Ch. 2261..2270

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2261-Although Leia was famous for being a difficult patient in their department, the head nurse felt happy for her to be able to get a liver transplant.

"The injections are for your late recovery, and you'll have to get the injections for three days consecutively," the head nurse explained to her as she placed the infusion bottles in front of Leia. Following the code of practice, she needed to ask, "What's your name?"

“Leia Norman,” answered Leia. She looked at Johann warily, who was standing behind faking a smile.

She had this feeling that Johann was up to something.

The nurse checked Leia's patient wristband. The name was correct, so she hung the solution bottle on the IV stand.

The bottle was not that huge. The nurse removed the solution bottle there and attached the new infusion bottle.

Johann instructed her when he saw that the drip rate was a little slow, “Speed it up."

"Make it even faster?" The head nurse turned around and glanced at Johann with a surprised look on her face.

The patient might feel uncomfortable if the drip rate went too fast.

"Yes." Johann was planning to tell her after she finished the injection.

The head nurse adjusted the speed of the drop rate after confirming with Johann.

Leia could feel a sharp pain in her arm and whined, "It hurts!"

The head nurse glanced at the solution bottle. It was still dripping. Johann did not say anything, so she did not do anything about it.

"Dr. Park, I shall leave first," she said to Johann.

Johann nodded. He sat on the sofa, quietly looking at Leia.

Leia felt uneasy about being stared at. She felt like something was about to happen.

She sat up on the bed and asked with a gloomy look on her face, "Why are you still here?"

"Some of the patients will have bigger reactions when they're given this infusion. I'm afraid that you might have allergic reactions." Johann smirked. The smile on his face failed to reach his eyes.

Leia could feel a chill seeping down her spine when she looked at his fake smile. Although Johann was kind to his patients, he was always smiling no matter what. He seemed like a friendly person.

However, Leia knew that Johann was not that kind of person.

Johann's smile was the same as Luke's expressionless face.

If Luke wanted her dead, he would have to find someone to harm her.

However, it was different for Johann. If he truly wanted her dead, he did not have to look for someone else. He could carry out his plans in secret without anyone knowing about it. He was a doctor, after all. He knew a lot about medicine...

"Don't you do skin testing for allergies before giving injections?" Leia immediately lowered her head and looked at her arm when she heard that she might have an allergy reaction.

She knew her condition well, and she was too weak to handle anything now.

Johann answered indifferently, “There's no need to. Only some of them would have allergies. There are low chances of getting allergies. Besides, I'm here with you. What are you scared of?”

Leia was rendered speechless.

Many patients would have wanted Johann to stay in their ward for 24 hours. After all, having him there would be a guarantee of their life.

However, Leia refused to face Johann because he was on Luke's side.

A shiver ran down her spine at the thought of her health statistics and data that might have been given to Luke.

The caretaker picked up the fruit bowl beside her and placed it in front of Johann. She said, "Dr. Park, would you like to have some fruits?”

"Thank you, but I don't eat when I'm working." Johann looked up without glancing at the fruit bowl. He then quietly looked at the infusion bottle that was dripping into Leia's vein.

Five minutes later, the small infusion bottle had been fully injected into Leia's vein.

Johann rose to his feet and changed to another infusion bottle. He removed the empty bottle.

Johann toyed with the small bottle in his hands. He was not in a hurry to leave the ward.

However, Leia urged him, "I'm not allergic to it, can you leave now?"

"Aren't you curious about what the solution is?" Johann came forward and let her see the bottle.

Leia was unable to understand the technical terms stated on the bottle, so she asked, "What is this?"

"It's to reduce the risks of transplant rejection after the surgery," Johann adjusted the speed back to normal and continued, "You'll have to be injected with this for three days consecutively. And you'll have the surgery in three days."

If it were a temporary liver, there was no need to receive these injections. However, in Leia's case, the chances of the body rejecting it was much higher.

Patients like Leia were able to decide the time of the transplant, and they would usually be given the shots in advance.

"Transplantation? Is there a donor?" Leia was exhilarated, but she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

If it was her turn to receive the transplant, she should be pushed into the surgery room immediately— not after three days.

Hence, the liver that would be transplanted into her body must be taken from someone alive.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Johann. "Is Dexter the liver donor?"

“You should be grateful that Luke was able to find Dexter this quick. Besides, he's agreed to donate half of his liver to you. At the same time, his body can still handle the surgery. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you won't be able to wait until your turn," Johann said in a calm tone. He continued when he saw the twisted expression on Leia's face, "Take it easy. You might find yourself getting wheeled into the emergency room if you don't calm yourself down now. Even the transplant won't be able to save your life."

Leia clasped the bedsheet tightly and questioned him in a hoarse voice, "Why isn't Dexter dead yet?!"

"Perhaps he knew that you couldn't make it through. That's why he's still alive, to save you." Although Johann did not believe in fate, he had predicted that Dexter might not be able to meet the requirements to be the liver donor. Who would have known that his health stats met all the requirements?

Therefore, Leia was destined to receive half of Dexter's liver.

"I don't need it. Ask him to get lost. I don't want his liver!" Leia exploded. She had made up her mind. She would rather take the risk to partner up with Matysh and get that money to buy the liver than to receive Dexter's filthy liver.

"You don't have a choice." The smile on Johann's face disappeared. "The injection we gave you is to activate the cells in your body so that they can accept a new liver better. There's no turning back after the first injection."

"What do you mean?!" Leia glared at him.

"What I mean is, if you don't undergo the liver transplant after you finish taking the injections, it'll speed up your liver metabolism, causing liver failure. Even if you only get one injection, it'll have the same effect on you. After taking all injections and not getting a liver transplant, you might have half a month left if you're lucky enough. Still, no matter how lucky you are after taking the first injection, you might only be able to make it to three weeks," said Johann.

"I've never heard of any medicine like that." Leia thought Johann was fooling her to force her to get the liver transplant.

"It's a newly imported medicine. I don't have to lie to you. If you still refuse to undergo the liver transplant a week later, I'd suggest you get discharged from the hospital and go back home to wait. It'll be useless when you wait until it's your turn to get the liver transplant." After that, Johann turned around and walked out of the ward.

Leia yelled at him from behind, "How could you make such a decision without my permission?!"

"It's because you signed the agreement. Your parents are the ones who make the decision for you. You're not the one who makes the decision. Plus, you should consider whether or not you're going to resume taking the injections tomorrow and if you should go for the liver transplant three days later. Tell me after you've decided so that I can arrange the operating room for your surgery, or you can get discharged from the hospital." Johann left once he finished talking.

He whistled after he closed the door.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2262-Johann was fooling Leia just now. The injection was given to her to prepare for the surgery.

However, it was not like what he had told her.

Johann knew Leia refused to take Dexter's liver. That was why he used such a way to bluff her. After all, for her, staying alive was much more important than being stubborn.

