Ch. 2801..2810
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2801-"Hi, Dr. Craw," Gale greeted her smilingly.
“Mr. Gale, am I interrupting?" Luca noticed that Gale had changed his hairstyle, and he was dressed differently too.
He looked like someone familiar. She would have thought that he was Marcos if she had not seen his face.
“No, I just came to my boss' office to have a seat. Gordan said that the sofa in his office is comfortable and perfect for lying down. He was right," Gale said laughingly.
Luke looked annoyed. It seemed that Gordan was a bad influence, so he should not let them get too close.
Luca glanced at Gale and Luke before placing the documents on the desk.
Luke said, “Don't go. I'll have a look right now."
He decided to pause the work at hand to read the documents Luca brought over.
“Okay." Luca nodded and sat on another sofa.
She would not have noticed if Gale had not mentioned it, but the sofa was actually pretty comfortable.
“So? It's comfy, right? My boss knows what's good," Gales whispered.
Luca laughed.
Gale changed the topic. “Dr. Craw, don't you think I look like someone else today?"
“You look like Mr. Marcos," Luca answered.
“Yup, I'm impersonating Mr. Marcos. What do you think? Do I look like him? I cut and dyed my hair yesterday." Gale showed off to her.
After Luke planned out the mission, he went to the top hair salon in A City for a hairdo.
“You look a lot like him. If it weren't for your facial features, I would've thought that you were him." Luca nodded. Then, she grew curious. “Why are you dressing up like him?"
“I... Mr. Crawford, can I tell her?" Gale asked Luke.
“She's one of us." Luke did not say much, but Gale understood what he meant.
He said, “Mr. Marcos is here to look for his family, but his family in Russia has been watching him, so I'm pretending to be him to distract them."
Luca understood what was going on.
Marcos must not let the people in Russia know about his search for his biological mother, or else, she would be in danger.
Gale disguising as Marcos would help divert their attention.
Even if someone were to follow Marcos, all they could do was wait by the road because not everyone was allowed to enter T Corporation. Thus, they would not be able to go up even if they walked into the building.
Having business to discuss with Luke was a good excuse, and with the help of Gale, Marcos could successfully find his biological mother.
“Mr. Gale, if you knew how to do prosthetic makeup, you might be able to do things in Mr. Marcos' place," Luca murmured. That way, others would not get the impression that Marcos was going to T
Corporation every single day.
After all, T Corporation and M Group's collaboration had already reached a mature stage.
The Russians would get suspicious if Marcos continued coming here...
Matysh was in prison right now. Though he was arrested for something that happened a few years ago, he was charged with another crime too.
If they investigated this new crime, they would find out that it had something to do with Luke.
"Prosthetic makeup? I don't know how to do it. Do you, Dr. Craw? If you do, you can teach me!" Gale asked smilingly as the Island of Despair did not teach anything like this.
After Luca mentioned it, he thought that perhaps the Island of Despair was teaching it now.
Gale assumed that she somewhat knew how to do it.
Luca shook her head. "I don't. I was just kidding. Isn't this common in films?"
She was not lying. She actually did not know how to do prosthetic makeup.
Back on the Island of Despair, there was someone who looked like they were from A City, but she was not sure if they were actually from here as everyone on the Island of Despair either spoke Russian or German.
That person spoke Russian fluently, and Luca had never heard him speak any other language. He even spoke German with a Russian accent.
He knew how to do prosthetic makeup.
Prosthetic makeup was like modern cosmetics and special effects makeup that was often seen on television to change the shape of a person's face.
It was similar to imitation makeup commonly seen on the internet where they would often use makeup to transform their appearance to look like someone else.
However, imitation makeup only looked good onscreen as the lighting softened its appearance. In reality, the makeup would look heavy and unnatural.
It was different with the person on the Island of Despair. Whoever he transformed, they would look natural enough to walk on the streets without anyone suspecting that it was a disguise.
That was the difference between prosthetics and imitation makeup.
Gale was disappointed to hear her say that. "I believe that there are still experts in prosthetic makeup out there. Dr. Craw, you'd better watch out. If an expert disguises themselves as Mr. Crawford, you must be able to notice the anomaly!"
"Pfft." Luca was amused by what he said. How many prosthetic makeup experts were there?
Although the person from the Island of Despair had top-notch skills, he was not perfect.
For instance, there were other factors like height, physique, and many more.
It might be easy to impersonate a fat person, but how would one impersonate a skinnier person?
The person from the Island of Despair may be an expert, but the most he could do was make one's face look thinner. There was no way he could change one's body shape.
Not to mention the height.
If someone wanted to impersonate someone just slightly taller or shorter than them, he could do so with insoles.
If someone wanted to imitate someone way taller or shorter than them, insoles would not cut it.
Therefore, prosthetic makeup was not always a sure thing.
However, if that person on the Island of Despair were to disguise Gale as Marcos, that would not be a problem.
Both of them had similar physiques. If he just fixed up Gale's face a little, he would definitely look like Marcos.
"Both of you sure do have a lot to talk about," said Luke. He was so bossy that he did not like Luca laughing at other men's jokes.
Even if that person was Gale, who had no interest in Luca.
After sensing Luke's jealousy, Gale instantly stood up and yawned. "I'm a little sleepy. Mr. Crawford, I'll go nap in the reception room. If anyone comes over later, tell Mr. Doyle not to let them into the reception room over there."
He immediately left after that without waiting for Luke to reply.
Men were not any less jealous than women, especially those who were as possessive as Luke.
Not to mention he was possessive over only one woman.
Gale did not think that it was a good idea to offend him, so he escaped.
He did not want Luke to send him on a mission somewhere far away once his business here was done.
Life here was good, and Gale did not want to suffer in remote mountainous areas.
Luca watched Gale flee from the CEO's office like a frightened rabbit before thinking about what Luke said just now.
A lot to talk about?
Did he think that Gale talked too much?
Was he jealous?
When Luca realized that he was jealous of Gale making her laugh, she immediately stopped smiling and put on a serious face.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2802-"What's with that look?" Luke closed the file and looked at her.
He skimmed through all the documents without looking at them carefully.
Luca was the one who sent them over, so there should not be a problem with them. As for the research funds, she could have as much as she wanted.
“Mr. Crawford, I thought you didn't like cheeky smiles?" Luca blinked. She knew that Luke would never be angry at her, but she said that on purpose to tease him.
Luke folded his hands together and rubbed his chin. Was she teasing him?
The audacity!
He liked that look on her. She was the woman he loved, so he liked any look on her face.
"I don't like it on others, but I like your cheeky smile," Luke teased her.
Bianca used to blush whenever she got teased, and it was the same for Luca now.
He watched Luca's face turn red instantly.
The smile on Luke's thin lips made her heart beat even faster. His serious face alone was enough to make her fall for him, but the addition of such flirty words made her heart beat uncontrollably fast.
"Ahem, Mr. Crawford. It's office hours." Luca looked away from him.
If she looked at him any longer, she would fall head over heels for him.
Luke pushed over the documents she brought over. "I've finished reading them."
"You're done?" Luca was surprised. How could he read through them in such a short time?
