Ch. 2621..2630
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2621-"My friend will contact me if anything happens. Don't worry about it." Luca pushed the dormitory's door open and walked into it arm-in-arm with Vivian.
It was a twin dormitory room for postgraduate students.
Vivian’s roommate had yet to arrive.
Luca closed the door behind them without bothering about how awkward the expression on the male student's face was.
Vivian smiled and said, “He has a thing for you!” “Is that even considered as having feelings for me?” Luca frowned and refuted, “He only wants me to be one of his backups.” “You’re pretty,” said Vivian. Luca carried her years well. Hence, it was normal for guys to be interested in her.
“I’m getting on in years,” replied Luca. At the same time, she secretly muttered that she was also a mother of four kids.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2622-“I’m married, and I have kids.” What the male student said to her had already caught the attention of some students in the cafeteria. Luca felt awkward.
The male student widened his eyes. He shook his head, refusing to believe what Luca said. “How’s that possible? You look so young. How could it be?” “Thank you for your compliment. But I’m married and I do have kids. Besides, I’ve been working for quite a long time. I’m not a student. My friend can testify for me.” Luca grabbed Vivian’s arm.
The male student turned to look at Vivian, seeking proof.
Vivian nodded and spoke in English with a stammer, “Yes. I can vouch for her. What she said is true.” The expression on the male student’s face changed. He dared not believe that the young woman in front of him was not a student and that she was married with children…
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2623-“Ms. Craw, have some tea.” The caretaker handed Luca a cup of warm tea.
“Thank you.” Luca sat on the sofa, looking at the couple. They looked fine, and they did not look unwell.
“Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, how do you feel today?” Luca asked caringly.
“Great. We don’t feel dizzy anymore. Don’t worry.” Jack knew Luca was worried about them, so he quickly comforted her.
“Glad to hear that. Did the doctor say anything?” Luca asked and turned to look at the caretaker at the same time.
The caretaker replied, “The doctor gave Mr. and Mrs. Norman thorough physical examinations. The results are good. There’s no internal bleeding in the brain, and their bodies function well. It’s just that there are some bruises. They’ll be fine after resting for a while. It’s a fortune in misfortune.” Luca nodded. Jack and Queenie were not seriously injured because of the incident. It could have been worse.
Then, Luca said, “Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, you’ll be able to get well soon.”
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2624-Leia's current behavior was a pain in the neck. The hospital was planning to improve the security of the VIP floor.
The head nurse had complained to Jack before. Even the most difficult news reporter she met was not as difficult as Leia.
The security guards and nurses on duty dared not to take her lightly. They were worried that they would accidentally let Leia slip into the ward.
Johann even said that they would include Leia’s name in the hospital’s blacklist if they could.
Queenie heaved a sigh and said, “That’s true…” Luca listened to their conversation. She suddenly felt sorry for them.
Leia had gone over the top and done so many bad things. She did not deserve Queenie’s love!
“Come on, stop sighing. She’s not young anymore. Besides, she gets an allowance every month. She’ll be fine.” Jack comforted her.
Was Leia’s health not the reason why Queenie wanted to go home so badly?
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2625-Queenie could not help but wonder when she saw Jack's attitude. "Aren't you fond of Luca? What's with your reaction now that I'm suggesting her becoming our god-daughter?"
"Perhaps Luca won't want to? Besides, Leia gets jealous easily. If we acknowledge Luca as our goddaughter, what will she think?" Jack immediately brought up the subject of Leia getting jealous when he noticed Queenie's intentions.
Queenie fell silent when he mentioned Leia.
If they really acknowledged Luca as their god-daughter, Leia would be jealous of Luca judging from her personality.
Queenie shook her head and said, "Forget about it."
It set Jack's mind at ease when Queenie gave up on the idea. After all, Luca was their biological daughter. There was no need to acknowledge her as their god-daughter.
"I didn't know you still cared about Leia." Queenie heaved a sigh.
Jack was stunned for a moment. He was overwhelmed with complicated feelings for a minute or two. novelbin
He initially thought of making an excuse for Luca. Queenie misunderstood him and thought he did it for Leia's sake.
A disgusted feeling set in as he recalled what Leia had done in the past. "That's all. Let's put this behind us."
Queenie nodded.
Jack picked up the remote control and turned up the volume of the afternoon news. The couple watched the news together.
After Luca walked out of Mr. and Mrs. Norman's ward, she took the remaining two bags from Warren and headed to Wanda's ward.
Luca knocked on the door.
"Come in." Wanda's voice came from inside the room.
Luca pushed the door open and went in. "Ms. Rayne, have you had lunch?"
Wanda was a little surprised to see Luca. Her pale white lips curled up as she said, "I'm not hungry."
The caretaker beside her stood up and said, "Ms. Rayne had her first chemotherapy session today. She hasn't gotten used to it. That's why she didn't have lunch."
Luca frowned. No wonder Wanda looked so pale.
Many things had happened these days, and Luca forgot Wanda's chemotherapy schedule. She placed the two bags on the coffee table and said, “I bought some fruits and supplements for you."
“Oh, you shouldn't have..." Wanda was about to get out of bed.
Luca stopped her. "Ms. Rayne, don't get out of bed if you're feeling unwell. Sit down."
"You too. Take a seat." Wanda was surprised Luca would come to visit her.
