Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2631-The waiter turned to Luca, “Madame, what do you think?"

“It's good," replied Luca.

“Okay. Thank you for your reviews. Here are some souffle glaces for you. I wish the two of you much love and happiness." The waiter picked up the plate of souffle glaces on the tray and placed it on the table. Then, he turned around and left.

Luca was lost in her thoughts as she stared at the souffle glaces on the table. Would she and Luke be able to live a happy life together? novelbin

Should she tell Luke the truth after she finds the antidote? Would she be able to attack Abel with Luke's help?

However, if things turned out that way, what would happen to Eler and Nyla, who were on the Island of Despair?

Luca felt crushed. She had done so many things that were detrimental to the interests of T Corporation and Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Would Luke forgive her if he found out about that?

“What's on your mind?" Luke picked up a souffle glace and placed it on her plate.

“Nothing," said Luca, coming back to her senses.

“Have some. It tastes better while it's warm." Luke noticed that Luca was preoccupied while staring at the souffle glace. He knew Luca must be thinking about the future.

“Alright." Luca took a bite of the souffle glace and recalled what the waiter said to them. She secretly muttered to herself that she hoped so too.

She hoped that she could still be together with Luke after what they would be going through and after they overcame the obstacles.

She also hoped that Nyla could come back to her father and grow up happily.

On the Island of Despair.

Eler was teaching Nyla to read. The alphabet cards that she used were the ones Amur brought back here from the off-island.

“Ms. Eler, isn't my mother a citizen of A City? Why am I learning Russian?" asked Nyla in confusion, holding the Russian alphabet card in her hand.

Eler stroked the little girl's head, “It's because we're in Russia now. Besides, I only know how to speak English, but I can't read."

Eler learned how to speak English from Luca, after knowing her for three years. Yet, she had no idea how to read nor write English words.

She would not teach Nyla something she did not know so that she would not mislead her.

“Umm, but I'd like to learn English." Nyla toyed with the card. “Learning Russian isn't fun at all. I know how to speak Russian."

Eler heaved a sigh. Nyla was smart, and she could speak Russian eloquently. She also knew how to speak English.

Even though the kid knew how to speak, she did not know how to write or recognize letters.

Luca was not on the island either. Hence, Eler could only teach Nyla Russian, but she could not teach her English as Eler did not understand the letters either...

“Nyla, let's wait for Mommy to come back and teach you English, okay? Let's learn Russian first. See, you don't even know how to spell these yet," persuaded Eler patiently.

Now that Luca and Amur were out there. She was the only one looking after Nyla. Thus, she had to take good care of herself.

Nyla rolled her eyes and suddenly rose to her feet. She wrapped her chubby arms around Eler's neck, “Ms. Eler, Uncle Shanks knows how to speak English. Why don't we go look for him?"

Eler let out a helpless sigh as she looked at Nyla's little round eyes. “You wanted to play games with Uncle Shanks, right?"

Nyla smiled at her and clapped her hands. "Ms. Eler, you're pretty smart. It's boring to sit here and look at the cards. There's so much interesting stuff at Uncle Shank's place. Why don't we head there?"

“No, Mr. Shanks is busy with his research lately. We shouldn't disturb him." Eler shook her head and stopped Nyla.

Even though Nyla did not spend much time together with Shanks, the little girl seemed to be fond of him.

She would always look for Shanks when she had the chance.

Although Eler could stop her, the little girl would be unhappy about it.

“Ms. Eler." Nyla heaved a sigh. “I'm bored."

“Then let's stop learning. Why don't we play some board games?" Eler took a board game out. It was also something that Amur got for the child when he was out there.

There were no toys on the island.

When Amur brought them back, they checked the toys and made sure that there were no signaling devices, surveillance cameras, or any other devices, only then they allowed him to bring them into the island.

“Nah, this isn't fun at all." Nyla was already tired of it.

Eler forced a smile. Sure enough, no matter how interesting a toy was, the kids would always get tired of it after playing with it for a while.

It was more suitable for Nyla to grow up in the outside world.

Still, would Nyla be able to get out of here?

Eler let out a sigh.

“Ms. Eler, why don't we bring the board game along with us and look for Uncle Shanks? There's nothing fun on this island. I'm sure he has never played this before." Nyla blinked her eyes. All she had in mind was Shanks.

Eler wanted to say yes, but they would probably run into someone else if they went out.

Those people were up to no good.

Furthermore, those people were always training and striving to reach higher. It would be a bad influence on Nyla to see those people carrying knives, guns, or any other weapons with them.

Besides, Eler was afraid of running into Abel...

Abel reminded Eler of Luca whenever Nyla saw him.

"Ms. Eler..."

"Be good. They're training out there. If we go out, we might.." Eler stroked the child's head.

Nyla noticed the fear in Eler's eyes. She had no choice but to compromise.

She often wondered why Eler was afraid of those people.

They were just training.

Moreover, it seemed interesting to see those men carrying weapons in their hands.

Eler smiled when Nyla chose to acquiesce. She then suggested, "Why don't we make it more interesting?"

"How?" Nyla's big eyes were filled with confusion.

"Let's play Candy Land. The person who loses the game will have to get flicked in the forehead as punishment. What do you think?" asked Eler, raising her eyebrows.

Nyla nodded immediately. "Ms. Eler, you're going to lose! You always lose when it comes to such games."

"We don't know who's the winner yet. Bring it on." Eler set up the board game and began to play with Nyla.

A bet had finally pulled Nyla to join the game.

Eler was playing with her while she secretly wondered when Luca and Amur would return.

Eler was alone on the island. She was scared and worried, and she could not stand it for much longer.

Eler knew she was not strong enough. She could not even protect herself, not to mention protecting Nyla.

She was afraid something would happen to them if this continued.

She needed to seize the chance to give Luca a call or a video call. It did noot matter if she would end up stuck on the Island of Despair for the rest of her life. After all, she has been here since she was little. She was already resigned to her fate.

However, things were different for Nyla. Eler was hoping that Luca could get Nyla out of here.

The environment on the Island of Despair was nothing but a bad influence on the little girl.

'Ms. Luca, please come back soon.' Eler secretly thought to herself.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2632-Next morning.

Luca woke up in Luke's arms. The moment she opened her eyes, Luke's phone rang.

“Um, Luke, your phone." Luca rubbed her head.

After they had supper last night, the kids were already in bed when they reached home. Luke decided to take out a bottle of red wine and drank a few glasses alone. Then, he used being drunk as an excuse to hold Luca in his arms and made love with her into the night.

It was already daylight when he opened his eyes again.

Luke picked up his incessantly buzzing phone. He glanced at the phone screen to see who was calling. Then, he turned on the speaker and placed it beside his pillow, only then did he answer the call. “Yes?"

“Good morning, Mr. Crawford. I'm the police officer on duty. My badge number is XXXXXXXX. I'm sorry to disturb you early in the morning." There came a man's voice from the other end of the call.

Luke turned around and held Luca's soft body in his arms. He buried his face in Luca's hair. “What's the matter?"

"Are you able to reach Ms. Craw?" The police officer asked.

Luca was a little surprised, but she could feel Luke's hands touching her body. She pushed Luke away with her left hand and met his eyes. She mouthed the words and asked him what was going on.

Luke understood what she was talking about. He bent down, lowered his head, and planted a gentle kiss on her lips.

“Mr. Crawford?" The police officer had no choice but to continue to ask when he was met with silence.

"Just tell me what you want." Luke was running out of patience. He had been woken up early in the morning, and he would like to spend some time alone with Luca, but the police officer was ruining his plans.

“Earlier, the chief of police contacted you. The suspect who held Ms. Craw hostage said that he was in pain. Now that he is in the custodial ward. The doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with him after examining him. But he couldn't stand the pain. We heard that Ms. Craw has some medical knowledge. So, we'd like to contact her and ask if she has the time to come here and see what's wrong with him," The police officer chose his words carefully as he explained.

The hospital had already called him twice last night, telling him that the patient was in bad condition. There was an unbearable pain in his stomach.

However, there were no wounds on the man's body. There was no internal bleeding too. It was an unknown severe pain.