Still, Johann was not afraid that Leia would look into this. His tutor who was in New York told him that they were currently studying similar drugs to activate the cell activities in the human body, but there were also some similar side effects.

They were doing the research to see if they could remove the side effects so that the patient would have more choices.

Johann came to the nurses' station and reminded the head nurse, “Leia's reluctant to undergo the surgery. Please keep an eye on the solution bottles that she'll be taking these three days. It'll be best if you can handle it yourself. Don't answer her no matter what she asks."

"No problem. But why is she rejecting the offer?" The head nurse was confused. There were so many patients out there who had been waiting for an organ transplant for so long that they eventually gave up hope. Leia was different from them. How weird was it for her to reject such an offer?

"It's the patient's privacy. I can't tell," replied Johann as he threw a wink at her.

The head nurse pursed her lips and laughed. "Fine, Dr. Park. I'm old enough, so don't try to flirt with me. Anyway, you must have scared the hell out of her, right?"

"Otherwise, should I watch her refuse to go for the surgery?" It was not the first time Johann scared his patients.

The wealthier the patient was, the more stubborn they were.

They were worried that their lives would be threatened, but most of them could not accept the doctor's suggestions.

It was because they were afraid that they would not be able to stay alive after entering the operating room.

Johann could not guarantee that there was a 100 percent success rate for the surgery. That was why it was something Johann would normally do to deal with the patients who refused to undergo the surgery and miss out on the chance to receive treatment just because they were worried and anxious about it.

"That's true. But you'll have to report to the director about this. Otherwise, you're going to get scolded again," the head nurse reminded him.

Johann smiled and nodded. He was not planning to tell that old-fashioned man.

After all, what mattered the most was that Leia ended up safe and alive.

Furthermore, that old fogey was concerned about Leia's situation too. After all, Leia's father was Jack Norman. Hence, even though what Johann did was against the code of medical ethics, it did not matter as long as the final result was something the director wanted to see, right?

In the ward.

Leia got so angry that she threw the pillow at the wall.

The caretaker was shocked. She stood up and comforted Leia, “Ms. Norman, you have to calm down now."

"Get lost!" Leia's eyes reddened. She was boiling with anger, and she would not listen to anyone's advice no matter who it was.

The caretaker stiffened and stopped. She looked at her with a worried expression on her face.

Leia could feel that her heart was pounding faster and faster. It was not a good sign. She took a deep breath, trying hard to calm herself down.

"Where's my phone?" Leia asked. She was blinded with rage, and it was as though her eyesight was affected by the anger in her. Everything she saw before her eyes blacked out for a moment, then it was bright again. She narrowed her eyes and turned to look in the direction of the caretaker.

"It's on the bedside table," replied the caretaker. The caretaker was confused when she noticed that Leia was acting like someone who was short-sighted.

"Bring it to me," Leia sat on the bed without moving, acting just like a statue.

The caretaker walked there, picked up her phone, and placed it on Leia's palm.

"I have to make a call. Please leave me alone," Leia instructed.

"Okay." The caretaker was worried that she might get angry again, so she quickly left the ward.

Leia found Mandy's phone number and called her.

Mandy was shopping in the mall, choosing her new clothes. Her phone vibrated, and she immediately picked it up to glance at it. It was Leia who was calling her.

Mandy answered the call and asked, "Leia, have you thought about it?"

"Come to the hospital," said Leia.

Mandy looked at the new designs of the latest season and said solicitously, "I've got something to do here. Just tell me through the phone and I'll deliver the message to Mr. Matysh for you."

"I'm afraid someone's eavesdropping on our conversation on the phone. If you don't come, just take it as a no from me."

"Fine. I'll be on my way now. I'm at the mall. Would you like to grab something to drink?" Mandy asked. She immediately changed her attitude when she heard that Leia was going to reject her.

"What else can I drink when I'm in such a state now?" Leia frowned, thinking that Mandy was deliberately touching her sore spot.

Not only was she not allowed to drink beverages but she had to take care of her diet too.

Everything she ate was tasteless now. She was fed up with spending her days like this.

Mandy slowly replied, "I don't know much about your illness. Hang in there. I'll hail a ride and get there now."

Leia hung up the call and threw her phone aside.

Luke could be eavesdropping on her phone anytime now. That was why she had to be careful.

Mandy hurried to the hospital.

She pushed the door open and walked into Leia's ward. Before she could greet her, she directly asked Leia, “What's your decision? You agree to work with us, right?"

"Yes." Leia no longer hesitated.

"Okay. I'll tell Mr. Matysh your decision. Then we'll come up with a plan. You'll be able to get the sum of money and what you want after the plan succeeds," Mandy replied excitedly. She would receive another sum of money if Leia agreed.

"The plan can't be implemented that quickly." Leia frowned. "I'm going to have a liver transplant surgery in three days."

"What? You've already got a donor? Who's donating it to you?" Mandy was surprised.

"My biological father..." Leia clenched her teeth when she mentioned Dexter. There was hatred in her voice.

"Then why did you agree to work with us when you've already got a donor? Didn't you tell me that it's risky?" Mandy noticed Leia's hatred for her biological father when she mentioned him, and she changed the subject of the conversation.

"I need money," said Leia. Was Luke not trying to get rid of her?

Luca was so close to him. Hence, she should make Luke lose her.

"Honestly, although I hope that you'll agree to work with us, your foster parents aren't short of money. Why are you so desperate?" asked Mandy. Leia's family background was much better than the others.

"They don't treat me as their daughter anymore. I have to find a way to protect myself after I recover," said Leia. "I'll be able to walk again once the surgery is done and after I'm out of the woods. What does Matysh want me to do?"

"Uh, Mr. Matysh has mentioned it to me before. He wants you to lure that woman somewhere else. Then, his men will make their move. After it's done, the money will be transferred into your bank account," said Mandy. She sat on the sofa, picked up a bunch of grapes, and started eating.

"That's all?" Leia listened to their plan. It sounded familiar to her.

Leia had partnered up with someone else and used such a method to kidnap Bianca. That was how Luke lost his wife.

This time, she wanted him to lose the woman he loved again!

"What else can you do? You're sick. If you agree to help, I'll have to keep him steady for the time being. He's desperate, after all," Mandy smiled and replied. The burning desire Matysh had for Luca was completely released on her. That was why it struck Mandy deeply.

Leia had to wait until her surgery was done to be able to help them. So, Mandy had to calm Matysh down.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2263-"Sure." Leia and Mandy finally reached an agreement.

“Then I'm going back now. Wait for my good news. As your friend, I'll help you to get the highest price. After all, life has been hard for you too." Mandy pretended to have sympathy for Leia, but honestly, did she have anything to do with Leia's life or death?

If it were not for the money, Mandy would not have come here again and again.

After Mandy left, Leia shot a glance at the drip solution. It was almost done.

Then, she pressed the patient call bell.

