you usually use?" Johann knew Luca had a set of needles that was specially made for dry needling. Luca would feel more comfortable using them.

“Yes..." Luca nodded as she walked toward the ward bed and looked at Leia.

She had no confidence today, but she wanted to wake Leia up so that Queenie would not be worried about her. It was up to Johann how he was going to treat her.

“Luca.." Queenie lifted her head as her eyes welled up with tears.

Luca looked at Queenie's hair. As someone who was always concerned about her appearance, Queenie was worried about Leia to the extent that she could not be bothered about her looks. There were a few strands of gray hair at her temples.

She was a senior official’s wife.

However, she was so pale and haggard now.

“Mrs. Norman, please step out for a moment," said Luca. She was worried that Queenie would pass out when she watched Luca perform the dry needling on Leia.

Queenie was worried that she would affect Luca too. She wiped her tears, quickly walked out of the ward, and closed the door.

Luca took the set of needles out of her briefcase.

“This is my last set of needles. I’ll have to look for the craftsman to customize another set of needles after this," Luca muttered. She did not expect that the needle sets she brought along with her would finish so quickly.

Besides, Luca dared not to ask for the needle sets from Shanks. If Abel found out that she was not carrying out the mission he had assigned her but was doing such things instead, she dared not to imagine what the consequences would be.

However, the needles. Other than the thickness, she had requirements for the weight of the needles too. If the needles did not meet her requirements by a whisker, it would affect her sense of touch.

The most important thing was no matter how good the craftsman was, there was no fixed mold.

“I know a craftsman. He can help to customize the needles. If you’re looking for someone to make a new set of needles, you can pass the needle set to me after this. I’ll ask him if he can make these," Johann suggested.

“Thank you." Luca nodded. Then, she put on the disposable medical gloves and unbuttoned the hospital gown Leia was wearing.

There were no gender differences in front of the doctors. Luca did not ask Johann to go out. Instead, she picked up the disinfected needles and began to perform dry needling on Leia in front of him.

Half an hour later, Luca removed all the needles on Leia's body and carefully put them aside. She said, "Let's see if she can wake up now."

"Why didn’t you wait until she's awake before removing the needles?" Johann asked with confusion.

Luca helped Leia to put on the hospital gown, looked at the monitoring equipment, and replied, "She's too weak. I'm afraid she can't take it."

Johann nodded, indicating that he understood.

There were times when Luca was bold enough. It was just like when she was performing dry needling on Tyrone last time. She did not make any minor mistakes.

However, Luca was also very careful at times. It was probably because the person in front of her was related to Queenie. She was afraid that her boldness would make Queenie cry. That was why she was so careful, and she was not as efficient as she used to be when she was performing dry needling.

Once someone had feelings and something to worry about, the way they handled things would change...

Johann had seen too many of such situations.

“Dr. Park, sorry to trouble you." Luca handed the needle set to Johann after she disinfected the needles.

"I'll try my best. But if the craftsman is unable to make these, then I guess no one else in A City can make these. When the time comes, you might need to ask your guy to look for someone else," said Johann as he took the needle set from her.

Her guy.

Luca's face reddened as Johann teased her. She wondered if sharing secrets was something men would do too.

Otherwise, why would Johann say something like that?

"Please ask Mrs. Norman to come in. She must be worried," replied Luca. She made her way to the door and opened it.

Queenie was waiting outside the door. She asked her immediately as soon as she saw her, "Luca, how's Leia?"

"We'll have to wait now and see if the procedures have any effects on her," answered Luca. She glanced at the time. They only needed half an hour to know if it worked on her.

After all, Leia was weak now. It would take some time for her to wake up.

"If she wakes up, all she has to do is to receive treatments and wait for a liver donor. Then, she'll be fine," Johann added. He mumbled to himself that the precondition was Leia should stop getting herself into trouble.

Leia's condition should not be deteriorating this quickly.

If Leia had taken the medicine prescription Luca gave her or the medicine the hospital gave her back then, she would not have ended up like this today.

After that, Leia constantly asked to be discharged from the hospital before her condition stabilized. This was another reason that aggravated her condition.

In the end, this was what happened to her.

Johann recalled everything she did. He could not help but shake his head. He had seen people who made such stupid mistakes, but Leia was the first one who put herself on the verge of death.

Sure enough, Leia would still be the same despite her getting into the entertainment industry.

