Ch. 2851..2860

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2851-"When the police come, all you have to do is hand her over to the police, and they'll decide whether Leia has committed a crime." Jack sounded stern. He did not allow any change of plans even when he was not at home.

Leia should be punished.

The public opinion of Leia all over the internet could not affect him or Queenie, so Leia's imprisonment would not affect his career either.

Even if it did, it would still be honorable for him to retire at this age.

Jack's only regret from retiring would be not being able to serve the people anymore.

Queenie took a deep breath, and her eyes darkened at the thought of what would happen if she sent Leia to the hospital.

She could not let Jack fall into such a situation.

“Okay, I'll stay home," Queenie promised.

After hanging up, Queenie continued sitting on the sofa without asking about what was going on upstairs.

As long as she did not go upstairs, Leia would not constantly be on her mind. That was what she planned to do now. Leia would not be able to affect her as long as she was out of sight.

Upstairs, Leia scratched the door. "I want to go to the hospital."

Surabaya bit the black rubber band and used her hand as a comb as she put her hair into a high ponytail. "Ms. Norman, why don't you take a break from all the yelling?"

Leia slapped the door hard, and the tingling pain spread all over her palm.

"I'll make you pay for doing this to me!" she threatened viciously.

Surabaya was unfazed. "If you don't feel well, stop making a fuss. The family doctor will be here soon."

Leia was silent.

Surabaya raised her eyebrows. Was she playing dead to trick her into opening the door?

Even if she opened the door, Leia would not be able to walk out of the house's gate.

Not to mention, Surabaya was not easily fooled.

She had gone through strict and comprehensive training under Rain. Even if Leia was deliberately not making any noise, she would still be able to hear the sound of her breathing with her sharp hearing.

Moreover, Surabaya could even determine her vital signs based on her breathing.

She put her ear to the door to make sure that Leia was breathing normally. Leia was not speaking, and neither was she.

Besides, Leia already hated her, so there was no point ruffling her feathers.

The maid went upstairs again with some fruit. “Ms. Surabaya, these fruits are sent by Mrs. Norman."

“Thanks." Surabaya took them. The Norman family had never mistreated her.

Although she was guarding Leia, the Norman family still entertained her with good food.

The maid heard movement in the bedroom, but she did not hear Leia's voice, so she asked Surabaya worriedly, “W-Why is there no sound?"

Surabaya said nonchalantly, “Perhaps she's tired from yelling, so she doesn't want to talk anymore."

The maid frowned, unconvinced. Leia used to be able to make noise the whole day, and it had not been long since she woke up...

She remembered her saying that she was not feeling well. Did she faint in there?

The maid did not say anything, but Surabaya understood her concern, so she knocked on the door and said, “Ms. Norman, today's fruits are cherries. Do you want some? They're big and sweet."

The maid tried to listen to the situation behind the door.

Leia was still silent.

The maid asked worriedly, “Did she actually faint?"

Surabaya sneered as she popped the cherry into her mouth.

The imported cherries were big, sweet, and juicy.

The maid's face was full of doubts as she did not understand what was going on.

Surabaya spat out the seed and swallowed the flesh of the sweet cherry before explaining, “Ms. Norman is fine."

“But she.." The maid knew that Leia could be trying to pull a trick, but something might have actually happened to her too.

How would Surabaya know that Leia was fine if she did not go in?

“When one encounters a bear that's not hungry, they may be able to escape by playing dead, but Ms. Norman is making a big mistake by thinking that I'm a bear." Surabaya picked up a few cherries and

played with them in her hand as she reminded the person inside, “Ms. Norman, unless you can hold your breath for two minutes, don't try to play dead. I can hear your breathing, and it sounds strong too."

After a few seconds, Surabaya said mockingly, “Hey, Ms. Norman, why is your breathing so heavy? Are you angry? The doctor said stress isn't good for the body. You should take note."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a bang from behind the door.

The maid guessed that Leia had hit the door with something.

She gave Surabaya a big thumbs up. She was so good that she could even tell from Leia's breathing whether she was unconscious.

Not to mention, she could hear it from far away.

Surabaya had another cherry. “Ms. Norman, the cherries taste great. Are you sure you don't want some?"

Inwardly, she thought, 'If Leia doesn't have any now, it'll be a long time before the next time she gets to have some.'

"F*ck off!" A roar came from the bedroom. The maid felt relieved when she heard the angry voice. Leia should be fine.

A sick person would not be able to roar like that.

"Ms. Norman, please bear with me. Dr. Cairn will be here in a bit," said the maid through gritted teeth.

Inside, Leia responded by hitting something again.

The maid shook her head and said to Surabaya, "Ms. Surabaya, there are many more fruits downstairs, so just let me know if you need anything."

"Sure, thank you," Surabaya said cheerfully.