Even after she had been his wife for so many years, she did not know that he had the ability to read this fast. Was that all it took to read this stack of documents?
Luca found it unbelievable.
"I've already signed it, and I have no objections. You may proceed with your plan," said Luke.
Luca was still Bianca, even if she was being controlled by the Island of Despair. She was different from others.
Other research professors would apply for as much funds as possible, but Luca would not. Every grant report she made was done realistically.
Even if Watson was his company, Luca would not take advantage of that. novelbin
Whether she was Bianca or Luca, and no matter whose interests were involved, she would be sensible about it because she followed her conscience.
Luke believed that when she put the company in jeopardy, she did not do so on purpose.
Instead, it was the Island of Despair that was behind it.
It was not Luca's doing but theirs!
That was what Luke thought.
“The funding is approved?" Luca did not buy it. Did Luke actually trust her or was he biased?
If it were any other professor, Luke would keep the documents and have Watson's accountant examine each application before discussing with the professor on the final terms.
Whatever the final amount was, it would certainly not be the amount the professor applied for in the first place.
Of course, the amount would not be higher than before and only lesser.
"It's approved. It's reasonable." Luke nodded, even though he did not actually see if the amount was reasonable or not.
Luca did not ponder anymore whether it was trust or bias...
She and Rhett had already deliberated over the funds, so there would not be anything unreasonable in the report.
Luca stood up while hugging the documents in her arms. "Thank you, Mr. Crawford. I'll be heading back to Watson, then."
"Alright, I'll be home later tonight, so don't wait up for me to eat dinner," said Luke. Pierre's situation had been resolved, so Percy was buying drinks tonight.
"Sure." Luca blushed again.
Their conversation made them sound like an old couple.
She was Luke's wife of many years anyway. She just looked different. but it was still her.
After Luca left T Corporation, she received a call from Johann.
"Dr. Park, what's wrong?" Luca answered, worried that something had happened to Wanda.
The Normans had been discharged, so it must be about Wanda.
"I'm calling to inform you that Dr. Willa will be operating on Wanda at 8:30 tomorrow morning," Johann informed.
Although he was knowledgeable about gynecology, he would not be participating in this operation.
In terms of professionalism, Dr. Willa and her team were much better.
Therefore, he handed over Wanda's operation to a professional team.
"Got it, I'll be there tonight and tomorrow morning. Thank you for taking care of Ms. Rayne, Dr. Park." Luca got worried after hearing about Wanda's operation.
Wanda had been undergoing chemotherapy, so the lesion had been under control and shrinking. However, chemotherapy alone could not kill all the cancer cells.
Luca thought that it would be much better to do the surgery first before chemotherapy.
However, Dr. Willa did not have enough time to perform the surgery on Wanda, and Wanda's body could not take it anymore. Thus, Johann prescribed a chemotherapy course.
Although Luca did not express her worries, Johann could sense it.
He said, “Dr. Willa is very professional. She has analyzed Wanda's case in the pre-operative assessment just now, and she's confident in eliminating all the cancer cells in her body. During this time, you can go visit her with Luke. You can also go over tonight to give her some confidence. The doctor's job is to cure the disease, but if the patient is confident, it'll help her recover."
"Alright, I know what to do," said Luca.
She had to think of a way to convince Wanda that everything would turn out fine so that she could relax and face tomorrow's surgery.
All of this was very important.
If Wanda was confident, it would be good for her recovery.
After the call, Luca sent a message to Luke, telling him that Wanda's surgery was tomorrow. She also said that she would go over there tonight and wait by the operating room tomorrow morning.
Luke: [I'll go with you tomorrow.]
There would always be family members waiting outside the operating rooms.
Old Man Rayne would not be there because he was not aware that Wanda was not actually traveling but was sick and hospitalized.
Bianca...
She was Bianca. Although she could not reveal her identity, she was willing to wait for good news outside the operating room.
Wanda still had Luke.
Luke being there was a given.
After Warren sent Luca back to Watson, Rhett was surprised to see her come back with a bunch of documents in her arms.
"Dr. Craw, was Mr. Crawford not there?" Rhett was curious as Luca came back so soon with all the documents.
Luca knew why he said that. Even if it took less than an hour to read the documents, it would still take some time.
However, she was only in Luke's office for ten minutes.
"Mr. Crawford has signed off on the project proposal. Come into my office for a while," said Luca as she walked into her office.
Rhett pricked up his ears. Mr. Crawford had signed off on it?
Did Luke even read through it?
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2803-Rhett would not dare to ask such questions. Therefore, he quickened his pace and caught up with Luca.
Luca walked into the office and sat on the chair. She opened the documents and assigned tasks to Rhett.
"Please deliver these to the Finance Department. Mr. Crawford has already signed and approved them. The funds will be approved by them. As for these two, please hand them over to the Procurement Department. We'll need some new equipment for our new research. Mr. Crawford has also approved it," Luca spoke non-stop. She knew that Luke had approved everything. It was unlikely that the other departments would disagree with it.
Rhett nodded silently as he glanced at the documents.
He also had a part in handling these documents. Hence, he easily remembered what Luca said.
After Luca gave her instructions, she added, "I need to leave early today, and I'm probably not coming tomorrow. Please help me to request a day off."
Luca planned to go back to the villa now and cook a meal for Wanda.
Wanda would be having surgery tomorrow. She probably would not have much of an appetite for a few days.
Luca wanted to prepare Wanda's favorite food before she lost her appetite.
She was worried that she would not be able to deliver the meal to Wanda on time if she went home later. After all, fasting was required before the surgery.
"Okay." Rhett noticed that Luca did not look so good. Something must have happened. Hence, he made a mental note of everything.
After Rhett carried the documents and left, Luca packed up her things and left the building.
She had already informed Warren. Therefore, she headed to the entrance and got into the car.
Luca first went to the supermarket.
She needed to buy ingredients to prepare Wanda's favorite food as the ingredients needed might not be in the fridge.
Luca quickly made her purchases. Aunt Neile was surprised after Luca returned to the villa. "Ms. Craw, why are you so early today?"
It was not even five o'clock in the evening yet.
"Well, I bought some ingredients. I'm planning to cook a meal and take it to the hospital," answered Luca.
"Alright." Aunt Neile's mind went blank for a moment.
Aunt Neile followed Luca into the kitchen and asked, “Ms. Craw, should I prepare tonight’s dinner, then?”
She knew that Luke was not coming back for dinner.
Now that Luca was going to prepare dinner, did she need to prepare dinner as well?
"No, Aunt Neile. I'll take care of it myself. You may get off work," replied Luca. She did not need Aunt Neile to prepare dinner, so she planned to let her leave early.
Aunt Neile was happy to be able to leave work early, but she felt a bit guilty for leaving Luca alone to prepare dinner alone when she saw how many ingredients Luca had brought home.
"Ms. Craw, let me help you. The two of us can get things done faster," said Aunt Neile. It was not time to prepare dinner yet, but Luca wanted to start now, which meant that she wanted to prepare it early.
