Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2241-"There's something important we need to talk about. Get out." Leia gave her a piercing look as she asked the caretaker to leave.

After the caretaker left, Mandy walked toward her hospital bed, pretending to worry about her. She said, "Leia, didn't you say you'd like to get a liver transplant the last time? But your family refuses to do it. Look at you. Your skin is sallow and your body is weak. You look like you're dying. That's why you have to make yourself look miserable. They'll certainly agree with it then."

Leia bit her lip and glared at her, "I ended up like this because of you!"

"Don't blame me. We didn't even know smoking would have such a great impact on your health. Besides, that was the cigarette you used to smoke. You were fine back then... So, it's probably because the doctors can't find the reason why your condition worsened and they blamed the cigarette. What matters most now is that you've survived. Although you're in a worse condition now, your mother might have a soft spot for you if things don't get better," Mandy whispered in her ears. "You were still unconscious when I came here just now, but your mother was crying her eyes out."

"Enough. Stop talking about her," Leia replied angrily. She lost her status in the Norman family ever since her parents acknowledged Bianca.

Jack did not like her, and Queenie's attention was all on Bianca. She was trying to make up for losing Bianca for so many years. That was why the resentment Leia had for her parents was becoming stronger and stronger.

Mandy smiled and said, "By the way, do you know the name of the doctor who treated you?"

"Which one?" Leia leaned on the pillow and sat for a while. Her body was unable to take it, and she wanted to lie down.

However, she did not want to show her weakness and look flustered in front of Mandy.

"The one who came to your ward today. He's so handsome and young. Hey, do you think doctors like him make a lot of money?" Mandy's eyes were gleaming. She would not have known that there were so many outstanding men in A City if she had not returned to her country.

"You mean Johann." Leia looked at the overwhelmed look on Mandy's face. She could not help but judge her for being so clingy to men. She continued, "I'm not sure how much young doctors earn these days, but he."

"Yes? Isn't he making a lot of money? If he's able to visit patients like you who stay in VIP wards, he must be experienced and qualified enough. But he looks young." Mandy interrupted her without trying to conceal her interest in Johann.

"Can you wait until I finish my sentence?" Leia chimed in querulously.

Mandy smiled and stopped behaving in a spoony manner. She quickly nodded and replied, “Oh, sorry.

Please continue."

"He's a famous doctor in this country. Many famous businessmen and politicians who are sick would find ways to see him. They would rather pay expensive medical expenses to see him than head to those private hospitals for surgery," said Leia.

Johann was capable, but he chose to work in a public hospital.

However, there were limited resources in a public hospital. To consult a doctor like Johann, they would have to snatch up the chance to see him. Besides, Johann made his own rules. He wanted to make sure ordinary people were able to consult him too, so no one was allowed to make the reservation on

behalf of anyone else. Once someone managed to make the reservation and receive treatment in the hospital, the surgery cost and medical expenses would be based on the hospital's charges.

That was why many wealthy men who wanted to consult Johann but did not manage to get the booking number had no choice but to head to a private hospital to consult the doctors there. Then, they would ask the director of the hospital to ask Johann to come over to treat them.

Only a few managed to cut in Johann's patient line.

"Wow!" Mandy could not help but exclaim in admiration. "He's really something."

Based on what Leia had told her, Johann must be making a lot of money. After all, private hospitals were different from public hospitals. Johann was capable enough, and he was not afraid that he would starve.

Although Johann was not a businessman, he was considered outstanding with such social status and reputation.

"So what if he's capable? Does it have anything to do with you?" Leia said sarcastically. Johann would never fall for someone like her.

Mandy was dumbfounded for a moment. She sat beside the hospital bed and tried to please Leia. "He has nothing to do with me now. But you can help me. I'll make sure you get a share of the pie after you recover."

Leia frowned without saying anything.

It was obvious what Mandy was up to. She wanted to win Johann's heart, but Leia had never seen Johann being in a relationship with anyone before even after staying in A City for so many years. Perhaps he was interested in men.

As for why Leia knew Johann so much, it was because Jack had tried to set her up with Johann many years ago.

However, Johann was not interested in her, and Leia had no feelings for Johann either.

That was why Leia knew Johann's relationship history so well.

Mandy noticed that Leia did not say anything, so she added, "Oh, my dear Leia, he's your attending physician. The two of you must have a way to contact each other. Why don't you give me his Facebook account name?"

"What if he's not interested in you? You might betray me and tell him. I'd still be the unlucky one," Leia said slowly.

"No. I promise I won't betray you! I won't even tell him you were the one who gave me his Facebook account," Mandy swore as she made a swearing gesture.

The door was pushed open, and the nurse came in. She recognized Mandy when she saw her sitting beside Leia. She was the one who gave Leia the cigarette yesterday. The nurse frowned and asked, “What are you doing?"

Mandy turned around and glanced at the nurse. She was the one who came in yesterday. Then, Mandy rose to her feet. She did not like the nurse.

"I came to visit the patient. Is there any problem with it?"

"If you hadn't taken the initiative to smoke in the ward, the patient wouldn't have ended up like this." The nurse gave her a dirty look. She walked toward Leia's bed and said, "I have to give you an injection now. Would you like to lie down?"

"Yes please." Leia felt tired. There was weariness on her pale-yellowish face.

After the nurse helped Leia to adjust the hospital bed, she gave her the injection quickly and skillfully. She warned Mandy before she left, "The patient can't even inhale secondhand smoke right now. Don't do anything silly."

Mandy pouted her mouth.

After the nurse left, Mandy stepped forward and looked at the IV fluid Leia was using. There were a few bags of them. She could not help but smack her lips and say, "There are so many of them."

"Thanks to you," Leia replied in a cold voice.

"Didn't I tell you that it's a blessing in disguise? Just wait for it. Your mother will give you the money to get the liver," Mandy comforted her. She did not forget to ask for Johann's contact from her. "Come on.

Give me the doctor's Facebook account name."

Leia was getting impatient with Mandy pestering her. She reckoned that Johann would not accept Mandy even if she threw herself at him. Hence, she said, "Note it down. His Facebook account name is..."

Mandy quickly noted down the name.

After Leia gave her Johann's contact, she asked her to leave. "Fine. You've got what you wanted from me. Stop coming here for the time being so that my mother doesn't see you. Please leave."

"Then I won't bother you. Do remember to tell me if anything happens. I'm worried about you." Mandy sent her a flying kiss.

Leia did not take Mandy's words seriously. She closed her eyes and said, "Ask the caretaker to come back here."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2242-T Corporation.

It was almost past lunchtime when Luca walked out of the laboratory.

Luca asked Zoey to order takeout for her. That was why she was planning to return to her office and eat her lunch. After that, she would continue to handle her work.

Before she returned to her office, Zoey came forward and said, “Dr. Craw, I've left your lunchbox on your office desk. And Mr. Crawford is in your office."

Luca was startled for a moment. Zoey deliberately lowered her voice when she mentioned Luke's name.

"I got it." Luca's voice was calm, and it carried a trace of coldness.

Zoey watched Luca march back to her office from behind. She could not help but let out a sigh. If it was another woman who encountered such a situation, she would not be able to hide the joy and excitement in her voice.

However, Luca...

Her reaction was so calm, and she was not even surprised to hear that. She was different from the other women. Perhaps that was the reason why their boss was attracted to her.

Luca pushed the door open and walked into her office. Luke was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

Luca closed the door, took off her white coat, and said, "Mr. Crawford, what brings you here?"

"I came to eat lunch with you," replied Luke.

