Ch. 2591..2600

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2591-Mandy stood straight and looked at how hilarious Matysh looked when he was so desperate to get Luca.

Lust was destructive to men. Matysh thought he had everything under his control when, in fact, he would only be getting himself killed by a woman.

Luca was the one who would get him killed.

She was in the same boat...

Mandy sneered. "Matysh, if you're going to prison with me, which one of us is going to suffer a much greater loss?"

Matysh glared at her and asked, “What are you up to?”

Mandy picked up her phone on the floor with a cold expression on her face. Her phone was protected by the phone cover. It was still fine after being thrown on the floor. She turned on her phone, pressed the button, and showed Matysh her phone screen. "This is the voice recording of you discussing with those men how to kidnap Luca and how you wanted me to cooperate with you. If this recording falls into the police's hands, you're definitely going to prison. Think about it. I've got nothing to lose. Going to prison means nothing to me. But your nephew will take over your family business in Russia if you go to prison. Kidnapping is a serious crime. Will you be able to deal with your lust and sexual desires when you're in prison?"

"B*tch, how dare you do this to me?!" Matysh clenched his fists. When he doubted whether the voice recording was true or not, he saw Mandy pressing a button.

"I've already set a scheduled send for this recording. If you don't deposit the money into my bank account within an hour, the recording will be sent to the police station. Those useless men you found

even got Jack and his wife injured. The police officers will get things done real quick. It'll be too late even if you manage to book a flight ticket now or buy a helicopter to leave A City immediately. Before you can leave the borders of A City, you'll be arrested and sent to prison. Well, would you like to listen to it?" Mandy smirked. She could feel the sharp pain coming from her swollen face when she smiled, but she did not care.

She played the voice recording.

It started with the conversation between Matysh and the mob boss.

"B*tch!" Matysh snatched the phone away from her. When he was about to destroy the phone, he heard her saying, "Go ahead and destroy it. Even if you give me the money after destroying my phone, the recording is still going to be sent to the police."

Matysh was stunned for a moment.

Mandy was pleased. “You don't know the password even if you have the phone. You can't do anything with it."

Matysh clasped the phone tight. His face turned livid with rage knowing that Mandy had something on him.

"You have 45 minutes left to think about it," reminded Mandy as she glanced at the clock on the wall.

"B*tch! I won't let you get away with this," threatened Matysh. Those who offended him had never ended up well.

Mandy was not afraid of him threatening her. After spending some time together with Matysh, she realized that he was only wealthy. He did not wield any influence in A City.

"You're in A City now, not Russia, where you can do whatever you want. Have you decided?" asked Mandy.

Mandy knew he would give her the money.

Matysh would not risk getting thrown into prison. Judging from his personality as well as how arrogant and condescending he was, he would go insane if he was sent to prison.

Matysh's face turned gloomy. He had slept with so many women, and he finally knew that a woman's heart was the deadliest poison.

Matysh was able to wield his family's power and influence to get rid of those women back then.

This was the only time when he could not wield his family's influence as he was in A City. After all, A City was different from Russia. He could not bring his power and influence to Russia here.

Hence, his fate was in Mandy's hands, and he had no choice but to compromise.

"Cancel it," Matysh instructed her in a stiff voice and handed the phone to her.

Mandy took the phone from him. The way she looked at him was no longer gentle. It was full of disdain instead. "Deposit the money into my bank account, then. As for Leia's share, I'll transfer the money to her bank account. Keep in mind that it must be an instant transfer. Once the money is deposited into my bank account, I'll cancel the scheduled send."

The reason why Mandy was concerned about Leia was that Leia was still useful to her. Hence, she wanted to help Leia to get her share.

Matysh had no choice but to take it lying down. He picked up his phone and transferred the amount of money he promised he would give her through instant transfer.

After Mandy made sure that it was an instant transfer, she took her time to cancel the scheduled send.

"Alright, you don't have to go to prison now." Mandy stared at the man expressionlessly. Even though she managed to make some money after staying by his side for such a long time, she suffered a lot for it.

Hence, even though Matysh did not get what he wanted this time, Mandy thought she deserved to get paid for it.

"Delete the voice recording!" Matysh's face turned livid with rage. He did not expect to be betrayed by a woman after living for such a long time.

Mandy looked at the money in her bank account. She raised her brows and said, "Delete it? No way. I'll keep the voice recording for myself. Just in case someone comes after me one day, the voice recording can be..."

"Are you threatening me?" Matysh raised his brows. He did not expect Mandy, who used to be one call away, to be so shrewd now.

He had been fooled!

"I dare not to. You're the mighty Matysh Abaza. Even though you don't wield any power or influence in A City, you've got money. As long as you've got enough money, there'll be a lot of people who are willing to do things for you. You said I was threatening you. Well, if I don't have the voice recording, I'm truly afraid I'll be killed in reprisal." Mandy was not silly. She had met so many men before, and she knew how to deal with them well.

Matysh was considered unfortunate. He always had his guard up against her. The more defensive he was, the more Mandy thought that she needed to have something on him to keep herself safe.

That was why the voice recording existed.

Mandy saw the look on his face and said, "Don't worry, I won't give it to the police or the others. There's also the conversation between us recorded on the phone. If you're arrested because of the recording, I'll be caught too. Now that I have the money, I'm not that silly to get us into trouble. You don't have to worry about it in the future either. I've received the money, so we should go our separate ways. We shouldn't keep in touch with each other anymore. I won't come to you even if you miss me. That's all."

After that, Mandy turned around and walked out of the hotel room.

Then, there were noises of glass shattering coming from the hotel room along with Matysh's rage-filled roars, "B*tch! F*cking b*tch!"

"Hah." Mandy stroked her face. If it were not for Matysh giving her a huge amount of money back then, she would have gotten even with him for slapping her.

However, she was happy when she glanced at the amount in her bank account.

Mandy put on a mask. After she left the hotel, she hailed a ride and headed to the hospital.

She went to check her face at a medical aesthetic clinic and applied the medicine to her face. After making sure everything was fine, she called Leia. "Where are you?"

"I'm at the hospital," Leia replied in an impatient tone.

Mandy was startled for a moment, then she asked, "I'm at the hospital too. Where are you?"

"I'm at the Department of Hepatobiliary, Ward 254," answered Leia as she shot a glance at the police officer and Luke's subordinate who was sitting on the sofa.

As long as she refused to cooperate and give a statement, the police officer would not leave. She reckoned that she would not be able to kick Luke's subordinate out of here either.

What was Mandy up to by wanting to look for her now?

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2592-10 minutes later, Mandy came to the ward that Leia told her on the phone earlier. She was startled for a moment when she saw a police officer sitting there. Then, she immediately took two steps backward.

After everything that she did, she had the feeling that the police were after her whenever she saw an officer.

Mandy pretended that she came to the wrong place. After she left the ward and headed to a quiet place, she gave Leia a call. “What's going on? Why is there a police officer in your ward?"

“He's here to take my statement. What brings you here?" Leia glanced at the police officer, feeling guilty.

Could it be that Luke had already found out something and that was why Mandy came here looking for her in a hurry?

"I'm here to give you the money. But there are so many people there. I think it'll be better for me not to enter the ward," replied Mandy. She was afraid she would wear an unnatural expression on her face in front of the police officer and arouse his suspicion.

She had done something bad. That was why she was afraid to see any police officers.

Leia was dumbfounded for a moment. She initially wanted to ask Mandy since they had failed the mission, why were they still able to get the money.

However, Leia dared not to say anything in front of the police officer. She tried to fool the officer by saying, "Sure. No problem. Thank you."

Mandy knew it was inconvenient for Leia to talk and that was why she said something like that. She did not say anything. After she hung up the call, Mandy deposited an amount of money into Leia's bank account.

However, the amount deposited into Leia's bank account was less than expected.

Then, Mandy sent a message to Leia: [That's all I can get for you since things didn't go well.]

Mandy knew Leia dared not to contact Matysh. Leia had agreed with Matysh's plan, and she also requested those thugs to harm Mr. and Mrs. Norman. That was why it caused such a big scene.

