Ch. 2821..2830

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2821-Now, the nature of this case had become even more serious.

Shandra did not play along with him and asked in a serious tone, "Do you know how severe the sentencing can be in A City for this? Mr. Ethan, you shouldn't have withheld any information when you sought a lawyer!"

Ethan nodded repeatedly and replied, "It's just a difference of a few more or fewer years in the sentence, but I believe you, Ms. Cullen. You have the ability to settle this matter for Mr. Matysh."

Shandra rolled her eyes. She did not want to hear such flattery.

Did settling this matter for Matysh not mean helping him to avoid imprisonment?

Unless there was a complete reversal in the chain of evidence, there was nothing she could do about it. She could only fight for a slightly reduced prison term for Matysh.

Shandra decided not to argue about that and asked, "Tell me about Mr. Marcos."

"Are you interested in him?" Ethan could not help but make a connection when he saw her sudden curiosity about Marcos.

"Since the day I decided to become a lawyer, I've made up my mind that my husband can only be from the legal field, Mr. Ethan. If I'm defending Mr. Matysh, I need to understand everything about him—his relationships and even his background. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for me to handle this matter." Shandra's expression turned serious as she mentioned that her husband had to be from the legal field, reminding her of Walter.

He was like a lingering ghost!

He would show up at every place she went. It was as though he was tormenting her like he was taking revenge.

Shandra even felt that if it were not for her strong psychological resilience, she would have been emotionally shattered by Walter's behavior.

Fortunately, tough people could not be easily defeated!

Ethan thought to himself that it was not surprising for him to think that way in the first place when he heard that.

After all, Marcos was considered outstanding in the eyes of many women who desired to be his wife.

However, those women only had such thoughts because Marcos was managing M Group now.

Ethan believed that if Matysh was fine, Marcos would be in trouble.

Would those women still cling to Marcos with their burning desires at that time?

Ethan looked at Shandra with a serious expression on his face. He reckoned that her reasons were reasonable.

Thus, he nodded and provided Shandra with some basic information about Marcos.

Shandra recorded the important details while she listened to him.

Matysh and Marcos appeared to have a harmonious uncle-nephew relationship, but in reality, they were competitors.

If Matysh went to jail, Marcos would be the biggest beneficiary.

Even though Marcos looked like he did not set Matysh up, he certainly did not want him to live comfortably...

Shandra took a bunch of notes and concluded that it would be best to investigate this case without Marcos' knowledge.

Furthermore, it seemed like Marcos had a lot to say to Luke. Considering Luke's connection to the Norman family, they should also keep it from him.

Shandra felt annoyed. Luke reminded her of Walter.

She secretly returned to the country, and he should have known that she came back. Would he follow her back or continue his studies over there?

If he returned, would Luke seek help from Walter for defense?

"It's easy for us to bypass Mr. Marcos in our investigation. He's Russian and doesn't have much influence here. But we also have to hide it from Luke," said Shandra as she leaned back a little to relieve her fatigue.

She had been taking on cases without much rest after she returned. She was exhausted now.

"The old master has made arrangements here. Even though we're from Russia, it's still easy to send someone over to assist with the investigation," replied Ethan.

Matysh's incident had made the old master, who was in Russia, no longer trust the local citizens here.

They would not seek help from local hooligans to get things done here.

They would be sending the Russians.

Shandra shook her head. "No, we can't involve the Russians. It's too conspicuous. The majority here are local citizens, and you should find them to handle the job."

A bunch of Russian faces investigating the matter?

It was impossible for Luke not to find out about it!

Ethan frowned, feeling perplexed. The Russians had not considered this aspect.

After all, they did not have many businesses in A City. They had little experience in dealing with such matters.

What Shandra said made sense!

"But the old master doesn't trust anyone here," said Ethan.

Shandra gave him a cold look. "Tell the old master that I am a Caucasian. If he doesn't trust the Caucasians, I don't mind terminating our contract."

Ethan realized that his words had inadvertently shown discrimination and made Shandra uncomfortable.

He quickly corrected himself, "I mean the old master doesn't trust the thugs here. He has a hundred percent trust in talented individuals like you, Ms. Cullen."

Shandra began to doubt how Ethan became a lawyer.

Being a lawyer meant not harboring discriminatory views, but Ethan seemed to have quite a strong racial bias.

No wonder he only had a mediocre reputation internationally.

Despite serving the Matysh family for so long, how could someone with racial discrimination truly become a formidable lawyer?

Sometimes, being someone with racial advantages did not make them right. Being able to treat everyone equally was the essence of being a lawyer!

Shandra's tone was firm. "Regardless of who your old man discriminates against or distrusts, this is A City. If we use the people you send over and we discover any evidence beneficial to Mr. Matysh, the other side will most likely find out about it too. If they have prior knowledge, they'll have enough time to counter it. Think carefully about what I'm saying because all of this can affect how long Mr. Matysh will be in prison."

Ethan felt that she made a valid point.

If he compared Shandra to the interpreter, he considered the person Marcos hired to be useless.

That was why Matysh told him not to let Marcos interfere in this matter.

The interpreter only understood the translation and never considered these things. It was surprising that the interpreter had a background in law and Russian language studies.

Shandra, whom he found, was truly impressive!

"I will convey your words to the old master." Ethan could not make the decision and needed to consult the old master's opinion.

Shandra felt impatient all of a sudden. If she had known it would be like this, she would not have eagerly taken on this case.

She rubbed her throbbing forehead.

If Luke and Walter got involved, she would really have a headache.

It was not that she was afraid, but who would willingly add trouble and difficulty to something that could go smoothly?

Shandra followed Ethan and went to meet Matysh.

When Matysh was brought in by the police and saw Shandra, his eyes lit up!

This woman was stunning!

Matysh had been deprived of female companionship for a while. Hence, his eyes naturally sparkled when he saw a beautiful woman.

Before he had the chance to fulfill his desires with Luca, he found someone who resembled her.

It did not matter to him whether the woman looked like Luca or not. He would be after any pretty girl he laid his eyes on!

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2822-"Was this specially prepared for me?" Matysh blurted out his thoughts, forgetting that he was in a detention center in A City.

Shandra spoke Russian, so her face immediately turned sullen when she understood what he said.

Matysh's leering gaze was unyielding as if he were looking at prey. He thought that Ethan had sent him a plaything to make his time in the detention center a little less miserable.

“Mr. Matysh, this is A City's detention center," Shandra reminded. The discipline in A City's detention center was strict, unlike abroad, where they could act one way in the open and another way in secret.

In some countries, some rich criminals could even live a good life in prison.

However, it was different for A City. No matter how rich one was, as long as they had violated the law, they would be treated the same as any other criminal.

Matysh raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you a feisty one? Hmm, fine by me. Let her in."

That last sentence was addressed to Ethan.

Ethan broke out in a sweat. "Mr. Matysh, she's the defense lawyer I found you. Ms. Cullen isn't who you think she is."

"How could you get a chick to defend me? Can she even do the job?" Not only was Matysh heavily racist, but he was sexist too.

Shandra grimaced as she took out the contract she signed with Ethan. "Mr. Matysh, since you've decided that women aren't able to defend you, please sign this to terminate the contract."

She did not think that Matysh was right. This criminal defense case was her first case back in A City.

Shandra knew that if she accepted this case, she would instantly rise back to fame and regain the popularity she previously had in A City.

However, she had been away for too long...

It did not matter how good she was before because after she left, no one remembered her.

There were a lot of lawyers in A City, so anyone could take her place. After she left, she was instantly replaced.

In the first two years of leaving, she would still get calls from people asking her to help with lawsuits, but eventually, she got none.

If it were not assigned to her by legal aid, her past self would have refused such a vile and outrageous

case.