Still, the police officers saw how the patient suffered in pain. It did not look like he was putting on a show indeed.

The suspect would roll and writhe in bed. If it were not for the bedside rails and the handcuffs, he would have rolled out of the bed and fallen on the ground.

In less than 5 minutes, the suspect was covered in sweat. His body would start twitching. The doctor had no choice but to give him painkillers.

It was just that the effects of the painkillers were getting less effective.

The doctor on duty said that the suspect might get addicted to the painkillers if he took them repeatedly in such a short period.

That was why the police thought of contacting Luca to find out what was going on.

However, Luke mentioned to them that they had to contact him first before contacting Luca. Otherwise, no one was allowed to call Luca.

The suspect was having an episode of severe pain right now.

Besides, the doctor dared not to give him any more painkillers. The police officer had no choice but to call Luke.

“She doesn't know anything about medicine." Luke was unhappy with Luca pushing him away when he wanted some intimacy. He had no choice but to pinch her cheeks to vent his emotions.

"But..." The police officer hesitated.

"Do you spend your time worrying about the suspect?" Luke interrupted him, while his hand was slowly sliding down on Luca's face. He could feel Luca breathing nervously.

"No."

"Ask the doctor to give him some painkillers if he's in pain. Ms. Craw is not a doctor. She has no idea why he's in pain. And, did the police find anything?" questioned Luke. novelbin

"Not yet." The police officer sounded frustrated.

Even though he was not talking to Luke in person, he felt nervous when Luke was stern.

He had a strong imposing vibe.

Luke frowned. They all knew that Matysh had something to do with this, but the police had been looking into the case, and they had yet to contact Matysh.

He could not drop them a hint either.

Besides, the police needed evidence, but they were making slow progress in looking for the evidence.

"Go and look for it. I hope that it will be you telling me that you've made some progress the next time I receive a call from the police." Luke hung up the call after that. Then, he wrapped his arms around Luca. "I had no choice," said Luca. She would never have mercy on those who intended to harm her and her family.

Luca had learned many skills on the Island of Despair. She knew she had to use the strongest method to protect herself from those who were unkind to her.

Previously, she was defenseless. That was why she could not protect herself, and she caused so much trouble for Luke.

Now, she was capable of defending herself. She would not let those people hurt her anymore.

After all, she could not burden Luke with her problems...

“I know." Luke gently stroked her back.

Where his fingers touched made her cower, and he said, "You did a great job."

Luca was defending herself. Moreover, that person would only be in pain for a few days. It was not lifethreatening, and Luca was considered kind to let him live.

Luke believed that Luca could have taken the man's life, but she chose not to. She did not want to get Luke in trouble.

Now, the suspect was in pain. His life was not in danger. That was why the police listened to him, and they only called to ask about his condition.

If the suspect was dead, the police would have arrested Luca and taken her away.

Luca lay in his arms with her eyes narrowed, enjoying the warmth of his embrace. After a while, her phone vibrated. She opened her eyes and met his eyes "I'm getting out of bed."

"Stay with me a little longer." Luke did not want her to leave.

Ever since Luca came back, he wished that she could stay beside him every moment, so that she could make up the time they had lost for the past three years.

"The kids will be waking up soon. They'll come in if they can't find me later." sighed Luca. She remembered that she did not lock the door before they slept last night.

Tommy would come in anytime if they continued to stay in bed.

"They've grown up. It's not like they can't see things like this." When Luke saw her getting out of bed, he sat up on the bed too.

Luca watched the skin below her neck, and her face slowly turned red. Could the kids see something like this?

Luca's face reddened. She hurried into the bathroom to clean herself up.

Luke smiled lazily while he listened to the noises coming from the bathroom. She looked pretty when she blushed.

Luke had the urge to hold her in his arms and take her for his own. He did not want her to leave whenever he saw her blushing like that.

After Luca cleaned herself up, she changed into her office wear. Then, she asked Luke, who was shaving in the bathroom, "Why did the police call you first? Why didn't they call me right away?"

"I told them to call me if anything happens. I didn't want them to disturb you," answered Luke.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2633-"That's why they contacted you." Luca was wondering a moment ago. Did she not give the police her contact number?

Why did they have to call Luke first before reaching her?

It was Luke who told them to do so.

No wonder there were hardly any calls coming in these days. It had been quiet.

Luca sat down in front of the dressing table. She took the bandage and medicine out of the drawer, preparing to change her wound dressing. She did not get to change it last night as Luke was teasing her.

"Are you changing the wound dressing?" Luke put on a collared shirt and understood what Luca was doing when he saw the bandage.

"Yes." Luca nodded and untied the gauze bandage.

Round and round, the bandage covering her wound was slowly unfastened. The wound with stitches was exposed to the air.

Luca carefully observed her wound.

The sutured wound was already full of scabs because of the poison in Luca's body that sped up the healing of the wound. Also, she applied some medicine to it.

"There are scabs already." Luke grabbed her hand and glanced at it.

Some of the dark red scabs on her hand were already falling off. An ordinary person would not have been able to heal that fast.novelbin

Luke asked, "Did I overlook yesterday?"

"No, you didn't. It's almost healed." Luca knew Luke was talking about the scabs that were almost falling off.

After all, her wounds heal faster than the others.

Luca withdrew her hand and applied some medicine to it.

"This isn't what the hospital gave you," said Luke. He saw the medicine Johann prescribed for Luca to clean her wound that day. It was not what Luca was using now.

"I made this." Luca picked up the gauze bandage after applying the medicine.

"Let me help you." Luke grabbed the gauze bandage in Luca's hands and helped her to bandage her hand.

Luke was worried that he would accidentally press on her wound. He observed the expressions on Luca's face when he was bandaging it. After that, he tied a bow with the bandage.

Luca could not help but laugh when she saw such a pretty bow, “I didn't know you could tie such a pretty bow. It looks so much prettier than the way I bandage my hand single-handedly."

"Rainie loves to wear dresses. She refused to let the others tie her bow on her dress back then. She insisted on asking me to tie it for her. Practice makes perfect. The bow gets prettier as I get familiar with it," explained Luke.

Luke remembered that something had happened to Bianca at that time. Rainie was feeling depressed all day. She insisted on Luke helping her to tie the bow when she wore a dress back then.

If the bow was not pretty enough, she would put on a gloomy expression on her face that resembled Bianca.

Therefore, Luke would put in some effort when he was tying the bow on Rainie's dress even though he was in a bad mood. That was why the bow he tied now looked perfect and pretty.

Luca walked out of the bedroom after she changed her wound dressing. She went to the kids' room to check on them. After making sure that they were awake, she headed downstairs.

Aunt Neile and the maid had breakfast prepared downstairs in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Mr. Crawford. Good morning, Ms. Craw. Breakfast is ready." Aunt Neile smiled and greeted them when she saw them coming down the stairs.

"Good morning, Aunt Neile. Thank you for preparing breakfast for us." Luca looked at the dishes served on the dining table. It must have taken Aunt Neile and the maid a long time to prepare these.

Luca's hand was injured. It was right for Luke to ask one of the maids in Crawford manor to come over and assist Aunt Neile.

"It's my job. What would you like to drink?" Aunt Neile asked.

"Please get me a glass of soy milk please," answered Luca. Even though she did not have enough rest yesterday, she could not drink coffee now.

"I'd like to have a cup of coffee," said Luke.

"Alright. Have your breakfast first. Let me prepare them for you," replied Aunt Neile. She walked into the kitchen and prepared the soy milk and coffee for them.

After a while, the three kids who had cleaned themselves up made their way down the stairs. They sat at the dining table, having their breakfast.

Tommy asked, "Daddy, you went to visit grandpa and grandma last night, right?"

"Yes." Luke tore off a bite-sized piece of bread and slowly chewed it.

"How are they?" Tommy asked again. He initially thought of waiting for Luke and Luca to come home before he went to sleep last night, but they came home late. Tommy was urged to go to bed. There was no sign of them coming back even after he fell asleep.