Matysh was kind enough to give her the money. How would she dare to look for Matysh and ask for the remainder?

Leia saw Mandy's message, then she glanced at her bank account. She pursed her lips. It was less than she expected, but things had gotten bigger and worse. It was not easy for her to get such an amount of money.

Leia put her phone down and looked at the police officer with a gloomy expression on her face.

The police officer and Luke's subordinate were both in the ward. The other two patients in the ward were staring at her, but they dared not say anything about it.

“I feel much better now. I can make the statement." Leia wanted the police officer to leave, so she had no choice but to cooperate with him.

The police officer was a little surprised. Leia had finally agreed to make the statement. He said, "Why don't we head to the nurses' lounge?"

The hospital had made it convenient for the police officers to do their job. A nurses' lounge was provided in every department, and the police officers could use the lounges to take statements from the patients.

Leia got out of bed lazily. She rolled her eyes at Luke's subordinate and followed the police officer out of the ward.

Luke's subordinate knew the police officer would not let him listen in while Leia was giving her statement. Therefore, he thought he might as well stay in the ward first. After that, he would wait outside the nurses' lounge.

After Leia left, the patient staying in the same ward as her asked, "Hey, what did that woman do?"

"I have no idea," the man replied with a cold expression on his face.

The patient asked with curiosity, "I notice that the police officer kept staring at her. She must've committed a serious crime, right? But why is she still in this ward if she really did something wrong? Doesn't the hospital have a custodial ward?"

The man kept silent.

A horrified look suddenly appeared on the patient's face, and she said, "Could it be a murder case? Oh my, patients like her are scary."

The man ran out of patience as the patient was constantly babbling and making wild guesses. He immediately walked out of the ward and came to the door of the nurses' lounge.

The door was closed. The man shot a glance to see the situation inside and saw Leia giving her statement. He could see the impatient look on Leia's face when she was facing the police officer.

Five minutes later, the man received a message. It was an instruction from Gale. He continued to stand outside the nurses' lounge after reading the message.

15 minutes later, the police officer came out of the room with a sullen look on his face.

"Have you finished taking her statement?" the man asked.

"Yeah..." The police officer was rendered speechless. When Leia was giving her statement, it was as though her brain was not working at all. She did not answer his questions, and everything she told him was messy and unorganized.

When the police officer asked Leia why she behaved that way, she told him that she was traumatized and could hardly remember what happened.

That would only mean the police officer had wasted so much time waiting for her to take the statement.

He would certainly be scolded by his superior if he went back to the office with such a statement. "Judging from the look on your face, it didn't go well, huh?" the man asked.

The police officer nodded, but the statements were confidential information. He could not let anyone else read them either. "I'll go back to the office to report about it."

He would not be able to find any new leads in Leia's statement if he continued to stay here. Thus, he thought he might as well take the statement with him and head back to the office where he would be scolded.

The man then turned to look at Leia, who came out of the lounge.

It seemed like she was in a good mood after dealing with the police officer. She was even humming a tune.

"There'll be a caretaker coming here to take care of you later," said the man.

Leia stopped. She raised her brows and asked, "Caretaker? Who arranged a caretaker for me?"

The man would not tell her that Luke was the one who made such arrangements. After all, he was told not to arouse Leia's suspicion.

"It's probably your family. The nurse walked into the ward and told me a moment ago."

"Them? That's impossible!" Leia frowned. Mr. and Mrs. Norman would not even let her enter the VIP ward on the top floor to visit them. How could they arrange a caretaker for her?

The man replied indifferently when Leia refused to believe it, "Return to your ward and ask them."

After that, he walked back to the ward.

Leia returned to her ward while feeling suspicious. There was indeed a middle-aged woman sitting on the chair beside her ward bed.

"Who sent you here? Was it Luke Crawford?" Leia looked at the caretaker vigilantly. This was a female ward. It was inconvenient for Luke's male subordinate to come here and keep an eye on her.

"C-Crawford?" The middle-aged woman asked with an accent while she looked at Leia in confusion. She explained, "Old Madam Norman sent me here. She told me to come here to take care of you."

Old Madam Norman?

Leia raised her brows. She picked up her phone and called Old Madam Norman.

"Grandma, did you send a caretaker over?" Leia asked.

"Yes, Leia. You must be frightened after what happened, right?" Old Madam Norman asked caringly.

"I'm okay..." Leia found it strange, then she asked, "How did you know I was admitted to the hospital?"

"Something big happened to your family, so, naturally, your grandpa and I found out about it. I know your parents are in the hospital too. That's why I sent a caretaker for you," answered Old Madam Norman. She felt sorry for her granddaughter. Hence, she arranged for a caretaker to look after her.

The caretaker who was initially sent here to take care of Leia was then replaced with another person by Gale.

"Grandma, that's very kind of you." Leia stopped staring at the caretaker suspiciously when she heard Old Madam Norman say so. Then, she asked, "Grandma, do you know how my parents are doing now? The nurse doesn't allow me to enter their ward. She told me that they don't allow me to visit them. I don't know what's going on in there. I'm worried."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2593-Madam Norman paused for a moment, then she said, "I'm not sure about their situation either. I've been calling them all morning. No one's answering the phone. But Leia, you don't have to worry about your parents. I'm sure they're going to be fine. Everything will be fine."

Madam Norman specially persuaded her, thinking that Leia must be worried.

Leia rolled her eyes. That was pretty helpful.

Then, Leia replied, "Grandma, if you happen to know how Dad and Mom are doing, please tell me right away. I'm worried about them."

"Okay, I will. You're a good child. I'm counting on you to take care of my son and my daughter-in-law," said Old Madam Norman. She thought Leia was doing her duties as a daughter well.

Old Madam Norman had no idea what Leia did to Queenie back then. Jack did not want to piss the elders off, so he deliberately did not mention it.

Therefore, Old Master Norman and his wife still adored Leia a lot, especially when they were in such a situation. Old Madam Norman heard how worried Leia was, and she became furious when she remembered Bianca, who lost her memory and was currently abroad.

"Grandma, don't say that..." Leia looked down as she secretly became more impatient.

What the hell happened to Jack and Queenie?

Deep down in her heart, Leia was hoping something had really happened to the two of them. That way, she did not have to pretend to be nice to anyone in the Norman family and no one would meddle in her affairs.

"Sometimes, a biological child isn't that dutiful either. You're so much better. Your parents made the right choice to adopt you at the orphanage." Old Madam Norman recalled the scene when they adopted Leia at that time. novelbin

Leia smirked disdainfully. What was the use of saying these at this point?

Leia wanted to pretend to be a good daughter and butter Jack up, but he hated her so much.

She could not please him no matter what she did.

That was why Leia was not planning to continue with it.

"Grandma, I'm really worried about Dad and Mom. Remember to tell me when you have any news of them," Leia sweet-talked her.

"Alright, alright. You're such a good child." Old Madam Norman grew even fonder of Leia.

The caretaker, who stood beside Leia, heard their conversation. She could not help but suppress the helplessness in her heart as she poured a glass of water for Leia.

Leia hung up the call and took the glass of water that was handed to her. She immediately threw it on the floor and cried out, "It's so hot! Are you trying to boil me alive?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Norman. The doctor told me that you can't drink any cold water..."

"Must I drink hot water if I can't have cold water? Do you call yourself a caretaker?" Leia glared at her. The caretaker was the only person on whom Leia could vent her emotions now. That was why she vented her anger on her.

"I'm sorry. Let me get you another glass of water." The caretaker picked up the disposable cup and poured some hot water into the cup before adding some cold water to it. Then, she handed it to Leia

again.

Leia took a sip of water and frowned. "The water in the hospital tastes bad. It has an off-putting disinfectant smell. Those who don't know would think that the disinfectant had been added to the water dispenser.'

The patient lying on the bed beside her heard what Leia said and took a sip of the water. She said, "There's no disinfectant smell in it."

Leia rolled her eyes, turned to look at the patient on the bed beside her, and mocked her. "Water tastes the same for poor people like you. I'm not used to drinking this water. You, go to the supermarket downstairs and get me a few bottles of imported mountain spring water."