The head nurse pushed the door open, came in, and asked, “What's the matter?"

“The solution has finished." Leia had already calmed herself down.

“Okay. Wait a minute." The head nurse turned around and left. After a while, she came back and removed the needle from Leia's arm. Then, she injected some saline solution into the vein catheter and sealed it.

“Everything that Johann told me. Is it true?" Leia looked at the head nurse and asked.

After the nurse disinfected the vein catheter, she smiled and looked at Leia. “I have no idea what Dr. Park told you. I'm a nurse. I know nothing about professional medical knowledge."

Leia did not continue to figure out whether what Johann said was true or not. After all, what mattered the most now was for her to recover her health.

The only way to stop Luke's revenge was to get well.

“Then please tell Johann that I've decided to have the surgery. Show me what he's got. Bring it on." Leia gritted her teeth.

She was unconvinced at the thought of getting fooled by Johann twice.

“Ms. Norman, are you listening to what you're saying? Oh dear... Honestly, the surgery means alot to patients like you. It's a good thing. After the transplant surgery is done, even if you've recovered, you'll have to take your medicine on time and come back for check-ups. Only then will you not have to stay in the hospital anymore," replied the head nurse. There were so many people out there who wanted a chance like this, but they were not given the chance.

However, the way Leia said it was as though she was going to the execution ground.

Indeed, people who did not know how to appreciate could never learn how to appreciate.

Leia curled her lips in disdain while she listened to what the head nurse said.

The head nurse picked up the empty solution bottle and left. She told Johann that Leia had decided to undergo the surgery.

At the same time, Luke found out that Leia was willing to accept the surgery.

He put down his phone without an expression on his face. His cold gaze swept across the senior managers of the company and he said, “Continue the meeting."

“Yes, Boss." Jason took the proposal report from the planning department manager as he handed it to him. Then, he handed the report to Luke.

On the other hand.

Mandy was sitting on the poolside of the heated pool in the hotel, telling Matysh about Leia's decision to cooperate with them. She let Matysh know about her current situation as well.

Matysh was delighted at first, but he became impatient after knowing that he had to wait until Leia recovered. Only then could he work with her. "Why is she so meddlesome?"

"Mr. Matysh, look at the bright side." Mandy, who was beside him, said in a dulcet voice, "Didn't you say that they're starting to suspect something? Let's keep quiet for a few days and stop asking Bill's men to follow her. Let them lower their guards. After Leia is done with her surgery, she'll help us get that woman in one fell swoop. Isn't that better?"

Matysh fell silent, pondering the suggestion.

Mandy added when she noticed that he was not saying anything, "Honestly, I truly think that this idea is much better than following that woman. Following her will only make them more alert and cautious. Then, they'll send more men to protect that woman. How long will it take for someone overly cautious like Bill to kidnap that woman?"

"We'll do exactly what you suggested, but can you guarantee Leia can get out of the operating room alive?" Matysh decided.

"How can I guarantee that? She's having an organ transplant surgery. It's a high risk surgery. But you won't lose anything even if she dies during the surgery, right?"

What Mandy said won his heart.

"Yeah, you're right." Matysh was satisfied. He jumped and dived into the pool.

"One more thing. I think they've probably found out that Bill works for you. So, why don't we take a few days off and go for a vacation? That can lower their guards too," Mandy suggested. A new holiday

resort had opened in the neighbouring city. She wanted to head there to take some vacation photos.

However, it was expensive there. She could barely afford it. That was why she wanted to bring Matysh along with her. That way, someone would be paying her expenses.

"That makes sense too. But are you sure you're not the one who wants to go for a vacation?" Matysh swam up to the surface. His sharp gaze seemed to have read her mind.

"Fine. I'm the one who wants to go on a vacation, and I can go by myself. But isn't it better for you to go with me so that they can lower their guards? Besides, that woman is working in A City. She can't possibly run to somewhere else. That's why I told you to ask Bill's men to stop following her. We have someone to keep an eye on her. Are you still afraid that she's going to escape?" Mandy dived into the water and swam toward him.

Matysh was thinking about what she said.

“The holiday villa is just in the neighbouring city. If we both leave together, they'll probably think that you've given up." Mandy smiled. There were no security cameras there. She could say whatever she wanted, and what she said had pleased him too.

"Fine." Matysh agreed.

"Great! I believe that woman will soon be delivered to you with her hands tied when we come back," Mandy kept on saying things Matysh liked to hear to fawn over him.

Mandy was a clever woman. She was able to manipulate the man after she knew what the man wanted.

Not only was it good for Matysh's plans, but she could also fulfil her wish of going on a vacation at the same time.

She would receive a sum of money after she returned from the vacation. Mandy was delighted at the thought of this. The pain she felt after getting turned down by Johann was gone at once.

The next day.

Luke received news from Gale that Matysh had checked out from the suite, packed his luggages, and headed out together with Mandy.

Now, his men were following Matysh to find out where he was heading to.

Luke frowned after he heard the news. Did Matysh pack his luggages and leave?

He even checked out from the hotel.

"Follow him. Don't lose track of him," Luke instructed.

"Boss, don't worry. I've sent Ross to follow him. He's capable, and he won't lose him," Gale assured him.

After Luca helped the kids get into Zander's car, she returned to the villa.

She needed to get herself ready and head out.

After putting on her coat, she looked at Luke, who was sitting on the sofa. He did not say anything, so she asked, "Mr. Crawford, do you have other arrangements today?"

"No," Luke answered while his fingers were tapping rhythmically on the leather sofa.

Tap, tap...

Luca knew Luke had something in mind, and she decided not to disturb him. When she was about to leave after picking up her briefcase, she heard Luke saying, "Matysh checked out from the hotel. He

took Mandy with him and left."

"Ah." Luca paused as she was surprised to hear that. She turned around and looked at the man. "Is he going back to Russia?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2264-However, Luke did not think he returned to Russia. “He won't bring Mandy along with him if he's going back to Russia."

He knew Matysh was a person who discriminated against people because of their race.

Matysh knew what it meant to bring a foreign woman back to Russia.

Mandy was merely a woman he paid to satisfy his desires. Rationally speaking, she did not deserve to stand beside Matysh.

Luca bit her lower lip. She thought Matysh had given up the thought of getting her the moment she heard Matysh had checked out of the hotel.

"Then, he's..." Luca could not understand.

"We don't know his destination yet. My men are following him. Don't worry. Everything will be fine," Luke comforted her.

Luca believed in him. She nodded and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm leaving for work."

"Okay. Even though Matysh has checked out of the hotel and we haven't tracked him down yet, don't let your guard down," Luke reminded. He was worried that Matysh was distracting them, and his purpose was to make them lower their guards.

"I know," replied Luca. She knew this was not a joke. Hence, she kept her guard up and said, "I'm going to the office."

"Okay," replied Luke. He sat on the sofa, trying to figure out Matysh and the other matters.