Matysh squinted his eyes after seeing how headstrong she was.

Those exotic eyes were full of malicious intent.

Matysh was reminded of the unattainable Luca, who was the reason he was in this situation.

He had to get out of here to teach those people a lesson.

Ethan hurriedly came over to mediate between them. “Ms. Cullen, don't get him wrong. Mr. Matysh didn't mean that, nor does he mean to terminate the contract."

After speaking to Shandra, he turned to Matysh and said, "Mr. Matysh, Ms. Cullen is an internationally renowned lawyer. Once I found out that she had returned to A City, I immediately asked her to be your defense attorney. Ms. Cullen has a lot of experience with cases like yours, so you must trust our decision."

By 'our' he meant to exclude Marcos.

Matysh narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shandra. She was well-dressed, but because of his prejudice toward women, he thought that she was faking it.

However, Ethan chose her, so perhaps he should trust him. "Fine, I trust your decision, but can you please spend some money to make some arrangements for me? There aren't any women or alcohol in here. It's killing me!"

Shandra snorted and cursed inwardly before saying, "The detention centers in A City are different from those in Russia. Money can't get you the things you want here."

Not only was it impossible with money but personal connections too.

Even power was useless!

A City's justice system had always been impartial.

Matysh was growing impatient, so he yelled at Ethan, "Tsk, how annoying. You! You either make the arrangements soon or get me out of here now. Otherwise, I'll suffocate to death in here!"

"Yes, Mr. Matysh. Please bear with me." There was not much Ethan could do too as this was not Russia, so they could not just do whatever they wanted!

He could only appease Matysh. "Just be a little more patient. Other than introducing Ms. Cullen to you, I brought her here today so she could ask you some questions too."

"Why am I being questioned again? Why are all of you lawyers so annoying?" Matysh yelled impatiently. With the beautiful Shandra in front of him, all he could do was sit idly.

An urge he had been suppressing all this while was sneaking up on him, about to explode anytime now. Shandra ignored his yelling and opened up her laptop.

The light from the computer screen shone on her face, which made Matysh's heart itch when he saw it.

Why did she not come alone?

However, that b*tch would not wipe that look off her face. Plus, there was surveillance here, so he would not be able to do anything even if she came alone.

Thus, Matysh gave up that notion and decided that he had to get out of there instead.

"Mr. Matysh, I've read the documents from the police and the records you told Mr. Ethan about, but I still have a few questions to ask you. It won't take long." Shandra's tone was cold. Unlike Ethan, she did not have to bow and scrape before him.

If he was unwilling to cooperate, she had an excuse to leave any time.

That was the law in A City. It protected defense attorneys like them.

"I've said everything I had to say." Matysh folded his arms together with a haughty look on his face.

“I suspect that you lied to Mr. Ethan. If you lie in A City, I have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract we signed," said Shandra.

Ethan had Matysh sign the contract before handing it to her.

If Matysh lied to her and concealed important facts regarding the case, she had every right to dismiss him.

Matysh's eyes widened as his veins appeared in his bulging temples. “How dare you threaten me?"

“This is A City, and I'm from here, so what is there to be afraid of?" Shandra's gaze was equally as piercing with a calm expression.

Matysh may be a scary name in Russia, but in A City, he was nothing.

Shandra had come in contact with all kinds of people before, even mob bosses who dominated several states.

If she was afraid of a man like him, her name would be unheard of in the legal world.

Matysh snorted without a word, but Shandra knew that he had given in.

He was afraid of being imprisoned.

Shandra started interrogating, and an hour later, Ethan's head was in his hands as Matysh had lied to him, just as Shandra predicted.

Shandra saved a voice recording before shutting her computer and keeping it in the leather briefcase. Then, she stood up and looked down at Matysh's humiliated face. “Sometimes, lying won't protect you, especially when lying to your defense attorney."

After that, she glanced at Ethan. How useless could he be to not notice such an obvious flaw in his story?

Ethan looked at her and sighed. He did not think there would be any flaws in the story because Matysh was supposed to trust him.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2823-Reality hit Ethan so hard that he could not look Shandra in the eye.

Thus, he withdrew his gaze.

When Shandra left, Ethan said to Matysh, “Mr. Matysh, hang in there. Ms. Cullen and I will bail you out as soon as possible."

Matysh watched them leave indifferently and cursed, "Stupid b*tch, who do you think you are?"

If not for Ethan praising her, he would never have gotten himself a woman to defend him!

When Shandra left the detention center, she heard someone call her name, "Ms. Cullen?"

Shandra stopped in her tracks, turned to where the voice was coming from, and saw that it was a policeman from the detention center.

He looked familiar, but she could not pinpoint where she knew him from.

Although she used to meet clients here often when she was in A City, the police officers would change, so she did not expect anyone to know her.

The police officer trotted over with a smile on his face when he confirmed her identity. "Ms. Cullen, it's really you. I saw you coming in with a foreigner just now, so I thought I was mistaken. It's been such a long time. How are you?"

"I'm good, and you are..." Shandra could not recall who the policeman was.

Sometimes, she had to deal with the police here because of her work.

She could still recall the policemen she was close with, but she had no memory of the one in front of her.

The policeman was very young. He had a timid smile with tan skin and bright eyes, but he still did not ring a bell.

"I'm Sully." The policeman realized that he was being over-familiar. After introducing himself, he was afraid that Shandra still did not recognize him, so he said, "You helped my family previously. I was still in A City's Public Security University at that time. My father was framed for theft by the department manager, but you thought that he was innocent, so you took on his case. In the end, it was proven that the person who committed the theft was the manager, and it had nothing to do with my father. You helped my father, and you helped me too. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to become a policeman."

Shandra started to recall when she heard what the policeman said.

A year before she went abroad, she did take on such a case, and it left an impression on her.

Sully's family was not well-off, so they hired a lawyer through legal aid. When she came across that case, she found it suspicious, so she took on the case before legal aid could even assign them a lawyer.

After an in-depth investigation by the police and her defense, Sully's father's innocence was proven.

“I remember now. It's been such a long time. You've graduated and achieved your dream. That's amazing." Shandra remembered Sully saying that his dream was to become a policeman.

If his father had been sentenced at the time, he would not have been able to achieve his dream.

"You remember!" Sully was filled with excitement as he did not expect the busy Shandra to remember that incident.

"Yup, is your father doing well?" Shandra asked. Sully's father was a hard-working person, and a person like him should not go to jail for being framed.

"He's doing pretty well. After winning the lawsuit, the police vindicated him. Now, he's changed companies and even got promoted." Sully felt that Shandra was their family's great savior.

His family's lives began to improve ever since she appeared to help them.

Shandra could not help but sigh at the wonderful news.

Another voice sounded, "Sully, the meeting is about to start. What are you doing there?"

Sully turned toward the voice and shouted, "Chief Will."

Shandra watched Chief Will walk over with a nod and a smile.

She had met Chief Will a few years ago, and they were well-acquainted at that time.

"Ms. Cullen, have you returned from abroad?" Chief Will was surprised to find out that the person Sully was talking to turned out to be Shandra.

Sometime after Shandra went abroad, he realized that he had not seen Shandra for a long time.

One time, he saw a lawyer from the same law firm as Shandra and asked about her. Only then did he find out that Shandra had gone overseas to further her studies.

"Yes, Chief Will. Long time no see," Shandra greeted him with a smile.

"It really has been a long time. You were abroad for several years. I thought you wouldn't come back." When Chief Will saw someone he knew, he stopped rushing Sully to the meeting. Instead, he started chatting with Shandra as well.

He admired Shandra in the past and even thought of pairing her up with his son.

However, Shandra had certain criteria for marriage. She had to marry someone in the same line of work as her, so Chief Will gave up that notion.