Luca only came to notice that there were a few lunchboxes on the coffee table. One of them must be the one Zoey ordered for her, while Luke must have brought the others here.

"This is too much.." Luca said awkwardly.

"No, it's not. Take a seat," replied Luke. He opened the lunch boxes one after another. Then, he took the disposable cutleries and helped Luca with some white bread.

Luca had a smaller appetite. That was why Luke did not give her a lot of bread. Then, he helped her with the bacon and placed it on her plate.

"That's enough, Mr. Crawford." Luca knew Luke was helping her with the food when she saw the bread on the plate. As Luca watched the bacon fill up the plate, she quickly stopped him and said, "I can't eat that much."

Luke lifted his head and put the plate in front of Luca. Then, he said, "Come on. Eat your lunch. You can have some brown sugar tea that Aunt Neile had sent here."

"Aunt Neile sent some brown sugar tea for me?" Luca was surprised. She took a bite of the bacon. It tasted familiar.

"Don't you think it tastes familiar to you?" Luke questioned her. He asked Aunt Neile to send the lunchboxes to the office since she was delivering the brown sugar tea here.

"Aunt Neile prepared these." Luca took another bite. She knew it was Aunt Neile who prepared it. At first, she was wondering how there could be so many choices if Luke ordered takeout.

The food looked sumptuous, smelled good, and tasted yummy...

"You can have more. Your body needs more nutrients now," said Luke.

Luca found it strange when she heard him saying that. Why did Luke make it sound like she was pregnant. Previously, when she was pregnant with Luke's fourth child, she barely took any supplements and nutrients.

In the end, she depended on Shanks's nutrient injections. She was unable to get used to the food served on the Island of Despair.

After lunch, Luca drank the brown sugar tea Aunt Neile made for her.

The warm brown sugar tea tasted good. There was the aroma of ginger. At the same time, the sweetness of the brown sugar covered up the spiciness of the ginger. The two flavors went well together.

"Is it good?" Luke asked when he saw the satisfied expression on Luca's face. He felt content too.

"It's good." Luca pulled a tissue and wiped her mouth.

Luke stared at her and asked, "Luca, can you tell me why you went to the hospital today?"

"I thought I told you.." Luca replied in an awkward tone.

"But you didn't tell me who asked for your help. You don't have many friends here. It's not Sue or Nina, not the guy Jean injured. So, who is it?" Luke did not give her the chance to make up an excuse.

"I think you already know who it is.." answered Luca. Leia had come back for quite some time, and she had been in the hospital receiving treatment. How could Luke, someone who was well-connected and resourceful, not know about it.

Perhaps Leia was the only one who thought she could hide from him.

"Found out about what?" Luke deliberately asked her.

Luca frowned. She had no choice but to answer him, "You must've known about it."

"Leia?" Luke gave her a mischievous smirk. He could not help but feel sorry for Luca when he saw how cautious she was.

Luca was forced to go through all those things because of Leia. Now, she had to save Leia's life for Queenie's sake.

No matter who it was, anyone would feel conflicted once they put themselves in her shoes.

However, Luca chose not to tell him. Not only did she hide her true identity, but she also promised Queenie to help Leia.

"You already know about it.." Luca could sense something was wrong. Luke hated Leia. He did not deal with her and sent her away after knowing she came back. Instead, he pretended like he did not know about it.

Could it be Jack who asked him not to do so?

“I knew she came back the moment she entered the country." Luke held Luca's hand. It was so soft. He could not help but squeeze her hands a few times.

"You're not planning to deal with her, right?" Luca asked. If he were to deal with Leia, he would not have let her stay in A City until now.

"If I send Leia back to New York now, Mother-in-law will be heartbroken. She might even faint. That's why I didn't do anything to Leia. Not only because Father-in-law asked me to do so, but I'd like to learn more about something from her," replied Luke.

"About what?" Luca asked.

Luke stared at her without saying a word.

Previously, Luca was taken away by the people of the Island of Despair. Leia was the one who cooperated with them, but Luke was not able to make Leia talk and spill the beans about the organization. He was so furious that he had no choice but to send her to New York.

Now, Leia was back in the country. He had to seize the chance to learn more about the Island of Despair.

However, he could not tell Luca about his plans.

"Mr. Crawford?" Luca asked in confusion when Luke fell silent.

"Leia did many dirty things before this. You don't have to interfere with this. How is she doing now?" Luke asked. He had yet to ask Johann about her condition.

"Dr. Park should've told you, right?" Luca was puzzled. She believed that Johann was siding with Luke.

There was no such thing as medical ethics in Johann's dictionary. He would tell Luke whatever he wanted to know.

"He didn't go into the details."

"Ms. Norman is awake now, but things aren't getting better for her. She... She has to undergo a liver transplant immediately if that's possible," said Luca. She knew exactly what situation Leia was in now.

It was like Kevin, who was anxiously waiting for a liver transplant back then.

"She hasn't given up the thought of getting a liver in the black market?" Luke asked again.

Luca shook her head. She knew Luke had been keeping an eye on Leia fro the very beginning.

Queenie thought she would be able to hide it from Luke. However, no one could hide anything from Luke.

"Ms. Norman has a strong survival instinct. I guess she won't give up that easily," Luca said in a soft voice. Her voice was full of helplessness.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2243-Luke instantly knew what kind of person Leia was without needing Luca to explain to him.

There was no way she would give up easily. She was still asking her so-called friends to help keep an eye on updates in the black market. Although she was broke, that would not stop her from deceiving her father and the Norman family.

“What do you think?" Luke asked for her opinion.

Luca was silent for some time and slowly said, "Actually, I think that since you already know that she's back, why not just be frank with her so that she has more options to look for liver donors? Otherwise, she can only wait in the hospital or purchase it from the black market..."

She did not say this for the sake of Leia as she was not fond of her either. She just felt sorry for Queenie and Jack. She did not want the couple to be dragged down by Leia's disease.

Moreover, if Leia dragged down the Norman family, it would affect Luke too.

Besides, he was still the Norman family's son-in-law to the outside world.

"You're saying we should let her openly look for liver donors?" Luke's eyes smiled a little.

"Yes." Luca nodded as Leia used to be a celebrity, so perhaps someone would be willing to help.

"But Leia pretty much ruined her reputation entirely. Even if someone is willing to help, it'd be for Jack's sake," said Luke. It was not completely off the table, but the one who would be deeply indebted would be Jack and not Leia.

Who would donate their liver to an over-the-hill celebrity with a bad image?

Luca bit her lower lip as it did not occur to her that Jack was a governor. There would be many social climbers lining up to help him.

It seemed like this was not a good solution either.

Luke noticed that she was in a dilemma, and he also knew that she was not doing it for Leia's sake but Queenie's.

He said, "But there is one person who might be able to give Leia a chance to get an operation."

"Who?" Luca asked hurriedly without trying to mask her anxiousness. Besides, they were her parents. She could not bear to watch them be in a dilemma because of Leia.

"Dexter," Luke mentioned a name. novelbin

Luca frowned as the name sounded familiar to her, but she could not recall who it was. "That's.."

"He's Leia's biological father. When he almost sold her off, she escaped and was adopted by the Norman family, which led her to have a comfortable life. After that, Dexter recognized that Leia was his daughter at first glance. He went to her for money, but she refused to give him any. Hence, he thought of ways to accuse Leia in front of the media for things she didn't do, which is why her reputation hit rock bottom," said Luke.

Luca recalled who this Dexter guy was.

He was one of the people who completely ruined Leia's chances of working in the entertainment industry ever again.