"They are getting well. Don't worry. I'll take you to visit them when they get discharged from the hospital," replied Luke. He took a sip of the coffee. Aunt Neile learned how to make coffee from the barista working in a cafe. The coffee she made tasted good, but the coffee Luca made was much better than hers.

"The adults love to tell us to wait." Tommy took a bite of his bread and turned to look at Luca. "Ms. Luca, we're worried about grandpa and grandma. Can you take us to the hospital?"

Luca would usually fulfill the kids' requests.

However, it was not the time to do so. She replied awkwardly, “They need more rest now. I'll take you there when they get discharged from the hospital and return home."

"Ms. Luca, you must have discussed it with Daddy, right!" Tommy thought Luca would say yes when he asked for her help.

He did not expect to get rejected.

Luca smiled helplessly.

Rainie placed a piece of bread in front of Tommy, and said, "Tommy, your favorite homemade ham and cheese bread."

"Rainie..."

"Great-grandpa said that we shouldn't talk when we're having meals at the dining table. Tommy, if you make it a habit, you'll get lectured by Great-grandpa when you return to Crawford Manor." Lanie suddenly spoke.

Tommy shut his mouth embarrassingly. He was afraid of Great-grandpa when he was strict with him!

"Daddy, if you're busy lately, send us back to Crawford Manor. We miss Great-grandpa so much," suggested Lanie. Although no one told Lanie what was going on, he knew something serious must be happening.

"I'll send you back to Crawford Manor for two days to keep Great-grandpa's company this weekend," replied Luke.

Even though they were busy, Luke believed that Luca would like her kids to stay beside her more.

That was why Luke did not send Lanie and the others to Crawford Manor right away.

The three kids headed to school after breakfast.

Luca watched them from behind. She could not help but mutter, "I think Lanie should skip a grade."

"Skip a grade?" Luke and Luca walked toward the garden. He was getting ready to go to work, and his chauffeur was already waiting at the entrance.

"Yeah," Luca told Luke what Lanie said to her.

"He can skip a grade indeed." Luke nodded. He decided not to let Lanie skip grades because he wanted Lanie to enjoy his childhood and not let him feel pressured by his studies.

This was what Bianca wanted back then.

He did not expect her to change her mind now.

Skipping a grade was something good for the child. After all, the difficulty of his current grade level curriculum was not hard at all.

"Perhaps you should think about it. I respect the child's decision. His teacher mentioned it to me before, but you rejected it." Luca walked to the back of the door. She stopped and turned to look at him.

Even though it was not the time to discuss the kids' academic issues, Luke had been busy the entire time, and they could only discuss it in such a situation.

"It was his mother's wish not to let him skip grades. She wanted him to have a happy childhood, but it seemed like Lanie should skip a grade. It was what he wanted after all. I'll inform the teacher to arrange

for it." Luke turned to look at Luca. She almost drowned in the tenderness in his eyes.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2634-"Alright." Luca turned her gaze away and opened the door.

Two cars were parked in front of the entrance, waiting for them.

"I'm going to work," said Luca.

Luke watched Luca get into the car and after she left, only then did he get into his car.

"Boss, are we heading straight to the office?" asked the chauffeur.

"To the police station, please," replied Luke. He was dissatisfied with their progress on the case. He had to intervene when necessary.

The police officer on duty recognized Luke the moment he stepped into the police station. He quickly invited him to the chief of police's office.

"Mr. Crawford, the chief is in a meeting now. It'll take some time for the meeting to end." said the police officer while pouring him a cup of tea.

Luke took a flash drive out of his briefcase, "I didn't come looking for your chief. I came to report a case."

"A case? This way, please." The police officer's anxiety immediately spiked. After all, they had not solved the Norman family's case yet, and now Luke had come to report another case.

It seemed like there were endless cases for them to deal with. They had been working overtime for a few days now. They watched the surveillance footage many times yet they found nothing.

Luke followed him to the interview room.

The police officer sat opposite him and turned on the video recorder. "Mr. Crawford, please tell me about it."

"When my company was dealing with foreign trade deals, I found out that they have been doing some unlawful things. The evidence is in the flash disk." Luke handed the police officer the flash disk.

"Foreign trade? We might need the other departments to deal with this." The police officer took the flash disk from him. Luke mentioned foreign trade, and that would mean international trading. The suspect was probably a foreigner.

"He's still in the country." Luke knew what he meant. "And he's in A City."

If the suspect was in the country, then the police officer would be responsible for it.

"Understood. We'll immediately check the data in the flash disk and proceed with the next step," answered the police officer.

Luke nodded and rose to his feet. “I hope the police can take this seriously."

The flash disk had information on what Matysh had done in A City back then.

However, the person had let it slide due to Matysh's identity in recent years. That was why he was why he still roamed free in A City.

Once the information in the flash disk was disclosed to the public, Matysh had to be investigated for his crimes in A City. If he was lucky enough to run back to Russia, he would never be permitted to enter A City again.

No matter what the final outcome was, he could never have scheme and plot towards Luca anymore.

"Yes. Definitely. We won't let any criminal escape from their crimes," answered the police officer righteously. At the same time, he opened the door for Luke.

There, the chief of police officer met Luke, greeting him enthusiastically. "Mr. Crawford, why are you here?"

"I came to report a case," replied Luke coldly.

The chief of police was startled for a moment. He thought something was wrong with the Norman family's case again. Hence, he asked, "Is this about the Norman family's case?"

"No." denied Luke. However, the information he provided them could lead them to investigate Matysh.

Still, it was hard to tell if the police officers were efficient enough.

Luke only hoped that they could arrest Matysh and not give him the chance to escape after they saw the evidence.

"Alright. Don't worry. We'll take the case seriously." promised the chief of police as he walked Luke out of the police station.

Luke paused for a moment and gave the chief of police a meaningful look. "Will you?"

The chief of police was dumbfounded. He thought Luke was disbelieving of his promise. He immediately assured him, "Yes. I promise I'll try my best to investigate every case."

Luke continued to stride off to the entrance.

After the chief of police walked him out, he turned around and asked the police officer who interviewed him, "What's the matter? What case did Mr. Crawford report?"

"He didn't mention the details. He gave me a flash disk and told me that the evidence is in there. The suspect seems to be a foreigner," answered the police officer.

"A foreigner?" The chief of police frowned and took the flash disk from him. "You, and you, come with me."

Then, he walked into his office.

The two police officers who were called immediately followed him into the office. The three of them stood in front of a computer, looking at the evidence Luke had given.

The chief of police frowned upon seeing the evidence. "This happened a few years ago. Besides, the suspect is a foreigner. It's not easy for us to look into it..."

"Chief, Mr. Crawford said that the suspect is in A City now." said the police officer, relaying what Luke had told him.

"He's in A City?" The chief of police immediately picked up his phone. “Then it's our case now. Look into this person's background. And you, go to the Department of States to get his information and inform the CPBs not to let this person out the city."

The chief of police took the case even more seriously because it was Luke who came to report the case himself.

They were at a critical moment now and something like this happened to the Norman family. It had caused such a big fiasco, but fortunately, Jack and the authorities has yet to announce anything to the public. The reporters who were curious about the case dared not to report on it either. They could only leave the investigation to the police.

Now that Luke had reported another case. They had to get it done and arrest the suspect first.

“Chief, I've got an idea..." said the police officer who interviewed Luke.

“What you've got?" The chief of police saved the information in the flash disk.

"Well, does the case have something to do with Norman's family case since Mr. Crawford came to report it himself? Why did he dredge up the cases that happened in the past all of a sudden?" said the police officer, sharing his thoughts.

The chief of police furrowed his brow, “I know. Luke has men who have been looking into these."

“Yes. Those men copied the surveillance footage when we were at the crime scene. It's just that she told us that she's keeping the evidence. We can't stop her either," said the police officer. Those men copied the data in front of them. Furthermore, they were not suspects either, so he did not stop them.

“Perhaps we should look into this!" The chief of police slammed the table and thought there might be some connection between the two cases. “Any news from the hospital?"