"After finishing my studies, I still feel like my home country is the best, so I came back," Shandra said with a smile. When she first came back, people even spread rumors that she came back because she had a hard time mixing well abroad.

That was not actually the case. She was doing so well abroad that the law firms there wanted her to stay when she decided to come back.

She really missed home...

Not to mention, she wanted to get rid of the plague that was Walter.

"It's good that you're back. It seems like you're taking cases again?" Chief Will glanced at Shandra's attire, which was the usual lawyer look for meeting clients.

“Yes, I took up a case." Shandra nodded.

Chief Will did not continue to question. If he was curious about the case, he could check the records to find out, so there was no need to ask her.

He glanced at the time and said, "Ms. Cullen, I have a meeting to attend, so I'll see you soon." novelbin

"Alright, take care, Chief Will." Shandra did not expect Chief Will to still be the head of the detention center. As she was about to leave after seeing them off, Ethan walked over to her.

"You know people here?" Ethan was a little surprised. He was watching from a distance just now and thought that the two policemen were friendly to Shandra.

"Almost all lawyers know the people in charge here." Shandra did not explain much. The lawyers may know them, but they did not necessarily know the lawyers.

Chief Will knew her because he admired her.

"What does the middle-aged man do?" Ethan asked. He could tell that the young guy was a policeman, but he was not sure about the older one.

He was not from A City, so he could not tell the other person's position from their uniform.

Shandra walked out of the detention center. "He's the chief."

Ethan was intrigued. "You know the chief here!"

Shandra did not reply as she had heard this sentence many times before.

Some people thought that she would be able to bring prohibited things for her client just because she knew the chief.

Ethan's tone of voice was the same as those people's.

Ethan said, "Then can you make arrangements for Mr. Matysh to help ease his life in there?"

Shandra stopped and stood beside her car.

The driver Ethan hired opened the car door, but she did not enter. Instead, she looked at Ethan and expressed her contempt for Matysh. "Other people require basic necessities that can be sent in through regular procedures, but Mr. Matysh thinks that alcohol and sex are necessities. Mr. Ethan, let's be realistic here."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2824-Shandra's mockery made Ethan's face turn sour.

However, he did not refute her.

It only took a while for Shandra to effortlessly coax Matysh into revealing the truth. She certainly had some skills. Ethan recalled how he had assured her earlier that the testimonies provided by Matysh were genuine. He had been so confident back then, but now he felt utterly embarrassed.

"Cough, cough. Ms. Cullen, let's get in the car," said the interpreter. He could not help but secretly respect Shandra as well.

Ethan claimed to be a world-renowned lawyer, but Shandra seemed more fitted for that title...

Shandra brushed Ethan off and said, "I'll take a cab myself, Mr. Ethan. I'll contact you in advance if there's anything to be done."

After that, she picked up her phone and opened the e-hailing app.

This area was quite remote. She waited for a while, but no drivers accepted her request. Nevertheless, Shandra still refused to get into Ethan's car.

Working together with him would lower her IQ.

The interpreter followed Ethan's instructions, approached Shandra, and invited her to get into the car. "Ms. Cullen, it's not easy to get a cab here. Why don't you get in the car first? We can have the driver take you back to the law firm."

As soon as he said that, Shandra saw a bus slowly approaching. There was a bus stop nearby. She replied, "It's okay. I'll take the bus. It's the same."

After that, Shandra walked to the bus stop. After the bus came to a halt, she got on. Then, she opened her phone to make the payment, walked to the back of the bus, and sat down.

There was only a single bus route that provided access to the entire city in this area.

To cater to the convenience of the residents, this bus route had multiple stops and drove a longer route. It usually took around an hour by car to get back to the city center, but this bus would take over two hours.

Shandra did not mind traveling an extra hour on the bus. She thought it was fine as long as she did not have to ride in the same car as Ethan.

She thought to herself that since she had returned to A City to pursue her career, she would need to buy a car. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to go anywhere.

Feeling frustrated after being tricked by Ethan and realizing that Matysh dared to have inappropriate ideas toward her, Shandra was in a terrible mood now.

She called her assistant. "Yvette, get me a car."

Yvette was startled for a moment. A car?

She knew how to handle legal matters and was proficient in legal affairs, but buying a car?

Yvette knew nothing about cars...

"Ms. Cullen, what brand are you looking for?" Although she did not understand, as her assistant, her job was to help Shandra through her difficulties.

What brand?

Shandra was stunned for a moment. She just wanted a car for her transportation needs as it would be more convenient for her. Even though the law firm would provide her with a car in the future, that was still half a year away.

She was not short of funds to buy a car. She did not need the law firm's help to buy a car either.

Shandra remembered the car she used to drive before. Walter had picked it for her. The car had a good performance. It was also classy and suitable for a lady...

She did not know much about cars. It was good enough as long as the car was functional.

After that, she sold the car to the second-hand car market when she went abroad.

"Probably a Lexus..." Shandra could not recall the model, but she remembered the brand.

"What's your budget?" Yvette noted the brand Shandra wanted.

"Anything below 600,000 dollars will do," replied Shandra. She had earned quite a bit of money but had no particular preferences or demands when it came to cars. Hence, she did not need to buy something too expensive. Besides, a car priced over 600,000 dollars was already quite costly for an average whitecollar worker. She paused for a moment and added her requirements, "It should have a classy appearance and must be suitable for a lady to drive. I don't know much about car performance. I'll leave that to you. Oh, it has to be safe to drive too."

"Okay, Ms. Cullen. I'll go take a look for you." Yvette knew nothing about cars, but she had a boyfriend who knew about them.

"Great. Make it quick. I don't want to wait." Shandra urgently needed a car.

Yvette clicked her tongue. Usually, the law firm would provide a car for the lawyers, especially for outstanding lawyers like Shandra. They would definitely be given a car.

However, the condition for receiving a car was that Shandra had to stay at the law firm for at least six months.

Yvette could not help but marvel at how much money Shandra could earn when she heard about Shandra's budget and how urgently she wanted it.

"Okay, got it. Ms. Cullen, I heard some news..." Yvette hesitated for a moment but decided to share the news she had heard.

"What news?" Shandra gazed at the scenery outside the bus and took a deep breath.

Before she became a famous lawyer, she often took this bus to the detention center to meet with her clients.

She had no money and no car at that time, but she was full of hope for the future.

Now, as she took the bus again, she noticed that there were more stops along the route.

"I heard that Mr. Long has returned. He joined the law firm upstairs..." whispered Yvette.

Yvette was from the same school as Shandra, and they took the same major. She had heard about what happened between Shandra and Walter from her senior schoolmates.

Even though Shandra and Walter had graduated many years ago, they were still considered the idols of their law school. That was why Yvette knew about their history.

In the end, she decided to tell Shandra about it...

It was because Yvette knew that the two of them were bound to meet again since Walter was working in the law firm upstairs.

Walter Long?

His name had come across her mind a few times today, but it was the first time she heard it from someone else.

"I see," replied Shandra. Then, she hung up the call.

Walter had returned, indeed!

That man just would not give up!

At the same time, Luca received a call from a hospital.

It was not a hospital in the city center but a small hospital in the suburbs.

"Hello, do you know Sarah Poplar?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the line.

Sarah Poplar?

Luca felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar at first, then she heard the person say, "We found your business card in her wallet. We want to ask if you're her relative."

It reminded Luca of it when the person mentioned her business card.

It was the business card that Watson had printed for her. She always had the habit of carrying two of them, but she had never had a chance to hand one out, except to that woman who was chased by debt collectors.

"Ms. Poplar?" Luca muttered to herself, then asked, "Who are you?"

She was cautious. There were still a lot of scammers in this world.