Although guarding Leia was boring, eating good food at the Norman family's house was much better than what Anita was doing.

At least she did not have to take care of an unconscious person.

The maid went back downstairs and reported to Queenie, "From the sound of Ms. Norman's voice, she doesn't seem to be feeling unwell."

"That's good..." Queenie nodded. The thought of Leia's attempt to deceive them by pretending to be unconscious was disturbing.

Leia's action reminded her of all her previous doings.

For all types of reasons, Leia had lied and gone to many extremes.

Queenie did not know if it was the evilness engraved in her soul, her innate behavior, or if she became like this after meeting those people.

No matter what it was, it showed that she and Jack had failed to educate her.

Perhaps, it was not them who failed.

Children were free after growing up, and parents would not be able to control them at their age anyway.

Queenie recalled that after Leia entered the entertainment industry, she found success with the road paved by her family and became a big star, beloved by everyone.

However, step by step, she walked toward her demise. Now, she was hated by almost everyone.

Leia's previous works were also taken off the shelves as she was labeled as a tainted star.

Queenie thought to herself, 'Did Leia become like this because the entertainment industry is too complicated? In that environment, she met those people and.."

While Queenie was spiraling, the doorbell rang.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2852-Queenie sat on the couch. The moment the doorbell rang, she could not help but jump in shock.

The calming doorbell sound sent shivers down her spine.

Queenie looked at the maid who was going to answer the door.

The maid glanced at the people outside the door who were dressed in uniform. She knew they were the police without needing to ask. She did not immediately open the door. Instead, she looked at Queenie and said, "Madam, the police are here."

Queenie's heart sank. Her throat went dry, and her voice trembled. "Let them in."

The maid nodded and confirmed the identity of the visitors through the video doorbell camera before opening the door for the police.

In a span of a mere minute, the police officers walked in. Francis was leading the way. He should have finished his night shift and gone off duty, but this case was significant, and the chief instructed him to handle it before getting off work.

“Good morning, Mrs. Norman. I'm Officer Francis Brown. We need Ms. Leia's cooperation to investigate a case at the station. We've already spoken to Mr. Norman on the phone, and he told us that Ms. Leia is upstairs. May we take her with us now?" Francis spoke politely.

"She's upstairs." Queenie took a deep breath and looked at the maid. "Take the police upstairs."

Since they had already informed Jack, she did not need to talk to the police.

The maid nodded and led Francis upstairs.

As Queenie watched the three police officers follow the maid up the stairs, she clenched her fists tightly.

The maid led the police officers to the door of Leia's bedroom on the upper floor.

Surabaya rose to her feet and nodded at them when she saw the police officers.

Francis asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

It was difficult for the maid to explain that Surabaya was hired by Jack to look after Leia. Hence, she had no choice but to say, "She’s a guest of the Norman family. Ms. Norman is inside. I'll open the door for you."

Then, she walked to the cabinet, opened a drawer, and took out a bunch of keys.

All the keys to the various locks in Norman Residence were kept here. She needed to find the key to Leia’s room.

Meanwhile, inside the bedroom, Leia heard a man's voice and realized that it was not Dr. Cairn's voice.

Overwhelmed with fear, she kicked the door. "Who's out there?"

The noises coming from the bedroom were really loud, and Surabaya scratched her ears. "Please don't mind her..."

Before Surabaya could finish her sentence, Leia interrupted, "Surabaya, who's out there?!"

Francis frowned. What was going on?

Jack had only told him that Leia was staying at Norman Residence and they could head there to look for her if they needed her cooperation in the investigation.

Surabaya ignored Leia and explained to the accompanying police officers, "Ms. Norman has been in poor health lately, and her emotions haven't been stable. She often engages in dangerous behavior. That's why Mr. Norman locked her inside to prevent her from affecting others."

Francis nodded in realization. The sounds Leia made just now were hysterical and did not sound like the voice of a normal person.

"Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Leia felt both anxious and angry when she heard what Surabaya said.

She once had a friend who was mentally fine. However, she was a little short-tempered and disobedient to her parents. In the end, her parents used that as an excuse to send her to a mental hospital, where she was not allowed any visitors. She could not leave either.

Leia was suddenly worried. Had Jack also grown tired of her? Was he going to treat her the same way?

She remembered a TV show she had filmed before, which was related to mental illness.

At that time, she had accompanied the production team to a mental hospital for research. The hospital was relatively standard, but the various treatment methods she saw inside overwhelmed her. They made her feel oppressed and fearful.

There were even more extreme methods used in many mental hospitals to suppress patients and gain profit from their families.

Leia was scared. She trembled and pressed her ear against the door, trying to figure out the identity of the person outside.

Surabaya shrugged her shoulders and made a dismissive gesture, indicating that she was telling the truth.

Leia's words confirmed what she had just said.