“Yes. The suspect suffered from his pain episodes twice. One of our colleagues went to find Mr. Crawford and got lectured for that. There's nothing much the doctor can do for him. They can only continue to give the suspect some painkillers, but it might affect the suspect's health if he takes too many painkillers. It's hard to tell."

"How troublesome. Is he really not faking it?" The chief frowned.

“Doesn't seem like it. The doctor thinks he's not." said the police officer, shaking his head.

“What about his organization?"

“We've already brought them here to interview them. The leader of the organization insisted that it was the suspect who did this alone. They have nothing to do with this," replied the police officer.novelbin

They knew which organization the suspect belonged to, but the leader of the organization had a perfect alibi that he was not at the scene. They wanted to detain those men, but they did not have the evidence to do so.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2635-"How troublesome. Then it would be best if you looked into it too. Let's see what these people have to do with that foreigner called..." The chief of police paused for a moment.

"Matysh," one of the police officers reminded him in a low voice.

“Yes, Matysh. Look into it and find out if there's any connection between them," continued the chief of police.

He thought the police officer was right about it.

After all, the case Luke reported happened last year. Perhaps Luke came to drop them a hint when he came to report the case at this time.

"Alright, Chief. I'll look into this right now." The police officer turned around and left the office.

On the other hand.

Luke got back into the car and asked his chauffeur to drive him to T Corporation.

He called Gale when he was on the way to the office.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Gale was up all night investigating, and he had just fallen asleep. When he received a call from Luke, he sounded a little confused.

"I need you to do something for me," said Luke, "I've already given the evidence to the police. They'll start investigating Matysh. Send someone to keep an eye on him. Don't give him a chance to leave the borders. Also, try to lead the police to look into Matysh's relationship with those men."

Luke was still worried about the police's efficiency. They were not like him. He knew who was behind this from the very beginning.

However, he could not tell the police officers that he suspected Matysh.

"Okay, Boss. I know what to do," replied Gale. He secretly mumbled that the police were truly slow in their progress.

They had just found a piece of new evidence. In reality, however, it had been in Luke's hand for a while.

It was handed to the police so that they could investigate Matysh.

"Get some rest." Luke hung up the call after that.

Gale was in a daze on the other end of the line. Did Luke just tell him to get some rest.

He immediately jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, looking for Rain. "Rain, Rain."

Rain walked out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in her hands. "What's the matter? You sound creepy. Didn't you tell me that you were going to bed?"

“I received a call from Boss a moment ago," Gale said excitedly.

“What mission did Boss assign to you?" Rain could not help but wonder if Gale had gone crazy from staying up all night when she saw him.

"Boss asked me to get some rest!" Gale thought saying it once was not enough. He repeated, "He actually asked me to get some rest!"

"Are you okay... Isn't that normal?" Rain could not understand why Gale was hyped up about it.

Gale noticed that Rain did not realize what he was talking about. Then, he asked in a serious tone, "Has Boss ever said something like that to us before?"

Rain frowned and pondered. When she thought about it.

No!

Luke only gave them instructions and assigned missions to them back then. He would also tell them to be careful when they were on missions, but he had never told them to get some rest before.

"Boss is a changed man," Rain could not help but mutter to herself when she realized that.

"Yes. I don't know why, but I feel like Boss has been kinder to us. Perhaps Ms. Craw's return has changed him," Gale assured.

"Ms. Craw is his wife, after all," replied Rain.

They recalled how bad-tempered Luke was those years when the imposter Bianca was around. Luke's face was gloomy all day.

At that time, they thought Luke behaved that way because the impostor was in bad condition. Now, they realized it was because the impostor was not the woman Luke loved. Even though the impostor was placed beside him, there was no way she could heal Luke's heart

Even though Luca could not tell anyone her true identity now, everyone could see Luke's changes.

His heart had been warmed.

Gale yawned and said, "Continue to ask our men to keep an eye on Matysh. You can't let your guard down. You have to keep watching over Leia too. Tell Hadley not to piss Leia off. It's troublesome to arrange for someone else to take the job."

Hadley was the caretaker who was sent to look after Leia.

“Okay. You should rest." Rain nodded. She took a sip of coffee and continued with her work.

T Corporation had been developing well these years. The company was getting bigger, and their job was not only to assist Luke in dealing with these trivial matters.

There was so much more Rain and Gale had to do.

One of them was intelligence gathering.

Rain received some information about Marcos' biological mother, but the information was scattered and messy. She needed to sort them out and look through them.

Gale turned around and headed upstairs. Rain walked into her office too.

They were people who never bothered with trivial matters in life. That was why Luke did not provide them with a proper office. He bought two side-by-side villas and provided them with accommodation as well as a place to work.

Rain and Gale enjoyed working in such an environment.

Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

The moment Luca arrived at the office, Mo Stone informed her that there was an urgent meeting she needed to attend.

Moreover, it was a video conference.

Luca walked toward the meeting room. A few professors were already sitting there, waiting for the meeting to start.

“Dr. Craw, you're here," Dr. Jackson smiled and greeted her when he saw her coming in. “I heard that you've been busy doing experiments in the laboratory. Are you preparing for the next research project?"

“Yes." Luca nodded. Even though the research she was doing now had nothing to do with the next research project, she could start the next project anytime now.

Shanks had given her two assignments when she left the Island of Despair.

The two research projects were prepared according to the procedures of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. They could bring great profits to the company. At the same time, it was good news for people who suffered from sickness in this world.

However, she had to focus on the antidote now.

Besides, Luca did not know if Abel would give her time to continue with the research.

“You've become successful at such a young age. We haven't finished our projects yet, and you're already preparing for your next project. How impressive." Dr. Jackson could not help but exclaim.

Dr. Jackson had been working in this industry for years. He had never seen anyone more efficient than Luca. At the same time, she also ensured the drug was safe and did what it was supposed to.

Luca was a talent in this industry.

“I'm flattered." Luca did not feel happy when someone complimented her.

It was all Shanks' credit. Shanks was the one who was successful at such a young age. He was talented too.

If Luca could turn back time, she would rather not have all this knowledge.

She would give anything to not ever have been trapped on the Island of Despair. That way, she would not have been treated by Abel either.

Dr. Linwood, who sat beside Dr. Jackson, could not help but agree. “Yes, Dr. Craw. The company made the right choice to hire a person like you."

The company had made a handsome profit even though it was established just less than a year ago.

There were very few companies that could achieve such an achievement.

Developing drugs was a long process. Many pharmaceutical companies would not make any profits in their first year, and some did not see profits even after two to three years.

Luca was rendered speechless by their compliments. She had no choice but to change the subject of the conversation, “Professors, do you know what's the agenda today?"

"Ms. Stone informed me that there was an urgent meeting when I arrived here. I don't know about the details either. Besides, there's no meeting agenda distributed to us..." Dr. Jackson shook his head. The company would usually distribute the meeting agenda to them in advance. It was to let those who were attending the meeting know what they would be discussing.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2636-Dr. Linwood glanced at the time. It was already time.

However, the meeting had yet to start. Mr. Whitlock was nowhere to be seen either. “Oh, where's Mr. Whitlock?"

"Yes. We're having a meeting. Isn't Mr. Whitlock coming?" Dr. Jackson found it odd too. He happened to see Mo Stone pushing the food trolley into the room to pour some coffee for everyone. He asked, "Ms. Stone, where's Mr. Whitlock?"

"Dr. Jackson, I'm not sure where Mr. Whitlock is." Mo Stone shook her head and served everyone a cup of coffee.

"Wasn't it Mr. Whitlock who asked us to attend the meeting?" Dr. Jackson asked with curiosity.

"No. It was Mr. Crawford who informed me about the meeting. He didn't ask me to inform Mr. Whitlock to come for the meeting," replied Mo Stone. She was only following Luke's instructions and doing her job.

"I see. That's weird." The big screen lit up as soon as Dr. Jackson finished his sentence.

"The meeting is about to start," said Mo Stone. She quickly handed the coffee to all the professors in the meeting room and left with the food trolley.

Mo Stone was not informed to attend the meeting, and she did not receive any instructions to prepare the meeting agenda in advance. Only the professors were asked to attend the meeting, so she should not be there.