"Do you know her? That's great. This is Mercy Hospital. She fell sick, and she has been staying here for some time. Her condition is a bit critical now. She didn't leave any contact information for us to reach her family. She said she has no relatives here. Do you mind coming over now? It's urgent," said the woman.

"What kind of illness does she have?" Luca could hear that the person on the other end of the line had a distinctive A City accent without any trace of a regional accent. In this regard, it did not seem like a scam.

However, she had to be cautious.

"It's a brain disorder, but I'm not a doctor, and I can't explain it. Miss, don't worry, we're not scammers. Your phone number is the only contact number she has on her. It's urgent. Could you please come over?" The woman stressed the critical condition Sarah was in now.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2825-"Is there a neurosurgery department at Mercy Hospital?" asked Luca. If she was going to a hospital, she did not have to be afraid of encountering fraudsters.

Since something really happened to Sarah, she could not turn a blind eye to it. After all, she had already received the call.

"Yes. Can you come now?" the woman from the other end of the line asked again.

"I'll head there now." Luca hung up the call and informed Warren.

When Warren said he was standing by at the parking lot and ready to drive her anywhere, Luca quickly changed her clothes and prepared to leave.

Mo Stone saw Luca enter the office. Luca was wearing a coat and carrying a briefcase. She pulled out a leave application form and asked, "Dr. Craw, are you taking a leave of absence?"

"Yes. There's something I need to attend to," Luca took the form and filled it out. She was asking for personal leave.

She had taken quite a few days off recently. Fortunately, the project had not officially started yet. Her absence would not delay it.

Mo Stone did not say anything. She took the form from Luca and glanced at it. After she saw that Luca was asking for personal leave, she smiled and said, "Dr. Craw, go ahead and take care of your business."

"Okay." Luca nodded, too preoccupied to worry about anything else. She immediately headed downstairs.

The person on the phone said that Sarah was admitted to the hospital with a brain disease.

If it was a brain disease, it would be perilous. Therefore, Luca tried to arrive at the hospital as soon as possible to understand the situation.

Luca arrived at the parking lot and got into the car. Warren asked, "Ms. Craw, where would you like to go?"

"Mercy Hospital," replied Luca.

When he heard her say that, he momentarily froze, his fingers pausing on the navigation screen.

Luca had been going to hospitals in the city center for the past few days. Why was she going to Mercy Hospital all of a sudden?

After Warren entered the destination, he started the car engine and drove out of the parking lot. Then, he asked, "Dr. Craw, why are you going to Mercy Hospital?"

"A friend of mine fell sick. She's receiving treatment there," explained Luca. She did not really see Sarah as a friend.

However, since the hospital contacted her, she did not know what would happen to Sarah if she did not go there.

Luca believed that fate played a role in this world. Since the hospital contacted her, she decided to make the trip.

"Mercy Hospital isn't known for its expertise. How could your friend be treated there?" Warren could not help but ask.

Luca's friends should have a higher status. How could they receive treatment at a small hospital like Mercy Hospital?

If it were a minor illness, Warren did not think Luca would bother to visit...

"I'm not sure either, but let's go and see," said Luca, remembering what the person on the phone said. She was worried that they might be deliberately deceiving her to go there.

After all, she only had a brief encounter with Sarah. Even though she did not seem like a bad person, Luca thought it was better to be cautious. "Warren, come up with me later."

"Sure." Warren vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Luca's expression was not too good.

Mercy Hospital was quite far from the city center, but Watson's location was already on the outskirts. Warren realized the urgency of the situation and drove quickly, taking less than 20 minutes to arrive there and park in the Mercy Hospital parking lot.

Warren followed Luca's instructions. He parked the car and then got out of it. Then, he followed Luca to the hospital.

It was Luca's first time coming to Mercy Hospital. She was completely unfamiliar with the layout.

However, she did not waste any time and went straight to the hospital lobby to inquire about the floor where the neurosurgery department was located. After that, she hurriedly headed upstairs.

Mercy Hospital was not a large hospital to begin with, consisting of only ten floors with the neurosurgery department located on the sixth floor.

Luca took the elevator and arrived on the sixth floor. She followed the hospital's signs to the neurosurgery department.

Meanwhile, Warren noticed where Luca was heading to. He reported to Luke about it while following her.

Luca approached the nurse's station and asked, "Hello, I received a phone call saying that Ms. Poplar is hospitalized here. Is that correct?"

The nurse did not even check the computer and replied to Luca when she saw her. "Finally, someone came. Are you a friend of Sarah's? Come with me."

Luca did not find the nurse's behavior strange. After all, departments like the neurosurgery department at Mercy Hospital were usually not crowded.

If someone was really suffering from any brain-related diseases, they would not choose this hospital to receive treatment just to save costs. The complexity of brain diseases required highly skilled doctors to cure. Patients would usually go to general hospitals.

Therefore, there were not many patients in the ward. It was normal for the nurse to remember Sarah.

Sarah's ward was next to the nurse's station.

Luca frowned as it was an unwritten rule in every hospital that wards located near the nurse's station and doctor's office were reserved for patients with more severe conditions.

The nurse asked again, "Are you a friend of Sarah's?"

Sarah had foreign facial features, and she claimed not to have any relatives. That was why the nurse did not consider Luca as a close relative.

"Sort of..." Luca replied and walked into the ward, where she saw the patient lying on the bed.

There was a white bandage wrapped around her head. She remained still with monitoring devices beeping while recording her vital signs. She was also attached to an IV drip.

Despite all this, Luca could not shake off the uneasy feeling. Sarah's condition was not looking good.

"What happened to her?" asked Luca.

"She was diagnosed with cerebral vascular malformation a few years ago. She was undergoing conservative treatment due to insufficient funds and took medication from our hospital. But the malformation ruptured. Fortunately, her part-time job employer brought her here, and the doctors performed surgery on her. However, the hemostasis wasn't very effective. That's just how our neurosurgery department is. Now, the doctors are recommending transferring the patient to another hospital. But her employer refuses to make that decision and hasn't taken any further action after bringing her here. Also, we couldn't contact any of her family members. The doctors said that if she doesn't undergo a second surgery soon, the chances of her waking up will be slim. But our hospital's doctors don't recommend her having a second surgery here in Mercy. We had no choice but to search her wallet. That's how we found your business card. The assistant to the hospital director called you to see if you could make a decision for her..." explained the nurse.

The nurse had to admit that the doctors' skills at Mercy were average, so she confided in Luca about their helplessness.

They wanted to save the patient, but the hospital could not do much.

The problem was that the patient had not left any contact information for them to reach her family. She was still in a coma, and she was unable to make decisions for herself.

Luca furrowed her brows and asked, "Why didn't you transfer the patient to a higher-level hospital when she was brought here?"

"Her employer said that the patient specifically mentioned our hospital before losing consciousness. After bringing her here, the employer didn't care about the surgery's result and just left," answered the nurse with a helpless look on her face.

The hospital was powerless when it came to treating a comatose patient. The doctors prioritized the patient's well-being, and they reluctantly performed surgery on Sarah.

However, the postoperative results turned out to be less than satisfactory.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2826-Now, Sarah was in a coma. The doctor in charge of the surgery and the department chair were in a state of extreme anxiety like a cat on a hot tin roof.

As for trying their best to save her life? They did not have the resources or the ability to do that.

Luca ignored the nurse's astonished gaze. She stepped forward and placed her hand on Sarah's pulse.

Her body temperature was very low, and her hand was icy cold. It was not a good sign.

Luca had seen many people on the verge of death, and none of them had warm bodies. Now that spring was in full swing, the hospital's air conditioning had cranked up the heat.

Luca glanced at the bandage on Sarah's forehead, which was stained with faint blood.