Leia hated the hospital the most.

However, she had to pretend that she was injured to hide in the hospital. Otherwise, there would be more and more troubles that she had to deal with.

The caretaker squatted down and picked up the shattered pieces of glass on the floor. After she took the tissue and dried the water splashed on the floor, she stood up and said, "Ms. Norman, you can't have any cold water."

"I'm not used to the water provided by the hospital. What should I drink if you won't get the water I want for me? Do you want me to die from thirst?" Leia sat with arms akimbo. "My grandma must've paid you a lot of money. If you don't want the job, give me the money and I'll hire another caretaker."

The caretaker was left with no choice. She heaved a sigh and replied, "I'll go downstairs to get the water for you now."

"Get the most expensive bottles," added Leia.

The patient on the other bed was pretty upset after getting mocked by Leia. She could not help but say in an enigmatic manner when she heard that Leia wanted the most expensive bottles of water, "Why are you squeezing with us in this three-bed ward when you're so rich? Stop pretending to be rich."

"You know nothing." Leia turned around and glared fiercely at her. "If it weren't for the lack of wards, would I have to squeeze in this small ward with people like you? I have a caretaker and a bodyguard. What do you have?"

The middle-aged woman on the ward bed was rendered speechless after Leia said that to her. She immediately pulled the hospital curtains.

"Hmph. Don't talk to me if you're poor." Leia sneered at her and turned to look at the door.

She did not see Luke's subordinate anywhere.

Leia raised her brows. Where was the man who was standing outside the door a moment ago?

Leia got out of bed and came to the door. She looked to her left and right. There was no sign of the man. Could it be that he had left?

Leia stood at the door for a few minutes, and there was still no sign of him. She was sure that the man had left.

Perhaps he was sent to make sure that she cooperated with the police officer to make the statement. Did that man finish the task Luke assigned him after Leia made her statement?

Leia forgot what Luke said to the man when they were in the elevator.

She suddenly felt so much better.

Then, she picked up her phone and called Mandy. She immediately asked a question when the call was answered, “Where are you now?"

“I'm still at the hospital, but I'm about to leave. What's the matter? Didn't you get the money?" Mandy asked. After she deposited the money to Leia, she headed to the plastic surgery department in the hospital for consultation.

Mandy was worried that the wound on her face would affect her nose job. That was why she consulted the doctor. She even went for an imaging test. After knowing that it would not affect her nose, she set her worries aside.

"I received it. Don't ever mention this again next time. I'm afraid I'm being eavesdropped on," said Leia in a low voice. "Can you come to the ward now?"

“No. There's a police officer and a bodyguard there. It scares me seeing them there." Mandy recalled what she saw just now. She almost gave herself away when she was facing the police officer.

"They're gone now. Come here and talk to me. I'm bored," Leia talked to her more intimately.

Leia was convinced when Mandy still managed to get so much money from Matysh after the mission failed. She even helped Leia to get her share.

It seemed like Mandy was worthy of being friends with, after all.

“Okay. Wait for me there." Mandy turned around.

Mandy stood on the first floor, waiting for the elevator. She moved to the side when the elevator arrived on the first floor and let those who were in the elevator out first.

Mandy noticed that the man who had been watching Leia was walking out of the elevator. She looked at the man from behind. He was walking out of the hospital.

It seemed like he was really leaving.

Mandy hurried into the elevator.

When the elevator arrived at the floor, Mandy walked toward the ward number that Leia told her.

Sure enough, the police officer in the ward was gone too.

"Are they gone?" Mandy walked into the ward and sat on the chair beside Leia's ward bed.

“They left after I finished making the statement." Leia frowned and asked when she saw Mandy wearing a mask, “Why are you wearing a mask? No one knows you. Isn't it suffocating?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2594-Mandy pulled her mask up and said in a low voice, "I'm injured."

“You're injured?" Leia stared at Mandy's face. She reckoned that Mandy's wound had been concealed under the mask.

Mandy noticed that the other two patients in the ward were looking at her too. Hence, she asked, "Why aren't you staying in a single-room ward?"

"Do you think I wanted to stay here? There's no single-room ward in the Department of Hepatobiliary. The wards upstairs are full too." Leia rolled her eyes.

Mandy rose to her feet and said, “Why don't we go out for a walk?"

“Sure." Leia knew Mandy did not want the other patients in the ward to stare at her. Thus, they walked out of the ward together.

The two patients in the ward exchanged glances with each other. The patient who fought with Leia said, "I just recalled who she is. I kept wondering why she looked so familiar to me^"

“Who is she? I think I've seen her somewhere before too," asked another patient.

“Oh, she's Leia Norman. A celebrity has-been who got involved in scandalous affairs. I went online searching for her just now. Tsk, tsk. You can't imagine how shocking it was. How dare she show her face in front of others? If I were involved in so many scandalous affairs, I would hit my head against the wall and end my life," she said maliciously. She had been bottling up her anger after arguing with Leia just now.

“So she's Leia Norman. No wonder she looks familiar. You're right. She has done so many bad things. How could she scold someone else without feeling embarrassed? Even if she's wealthy, she's just a child adopted by the Norman family. Who does she think she is to judge the poor? She's nothing but an

outsider once the Norman family's biological child comes back. I heard that her biological father is a homeless scumbag. She was born to be poor. Even if she was adopted into a wealthy family, she's still a poor person deep down. How dare she mock others? Rumor has it that she has a bad attitude. I finally got to see what she truly is like today." Another patient went along with her.

“I know, right?"

Leia, who stood at the door, wore a sullen look on her face. She realized she forgot to bring her phone when she walked out of the ward. She initially thought of heading back to take it, but she accidentally heard those people talking about her.

Mandy heard them too. She patted Leia's shoulders and pointed at the corner of the hallway with her fingers.

Leia could not be bothered to argue with the two patients in the ward. She immediately headed in the direction where Mandy pointed.

They headed to the corner of the hallway where there was no one around. Only then did Mandy pull her mask down.

Leia noticed the redness and how swollen Mandy's face was. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Did he beat you?"

"I risked my life to get that money." Mandy stroked her face. She did not feel any pain in her face when she was slapped. All she felt was numbness. It was only after an hour did she start to feel the pain.

The plastic surgeon told her that judging from how swollen her face was, it might take up to a week for it to recover and the pain would ease after the swelling was gone.

Although Mandy did not answer her question directly, Leia was sure that it was Matysh who did this to her.

"He's so cruel." Leia saw how swollen Mandy's face was, and she thought Mandy got beaten up asking for money from Matysh.

"Fortunately, I got the money. That slap didn't end up in vain." Mandy put on her mask and asked, "How are your parents now?"

Leia was the one who told Mandy that the mission had failed.

Matysh still could not contact those men who were arrested by the police when Mandy left the hotel. Their superior seemed to be handling this matter too.

However, Mandy also heard that A City was currently the center of the country's anti-organized crime. It seemed like things were going to be more difficult to handle.

"I don't know what their situation is now." Leia clenched her teeth resentfully and cursed, "I hope there's bleeding in their brains and they'll die."

Mandy shook her head. Mr. and Mrs. Norman were her adoptive parents, after all. How could she be so heartless...

"What's Matysh planning to do now?" Leia asked.

Mandy shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I have no idea. He vented his anger on me after knowing that we failed the mission. But I didn't let him get away with venting his emotions on me. I left as soon as I got the money. We have nothing to do with anything that happens next. You're considered a rich woman now. With the money, you can make a living by starting a business in A City. It won't matter even when the Norman family doesn't care about you anymore in the future."

"I want more than that." Leia narrowed her eyes.

Even though Jack had always been law-abiding, clean, and honest since he served in the military, the Norman family's wealth only started to accumulate when Old Master Norman began doing business back then.

Although Jack had no intention of taking over Old Master Norman's businesses, Old Master Norman had given him full rights to the company. The company was still earning a considerable amount of profits now.

Would that money not become hers when Jack was no longer alive?