The door was closed. Luke's face appeared on the big screen.

Luca's heart skipped a beat.

Even though they had just parted this morning, she could still feel her heart fluttering when she saw him.

"Good morning, professors." Luke's voice slowly came from the speakers.

His deep, rich voice came into Luca's ears. She slightly clenched her fists. Her heart pounded faster uncontrollably.

"Good morning, Mr. Crawford." The professors in the meeting expressed their respect to Luke and greeted him.

"Today, I gathered everyone here to attend a short meeting. It's about Watson Biopharmaceuticals' general manager. Based on our investigation, we found out that Mr. Whitlock is a corporate spy sent by Pierre Mallory. He has been fired by the company. Contact me in private if anyone here has revealed our company's classified research projects to him. This concerns every professor's research findings. I hope everyone can take this seriously," Luke announced the matter expressionlessly.

Luca looked down. The corner of her lips slightly curled up.

Luke did listen to what she said. Otherwise, he would not have fired the general manager after Pierre got into trouble.

Dr. Jackson's expression turned serious without him noticing it. “Mr. Crawford, what are you going to do to Mr. Whitlock?”

“I've already sent him to the police station. I'm not going to look into the professors and researchers who have already revealed any confidential information to him. But I don't want to see anything like this happen again in the future,” answered Luke. He had already asked Jason to call the police.

The reason why he did not call the police himself was that he did not have to deal with such matters himself.

Also, if Luke was the one who called the police, the police officers might misunderstand him.

There was dead silence in the meeting room.

Luca briefly knew what the situation was now. After all, Mr. Whitlock had the right to manage the funds for their research projects. That was why there were a few professors among them who were close to Mr. Whitlock.

Even if the professors did not reveal the information, the researchers might have told him about it.

Luca realized that Pierre might have found out about all their research.

However, it was not too late yet. Pierre was running away from the police and the authorities. He was too busy to plot something evil.

Luke continued, “There's one more thing. Our company will be holding a team-building event this Friday. It's a celebration party for Dr. Craw's successful drug launch."

Luca suddenly lifted her head when her name was mentioned.

A party?

Luca had no idea why Luke would do such a thing. She suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her scalp at the thought of being surrounded by everyone in the company.

“Sure. We got it," Dr. Jackson took the initiative to reply to him.

“That's all for today." Luke ended the video conference after that.

Luca was the first to rise to her feet.

Dr. Jackson called, “Dr. Craw."

“Yes, Dr. Jackson?" Luca turned around and looked at him.

Dr. Jackson asked, “Mr. Whitlock had asked you for some information back then. You didn't give it to him, right?"

“No," replied Luca. “Previously, Mr. Whitlock even asked Mr. Link to give him the information. He didn't reveal anything to him either. I've reminded everyone in my team not to do so." “That's great." Dr. Jackson nodded. Mr. Whitlock had tried to take a hard line on Luca previously, forcing her to give him the information.

Luca appeared to be reluctant to give him, but Dr. Jackson was worried that Luca had given it to him on a separate occasion.

He did not expect her to be so determined.

Did she know that there was something wrong with Mr. Whitlock from the very beginning?

Dr. Jackson turned to look at other professors. He was sitting in the team leader's position at the moment. Hence, there were things he needed to say. “Fellow professors, you all heard what Mr. Crawford said. Please get to the bottom of this. Remember to report to Mr. Crawford if you've encountered anything that was mentioned."

"Yes. Dr. Jackson is right. Mr. Crawford said that he wouldn't look into it this time. Besides, no one knew Mr. Whitlock was a corporate spy. It's understandable. Remember to explain Mr. Crawford," added Dr. Linwood.

"Got it," replied the professors.

Luca's gaze swept across the expressions on their faces. There were different expressions on their faces.

It seemed like Mr. Whitlock had secretly bribed some of the professors. However, it had not been long since Dr. Albus' case. Luca reckoned that the professors would not have disclosed all the confidential information to Mr. Whitlock.

They might have revealed some of it, but it would not be too big of a problem.

After Luca left the meeting room, she returned to her office. She asked Rhett to inform all the researchers to come into her office.

Her office was big, but it looked a little crowded when all the researchers, including Rhett, were in her office.

"Dr. Craw, everyone's here," said Rhett as he checked if everyone was present.

Luca looked up and went straight to the point, "I attended a short meeting just now, and I need to tell everyone about what I heard. First, Mr. Crawford has already confirmed that Mr. Whitlock was a corporate spy. Has anyone ever revealed our research data to him?"

"No," replied the researchers.

Luca added, "Mr. Crawford said that he wouldn't hold anyone accountable even if someone has revealed any information to Mr. Whitlock. After all, no one knew that Mr. Whitlock was a corporate spy, but you must be honest and tell us if you've ever given him any information."

"Dr. Craw, Mr. Whitlock has never personally talked to me," said one of the researchers.

"Same here," added the other researchers.

Rhett slowly spoke, "Mr. Whitlock talked to me before, but I reported to you about it. I didn't give him any information either."

"Alright. Good job." Luca nodded. She knew the researchers would not disobey her if she told them not to do something.

"Secondly, our company will be holding a team-building event this Friday. The venue isn't confirmed yet, but it's mainly to throw a celebration party for our research team. Be sure to watch out for the company's announcement when the time comes," added Luca.

There was excitement in everyone's eyes when they heard that there would be a team-building event.

Luca waved her hand and said, "I'll leave you to your work if there's nothing else."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2637-"Yes." Rhett and the researchers left the office together.

Rhett did not return to the laboratory. He returned to his office instead.

Mo Stone noticed a group of people walking into Luca's office a moment ago. She could not help but ask with curiosity, "Mr. Link, what happened? Why did Dr. Craw and the other professors gather all their researchers and assistants in their respective offices?"

Luca was not the only one who did that in the whole building. That was why Mo Stone was curious about it.

"Do you know about Mr. Whitlock being a corporate spy?" asked Rhett. There was no need to conceal the matter. The company would announce it when the time came.

"He was a corporate spy?" Mo Stone widened her eyes. She never thought about it.

"Yes. Mr. Crawford told the professors. That's why the professors gathered their researchers and assistants to ask them whether or not they've ever revealed confidential information to Mr. Whitlock," added Rhett.

"That's scary. The company has just started, and there was already a corporate spy among us." Mo Stone adjusted her spectacles. She thought only big pharmaceutical companies had some espionage going on.

She did not expect a corporate spy to be sent here to steal classified information from a company that was only established less than a year ago.

Still, the company's director was Luke Crawford.

It was an industry Luke had just gotten into. Even though it was still a small company, Luke was at the peak of his career now. He made a huge profit no matter what he invested in. There was no doubt that people would be green with envy.

"Yes. No one would have thought that either," said Rhett.

He did not think there was anything wrong with it when Mr. Whitlock asked for the research data from Luca.

After all, Mr. Whitlock was the company's leader. It was understandable that he was concerned with such matters.

Luca did not give him the information he requested at that time. Rhett could not understand why Luca was reluctant to do so. After that, Rhett started to know something was off when Mr. Whitlock urged Luca to hand in the data to him again and again.

Now that everything had come to light, Rhett thought it was fortunate that Luca had been careful at that time.

“So, your team..." Mo Stone looked at him.

“No one in our team has revealed anything." Rhett shook his head.

"Didn't Mr. Whitlock personally talk to you before?" Mo Stone remembered that Mr. Whitlock had personally come down to look for Rhett at that time.

"Yes, but I didn't tell him anything." Rhett was being magnanimous. He told Luca about it before. That was why he was not afraid now. "Dr. Craw instructed us not to reveal the information to anyone. That's why we didn't hand in the document to him."

"Dr. Craw has some extraordinary sense," exclaimed Mo Stone. She would be in big trouble if she gave him the information.

Mo Stone asked another question with curiosity, "What does Mr. Crawford plan to do to those people who have revealed confidential information?"

"He might take urgent measures, but they won't be held accountable for this as they didn't know that Mr. Whitlock was a corporate spy. Mr. Crawford told us that he wouldn't punish us because of this, but nothing like this should ever happen again," answered Rhett. Even though the research data was classified, the company's rules did not mention that no sharing was allowed between colleagues who worked in the same company.