Wanda thought no one would be coming to visit her in the hospital except for Luke. After all, the relatives of Rayne's family were in their hometown. She did not inform anyone else about her admission to the hospital and receiving treatment. She had to hide it from Old Master Rayne, after all.
Luca sat on the chair beside the bed.
Wanda asked, "Have you eaten? I bought some food at the cafeteria downstairs. Why don't you have some?"
"Ms. Rayne, I've had lunch." Luca looked at Wanda's pale complexion. Wanda had only received the chemotherapy session once, and she already had such a big reaction. How was she able to hold on for the next few sessions?
Furthermore, even though Wanda would be undergoing the surgery, judging from the deterioration of the tumor in her body, she would need to take a long course of chemotherapy treatment.
"What about some fruits?" Wanda asked again.
"It's okay, Ms. Rayne. They're for you." Luca looked at the lunchbox on the coffee table. It was left there. Then, Luca asked, "How does it feel to have your first chemotherapy session today?"
"I feel like vomiting. And I've lost my appetite." Wanda smiled bitterly. She knew it was painful to receive chemotherapy treatment, but she did not expect to have such serious side effects.
Wanda immediately grabbed the trash bin and vomited in it the moment she finished her first session.
The nurse who gave her the treatment said she was one of the few people who had such serious side effects.
It was only her first time. Hence, they might need to do some adjustments after this.
"That's serious.." Luca frowned and asked, "Did the doctor give you any herbal medicine?"
Luca had sent a prescription to Johann and asked him to give it to Wanda.
"No." Wanda shook her head.
"How's that possible?" Luca's brows furrowed deeper. Could it be that Johann had forgotten about it?
That was when the caretaker spoke, "I glanced at Ms. Rayne's medication notes this morning. They did prepare herbal medicine for Ms. Rayne, but they'll only give it to her at night."
"Is there really herbal medicine included in it?" Wanda asked.
"Yes. But it's my first time seeing someone taking herbal medicine and chemotherapy treatment. Could it be a combination treatment?" said the caretaker. She had taken care of many cancer patients before. Hence, she slowly became familiar with their treatment and remedies.
"Luca, you're the one who prescribed the medicine, right?" Wanda turned to look at her.
"Yeah. I prescribed the medicine according to your condition. The herbal medicine will be able to ease your pain when you're receiving chemotherapy treatment." Luca nodded and admitted it.
"Thank you." Wanda never thought that Luca would prescribe medicine for her.
“I saw the prescription in a book. I've never prescribed it to others before either. Ms. Rayne, please tell me right away if you feel unwell after taking the medicine. I'll change the prescription for you," Luca reminded her. She had faith in Shanks' prescription, but she had never prescribed it to others before. Perhaps some adjustments needed to be made.
"Okay, I trust you." Wanda nodded. Even though Luca told her that she had never prescribed it to others before, what happened in the past made her believe in Luca unconditionally.
Luca smiled and said, "Why don't you eat a little?"
"I can't..." Wanda shook her head. "I vomited right after the chemotherapy session. I'm worried I'll feel sick again if I eat something."
"You can't be sure about that. Why don't you give it a try?" said Luca.
"Yes, Ms. Rayne. I've seen many patients vomit after the chemotherapy treatment, but they'd be fine when having their meals. They were able to eat well." The caretaker persuaded Wanda too.
If Wanda refused to eat anything and only relied on the nutrient injection the doctor gave her, how could that work?
She would be exhausted from receiving the chemotherapy treatment before she could get her surgery done.
"Okay then. Let me try.." Wanda looked at Luca's worried expression. She had an indescribable urge not to make Luca worry about her.
The caretaker handed the lunchbox to Wanda and said, "Ms. Rayne, I assumed you wouldn't feel like eating too. That's why I bought some oatmeal for you. Have some. You'll feel better after filling your stomach."
"Thank you." Wanda opened the cover of the lunchbox. The oatmeal was kept warm.
Wanda took two sips of the oatmeal. She did not feel nauseous as she thought she would.
Luca persuaded, "Have some more. You have to eat more to improve your health. You can't feel weak anymore."
If Wanda's body became weak, it would be troublesome to treat her during the later period.
Besides, she needed time.
Old Master Rayne was all alone at the villa, waiting for her to return. Luca hoped Wanda could stay healthy and get through this.
"Okay. I'll have more." Wanda finished the oatmeal slowly.
"That's great." The caretaker smiled when she saw that. "Ms. Craw, you're good at this."
No matter how hard she tried to convince Wanda, she refused to listen to her.
Luca gave her a faint smile and said, "Does Ms. Rayne need to take any medicine after lunch?"
"Yes. It's just that she refused to have the oatmeal just now. I was worried it'd harm her stomach if she took the medicine on an empty stomach. That's why I haven't given it to her," the caretaker nodded and replied.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2626-“Okay. Then remember to remind her to take the medicine half an hour later," said Luca attentively.
“I will," replied the caretaker as she kept the empty lunchbox away.
"Ms. Rayne, I should leave and go back to work. Cooperate with the doctors and receive your treatment. Don't be afraid. Medical technology is advanced now. You'll be fine." Luca knew what Wanda had in mind. Hence, every word she said was to comfort her.
"Okay. Off you go." Wanda's heart was warm.
She did not know why Luca cared for her so much.