Gale had been eavesdropping on Matysh when he was in his suite, but he never heard anything about him leaving.

Could it be that Matysh had already known that they were eavesdropping on him and that was why they checked out of that suite?

However, they could have asked to change to another room instead of checking out. Matysh even changed the hotel.

Luke opened the app on his phone. He had asked Adrian to help him to develop the app. As long as his subordinate's phone signal was on, he only had to enter the code to track down the person's exact location.

Luke keyed in Ross' code.

Two seconds later, Ross' location appeared on his phone screen as a red dot.

The red dot was still moving, which indicated that Ross was following Matysh. They were slowly moving toward his destination.

Luke turned on his laptop and found A City's map. Then, he compared Ross' location to the map...

It only took a few minutes for him to figure out that Matysh seemed to be heading to the rail station.

Luke immediately called Gale and said, “Matysh should be heading to the rail station."

“Okay. Let me make some arrangements now," replied Gale. He immediately used Ross' ID card to book a train ticket on the booking app just in case he had to get onto it.

If Matysh and Mandy were going to the railway station, then Ross would need a train ticket to enter the station. That way, he would be able to find out where they were heading to.

Luke hung up the call. He watched the red dot that indicated Ross' location heading toward the railway station. Then, he turned off his laptop and phone app. He rose to his feet.

He had to go back to T Corporation to work.

Matysh wanted to get Luca? Dream on!

Half an hour later, Luke was sitting in his office. He received the latest news from Gale.

"Boss, you're amazing. He's really heading to the railway station. And the ticket I bought for Ross happens to be on the same train they're taking. They're heading directly to B City without stopping."

Luke frowned when he heard Gale's report. He said, "Ask Ross to meet our men in B City and find out what Matysh is doing there."

"Yes, Boss." Gale hung up the call excitedly.

Luke looked calm on the outside, and he did not feel happy just because he found out Matysh's destination.

Matysh was headed to B City instead of going back to Russia. That was why he was not very happy about it.

He was just lucky.

The train ticket Gale randomly booked happened to be the train that Matysh got into.

Ross would be able to track him down to the next city.

On the railway.

Matysh frowned unhappily and asked, "The new transport you meant was this?"

"Yes. This is the train. Russia should have these, right? But I heard that it's not that popular yet. In our country, taking the train is much more convenient than traveling by plane," Mandy took the coffee from the waitress.

After Matysh agreed to bring her to B City for a vacation, he gave her a credit card and told her that she could use the card to pay for the holiday expenses.

When Mandy was choosing which mode of transport to take, she initially thought of taking the plane. However, there were hardly any flights going to B City, and there were no business class seats for the remaining flights.

Judging from Matysh's personality, he would never get up on a plane if he was not sitting in the business class section. Mandy had no choice but to book the premier seat on the train.

After all, it was only a couple of hours. Although the premium seats of the train were not as luxurious as business class seats on the plane, it was still acceptable.

However, Mandy did not expect that Matysh would be dissatisfied.

“How can someone with a high social status like me take the train? Trains are for the low social class!"

Matysh's words caught the attention of the man who was sitting on the premier seat who was sitting near the aisle.

Mandy felt awkward.

The person could clearly understand what Matysh was saying.

Mandy had no choice but to comfort the man beside her, saying, "There are no business class seats for the flight today. That's why I chose the train. The premier seat of the train is comfortable, and we're

only an hour away from our destination. Please bear with me."

"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't give a damn about you." Matysh crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Mandy smiled apologetically and said, "Come on. I'm sorry. Okay, I'll book the return flight in advance later. We'll take the plane to go back to A City."

Matysh did not say a word.

The train slowly began to move.

At the same time, Ross talked to the crew. After he found out that there were premium seats available, he paid the extra money and asked for a premium seat just to get closer to Matysh and Mandy.

The only seat left was the one behind Matysh and Mandy's seats.

Ross was satisfied. That way, he would be able to eavesdrop on their conversation.

An hour later.

The train arrived at B City.

Mandy happily walked arm in arm with Matysh and got out of the railway station. Then, she assured him, "Don't worry. The holiday resort I booked is the most luxurious one. Their staff will be picking us up."

Matysh was still keeping a poker face because he thought that someone with high social status like him should not be taking the train. It was unsuitable.

"Have the people at the holiday resort ever seen their customers travel here by train?"

"Why not? Let me tell you. The wealthier a person is, the more he's afraid to get into an accident. The train is a safer transport compared to the others. It wasn't a long journey, and the wealthy get to choose from so many options," Mandy explained to him.

Matysh sneered disdainfully, refusing to believe what she said.

Mandy knew Matysh was not convinced. She did not force him to believe in her either. Therefore, she directly contacted the person who was in charge of picking them up and found the car that came to pick them up.

The car that came to pick them up was a Mercedes, but there was a logo of the holiday resort printed on the car. Everything looked cheap and vulgar to Matysh.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2265-Matysh was pushed into the car by Mandy.

“Is this the best transport the holiday resort could provide to its customers?" Matsyh looked at the chauffeur in front of them and asked disdainfully.

"No, sir. If you're dissatisfied with our transport, you may choose a more luxurious car. But you'll have to pay more." The chauffeur could sense the contempt in his voice. Hence, he smiled and recommended another option for him.

"Do I look like I can't afford it?" Matysh asked querulously. He thought the chauffeur was being snobbish.

The chauffeur followed the principle of 'the customers are always right' and explained to him, "The car I'm driving now is only available for the basic package as you've reserved a villa in our resort. If there are no upgrade requirements, we'll provide our customers with the transport for the basic package. If you'd like to upgrade the package, you may inform the reception when you're checking in."

"What's the best transportation provided?" Matysh shrugged off Mandy, who was leaning on his shoulder. He was unhappy with the arrangements she made.

This woman did not know how to spend money. She was worse than Marcos.

"Do you prefer to drive yourself or would you like a chauffeur? If you're driving yourself, our most luxurious car will be a Bugatti, but if you need a chauffeur, the highest class of transport will be a Rolls- Royce," the chauffeur explained to him patiently.

"We'll need a chauffeur," Mandy immediately replied.

She had only come up with such arrangements only because she was worried that she would be spending too much and Matysh would be unhappy about it.

However, she did not expect Matysh to be asking for the best. He was nothing like a European noble, but he seemed like a parvenu.

He was so much different from his nephew.

The chauffeur glanced at them through the rearview mirror. He could not help but wonder as this was his first time running into such a situation.

No matter how wealthy a person was, they came here for a vacation. Enjoying the stay and having fun was all that mattered.

However, this man had blown his mind. He wanted everything he used to be the best as though they were free.

Mandy did not care what the chauffeur thought about them and whined, “Hey, stop being mad. I only made such arrangements just because I thought of helping you to save some money."

"Is this even considered expensive?" Matysh gave her a cold stare. The woman who claimed to be helping him to save the money was also finding a way to bleed him dry.