Aunt Neile’s cooking skills were incomparable to Luca’s, so Luca was the one taking charge while Aunt Neile would only assist her.
"Alright. Thank you, Aunt Neile," said Luca. There was no need to rush since Aunt Neile was willing to assist her.
Luca thought that it would take quite some time if she prepared everything by herself.
Two hours later, Luca finally finished preparing a table full of dishes.
The meal prepared was sumptuous. It had a wonderful mix of fish, meat, and a delectable soup to top it off!
Aunt Neile could not help but exclaim, "Ms. Craw, are you expecting guests for dinner at home?" If that was the case, she could not just leave.
The maid was not there to attend to the guests when there were guests coming to their house. That would not make any sense at all.
"No, I'm preparing them for a patient." Luca shook her head.
"A patient? Can the patient finish all these?" Aunt Neile clicked her tongue. There was no way the whole family could finish all the dishes prepared even if Luca joined dinner, not to mention just one patient!
"Well, she can't finish them all. I'm not sure what she likes to eat, so I prepared some extra dishes. I'll wrap some of each dish and take it to the hospital. Aunt Neile, your family hasn't prepared dinner yet, right? Take some and bring them home for dinner later," said Luca as she took out two lunch boxes.
Even if she filled the two lunch boxes, there would still be a lot left due to the large potion.
Aunt Neile shook her head and said, "It’s okay. Both you and Mr. Crawford have to eat dinner too."
"I'll just have some of the barbecue ribs. Mr. Crawford won't be coming home for dinner tonight, so we can just save some soup for him. As for the rest, they won't taste good if we put them in the refrigerator and leave them until tomorrow. Besides, you'll end up eating it for lunch tomorrow anyway if we leave the leftovers in the fridge. It's better to eat the food while it's still fresh. Anyway, you’ve got quite a large family in your house. These will be enough for everyone," replied Luca. She initially did not think about Aunt Neile when she bought so many ingredients and prepared so many dishes.
Luca only wanted to prepare dishes that Wanda liked.
She only realized that she had prepared too much after that. It would be a waste not to finish them all. That was why she asked Aunt Neile to take some home.
“Thank you, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile thought what Luca said made sense.
"I'm going to the hospital now. Just pack the food and go home," replied Luca. She put the two lunch boxes into a thermal lunch bag and headed out.
Luca came back carrying a bunch of ingredients two hours ago.
Two hours later, she left with two lunch boxes and a thermos bag.
Aunt Neile could not help but wonder if Luca's relative was sick.
However, she heard that Luca's relatives lived abroad...
It was beyond Aunt Neile's reach to find out about it. Thus, she left the soup and barbecue ribs on the table and took the rest home.
The dishes Luca prepared tasted incredibly delicious. Her precious grandson would enjoy his dinner so much tonight.
In the hospital.
Luca walked into Wanda's hospital room, carrying two lunch boxes.
"Luca, what brings you here?" Wanda was surprised to see her. She did not expect Luca to show up at this hour.
Did she not just finish work? Did she rush to the hospital after work?
"Ms. Rayne, Dr. Willa said that you're having surgery tomorrow. That's why I came to visit you." Luca placed the lunch boxes on the coffee table and observed Wanda's complexion.
Other than her face turning pale when the surgery was mentioned, she seemed to be in good spirits.
It appeared that the chemotherapy sessions and the medicine prescription that Wanda took had not caused significant side effects to her body.
It was a silver lining in such an unfortunate situation.
"That's very kind of you. It was difficult for Dr. Willa to find some time and schedule the surgery for tomorrow." Even though Wanda was afraid of what would happen after the surgery, she felt like she should not be showing her feelings and making others feel sympathy for her.
Even though Luca was not a stranger, there were no blood ties between them.
However, Luca had already shown enough care and concern for her.
"That's great. I hope the surgery goes well and you can recover soon. Since you're not allowed to eat or drink before the surgery, I brought you dinner before the fasting time. Why don't you have dinner now?" asked Luca as she opened the meal box.
Wanda had no appetite as she was worried about tomorrow's surgery. She initially intended to ask Luca to leave the lunch boxes there, but then she caught a whiff of the aroma of the food in the air.
It whetted her appetite.
"It smells good. What's in the lunch boxes?" Wanda was curious. She walked toward Luca and sat down on the chair.
Luca pushed the lunch boxes toward Wanda and said, "It's not much. I prepared them myself. There's a variety of dishes. Why don't you try some?"
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2804-Wanda looked at the sumptuous meal in astonishment.
Luca was good at baking cookies and making desserts. Wanda knew she was a good cook. However, she did not know Luca could prepare such a lavish spread of dishes.
The caretaker beside Wanda could not help but swallow her saliva as she gazed at the dishes in the lunch boxes.
She was not hungry at first, but her stomach eventually began to growl when she saw the dishes.
She was hungry...
"You made this?" Wanda could not hide the astonishment that laced her voice.
"Yes, but I'm not sure if it meets your preference.” Luca knew Wanda was surprised. She handed another lunch box to the caretaker and added, "I made too much. Mrs. Lane, would you like to have some too?"
Luca remembered that Luke mentioned the caretaker Wanda hired was called Mrs. Lane.
She was a highly regarded caretaker in the hospital.
A patient from a VIP ward happened to be discharged from the hospital, and Mrs. Lane volunteered to be Wanda's caretaker when she noticed that Wanda was looking for one.
"Is this for me? Thank you!" Mrs. Lane was not going to reject Luca's offer. She would love to try it after seeing Wanda's lunch box.
Mrs. Lane opened the lunch box and was surprised to find that the portion of food in her lunch box was the same as Wanda's.
The dishes in her lunch box were exactly the same as Wanda's too!
Previously, she had eaten many lunch boxes brought by other families, but they were just lunch boxes they brought along on a whim.
It was common for them to hope she could eat well and take good care of the patient.
However, the lunch boxes given to her were quite different from the ones they gave to the patients.
Mrs. Lane spent most of her time taking care of patients in VIP wards, but the lunch boxes given to her were not as plentiful as those given to the patients.
Moreover, her job was in the service industry. The nature of the job was similar to that of a maid.
Had one ever come across a situation where the masters expected the maid to eat the same food as them?
Hence, Mrs. Lane felt satisfied just having something better than what she usually had. She never gave it much thought.
However, when Luca gave her the lunch box, she suddenly realized that there really were people who were willing to prepare the same meal for both the patient and the caretaker. novelbin
Even though it was just a small lunch box, Mrs. Lane felt that Luca was treating her without implying a hierarchical ranking. She felt as though she and Wanda were equals at this moment.
Luca then took out a thermos flask filled with soup and said, "Ms. Rayne, Mrs. Lane, where are your food containers? Here's some hot soup. It's better to pour it out and let it cool down a bit."
Mrs. Lane did not expect Luca to even prepare soup for her. "Let me get them!"
She put down her lunch box and went to the balcony outside to wash her and Wanda's food containers before bringing them back in.
They usually used food containers to get their meals. They would bring them to the cafeteria to get some food. It was better and healthier than using disposable meal boxes provided by the cafeteria.
Luca poured the soup into the two food containers.