She then turned around to look at the nurse. Considering the patient's current situation, it would be the wisest choice to transfer Sarah to another hospital for emergency treatment. "Am I allowed to help her to arrange the transfer if I'm her friend?"

The nurse helplessly replied, "It wasn't initially possible to do so, but the department chair said that if you're willing to take on the responsibility and accept the risk of the transfer, it can be done." novelbin

"How can this be?" Before Luca could answer, Warren spoke up, "It's your hospital that didn't perform the surgery well in the first place. How did it become our responsibility?"

Warren recognized Sarah.

He saw her when Luca sent the money to the security guard's family back then. She incidentally helped Sarah to resolve her problem by paying her debt for her.

Warren was worried that after this incident, Sarah would know that Luca was kind-hearted and try to take advantage of her.

However, before Sarah had a chance to contact Luca herself, she received a notification from the hospital to come over.

Now, Luca was expected to take on the risk for a woman who had no blood relation to her, someone who could not even be considered a friend.

What if she died?

"Well, there's always a risk involved in transferring to another hospital." The nurse looked embarrassed and somewhat ashamed. It was true that the lead surgeon did not have the ability to handle such a complicated surgery. When Warren pointed it out, she could not argue against it.

"Fine, I'll go ahead with it. Bring the documents and I'll sign them." Luca did not hesitate. Saving a life was the priority.

Given the environment at Mercy Hospital, even if Johann came here to operate, with the equipment and everything else in the hospital falling short, it would pose limitations for him as well.

Besides, there were fewer types of medications available here compared to the hospital where Johann was working.

Luca thought to herself that Sarah must be transferred for treatment.

The nurse let out a sigh of relief. "I'll go get them now."

The documents were readily available. They only needed to be printed.

As Warren watched the nurse leave, he wore a face of disapproval. As a chauffeur, he rarely objected to Luca's decisions, but now, he had to voice his opposition as he feared that Luca would suffer a loss in this matter. "Ms. Craw, they claim that the patient has no family. But if she doesn't get better, what her relatives come looking for trouble? How will you handle that?"

Sarah's condition was critical, but she was still alive at Mercy Hospital.

What if something happened on the way to the other hospital and she stopped breathing?

It would be fine if she had no relatives, and Luca's actions were purely out of goodwill. However, if she had relatives, it was not something that could be solved with just one or two thousand dollars.

Luca did not have money, but Luke did.

However, if those people knew that Luca had Luke supporting her... Warren was worried that they would demand a hefty sum from her. He was even more concerned about the negative impact it might have on Luke.

"We can't worry about that now. Saving a life is crucial. Warren, pack her stuff. Make sure to find her identification documents," replied Luca.

Warren reluctantly followed her instructions since Luca insisted on doing so.

Even though he disagreed with it, what could he do? Luca had a kind heart. Sometimes, her kindness would bring trouble upon her, but she did not mind. What could Warren say?

He opened the wardrobe. Out of the four compartments, only one was filled with her items. It was a canvas bag.

Warren opened it and found a wallet inside. He checked it and found Sarah's identification documents.

"Dr. Craw, I found it," said Warren.

"Give me the bag and look after her. I'll go take care of the paperwork." Luca's expression was slightly anxious. She had felt Sarah's pulse and knew that if she did not undergo a second surgery to stop the bleeding today, she might not make it to see the sun tomorrow.

She quickly trotted to the nurse station.

The nurse had just finished printing the consent form for the transfer and handed it to Luca when she saw her approaching.

"I can sign it, but you must arrange for an ambulance to take her to the general hospital. Does your hospital have a naturopathy department? I need a new set of dry-needling supplies. Give them to me. I'll bring it with me when I get into the ambulance,” said Luca.

The nurse was slightly surprised. Why did she need needles?

"Our hospital's ambulance can transport patients, but can the hospital you're transferring her to accommodate the patient?" asked the nurse. Those hospitals usually required appointments. Even operating rooms were in high demand. Would they be able to schedule the surgery immediately once Sarah arrived?

"I'll make the arrangements. Just follow my instructions," replied Luca with a serious look on her face. After signing her name, she immediately contacted Johann.

"Dr. Park, I have a case of intracranial hemorrhage caused by a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. The surgery was performed at Mercy Hospital, but the hemostasis wasn't effective. I'd like to transfer the patient to your hospital for a second surgery. Can you arrange for an operating room right now? If the patient doesn't undergo surgery, she may not survive the night."

The nurse beside her was taken aback, realizing that Luca was a doctor herself after she heard what Luca said and recalled how she had felt Sarah's pulse earlier.

Johann checked the availability of the operating rooms and quickly replied, "We can free up a slot in the operating room. It'll be best if you send me the patient's medical records, previous examinations, and postoperative check-ups before you arrive."

Even though they could perform a CT scan and blood tests on the patient when she arrived at the hospital, the patient's condition was critical. He would not waste time doing those things if the previous examinations were usable.

"Alright, I'll have someone send them to your email." Luca hung up the call. As she saw the nurse standing there, dumbfounded, she urged, "Are there any other procedures to prepare? Hurry up. Time is crucial for her survival."

The nurse came back to her senses. The doctor had already granted the transfer permission and was prepared. She knew where Sarah was being transferred to, so she immediately wrote down the hospital's name and printed it out.

Luca picked up a piece of paper nearby and wrote down an email address. Then, she asked, "Is the attending physician in the office?"

"Yes.” The nurse nodded.

Luca walked into the doctor's office. There was an older doctor and a younger one in the office.

When she reached the nurse's station, she saw their promotional notices. The older doctor should be the department chair.

Luca approached the younger doctor.

"Doctor, can you please send Sarah's medical records, as well as the results of the previous examinations and postoperative results, to this email? I need to transfer her to another hospital now." Luca handed the note with Johann's email address on it to him.

"Oh, sure.” All the patient's information was in one document, so it was not a big deal. The doctor efficiently sent the entire document to the email and received an automated reply.

"Johann Park?" The doctor was startled for a moment when he saw the name. The department chair next to him also looked a little surprised. Then, he glanced at Luca.

Did she ask Johann to perform the surgery on Sarah?

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2827-The young doctor asked, "Is it Dr. Park from General Hospital?"

"Yes," replied Luca. She was aware that despite working in different hospitals, the doctors had someone they admired who were in the same field.

Johann was someone whom most doctors looked up to.

It was an admiration for his medical skills and nothing beyond that.

"Do you know Dr. Park?" the accompanying doctor asked again.

Luca could not be bothered to pay attention to such matters at the moment. The nurse's absentmindedness earlier crossed her mind, and she said, "Does your hospital have a naturopathy department? Can you arrange for a new set of dry-needling supplies for me? Please put it on Ms. Poplar's account."

"Why do you need needles?" the department chair could not help but ask.

"Ms. Poplar's condition isn't good right now. Transferring her to another hospital carries risks. If I have the needles, they might come in handy at a critical moment. I'll bear the risks. You don't have to worry about it," Luca immediately explained as the young doctor made a phone call.

After a while, a person in a white coat walked toward them and asked, "Why does your department need this for?"

Luca took it from him and walked out of the accompanying doctor's office.

The accompanying doctor did not even have time to ask about Johann. He had no choice but to turn to the department chair and ask, "Sir, do you know that woman? She seems like a doctor as well."

"There are so many doctors. How could I possibly know them all?" The department chair shook his head. He could not help but wonder.

He had been following Sarah's case for several years.

However, he had never heard of Sarah knowing such a prominent figure in the medical field.

If she knew other doctors, why would she come to their hospital for treatment? Even if she did not have money, if she knew a doctor who could vouch for her, she could have undergone surgery at that hospital.