Hence, what Leia truly wanted was the assets of the Norman family.

Mandy knew what Leia had in mind. She patted her shoulder and said, "That's all I can do for you.

Things have gotten much bigger, and the biggest reason for it is probably because your parents were injured. That's why you have to be extra careful. You can't let them suspect you." “Don't worry. I can distance myself from this matter. I've finished my job, after all.” Leia smirked. She did it so well and left no clues behind.

No matter how capable Luke's men were and no matter how many police officers came, they would not be able to find out that she had something to do with this case.

"Although you did the job well, you still have to be careful. Besides, don't forget me when you've become a super rich woman." Mandy stroked her face, trying to remind Leia that she sacrificed her beauty in exchange for the money.

"I got it. Have you seen the doctor yet? Let me ask Johann to take a look at it," said Leia. Even though Johann did not study plastic surgery, she heard that Johann was skilled at it.

Mandy's eyes lit up when she recalled Johann's handsome face. She asked, "Really? But he's not working in the plastic surgery department, right?"

"Even though he's not, he's an expert. Even plastic surgeons aren't as highly skilled as he is. If he'd like to change his job, all the cosmetic hospitals would welcome him to join them with open arms," answered Leia.

"That's so impressive..." Mandy could not help but exclaim with admiration.

However, the injury on her face affected her appearance badly. She eventually shook her head and said, "It's alright. I'll be leaving a bad impression on him if I see him in such a state now. Do create chances for me to meet him in the future if it's possible."

"Sure. No problem. You helped me a lot this time." Leia was talking about hurting Jack and Queenie, as well as the money Mandy got for her. novelbin

"We should help each other. And we should make those who look down on us apologize to us!" said Mandy.

On the other hand...

The caretaker Luke sent to look after Leia followed her instructions and bought bottles of the most expensive imported water.

She realized Leia was gone when she returned to the ward. Then, she walked to the washroom and glanced around. Leia was nowhere to be seen. Hence, she asked the other patients who were on their beds with curiosity, "Excuse me, do any of you know where Ms. Norman went?"

The two patients stared at their phones while lying on the bed. It was as though they did not hear her talking to them.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't do anything wrong to offend the two of you. Do you know where she is?" The caretaker knew they hated Leia, and that was why they were deliberately ignoring what she said.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2595-The middle-aged woman who was mocked by Leia earlier thought what the caretaker said made sense.

The caretaker was only doing her job, and she did not mock them. Therefore, she said, “She went out with a disreputable-looking woman. They're probably talking about something others shouldn't be listening to. That's why they went looking for a quiet place to talk."

"Thank you." The caretaker immediately picked up the bag filled with a few water bottles and went looking for Leia based on what the middle-aged woman had told her. She eventually saw Leia and Mandy at the end of the corridor in the hospital.

Even though Mandy was wearing a mask, the caretaker had memorized the faces of the people who often appeared around Leia before she came here. That was why she recognized Mandy with just a glance.

She was the woman who was with Matysh.

It seemed like what the middle-aged woman said was true. Their conversation had to be kept secret.

The caretaker pretended to be anxious and headed in their direction. "Ms. Norman."

Leia turned around and glanced at the caretaker when she heard her voice. She pulled a long face and explained to Mandy, "She's the caretaker my grandma sent."

"Oh." Mandy nodded. She had said what she wanted to say to Leia, so she did not think that the caretaker's appearance was a big deal. Then, she watched the caretaker walk toward them and size her up.

"Ms. Norman, I got you the water you wanted." The caretaker deliberately breathed heavily as though she was in a hurry.

"What took you so long? Are you trying to make me die from dehydration?" Leia raged.

"I'm sorry. It was crowded in the supermarket." The caretaker handed a bottle of water to Leia.

"How am I supposed to drink this if you don't open the bottle cap for me?" Leia did not take the water bottle from her. "I wonder what made Grandma send you here. How dumb."

"I'm sorry." The caretaker unscrewed the bottle cap and handed Leia the water bottle.

"That's better," mumbled Leia. She noticed that the caretaker stood there stiffly without thinking of handing a bottle of water to Mandy. Then, Leia added, "Haven't you noticed that I have a visitor here? Aren't you supposed to hand her a bottle of water too?" "Oh, okay." The caretaker immediately nodded, unscrewed another bottle of water, and handed it to Mandy. "Miss, have some water please."

Mandy took the water bottle from her and turned to look at Leia. “Okay, I guess that's all for today. I'll visit you again some other day." "Okay. Be careful when you're on your way home." Leia treated Mandy so much better due to the money she received.

After Mandy left, Leia was constantly rolling her eyes at the caretaker, and she had no intention of returning to the ward.

It annoyed Leia when she was reminded of the two middle-aged women who spoke ill of her behind her back.

"Ms. Norman, aren't you going back? It's almost time for your IV drip," said the caretaker. She happened to see the nurses at the nurses' station mixing the IV solutions, and one of them mentioned Leia's name when she walked out of the elevator.

"Why are you rushing me? Can't you just let me take another sip of water?" Leia took a sip of water and threw the half-full water bottle into the trash bin right away.

The caretaker saw what Leia did and quietly shook her head behind her. What a waste.

If she were to continue to pretend to be a caretaker to keep an eye on Leia, she would be at a loss for words... novelbin

Leia slowly walked back to the ward. When she entered the ward, the woman on the first ward bed smiled and asked, "Did you manage to get your water?"

Leia let out a snort and ignored her.

The caretaker replied, "Yes, would you like to have some?"

"I can't afford to drink such expensive water." The patient on the first ward bed immediately rejected the offer.

Leia replied in an enigmatic manner, "Glad that you're aware of that. These bottles of water can probably cover the cost of a day's meals for you."

The expression on the patient's face turned sullen when she heard that.

The caretaker pretended like nothing had happened as she placed the water bottles in the cabinet. She was secretly complaining and asking why her boss assigned her such a mission.

The other patients were considered kind and good-tempered. If it were not for her being on a mission now, she might have slapped Leia in the face if she said such things to her.

She would not have cared whose daughter she was!

In the VIP ward.

It was already six o'clock in the evening. Jack and Queenie woke up feeling confused and foggy a few times, but before they could say anything much, they would fall asleep again because of the

medication's effects.

Luca knew what it felt like to have a concussion. It felt awful.

Luca truly wanted to share her parents' pain and burden when she saw how much they were going through.

Luca let out a sigh while staring at the couple on their ward bed.

"Let's go home." As Luke watched Jack fall asleep again, he turned around and said to Luca.

Jack had woken up earlier and asked how Queenie was doing. Then, he asked for the time.

The last sentence he said was to ask Luke and Luca to go home earlier.

"Okay." Luca nodded.

The Norman family's maid had finished giving her statement in the afternoon, and she hurried over to the hospital to take care of Jack and Queenie. Luca rose to her feet and said to the maid, "If anything happens to Mr. and Mrs. Norman, please call me immediately no matter what time it is."

"Okay, Ms. Craw. Don't worry. I'll take good care of Mr. and Mrs. Norman." The maid nodded.

"Don't forget what I've told you," Luke reminded her.

Luke told the maid not to tell Leia or any outsiders about Mr. and Mrs. Norman's situation.

Although the maid found it strange, she promised Luke not to tell the others. Besides, she would never tell Leia about it even if she threatened her.

After all, she had been serving the Norman family for such a long time. The maid knew very well whom Jack was fond of and whom he hated.

"Yes. Don't worry." The maid assured him.

After they left the hospital, Luca realized it was raining. The weather that had yet to turn warm became colder.

Luca's body temperature was lower than usual because of the drug she took. A cold gust of wind met them, and Luke held Luca's hand. He frowned, took his coat off, and draped it over Luca's shoulder.

"Mr. Crawford, I..." Luca wanted to reject him.

"You'll be warm when we get into the car." Luke held her hand and headed to the parking lot where he had parked his car.

Luca had no choice but to follow behind him. Luke was right. They would feel warm again if they hurried and got into the car. Luke would not have to lend his coat to Luca either.

The two of them got into the car.