However, when Dexter accused Leia in front of the reporters, was Luke not the one manipulating him?

It was all in the past, but Luca still remembered that after the ruckus Dexter caused, he disappeared into thin air and was never seen again.

He was nothing short of a vagrant. Although everyone had a bad impression of Leia, they could not care less about a tramp like him.

After all these years, was Dexter still alive?

Luca thought that the chances of finding Dexter were too low.

"Can this person still be found?" She had intended to ask whether he was still alive, but she had just returned from overseas, so she was not supposed to know about this. Therefore, she had no choice but to ask whether he could be found and not whether he was still alive.

"We can try," said Luke. After causing a scene, Dexter got a sum of money. If he did not squander it all, he should have enough to get by for a few years.

He was just afraid that Dexter had not gotten rid of his habit of splurging and had starved himself to death on the streets.

If that was the case, then the universe was just not on Leia's side.

"Then, will you help?" Luca asked with caution.

"If Leia is willing to cooperate with me, I can help," said Luke as Leia had not told him what he wanted to know.

If she told him what he wanted to know, then not only could he help find Dexter, but he could even use his connections to get her what she wanted.

Of course, he would do so in a legal manner.

Besides, if Leia sought help publicly in addition to Luke helping her, there was no doubt that there would be someone who would be willing to donate their liver.

Luca fell silent as she reckoned that the thing Luke wanted to know was probably the identity of the person who worked with Leia to kidnap her.

Leia did not tell him at the time. Even after being sent abroad, her lips were sealed. Would she tell the truth about what had happened for the sake of getting a liver?

Luca thought that she most likely would... because she was afraid of death.

Luke glanced at his watch, then he stood up and said, "Lunch break is over. I'm going up to work. Let Warren pick you up after work and don't leave on your own." "I know.." Luca nodded. She believed that Warren had already told him about what had happened this morning.

After Luke left, Luca packed up her lunch box. Aunt Neile had made a huge portion for lunch. There was no way two people could finish it, but she could not share it with others either because Luke was around.

After throwing the lunch box into the trash, Luca glanced at the time and returned to her office.

It was evening.

After Luca got off work, she got into Warren's car and was about to head back home.

At that moment, Luke sent her a text message. [I'm dropping by the Norman family's place.]

[Did Mrs. Norman invite you over?] Luca asked as she could not suppress her curiosity.

[Yes.] Luke replied.

Luca did not say anything else. She put her phone in her briefcase and pretended to sleep.

In the Norman family's residence.

Queenie had prepared a spread of food herself, and Jack was astonished to see the enticing food on the table when he came back. “What day is it today?"

“I invited Luke over for dinner," said Queenie as she handed a bottle of red wine to the maid for her to decant it in advance.

"Why did you invite Luke over for dinner? Did you ask him to bring the children with him?" Jack asked as he missed his adorable grandchildren very much.

Queenie shook her head as she invited Luke over to ask him for a favor. If the grandkids were here, she could not say it out loud.

Besides, Leia was not a good aunt in the eyes of the three kids.

Jack put down his briefcase and took off his coat. He could not help but ask, "You have a favor to ask Luke, don't you?"

Queenie bit her lower lip and nodded resignedly.

She did not consult Jack before inviting Luke over because she was afraid that he would object.

"Does it have to do with Leia?" Jack asked while frowning.

"I want to be frank with Luke about Leia returning here to receive treatment..." Queenie stepped forward and held Jack's hand. "Dear, Leia's condition is getting worse. I can't just watch while she leaves us because she can't find a donor, but I can't condone her ruining the Norman family either. I have no other choice."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2244-“Will telling Luke help Leia? Have you thought about the consequences of doing so?" Although Jack knew that Luke was already aware that Leia had returned, he still looked at Queenie seriously and told her the consequences she might have to face if she did so. novelbin

"Of course, I know that! Dear, Leia is our daughter. You may be able to steel yourself, but I can't. There's a chance that Luke might send Leia back to New York if I tell him, but I won't allow that to happen. If he insists on doing so, I'll get down on my knees and beg him to spare Leia in consideration of me being Bea's biological mother. As long as he's willing to spare Leia, we can publicly look for volunteers for Leia..." Queenie's eyes were bloodshot while talking. She was getting emotional because she knew that this was Leia's last resort.

Disappointment could be seen in Jack's eyes as looking for voluntary donors for Leia may be useful, but would not he be the one to take the fall in the end?

If Leia received someone else's liver, he, as her father, would owe someone a favor that had to be returned someday!

That person may even affect his decision-making in the future.

He used to be secretly glad that Leia's problem was her liver, so she did not have to wait for the donor to die to get the organ. Someone could donate their liver even when they were alive and well.

Now, he changed his mind.

If he was indebted to a dead person, he would never be able to return the favor, but if he was indebted to someone alive, he may need to spend a whole lifetime paying off that debt.

However, a parent's love was unconditional. Even after everything Leia had done to Queenie, she was still not disappointed in Leia.

Jack was helpless. What else could he say under these circumstances?

The maid walked over and told them, "Mr. and Mrs. Norman, Mr. Crawford is here."

As soon as Queenie heard that, she hurriedly wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes and glanced at Jack as she said, "Even if you're not willing to help Leia, I can't just leave my daughter to die."

Jack heaved a sigh.

Luke walked in while carrying a bag of health supplements along with a bag of tea leaves. He did not have too big of a reaction when he saw the couple. Instead, he just habitually greeted them, "Father- inlaw, Mother-in-law, these are the health supplements and tea I brought for you."

Queenie chuckled and shook her head. "You could've just come here without bringing anything with you. Why did you bring over so many things?"

"It's been a while since I've come over to visit, so I brought some things as a token of respect in place of Bea." Luke handed the two bags to the maid.

After receiving the bags, the maid looked at Jack and Queenie. "Mr. and Mrs. Norman, would you like to eat now?"

"Not yet. Luke, come with me to my study," said Jack as he wanted to tell him about Queenie's plan in advance.

"If you have something to talk about, do it after dinner. Let's eat first. Otherwise, the food won't taste good when it's cold," Queenie said hurriedly as she was afraid that Jack would say something to Luke to make him not help Leia.

Jack wanted to say something but did not.

After assessing the situation, Luke knew what Queenie wanted to talk to him about. Unfortunately, Luca was right. He then nodded and said, "Mother-in-law is right. Let's eat first."

Jack could not refuse. Since Luke had long known about Leia's return, Leia was already considered lucky that Luke had yet to take any action.

Besides, Bianca's kidnapping and everything else Bianca had to suffer after that had something to do with Leia.

Moreover, Bianca was his biological daughter. Even if he had raised Leia for more than 20 years, it still angered him.

Needless to say, Bianca was the love of Luke's life, while Leia was just a passerby to him.

Therefore, he understood if Luke wanted to deal with Leia. Plus, after what Leia had done to Queenie, he would even be supportive of Luke's decision.

After the three of them walked into the dining room and sat down, Queenie then told Luke to help himself.

The maid brought out the bottle of wine that had been decanted, so Queenie instructed, "Pour us a glass each."

"Yes, Mrs. Norman." The maid then brought three wine glasses.

Luke said, "Mother-in-law, I drove here, so I can't drink."

Queenie froze as she thought that it would be easier for her to talk if there was wine. However, after Luke's statement, she had to drop the idea.

"Since you can't drink, then let's put the wine away," she said resignedly.

After receiving her orders, the maid took the wine back into the kitchen.

Since no kids were there to make a fuss, the dinner table was rather quiet.