After Luca left, the caretaker could not help but ask, "Ms. Rayne, is she your relative? Your niece?" "No, she's not." Wanda shook her head. She had mentioned to the caretaker that she had a niece. However, her niece was currently abroad. She could not come back. That was why Wanda thought no one would come to visit her.
Therefore, when Luca showed up and showed Wanda some concern, the caretaker thought Luca was Wanda's niece.
Still, Luca had indeed warmed Wanda's heart...
"Look at how much she cares about you. I thought she was your niece," muttered the caretaker.
“My niece is living abroad. Something bad happened to her back then, and she lost her memories. She can't remember any of us. The bond we shared is gone too," said Wanda in a low voice.
“How unfortunate.." the caretaker could not help but mutter.
Wanda did not say anything. She wondered if the caretaker felt sorry for her or Bianca.
Was the caretaker feeling sorry for Bianca, who lost her memories, for living a miserable life.
Or was she feeling sorry for Wanda for receiving treatment here all alone without anyone coming to visit her in the hospital?
After Luca left the hospital, she hurried back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. She arrived there right on time after the lunch break. Then, she returned to her office and started to mix the formulated medications.
It was inconvenient for her to do it in the laboratory.
Mixing formulated medications was a meticulous job. Luca looked at the precision scale and carefully mixed them. Sometimes, adding a gram more or a gram lesser in the medication would affect its effectiveness.
Hence, she could not be careless.
Luca mixed the medicine according to the previous data she had collected. She noted down everything while she was mixing them.
Before she got off work, she finally prepared two new medications.
Now, she only had to mix the two formulated medications with Amur's blood and her blood. Then she would be able to know if they worked.
Luca carefully stored the medicines, planning to analyze them tomorrow morning.
Even if the medications did not work this time, she believed she was not far away from finding out the formula for the antidote.
Luca got off work on time after she kept the medicines well.
After Luca arrived home, the maid told her that the three kids were upstairs, doing their homework. Luke had gotten off work and come home too. Luca quickly made her way up the stairs.
Luca went to greet the three kids first.
She knocked on the door when she arrived at Lanie's bedroom door.
Lanie turned around and saw that it was Luca. There was a smile on his nonchalant little face. “Ms. Luca, you're back."
"Yeah. How was school today?" Luca asked caringly.
"It was great," answered Lanie as he handed the homework he had finished to her. He said, "Ms. Luca, Daddy's busy with work. Please help me check it."
"Sure. No problem." Luca sat on another chair to check his homework.
Lanie was smart, and he was thorough when he was doing his homework. Luca quickly went through his homework. There was no mistake. "You got it all correct."
"This grade is too easy for me," Lanie said coolly. Then, he spoke again at the thought of Luke's reminder, "Ms. Luca, Daddy wants you to head to his bedroom after you get off work."
"Huh? Okay." Luca could not help but wonder how Luke could know her so well. Even though Luca knew he had gotten off work, she would still check in on the kids first.
Lanie asked Luca to bring his exercise book along with her. "Ms. Luca, can you please help me hand in the exercise book to Daddy and let him sign it? That way, I won't have to disturb him when he's working."
"Sure. I'll hand it to him now." Luca took Lanie's exercise book and went looking for Luke.
Knock, knock. Luca knocked on the bedroom door.
"Come in." Luke's voice came from inside the room.
Luca pushed the door open and entered the room. "Lanie told me that you'd like to see me."
"Yes. I have something to show you." Luke's gaze was gentle when he met her eyes.
Luca walked toward him with curiosity.
Luke pointed at his thigh and asked, "How about sitting here?"
"I'd prefer sitting on a chair. The kids might come in to ask you to check their homework later." Luca had not gotten used to letting the kids see Luke and her being too intimate.
Luca grabbed a chair beside her and sat down. Then, she placed Lanie's exercise book in front of Luke and said, "Why don't you sign Lanie's homework first? I've checked it for you. There are no mistakes."
Luke picked up the fountain pen beside him and signed his name on it.
Luca took the exercise book from him and kept it. Then, she asked, "Found anything?"
"Yes." Luke clicked and opened a video file. novelbin
The Norman residence's backyard garden was shown in the video. Luca knew it was the surveillance footage when she saw it.
"Rain noticed that something was wrong with the footage. She noticed that someone had done something to the surveillance footage when she received the computer case connected to the surveillance cameras. The data was recovered by the IT team." Luke clicked on the play button.
Luca stayed focused and watched the video.
As the surveillance footage played, Luca could see Leia sneaking into the backyard garden. She opened the back door. She did not go out, but she pretended as if nothing happened and went back the way she came.
Luca looked up and glanced at the time shown on the surveillance footage. It was just before she arrived at the residence.
Leia was the one who opened the door for those people.
Those men did not break the lock because the door was opened for them. That was why the alarm was not triggered. Consequently, they only managed to find out something was wrong when those men broke into the house.
"Are we giving this to the police?" Luca asked.
"I think this is the Norman family's matter. Even if we hand it to the police, things won't turn out like what we expect." Even though Luke refused to let Leia get away with this, Leia had replaced Bianca's position now. She had become the apple of Queenie's eyes.
If they acted recklessly and sent Leia to prison, they were afraid that Queenie would not be able to take it.
Luca pursed her lips. She was thinking about the same thing as Luke.
However, she had more to worry about.
If Queenie found out Leia's true colors and chose not to send Leia to prison, she might become another Pierre.