Women were the same!

Mandy smiled and said, "It's not expensive, indeed. Okay, I got it. Stop being mad."

A hint of impatience flashed across Matysh's eyes as he said to her, "Everything I use must be the very best. I won't lay my eyes on something less than that."

"Okay. I understand," If Matysh were not her sugar daddy, she would not have replied to him immediately.

They headed to the holiday resort. Matysh did not notice that there was a taxi following behind them since they left the railway station.

Ross was sitting in the taxi, watching their car drive into the holiday resort. Then, he reported to Gale the situation now.

"Mr. Gale, they've entered Peace Valley Villa."

"Peace Valley Villa? Why does that sound familiar to me?" Gale frowned. He could not remember it in the first instance. He had no choice but to give up and say, "Okay. Find a hotel nearby and keep an eye on them. Our men in B City will be following your instructions."

"Got it, Mr. Gale," replied Ross. He took out a banknote and handed it to the taxi driver. He told him to keep the change and walked into the hotel opposite the holiday resort and booked a room for himself.

A City.

T Corporation.

Luke listened to Gale's report and learned that Matysh had gone to Peace Valley View. His eyes darkened at once.

After Gale finished reporting to him, he scratched the back of his head and asked, "Boss, why does the name of the resort, Peace Valley View, sound familiar to me?"

"The place was developed by Jim Holston," Luke reminded him.

"Oh, yes. It's him. That's why it sounds familiar to me," Gale clapped his hands once and he recalled it. Jim had even invited him to his resort for a holiday.

However, he had been busy, so that was how the matter ended.

The owner of the place Matysh was vacationing in belonged to someone they knew, and he was one of Luke's friends.

Coincidences like this happened over and over again. Gale could not help but exclaim, "Boss, why do I have this feeling that even God is helping us? It'll be easy to keep him under surveillance if he's staying in Mr. Holston's resort this time."

"Yeah," Luke nodded. He did not believe in fate, but such a coincidence made things much easier for him.

"I'll leave Jim to you," said Luke.

"Got it, Boss. I promise to watch Matysh like a hawk," Gale assured him.

After Gale left, Luke continued with his work.

Matysh was gone for the time being. It gave Luke the chance to relax a little, and it also gave him more time to handle his work at the office.

When it was noontime, he compared the time difference between his country and Russia. He thought that Marcos should have woken up by now, and he made a call.

The call was answered in a few seconds.

“Good morning, Mr. Crawford." Marcos' voice sounded a little shaky.

Luke could hear it in his voice and said, "Good morning, Mr. Marcos. I have something to tell you."

"Is it about my mother?" Marcos lowered his voice and asked. He sounded desperate as though he wanted to see his mother now.

"My men have found some leads and they're still investigating it. We'll need some time. The reason I called you is to tell you something about Matysh." Luke went straight to the point.

"Okay. Go ahead." Marcos was a little disappointed. He thought it was about his mother.

"Matysh left A City, but he's not going back to Russia. Instead, he brought the woman who looks like Luca with him and headed to B City for a vacation. You know him well, so I'd like to ask what he's up to?"

"I'm not sure either, but I can assure you that he hasn't given up yet. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought that woman with him to B City. Stay alert," replied Marcos.

"I know, but I'd like you to help me with something," Luke told him the purpose of making this call.

"Yes, sure."

"Help me to get in Matysh's head. I'd like to find out how long he'll be staying there," Luke requested.

"I know what to do. I'll call back an hour later." Marcos promised to help him. He paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Crawford,"

"Yes?" Luke did not say much as he knew Marcos had something to tell him.

"I don't want Matysh to come back alive. If he's still alive, I hope he comes back a disabled man," said Marcos. Throughout this time, he had been reading the letter his mother had left him. The hatred in his heart was growing stronger day after day.

The whole family should feel sorry for what they had done to his parents.

However, the man who went out of line was Matysh. Hence, Marcos thought of getting rid of Matysh first.

"I'll try my best." Luke did not promise him and responded that way.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2266-Noontime.

Jason carried a lunchbox to Luke's office. The door was left ajar. He knocked on the door and said, “Boss, Aunt Neile came to deliver lunch for you and Dr. Craw."

"Bring it in," said Luke. He was waiting for Marcos' reply.

Ten minutes ago, Marcos told him that he would call Matysh to find out what he was doing.

Therefore, Luke was waiting for the result.

Jason gently placed the lunchbox at the corner of the desk and said, "Boss, I'm going downstairs for lunch if there's nothing else you'd like me to do."

"Go ahead." Luke's gaze had never left the phone screen.

After Jason left his office, Luke's phone vibrated.

Luke unlocked his phone screen. It was a message from Marcos: [He's not planning to go back to Russia yet. He'll be staying for another half a month at least.]

Luke's eyes darkened. Matysh had not given up yet!

Luke sneered. Since Matysh was not planning to go back home, then he would make sure Matysh could not go back.

[Thanks. I'll inform you once there's any other news.] He could feel Marcos' resentment, but some things could not be rushed.

It worked the same for vengeance.

Luke grabbed the lunchbox and headed downstairs to the laboratory.

He ran into Zoey when he walked out of the elevator.

"Good afternoon, Boss," Zoey quickly put her phone aside and greeted him.

"Is Dr. Craw in her office?" Luke asked.

"Yes. Dr. Craw just came out of the lab. She was carrying a pile of documents and heading to her office," Zoey elaborated.

Luke headed toward Luca's office with the lunchbox in his hands.

He knocked on the door, and Luca's voice came from inside, "Who's there?"

"It's me." Luke was holding the door handle, and he did not immediately push the door open.

A few seconds later, Luca opened the door. “Mr. Crawford?"

“Aunt Neile brought us lunch." Luke walked into her office carrying the lunchbox.

Luca looked outside her office. No one was passing by her office door. She quickly closed the door.

"Did you ask Aunt Neile to deliver it here?" Luca could not help but ask. Aunt Neile had been delivering their lunch to the office for three days consecutively.

Although the distance between the villa and the office was not too far away, it was cold outside and there could be heavy snow anytime. It was inconvenient for Aunt Neile to come back and forth.

Luke opened the lunchbox and denied it. "The old master thinks that it's unhealthy to have takeouts.

That's why he asked Aunt Neile to bring our lunch here."

Luca slightly frowned.

It was Old Master Crawford who asked Aunt Neile to deliver lunch?

Luke used to have takeouts back then, and Old Master Crawford did not say anything about it.

"Stop thinking about it. It's difficult to figure out what's in the old master's mind." Luke knew what Luca was thinking about.

Even though they had been separated for three years, he was still able to guess what Luca was thinking from her gestures and expressions.

Luca came back to her senses and sat down on the sofa.

Luke placed a sandwich on the plate in front of her and said, "Have some. Aunt Neile even made us soup."