Jack saw that Queenie was hesitant to talk, so he asked with concern, "Luke, I heard that you've bought the Hilton family's company?"

"I did. We're going through the formalities right now," said Luke.

"Good. Although the Hilton family can't hold themselves up anymore, their company's prospects are still pretty good," said Jack. When the Leia and Brody incident caused quite a ruckus, he had looked into them.

The Hilton family was not bad, and they were a good match for Leia.

Leia was the one being ridiculous, and she took them for granted. Moreover, the past two generations of the Hilton family were known to be shrewd businessmen. Now, with the black sheep of the family, Brody, they were doomed.

Jack could not help but sigh again. "It's a shame that the Hilton family was ruined by Brody. Children should be educated correctly and not spoon-fed."

Not only was his statement for Luke to hear but for Queenie as well.

He believed that Leia turned out this way mainly because she was spoiled at home, not only by Queenie but by his parents too.

"The company's outlook is indeed great, but things started to head south after Brody was put in charge," said Luke. If Brody had been willing to delegate responsibilities and hire a manager to run the company, it would not have ended up in his hands.

Now that the acquisition had been made, he could revive the company and bring it back to life.

"I believe in you." Jack expressed his confidence in Luke.

"By the way, Luke, how are the three kids doing?" Queenie asked about her grandchildren as an excuse to take part in the conversation. Then, she intended to ask about Bianca before bringing up Leia.

"Lanie and the others are very good kids. They're doing well in school too," said Luke. The three children Bianca gave him would definitely be part of the elite when they grew up.

"Good to hear that. Bea will be at ease even though she's abroad..." Queenie nodded and took a sip of her soup, then asked again, "Have you heard from Bea recently? She would text me occasionally, but every time I ask when she'll come back, she'll stop replying to me.."

"She's still studying abroad in different places, so she's not coming back for New Year's," Luke lied through his teeth. Besides, he could not tell her that Luca was actually Bianca.

Queenie was not good at pretending, so Jack could know about this, but not Queenie.

Jack helped himself to a piece of meat. He did not think much of Luke's words as he knew that their daughter was right by their side.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2245-After learning that Bianca was not coming back, Queenie's eyes grew dim.

The reason why she put all her attention on Leia was because of Luca's absence. She could not even worry about her if she wanted to.

Besides, Bianca was not always reachable.

“I guess I won't be able to see Bea this New Year's again. Luke, Jack and I aren't getting any younger. Who wouldn't want to have their children by their side at this age? So, I want to tell you something." Queenie put down her utensils, and her face stiffened with dismay.

Luke understood the situation and put down his utensils as well. "Yes, Mother-in-law?"

When Queenie glanced at Jack to see him shake his head indicating that she should not say what she was about to say, she ignored him. Then, she looked at Luke and said, "There's actually something we've been hiding from you... Leia is back."

Luke remained silent.

Queenie tried to decipher Luke's expression, but no emotion could be seen on his face as he was too calm.

She had no choice but to say, "Leia is critically ill. It's so serious that if we keep it from you any longer, she might leave us any time now. Luke, I know that Leia made many mistakes in the past, but she got the punishment she deserved. I hope that you'll let bygones be bygones. At least let her recover here for the time being. We can further discuss it after she's fully recovered."

"I understand," Luke said indifferently as he picked up his glass of water and took a sip. He could not say that he had fallen into a trap as he was aware of what Queenie wanted to talk to him about.

Queenie noticed that he did not react badly, nor did he say that he would send Leia back to New York. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, "So, are you okay with Leia staying here to get treatment?"

"Isn't she sick?" Luke asked in reply.

Queenie nodded. "It's a liver disease, and the doctor said that the only way she can survive is to get a liver transplant. However, my blood type and Mr. Norman's blood type are not compatible with Leia's. So, we want to make it known to the public to see if there are any kind-hearted people out there who can help her—"

"You want to find a voluntary donor for Leia?" Luke then knew that Luca probably had the same idea. However, when she suggested it, she did not think about Jack.

The thought of Jack did not occur to her most likely because she felt sorry for Queenie.

Queenie nodded.

“If that's the case, Father-in-law's career will be badly affected." Luke reckoned that Jack thought so too, but he did not speak up about it because of Queenie. Hence, he had Luke do his dirty work for him instead.

Queenie was taken aback, and she glanced at Jack who was eating with his head down.

"How..." They were just looking for voluntary donors, not purchasing a liver from the black market. How would this affect his career?

"Although Leia was a celebrity, she has already lost all her fans. If someone is willing to help her, they'd be doing it because of Father-in-law," Luke explained to her in detail.

There were still people who would occasionally mention Leia's name on the internet, but all of those people were her haters.

Queenie was perplexed as Luke's point never occurred to her.

She looked at Jack with guilt in her eyes.

No wonder Jack was behaving unusually quietly. He must have thought the same but kept quiet because of her urgency to find a donor for Leia.

He may not have much affection for Leia, but he still loved Queenie.

He had sacrificed a lot for her after decades of being together.

Queenie sighed, and all of a sudden, the dinner table grew much more silent after Luke's revelation.

"I didn't think about that. So, all Leia can do is wait in line?" She was powerless. Having raised Leia for so long, this was the first time she had ever felt this way.

No one knew how long she had to wait in line. Perhaps Leia would get lucky and find a compatible donor soon, but she might be unlucky as well. It may never be her turn.

The thought of it scared Queenie.

Luke saw the look on their faces and thought of Luca. She must not want to see her parents in this state.

Therefore, he said, "There's actually another way. Although Leia's biological mother has passed away, she still has a father—Dexter."

Queenie suddenly looked up and recalled what had happened before. novelbin

Dexter was willing to do anything for money. He even ruined Leia when he could not get any more money.

He did not care how others looked at him. Besides, he was the one who wanted to sell Leia off, but he later wanted to take advantage of her.

Thus, Queenie did not have a good impression of him at all. "How could he possibly help Leia after making her so miserable?"

"Leia was the one asking for trouble," Jack could not resist correcting her.

Although Dexter was at fault, Leia was not any better.

Queenie opened her mouth but was unable to refute.

"Despite what he did, he's still Leia's biological father. The chances of a successful match between father and daughter are very high. Instead of using Father-in-law's reputation to seek voluntary donors, why not try looking for Dexter to donate his liver to her?" Luke told Queenie.

Someone worthy of pity would also be worthy of detest, and as detestable as one might be, there would also come a time they became of use.

Queenie nodded as Leia's life was more important. She then opened her mouth to say, “However, Dexter was never seen again after that incident. Can he still be found? Plus, it's common for vagrants like him to die under bridges."

Although the country's welfare policies had gotten better, there were still reports of homeless people dying under bridges.

"We can try, and if we can't find him, we'll think of another way," said Luke. He was not doing it for Leia but for Luca.

"Luke, are you saying that you'll help us?" A glimmer of hope flickered in Queenie's eyes. Although Jack was a man of position, it was not a good idea for him to abuse his power and use the government's resources to find someone.

However, Luke was different. As long as Dexter was still alive, with the help of his people, there was a great possibility that he could be found.

"I'm doing this for Bianca, not Leia. I believe that she won't want to see you in this haggard state when she comes back," Luke said frankly as all the pain Leia was causing Queenie made Luca's heart ache.

Others may not know it, but he knew all about it.

Queenie nodded repeatedly as a delighted smile appeared on her face.

This way, Leia did not have to hide anything. There was another way for her to live.