Luca handed the coat to Luke and said, "Mr. Crawford, it's warm now. Put it on."

"Put it on the backseat of the car," replied Luke as he adjusted the air heater in the car to make it warmer.

Luca heard him and placed the coat on the backseat of the car. Then, she heard him saying, "There's no one here now. How should you address me?"

"Luke," Luca responded quickly this time.

Luke nodded satisfyingly and started the car engine.

Luca's phone rang the moment she fastened her seat belt.

She glanced at her phone and noticed that it was the landline from home.

"Hello?" Luca had no idea who was calling her.

Tommy's voice came from the other end of the line. "Ms. Luca, when are you and Daddy coming back home?"

"We're on our way back. It's half an hour's drive from here. Be good and wait at home. Wait for us to come back, okay?" Luca glanced at the man beside her. Luke was driving out of the hospital.

It would take 20 minutes to drive from the hospital to the villa. However, it was rush hour now as people were getting off work. Besides, it was raining. There might be traffic congestion too.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2596-“Okay, Ms. Luca. How's Grandpa and Grandma doing?" Tommy asked again and glanced at Lanie and Rainie, who were beside him.

They were worried about Jack and Queenie's health.

Luca was startled for a moment, and she asked, "How do you know about that?"

"It's on the news. We saw it," replied Tommy. "But those people only said that Grandpa and Grandma are injured. They didn't go into the details."

"They're fine. Besides, the doctors and nurses in the hospital will be taking care of them. Don't worry," said Luca.

Tommy replied, then said to Lanie and Rainie, "Lanie, Rainie, did you hear that?"

"Yes." Lanie nodded.

Luca then found out that the kids were listening to their conversation beside the telephone. They cared about Jack and Queenie.

"Stay at home and be good. Have your dinner first. I..." Luca glanced at the man who was busy driving beside her and said, "Your daddy and I will be home soon."

"Okay, Ms. Luca. Daddy, drive safe," reminded Tommy.

"Okay." Luca waited for the other end of the line to hang up the call, and only then did she put down her phone.

"They know their grandparents were admitted to the hospital?" It was quiet in the car, so Luke could hear the voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Yes. The news was reported on the TV," replied Luca. She knew Luke had been handling the matters.

She added, "But the reporter didn't mention the details."

"Yeah. The hospital didn't reveal anything," said Luke. The hospital Johann was currently working in protected the VIP patients' privacy well.

Not everyone could enter the wards, and the patients in the wards would not disturb each other. Most of them were from the upper class. They could not afford to be exposed by others. They were not interested in delving into someone's private life either.

Hence, Luke did not have to worry about Jack and Queenie, who were staying in a VIP ward.

Leia was not allowed to enter the ward, and neither were the reporters.

"I wonder when they'll be able to recover and get discharged from the hospital," said Luca.

Even if a young man was healthy enough, it would take at least a few days for all the symptoms of the concussion to go away.

Old people were much weaker. They might need a longer time to get enough rest and recover when they had a concussion.

"I'm not sure. Leave it to Johann," said Luke.

Even though Jack and Queenie had recovered, Luke was planning to let them stay in the VIP ward for a few more days before getting discharged.

It was not because he wanted to attract the public's attention. He wanted to give Leia the impression that Jack and Queenie were in a bad shape.

The more Leia thought her parents' health was in a bad state, the happier she would be.

One would show the cloven hoof when one was happy.

Luke wanted Queenie to see what kind of person Leia was.

Jack had a soft spot for Queenie. Queenie would feel upset if she found out about it.

That was why he had been concealing these things from her, and he did not let her know how many ridiculous things Leia had done behind their backs.

Luke did not stop Jack from doing that as he had nothing to do with Leia.

However, he knew he had to get rid of Leia. Moreover, to stop Queenie from worrying too much, he had to let her know Leia's true colors and see how evil Leia was.

Luke drove on the road while coming up with a plan at the same time.

He had been pondering about it for quite some time, and they eventually arrived at the villa.

After Luke met the kids, he made his way up the stairs.

Tommy held Luca's hand, turned around, and watched Luke head upstairs from behind. Then, he asked, "Ms. Luca, why does Daddy look so serious?"

"Does he?" Luca smiled and shook her head, comforting the anxious child. "Isn't your Daddy always like that?"

"I know, right..." Tommy pouted. Their father had always been stern and serious. He was strict with them too!

He still liked his mother the most.

Then, Tommy rested his face on the back of Luca's left hand and gazed at her bandaged right hand. He asked, "Ms. Luca, does it hurt?"

Luca noticed that the three kids were staring at her hand. She smiled and shook her head. "It's not anymore."

It did not hurt when her kids cared so much for her.

"Ms. Luca, Aunt Neile made dinner for you. Would you like to have some?" Tommy asked again. He wanted to hold her injured hand and blow on her wound. It would not hurt that much after blowing on it.

However, Tommy dared not to do so. He was worried that he would hurt her. Hence, Tommy gave up the thought of doing so.

“Okay. I'll head to the kitchen to take a look," replied Luca. She let the child hold her hand as she walked into the kitchen.

Aunt Neile was busy preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast, which would be pie, as she would be taking a day off. She was worried that Luca might not be able to handle it alone. That was why she prepared the filling and seasoned it in advance. Then, she prepared the dough to make the pie crusts.

"Aunt Neile, what are you preparing?" Luca noticed that Aunt Neile was making the dough and asked with confusion.

"Ms. Craw, you're back," Aunt Neile replied with a smile. "I'm making pie crusts. I'll place the fillings in the pie crust. You only have to take it out and bake it tomorrow."

"You'll be on leave tomorrow, right?" Luca remembered Aunt Neile mentioning that she had to send her grandchild to school on the first day of school. That was why she would not be able to come here in the

morning.

"Yes. That's why I'm preparing breakfast in advance. That way, you can get more rest too." Aunt Neile kneaded the dough.

"Thank you." Luca could not help but thank her.

"Don't mention it. Oh, you haven't had dinner, right? It's in the microwave. I kept it warm for you," replied Aunt Neile. She knew they could not make it to dinner on time, so she saved some food for them and warmed them in the microwave.

"Okay." Luca opened the microwave. Their dinner was kept in the microwave.

She took a tray out and placed the dishes on the tray.

Aunt Neile asked, "Oh, is Mr. Crawford back?"

"Yes, but he has something to do and went upstairs. I'll bring his dinner upstairs," said Luca. She divided the dishes into two portions and gave more to Luke.

"Stop moving around. Leave it to me. Let me wash my hands first." Aunt Neile noticed that Luca's right hand was bandaged.

"I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. It's not a big deal for me to carry a tray. Plus, it won't affect the wound." Luca was not being dramatic. Her hand injury was not hurting anymore. She thought it would be fine. "Besides, you're halfway kneading the dough. You'll have to wash your hands again. How troublesome. Let me do it."

"Okay, then. Thank you, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile's hands were full of flour now. It was inconvenient for her to bring dinner upstairs. She gave up the thought of helping Luca since she insisted on doing it.

Luca prepared two portions. After she filled the bowl with soup, she carried the tray upstairs.

She arrived at Luke's bedroom door. Even though the door was not shut, she knocked on the door before going in.

"Come in." Luke saw Luca carrying the tray and frowned. Then, he said, "Why are you doing this when you're injured?"

"It's just a cut on my hand. It's not like my bones are broken or I'm handicapped. I'm still able to carry a tray. Besides, Aunt Neile is busy preparing tomorrow's breakfast. The tray is quite heavy. I can't let the kids carry it, right?" replied Luca as she placed the tray on the table. "Why don't you have your dinner first? You can get back to work afterward."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2597-Luke sighed helplessly. It seemed that it was necessary to temporarily transfer a maid over from Crawford Manor.

When she noticed that he did not move, Luca said softly, "The soup won't taste as good once it's cold."

"Give me your hand." Luke held out his palm to motion for her to put her hand in his own.

Luca deliberately handed him her left hand.

Luke was not annoyed. He picked up her right hand, kissed the back of it, and stretched out another hand. "Give me your right hand too."