Cerebral aneurysm was like a ticking time bomb. He had recommended several times for Sarah to undergo surgery at a better hospital.

Yet, Sarah always used the excuse of not having that much money...

Now, she was halfway into the jaws of death. It all depended on this woman's actions if Sarah could be pulled out.

The hospital quickly made arrangements for other matters. Soon, Sarah was escorted out of the ward by medical staff and onto an ambulance.

Luca decided to follow the ambulance to the hospital where Johann was.

Warren had no choice but to follow along. In the meantime, he notified Luke about it.

Luca was getting herself into trouble. Warren dared not to hide it from Luke either.

While they were on the way to the hospital, Johann called.

"I've gone through the medical records. I can clearly see the issues from the imaging and tests conducted by Mercy Hospital. Once you arrive at the hospital, we'll immediately arrange for the surgery.

Dr, Craw, how much longer until you reach the hospital?"

"Probably around ten minutes." Luca estimated the time they would be arriving. The ambulance was barreling toward its destination with incredible speed. It would likely arrive in about ten minutes.

"Good. The resident doctor will be waiting for you at the hospital's entrance," Johann responded without hesitation. He immediately prepared an operating room.

Initially, there were no available operating rooms. He had arranged for a non-urgent surgery to be postponed, freeing up the current operating room.

Now that everything was in place, they only had to wait for the patient to be transported here.

When there were a few kilometers left until they reached the hospital, the monitoring device suddenly blared out an urgent alarm.

Luca turned to the accompanying doctor and said, "Let me handle this."

The accompanying doctor hesitated for a moment. He saw Luca take out a new packet of needles.

"What are you doing?"

“Ms. Poplar is too weak now. Let me try something," answered Luca as she inserted two needles into Sarah's forehead.

The accompanying doctor was startled by what he saw.

He knew that naturopathy could save lives. This method sometimes proved to be more effective than modern medicine in critical situations.

However, Luca's choice of vital points seemed unusual...

The accompanying doctor's jaw dropped as he watched Luca's actions. He was torn between speaking up and staying silent. Could a mistake in inserting the needles worsen the patient's condition?

He held the rescue tools in his hands, ready to take over if necessary.

With utmost caution, Luca continued to insert the needles. After the third needle, the alarm on the monitoring device ceased, and Sarah's vital signs began to stabilize.

The accompanying doctor blinked his eyes, glanced at the monitoring device, and confirmed that it was functioning correctly. The alarms had indeed stopped, and all the indicators had stabilized.

Luca's needle placements seemed different from what he had learned about vital points, but it undeniably worked.

The emergency doctor asked, "Are you a doctor too?"

"No, I'm not," Luca firmly denied it. "These needles should not be removed until we reach the operating room. This way, we can buy some time for Dr. Park."

While Luca said that, she took a photo of the needles for Johann.

She could have inserted a few more needles to further stabilize Sarah's condition.

However, the points she needed to target were covered by bandages, making it difficult for her to proceed. Hence, she settled for three needles.

"But why would you dare..." The accompanying doctor grew anxious as he was worried that something might happen to the patient.

Luca remained calm and replied, "I've signed the necessary documents. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens."

As soon as she said that, she felt the vehicle come to a halt.

Both of them heard the driver say, "We've arrived at the hospital."

Then, the doors of the ambulance swung open.

Luca stepped out of the vehicle. Johann was nowhere to be seen, but she noticed the resident doctor who was with him. She nodded at him and said, "Take her straight to the operating room. Tell Dr. Park that the anesthesia was successful. He may remove the needles later."

"Alright, Dr. Craw." The resident doctor immediately caught up with the footsteps of the other nurses and hurried toward the operating room.

The accompanying doctor, who had been riding with the patient, had completed his task after bringing Sarah here.

However, he could not help but notice that the young doctor from earlier had addressed the woman next to him as Dr. Craw.

The accompanying doctor curiously assessed the situation. If she was not a doctor, could she be a professor at a medical school?

Still, she seemed too young to carry the title of professor.

Luca ignored his scrutiny and walked straight into the hospital. She had brought Sarah here, so she could not simply abandon her after they arrived.

She sat outside the operating room and waited.

Luca felt much calmer than before when she sat here again.

Sarah's situation was completely different from Wanda's.

Wanda was her aunt. Naturally, she would be more worried.

However, Sarah...

Luca believed that it would be enough as long as she did her best. She was no god, and she could not save everyone.

This happened only because Luca gave her business card to Sarah. Luca did not find it troublesome, but rather, she felt that as long as she acted according to her conscience, she could accept it no matter what the outcome was.

If Johann could not improve Sarah's condition, then there was nothing she could do as well.

If the hospital had called her a day earlier, Sarah might have had more opportunities to survive.

Now, all she could do was wait.

Warren hurried over. "Dr. Craw, has the patient been taken into the operating room?"

"Yes. Warren, please help me to handle the necessary procedures," replied Luca. She took Sarah's documents out of her briefcase. Then, she took her bank card out. "Please pay the deposit as well."

A deposit was required for hospitalization, let alone for a surgical procedure. It was only because Johann knew Luca that he granted Sarah an expedited convenience.

Otherwise, they would have had to wait until Luca finished the procedures before they could perform the surgery on Sarah.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2828-"Okay." Warren listened to her instructions. He took the identification card and bank card from her and headed toward the payment counter.

Regardless of whether Sarah was undergoing surgery or not, the deposit had to be given.

Johann had informed the staff earlier, so Warren paid the deposit easily. The staff at the payment counter did not say anything either.

After Warren paid the deposit, he returned the bank card and Sarah's identification card to Luca.

She took them and put them back in the briefcase. Even though Luca was helping Sarah, she had no intention of prying into her identity.

Sarah seemed to be in a tough situation.

Sometimes, no matter how hard a person tried to live, fate played tricks on them. That was something that could not be changed.

Luca did not look down on Sarah because she owed money to loan sharks. On the contrary, she felt that Sarah must have some unspoken secrets that made her end up in such a situation.

A person's intrinsic qualities would remain unchanged, regardless of life's dramatic upheavals.

Although Sarah seemed to be leading a difficult life, there was a hint of gentleness and a refined aura around her that Luca could faintly perceive.

No matter how destitute her life was now, Sarah must have been a person with a high level of knowledge in the past.

That was what Luca believed.

Luke arrived at the hospital around 6:18 p.m. He was in a meeting when Warren texted him.

Knowing that it was not Luca who was injured but rather that she was helping an unfamiliar woman, Luke did not rush to come over. With Warren keeping an eye on things, nothing would happen even if it was really a trap.

"Luke, why are you here?" Luca looked at him in surprise. Then, she saw Warren leaving and understood what was going on.

Although Warren was not monitoring her, it was only natural for him to report such an incident to Luke.

"Is that person still undergoing surgery?" asked Luke. He was surprised that Luca would do such a thing, but at the same time, he felt it was expected.

Luca had always been a kind-hearted person. In the past, when she saw the news report about a child from a troubled family falling ill, she took him along to visit the child and left a large sum of money for them.

After she got kidnapped and taken to the Island of Despair, although her kind heart remained, she seemed to care more about herself. She would not go out of her way to help someone without a good reason.

She became a bit more reserved...

In a place like the Island of Despair, kind-hearted people would be devoured without a trace. Thus, Luke could also understand why she had become like this.

The more he understood her, the more he could feel the heartfelt empathy and lingering guilt.

If he had protected her well, Luca would not have had to bear so much guilt.

"Yeah, she's still in surgery. It's been several hours, but brain surgery is complicated. It takes a bit longer.” Luca thought to herself that Luke did not really need to come.

She had no personal connection or emotional attachment to Sarah. Hence, she would not be too concerned about it. She did not feel as lost as the day Wannda had her surgery.