There was no guarantee that Dexter could be found, and there was a chance that his blood type may not be compatible with Leia's. Even so, they could worry about that later. At least there was light at the end of the tunnel right now.

After dinner, Luke followed Jack to the second floor.

Jack closed the door to the study and pointed to a chair. "Have a seat, Luke."

Luke sat on the chair. "Father-in-law, what is it?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2246-“Let me ask you something. Did Luca come up with that idea?" Jack asked.

“Not entirely. I was the one who suggested looking for Dexter." Luke looked at Jack to see that he had aged a lot because of all the worrying about political affairs and family feuds.

Although his heroic bearing was still apparent, Luke could feel that the person in front of him was getting on in years.

“Then, how sure are you of finding Dexter?" Jack asked again.

“It's hard to say because Dexter disappeared without a trace ever since that incident, I can have people look for him right now, but I can't say how sure I am of finding him. However, I do need you to help me confirm something." Luke folded his arms together.

Dexter was just one of the chess pieces that tripped Leia up. When the chess piece became useless, he never bothered batting an eye at him.

“What is it?" Jack asked.

“I want to know if there's any news of Dexter's passing in the records," said Luke as there must be someone who would have called the police if something had happened to a homeless man.

If a report was made, the police would try their best to identify the other party based on the information registered in the system.

If someone with a past criminal record like Dexter died, his death would be recorded as long as someone made a report.

Therefore, he needed Jack to find out for him.

It was not a difficult task, nor did it require using many resources. Hence, Jack agreed. “No problem, but you have to promise me one thing."

“Go ahead." Luke saw Jack's haggard face, so he reckoned that he did not manage to sleep well last night.

“If you manage to find Dexter but the blood types are not compatible, I want you to take this matter off your hands," said Jack. He was a man of high moral standards as he used to be in the military. If God took this chance away from Leia after everything she had done, it was a sign for her to pay the price she deserved for all the terrible things she had done.

If she could not go to jail, then she should suffer from her illness. Even if she ended up losing her life, she was in no position to complain.

Luke looked at Jack's stern expression and nodded in agreement. “Alright."

In Traders Hotel.

Matysh was grim-faced as he looked at the photo in front of him.

Bill's people had sent him that photo. Luca had a designated chauffeur for traveling to and from work now. That chauffeur did not seem easy to deal with.

After listening to what Bill's subordinate had to say, it was obvious that he was asking for more money. Otherwise, Matysh would have to wait even longer.

He was not going to pay more, nor was he willing to wait any longer...

Matysh's heart tickled as he looked at Luca in the photo. The more out of reach she was, the more he craved her with every fiber of his being.

Mandy opened the door using the suite's spare card to see Matysh drinking on the sofa again. She then chuckled and walked over there seductively.

“Mr. Matysh, why are you drinking alone again.." she said while throwing her bag aside. She pressed her voluptuous body tightly against his.

Matysh pushed her away impatiently.

Although Mandy and Luca looked somewhat alike. The more he looked at her, the more he realized that her class was nowhere near Luca's.

After being pushed away by the man, Mandy inadvertently rolled her eyes. "Why are you treating me so coldly when you were the one who asked me to come over?"

"Shut up!" Matysh snapped at her.

Mandy realized that the man in front of her was in a bad mood, but she had already gotten used to his short temper after two days. No matter how well she served him, the man's mood did not seem to get any better. Hence, she got used to it.

She still stuck to him and paused for a moment when she saw the photo in Matysh's hands. "This person."

Matysh glanced at her and noticed more differences after comparing her to the photo.

If he had found a woman who looked more like Luca, this Mandy girl would have been chased out by now.

"This is the woman I've always wanted." Matysh took a big gulp of wine all of a sudden without hiding the fact that he wanted Luca.

Mandy squinted her eyes, but she was not jealous.

Her relationship with Matysh was strictly business anyway as he just paid her for her body. She knew that there was no chance she would become his girlfriend, so there was no such thing as jealousy. However, why did the woman in the photo look so similar to the woman she saw in Leia's ward this morning?

"So, you wanted me to come to keep you company for the past three days because this woman looks like me.." Mandy smirked.

"It's you who look like her." Matysh corrected her snappishly.

Mandy disregarded his words. "I've seen this woman before."

"You've seen her before? How could you have seen her before?" Matysh did not believe her as Luca was on a whole different level than Mandy.

Plus, she was not the type of woman who would go out and have fun, so there was no way she would mix with someone like Mandy.

After seeing his disbelief, Mandy said, "I may have just seen her this morning when I was visiting my friend in the hospital. She was also in my friend's ward, but I'm not sure what she was doing there."

At that time, she did not think that she was anyone important, so she did not ask Leia who she was.

Hospital?

Matysh recalled what Bill's subordinate had reported to him today. Luca went to the hospital this morning before going back to T Corporation...

He hurriedly asked, "Did you really see her?"

"Yeah, but I didn't ask why she was in my friend's ward."

"Ask why she's in the hospital for me," said Matysh as he had been wondering why she went to the hospital after learning about it today.

His gut told him that this might be a breakthrough.

"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow." Mandy leaned on the man again. She thought that she could use this woman to make a quick buck from Matysh.

"Ask now." Matysh was so domineering that he could not even wait a day now that he had a new lead.

"There's no way I can ask now. My friend is in bad condition, so she rests very early. If we wait for tomorrow to ask her questions after she wakes up, we might get more information about that woman," Mandy was disdainful as she tried to calm his restlessness.

She learned something new about him after seeing that he was all over the place because of a mere woman.

However, what did this have to do with her? All she needed was the money.

Although Matysh was not happy with it, Mandy had a point. He nodded and went along with her. Then, he handed her the other wine glass. "Drink with me."

"Fine, but let me fix my makeup first," said Mandy as she got up and walked into the bathroom.

After closing the door, she took out her phone to check her notifications.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2247-Mandy frowned. Did Johann not see it yet? Why else would he not accept her friend request?

While she was wondering, she opened her profile.

Her photos and posts displayed her beauty and elegance, so all Johann had to do was click on her profile to see them.

Mandy was not willing to give up, so she took a mirror selfie and posted it after photoshopping. She said how tired she was from work as the caption.

Before she could enjoy all the likes and comments, Matysh's impatient voice could be heard from the outside. “What are you doing in there? What's taking you so long to fix your makeup?"

"I'm almost done." Mandy took out her setting powder and used it to touch up the oily spots on her face before applying more lipstick.

Finally, she walked out of the bathroom and sat next to Matysh.

"Mr. Matysh, let's have a drink." Mandy lifted the glass of wine to clink glasses with him.

Matysh looked at Luca's photo and tilted his head back to finish his wine in one go.

"You're really good at drinking. Say, are all Russian men as good as drinking as you are?" Mandy rested her chin on his shoulder and teased him while she talked.

The fire Matysh had for Luca had not died out. He put the wine glass on the coffee table and picked Mandy up to walk into the bedroom. "Drinking is not the only thing Russian men are good at."

In the mansion.

After putting the children to sleep, Luca returned to her bedroom.

Percy came to pick Nina up after dinner, so she was in charge of looking after the children again.

Good thing the kids were well-behaved enough to go to bed at bedtime. Plus, they had grown up quite a bit as they did not even need bedtime stories anymore. It gave her peace of mind.

When she returned to her room, she took a shower and sat down at her dresser to start crunching numbers.

She seemed to have broken down the ingredients, but she could not get the concentration right yet. Hence, rushing it would not get her anywhere...

In times like this, the only way to develop the antidote was by analyzing the data in detail and doing meticulous experiments.