Luca blushed. She put her hand in his palm and explained, "I'm fine."

Luke checked the gauze carefully and found no bleeding. He lowered his head slightly and kissed the gauze with his cold lips.

Luca's fingers curled slightly, and the blush on her face spread.

His affectionate actions pulled at her heartstrings.

The gauze rubbed against Luke's lips, and he let out a long sigh. "You still have to be careful. The maid from Crawford Manor will come over tomorrow. You don't have to prepare breakfast for the kids. The maid will."

"Mm..." Luca wanted to tell him that there was no need to send the maid over because Aunt Neile had even prepared pies. All she had to do was put them in the oven.

However, on second thought, she knew that Luke's decision was not in her control, so she could only agree with what he said.

Luca pulled out her hand gently and said, "You should eat. I'll go downstairs to eat too."

"Mm, let Aunt Neile do the other things." Luke urged and banned Luca from doing other things.

She replied with a hum. She understood the meaning behind his warm concern.

If she continued to do her own thing and attend to household chores, he would reprimand Aunt Neile.

"I'll go downstairs first," Luca said.

Luke did not want to let her go downstairs so easily, but he was also reluctant to let Luca go hungry.

After Luca left the bedroom, she went downstairs blushing.

The three children were sitting on the sofa watching cartoons. They gathered around her when they saw that she had come downstairs.

Rainie said with concern, "Ms. Luca, did you hurt your hand?"

"No, it's fine." Luca showed them her right hand and said, "Look, there's no bleeding. The gauze is still white."

"Ms. Luca, you should grab something to eat." Rainie thought to herself that Luca must be hungry after being in the hospital all day.

"Okay," Luca said and walked into the dining room.

Lanie followed behind her with a hint of concern on his cool face. "Ms. Luca, do you want me to feed you?"

Although these things were not what a little man like him should do, he cared about his mother, so he believed that it was something that he should do.

Luca was a little surprised and immediately realized Lanie's concern for her. She smiled, shook her head, and said, "No, I'll be fine. Go watch cartoons. I'll eat with a spoon."

"Ms. Luca..." Lanie was still worried. ‘How can someone who has been using their right hand their whole life get used to using their left hand?'

A classmate of his was left-handed. His teacher tried to make him write with his right hand, but he still insisted on using his left hand.

That was because it was easier for him to write with his left hand than his right.

Some mischieveous classmates mimicked him and tried to learn to write with their left hands, but their writing was indecipherable. As such, he knew that using one's dominant hand was the most agile.

"It's okay, it's easy to use my left hand to maneuver the spoon," Luca said. She walked into the kitchen and took out a clean spoon.

She knew that Lanie was worried about her, but she did not feel great about letting him feed her.

She sat at the dining table and showed Lanie that she could eat with a spoon in her left hand without any issues.

Lanie sat on the side and saw her using the spoon to drink the soup and put the vegetables and meat in her mouth. He knew then that she was not faking it. novelbin

Her left hand was just as nimble.

"Look, it's not difficult at all. Don't worry and go watch cartoons," Luca said. She had received the relevant training on the Island of Despair, so her left hand was more agile compared to others.

She had no problem eating with a spoon at all.

Not only spoons, but she felt that she would have no problem using a fork and a knife to eat as well.

She would use her right hand to block the knife because the position she wanted to pinch was on the left. As such, she could only use her left hand to pinch and her right hand to block the knife.

Lanie nodded and knew that it was impolite to sit here and watch her eat, so he left the dining room and went back to the living room to watch cartoons with his younger siblings.

Upstairs...

Luke was dealing with work when the police department called.

"What's the matter?" Luke glanced at the caller ID and found that it was the police chief calling.

"Mr. Crawford, is Ms. Craw with you?" the police chief asked. He knew that Luca had an unusual relationship with Luke, so he called Luke before he reached out to Luca.

"Is there something wrong?" Luke did not intend for the police chief to bother Luca.

"Well, the prisoner who was caught today kept complaining that he has a stomach ache. My colleague checked him and found nothing wrong with him. He said that Ms. Craw pinched him once and it's been hurting since. I just want to ask Ms. Craw if she knows what's going on," the police chief said.

Luke knew what was going on when he heard him mention a stomach ache.

Luca must have pinched the man's weak points when she broke herself free.

He had seen that move in Russia.

It could make anyone weak in an instant, and the pain would get worse later. There were no wounds or internal injuries, but it was excruciatingly painful.

"Why would you ask Ms. Craw? She lacks the strength even to truss a chicken and didn't even have a weapon when she was held hostage. You should be interrogating that person on why he's pretending to be in pain." Luke knew what Luca did to the man who held her hostage but did not plan to reveal anything.

Anyway, he would not die. They just needed to give him painkillers in time. The pain would increase toward the end and then reduce. It would be as though the person had gone through hell, but he would not have a scratch on him.

"Okay!" The police chief wanted to say that the man did not seem like he was acting...

If he was, he surely deserved an Oscar. After all, his grimacing expression was not the kind that ordinary pain could cause.

However, what Luke said also made sense.

Luca was just a helpless woman who escaped by blocking the dagger with her hand. How could she hurt a man?

"Anything else?" Luke's attitude was not the best.

"That's it, sorry." The police chief apologized for trusting the suspect's words. He should have never doubted Luca. After all, she was a victim.

Even if Luca had stabbed the suspect, it would be considered self-defense and she would not have broken the law.

"If he's in pain, take him to the hospital and let the doctor check him to see if there's any internal injury. Don't disturb Luca again," Luke reminded him.

He had seen those tortured by Luca's method. The person would have a tough time if they did not have any painkillers and great willpower.

"You're right, Mr. Crawford. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye." The police chief hung up the phone.

He let out a slow sigh of relief.

He could feel Luke's powerful aura even across the phone.

The pressure made it difficult for him to continue asking Luke questions.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2598-There was a knock on his office door before the police chief could gather his thoughts. "Come in."

A policewoman walked in in a hurry looking flustered. "Sir, the suspect is complaining that he's in pain again. His face is pale and his facial features are distorted. It doesn't look like he's faking it. Should we send him to the hospital?"

"Send him over. Contact the hospital to arrange a detention ward." The police chief had a headache.

'He doesn't appear injured on the surface but is screaming in pain. Could it be an internal injury?'

However, the statement that he recorded stated that the man was the commander of the operation. He held Queenie and Luca hostage but did not participate in the fight at all.

'How could he have internal injuries if no one has touched him?'

The chief of police was not at ease. After all, the suspect had yet to be convicted. If something went wrong, he would not be able to sit firmly in his position. When the policewoman was about to step out of the office door, he urged her, "Make sure the hospital gives him a detailed examination. I want to know what's wrong with him."

"Will do." The policewoman hurriedly left.

After a while, the man who was curled up in pain was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. Several policemen accompanied the man to the hospital.

On the other hand...

After Luca had a leisurely dinner, she watched cartoons with the kids for a while.

The kids were starting school the next day, so the time they had to watch cartoons would be reduced soon after.

Luca looked at their childish faces. Abel had not told her what to do nor instructed her to take on any tasks.

However, she did not know how long she could be with her children.

In any case, she did not want to be Abel's tool nor did she want Nyla to grow up in that kind of environment.

After the cartoons ended, Luca said, "You'll start school tomorrow. Have you finished your winter vacation homework?"

She was not worried that the kids had not finished their winter homework because they had promised Luke that they would finish their homework on time every day.

Therefore, she was certain that the children had completed all their homework.

After all, they were Luke's children and had the same self-discipline as Luke.

"We're all set," the three children answered in unison.

Luca nodded and stood up with them, "Let's go double-check?"

"Okay, Ms. Luca." Tommy stood up, excitedly took Luca's hand, and headed upstairs.

The four of them arrived upstairs and slowed down when they passed Luke's bedroom as they all heard him talking to someone inside.

Tommy pulled Luca into his bedroom and handed her his bag. "Ms. Luca, look!"

Luca looked at the homework list and checked the homework in Tommy's school bag. Everything was there, and his stationery box was neatly placed as well. She was satisfied and said, "It's all complete. Great job."