"Is Johann performing the surgery?" Even though Luke asked, he was certain that Luca must have contacted Johann.

"Yes, I contacted Dr. Park. Fortunately, he was available..." Luca thought to herself that perhaps Sarah was not destined to die.

If she had not left her business card, the nurses at Mercy Hospital would not have been able to contact her.

When she contacted Johann, he happened to have some free time.

Johann was usually very busy and hardly had any free time unless someone made prior arrangements with him. His surgical skills were so outstanding that many patients were waiting in line for him to perform surgery on them.

All these coincidences seemed to suggest that Sarah would definitely overcome this difficult situation.

"Who's that woman?" Luke was still curious why Luca would save someone like that.

Warren said it was a middle-aged woman, and he roughly explained how they had met.

Fortunately, it was a woman. If it were a man, Luke would have definitely been jealous.

Luca took Sarah's passport out of her briefcase. "She's a foreigner. We met a few times before."

Luke took it from her and opened it. However, he froze when he saw the identification photo.

"What's wrong?" His expression was too obvious. Luca immediately sensed that something was off. "Do you know this person?"

"Don't you recognize her?" questioned Luke. He suddenly remembered that Luca probably had not seen the relevant information. Therefore, it was normal for her not to recognize the person.

"Am I... supposed to know her?" Luca asked cautiously.

Luke shook his head. novelbin

Luca furrowed her brows. Could it be...

She suddenly thought of Marcos, but this woman did not look like Marcos. The only common point was that they were both from Russia.

"Is she... Mr. Marcos'..." Luca asked carefully. Luke's expression did not seem quite right. It was the only guess she could make.

"She's Marcos' biological mother." Luke exhaled slowly. He did not expect Luca to have inadvertently saved Marcos' birth mother.

Marcos was unable to find her anywhere for the past few days.

Little did he know that she was in the hospital. His mother usually had no contact with anyone else. How could he have found her?

Marcos had gained nothing after searching around, which made Luke suspect that perhaps she had heard something and thought that someone from Russia came looking for trouble. That was why she ran away.

"So it's her... I didn't see much of a resemblance to Mr. Marcos, so..." Luca lowered her gaze. She had not seen their files.

After learning that Marcos' birth mother had been targeted by their family, Luca did not let herself get involved.

If anything happened to Marcos' birth mother in the end, Luca would become a suspect if she had seen the information.

Luke did not know her true identity was Bianca. He would not believe in her wholeheartedly.

Luca suddenly felt lucky that she had made a quick decision and taken all the responsibility to bring Sarah to this hospital.

She had found Marcos' biological mother!

With this, Luke's future cooperation with Marcos would be more solid!

Although she was being forced to betray Luke's interests, she could not help but feel inexplicably happy for him after doing something like this.

Even though it was not the time for joy yet, Luca asked calmly, "Should we inform Mr. Marcos?"

"What do you think?" Luke had his own considerations and wanted to listen to her opinion.

Luca knew what he was thinking...

Sarah's condition was really critical. She had personally felt her pulse, so she was well aware of that.

Even though Johann was an excellent doctor, Sarah's condition had been delayed for so long. Even if Johann was the one performing the surgery, there was no guarantee that Sarah could be saved.

If she could be saved, then it would be a happy outcome for everyone.

However, if it was the other way around...

Marcos had always wanted to reunite with his birth mother, but if the moment of reunion was also the moment of separation, that would be hard to bear for both of them.

When Luca and Tina were his guide, she could sense the deep and strong emotions Marcos had for his mother.

He was not an abandoned child, but he had not received much maternal love either.

If acknowledging each other meant separation, it would be too cruel for Marcos. If that was the case, it might be better for him not to know about it...

"Maybe we should wait a little longer." Luca thought allowing Marcos to perpetually hold onto hope was better than saddling him with the heavy burden of pain and regret.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2829-Luke nodded in agreement to her suggestion.

Brain surgeries were complicated and required highly-skilled doctors.

When Johann was operating on Sarah, he could not help but frown at the scars from previous operations.

He was usually calm and patient in the operating room, but this was the first time the assistant, anesthesiologist, and others heard him curse, “If that f*cker can't perform surgery properly, then he shouldn't have operated at all. What the hell are these sutures? Was he trying to kill the patient?"

The assistant sighed resignedly and said, "Even the standard ten years ago would be better than this. How could this stop the bleeding?"

"Doctors like him should get their *sses back in medical school and study for a few more years," said Johann. He was angry at the doctors in Mercy Hospital for performing brain surgery haphazardly as if they were playing around.

How would this stop the patient's bleeding?

Was the patient's life a joke to them?

They were not in a rural area but in A City. How could a hospital like Mercy Hospital exist until now?

The medical interns trembled without saying a word.

Medical schools were divided into different levels. Those with good SAT scores would enter better medical schools and be assigned to better hospitals for residency. A good medical school and hospital was the best way for them to kick-start their career as doctors. As for them, they trained under a highly- skilled doctor, so they got a headstart compared to others.

However, not everyone could be admitted to an excellent medical school. If they entered an average medical school, they would be assigned to a hospital that was subpar.

Without access to better hospitals, they lacked experience and good mentors, and therefore...

The assistant sighed. "Not everyone has the privilege to have access to great medical educational resources."

Johann agreed with that statement.

However, they should transfer operations on the spot to a higher-level hospital if they were not confident. Instead, they performed the operation themselves.

Was the patient's life a joke to them?

That was the reason Johann was angry.

“How are the patient's vital signs?" Johann continued with the operation. The main concern right now was removing the blood clot in the brain and stopping the patient's bleeding.

"The vital signs are stable," said the anesthesiologist.

Johann continued to perform the operation carefully. He had to find every bleeding point, put a stop to it, and remove the blood clot and excess fluid in order to rescue the patient.

Meticulous surgeries took a long time, and by the time the surgery ended, it was already past nine in the evening.

Sarah had survived the first obstacle for now.

There were no complications during the operation, and neither was there a sudden drop in blood pressure or cardiac arrest.

Overall, it went pretty well.

Whether there would be bleeding again or other complications depended on the recovery period.

When Johann walked out of the operating room, he saw Luca and Luke.

He was not surprised to see Luke. How could Luke leave Luca sitting outside of the operating room alone?

After seeing Johann walk out, Luca went up to him and asked, "Dr. Park, how is the patient doing?"

"There's a significant amount of bleeding in the brain. During the operation, the bleeding was stopped, and the blood clot and excess fluid were removed. The patient is currently in stable condition, but everything will still depend on the recovery period. The hemorrhage was severe, so there might be aftereffects, but we can only know for sure after the patient wakes up. However, I should warn you that for patients whose treatment was delayed, there's a small probability that they won't wake up. The patient will not be sent to the ward right away. She'll be under observation in the ICU. She'll only be sent to the ward if she wakes up in stable condition," said Johann.

Although Sarah's operation was successful, they did not know when she would wake up. Johann thought that the operation had been delayed for too long.

If Sarah had been sent here to be operated on when the blood vessel in her brain had just burst, the recovery would have been relatively quick.

Luca was relieved, yet her heart felt heavy.

Johann had rescued her from the Grim Reaper, but it was still unknown what would happen to Sarah after this.

She met Luke's eyes, and he said, "Mhm."

Johann reminded them, "By the way, you should inform the patient's family in case their signature is needed."

Luca and Luke looked at each other as they were caught in a dilemma.

Sarah's only family was Marcos.

Although she had been saved, Johann could not guarantee what would happen next.

"Alright," said Luke as Luca did not reply.

Johann thought that they were acting weird. What was with their expressions?

Who was her family?