She would become someone who would not hesitate to harm the people around her for the sake of her interest, just like Pierre...
"Also, Rain found out that a huge amount of money was deposited into Leia's bank account. She tracked where the money came from and noticed that it was Mandy Sanders who transferred the amount of money to her. Mandy showed up in the hospital and met Leia on the day of the incident," added Luke.
"Mandy?" Luca frowned.
"She bears some resemblance to you. Matysh has been keeping her by his side.
Given the transaction history and the surveillance footage, I'm afraid Leia might not be sent to prison even if we hand this to the police," Luke analyzed it and explained to her.
Leia did not directly make a deal with those people. There was no evidence to prove that she had something to do with those men either.
Leia could say that she went to open the door but forgot to close it, which gave those men the chance to break into the house. It was a mistake, and that did not make her a conspirator.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2627-Therefore, it did not matter if they were looking at it from Luca's or Queenie's perspective. Handing the recovered surveillance footage to the police was not a good idea.
Luca agreed with him and nodded.
“Would you like to follow me to the hospital tonight?" Luke asked her.
Luca wanted to know why he wanted to head to the hospital. "Is it that urgent?"
"Queenie is looking for Leia all day long. I think we should let her know what kind of person Leia is as soon as possible." Luke leaned back in his chair and looked at her.
Today, Jack texted Luke and complained to him that he was running out of ideas to stop Queenie from looking for Leia.
Leia was unreachable by phone, so Queenie wanted to get discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.
What Luca and Jack said to her today was useless.
"But the kids..." Luca did not want to see Queenie upset.
"Aunt Neile is only getting off work later. The maid can stay a little longer. We'll head to the hospital after dinner. Tommy and Rainie would've finished their homework at that time." Luke arranged the schedule.
Luca could not find an excuse not to go to the hospital. She had no choice but to agree. "Let's ask Dr. Park to work overtime today. I'm worried Mrs. Norman won't be able to take it."
"Alright." Luke agreed to it. He picked up his phone and contacted Johann. As long as he was there, Queenie's life would not be in danger even if she passed out from shock.
Luca secretly thought to herself that it was not enough.
She thought of bringing her set of needles along with her, just in case.
After dinner, Luke checked the kids' homework for them. Then, after he signed their homework, he reminded the kids to be good and went out with Luca.
Tommy sat on the sofa and said grumpily, "Daddy always refuses to bring me along with him when he goes out."
"Daddy and Ms. Luca aren't going out to have fun." Lanie sat straight on the sofa, listening to his younger brother complain about their father. He frowned and thought to himself, 'Tommy is a boy. Is it appropriate for him to be so clingy?'
As a brother, should he teach his younger brother to be more independent?
Tommy watched the cartoon show and said, "But Daddy and Ms. Luca are going to visit Grandpa and Grandma. I'd like to visit them too."
“They're out to handle some matters. And they'll be back soon.” Lanie shook his head. Although the adults did not tell the kids about it, Lanie understood what was going on.
He seemed to know a lot.
Tommy turned around and looked at him with confusion. How did he know?
"Have some fruits.” Lanie picked up a slice of fruit with a fork and handed it to Tommy.
Tommy took it from him and took a bite of the fruit. Then, he said embarrassedly, "Lanie, you're bossy, just like Daddy."
Lanie acted as though he did not hear what Tommy said. He picked up the book beside him and continued reading.
He was not interested in watching cartoon shows now. It was just that it was convenient for him to look after Tommy and read his book here.
Rainie and Tommy were watching TV, while Lanie read his book. A heavy silence fell upon the living room.
On the other hand...
Luca and Luke came to the hospital.
They got into the elevator and headed to the VIP floor. They saw Leia standing there when they walked out of the elevator. Two security guards had stopped her, and they carried baton sticks in their hands, preventing her from getting past them.
"My parents are there. Who are you to stop me from getting in?!" Leia yelled at the two guards, "I'm going to deliver these fruits to them no matter what it takes. I'll call the police if the two of you keep on stopping me. I'll charge you with false imprisonment!"
The security guards pulled a long face. They felt like Leia's saliva was all over their faces as she had been yelling at them for such a long time. "Ms. Norman, we can help you to pass the fruits to them. You're not allowed to enter."
"Are you kidding me?" Leia's complexion was sallow, and her eyes were red. "I'm calling the police now. I'll have the police officers arrest you all!"
"Excuse me." Luke stood beside Leia and looked at her without an expression on his face. "You're blocking the way."
Leia initially thought of blowing a fuse, but the moment she turned around and saw him, her face turned pale with fear. "You."
"Are you really going to call the police?" Luke asked.
Leia did something wrong, so she dared not to call the police. The reason she said that was because she wanted to scare the bodyguards and take the chance to go in to see what happened to Jack and Queenie.
Leia had asked Old Madam Norman and the caretaker who bought her meals about Jack and Queenie's situation before. They told her that the hospital did not tell them anything.
Hence, Leia had no idea if Jack and Queenie were healthy or in bad condition now.
Leia became more uneasy because of this. Hence, she kept trying to go into Jack and Queenie's ward to check on them again and again.
Leia would come here whenever she had the chance to do so. However, there were always security guards keeping watch every time she came here. There were guards on duty even if it was in the middle of the night. novelbin
Leia was depressed. Why was it not heavily guarded when she got admitted to the hospital last time?
"I..." Leia was at a loss for words.