The soup was cream in color, and the rich and savory fragrance filled the air.
Wanda asked, "Is this clam chowder?"
"Yes, Ms. Rayne. Have more. If there's not enough bread, I brought a container of white bread for you," said Luca as she took out the last container.
The container was filled with white bread.
"This meal is incredibly generous and bountiful. It's all my favorite dishes. Luca, did you ask Luke about my preferences?" Wanda could not help but marvel. She had not had many meals with this young woman, so how did she know her preferences so well?
"No. These are just some of the home-cooked dishes I made." Luca shook her head. Even if Luke was attentive enough, he could not possibly know Wanda's preferences.
That was something she had learned before.
A person's preferences were unlikely to undergo significant changes.
Moreover, Wanda was not the type to eat the same dish every day until she got tired of it.
Therefore, Luca assumed that it was highly unlikely that there would be a dramatic upheaval in Wanda's preferences.
Wanda suddenly felt that she had a strong connection with Luca.
How could Luke possibly know every dish she loved?
Luca preparing the dishes she loved was not just a coincidence; it was fate.
"Ms. Rayne, just relax tomorrow. Dr. Willa is a professional. You'll recover and go home to keep Old Master Rayne's company after the surgery." Luca reminded her to stay strong as there was an elder in the Rayne family who needed her.
She had to be fine!
Wanda was taken aback for a moment, then she nodded.
"A pleasant mindset helps during the post-surgery recovery. I assume that your appetite isn't going to be great for the first few days after the surgery. Once your appetite improves, I'll prepare meals for you. Just let me know what you'd like to eat and I'll fulfill your wishes!" Luca smiled gently. She felt a lump in her throat when she saw Wanda's expression.
Wanda was one of the few people in this world who treated her kindly and genuinely.
Her words touched Wanda deeply.
Regardless of whether or not she could do what Luca said, her words made Wanda feel a sense of reassurance. It made her think of Bianca.
Only Bianca would be considerate toward her back then.
"Alright, I promise you that I'll win this war," replied Wanda.
"That's great! I believe you'll recover and be healthy again.” Luca urged, "Ms. Rayne, go ahead and have your meal. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Okay." Wanda took a bite, savoring the rich flavor and delightful texture of the meat. It was incredibly delicious.
Her eyes lit up as Luca's dish was truly a feast for the senses.
"It tastes good. Luca, your culinary skills rival those of professional chefs!" Wanda praised.
"Oh no. It's just a simple home-cooked meal, nothing extraordinary," Luca humbly replied. Still, she knew her skills were truly exceptional with so many people praising her cooking skills.
Mrs. Lane chimed in as well, "Ms. Craw, it's really good!"
"Please have more if you like it. I'll add more if the bread isn't enough for you," Luca could not estimate how much Wanda and Mrs. Lane could eat, so she prepared an extra box of bread to make sure that it would be enough for them.
After Wanda and Mrs. Lane finished their meal and soup, Luca began to clean up.
However, Mrs. Lane swiftly took over her tasks. "Ms. Craw, let me handle this."
After that, Mrs. Lane stacked the lunch boxes neatly and disposed of them. Then, she took the emptied thermos flask and headed toward the restroom to clean it thoroughly before returning it to Luca.
The lunch boxes were disposable, but the thermos was not.
After cleaning the thermos, Mrs. Lane handed it back and said, "The food you prepared is delicious. This is the most Ms. Rayne has eaten in one sitting."
"I had more since it was good. I'm honoring Luca's kind gesture," said Wanda.
Her appetite had always been small.
Wanda had eaten the most she had in a while today. She was starting to feel a bit full now.
Fortunately, there were still a couple of hours before the fasting time started. Even though she felt a bit bloated, she would have digested most of it by tomorrow morning. It would not affect the surgery.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2805-After Wanda finished her meal, Luca did not stay in the ward any longer.
Luca grabbed her bag and left. Feeling a bit hungry herself, she was eager to return home for a quick meal.
On the other hand, Percy, Luke, Jim, Marcos, and Kastov gathered together.
It was supposed to be a drinking session, but food was served. It was okay for them to skip dinner.
After they clinked their glasses together, Marcos was the first to ask, "How is Mr. Pierre doing?"
"The doctor performed surgery on him. He's awake now and under medical care in the hospital ward," replied Percy.
Pierre did not want to see him.
Therefore, Percy left the hospital as soon as the nurse pushed Pierre back to the ward.
Pierre did not speak to him either. Old Master Mallory sat there watching over Pierre all night.
However, before Percy left, he arranged for two caretakers to take care of Pierre. There were still people taking care of him after Old Master Mallory left.
Kastov took a sip of his drink. He did not know the specifics, but he had a rough idea of it.
"The crime scene mentioned in today's news, was that where Pierre was held captive?" asked Kastov.
"Yes," Luke replied this time.
Gordan initially did not plan to alert the nearby residents. However, he did not expect the man to be such a light sleeper. He woke up as soon as Gordan approached him.
It was followed by a few impulsive gunshots without considering the fact that they were in a residential building.
The gunshots were not silenced, and there were a few shots in succession. They were not injured, but the residents living nearby were terrified.
As Gordan put it, the man was sleeping outside the room where Pierre was held, which was the living room.
The living room was much larger than the room. His knockout gas could make the people inside the room lose their consciousness within a minute, but not the living room.
Moreover, there was not much knockout gas left.
Gordan did not expect them to have the guts to fire the gunshots without a silencer.
"The Island of Despair has suffered a great loss," said Kastov as he wore a faint smile.
Kastov had been holding a grudge against the Island of Despair. Not only did they not benefit from it, but they also suffered losses. There would be major actions taken to recover these losses.
He would be able to gather more information about the Island of Despair when they made a big move.
The Island of Despair had suffered a loss, which could also be considered a loss for Luke.
He had instructed Gordan and Leroy to capture the faces of the two men who kidnapped Pierre. He intended to track them in the future and learn more about the Island of Despair.
Their bases and the mastermind...
However, the discharge of their firearms sent ripples of unease and stirred a sense of alarm among the public. Gordan incapacitated them with the knockout gas to avoid casualties. When the police arrived,
the two men were still unconscious, and they had no chance to escape!
Hence, the two men had fallen into the hands of the police. In accordance with the customary style of the Island of Despair's past operations, they would be abandoned for sure.
Therefore, the photos taken had become useless.
Luke felt somewhat frustrated and helpless.
"How is Mr. Pierre's condition now?" Marcos did not know either. That was why he asked.
"Johann said there's a 99% chance he'll be crippled, but he can recover a little through physical therapy. It won't be noticeable," replied Percy as he turned to look at Luke.
Johann talked to Percy in private and mentioned that Pierre would have a better chance at recovery if Luca could give him a needling treatment.
Why did Johann tell him about this in private?
It was because Johann knew there was a grudge between Luca and Pierre.
Previously, Bianca hated Pierre so much because of what happened to Nina, and now Luca hated him more.
Pierre had even targeted Luca before and tried to hurt her.
No matter how kind Luca was, there was no way she would treat Pierre.