"That's fine, then," muttered Mo Stone. Previously, Mr. Whitlock had told everyone that he had the right to manage the research funds distributed to every research team, hinting to the professors that they needed to build a good relationship with him.

At that time, some of the professors were close to Mr. Whitlock. Luca was the only one who dared to reject Mr. Whitlock's request in front of the others.

Many thought that pissing Mr. Whitlock off would end badly for them.

Everyone in the company was talking about it when Luca rejected him.

What they talked about the most was that Luca had Luke's support, which was why she was not afraid of Mr. Whitlock.

Who would have expected things to turn out this way?

No matter whether Luca had anyone supporting her or not, she saved the company a lot of trouble when she rejected Mr. Whitlock's requests back then.

"You didn't disclose any information to him, right?" Rhett suddenly thought that Mo Stone would sometimes come into contact with the team's research documents.

"What could I have revealed to him? You also know that ever since Dr. Albus' incident, every professor has made sure that they kept their research documents well. They would even ask their assistants to photocopy the documents themselves. They hardly asked for my help. I'm only responsible for doing odds and ends for them. I don't even have the chance to look at those documents." What Mo Stone said was true.

Now, when she was asked to photocopy some documents, the documents were mostly about administrative information. She was not able to come into contact with those research data. Mr. Whitlock knew about it. That was why he never tried to win her over.

"Oh yes, I heard that the company will be holding a celebration party. It's for your team," added Mo Stone.

“Yes, Dr. Craw mentioned to us." Rhett nodded. He was not really interested in the celebration party.

It was Luca's credit, after all. She was the one who led the team and successfully developed the drug.

"Alright. I should leave first," said Mo Stone. The administrative department would help plan the celebration party. She had to confirm the number of employees who would be attending the party and hand in the name list to the administrative department.

Rhett picked up the power bank on his office desk and charged his phone. When he saw how busy Mo Stone was dealing with the trivial matters of the administrative department, he was glad that he chose to follow Luca.

The reason he chose to follow Luca was simple too.

Luca was the youngest and the most inexperienced among the professors. That was why she was less demanding, and she would not have high expectations of her assistant.

There was a high chance that an inexperienced assistant like him would become her research assistant.

Now, it seemed like he had made the right choice.

In the office...

Luca took out the two antidote samples and carefully placed them in the test tube rack. Then, she walked out of her office and headed to the laboratory.

"Dr. Craw." Rhett noticed that Luca was heading to the laboratory. He quickly kept pace with her.

"Yes." Luca headed straight. She stood in front of the laboratory entrance and swiped her access card.

"Are you continuing with the experiment?" Rhett noticed that Luca was holding a test tube rack, and there were test tubes in it.

One of them contained Amur's blood.

"Yes." Luca walked toward the seat she usually sat in.

"Let me help you," Rhett suggested. Luca's hand was injured. It was inconvenient for her to do such a fiddly job.

"Sure. Thank you." Luca did not reject him. It could save her a lot of trouble if someone was willing to help her.

Rhett sat in front of the experiment table. He completed every step according to Luca's instructions.

After that, they only had to wait for the analyzed result of the equipment.

"Dr. Craw, is that all?" Rhett asked.

"Yes." Luca nodded. "Mr. Link, please deliver the report to my office when it's out later."

"Okay, no problem." Rhett nodded. Even though he had no idea what Luca was working on, he would do everything she instructed him to.

Luca walked out of the laboratory.

She returned to her office. When she was about to pick up some research papers and read them, her phone suddenly rang.

Luca picked up her phone and saw an unknown number from the same city calling her. It was a landline number.

"Hello?" Luca answered the call while she secretly wondered who it could be.

“Ms. Luca, it's me." Tommy's voice came from the other end of the line.

“Tommy?" Luca was surprised. Was Tommy not in school now?

"Ms. Luca, can you come to school now?" Tommy hesitated for a few seconds and asked.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2638-Tommy was Luca's child. She knew what it meant when she heard that.

Luca noticed the hesitancy in his voice. She could not help but keep a straight face. “Did you get yourself into trouble?"

"I didn't..." Tommy sounded a little upset. He did not want to make this call, but the teacher insisted on asking his guardian to come to school.

If Tommy asked his father to come to school, it was inevitable that he would be lectured when he went back home.

Besides, his father was busy with work.

Hence, Tommy discussed it with his teacher. His teacher knew who his father was too. Thus, the teacher agreed that it would be fine as long as it was his guardian.

Tommy dared not to look for his great-grandpa either. He had no choice but to call her.

After all, Luca was his mother!

"Tell your teacher that I'll be there in 30 minutes." Luca glanced at the time and assumed that it would take 20 minutes for her to reach Tommy's school.

"Okay, Ms. Luca. I'll be waiting for you." Something crossed Tommy's mind as he added, "Oh, Ms. Luca, don't tell Daddy."

Tommy was afraid of getting lectured.

"Let me see what's going on at school first." Luca did not promise him.

Even though Tommy was her son, Luca's identity was not Bianca now.

If Tommy did something wrong, she would still have to lecture him.

It was just that she was in no position to do that now. Luke had to be the one educating and lecturing the kids. That was why Luca did not agree to Tommy's request.

"Alright. I'll be waiting for you." Tommy hung up the call.

Luca gave Warren a call.

"Ms. Craw, I'm at the parking lot. If you need me to drive you somewhere else, just come down." Warren did not wait for Luca to speak and went straight to the point.

Luca was startled for a moment. "Okay, I'm coming down now."

After that, Luca took off her lab coat, put on her winter coat, and left the office.

Luca did not know how long she would take. Hence, she walked into the assistant's office and said, “Ms. Stone, I'd like to take some time off."

"Sure, Dr. Craw. How long?" Mo Stone took the leave slip out.

"Just one morning. Let me sign it. Please help me write down that I'm applying for a personal leave," answered Luca as she wrote down her name on the leave slip. Then, she turned around and left.

Mo Stone looked at Luca's leave slip and shook her head. She immediately wrote down the reason Luca took the leave—'temporarily away.'

After she filled in the time, she kept the slip in the file. She would have to wait until the end of the month before handing it to the HR department.

Luca went into the elevator and came to the basement parking lot. Warren was waiting beside the car. He opened the car door when he saw her walking toward him and let her get into the car.

Luca bent down and got into the car. Then, she said to Warren, "Head to Tommy's school."

"Okay, Ms. Luca." Warren fastened his seatbelt and headed straight to the school.

"Anyway, have you been here the whole while?" Luca asked.

"Yes. I'm your chauffeur now. Ms. Rain didn't assign me other jobs either. My job is to stay put and send you to your destination at any time," answered Warren. He dared not to leave the spot as he was worried that such situations would occur when Luca was at work. Sometimes, he would go farther away, but he would come back within five minutes.

Moreover, what Luca did not know was that Luke had even set up an office for Warren in Watson Biopharmaceuticals. It was for Luca's convenience whenever she needed to head somewhere else. Hence, it was also convenient for Warren.

"I hope Matysh's matter can be settled soon..." Luca mumbled to herself. She had brought a lot of trouble to the people around her because of it.

Once the matter was settled, they would not be so busy dealing with it anymore.

Warren knew what Luca had in mind. He deliberately changed the subject of the conversation. "Ms. Luca, why are you suddenly heading to Young Master Tommy's school? Is he in trouble?"

"I'm not sure either. Tommy told me that his teacher would like to meet his guardian. He dares not disturb Mr. Crawford. That's why he called me," answered Luca.

"Even though Young Master Tommy is a little naughty, he seldom causes any trouble," said Warren.

"Let's see what the teacher says. It's normal for kids to have disagreements and fight with each other." Luca smiled. Although Tommy was active and playful, he knew he should not cause any trouble.

There must be a misunderstanding.

The car drew to a halt as they arrived at Tommy's school.

Luca told the security guard standing at the entrance her identity. Then, the guard led her toward the teacher's office.

Luca was glad that she had seen what class Tommy was in when she was looking through Tommy's homework.