“I can help you to call the police. I heard that the statement you gave them was a mess. The police officers will be willing to come here to take your statement again," Luke said with a cold expression on his face.
He was not intimidating her.
The police were indeed dissatisfied with the statement Leia gave them.
"What's wrong with the statement? These people aren't allowing me to visit my parents. That's imprisonment." Leia knew Luke was threatening her. She said, "I know you're the one who instructed them to do so. Don't forget they're my parents. If you keep them in captivity, I'll make sure that you'll go to prison."
Luke raised his brows. Prison?
Leia became even more confident after taking Matysh's money. Luke nodded and replied, "You speak so eloquently now. It should be fine for you to make a police statement."
After that, Luke said to the guards, "Call the police. Tell them someone is making a scene here. Get the police officers to come here and settle this."
"Yes, sir." The security guards were annoyed with Leia's behavior. They really wanted to call the police after hearing Luke say that.
"Who's making a scene here?! I came to see my parents!" The expression on Leia's face changed when she heard that.
If Leia was taken to the police station and watched under the eyes of so many police officers, she would not be able to take it.
Luke walked straight past her.
Leia dared not to follow behind him. She saw one of the security guards pick up the walkie-talkie. She immediately snatched it from him and warned him, "I'll sue you for harassing me if you dare call the
police!"
The security guard gave her a dirty look and said, "Ms. Norman, I'd suggest you go downstairs if you don't want the police to come here and make yourself look bad."
"Hmph, I'll be back. You're all doomed when my parents get better!" Leia glowered at Luke viciously from behind.
Leia was convinced that all the problems she was facing now was Luke's plan.
What was he planning?
Leia felt even more uneasy about it. It had been a while since the police officers came to look for her. She had no idea how the investigation was going on.
Leia walked into the elevator. After she arrived at the hepatobiliary department, she called the phone number of the police officer who took her statement last time.
The police officer had given her his phone number. He told her to contact him right away when she recalled any details when the incident happened.
Leia introduced herself after the call was answered. "I'm Leia Norman."
It took a few seconds for the police officer on the other end of the line to recall who Leia was. Hence, he asked, “Ms. Norman, did you recall something?”
"No. I told you everything the last time," replied Leia.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2628-“Then why did you call me^" asked the police officer, helplessly trailing off.
"I'm wondering what the progress is with my parents' assault case. Has there been any evidence on who they were and what their move was?" Leia needed to deduce if the police officers had found out that Matysh was behind this.
Matysh had already given her the money. Leia no longer wanted anything to do with him,
She was worried that Matysh would tell on her if they caught Matysh.
"We're still looking into it, and I'm not supposed to share any details. Once we find something, we'll announce it to the public," answered the police officer.
"Again
"Again..." Leia rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"I'm sorry but it's the rules," said the police officer. novelbin
"I don't care about the rules. The fact of the matter is, my parents are injured and it's because of these people, right? Now you're telling me that you can't tell me anything, even though you're looking into it. How am I supposed to explain to them what happened?" sighed Leia. "How about this, I'll throw you a bone. I suspect Luca was the one behind this. While it looked like those men were going after her, they were actually targeting my parents. I think she's the one behind it if you ask me. Arrest her before she has the chance to hurt my parents again." fumed Leia. She was pissed, pissed at the thought of Luca standing beside Luke.
While she no longer had feelings for Luke, she thought that Luca did not deserve him.
Seeing Luca standing next to Luke, it was as if she was flaunting her new-found status.
Luca had even followed Luke to the VIP floor!
As Jack and Queenie's daughter, she knew nothing about her parents' situation, but Luca knew how they were doing!
Therefore, Leia thought of asking the police officers to arrest Luca when they were here giving her the runaround.
Of course, Leia knew Luca was not the one who was behind this.
Still, she did not want to make things easy for Luca.
The police officer did not know whether to laugh or cry. He could not help but wonder how ridiculous it was for Leia to be ordering them around while she refused to cooperate with them.
“Ms. Norman, leave it to us. All your need to do is rest and wait for our announcement. If there should be nothing else, I'll need to be getting back to work." hung up the police officer.
There had not been much progress in Jack and Queenie's case. The police officers were working day and night to investigate it.
All you have to do is nurse your health and wait for our news. If there's nothing else, I need to get back to work." The police officer hung up the call after that.
The police officer had hung up on Leia. A stormy cloud immediately consumed Leia as she walked to her wardroom.
Her caretaker was sitting on the chair, watching the evening soap opera.
Leia stomped into the ward and yelled, "Stop watching the television. Peel an apple for me."
The caretaker knew that Leia's plan of getting into the VIP room had failed when she entered the room fuming with eyes ablaze.
She picked up the apple and took her time to peel it.
Leia was ready to kick up a storm when she noticed the caretaker remained unbothered. "You're too slow. Are you trying to starve me to death?"
"Ms. Norman, if you think I'm slow, you can peel it yourself. Apple peels are packed with nutrients," replied the caretaker calmly, peeling the apple slowly.
The patient beside Leia's ward bed could not help but let out a snigger when she heard what the caretaker said.
This caretaker was something else indeed.
Leia was rendered speechless.
Leia was embarrassed after realizing that there was a spectator to her little spectacle, "I'm going to fire if you continue to treat me like this."