Luca sighed. Sorting data was so tedious that she could not suppress a yawn. She glanced at the time to see that it was already 11.

Luke had yet to return from the Norman family's residence.

After entering the last of the data, Luca lay in bed and closed her eyes after turning off the lights.

She placed a pillow next to her and consciously left some space on the bed. However, because Luke was not beside her, she could not fall asleep even when she was feeling sleepy...

Luca got up and fumbled around for her sleeping pills. The moment she opened the drawer, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

She immediately switched on the bedside lamp.

She could see everything inside the room with the faint light, including Luke who was walking in.

“Mr, Crawford, you're back.." Luca said bashfully. She noticed that Luke had changed into pajamas, so she wondered when he returned to take a shower and why she did not hear anything when she was checking the data.

Perhaps Luke's footsteps were too light, so she did not hear him.

"Did I wake you up?" Luke closed the door behind him and walked to the bedside.

"No, I just laid down." Luca lay back down and pulled the blanket over her nose, so her voice was muffled. Now that he was back, she could finally fall asleep.

Even though she was still lying to him, it could not be denied that Luke was the one who made her feel most at ease.

There was no need to use sleeping pills when she was with him.

Luke walked over, lifted the corner of the blanket, and lay down as well.

He naturally hugged Luca. "Go to sleep. It's late."

It was indeed late, but Luca had something to ask him.

"Did Mrs. Norman talk to you about Leia?" Luca closed her eyes and felt his hands caressing her tummy before he rested them at a certain position. It made her feel all warm and cozy inside.

"Yes, and I also mentioned Dexter to her." Luke shifted his head closer to the nape of her neck and sniffed the fragrance of her hair which smelled sweet even when she was about to sleep.

He had not slept with Luca in his arms for a long time, and that period was excruciating for him. If sleep was not necessary, he would rather not sleep if it were not as sweet as this.

When he was asleep, he would only dream of torture and torment. Only when he held her to sleep could he feel at ease and sleep without dreams.

"Did she agree to look for Dexter?" Luca asked.

"She's very concerned about Leia's illness, so she agreed even though she despises Dexter. I'll help her look for him." Luke hugged Luca even tighter.

"Okay.." Luca slowly closed her eyes. Even if Dexter was hiding in the dirtiest corners of this city, they would be able to find him with Luke's help.

After feeling a sense of relief, she fell into a deep sleep.

She woke up the following day.

Luke had already gotten out of bed.

Luca listened carefully. There was no sound of Luke in the bathroom, so he must be working in the opposite bedroom.

After getting out of bed and washing up, she walked out of the bedroom. The door of the opposite bedroom was not closed, so she peeked inside to see that Luke was indeed working.

Luca did not say anything. She headed straight downstairs to help Aunt Neile prepare breakfast.

Half an hour later, the kids got up.

When the three children passed by Luke's bedroom, they saw that their dad was working. Hence, they greeted him and left.

Rainie suddenly thought of something. She turned around and stood at the door of Luke's bedroom as she asked softly, “Daddy, can I come in?"

Luke put down his pen and looked at his daughter. He nodded and said, "come in."

Rainie walked in.

"What is it that you want to tell me?" Luke asked. He knew that his daughter would be understanding enough to know not to disturb him when he was working, so if she wanted to come in while he was working, there must be something she wanted to tell him.

"Daddy, Ms. Nina has left. Mr. Percy took her away," said Rainie.

"I know." Luke nodded slightly. Percy had informed him before picking her up.

Now that Nina was gone, Luca would be more comfortable being intimate with him. novelbin

Rainie's hands gripped the corner of the table as she added, "Daddy, do you know why Ms. Nina and Mr. Percy are so in love?"

Luke raised his eyebrows and looked at his daughter. What was she trying to say?

"No. Why?" He went along with it.

"Because Mr. Percy often sweet-talks Ms. Nina. Ms. Nina said that sweet talk is like dessert. Dessert can sweeten one's stomach, while sweet talk can sweeten one's heart. Daddy, you should learn from Mr. Percy how to sweet-talk so that Ms. Luca will know that you like her," Rainie said seriously as she thought that Luca and Luke's relationship was not progressing at all because of Luke's slow- wittedness.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2248-Rainie's words left Luke speechless.

"Who taught you to say that?" Luke's mood darkened as he took Rainie's hand.

‘If I could say such sweet words to Luca, why wouldn't I?'

If he did, he was afraid that he would scare Luca off. It would not be worth the loss if she opted to retreat and escape...

Moreover, he did not like to use his words to show his affection. He believed that his actions spoke louder than words.

However, the situation that Luca was in did not allow him to act so recklessly. After all, she still had some scruples holding her back.

Luke did not act as he did before considering that she could not reveal her identity. Plus, there was still someone who was manipulating her behind the scenes.

"No... No one taught me to say that. I just think that what Aunt Nina said made sense..." Rainie shrank her neck and could not help but wonder. She overheard the adults speak, so she thought that that was how things should be. That was why she repeated it to Luke.

"This does not apply to Ms. Luca. Anyway, she can't run away. You're a kid. You should be good and stay out of adult matters." Luke urged. He did not want the kids to overthink.

"I know, Daddy..." Rainie nodded.

"I still have some things to attend to. You should go downstairs," Luke said as he continued to work on the documents.

His recent workload had increased due to the acquisition of Hampton Company on top of preparing to win over the development rights of the suburban land.

The busier he got, the more things he had to deal with.

Luke could only squeeze some time here and there. He even asked Lliam to drive him to and from work so that he could work in the car.

However, he did not feel tired. He slept with Luca in his arms every night, so no matter how little he slept, he would always wake up feeling full of energy. It was unlike before when he needed to rely on cups of coffee to keep his energy level up.

Downstairs, Luca brought the breakfast she prepared to the table. She did not see Rainie, so she asked, "Has Rainie woken up yet?"

"Rainie went to look for Daddy," Lanie sat in the chair and replied.

Luca nodded in response. She guessed that the father and daughter had something to discuss in secret, so she did not say anything.

She walked into the kitchen again and placed Luke's breakfast on the tray. "Aunt Neile, please send this upstairs."

Luke could eat breakfast while working. However, it would affect his digestion and it would not be good if the children modeled after his behavior. Hence, he never ate while working at the dining table.

He would only do that in the study.

"Okay." Aunt Neile picked up the tray and was about to head up when she thought of Luca's health. She stopped in her tracks and asked, "By the way, Ms. Craw, do you want me to prepare some brown sugar tea for you today?"

"I don't need it today." Luca was stunned. Her body was not so fragile that she needed to drink brown sugar tea often. She only drank it because Luke asked Aunt Neile to prepare it.

"Brown sugar tea is good for a woman's body," Aunt Neile said.

"My period is almost over, so I don't need it." Luca shook her head, put on some mittens, and took the toasted bread out of the kitchen.

Rainie had finished talking to Luke and was sitting in the chair by the dining table.

"Let's eat," Luca told them as she put the toasted bread on the table.

The three children obediently ate the bread and milk.

Aunt Neile brought the breakfast upstairs to Luke.

After she put down the food, Aunt Neile asked with a smile on her face, "Sir, do you need me to bring lunch for you and Ms. Craw today?"

"Yes." Luke's gaze did not leave the document in front of him. He picked up a slice of bread and was taken back when he unexpectedly touched the fried egg next to it.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Neile said, "This is the fried egg that Ms. Craw specially prepared for you. She said that you've been working hard and need more nutrients. I'll send lunch to the office at noon today."

Luke looked at the eggs and remembered that Luca used to fry eggs for him before she was kidnapped.