Luca unconsciously replied, "What soup did she prepare?"

"I don't know." Luke opened the thermos bottle and showed it to her. "What soup is this?"

"Minestrone soup with beef." Luca recognized it when she looked at the ingredients added to the soup.

There were carrots, leeks, and cannellini beans added to the soup. It was rich in fiber and collagen, which was good for the skin.

"Okay. It's suitable for you." Luke picked up the thermos bottle and poured some soup into a bowl.

Although the weather was cold, the office was warm and the temperature was just right. Hence, the soup had to be left there to cool for a while.

Luca reckoned that Aunt Neile had made this soup because she thought that Luca's period would be over soon. That was why she needed a lot of nutrients.

Drinking soup like this could provide nutrients for her body.

After Luke took another sandwich, he closed the lid of the thermos bottle and put it aside. Then, he said, "I'll leave the rest of the soup for you. You can drink it in the afternoon."

"Mr. Crawford, you should have some more," Luca suggested when she noticed that Luke had only poured a bowl of soup for himself.

Luke picked up his cutleries and helped Luca with the food instead of helping himself.

He placed some other food on Luca's plate and said, "Isn't the soup prepared for women?"

"This soup can provide nutrients to your body. You can drink it too," Luca explained. She picked up the disposable bowl and poured the soup into it and placed it in front of Luke.

Aunt Neile specially made this for them, and it was not only because of her. After all, the soup provided additional health benefits.

Luca's body would not be able to stand the heat if she finished all the soup.

"Okay." Luke stared at the soup Luca filled up in the bowl for him, and he smiled.

Luca picked up her plate and began to eat.

Luke had helped her with a few pieces of grilled chicken pieces, so she finished eating them first.

"By the way, Mr. Crawford, where did Matysh go?" Luca asked the question that was on her mind the whole morning.

"He took Mandy with me and headed to B City for a vacation," Luke did not hide it from her.

Luca was surprised. Vacation?

Matysh went on a vacation, and Luca was slightly surprised to hear that.

"What the hell is he doing?" Luca could not help but mumble to herself. She was still on edge, worried that she would give Matysh the chance to get her once she lowered her guard.

Now that he had gone for a vacation with someone else, he made it look like he was not concerned about her anymore.

It would be great if he truly gave up on her.

Luca furrowed her brows. She was worried that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"He wants you," Luke answered on behalf of Matysh. Even though he was in B City now, he had no intention of giving up Luca.

Luke was pretty sure about that.

Luca slowly looked down. She did not want to become Matysh's target either.

If she knew this day would come, she would have pretended to be sick and stayed in the hotel when Marcos invited them to his mansion for the celebration.

Then, she would not have gotten herself into trouble.

Luke noticed the troubled look on Luca's face and made a promise. "I won't let anything happen to you. Matysh isn't going to succeed no matter how precise his plan is."

'I'll protect you.'

Luke did not say that sentence.

Some things were better left unsaid. It was not because Luke was unable to say that to her. He was just worried that Luca would keep her distance if he said so.

"Okay... Thank you, Mr. Crawford," Luca felt much better.

Luke continued to help her with the food.

"Mr. Crawford, that's enough. I won't be able to finish them all later," said Luca. She did not have the habit of wasting food. She lifted her hand to stop him from helping her with the food.

Luke had no choice but to place it on his plate.

While he was eating, he said, "Do you know that Leia's surgery will be performed the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes," Luca nodded. Queenie had told her yesterday.

Queenie called her and told her about it. Luca could sense the excitement in her voice at the other end of the line.

After Leia had the surgery, everything would be back to normal like how it used to be. Other than going for the follow-ups and medication after the surgery, she could live like an ordinary person.

Leia had been sick for so long. Not only was she worn out from being sick, but she was also hurting Queenie's heart. How could she not be happy?

"That's great. Ms. Norman is getting well soon," said Luca. Queenie would be relieved when Leia finally recovered.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2268-If something happened to Luca, she would have no choice but to ask for help from the stronghold of the Island of Despair in A City.

However, that way, Abel would know everything she did.

There was no doubt that it was a sign...

Luca furrowed her brows as her nerves jangled. She rose to her feet and headed to the women's toilet. Then, she said, “Don't worry about me."

"I'll try to get out of there again." Amur was worried about her being alone in A City.

"It's alright, Amur. If he wants you back on the Island of Despair, just go back. Eler must miss you too," Luca shook her head. She did not want Amur to take the risk.

If Abel really agreed to let Amur out, he would assign difficult missions for him.

Luca did not want Amur to get injured again just because of her.

"But.." Amur paused for a moment. He wanted to stay by her side.

If he was asked to return to the Island of Despair, he would miss Luca and worry about her. After all, Luca was not safe here.

"Help me look after Nyla after you're back. She's intellectually curious now. I'm worried that she might learn something bad from the people on the Island of Despair." said Luca. Although Eler was looking after Nyla, Eler had to work too, so she could not take care of Nyla all day.

If no one was keeping an eye on her, it would deprave a child's character easily.

Especially since Luke's children were unusually smart.

Nyla learned how to speak when she was only nine months old. Not only that, Nyla could speak Russian and English now.

Russians were not the only ones on the Island of Despair. That was why Nyla could speak the languages of other countries. Although she could not speak fluently, she had no problem communicating with others.

Luca never wanted Nyla to have too much contact with the people on the Island of Despair.

However, even though she watched over her, things might not end up as she wished. After all, how could a child who was born on the Island of Despair not be influenced by the people there?

"I." Amur paused for a moment and eventually said, "Okay. I'll look after Nyla."

“Thank you. I'll be relieved knowing that you're looking after her," Luca thanked him. She knew things would be more difficult for her in the future without Amur helping her.

However, Abel had always been such a person. He would appear and place obstacles in her way when she thought things were getting better.

That was why Luca did not depend on Amur too much. She would not ask for Amur's help if it was something she could handle.

Even though no one was helping her, she could depend on herself. She would not get knocked down by Abel easily.

Luca let out a sigh when she noticed that her lunch break would be over soon. She said, "Okay, Amur. I'm going to work. Have a safe journey."

"Okay..." Amur was reluctant to part with her. He did not want to see Luca together with Luke again, but it was useless no matter how hard he tried to stop them.

Amur would not be able to know what was going on between Luca and Luke after he went back. He felt uncomfortable at the thought of it. It was as though countless tiny sandstones were churning in his heart.

"Nyla and I will be waiting for your good news on the Island of Despair.."

Amur hung up the call as soon as he finished his sentence.

The Island of Despair, huh.

Luca was left in a daze. If it were not for Nyla, who was still in there, she would never have thought of going back there in the future.

However, Nyla was their daughter!

Hence, even if she found the antidote, she would still return to the Island of Despair. She would save Nyla, Eler, and her brother and get them out of there on her own.

Luca walked out of the washroom holding her phone in her hands. She ran into Zoey who just walked in.