That was why Johann talked to Percy in private to tell him about this. He was afraid that if Old Master Mallory found out about this, he would force Luca to treat Pierre.
If Luca agreed to help despite the resentment in her heart, it could still be deemed a mutually satisfactory outcome.
If Luca refused to help, she might disable Pierre with just a single needle.
Those who understood dry needling treatment knew that this technique could save lives if it was used well, but it could also transform into a deadly weapon in the wrong hands!
Even though ordinary doctors could not do this, Johann believed Luca could.
Besides, there was also Luke in the picture.
He despised Pierre so much that if Old Master Mallory found out about it and tried to force Luca to treat Pierre, Luke would definitely do something to protect Luca.
It would bring no good to the relationship between the Crawford family and the Mallory family.
Percy also understood what Johann meant and had no intention of asking Luca for help.
If Pierre was crippled, then so be it. Perhaps there would be less trouble if he was crippled.
The Mallory family had been busy looking for Pierre. They had yet to deal with the consequences of the absurd things Pierre had done back then.
Moreover, Pierre had brought this upon himself. If he had not caused so much trouble, his leg would have been fine, and he could have continued to live a glorious life as the second young master of the Mallory family.
Now, he had to cover his face when he showed up in the hospital corridor and remain hidden from view.
Furthermore, it was a stroke of luck that Luke did not personally disable Pierre.
Pierre had done so many despicable things behind his back. He even hurt the woman he loved the most...
Things were different for Percy. No matter how much he despised Pierre, he had to think about their kinship.
However, Luke had no blood relation with Pierre!
If Luke really wanted to do something, Pierre might already be in prison, facing a sentence of several decades or more.
Luke knew too much about Pierre. If he exposed everything he did, not only Pierre but the entire Mallory family would be put in a difficult situation.
Luke was merely giving them face for Percy.
Who was he to even mention the idea of having Luca treat Pierre?
No way!
Pierre did not deserve it!
Percy shifted his gaze and raised his wine glass again. "The Mallory family was only able to enjoy a moment of tranquillity with everyone's help. Thank you all."
The group raised their glasses again, and Percy's phone lit up the moment they clinked their glasses.
He took a sip of wine and checked his phone.
It was a message from the nurse at the hospital.
He had left his contact information with the two nurses who were responsible for taking care of Pierre to keep track of his condition.
[Mr. Mallory, the patient is aware of his condition of having a lame leg. He's throwing a fit in his hospital ward.]
Percy furrowed his brows.
Old Master Crawford requested that Pierre be kept in the dark about his leg being crippled at the moment.
He was afraid that it would cause him emotional instability and worsen the injury.
After all, arranging today's surgery was already quite a challenging task. Another surgery would be troublesome, indeed.
Moreover, having another surgery would also pose complications.
Percy questioned the nurse: [How did he find out?]
The nurse replied to him immediately: [He overheard the conversation when the caretakers were changing shifts. The door wasn't closed tightly, and they were unaware of it. That's how the patient found out about it.]
Caretakers were like nurses. They worked in shifts.
When Percy hired the caretakers, he only briefed the person starting the shift, who would then relay the information in detail to the other caretaker.
In that instant, the words escaped their lips, and they were unaware of the lurking ears.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2806-Percy frowned. He could not leave now.
Even if he could, going to the hospital meant that Pierre would only become more agitated upon seeing him.
Percy had no choice but to remind her: [Don't let him get out of bed. Don't let him hurt himself. Give him a tranquilizer if necessary.]
Jim, noticing how promptly Percy was responding to his phone messages, teased him, "You've only been away for a short while. Nina already misses you so much?"
Percy lifted his head with a helpless expression on his face.
"I've never seen such a helpless expression on Mr. Mallory's face before. What happened?" Jim noticed the unusual look on his face and asked with concern.
Pierre sighed and replied, "Pierre knows that his leg is injured. He's making a scene at the hospital."
Jim was surprised. "Were you planning to hide his leg injury from him? He would eventually have to get out of bed and walk again. It's better to tell him the truth."
"It was the old master's idea." Percy knew that Pierre would not be able to accept it.
However, what else could he do if he could not take it?
As a man, he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.
Still, Old Master Mallory's idea was to wait until Pierre had almost recovered before telling him. Otherwise, he was worried that Pierre would not be able to take the blow.
Percy had no comment. Thus, he followed Old Master Mallory's instructions.
He did not expect Pierre to find out about it within less than 24 hours.
As soon as Pierre woke up, he asked Old Master Mallory about his leg.
Old Master Mallory told him that he would fully recover with no after-effects as long as he took good care of himself.
Pierre believed it.
Now, he realized that he was crippled. It was much more emotionally devastating compared to being told the truth right from the start.
Jim recalled how people used to talk about Old Master Mallory.
He was decisive and firm in his actions. He showed no mercy, like an emotionless machine.
"It seems that the old master has indeed grown old and confused considering how he chose to deal with Pierre. Can Pierre take it?"
Percy shook his head. There was nothing he could do about Pierre's situation.
In the hospital, the nurse watched as Pierre vented his emotions. She was constantly convincing him to calm down.
However, Pierre continued to rip his pillow and bedding. He even wanted to get out of bed.
However, the anesthesia had worn off, and he was in great pain. Even the slightest movement gave him excruciating pain. Thus, he stopped moving, but anything within his reach was thrown and smashed on the floor.
The nurse felt helpless. She had never seen someone so energetic on the same day as their surgery.
Among all the patients she had come across, some of them would only cry and make a fuss if they could not accept the bad news after the surgery.
Pierre was different. He frantically threw things to drive her away. He even demanded she looked for Johann. He had a bad temper, and his movements were vigorous. He did not look like someone who had just undergone surgery.
Besides, Johann was not even the hospital's doctor. After performing the surgery on Pierre and confirming he was awake and fine, Johann handed him over to the orthopedic department's director. How could she possibly bring Johann here?
The nurse's face was filled with fear and helplessness as Pierre threw the plastic cup that was placed at the bedside table at her.
"Why are you standing there? Go and get that bastard to come over here!" Pierre roared.
The nurse let out a cry of surprise. She was unable to dodge in time, and she was hit by the flying cup.
Although Pierre was physically weak, he could aim well. The nurse winced in pain as she covered her forehead.
The head of the orthopedic department walked into the ward in a hurry with a syringe in his hand.
He saw the nurse crouching on the floor, covering her forehead. Hence, he thought Pierre had gone mad and hurt her. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Please give him the injection," replied the nurse as she stood up and rubbed her forehead.
Fortunately, it was a plastic cup that flew at her. If it had been a glass cup, she would have been seriously injured.
The nurse stood there, while the two incompetent caretakers hid behind the door, trembling with fear.
The head of the orthopedic department looked at Pierre, who was in a frantic state. He might end up getting himself injected if no one helped him.
He said to the two caretakers who were behind the door when he saw that the nurse was still in pain, "Don't stand there. Stop him!"
The caretakers came back to their senses. They wanted to move closer to him to help. However, they started to feel frightened again when Pierre glared at them with murderous intent. "I'm sorry. We dare not."