Johann did not know the answer, but he noticed how rough Sarah's skin was before the operation. She did not look like she was from a family who could indulge in skincare products. Instead, it seemed like she lived a rough life.

However, he knew that if she had lived a comfortable life, she would not have chosen to receive treatment at a small hospital like Mercy Hospital after being diagnosed with a cerebral aneurysm.

After Johann left, Luca looked hesitant.

“Let's go pay the deposit. The cost of treatment in the ICU is high," said Luke. He was not complaining about the treatment costs, but the deposit the hospital asked for previously would not last for more than a few days with the operation and ICU stay.

Luca nodded and agreed with him, so they walked to the payment counter together.

It was already nighttime. There were still many people in the hospital but much fewer compared to daytime.

There were not many people at the payment counter, so Luca could quickly pay Sarah's fees.

After that, Luca was not in a hurry to go home because the children were at Crawford Manor, so they were quite free.

"Should we tell Mr. Marcos?" she asked again.

Sarah was fine for the time being, but what about after Marcos saw her?

"Let's tell him. Marcos should see her as she overcomes this obstacle so that he won't be left with any regrets." After saying that, Luke picked up his phone to call Marcos.

Marcos was sitting in the car, watching the street view.

For the past few days, he had been thinking of going this way as he had not given up looking for his mother.

With the help of Gale's cover, no one noticed.

When his phone rang, Marcos lowered his blue eyes and saw that it was Luke, so he accepted the call. "Hello."

"Have the driver send you to General Hospital," said Luke.

Visitors were allowed in the ICU, but not after 11. If Marcos came here a little faster, he could still see Sarah.

"What happened?" Marcos had a bad feeling.

"Luca found your biological mother, and Johann just operated on her. Visitors aren't allowed in the ICU after 11, so ask the driver to drive faster," Luke said simply as he did not want to tell him the specifics over the phone.

Marcos froze. After finishing the call, he asked the driver to take him to General Hospital.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2830-It was a long distance between General Hospital and the outskirts of A City. Coupled with the heavy traffic downtown, by the time Marcos arrived at the hospital, it was already past 10:30 p.m.

There was only half an hour left before visitors were prohibited from entering the ICU.

“Where's my mother?" Out of breath, Marcos trotted over without even greeting Luke and Luca. He just wanted to see his mother's condition and confirm whether they really found her.

Luca looked at the sweat dripping from Marcos' forehead and pointed to the entrance of the ICU. "Mr. Marcos, I've already informed the nurse, so you can go in once you put on the isolation gown. The name your mother registered here is Sarah Poplar. Let the doctor know when you go in, and he'll take you to your mother's bed."

Without further ado, Marcos put the isolation gown on.

After disinfecting, the nurse let him in.

The professional doctors and nurses inside asked Marcos for the patient's name and brought him to Sarah's bed.

Marcos saw the woman lying on the hospital bed. Due to the craniotomy, her golden blonde hair was completely shaved off. Her head was wrapped in layers and layers of gauze, and her chapped lips were as pale as her face.

She was his biological mother...

Tears rolled down Marcos' cheeks when he saw how frail Sarah was. From her sunken face and prominent high cheekbones, he could tell that she had suffered a lot in the past 20 years.

Marcos asked the doctor in English, "How is my mother doing?"

"The intracranial hemorrhage was caused by a cerebral aneurysm, but it's better if you ask the doctor about the specifics." The doctor glanced at Sarah's medical records and then at Marcos.

"Can she hear my voice?" Marcos asked again.

"The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, so she can't hear you. You should go first. We'll notify you immediately if there's anything wrong with the patient," said the doctor. Visitors were not allowed to visit the ICU anymore, so he could not let Marcos stay any longer.

Marcos wanted to accompany Sarah, but the doctor did not let him, so he could only walk out with his head down.

After he took off the isolation gown, Luca noticed his bloodshot eyes.

Luca opened her mouth slightly, hesitant to speak. In the end, she could not utter any words of comfort.

She did not know how to comfort Marcos, so she looked up at Luke.

Luke said, “Johann said that we can only know if there are any aftereffects or complications after your mother wakes up."

Marcos nodded. He was not hoping for Sarah to live a luxurious life, but he just wanted her to be healthy and safe.

"Can we have a talk?" Luke looked at Luca.

"Sure." Luca knew what he was going to ask.

The three of them went to the coffee shop on the ground floor of the hospital. The coffee shop was open 24 hours a day, as if it was a place for sad people to sit in silence.

"What drink do both of you want?" Luke asked them.

"I don't want anything." Marcos was feeling down, so he was not in the mood for anything.

Luca shook her head at Luke, not knowing what to say.

Marcos and Luke were similar in many ways, but Marcos smiled at people more compared to Luke.

After what happened, his smile disappeared. Now, both of them gave off the same cold aura that pushed people away.

In the end, Luke bought two cups of coffee and a glass of juice.

The juice was for Luca as she did not sleep well at night, and coffee would make it worse. On the other hand, the coffee was for him and Marcos.

Marcos was not going to be able to sleep tonight anyway.

Luca took the juice.

Marcos held the coffee in his hands with the same expression that seemed to be filled with sadness but also full of hatred.

Luca spoke up, "Mr. Marcos, do you want to know how I met your mother?"

Marcos nodded. The sadness and bitterness in him made him speak much less.

His hatred was directed toward Matysh and his family!

If it were not for them, would his mother have lived such a difficult life?

Sarah graduated from a prestigious university and had the opportunity to further her studies, but she chose to give it up to marry his father.

Even without the support of her husband and family, she should still be able to find a decent job in A City with her education.

How could an educated and knowledgeable woman not be able to support herself?

From Sarah's condition just now, Marcos could tell that his mother had lived a rough life for so many years.

"I got to know your mother because I once bumped into her when I was carelessly walking. I was worried that something would happen to her, so I gave her my business card so that she could call me if something came up, but she didn't.

"One day, when I had business to deal with in the suburbs, I ran into Ms. Poplar, your mother. She was being chased by loan sharks..." Luca did not mention that they wanted to pimp Sarah out.

She was worried that Marcos would be triggered and look for those people to cause trouble.

What Marcos needed to do most right now was to keep a low profile. If he attracted too much attention, the people in Russia would notice.

“What happened next?" Marcos' voice was hoarse, as if he had been enduring a great amount of sadness before uttering those words.

"She didn't owe them much money, so I helped her pay it off. Then, she asked for my business card, saying that she'd return the money to me. After that, the nurses from Mercy Hospital found my business card in her wallet, so they called me to ask me to go over there. I saw that she wasn't in good condition, so I transferred her over here to receive treatment. Her condition was very bad. If she did not receive treatment in time, she might not have made it through the night, so I took the initiative..." Luca emphasized Sarah's condition.

She was worried that Marcos would think that she took the liberty to worsen Sarah's condition.

"Thank you for saving my mother." Marcos knew what happened next. He cleared his throat and took a big sip of coffee.

The caffeine in the coffee could not calm him down.

Marcos' anger was like a raging fire, setting his mind to flames.

He could not wait to go to the detention center to kill Matysh!

Back then, his mother left the marriage with nothing, but they still did not let her off the hook!

Not only did they find someone to deal with her, but that bastard, Matysh, even tainted her!

Sarah had no choice but to escape to A City. She chose to come here because she shared memories with her husband here. She was worried about being watched by the family, so she chose to lead a difficult life instead of developing her career with her skills.

She even borrowed money from loan sharks.

Marcos believed that the money Sarah borrowed from the loan sharks was not for reasons like gambling but to make it through tough times.

Luca said, "The doctors in Mercy Hospital said that Ms. Poplar's cerebral aneurysm had been growing for several years, but she refused to undergo surgery because she didn't have enough money. Instead, she took medicine and opted for conservative treatment."