"Okay, okay." Queenie listened to them and hurried over to the bed. She sat on the chair with a pale look on her face. She murmured, "Leia, you have to get better. I haven't had the chance to see you get married yet. Hang in there.."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2238-Luca felt a twinge in her heart when she heard what Queenie said.

A mother's wish was to watch their children grow up, settle down, get married, and have children.

As Luca watched Queenie murmur to herself beside Leia's ward bed, she thought that she would probably never have the chance again...

Johann shot a glance at Luca, then he turned to look at Queenie. He fell silent for a moment. It was only when his pager beeped did he stand up and say, “Dr. Craw, call me if you need anything. I have something to do now."

"Okay. Go ahead. Thank you." Luca thanked him for helping her reach out to a craftsman.

Johann waved at her and exited the ward.

Luca kept quiet while she looked at Queenie. She let out a sigh, stood up, and walked to the bedside. She comforted her, "Mrs. Norman, don't worry. I'm sure Ms. Norman will be fine."

Queenie pulled some tissue out of the tissue box on the bedside table and wiped the tears on her face. She looked at Luca with tears in her eyes and said, "Luca, I'm sorry you have to see me like this."

"You're a mother. It's normal to have such reactions," Luca replied and shook her head. She did not think it was embarrassing at all. She felt sorry for her instead.

Queenie let out a sigh and began talking about her past, "My daughter, Luke's wife, was taken away when she was born. We were told that our child didn't make it. That's why I began treating Leia like my biological daughter when Jack and I decided to adopt her. We raised her and gave everything to her. But I didn't expect our daughter would end up like this. Sometimes, when I see Leia in pain, I would question myself if it's because I'm not a good mother. That's why."

Luca's heart ached when she heard Queenie blaming herself for the mistakes Leia did and everything that happened to her. She shook her head.

"If I were a better mother, Leia wouldn't have been forced to get out of the country. She went through so much when she was out there, and she even got to know people like that. What did she do to suffer all this. And my daughter, Bea. There's not even a piece of news from her, and she's still out there wandering alone. I've failed as a parent." Queenie choked with sobs, blaming herself for the suffering and pain Leia went through.

There were a few words on the tip of Luca's tongue, but she understood that as a mother, Queenie did not wish to see her children suffer.

Although Leia was adopted, she had raised her and supported her for more than 20 years. The affection she had for her was true.

Queenie was a kind person. She would not treat Leia differently just because she was an adopted child. She would treat Leia like her biological daughter.

A strict father and a loving mother were the most important figures in a family. Leia was lucky enough to have such a family. Still, she became...

Luca did not know how to answer if someone asked her why Leia had become such a person.

Perhaps Leia became paranoid after getting into the entertainment industry, and that was why she became someone like this.

“Mrs. Norman, stop crying. It'll break Ms. Norman's heart if she sees you like this when she wakes up later," Luca comforted her with a gentle voice while placing her hand on Queenie's back.

If she was still Bianca, she would have many ways to comfort her, but she could not reveal her true identity.

Queenie grabbed a few tissues and wiped her face again. She let out a sigh, then she looked at Luca with her red, puffy eyes. She said, "Luca, I know my daughter of mine isn't the same girl she used to be. She's no longer kind and gentle. Besides, she hasn't been nice to me. Time has gone, and she has changed."

Luca was startled for a moment. Then, she looked at Queenie. Did Queenie find out something?

Queenie continued, “I paid too much attention to Leia and spoiled her when she was growing up, which made her what she is today. Perhaps I should've listened to what the others told me back then—adopt another child to keep Leia company. But I refused to listen to their advice. I thought that having one child was enough. I adored Leia, and I gave her all the affection I had for Bea. I gave her all my love. Bea came back after that, and Leia started being paranoid. It was my fault. I spoiled her. So, tell me, am I wrong."

"There's nothing wrong with loving her.." Luca replied in a calm voice. Leia was the one who chose this path. Queenie's love had nothing to do with this.

Although Leia was a spoiled child, Queenie's and Jack's affection for her only let her grow up in a healthy and happy environment. It would not have made her into this.

Luca's presence was not the main reason that caused Leia to be on this path and come to this.

If Leia could have let go of her obsessive thoughts, she would feel much better.

People said being paranoid would bring someone down, but Jack and Queenie were not such people. It seemed like Leia was born with it. Perhaps it was because she got dumped before, and that was why she reacted that way.