Her fried eggs were delicious, but they were not as tempting for those like Luke who did not enjoy eating eggs.

As such, Luca tried many different ways to get him to eat eggs back then. She even fried the eggs into the shape of a heart. When he refused to eat them, she would tell him that he was letting all her hard work and love go to waste.

'What an adorable woman...'

He looked at the eggs that were now fried to a round shape, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise to a slight smile. He told Aunt Neile, "Prepare some brown sugar tea..."

"Okay." Aunt Neile agreed. Although Luca said there was no need to prepare the tea, she decided to obey Luke. After all, he was her boss.

After breakfast, Luca walked to the door of the villa and found that not only Warren was waiting for her in the car but Lliam was also there.

She walked to Lliam's car and asked, "Lliam, why are you here?"

"The boss asked me to drive him to and from work," Lliam said with a smile. Although he was T Corporation's chauffeur, his priority was to serve Luke.

Luca nodded. She understood why Luke asked him to do that.

In this way, he could save time and deal with some documents on the road. It was clear that he had his hands full with work.

Luke had done the same in the past. He would ask the chauffeur to drive him while he would sit in the back seat handling various company documents.

It was only later that Luke enjoyed spending time with her even more, so instead of having the chauffeur pick him up, he personally drove her. He would send her to Brilliant Architectural Design LLC

before he drove himself to T Corporation.

"Dr. Craw, are you getting in too?" Lliam asked as he got out of the car and opened the door for her.

"No, I'm taking that car," Luca said. She then walked to the car beside and opened the door.

Luca knew that Warren did not work for T Corporation.

He was working under Gale. Warren was skilled in martial arts and had good driving skills, so he was asked by Luke to protect her to and from work.

Warren did not know Lliam well. After Luca got into the car, he closed the door, glanced at Lliam, got back in the driver's seat, and drove off.

When he saw that, Lliam could not help but murmur, "The chauffeur the boss got for Dr. Craw is so cool..."

Not long after Luca left, Luke walked out of the house too. Aunt Neile walked behind him, holding a stack of folders.

Lliam hurriedly got out of the car and opened the backseat door. "Good morning, Boss."

"Morning." Luke was as taciturn as ever in front of his subordinates. He closed the car door after he got in.

Lliam took the thick stack of documents from Aunt Neile, walked around the car, opened the door on the other side, and put the documents on the passenger seat.

This would allow Luke to work on the documents on his way to the office.

When he got everything sorted, Lliam closed the door, got in the driver's seat, and drove off.novelbin

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2249-In the hospital.

Leia took a bite of the breakfast that the caretaker bought and thought it tasted terrible. She could not help but lose her temper. "What did you buy for me? Why is it so unpalatable? Didn't my family pay?

Did you steal the money?"

The caretaker quickly shook her head. Her face was pale as she said, "I didn't! Ms. Norman, I wouldn't dare to steal your money..."

"Why are these things so unpalatable? Explain yourself!" Leia was upset. Her face was sallow, and she squinted her eyes to look at the caretaker in front of her.

"The Osborne isn't open today. I had no choice, so I bought your breakfast from the restaurant downstairs..." The caretaker explained. Leia was a picky eater. Even though she was sick, had no appetite, and could not eat much, she still insisted on eating the best and most expensive food around.

Fortunately, there was a famous breakfast place near the hospital, The Osborne. As such, the caretaker would have to leave the ward half an hour earlier every day just to queue up to buy breakfast for her. However, The Osborne was closed for a day off.

That was why she bought a croissant for Leia from the restaurant downstairs.

She did not expect that Leia would still be so picky and could tell that it was different even if her appetite had been small lately.

Leia frowned. She was very dissatisfied with the caretaker making a decision on her behalf. She scolded, "Couldn't you have gone farther away to look for something else even if they're not open today? Is the food in the hospital restaurant for humans?"

The caretaker shrank her neck in a grievance. 'Where would I have the time to do so? After all, Leia only gave me so much time.'

As a caretaker, she could not leave the patient alone for too long. She glanced at the monitoring equipment and noticed that Leia's blood pressure was rising. She quickly said, "Sorry, Ms. Norman. It won't happen again."

Leia's scolding was heard in the corridor. Queenie was there with Leia's breakfast and heard everything she said.

She frowned and shook her head helplessly. 'Leia's health isn't the best, so she's in a bad mood. It's not her fault...'

"What's wrong?" Queenie opened the door and gently checked in on the people inside.

Leia rolled her eyes and turned away when she saw Queenie.

The caretaker was a little surprised by Queenie's sudden appearance. She said in a panic, "I bought breakfast which was unfortunately not to Ms. Norman's taste..."

Queenie did not react much. After all, Leia was the pickiest eater that she knew. She believed that the caretaker did not do it on purpose. She put the breakfast she brought on the side table and said, "Leia, I brought you breakfast. Do you want to have some?"

"No, I'm not hungry." Leia closed her eyes and turned Queenie down.

"Have a bite. I have some good news for you," Queenie knew that she was still throwing a tantrum, so she coaxed her patiently.

Leia opened her eyes, and a flash of impatience appeared on her face. "I have half a foot in the coffin. What good news can there be?"

Queenie waved at the caretaker.

The caretaker noticed, nodded, and left the ward.

After the door of the ward closed, she said slowly, "I've told Luke about your return to A City."

“Luke?!”

Fear rose in the bottom of Leia’s heart when she heard Luke’s name. Her blood pressure rose uncontrollably. "You told Luke about my return? Do you want me to die immediately?!"

Queenie heard the alarm in her voice and glanced at her rising blood pressure. Queenie was pale as she said, "I didn't. I’m trying to help you! Leia, please calm down. Luke has no intentions of making you go back to New York!"

The alarm was triggered, so the nurse opened the door and rushed in. "What's wrong with the patient?" Queenie took two steps back and said, "My daughter's blood pressure has risen. Come and take a look." The nurse noticed that Leia's blood pressure reached 160. She frowned and said, "Why is it so high? I'll ask the doctor to prescribe a rapid antihypertensive drug. Don't say anything else that will agitate her." Queenie nodded again and again in response.

After the nurse left, Queenie looked at Leia worriedly. "Leia, don't be nervous. You'll be fine..."

Leia felt dizzy all of a sudden, but what Queenie said caught her attention. She resisted the strong urge to vomit and asked, "Why did you tell him?!"

"Cool down... Luke doesn’t plan to send you back to New York after he knew that you returned to A City. He’s also agreed to help you find Dexter Shaw. There’s hope for you if we can find Dexter Shaw," Queenie summarized her conversation with Luke as she was worried that Leia’s blood pressure would continue to rise because Leia was scared of Luke.

‘Dexter Shaw..’

Leia's eyes widened. She would never forget this name for the rest of her life. He made her the subject of everyone’s hatred.

Dexter ruined her childhood, wanted to sell her, and even ruined her life!

"Why. are you looking for Dexter Shaw?!" Leia's eyes were bloodshot red. It was as if she could shed blood from her eyes.

Queenie took a step back in fright.

The nurse hurried in. She held a pill and told Leia to open her mouth wide. "Open your mouth and lift your tongue. We need to help you lower your blood pressure."

Leia stared straight at Queenie and refused to open her mouth.

"Your blood pressure is very high. It must be forcibly lowered!" The nurse was worried. Leia has no history of high blood pressure, but she was in poor health, so many things could go wrong.

Leia turned her head and looked sharply at the nurse.

The nurse was startled. Leia's gaze made her feel like she was staring the demon in the eye.