Under tremendous pressure, the maid finally found the key to Leia's bedroom. "Found it!"

Surabaya, who did not want the maid to be seen as the villain, took the key from her and glanced at the police officers. Then, she opened the door.

The moment the door was almost fully open, Leia rushed out and noticed that the people standing at the door were dressed in police uniforms.

They were not from the mental hospital but the police!

Francis and another police officer quickly grabbed Leia's arms. "Ms. Norman, we're from the police station. We need you to come to the police station and cooperate with us in our investigation regarding a case."

Leia widened her eyes and stared at the officers in front of her. Her heart reverberated with a rapid, thunderous rhythm. "This is the Norman Residence!"

"We've already informed Mr. Norman. He agreed to let us take you back. Please cooperate," replied Francis, hoping she would comply while putting handcuffs on her.

The cold sensation on her wrists terrified and frightened Leia. She struggled, but she still heard the sound of the handcuffs locking.

"I haven't committed any crime. You can't arrest me."

Putting on handcuffs meant that the police had some evidence against her that was not in her favor.

Since there were outsiders present who did not belong to the Norman family, Francis did not say much. He exchanged glances with his colleagues and pulled Leia's arm to go downstairs.

Leia looked back at Surabaya's smiling face in a state of distress and shouted, "I'm calling the police!"

Francis and the other police officers were taken aback. Call the police?

"Ms. Norman, whatever the issue is, you can discuss it at the police station.”

However, Leia was determined to hold onto Surabaya and said, "I'm calling the police. This wretched woman, Surabaya, imprisoned me!"

Francis stopped and looked at Surabaya.

Jack did not mention this matter. Hence, he planned to ask about Jack's intentions after returning to the police station.

Surabaya put on an innocent face and said, "Ms. Norman, how could you say that? This is the Norman Residence. This has always been your home. How could I imprison you?

"I'm just an outsider and a guest of the Norman family. How could I possibly imprison you? Mr. Norman wouldn't have agreed to it.”

Leia's face darkened. "You're in cahoots with the Norman family. You're the ones who want to imprison me!"

Surabaya turned to the police officer. "Sir, if you don't believe me, you may ask Mr. Norman. I never intended to imprison Ms. Norman. Besides, I'm just a caretaker hired by the Norman family's old madam to take care of Ms. Norman."

Francis nodded, taking Leia's words as nonsense.

He had dealt with numerous imprisonment cases, but he had never encountered a situation where a person was held captive in their own home. novelbin

"Ms. Norman, please," said Francis while enduring the piercing sound of Leia's voice. He invited her to come downstairs.

Having dealt with so many cases, Francis had encountered plenty of people pretending to be insane or playing dumb at the police station. However, Leia's sharp voice was piercing and made his eardrums ache.

Francis secretly let out a sigh. Ms. Norman was not someone easy to deal with. He felt a headache coming on and thought about bringing her back to the police station, where the police chief could personally handle the case while he simply documented the proceedings.

Despite her strong reluctance, Leia was eventually escorted downstairs by the police officers.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2853-Queenie sat on the sofa. Leia's handcuffed hands stung her eyes.

When Leia was still young, she personally taught her how to write the names of their family members. She even taught her how to play the piano and draw.

Queenie poured all her hopes and maternal love into her.

Everything Leia could do with her fine wrists was her pride.

Yet, when did that pride turn into what it was now?

Queenie's heart ached, and her eyes immediately turned red. "Oh, Leia."

As Leia looked at Queenie's expression of compassion, she felt a wave of disgust in her heart. How fake it was!

Was she pretending to put on a show in front of the police? Would it make Leia seem even more unforgivable?

Even though Leia felt a strong aversion deep down inside, she did not reveal her true feelings on her face. Her eyes welled up with tears as she said, "Mom, save me. I don't want to go to the police station."

Queenie's heart throbbed with pain. At that precise moment, she almost asked the police officers to let go of her daughter!

However, the recording Jack played for her yesterday, along with all the evidence presented...

Queenie suppressed the urge to do so. If she were to do that, she would ruin Jack's plan and tarnish his reputation. She made the choice to prioritize her husband over her adopted daughter. "Leia,

cooperate with the police investigation. They won't accuse any good person."

Francis heard what Queenie said and slightly nodded in agreement.

Queenie was right. They would not falsely accuse any good person, nor would they let any criminals go free.

Initially, the case involving the Norman family could have been closed with Matysh involved with a criminal syndicate, but so many other people were involved now. Hence, they had to take it seriously.

Leia bit her lip. Things had come this far, yet Queenie still refused to help her.

She thought about how Queenie had let these police officers in. Leia was even detained her for so many days, yet Queenie remained indifferent. Leia knew that Queenie's so-called maternal love was utterly fake!