Leia felt insecure, so she wanted to hold on to everything she had.

"She's no longer the person I used to know. She doesn't respect me, and she even thought of ruining her father's future to save her own life. I didn't agree with it, so she blamed me for that and was mad at me. Luca, I've been together with Jack for so many years. How can I cause such trouble when he's about to have a glorious retirement?" Queenie was torn between two choices, but she was conscious of what she was doing.

After all, she could not let Jack do something wrong for the sake of Leia.

Jack was not an ordinary person. He was the governor of the province, and everyone in the provincial capital had their eye on his position.

If Queenie did what Leia asked her to do, Jack's future would be ruined. Not only would his future be ruined, but the Norman family and the rest of Jack's life would be destroyed too.

Jack would be caught, handcuffed, and sent to prison.

Luke had explained the pros and cons to Queenie before. Hence, no matter how Leia fussed around, Queenie insisted on doing it legally.

After all, Jack was not young anymore. If something happened to him at this time, Queenie would not be able to stand the blow. The Norman family would be in a mess.

The Norman family would be broken even if Leia recovered. Judging from her current situation, she would not be able to work either. How was she going to survive?

The doctor said that Leia made herself sick while she was living abroad for the past few years.

If the Norman family was ruined, there was no one Leia could depend on. She would end up miserable without having any money.

Queenie knew that Luke would take care of the two of them for Bianca's sake, but he would not look after Leia.

That was why she had been standing her ground after knowing the pros and cons of doing so. She would endure it even though Leia threw tantrums at her every day.

Luca heaved a sigh of relief after she heard what Queenie said.

She was worried that Queenie would agree with Leia's idea and spend a huge sum of money to look for a liver for Leia.

It set Luca's mind at ease when Queenie said that.

“Don't worry. Let's wait until Ms. Norman gets better. Maybe then you can ask Mr. Norman to talk to Mr. Crawford about this. Just tell him that Ms. Norman isn't feeling well now and she needs to come back here for treatment. If Mr. Crawford agrees with it, we can ask for help on the internet. Ms. Norman used to have many fans. Perhaps someone will be willing to help her," Luca comforted her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2239-chapter will update soon

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2240-After Luca left the hospital, she got into Warren's car and headed to T Corporation.

Five minutes later, Luca received a call from Queenie.

“Luca, you've already left the hospital?" Queenie could not find Luca anywhere in the hospital when she left the ward. Hence, she quickly called her.

"Yes, Mrs. Norman. I have work to do..." Luca felt sorry for her when she heard the hoarseness in her voice.

"Too many things happened just now. I didn't get the chance to thank you yet. Luca, let me treat you to lunch," Queenie invited her out for lunch. Luca was Leia's savior, after all.

Even though Leia did not know how to be grateful, as her mother, she had to know how to show respect to others.

"It's nothing, Mrs. Norman. You don't have to do this. Besides, Ms. Norman would eventually wake up even if I wasn't there," Luca replied with her brows furrowed while she looked at the scenery outside the window that was moving backward.

What Luca said was true. Judging from Leia's situation, she would not be unconscious for long. Even if Luca did not perform dry needling on her, she would be able to wake up in a day. Although she was in a bad situation, she would not be asleep for that long.

Moreover, the one who should be thanking Luca was supposed to be Leia. She was a grown-up, and she should not be letting Queenie do that for her.

Queenie frowned on the other end of the line. After all, Luca seemed to refuse to accept her apology on behalf of Leia. She heaved a sigh and said, "Luca, Leia is sick. She's feeling unwell. That's why she behaves that way when she sees someone.."

Luca closed her eyes and leaned back on the car seat. She replied, "Mrs. Norman, I know. Besides, it's nothing. Stop thinking about it. Let Ms. Norman rest and recover her health."

"Ah. Okay." Queenie was steeped in guilt.

"Mrs. Norman, I have another call coming in. I got to go." Luca broke the silence. Someone was really calling her.

After Luca ended the call with Queenie, she answered Rhett's call and answered a few questions regarding the experiment.

Then, Warren drew up outside T Corporation.

"Ms. Craw, we're here." Warren shot a glance at Luca, who was behind him.

“Oh, okay." Luca was busy discussing the experiment data with Rhett. She did not notice that she had arrived at T Corporation. She said, "Rhett, let's talk later. I arrived at the office. Let me deal with it later."