"Aren't you going to clean the mess you made?" asked the head of the orthopedic department. The caretakers trembled with fear. It was indeed their fault. They reluctantly made their way closer to Pierre.
Although Pierre was in a frantic state, he knew what the head of the orthopedic department was holding in his hand.
"Get lost! I'll kill anyone who dares to come near me," threatened Pierre.
After Pierre found out that he was crippled, all he wanted to do was to question Johann. Did he do it on purpose?
He promised to treat him!
Yet, he was crippled now!
Pierre was furious, unwilling to accept what had happened. He looked at his leg that was wrapped in bandages and plaster. His eyes glowed red, reminiscent of a man on the brink of madness.
He could not even believe that it was his leg!
However, the pain from the surgical incision reminded him that it was indeed his leg!
The head of the orthopedic department was startled for a moment. Of course, he knew who Pierre Mallory was.
He had no idea whether the rumors spreading on the internet about how Pierre had dealt with his enemies were true or false.
However, if they were true, he might be targeted after giving him that injection.
But if he did not give Pierre the injection, not only would the ward be chaotic, but it could also affect the patients in the wards next door.
There was a possibility that Pierre's surgery could end up being in vain because of this.
It took an incredible amount of strength and effort for Johann to save Pierre's leg.
If they had to perform surgery on him again, there was no telling if Pierre's leg could be saved this time.
"Mr. Pierre, this isn't what you think of. Didn't you just cry out in pain? It's a painkiller injection. You won't feel any pain once I give you an injection." The head of the orthopedic department tried to deceive him.
However, Pierre did not fall for it. "Who do you think you are? Hurry up and send that quack doctor, Johann, here! Otherwise, I'll destroy your hospital!"
The head of the orthopedic department felt ashamed.
Was Johann a quack doctor?
Then they were all as good as dead!
However, the head of the orthopedic department could not worry about that now. He looked at a caretaker and gave her a knowing glance.
The caretaker mustered up her courage and approached Pierre. She immediately restrained Pierre's hands.
Even though she was a woman, she came from the countryside and used to do farm work. Her strength was no less than that of a man.
With another caretaker on the other side, they managed to grab Pierre's hands.
The head of the orthopedic department seized the opportunity to plunge the needle into Pierre's left leg, injecting the solution into his leg's muscle without considering whether Pierre felt the pain or not.
It was a tranquilizer injection, and it would take effect soon.
As the head of the orthopedic department removed the needle, the caretakers immediately released Pierre's hands and took a few steps back, afraid that Pierre would harm them.
"Ah!" Pierre let out a furious roar, pointing at the orthopedic doctor. "I'll kill you. I will..."
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2807-The bed was soft. The head of the orthopedic department was not worried about Pierre banging his head when he fell.
Only after Pierre collapsed did the caretakers dare to approach and tidy up the mess on the bed. They changed the pillow and the sheets for Pierre, replacing them with new ones.
The head of the orthopedic department frowned as he looked at the sheets torn to shreds by Pierre.
Fortunately, Pierre could not get out of bed now. Otherwise, they would all be in trouble.
He was indeed ruthless.
"Sir, should we inform Dr. Park?" The nurse asked with concern. Pierre looked like he wanted to fight with Dr. Park just now!
"What should we say? What can we say?" The head of the orthopedic department asked twice in a row. "It was already unconventional for Dr. Park to perform the surgery on him at our hospital. Plus, I can tell that he did his best during the surgery. The patient's treatment was delayed for too long, and no immediate action was taken when he was injured. It wasn't easy to save the leg, and Dr. Park even saved his deteriorating nerves. He has done everything he could. It'll all be in vain even if Dr. Park comes and performs surgery on him again."
He knew it well because he was the assistant surgeon during the surgery.
Johann did not make any mistakes as he proceeded with each step according to standard procedure. The surgery was practically flawless.
It was unavoidable for Pierre's leg to be crippled. They were not gods, after all. Given the poor condition of Pierre's bones, the best outcome after the surgery was for him to be able to walk in the future.
The nurse felt speechless and had a throbbing pain in her head while she listened to him.
They did not inform Johann. They had no idea how Pierre would react when he woke up later.
Did they have to give him a tranquilizer every time he tried to make a scene?
He was not really insane. How could they possibly inject him with a tranquilizer every day? Besides, the Mallory family would not approve of such a way to calm him down.
The head of the orthopedic department had no other choice at the moment. He asked the nurse when he noticed her reddened forehead, "What hit you?"
The ward was a mess after Pierre threw everything on the floor.
The nurse pointed at the cup on the floor. "A plastic cup."
"Thank God it's not made of glass. Get an ice pack and apply it on your forehead," said the head of the orthopedic department. Pierre had calmed down now. He did not need a nurse to take care of him at the moment.
"Okay." The nurse had no choice but to leave the ward.
The head of the orthopedic department said to the two caretakers who had caused trouble, "Both of you, tidy this up."
"Yes, Sir," the caretakers replied in unison. It was their carelessness that caused the trouble. Hence, it was their responsibility to clean it up.
The nurse returned to the nurse's station and walked into the lounge. She took a frozen ice pack out of the fridge and applied it on her swollen skin in front of the mirror.
A chilling and sharp sensation of pain crawled over her forehead as the icy cold ice pack was applied on the reddened skin. The nurse grimaced in pain.
A colleague walked in and saw the nurse. Then, she asked, "Did you accidentally hit your head or did someone hit you? Why is it all red?"
"The patient lost control and threw something at me," explained the nurse. She did not feel like telling her what exactly happened.
The nurse who walked in a moment ago asked with confusion, “Is that patient's temper really that bad? It's truly the epitome of bad luck to be sent to take care of him."
The nurse secretly agreed with what her colleague said. Was it not true? It was really unfortunate for her to experience this.
The other nurse asked again, "But who's that guy? Do you mind cluing me in?"
She was pulling double shifts today. That was why she saw what happened to Pierre when he was sent upstairs.
Back then, the patient was lying on the bed with a cloth covering his face.
No one could see his appearance.
What was even more outrageous was that the director of the hospital assigned the head and deputy head of the orthopedic department as the attending physicians for this mysterious patient, while all other doctors were strictly forbidden from approaching him.
As for the nurses, the head nurse and a young nurse named Sunny were assigned to take care of him.
The head nurse took the day shift, while Sunny took the night shift.
Sunny was the one who got hit by the cup.
She was a relative of the director of the hospital. He believed that his relative was more reliable than others. That was why he had the head nurse work the day shift and assigned Sunny to work the night shift.
All the patient's medical records and medications were keyed into a separate computer, which was located in the patient's ward. Ordinary doctors and nurses were not allowed to be near that ward and were forbidden from inquiring about the patient's condition.
Moreover, the medication records were protected by a username and password, which belonged to the head nurse.
It was considered the most confidential login information in the department. Sunny thought to herself that her forehead would be swollen tomorrow if she did not apply the ice pack long enough.
She made up her mind and pressed the ice pack against her forehead.
The cool sensation spread from her head to toe, but Sunny persevered for the sake of beauty.