Otherwise, she would not have known how to answer the guard when he asked her some questions.

"Miss, here's Mrs. Tuffey's office," said the guard.

Mrs. Tuffey was Tommy's homeroom teacher.

“Okay. Thank you." Luca pushed the office door open. Mrs. Tuffey and another parent were there.

“You're..." Mrs. Tuffey could not help but ask with confusion when she saw Luca.

"Hello, Mrs. Tuffey. I'm Tommy's relative. His father couldn't make it. That's why I'm here." As Luca walked into the office, she noticed the annoyed expression on the parent's face.

It seemed like Tommy had fought with that person's child.

Luca frowned slightly. She knew this would be difficult to deal with just by looking at the expression on the parent's face.

“Oh, you're Tommy's guardian. Please take a seat." Mrs. Tuffey pointed at another chair that was a distance away from where the other parent was seated.

She was probably worried that they might argue with each other.

“Alright. Thank you." Luca thanked her and sat up straight in the chair.

Mrs. Tuffey asked with curiosity, “I've never seen you before. You're Tommy's.."

“Aunt." Luca made up an excuse.

"Oh, I see. You're his aunt. Here's the thing, the reason why I asked you to come today is that Tommy and Charlie fought with each other during class. Charlie knocked his forehead on the desk when Tommy pushed him," explained Mrs. Tuffey.

“Is the child seriously injured?" Luca asked.

“No. The school nurse examined him and said that it was just a graze."

Mrs. Hudson yelped immediately after Mrs. Tuffey said that. “What do you mean by it's not serious? Mrs. Tuffey, you can't say something like that. He was bleeding! Besides, the school nurse said that it might affect his brain. Isn't that serious enough?"

Mrs. Tuffey explained to her patiently, “Madam, the school nurse said that it'd take a few days for the wound to heal. As for whether or not Charlie's brain is injured, isn't Charlie in the hospital having a medical examination now? Let's wait until the test results are out and we'll discuss this."

“Charlie is in the hospital now. I think that this is all very fishy. Do you know each other? Are both of you, by any chance, related? Why are you taking her side?" Mrs. Hudson had a loud voice. Her saliva sprayed out as she talked.

Luca frowned and said, “Mrs. Tuffey, is it really Tommy who hurt him?"

Before Mrs. Tuffey could say anything, Mrs. Hudson piped in, "If it wasn't your child, then who could have hurt Charlie? You're responsible for this. The child is already doing such terrible things at such a young age. He might grow up a murderer or a criminal. I don't care. Charlie is still in the hospital now. We're waiting for you to pay for Charlie's medical examination. You have to compensate for his injury."

"I believe the child would never hurt anyone," Luca spoke in a serious tone when Mrs. Hudson acted like an unreasonable shrew. She turned to look at Mrs. Tuffey. "Mrs. Tuffey, are there any surveillance cameras at the scene?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2639-Mrs. Tuffey shook her head and apologized. “The surveillance cameras stopped working yesterday. That’s why there’s no recorded footage of what happened in the classroom."

"My child has never lied to anyone before. He said it was Tommy who pushed him. His statement is the best evidence," yelled Mrs. Hudson.

Luca ignored her and questioned Mrs. Tuffey, "Mrs. Tuffey, did you ask the other kids?"

"They're still having class now," replied Mrs. Tuffey. The incident happened during recess. The kids were having class now.

Mrs. Tuffey thought of making the decision after the two child’s guardians communicated with each other.

"Mrs. Hudson chooses to believe her child, and I believe Tommy isn’t a child who’d hurt others. Mrs. Tuffey, I’d like to talk to Tommy." Luca made a request. Now, the only way was to ask Tommy what had happened. Only then would she find out the truth.

"Let me bring Tommy here. Please wait for a while." Mrs. Tuffey rose to her feet and marched out of the office.

Mrs. Hudson sneered at Luca and went outside to make a call, asking how her child was doing in the hospital.

Tommy was brought to the office by Mrs. Tuffey. He stepped forward and hugged Luca’s waist with an aggrieved expression on his face when he saw Luca. "Ms. Luca, I didn’t push him."

Mrs. Tuffey was surprised when she heard that. ‘Ms. Luca?

‘Isn’t she Tommy’s aunt?’novelbin

"I know. You’d never do something like that." Luca stroked the child’s face. The aggrieved look on his face broke her heart.

As a parent, who would be willing to see their child be wronged?

"I'm glad that you believe me." Tommy's eyes shimmered in the light as tears welled up in his eyes. When Mrs. Tuffey asked Tommy what happened just now, no matter what Tommy said, Mrs. Tuffey had this incredulous look on her face.

Tommy felt deeply wronged.

"Then can you tell me what really happened?" Luca wanted a blow-by-blow account of what happened.

Tommy sniffed and repeated what he had told Mrs. Tuffey before in front of Luca. “When we were having a break, Charlie was bullying my classmate, Ashley. He was trying to lift her skirt. As a man, I stood in front of Ashley to protect her. Charlie backed away and lost his balance. Then, he tripped over the foot of the desk and knocked his head on the desk."

Luca raised her brows and turned to look at Mrs. Tuffey.

Mrs. Tuffey cleared her throat and said, "Tommy said the same thing to me just now. Charlie knocked his head on the desk after he tripped."

Mrs. Hudson pushed the door open and came in with the phone in her hands. "Nonsense. If you didn't push Charlie, how could he have fallen?"

Tommy drew his neck back and leaned closer to Luca, but he mustered his courage to speak up for himself, "I didn't push him. Charlie was doing something bad. He was afraid. That's why he stepped backward without noticing and fell."

"I didn't expect a young child like you to lie to others to cover up your mistake. Mrs. Tuffey, is this how you teach your students?!" Mrs. Hudson refused to budge an inch. Before Mrs. Tuffey could say anything, Mrs. Hudson turned to look at Luca. "It was your child who pushed Charlie. You should be the one paying for Charlie's medical expenses no matter what. Transfer the money to my bank account. Charlie is still in the hospital, waiting for his medical expenses to be paid!"

Luca frowned.

The school Tommy attended was an elite school. She did not expect the parents to behave this way.

The students who attended the school were from wealthy and respectable families. Most of them were well-educated. Even if one was not well-educated, that person would act like it to avoid losing face in front of others.

They would not act like Mrs. Hudson.

Luca held the child in her arms and said, "If it was Tommy who pushed Charlie, I'd be willing to pay for your child's medical expenses. I'd also compensate for moral damages. But what if it wasn't Tommy?"

"Hah, nice try. Don't try to deny it. I'm sure it was Tommy who did it. Why? You're not willing to pay for it?" Mrs. Hudson rested her hands on her hips, acting like a shrew.

"Madam, calm down. What matters the most now is Charlie taking the medical examination. Why don't you tell the hospital to check on him first?" Mrs. Tuffey wondered if Mrs. Hudson was doing it for Charlie's sake or if it was for the money.

Was money more important than her child's life?

"Shut up. I'm not going to pay for the medical expenses. If I pay for it, won't I be the ridiculous one?" Mrs. Hudson glowered at her.

Luca took her phone out, pressed the audio recording button, and placed it on the coffee table.

"How about this? I can pay for the medical expenses first, but let the students tell us what the situation was at that time after their class. If it was really Tommy who did it, I'll apologize and compensate for the accident no matter how much you want. But if it wasn't Tommy's fault, then you'll have to apologize to him instead. You'll also have to admit that you've failed to educate your son. What do you think? I've recorded our conversation down. If you agree to it, I'll transfer the money to you now."

Mrs. Hudson widened her eyes and replied, "What makes you think that you can make me apologize?

And you want me to admit that I failed to educate my child?"

"It all happened because Charlie wanted to lift a girl's skirt. Tommy did it out of the protectiveness he had for his friends. That's why he stood in front of her to protect her. The kids are at the age where they've learned about gender differences. Yet your child is still lifting a girl's skirt. Isn't that a sign that his parents have failed to educate him about gender differences?" Luca was clear and logical.

Tommy stood beside her, nodding his head.