"Okay, Dr. Craw," Rhett hung up the call when he heard her telling him that she was back at the office.

Luca put her phone back in the briefcase. When she was about to get out of the car, Warren said, "Dr. Craw, the black-colored Buick has been following us since we drove out of the villa."

Warren had been keeping an eye on the car. He even tested the person in the car. However, the other party did not make any move, so he did not do anything about it

Luca was startled for a moment. She was thinking about other stuff when she was in the car, and she did not notice that.

She took her phone out and pretended to take a selfie. Then, she saw the black Buick behind them.

"You're attentive," said Luca. She was not planning on alerting the enemies, but she reminded him, "Memorize the car plate number and inform Mr. Crawford about it."

"Yes." Warren did not show any happiness on his face because of Luca's compliment. It was his job, after all.

After Luca left, Warren sent a message with the car plate number to Gale.

Gale was responsible for investigating the matter.

In the hospital.

Leia wanted to continue to sleep, but she was wide awake. Even though the caretaker did not make any noise, she was unable to fall asleep.

Hence, she opened her eyes and asked the caretaker to adjust the height of the hospital bed. She would like to sit for a while.

"What happened last night?" Leia asked the caretaker. She had no idea what happened after she fainted.

"Ms. Norman, you were sent to the emergency room last night. I couldn't decide for you. So I informed Mr. Norman and Mrs. Norman. They arrived at the hospital half an hour later after you were brought to the emergency room, and they signed various agreements..." The caretaker emphasized the time. She had seen the way Leia talked to her family and how their relationship was.

Queenie was kind to Leia, but the woman in front of her refused to accept her mother's kindness. That was why the caretaker deliberately stressed it.

Leia hated it when the caretaker mentioned Queenie in their conversation. She changed the subject of the conversation and asked, "Did I become like this just because I took a puff of a cigarette?"

The caretaker shook her head and replied, "I'm not sure about that. The doctor only told Mr. Norman and Mrs. Norman about your condition.."

The caretaker was asked to leave the ward when Leia's friend came here yesterday. That was why she did not manage to stop Leia from smoking in time. The caretaker was worried that Queenie would put her in a difficult position.

Fortunately, Queenie only asked her to return and take care of Leia. She did not blame her for what happened yesterday.

Leia could not help but let the resentment fill her heart when she thought about what Johann had said. She became like this just because she smoked.

If Mandy had not smoked in front of her and told her that it was the cigarette they used to smoke the last time, Leia would not have wavered.

The ward's door was pushed open again. Leia frowned and turned to look in the direction of the door. She realized that it was not the doctor or nurse who came in. It was Mandy.

"Why are you here?" Leia scowled at Mandy when she remembered that she was the one who made her condition worsen. If it were not for her being unable to get out of bed and walk now, she would have charged toward her, pulled her hair, and asked Mandy why she made things difficult for her.

"Are you still hoping to see me lying on the bed and unable to get off?" Leia glowered at her.

“Don't say that. I was worried about you. But I got kicked out of here. I only dared to come in after your mother left," Mandy explained. She left an impression on the nurse when she came in yesterday. That was why she could come and go freely.

"It's your fault I'm in such a state now!" Leia gritted her teeth. If it were not for her, she would not be on the verge of death. Now, her body could face organ failure at anytime...

Mandy knew Leia became like this because of the cigarette. She quickly explained to her, "I didn't know you couldn't smoke a cigarette in such a condition. Besides, you're the one who asked for the cigarette.

I just gave it to you."

Leia gave her a death stare without saying a word.

Indeed, she had wanted to take a puff of the cigarette. That was why Mandy gave it to her.

However, if it were not for Mandy, who smoked in front of her, how could she be tempted to smoke?

"Come on. Stop being angry. It's a blessing in disguise for you to be able to regain your consciousness.." Mandy comforted her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Leia retorted. However, her body was weak, so her voice sounded weak too.

Mandy did not explain anything. She shot a glance at the caretaker and raised her brows at Leia.

Leia understood what she meant. Then, she said to the caretaker, "Please leave us alone.."

"Ms. Norman, Mrs. Norman asked me to stay here and look after you.." The caretaker dared not to listen to her anymore. Leia smoked when she was asked to step out yesterday. What if something like that happened again today?