"Hehe." When he saw that she was about to zip up his school bag, Tommy took over and said, "Ms.

Luca, let me do this kind of heavy work."

Luca looked at her right hand with a faint smile.

Considering that she was injured, Tommy felt that it was heavy work even if it was just pulling a zipper.

Luca's heart was warm. She felt very lucky to be loved so dearly by the father and son.

For the children, she was here to take their mother's place.

However, they did not reject her too much. They even knew how to care for and take care of her.

If she stood with the children and told others that they were all her children, no one would doubt it.

They were close-knit and acted just like any mother and children.

They were related by blood, so it was natural for the kids to want to be close to her.

Luca then checked Lanie's and Rainie's school bags. They were neatly packed, and all their homework was in the school bag. Likewise, the stationery boxes she prepared for them were also in the school bags.

She handed them their school bags.

"You'll start school tomorrow." Luca sighed leisurely as she counted the time since she left the island.

She had accompanied the children through summer, autumn, winter, and spring. It had almost been a whole year.

"I would prefer to accompany Ms. Luca." Tommy turned to hug Luca's uninjured hand and moved up to hug her entire arm. "I don't like going to school."

"What are you talking about? You go to school, I go to work. You come back from school and I get off work. It's no different." Luca was worried that Tommy would dislike going to school, so she quickly coaxed him.

"Ms. Luca is right." Lanie nodded in agreement.

As Crawford's first-born great-grandchild, he was taught the importance of learning at an early age.

Therefore, he felt that there was no need for holidays. It was better to learn more at school.

"Brother is the same as Daddy," Rainie muttered and sat on the other side of Luca. "Daddy is a workaholic, and Lanie is a studyholic. It's enough that we have both of them in the Crawford family. Tommy and I want to relax. "

"What are you talking about?" Lanie picked up his school bag, zipped it up, and said to Luca, "Ms. Luca, I'm going back to my bedroom." "Okay, wash up and then rest early." Luca nodded. She noticed that the children's bedtime was coming and could not help but sigh about how time flew so fast.

She wanted to take advantage of the last two days of their vacation to accompany the children at home this weekend. She had planned to cook something they liked and play games with them.

Unexpectedly, so much happened...

Seeing that it was getting late, Rainie stood up and said, "Ms. Luca, I'll also be going to my bedroom."

"Okay, go on." Luca nodded with a smile. She did not want the children to notice her shift in mood.

After Rainie left the bedroom, Luca stood up and said to Tommy, "Okay, go take a shower too and then go to bed early."

"Okay, Ms. Luca." Tommy nodded, got out of bed, and opened the closet.

The kids could clean up after themselves, so Luca left the bedroom.

She closed the bedroom door for Tommy and glanced at her injured right hand. 'How do I take a shower without getting my hand wet?'

Luca thought of using plastic wrap, so she went downstairs, found the plastic wrap in the kitchen, and took it upstairs.

When she was about to walk into her bedroom, Luke stepped out from the opposite bedroom and asked, "Have you taken a shower?"

Luca stopped, shook her head, and said, "Not yet, but I'm going to."

Luke knew how she planned to go about showering when he saw that she was holding the plastic wrap in her hand. He frowned and said, "I'll help you."

"Help... me?" Luca blinked. Her face turned red, thinking that Luke might help her take a bath.

Although the two had made love, this kind of contact was still very intimate to her.

"What are you thinking about?" Luke noticed that she was blushing. He felt as if 10,000 ants were gnawing in his heart, causing it to itch. His rationality gradually went out the window.

However, he had an important international meeting later.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2599-"Nothing." As he approached her, Luca could not help but take two steps back.

Luke took another step forward and narrowed the distance between them.

Luca could not resist the charm he exuded, so she could only blush and slowly lower her head. She might be unable to control herself if she continued looking at him.

The two walked one after another into the bedroom.

Luke stepped forward to hug her, his magnetic hoarse voice whispering in her ear, "If I didn't have an important meeting later, I'd definitely help you shower."

"Huh?" Luca blinked and looked at his white shirt. 'He wasn't thinking what I thought he was?

'I misunderstood the situation!'

Luca's face turned even redder. All she thought about just now was something that would be inappropriate for children...

Clearly, Luke knew what she was thinking about.

Luke noticed that her cheeks were getting redder, and all he wanted was to kiss her.

However, he knew that if he kissed her, he would not be able to attend the meeting later. He could only hold back. He smiled as he pulled out the plastic wrap she was holding and played with it. "I'll help you bandage it up." novelbin

Luca's face was so red as if it were bleeding. She nodded slowly and raised her right hand.

Luke opened the plastic wrap and carefully wrapped it for her. "You thought that I was going to help you take a shower?"

"No!" Luca's denial was forceful. It seemed that she was hiding something.

"Mm, no." Luke went with her, his tone full of teasing.

His movements were meticulous as he carefully wrapped her hands with the plastic wrap, leaving no gaps, lest the water wet the gauze and cause the wound to become infected.

"Bring your phone into the bedroom later and call me if there's anything you need." He urged.

"Okay..." Luca answered with a voice as soft as a mosquito. She thought of how she was teased and could not even think of the words to refute it. Her mind went blank.

Luke knew her well.

"If you need help, make sure you call me. Don't be stubborn. It'll be more troublesome to go to the hospital if something happens." Luke did not think that she was troublesome. He just hoped that she would not be afraid to trouble him.

"Mm, I know." Luca looked at her hands which were tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. 'He's so thoughtful.'

In the naked eye, there was no gap to allow the water to penetrate.

However, he used up most of the plastic wrap.

She hoped that the stitches on her hand could be removed as soon as possible so it would not be so troublesome moving forward.

Luke left the plastic wrap casually on the dresser because she would still need it when she showered.

He said, "Go take a shower first. I have to attend a meeting."

After he said that, he strode out of the bedroom.

He closed the door of the master bedroom, sighed, and complained about the time difference in his heart.

Luca would be lying in his arms if it were not for the fact that he could not afford to be absent from this meeting or push it back.

Luke complained in his heart as he walked into the opposite bedroom. Nonetheless, he still connected to the overseas call, adjusted his mood within a few seconds, and started the meeting.

On the other hand...

Luca did not have much concern when she showered because of the plastic wrap. After she was done, she put on a fresh set of pajamas before she removed the plastic wrap.

More than half of the long roll of plastic wrap had been used. After she took it apart, the gauze had not gotten wet and was still bone dry.

Luca sat in front of the dresser and glanced at the door. She pursed her lips and took off the gauze with one hand.

Although Johann had helped to sterilize her wound, stitch her up, and wrap the gauze in the hospital, it was not enough.

She had to apply the medicine herself if she wanted the wound to heal quickly.

Luca sighed after she took off the gauze and looked at the stitched wound. She sighed. She knew that the wound would not leave scars. She sighed because Jack and Queenie were still lying in the hospital.

She took out a small medicine bottle from the drawer and sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound. It was a new wound, so she could only use her hands to make sure the medicine powder was applied uniformly before she put on a new gauze.

Her dressing method was different from Johann's. She was one-handed, so her dressing was a bit sloppy but at least it was done.

Luca glanced at the time. It had long passed the hospital's visiting hours.

Nonetheless, she could not help but send a message to the Norman family's maid to check in on Jack and Queenie.

The maid quickly replied to her and told her that after they left, Jack and Queenie woke up again. They were awake for a longer time, and the couple also chatted a little before they fell asleep again under the influence of the drugs.

Luca was relieved to know that Jack and Queenie had woken up.

She stood up and opened the bedroom door to find that the door on the opposite side was shut.

Luca knew he was in a meeting and closed the door because he was worried that the sound of his conversation would disturb the children resting.

She walked to Tommy's bedroom, opened the door gently, and made sure that Tommy had fallen asleep and covered himself with the blanket before she closed the door and went to Rainie's bedroom.

Rainie was asleep too and had tucked herself in tightly.

Luca closed the door and went to Lanie's bedroom. She opened the door and found that Lanie had turned on the reading lamp on the bedside and was reading.