"Ms. Norman, you're already famous in the hospital. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find you a caretaker no matter how much you try to pay them. If you'd like to fire me, you'll have to buy breakfast yourself and take your medicine on time without anyone reminding you. No one will be here to serve you. Well, it sounds difficult for you, especially when you're used to being treated like a princess. Would you be able to get used to it when you have to do everything yourself?" asked the caretaker.
Although Luke had sent her here to keep an eye on Leia, she would not go easy on her.
If she was sent to watch over anybody else, she would have been conscientious. She would have followed any orders given.
However, Leia was very bad-tempered. She decided to help Mr. and Mrs. Norman tame Leia's temper for free.
Unexpectedly, it takes one to know one, and it worked on her.
Leia's cheeks flamed with anger as the caretaker handed her the apple. "Ms. Norman, I've peeled the apple for you. Eat."
Leia refused to take it from her.
Then, the caretaker added, "It's going to oxidize later if you don't eat it now. Look at you. You're probably mad because the people upstairs don't let you in. Have an apple to cool your temper."
The caretaker stuffed the apple into Leia's hand.
"Argh!" shouted Leia as she took a bite of the apple. After spending a day together with the caretaker, she realized that the caretaker was not someone who would bow down to Leia.
After, Leia mentioned to Grandma Norman about replacing the caretaker.
However, Grandma Norman told Leia that the other caretakers in the hospital were reluctant to take the job. She asked her to put up with it and not to be picky.
That was why the caretaker was not replaced with someone else.
The caretaker smiled when she saw Leia take a bite of the apple. "Fruits are good for you. The doctor said that eating fruits is good for your health."
On the other hand.
Luke and Luca walked into Mr. and Mrs. Norman's wardroom.
"Luke? Luca? Why are you here at this hour?" asked Jack, surprised to see them.
After all, Luke would normally inform them in advance if he would be coming to visit.
"Rain sent me a video just now. I think it'd be better for the two of you to take a look at it," explained Luke as he took his laptop out. Then, he said to the caretaker, "You may leave now."
The caretaker nodded and stepped out of the wardroom. Jack and Queenie's condition was stable. It would be fine if no caretakers were looking after them at night.
"What is it?" asked Queenie. She was curious.
Luke remained silent. Then, Jack realized what they would be watching when he noticed Luke's behavior.
Jack instructed Rain to retrieve his computer case. The computer was connected to the surveillance cameras of the Norman residence.
Jack's face darkened. If Luke was showing them the footage, it meant he found something.
It was probably what they speculated.
Queenie was quick to notice the changes in Jack's expression and Luke turned on the laptop without saying anything. She could not help but feel anxious, "What happened?"
"Mrs. Norman, take it easy." comforted Luca. She could not bear to see Queenie so anxious before she watched the footage.
Queenie pursed her lips and looked at them.
The door was being pushed open, and Johann came in. "I'm here."
"Okay." nodded Luke and placed the laptop on the coffee table.
Before Luke could say anything, Queenie questioned again, "Why is Dr. Park here too?"
Queenie suddenly realized that the reason why Johann had come was probably because of her...
Perhaps there was something that could overwhelm her with shock in the video.
Jack turned to look at Queenie, "Don't watch if you don't feel like watching the video. Let me handle this."
Queenie tugged at his sleeves and shook her head. She stood with determination, "Dear, I'd like to watch the video."
"Then be prepared for it." Jack held her hands, walked toward the sofa, and sat down.
Luke pressed the play button with his lips pursed.
In the video, there was footage of Leia walking out of the villa, heading to the backyard garden, opening the door, pretending as if nothing happened, then returning to the house.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2629-"Was it Leia who opened the door for them?" Queenie was stunned as she watched the video footage. Then, she glanced at the time shown in the image.
Her face turned pale white. She looked up at Luke to ask for his confirmation.
"Yes." nodded Luke.
Queenie shook her head, refusing to believe what she just saw. While Leia had hurt her before, she promised she would never do it again.
They must stay together as a family.
However, as Luke showed her the video, showing her that the alarm was not triggered because Leia had welcomed them in.
Not only was Leia trying to harm Luca, but she intended to hurt both of them too.
"How could it be Leia..." mumbled Queenie.
"The police have the surveillance footage on the day of the incident, but it's different from this one," uttered Luke, observing Queenie's reaction attentively. "The surveillance footage that the police have has been doctored. Rain noticed the footage on that day was the exact same as the days before. Even the sprouts were moving at the same frequency. That was why she suspected that the clip had been doctored."
"Then?" asked Jack. His right hand was clutching Queenie's left hand. He could feel her palms turning cold.
"Some surveillance clips remain in the computer case taken from Norman's residence. If Leia forgot to close the door, there's no need to delete this part from the footage." Luke wanted Queenie to face thenovelbin
truth.
Queenie was not a fool, but she was too soft-hearted. She refused to believe her daughter, the apple of her eye, would cross the line again.
Queenie pursed her lips. She thought about what Luke said to them.
She was reluctant to face it, knowing that the daughter she had brought up would actually do such a ridiculous thing.
"Call the police," instructed Jack.
Queenie did not say anything.
Luke spoke with a cold expression on his face, "We don't have enough evidence." Jack frowned. He initially thought of teaching Leia a lesson while Queenie was drowning in disappointment.
“Continue to look for evidence. This is outrageous. She even wanted to harm us. I must teach her a lesson this time!" Jack gripped Queenie's hand tight. At the same time, he was telling Queenie that he would not let Leia get away with this easily.