When Tommy was young, his great-grandpa taught him that he should not bully girls and he should not lift a girl's skirt either. As a man, they should be protecting girls.

That was why Tommy stood in front of Ashley when he saw her being bullied. He wanted to stop Charlie from causing trouble.

Mrs. Hudson's cheeks were flamed with anger. There was no doubt that Luca was mocking her for failing to educate her child.

No matter whether or not it was really Tommy who pushed Charlie, it was undeniable that Charlie had tried to lift a girl's skirt. It was the parents' fault for failing to educate the child.

“The kids were just fighting with each other. How did it become my fault? Don't even think about it. It's Tommy who hurt someone this time. Pay me now!”

"Kids fighting with each other? Even Tommy knows about gender differences, and he also knows that boys shouldn't lift a girl's skirt. But your child..." Luca paused for a moment and stroked Tommy's head. "Madam, I'll protect Tommy. If you claim that Tommy's the one who hurt Charlie again but someone proves that it's not the case, I'll be suing you for defamation."

Luca was not someone to be messed with. She needed to protect Tommy.

The expression on Mrs. Hudson's face changed.

Mrs. Tuffey did not expect Luca to be so tough even though she looked gentle.

"There are five more minutes until class ends." Luca glanced at the time when none of them spoke. "Well, let's see what their classmates say after class. If it was really Tommy who pushed Charlie, regardless of why Charlie wanted to lift a girl's skirt at his age, I'll transfer the money to you for your child's treatment. But if it wasn't Tommy's fault, please apologize to him."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2640-“Why should I listen to you? I'm going to call the police if you don't transfer the money to me. I'll let the police officers arrest this little bastard." Mrs. Hudson was anxious.

Luca frowned and covered Tommy's ears.

"Madam, I'm recording our conversation. What you said is enough for me to look for a lawyer and file a complaint," warned Luca with a serious tone. Who could accept their child being called a little bastard when the child had done nothing wrong? novelbin

The look on Mrs. Hudson's face changed. However, she remembered that looking for a lawyer was something someone did just to threaten the other party. Oftentimes, they would just let the matter be. She replied boldly, "Go ahead and look for a lawyer, then. I'll call the police too."

"Fine. Go ahead. I believe in Tommy anyway. I'm sure he didn't do anything wrong." Luca had faith in him.

Tommy would not lie to her to evade responsibility.

Mrs. Tuffey could sense the tension in the air, and she immediately interrupted, "Mrs. Hudson, Ms. Luca, please calm down."

The school bell rang right after she said that.

Luca turned to look at Mrs. Tuffey and said, "Mrs. Tuffey, the class has ended. Please bring Ashley and the other classmates who witnessed the incident here. Let's see what really happened."

Mrs. Tuffey nodded. She had no choice but to ask the students to come here. Otherwise, this was never going to end.

"Mrs. Hudson, calm down. I'll go ask the kids to come in." Mrs. Tuffey hurried out of the office.

Mrs. Hudson sneered.

Luca let go of her hands that were covering Tommy's ears. Then, she said in a soft voice, "Come. Take a seat."

Tommy sat on the chair and stayed close to her.

After a while, Mrs. Tuffey and a few students came into the office. Mrs.Tuffey said, "This is Ashley. The others were seated near Tommy in the classroom. They saw what had happened. Ashley, go ahead."

Ashley glanced at Mrs. Hudson cowardly. Mrs. Hudson looked fierce. She took a step backward.

Luca noticed that Mrs. Hudson looked scary to the kids. Hence, she said in a gentle voice, "Ashley, don't be afraid. Tell us what happened."

Ashley turned to look at Luca and glanced at Tommy, who was beside her. She uttered her words slowly and told the truth, “During recess, Charlie tore my stickers, and he also tried to lift my skirt. I screamed and stepped back. Tommy happened to be walking into the classroom and saw what happened. He immediately stood in front of me and protected me. I don't know what happened to Charlie. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground. He hit his head on the edge of a desk."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Hudson immediately rose to her feet. She frowned and threw Ashley a hard look. "That's not what Charlie told me. Are you lying to us?"

Ashley took another step back and immediately shook her head. "I'm not lying. I saw everything. Charlie is always bullying the girls, but he's afraid of male students who are taller than him. That's why he got scared and backed away when Tommy stood in front of me to protect me. He tripped and fell. I saw that myself. Tommy didn't push Charlie."

"Yes, Mrs. Tuffey. We saw that too. There was a huge distance between Tommy and Charlie. Tommy didn't even touch him." A male student stepped out and spread his arms wide to show how far the distance between Tommy and Charlie was.

"Yes. Tommy didn't push anyone." The other students went along with him.

Ashley's voice was trembling when she spoke again, "Charlie lied. He was worried he would be in trouble. That's why he said Tommy pushed him."

"How do your parents educate you? You're telling lies at such a young age!" Mrs. Hudson read her the riot act.

Luca reminded her calmly, "Yes, kids wouldn't know how to lie if their parents had educated them well."

Mrs. Hudson's face reddened.

"Madam, is this how you educate your child? How could he tell lies?" questioned Luca.

"You b*tch. Believe it or not, I'll rip your lips off if you continue to talk nonsense." Mrs. Hudson's eyes were red as she was annoyed.

Luca saved the recorded conversation on her phone calmly. Then, she said to Mrs. Tuffey, "Mrs. Tuffey, since the students said that this has nothing to do with Tommy, he can go back to class and get ready to attend the next lesson, right?"

"Of course." Mrs. Tuffey nodded and said to the kids, "Back to class."

The kids immediately walked out of the office.

Luca stroked Tommy's face and said, "Off you go. Stay focused in class."

"Okay." Tommy nodded and exited the office.

There were three adults left in Mrs. Tuffey's office.

Luca looked at Mrs. Hudson and said, "Madam, I know you won't apologize to Tommy."

"Hmph." Mrs. Hudson sneered.

Mrs. Tuffey quickly smoothed things over and said, "Alright, Ms. Luca, Mrs. Hudson, since this is a misunderstanding, let's put this behind us and stop talking about it. Mrs. Hudson, Charlie is still in the hospital. It'd be best if you head to the hospital to take a look at him."

Mrs. Hudson did not expect her child to be accused of lying when she initially had the upper hand.

She picked up her bag and walked out of the office.

Luca noticed that Mrs. Hudson was carrying an Hermes bag.

She was someone who could afford to carry a designer bag, but she had such bad behavior. After Luca watched her leave, she turned to look at Mrs. Tuffey again.

Mrs. Tuffey apologized, “It happened so suddenly. I'm sorry for wasting your time."

“Mrs. Tuffey." Luca paused for a moment and continued, "I'd like you to do me a favor."

"I'll be glad to help." Mrs. Tuffey knew she was in the wrong too.

She did not ask the other students about the incident earlier due to the time and occasion, which caused Tommy to be wronged.

"I'd like to know about Mrs. Hudson's personal information. It doesn't have to be in detail. I only want to know her name and address," said Luca.

"Are you..." Mrs. Tuffey paused for a moment. Was Luca making a move?

If the principal found out that Mrs. Tuffey had failed to deal with the matter, it might make it hard for her to explain things to him.

"Don't worry. I'm not planning to do anything harmful to her. I'm taking legal action against her to make her take responsibility after refusing to apologize to Tommy," replied Luca calmly. She had the conversation recorded on her phone, and she was not afraid of losing.

Mrs. Tuffey smiled and said, "Ms. Luca, about this, Mrs. Hudson is indeed in the wrong. And I didn't handle it well. But there's no need to take legal action against her. You'll still have to meet her in the future. Falling out with each other might not be a good idea."

"Tommy will remember what she said to him a moment ago. A child's heart is fragile. Mrs. Tuffey, I need to do something for him. Otherwise, the child won't dare to stand up for what's right and will become an obsequious child. What should I do then?" asked Luca. She deliberately made it sound serious.

Even though it was unlikely that Tommy would be affected by the incident, it was something he would remember for the rest of his life.

"Kids remember everything now. How much impact will this incident have on him?" asked Luca.

“Well." Mrs. Tuffey frowned.