"The director has given his orders. Are you trying to get me in trouble by asking me to reveal the patient's information?” Sunny refused to let the nurse know who he was.
“Come on. I thought it'd be fine to tell me. You're the director's relative, after all. Besides, my lips are sealed," replied the nurse.
Sunny rolled her eyes. "He's the real deal. Even the director dares not to offend him. If I were to reveal it, not only will I get myself in trouble, but you'll also be in a mess of trouble too. Curiosity kills the cat. I'm doing this for your own good."
The nurse finally understood what Sunny meant.
She might lose her job if she found out who the patient was.
The nurse immediately stopped asking and left with a set of infusion equipment.
Sunny looked at herself in the mirror, still applying the ice pack to her forehead. Her hand was starting to feel numb.
She moved the ice pack away and took a glance at her forehead. It was still swollen and red. What rotten luck...
Unfortunately, she could only bear this silently.
She could not possibly ask for an apology or an explanation from the Mallory family when the director himself was afraid of them.
Sunny recalled that the head nurse told her that she would be exclusively responsible for taking care of Pierre for the upcoming period. She decided to search for information about Pierre on the internet.
Pierre had a list of evil deeds and a track record riddled with blemishes. Sunny could not help but think that Pierre was a notorious evildoer.
The second young master of the Mallory family? Even though the title sounded pleasant, in reality, he was just a bad person.
She initially refused to take on this responsibility, but the hospital director said that she had already agreed before revealing the person's identity.
Now that she knew his identity, there was no way she could back out. Otherwise, she could not blame anyone but herself for disregarding familial obligations.
The director also warned that if the Mallory family found out that she knew Pierre's identity but refused to take care of him, any future leaks of information would ultimately be blamed on her.
Sunny felt overwhelmed and reluctantly agreed to be responsible for taking care of Pierre at night.
"Ah, what terrible luck. This is ridiculous." Sunny threw the ice pack into the trash bin at the thought of this. Then, she gently touched her forehead.
She grimaced in pain.
"Sunny, have you applied the ice pack?" The head of the orthopedic department walked in. He was being so friendly to her because she was the hospital director's relative.
Although he was the head of the orthopedic department, he was not the top authority in the hospital.
If he did not receive any recognition, his position as the head of department could easily be replaced by someone else.
The income in a private hospital was much higher than that of an ordinary doctor in a public hospital. The pay for the head of department was even higher.
He did not want his position to be taken away.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2808-“Yes, Doctor. I've applied it." Sunny treated the orthopedics doctor with respect.
She did not behave arrogantly just because she was a relative of the director. Contrarily, she was quite approachable when working at the hospital.
"You have to avoid him when he goes crazy. It's not that bad this time, but if he throws something sharp next time, it'll ruin your face," warned the orthopedics doctor.
If Pierre was already acting like this right after the surgery, he could not imagine what he would be like once the effects of the tranquilizer wore off.
Would he continue acting insane or would he calm down?
The orthopedics doctor reckoned that Pierre would not be able to calm down.
"Alright. Doctor, when will he be discharged?" Sunny sighed.
The day Pierre was discharged from the hospital would be the end of their misery.
"That depends on when the Mallory family will take him back. The earliest he can be discharged is when he gets a cast after the stitches are removed, and that would take about seven to eight days. If he really wants to focus on recovery, he'll be here for three months. It's up to his family, whether it be seven days or three months." novelbin
Sunny felt even more hopeless hearing that.
If it were three months, she would have to work the night shift for three months. Not to mention, she would also suffer from Pierre's temperament. She dared not imagine what it would be like.
Rich people like them would usually stay in the hospital until they were completely cured just to be safe.
They could afford to pay for the ward anyway.
"Doctor, that didn't sound like good news." Sunny pouted.
"Based on today's condition, he might not have to stay for three whole months. Maybe his family will have him discharged from the hospital once the cast is fixed and his stitches are removed," the orthopedic doctor reckoned.
The Mallory family was being extremely cautious, so if Pierre were to stay in the hospital for three months, the risk of exposure would be much greater.
There were many people coming and going at the hospital.
The Mallory family may be rich, but they could not occupy too many resources by clearing out the entire floor of VIP wards.
Plus, Pierre's fracture did not restrict his movements much. Once his wound stopped hurting, he could get out of bed and sit in a wheelchair.
Could Pierre stand being trapped for three months?
If he could get out of bed, he would move around instead of staying in the ward all the time. If someone saw him, he would be in trouble.
When Sunny heard that, her eyes lit up. “Doctor, now that's what I want to hear. It's only a week. I'll get through it."
After that, she walked out with a smile.
The orthopedic doctor threw the syringe into the trash can and thought to himself that it had better be just a week.
Otherwise, none of them could take it.
The orthopedic doctor thought that the next time he saw the Mallory family, he would mention that Pierre could be exposed any time, so it was best for him to leave in a week after his stitches were removed.
The next day, Luca and Luke both woke up early.
It was the day of Wanda's operation, and they took it very seriously as they knew that the risks of surgery were unpredictable.
Moreover, Luke had not had time to sign Wanda's surgery consent form.
Wanda had to enter the operating room at 8:30 am, so they had to arrive at 7:30 am to meet the surgeon and sign various documents.
Luke was Wanda's family, so he had to sign many documents.
At the same time, the doctor had to tell Luke the risks of the operation once again.
Luca prepared pie for breakfast the next morning after returning from the hospital yesterday.
When Aunt Neile came to work, she saw the note Luca left and just heated up the pie.
When Luca and Luke came downstairs, the pie was just ready.
Then, Aunt Neile served it up.
Although Luca made the pie herself, she lost her appetite looking at it.
However, she knew that it was Wanda's big day, so it would definitely be a long day.
She might not have much of an appetite at home, but she would have less of an appetite at the hospital, so she had to eat more to have the energy to wait for Wanda's good news outside the operating room.
Luke cut out a piece of pie for her.
"Thank you." She picked up the fork.
"You should eat more even if you don't have an appetite because you need the energy when you're at the hospital later," said Luke. Wanda would not want to see their haggard looks.
When he came back from drinking yesterday, it was already dawn.
However, Luca was not asleep yet. Instead, she was lying on the bed in deep thought with her eyes open.
Luke asked her what she was thinking about.
She denied it and said that she could not sleep because she had too much coffee during the day.
Luke knew that she was worried about Wanda's surgery tomorrow, so he hugged her and told her to go to sleep.
Luca fell asleep afterward, but not for long. She even woke up with dark circles under her eyes.
When Luca noticed it, she put on some foundation and a touch of lip gloss to improve her complexion.
"Okay." Luca ate her pie.
After eating the pie, they departed for the hospital and arrived at 7:30 am.
When Luke saw Johann, he told Luke that the chief surgeon in charge of Wanda's operation, Dr. Willa, was waiting for him in her office.
Dr. Willa was a famous mastopathy specialist from abroad, and she was an expert at Wanda's illness.
Luke stepped forward to shake her hand and greet her.
Dr. Willa knew who Luke was, so she was specially nice to him. Then, she looked toward Luca and asked, "Is this your wife?"