"Dear," sighed Queenie.
Everyone in the wardroom turned to look at her.
Queenie let go of Jack's hand. She rose to her feet. Then, she staggered.
The caretaker beside her was fast to help Queenie up. "Mrs. Norman, are you alright?"
Johann immediately came forward. "Mrs. Norman, let's get you to bed. Let me check on you."
Queenie shook her head. "I lost my balance. Don't worry."
Luca pursed her lips. It broke her heart to see Queenie in such a state.
"Luca." Queenie turned to look at Luca and saw the worried look in her eyes. She felt inexplicably upset. Why was her daughter not Luca, but Leia?
It was Leia who poisoned her, opened the door, and wanted her dead.
"Mrs. Norman, go and sit on the bed." Luca stepped forward to help her.
Queenie, who initially refused to get back onto the bed, acquiesced and returned to her bed with Luca's help.
"Luca, I'm sorry," apologized Queenie.
"Mrs. Norman, you didn't do anything wrong." Luca shook her head. It was Leia and Matysh who worked together to plot against her. It was not her fault.
"No. It's my fault for bringing up such an evil child. I was wrong to listen to her. It was also my mistake to ask you to come to the Norman Residence to nurse her health. Luca, I've made a big mistake. I'm sorry. The Norman family owes you one," apologized Queenie, but this time, she was no longer apologizing on behalf of Leia.
There was a faint smile on Johann's face. He was wrapping the blood pressure cuff around Queenie's arm when he heard that.
When Johann was treating Queenie these days, what he saw the most was Queenie's good temper and how much she adored Leia.
Most of the time, Queenie was the one who apologized on behalf of Leia when she scolded the doctors.
This time, Queenie personally apologized to Luca because of what she did. Johann thought that she had finally made some progress.
At least, Queenie did not have to stoop so low and kneel for Leia's sake.
It proved that her state of mind had changed because of the incident.
"Mrs. Norman..." Luca felt a lump in her throat. She had no idea what Leia was thinking about.
Queenie was a good mother. She did not fail as a mother.
When a child becomes an adult, one's parents would no longer determine who they would become. Therefore, Queenie did not have to bear any responsibility for how Leia ended up like this.
“Her blood pressure is normal. The heart rate is normal too. Go on." said Johann suddenly, cutting through the sadness lingering in the air between the two of them.
Luca sniffed.
Queenie turned to look at Jack. He had worked really hard for the family. He gave her and Leia a life without worries.
She did not expect that Leia would become such a person.
"Dear, just do what should be done. It must have been difficult for you," uttered Quennie slowly.
Jack let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Luke. "Luke, tell us everything you know. Let your mother-in-law know the ins and outs of the matter."
Luke nodded. He began telling Queenie about Matysh's interest in Luca and how he was trying to get her. Then, he told her how Mandy had acted as the middle-man for Leia and Matysh. Moreover, a huge
amount of money was deposited into Leia's bank account after the incident happened.
The person who transferred her the money was Mandy.
Queenie's brows furrowed even deeper when she heard what Luke told her.
Queenie thought Leia had been nursing her health the entire time. She did not expect a conspiracy behind this.
"I remembered the maid at the apartment told me that a woman called Ms. Sanders had visited Leia before. Leia even asked the maid to get some steak for them and sent her away. After she bought the steak and went back, Ms. Sanders had already left." muttered Queenie, recalling what the maid had told her.
Queenie asked the maid to keep an eye on her to stop Leia from getting in touch with her bad friends when she was unable to watch herself. She also reminded the maid to inform her when someone visited Leia.
"I knew about this," said Luke. He knew Mandy and Leia knew each other. His men had been watching them downstairs at Leia's apartment.
Queenie gently lifted her head.
"One more thing. The reason why you can't reach Leia is that I've installed a software in your phone," admitted Luke.
Queenie was stunned for a moment. "No wonder..."
Even though Leia pretended to care for her, she would have to continue to put up a show, and she would not have behaved indifferently.
"Leia is in the hospital now. She deliberately came to the hospital to avoid getting involved in the investigation. She's currently in the wardroom downstairs. Besides, she intended to come to visit the two of you regularly. But she was stopped by the security guards," continued Luke. Since he did not have to hide anything anymore, he might as well lay everything on the table. Jack did not have to try so hard to hide it from her anymore.
"Stopped by the security guards?" asked Queenie in surprised. "Why would the guards stop her?"
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2630-“It was my request." admitted Jack, clearing his throat. “On the first day we were admitted to the hospital, I woke up and asked Dr. Park not to let her in. I was worried she'd disturb you."
“Dear, you knew Leia had something to do with this on the first day, didn't you?" speculated Quennie.
“Yes." nodded Jack. “That's why I asked them to stop her from coming in. I was worried she'd continue to hurt you."
Queenie let out a long, deep sigh. “I understand. I'll leave this to you."
Jack and Luke exchanged glances with each other.
Queenie seemed to have dealt with it better than they had expected.
“I'm tired," said Queenie.
Luke nodded. He had told her everything and told her everything she should have known too.
“Have a good rest. We're leaving." Luke turned to look at Luca.
"Drive safe." Jack walked them to the wardroom door and watched them leave, only then did he turn around to look at Queenie, who was lost in her thoughts.