"Good afternoon, Dr. Craw," Zoey smiled and greeted her.

"Good afternoon," replied Luca. She remembered that there were documents that needed to be photocopied, so she said, "Oh, Ms. Davis, there's a pile of documents on my desk that I need you to photocopy for me. Please get the documents from me when you're available. I need eight sets of them for each document."

"Okay. No problem. I'll head to your office later," replied Zoey. Then, she entered the washroom.

After Luca put on her white coat, she marched into the laboratory and continued with her research.

The following day.

When Luca woke up in the morning, Luke had already gotten out of bed as usual.

Luca sat up on her bed and looked at the closed bedroom door. If she got it right, Luke was already working in his bedroom which was right opposite her room.

There were two bedrooms, but the bedroom seemed to have become Luke's study after some time. Meanwhile, he shared her bedroom.

After Luca cleaned herself up, she headed downstairs, planning to help Aunt Neile to prepare breakfast.

Who would have known that the moment she made her way down the stairs, Aunt Neile had already served breakfast on the table?

"Aunt Neile, why are you so early today?" Luca asked with surprise.

“Uh, Ms. Craw, I came here early today because I thought of picking up my grandson after making breakfast. Then I'll head to the supermarket to get some groceries..." explained Aunt Neile.

Luca remembered that Aunt Neile's grandson was a year younger than Tommy, and he was already going to kindergarten.

The child did not go to kindergarten today, so Aunt Neile would be bringing him along with her. Luca asked, "What's wrong? Is your grandson still sick?"

"Yes. He's still having a fever. Sometimes, the fever is gone, but it would come again. The teacher was worried that she couldn't take care of him, so she suggested the child stay at home and come back to the kindergarten after he has recovered. You know, my son and daughter-in-law have to work every

day. The company didn't approve their leave. That's why I have no choice but to bring the child with me before they go to work. Ms. Craw, don't worry. Even if I bring him here, I'll carry him with me. He won't make a mess of this place. Besides, my daughter-in-law will be getting off work early today. She'll come to pick him up after she gets off work. We won't disturb your children," Aunt Neile assured.

It was inappropriate to bring a child to work, but Aunt Neile was left with no choice.

If it were not for her daughter-in-law being unable to take the day off, she would not have done something like this.

"Aunt Neile, don't worry. If you bring the child here, just leave him here. He's a good child. I believe he won't mess things up. Plus, the maid room on the first floor has been tidied. If the child is tired or sleepy, let him rest in the room." Luca understood it was not easy for Aunt Neile, so she made the decision on behalf of Luke.

Luca knew Luke would say that too when he heard it.

“Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Craw!" Aunt Neile let out a sigh of relief when Luca agreed to let her bring her grandson here. “Um, is Mr. Crawford up yet? I'll have to inform him."

“He's up and he's working in his bedroom. Bring his breakfast upstairs," replied Luca. Although breakfast was ready, Luca was not planning to wake the children up.

Children needed more time to rest. Getting more sleep was physically and mentally healthy for them.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2269-Luca turned around and walked into the kitchen when she remembered that Tommy was craving custard tarts yesterday.

Luca took out the defrosted puff pastry that she had taken out yesterday. She made the custard paste to prepare yummy custard tarts for the kids.

Luca took the custard tarts out and placed two of them on a small plate. Those were for Luke.

Although Luke did not like sweet food, he would always eat everything she made back then. Hence, she handed the small plate to Aunt Neile and said, “Aunt Neile, please bring this upstairs. Then leave the rest to me. Go and get the child."

"Okay, Ms. Craw. Thank you!" Aunt Neile was delighted. She had already informed Luke and gotten his permission.

If she went to get her grandson now, her daughter-in-law would not be late for work. That would be for the best.

Aunt Neile brought the custard tarts upstairs. She knocked on the bedroom door and entered, "Mr. Crawford, these custard tarts were prepared by Ms. Craw. Would you like to have some?"

The nice buttery smell of the custard tarts lightened up a dull morning.

"Put them down," replied Luke.

"Okay, Mr. Crawford." Aunt Neile placed the plate of custard tarts on the table and left the villa in a hurry to pick her grandson up.

Luca had breakfast with the kids downstairs.

"Ms. Luca, why is Daddy so busy lately?" Tommy took a bite of the custard tart he had been craving and asked Luca.

"Mr. Crawford has always been busy," replied Luca. She took another custard tart and placed it on Tommy's plate since Tommy liked it so much.

Luke used to work overtime at night back then. He would only rest after finishing his work. By the time he finished everything, it was already before dawn.

However, Luke would only work until half past 11 at night these days. He would climb onto the bed and cuddle with her to sleep. He would leave the rest of the documents for the next day.

His break time did not increase or decrease, but his work time had changed.

"Daddy wouldn't wake up early to work back then. He would only work from night time till morning," Tommy mumbled. He could not help but wonder why after the past few days.

Luca had no idea how to answer him. Hence, she turned to look at Rainie, “Rainie, we'll be receiving the photos of your performance last time. Where would you like to put them?"

Luca had taken many photos of Rainie last time. Luca found someone on the internet who was professional in editing photos and asked him to process the photos in batches. Then, she went to the framing shop and framed a few photos.

Rainie exclaimed happily, "Really? Then I'd like to have one in my bedroom. And one on Daddy's desk. Oh, and another one on Ms. Luca's desk!"

"Can I?" Luca was surprised. She had a collection of Rainie's photos, but she was in no position to put Rainie's photo on her desk.

"Ms. Luca, you were the one who helped me to take the photos. Of course, you can put it on your desk!" Rainie blinked her eyes. The little girl was so attentive. She could sense that it was not because Luca was unwilling to do so but she was just being careful.

"Okay. Then I'll put one on my desk too. If they ask me who the girl in the photo is, I'll tell them she's an outstanding little ballet dancer," Luca smiled. She picked up a custard tart and placed it in front of Rainie. "Have some more."

Tommy immediately raised his hand when he heard her. "Ms. Luca, you'll also have to put my photo on your desk. Lanie's too. Put our photos on your desk. We're the brothers of a ballet dancer!"

"Okay. I'll put your photos on my desk. Let me take another photo for you after you come back from school. Then I'll send it to the shop and print it out, okay?" Luca gave him a bright smile when she looked at how excited Tommy was.

It felt great to have them as her company.

"That's great!" Tommy nodded and glanced at his brother, Lanie. "Brother, what do you think? Let's put the photo in our bedroom!"

"Sure," Lanie nodded. There was a trace of excitement on his cool little face.

Luca gave Lanie a gentle smile when she looked at him. Although Lanie looked cool, just like a mini version of Luke, he was still a child, after all. He longed for the warmth of family too.

Children loved their families.

After breakfast, Luca brought them to Zander's car and watched them leave from behind. Then, she turned around and walked back into the house.