Dr. Willa spoke English as everyone present could speak it.
Johann did not say a word as he wanted to see what Luke would say.
"Yes, Dr. Willa. I'm sorry I couldn't come sign the documents yesterday," said Luke. Johann contacted him yesterday to ask him to come over and sign the documents on behalf of Wanda's family.
However, he said that he would only be free today.
Fortunately, Dr. Willa had a last-minute meeting too, so she agreed to have the papers signed tomorrow morning.
"It's okay, Mr. Crawford. I understand that you're a busy person. Besides, I was busy yesterday too. Let me tell you about the possible risks the patient may face during surgery. Have a seat," said Dr. Willa before having Luke take a seat.
Luke then sat down.
Dr. Willa explained the various risks she might face during the surgery with a document that had already been translated.
Luke listened carefully, and so did Luca, who was standing beside him.
These were all potential risks that a patient may face, no matter what surgery it may be.
An experienced doctor's professional knowledge and experience would reduce the probability of those risks greatly.
Therefore, Luca was not that worried because she trusted Johann.
If he recommended Dr. Willa, she must be good at what she did.
That was why Johann recommended her.
After explaining the risk report, Luke signed his name in the family member column of the original document, while Dr. Willa signed her name in the chief surgeon column.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2809-After signing the relevant documents, Dr. Willa went to Wanda's ward.
Luca went in too, but Luke did not as Dr. Willa wanted to mark Wanda.
The marks on her body were for the operation, so it was not appropriate for Luke to go in.
When Dr. Willa walked in with her team, Wanda did not see Luca standing behind them.
She spoke with Dr. Willa. Her previous marriage in Japan made her understand the importance of language, so she was fluent in not only Japanese but other languages too.
It was not the first time Dr. Willa spoke to Wanda, so she said, “Ms. Rayne, I need to make a surgical incision mark on your breast, so please remove your clothing."
Wanda nodded as there was no such thing as gender in front of doctors.
Even though there were several men on Dr. Willa's team, she still undid her clothes.
Dr. Willa took out her pen and drew a circle on the position she was going to operate on.
That would be where she started her incision.
Dr. Willa compared the results of Wanda's many examinations before deciding on the position of the incision.
This position was the best.
After marking, Wanda buttoned up her clothes. She knew what the next procedures were. The nurses in the ward would take her to the operating room downstairs and hand her over to the nurses in the operating room.
Dr. Willa smiled at Wanda in an effort to relieve her nervousness. "Ms. Rayne, I'll prepare for the surgery now. I'll see you later."
"Thank you, Dr. Willa," said Wanda. She did not know what else to say other than thank you.
Besides, it was decided at the last minute that Dr. Willa would be performing the surgery. If it were not for Johann, Dr. Willa would not have agreed on performing the surgery.
Only after Dr. Willa and her team left the ward did Wanda see Luca.
"Luca, why are you here?" She was a little surprised as she did not hear her say that she would be here today.
"You have an operation today, so I wanted to wait for your good news outside the operating room," said Luca.
Wanda got teary. “Did you ask for a leave? It's just a minor operation, so it'll be fine. Besides, I'm not alone. Luke will be waiting for me outside, so don't waste your time and go back to work."
Although Luke had not appeared, she knew that he would definitely be there.
Wanda was moved by Luca's gesture, but she was worried about disturbing her work.
Although she was well-acquainted with Luca, she was not family, so how could she disturb her work because of her own affairs?
"I already asked for leave yesterday, so it'll be embarrassing to show up at work now. Ms. Rayne, let me wait for your good news outside the operating room." Luca repeated the words 'good news' for the third time now.
The good news would be a successful operation where Wanda was in good health with all the cancer cells removed.
That was good news.
That was a mental cue Luca gave Wanda to make her believe that her operation would go well.
"Alright." Wanda agreed to what she said.
She would definitely be able to give Luca good news.
The nurse came in and said to Wanda, "Ms. Rayne, it's time to go downstairs to the operating room. Would you like to go down on your own or in a wheelchair?"
"I'll go by myself," said Wanda. Since she was not yet weak, she would like to walk more while she still could.
Besides, she did not know how weak her body would become after the operation.
What she did not know was that her health would gradually improve after taking the herbal medicine Luca prescribed.
Other than relieving the side effects of chemotherapy, the herbal medicine helped strengthen and nourish the body too.
A healthy body would be able to better alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy.
"Ms. Rayne, let me help you." Luca stepped forward to help Wanda. novelbin
Mrs. Lane had to do the same too.
The few of them walked out of the ward, and Luke, who had been waiting in the corridor, stood up straight and said, "Stay strong, Aunt Wanda."
"I will. You'll hear good news soon." Wanda smiled as she did not want the younger ones to worry about her.
They took the elevator down to the operating room.
It was the earliest operation, so there were not many family members of patients outside the operating room.
Luca and Luke sent Wanda to the door of the operating room.
Wanda bent down to put on the operating room shoes.
The operating room nurse said, "Family members aren't allowed inside, so please wait outside." Luca knew that this was the farthest she could go.
She watched as Wanda walked into the operating room while the door slowly closed.
There was a stinging sensation in Luca's nose.
Wanda had a good life, but she had difficult days too. However, she did not want to think about the past. She only hoped that Wanda could safely overcome this operation.
She hoped that Dr. Willa would be able to help her.
“Let's sit and wait," said Luke as he took Luca's hand and walked to a row of chairs to sit down.
Luca felt that she was a little far from the entrance of the operating room. What if they could not hear the nurse calling Wanda's name when they were distracted?
"Luke, let's sit over there." She pointed at the chair facing the door of the operating room.
She wanted to hear about Wanda first thing.
Luke frowned and said, "It's too cold there."
The seats facing the door of the operating room were colder than the other seats.
The temperature in the operating room was lower than outside, so when the door was open, cold air would rush out.
Even the chairs were cold to the touch.
Luca knew that he was worried that she would be cold, so she pointed at the seats diagonally opposite them. "Shall we sit there, then?"
Although they would not see the doctor first thing, it was closer to the door of the operating room, and they would not feel the cold wind.
"Sure." Luke thought that the seats would not be as cold, so he stood up and walked over there with her hand in his.
Mrs. Lane was sitting on the chair opposite them and observed the intimacy between them.
Mrs. Lane could see Luca's worry, but she was puzzled at the same time.
She met Luca for the first time yesterday, and after she left, she asked Wanda how she was related to Luca.
Wanda said that Luca was not a relative but a friend of her son-in-law. She said that she was skilled in medicine, and she had helped her father to recover too.
After some time, they got close.
Mrs. Lane understood, but she was still surprised to see how nice Luca was to Wanda even though she was not a relative. What a rare sight.
Seeing Luca hold hands with Luke made her confused again.
Was she really just her son-in-law's friend?
She knew that Luke was the son-in-law Wanda was talking about.
Besides, Luke and Luca were the only ones who came to visit Wanda when she was in the hospital.
She did not see anyone else either.
Mrs. Lane thought to herself, 'That's probably her son-in-law's girlfriend.'
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2810-chapter will update soon