Queenie appeared to be calm in front of Luke and Luca before, but as her husband, Jack knew her well.
“I'm getting off work. Rest well," said Johann, leaving the room too.
After Johann left, Queenie turned to the caretaker, “You don't have to stay here tonight. Go back and rest."
“Mrs. Norman..." The caretaker hesitated.
“Bring me some peanut butter oatmeal tomorrow. The oatmeal in the hospital doesn't taste good," said Queenie to the caretaker.
“Sure. Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, rest well." The maid left the wardroom and closed the door.
There were only the two of them left in the wardroom.
“Queen, are you mad?" asked Jack. After all, there were so many things he kept from her.
Jack promised her that he would never lie on the day he married her.
However, he had been hiding many things from her for her own good.
There was Leia's matter, and Bianca's.
“Dear, you did it for me, right?" There was sadness in Queenie's eyes. She tried so hard to be calm in front of the others, but she could no longer stay calm in front of the man she loved the most.
"Yes. There's so much I didn't tell you. They're for your own good. Queen, you shouldn't worry so much." Jack walked toward her and wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
Queenie rested her head on his shoulder. "In the end, I've failed as a mother. I've never thought of harming Leia, but Leia... Forget about it. I'll leave it to you, and I'll cooperate with you all."
Now, she had finally understood why Jack refused to leave the hospital.
It was because the VIP wardroom could hide them well, shielding their condition from the eyes of others. Leia could not come in here. She could only wait anxiously.
The move that Jack and Luke had made was a big but smart one.
"Queen, everything will be fine." Jack knew what Queenie had in mind. Only Luca could make Queenie feel better now.
He hoped Luke would settle all these troubles soon. Then, Luca could confess her true identity and come back to them.
"I hope so," replied Queenie. Something came across her mind and she turned to look at him, "Is there something else you're still hiding from me?"
"Yes." nodded Jack. "But I promise I'll tell you in the future."
"Alright. You must tell me after everything's settled." Queenie knew there must be a reason why Jack chose not to tell her.
Queenie was not as capable as they were. The only thing she could do was to not cause any more trouble.
Hence, Jack chose to hide these from her to stop her from overthinking.
She understood.
On the other hand.
After Luke and Luca left the hospital, they did not head home right away. Instead, he sat in the driver's seat and asked Luca, "Would you like to have supper?"
"Huh?" Luca was surprised. Luke did not have the habit of having supper back then. "Are you hungry?"
"I didn't have enough for dinner." Luke made an excuse. It was not that he did not have enough, but he wanted to spend some time alone with her.
It was a rare opportunity.
The maid was looking after the kids. They did not have to rush back home. Thus, they should seize the chance to spend some time together.
"Are you craving anything?" Luca picked up her phone and opened the map. She wanted to see if there was anything they could eat nearby.
"Let me see." Luke paused for a moment. The first thing that came into his mind was Luca's homemade burger.
However, the kids were not in bed yet. If they went back home, it would not be only the two of them.
Not to mention Lanie and Rainie, Tommy was the clingiest one among the three of them.
Luca looked at the recommendations on her phone, "There's a French restaurant in front of us. I heard that the food there tasted good. Why don't we give it a try?"
"Sure." nodded Luke and took Luca's phone from her to see where the location was. Then, he drove in the direction of the French restaurant.
After they parked the car, the two of them walked into the French restaurant.
Many people were dining in the restaurant.
The waiter led them to a table in the corner of the restaurant and had them seated.
Luke took the menu from the waiter and handed it to Luca. "See if there's anything you'd like to order."
Luca took it from him. She could not help but ask, "Aren't you hungry? You're the one who's supposed to order."
"I'm fine with anything. Order something you like." Luke knew Luca would always prefer something light. French cuisine would suit her well.
Luca ticked a few dishes that seemed promising on the menu with a pencil. Taking Luke's taste preferences into account, she ordered a few sauces and creams.
"Done. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to order?" Luca handed the menu to him.
Luke noticed that Luca ordered some sauces and asked, "Why did you order the sauces?" novelbin
"French dishes are usually more healthy and lighter. I'm worried that you can't get used to it," answered Luca.
Luke gave her a faint smile and let her order anything she wished. Then, he ordered some dessert.
The waiter sized the two of them up. He could not help but secretly exclaim how pleased he was to see a handsome man sitting together with a gorgeous woman. Besides, the woman was such a considerate woman. How could one not love her?
They were a well-matched couple.
"That's all." Luke handed the menu to the waiter.
"Okay. Monsieur, Madame, please have some water. Let me send your orders to the kitchen." The waiter took the menu from them and strode off.
Twenty minutes later, the waiter served the dishes they ordered.
They ordered some classic French dishes. They looked fancy and appetizing.
Luke poured her a glass of lemonade, "Try this."
Luca nodded. She picked up the spoon, grabbed a piece of chicken cordon bleu, and placed it on Luke's plate. "You too."
"Sure." Luke picked up his fork and knife and took a bite.
The waiter who stood beside them smiled and asked, "Monsieur, Madame, our restaurant is new in the city. We'd like to know some customer reviews about the taste preferences here. What do you think about our food?" "Authentic," replied Luke. He went on a business trip to France before and had authentic French cuisine there.
The food served was good indeed. At least it was authentic French cuisine. They did not make any changes to the food recipe to cater to the taste preferences of the people here.