"Lanie, it's getting late. Stop reading." Luca walked in and reminded him gently.

Lanie looked up at her and said, "Ms. Luca, I can't sleep..."

"Why can't you fall asleep?" Luca frowned as Lanie never had sleep problems.

Lanie put down the book and talked about what was on his mind, "I'm thinking about the start of school tomorrow."

"Mm, what are you thinking about?" Luca stepped forward and sat beside the bed. She noticed that the book he was reading was a children's book about medical knowledge.

He seemed to be particularly interested in medical books.

‘Will he take this path in the future?'

She would not object to him going on this route. However, Luke was thinking of handing over T Corporation to them after the kids graduated.

If Lanie did study medicine, Luke would have to wait several years before he could retire.

Luca had mixed feelings when she thought of the future because she did not know if she would have a chance to be there for it.

"I understand all the knowledge taught by the teachers in the school, so I find the classes quite boring. I want to read books of higher grades, but some teachers will scold me when they find out. However, I already know everything that they're teaching me. I only need to read the book once and I'll already understand it..."

Lanie expressed the troubles he faced.

He knew early on that he was different from other kids his age.

They would sometimes have to learn something for a long time, but he could understand it just by reading a book.

This was all thanks to the extracurricular tutor that Luke hired for him and Rainie when they were younger. Although that teacher no longer tutored them, Lanie had formed a set of his own learning system early on thanks to the teacher. He could instantly understand a lot through this personalized system of his.

Therefore, what the teachers in school were teaching him now was too simple for him.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2600-Luca knew what he meant.

Lanie was academically talented, and he had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.

That meant he could understand everything the teacher taught in class. Other than that, Lanie felt bored and unchallenged by his current curriculum at school.

Luca looked at Lanie's bookshelf.

One of the shelves was specially left to place Lanie's trophies and certificates. It was already full of rows of trophies and certificates.

He participated in both international competitions and national competitions.

Luca's child definitely got his high IQ from Luke. It would be a pity for Lanie to not skip grades. novelbin

Luca had discussed this with Luke before she got kidnapped by the Island of Despair back then.

They were talking about whether or not they should let Lanie skip grades if he excelled in his studies in the future and if his teacher suggested they do so too.

At that time, Luca thought it was important to keep her kids happy. Hence, she preferred not to let Lanie accelerate his education and let the child learn what he should be learning at his age.

That way, the kids would not feel pressured when they studied. They would have more time to join extra-curriculums and discover their hobbies too.

Luca did not expect that her decision would make Lanie feel so distressed now.

Lanie already understood everything he was learning, and he could not learn something more advanced. He felt depressed because of that.

Luca turned around and stroked Lanie's hair. His fine hair touched her palm, and she said in a gentle voice, “So, Lanie, would you like to skip grades?"

"I'd love to, but I have to take care of Rainie. If I skip a grade, what should Rainie do when those boys bully her?" replied Lanie.

Even though Rainie was smart, her eagerness for knowledge was not as strong as Lanie's. Thus, it was better for Rainie to follow the school's arrangement to learn at an appropriate level.

Luca knew that very well.

Rainie could not skip her grades like Lanie. She had to practice ballet too. Besides, the Crawford family seemed to be planning to give Rainie piano lessons starting this semester. If she skipped grades, she would not be able to keep up with her studies.

Luca said, “Lanie, you've grown up well. You know that you have to protect your sister. But Rainie is growing up too. No one will dare bully her. Besides, you're still at the same school even if you skip grades. You can still protect her, right?"

“Simon Holston always bullies Rainie." Lanie frowned. He could not help but complain.

Simon Holston?

Jim Holston's son?

Luca replied, “Don't worry. He's Uncle Jim's son. He won't hurt Rainie."

Lanie fell silent for a moment and spoke, “But Daddy..."

“I'll talk to him when he's available. Rest early. You have school tomorrow," replied Luca. She lifted the blanket and signaled Lanie to tuck himself in.

Lanie looked at her.

He knew she was their mother. Even though her appearance had changed, she still loved them like how she used to. Lanie hugged Luca and lay on the bed. Then, he said, "Goodnight, Ms. Luca."

“Goodnight. Rest early and stop reading," replied Luca. After she helped him to cover the blanket, she placed a bookmark inside his book and put the book on the bedside table.

Lanie closed his eyes.

Luca stared at her eldest son gently.

She was still in university when she gave birth to Lanie back then.

Lanie had grown up well in a blink of an eye. Would all parents think the same when they watched their kids grow up so fast?

Luca stared at Lanie for quite a while. Only then did she stand up and turn off the reading lamp on the bedside table. Then, she walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.

She headed to the master bedroom and glanced at the bedroom opposite her.

Luca pondered for a moment. She made her way down the stairs and headed to the kitchen. She poured Luke a glass of milk.

Luca knew Luke did not like drinking milk, but it was unhealthy for him to drink coffee at night. Hence, she poured another glass of warm water for him.

That way, he could drink the warm water if he did not feel like drinking the milk.

Luca placed the glasses on a small tray and carried them upstairs carefully.

She came to the bedroom door and gently knocked on the door with her elbow.

“Come in." Luke's voice came from inside the room.

Luca carefully supported the tray with her wrist and pushed the door open with her left hand. Then, she walked into the bedroom.

Luke muted the sound, lifted his head, and looked at Luca. He noticed that she was carrying a tray and asked, "Why didn't you listen to me?"

"I just wanted to pour you a glass of water." Luca knew he was upset that she was doing such things when she was still injured.

However, these were not difficult tasks for her.

Luca knew Luke was in the middle of a video conference. She walked toward Luke and carefully placed the tray on the table. “I poured you a glass of milk. If you don't feel like having it, there's a glass of warm water here too."

Luke let out a sigh. He usually appreciated Luca's gentleness and her concern. However, her hand was still injured. Instead of getting some rest, she did such things for him. If the wound opened up again, things could get serious.

Luke noticed that the way Luca wrapped the bandage was different, so he asked anxiously, "Did you wet your bandage when you were taking a shower?"

"No. I changed the dressing." Luca shook her head, telling him that she was fine. "I wrapped my hand with plastic wrap, so the bandage was still dry even after I was done showering."

"Okay." Luke set his worries aside and took the glass filled with milk. Then, he took a sip of it.

Luca's hand was injured, yet she still cared about him. Even though Luke did not like drinking milk, he chose to drink the glass filled with milk.

"This will take a while. Go and rest first," said Luke.

"Okay... Goodnight." Luca turned around and left.

Luke fixed his gaze on her. The voice of his subordinates reporting to him was coming through the earphones, but all he had was Luca in his mind.

This was the best time to carefully hold Luca in his arms and sleep together.

The subordinates in the video conference noticed that Luke was speaking, but no voice was coming from the earphones. That was why they knew he was talking to someone else.

Moreover, the expression on Luke's face was different from the one he had whenever he had a meeting with them.

Even though Luke was frowning, they could figure out that it was different.

Luke would frown at them because he was dissatisfied with their report and work progress, but he was expressing his worries and showing his concern for whoever he was talking to now.

They could feel Luke's gentleness and concern even if they were on the other side of the computer screen.

All the employees were secretly surprised. They could not help but wonder who that person was to make their boss express so many emotions on his face when he was famous for maintaining his poker face.

After Luke watched Luca leave, he withdrew his gaze and unmuted his microphone.

Luke cleared his throat when his subordinates were still reporting absent-mindedly. He reminded them that he was listening to their report.

Everyone immediately pulled themselves together and stopped making guesses about the person who managed to change their boss' facial expression. Instead, they focused on the meeting.

After Luca left Luke's bedroom, she returned to her bedroom and glanced at the time. It was almost midnight.

Luca yawned lazily and could not help but feel sorry for Luke at the thought of him still being stuck in a meeting.

Luca lay down on the bed and covered herself under the blanket. She turned around in bed to face Luke's side of the bed. The air was thick with Luke's scent.

Drowsiness hit Luca as she breathed in the scent, and she unconsciously fell asleep.