"Leia, please, I beg you. Please take your medicine so we can bring your blood pressure down." Queenie could not hold back her tears and begged Leia. novelbin

Leia opened her mouth slightly.

The nurse pried her mouth open with her hands and put the medicine under her tongue. "Keep it in your mouth and let it melt. Don't swallow it. Your blood pressure should drop shortly."

Leia frowned. She could not stand the bitter taste of the medicine spreading from her saliva.

"Don't spit it out. This is a quick-acting medicine. It'll help you stabilize your blood pressure. You can't afford to have high blood pressure in your current situation. Otherwise, it'll only increase the burden on your liver," the nurse threatened.

Leia wanted to act miserable, but she did not want to die. As such, she obediently kept the medicine in her mouth.

Queenie wiped her tears when she saw that Leia was willing to take the medicine. After the nurse left, she whispered, "What we know now is that he's the only person who's related to you by blood, which is why we thought about finding him to save your life. Leia, your dad and I made this decision for your own good."

Leia did not speak and continued to dissolve the medicine in her mouth. However, the look in her eyes grew more and more resentful.

When Queenie adopted her, she already had memories of her childhood.

All Dexter Shaw cared about was money. If she asked him for help, it was likely that he would extort her for money. She may not be able to get rid of him even if she recovered.

Leia hated people like Dexter Shaw.

Queenie understood what she was thinking about, so she patiently reassured Leia. "We don't have many options. The most important thing now is to find a suitable liver source for you, so please stop making a fuss, okay?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2250-The medicine under her tongue was quickly melted by saliva, and Leia was finally able to speak. She spoke with hatred, "He wanted to sell me and ruin my reputation! How can I not be angry at him?!"

Queenie quickly reassured her when she saw that Leia was getting agitated once more. "Okay, that's in the past. If we can find him and he's willing to help, please give him a chance to make it up to you."

Leia thought of what had happened back then. If Dexter had not disappeared into thin air, she certainly would not have ended things like that. "He disappeared so many years ago. How are you planning to find him? Maybe he already died at some random overpass."

Queenie frowned. 'Her hatred is too deep...'

"Leia, Luke agreed to help us find him. Don't get angry now. It's more important that you take good care of yourself and wait for our good news, okay?"

"Wait for Luke? How would he be so kind as to help me find Dexter? Also, if Dexter agrees to give me his liver, he'll definitely ask for a lot of money. Since we have to pay anyway, why can't I take that money to buy a liver from the black market? I don't want to use that filthy man's liver." Leia was itching with hatred. She could not believe that Luke was helping her out of goodwill.

She thought that it might be one of Luke's tricks to drag her down.

Queenie's mood darkened when she heard that Leia was still thinking of buying a liver from the black market. "Leia, everyone is trying to help you. No one can help you if you continue to be so stubborn."

"Help me? You and Dad only care about Bianca. When have you ever helped me? You didn't give me money when I needed it. Just let me die in this hospital." Leia was not in the best mood. She did not think that Queenie was helping her by asking Luke for help.

Queenie frowned, and there were tears in her eyes. She woke up bright and early so that she could make breakfast for Leia and tell her the good news.

However, Leia's attitude brought chills to her heart.

"Forget it. I know you're not in good health and mood. Enjoy your breakfast. I'll head off now." Queenie's tone was filled with disappointment. She picked up the thermal bag and left.

Leia did not ask her to stay.

The caretaker walked in after Queenie left.

Leia looked at the food on the table with a cold expression. It looked scrumptious, but she had no appetite. "Take these away."

The caretaker was surprised and replied, "Ms. Norman, you haven't even had a bite."

"I don't want to eat it. Throw it away." Leia stared at the caretaker. She was pissed at Queenie, so she did not want to touch the food she brought.

The caretaker thought that it was a pity to throw the untouched food.

Mandy's voice came from the door just as she was about to clear the table. "What are you throwing out?"

Leia frowned. "Why are you here?"

"I came to visit you. I have some interesting proposals to discuss with you. Wow, your breakfast looks great!" Mandy saw the inviting breakfast on the table and gulped her saliva.

"Mrs. Norman brought this," the caretaker said. She thought that the breakfast looked rich. It was a pity that Leia not only did not appreciate it but also wanted to throw it away.

Wasting food was terrible.

"Wow, your mother is so nice. How could you have her throw it away? I didn't eat breakfast. If you're not eating it, can I have it?" Mandy said. She was kicked out by Matysh as soon as she woke up. He asked her to go to the hospital to talk to Leia.

There was money on the line, so she did not even bother to eat breakfast before she rushed over.

"Whatever. I didn't touch it," Leia said with a stern expression when she saw that Mandy was interested in her food.

"I'll help myself, then." Mandy took the breakfast from the table to the coffee table. She was not in a hurry to eat. She said to Leia, "I have something to discuss with you. Have your caretaker give us some space."

"What do you want from me? Don't involve me if you want me to help you get a man." Leia frowned. Her life still depended on Johann, so she did not want to offend him.

Mandy held up her palm and said, "I promise that's not the case, okay?"

"Give us some space," Leia said to the caretaker.

"I'll be at the door. Ms. Norman, call me if you need anything," the caretaker said.

After the caretaker left, Leia said impatiently, "If you have something to say, get straight to it."

"Why are you so irritable? Do your parents still refuse to give you money even though you're seriously ill?" Mandy was familiar with Leia's situation.

"What's with the nonsense..." Leia's anger rose when Leia mentioned Jack and Queenie.

"Okay, calm down. I'm here today to share a profitable opportunity. If you're willing to work with Mr. Matysh, he can give you a lot of money." Mandy got straight to the point, but Leia was confused. novelbin

"Who's Matysh? I'm a living dead who can do nothing but lie in a hospital bed. How can I help you?" Leia frowned. She was not interested in her proposal.

"Matysh is a local baron in Russia. His family owns a multinational company. He's the first heir and has a lot of money. He wants to work with you because he's interested in the woman who stood beside Dr. Park yesterday." Mandy opened the box of croissants and took a greedy sniff of the baked goods. She could not wait to take a bite.

"Are you talking about Luca Craw?" Leia frowned. Luca was the only person in the ward yesterday... However, she was not sure as she was still knocked out then.

"It should be. She looks a little like me." Mandy pointed at her face.

"Matysh is interested in her? Does he want me to work with him to kidnap Luca?" Leia looked a little lazy. She did not expect that Luca would seduce other men.

"Kidnapping? That's illegal. Mr. Matysh just wants to get her, so he asked me to tell you that if he succeeds, you'll get a sum of money. You won't have to rely on your parents then." Mandy ate the croissant.

"Is it a lot of money?" Leia frowned.

"I promise you, it's the number you want. The man is very generous," Mandy said. She asked for the rough number that Matysh was willing to give Leia the night before and was shocked when she heard his reply.

It turned out that men could be very generous when there was a woman they wanted to get.

Leia's expression seemed a little complicated. Luca and Luke seemed to be close.

She needed some time to think about the matter. After all, she did not trust the man Mandy mentioned.

"What do you think?" Seeing that Leia was deep in thought, Mandy hurriedly said, "Let me tell you, if you hesitate, you'll miss this great opportunity. After all, he has also asked other people to help."

"I have to think about it. That woman saved my mother's life. On top of that, she has a strong backing." Although Leia did not want to admit it, it was the truth.

"So what if she saved your mother? Your mother is just your adoptive mother, and she hasn't been kind to you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be lying on the hospital bed now." Mandy opened another container as she muttered.