Luke told her that Leia's surgery was arranged to be performed at nine in the morning. That was why they did not have to go early.

Leia would be frightened to see him.

Luca could not be bothered that much. Leia did not like her, after all. She went there only to keep Queenie's company.

Queenie would be busy comforting Leia if she went there too early. Luca did not want to see that.

It was not because Luca would feel jealous when Queenie was concerned about Leia. She would feel sorry for her instead.

After all, Queenie was already at the age of waiting for her children to fulfill their filial duties. She was so worried about Leia that strands of silver hair had started to show up on her head and her wrinkles had deepened.

Mrs. Norman, who used to be elegant and graceful, had become old and hoary during this time.

Luca refused to see such a scene.

Hence, she was not in a hurry to go there.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2270-The operating room was colder than the outside. Luca was worried that Queenie would catch a cold if she sat there for a few hours.

Queenie shook her head, refusing to change her seat. She stared at the operating room and said, “I'll just sit here."

"Mrs. Norman, Ms. Norman will need you to take care of her after the surgery. You have to take care of yourself. You'll catch a cold easily..." Luca knew she was not easy to convince. She knew Queenie must be thinking of being the first to stand up when the doctor was calling for Leia's family.

Luca had no choice but to use Leia as an excuse.

Sure enough, after Queenie listened to Luca's reasonable words, she stood up and moved to the seat beside her.

Jack, who stood far away, saw them and let out a helpless sigh. "Luca is the only one who can convince her."

Luke was watching the two of them too. "Mother looks pale."

"Although we've found the donor, Queenie was so nervous that she stayed up all night knowing that Leia was going for the surgery. She refused to take any sleeping pills too. How could she not look pale?" There was a hint of resentment in Jack's voice.

After all, the couple had lived a peaceful life at first, but after Leia came back, she messed everything up.

It had been a long time since Queenie slept well.

"Dr. Park said that the risk is higher this time because Leia is in poor health. He told me to be mentally prepared," said Jack.

"Does Mother know about this?" asked Luke.

"Dr. Park knows she's not doing well. He only told me about this," replied Jack. Now that Queenie had devoted herself to Leia, she would break down if anything happened to her.

Jack did not want the incident that happened 20 years ago to happen again.

Luke slightly nodded. Nevertheless, he had confidence in Johann.

"Luke, let me talk to you about something. It's about Luca. Please settle it as soon as possible. If Leia can't make it this time, I hope our biological daughter can reveal her identity and stay by her side. Otherwise, she'll lose her mind," What Jack wanted to talk about was this matter.

If Leia managed to survive, he would not stop Luke from getting his revenge. After all, Leia had to bear the consequences of everything she had done before.

However, if Leia did not make it, he was hoping that Luca could prove that her true identity was Bianca in front of Queenie to soothe the pain in her heart.

"It'll take some time," said Luke. “She has a big organization behind her. Besides, according to the information I've obtained, the cases of famous people getting murdered around the world might have something to do with this organization. I have to be careful to keep her safe."

“I understand... I just hope that this can be settled as soon as possible," Jack nodded. The way he looked at Luca seemed helpless.

He was a soldier when he was young, but the situation had gotten worse at that time. Something happened, and he was unable to accompany them on the day she was born, which led to what

happened next.

Now, he had power and authority. His daughter was forced to hide her true identity and live as someone else. She was even threatened by a secret organization. Still, there was nothing he could do.

Luca's future was counting on Luke.

The two of them looked at the two women from far away in silence.

After a while, Jack broke the silence and said, “Dexter and Leia entered the operating room at the same time."

There was only one way to get into the operating room, which was through that door. Luke frowned and asked, “Did Dexter and Leia meet each other?"

“Yes," Jack recalled what happened just now.

Dexter kept on calling her when he saw Leia, and he told her that he would save her life no matter how much liver was cut from him.

That kind look on Dexter's face made Jack think that Dexter's personality had switched to another person's.

After all, he only promised to donate part of his liver to Leia for the sake of money back then.

Leia was smart. She did not say anything and just ignored Dexter when she faced him. She showed no gratitude to the person who donated the liver to her.

Jack stood beside them like a person who had nothing to do with this. He watched them until the two of them were pushed into different operating rooms.

“Drama?" Luke did not ask much. He only knew that Leia would have ignored Dexter. She must have felt disgusted when the two of them met each other.

It was because of that that Jack told Johann not to let Dexter see Leia and prevent him from upsetting her. That would bring no good to Leia's health.

“Yes." Jack understood what he meant and said, “Let's go back and accompany them."

“Okay." Luke walked back.

He sat down beside Luca while Jack sat beside Queenie.

Queenie leaned on Jack's shoulder and asked in a worried voice, “Dear, it's been an hour. Why isn't there any news from the doctor?"

Jack held Queenie's cold hands. He frowned and replied, “No news from the doctor means good news."

"Yes, Mrs. Norman. Usually, the doctor has already started the surgery. He won't send anyone out unless there's an unexpected situation. Don't worry." Luca comforted Queenie too. She placed the jacket in her hands on Queenie's thigh and added, "It's colder here. Keep yourself warm."

Luca brought another jacket along with her before she left the villa. She was worried that Queenie did not come prepared. That was why she had been carrying it along with her.

“Thank you.” Queenie felt cold, but it was not because she was not warm enough.

It was because she was worried about Leia. It was the anxiety that made her feel cold.

Luca smiled and continued to stare at the entrance of the operating room.

Normally, a transplant surgery would need four to five hours to complete if there were no unexpected situations. That was why Leia would not be able to come out so quickly.

Perhaps even Leia did not expect that there would be so many people waiting for her outside the operating room.

Luca recalled the time she gave birth on the Island of Despair.

The medical resources on the Island of Despair were sufficient, and an operating room was provided for Shanks to perform the surgery.

Luca did everything she could to give birth to Nyla, but she was anesthetized and her looks changed after that.

Eler was the only one who stood outside the operating room and waited for her when Luca was pushed out of the room with her face wrapped with bandages. She was unable to see the man she loved and her family.

However, Leia had done so many evil things and she still had family members waiting for her outside the operating room.

In contrast, Leia was more fortunate than her.

Luca sat on the chair, feeling a little thirsty.

She rose to her feet, and Luke immediately asked, "Where are you going?”

"I'm thirsty. I'd like to go downstairs and buy some beverages," answered Luca.

Luke thought of accompanying her, but he had to stay here just in case something happened to Leia. Hence, he nodded and did not follow Luca.

Luca went to the vending machine downstairs and bought four bottles of drinking water.

She saw Marie when she was about to leave. She stood there and frowned.

They were not far away from each other. Luca noticed that there were black and blue patches on Marie's face. She had a gauze bandage on her forehead too, and some blood soaked through the gauze.

Why was she in such a flustered state?

"It's none of your business," Marie snapped at her impatiently when she saw Luca. Marie limped around and tried to bypass her.