Leia glared at Queenie with resentment. Then, she was escorted away from the Norman Residence by the police.

Queenie collapsed onto the sofa with a pale look on her face.

Did the glint in Leia's eyes reflect her hatred toward her?

On the other hand, Luca had already received a message from Luke and knew that Leia had been arrested by the police.

When she read the message, she could not help but sigh.

Although Leia was not well-regarded by Jack after she returned to the country this time, she could still live a comfortable life as the young lady of the Norman family.

However, her heart was restless, which led her to commit such an act.

What Mandy said in the recording could prove that they were related to the Norman family's case this time.

Leia was going to prison.

Luca rubbed her throbbing forehead and flipped through the documents in front of her.

The phone she placed aside rang again. Luca looked at the unfamiliar caller ID, but she still answered the call. "Hello, who is this?"

"This is Officer Smith calling from the local police department of X City. May I speak with Ms. Craw?" A man's voice came from the other end of the line.

The local police department of X City?

Luca frowned, then recalled the incident involving Percy and the case's connection to X City. Then, she replied, "Yes, I'm Ms. Craw. What's the matter?"

The man glanced at the documents when he heard Luca speaking standard English, and he asked, "Do you know a foreigner named Amur? He claims to be your younger brother."

Luca's heart tightened when she heard the police officer mention Amur's name. Could it be that the truth was exposed and the police found out about Amur's involvement in Percy's kidnapping case?

However, Luca quickly realized that the Mallory family had not reported the incident. Percy was still in the hospital. The police were unaware of it. She regained her composure after that.

"Yes, Amur is my younger brother. What happened to him?" asked Luca.

"He got into some trouble. He's currently in our police station. We kindly request you to come and vouch for him," replied the man on the other end of the phone.

Luca was surprised. Amur got into trouble?

Even so, it would not be possible for him to be caught by the police unless he wanted to be caught.

Luca remained calm and replied, "Okay, I'll come over. But I'm currently in A City. It might take some time for me to get to X City."

"That won't be a problem. Our police station operates 24 hours a day," replied the police officer.

"Alright. Please tell me the address of the police station. I'll head over now." Luca took a pen and a piece of paper out and noted down the address given by the police.

After ending the call, Luca asked Mo Stone for a leave request form and filled in the reason.

Luca had taken numerous leaves during this period, but there was nothing she could do about it. After filling in the form, she made her way down the stairs where Warren was already waiting for her in the car.

Once she got into the car, Luca informed Warren of their destination.

Warren was surprised when he heard that they were going to a police station in X City. "Ms. Craw, why are you going to a police station?"

"My brother got into trouble, and I'm going to vouch for him," explained Luca. She had already figured it out while she was making her way to the underground parking lot. Amur would not have gotten caught by the police.

If he had been caught, it would have been intentional.

Perhaps he was carrying out a mission given by Abel.

Luca furrowed her brows at the thought of this. It reminded her of Percy's matter. She heard Luke mention that someone had fired a gun, alerting the police.

Then, the two individuals from the Island of Despair were taken away by the police.

They were charged with illegal possession of firearms, explosives, and other prohibited items...

Everything was confiscated by the police.

Not only did Abel fail to get money from the Mallory family this time, but he also suffered a significant loss himself.

The two men captured by the police were ticking time bombs. They might reveal everything under police interrogation.

Luca estimated that it had something to do with those two men.

She picked up her phone and informed Luke about her intention to go to the police station in X City to bail out Amur.

Luke asked: [Is Warren taking you there?]

Luca replied: [Yes.] She did not have the energy to drive a few hours herself, and her driving skills were not good enough for long distances.

[Okay. Safe trip.] After Luke replied to her, he noticed the time and added: [If it's too late, spend the night there before coming back. Don't rush back here.]

Even though he did not want Luca to be too far away from him, it was for her own good.

The round trip would take several hours, and if she tried to make it back on the same day, she would only arrive here before dawn.

[Okay.] Luca thought it was actually for the best. She looked at the man in the driver's seat. "Warren, do you have your ID with you?"

"Yes, Ms. Craw," answered Warren.

"I might need to spend a night in X City tonight. Let your family know about it when you're free to call them later," said Luca. Then, she lowered her head to discuss work matters with Rhett.

It was Rhett who had been handling most of her work these days.

She had no other choice. With everything piling up, she did not have the extra time or energy to deal with the initial work of this project.

Fortunately, Rhett had been with her since he entered the company. He had gained experience in handling paperwork from the first project. Hence, it was not a difficult task for him.

"Alright, Ms. Craw,” replied Warren. It did not matter where he stayed. His family was not in A City, and he was single. Hence, he did not need to report to anyone even if he did not go home.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2854-Due to the heavy traffic, it was already four hours later when Luca arrived at the police station.

She walked straight into the station and said to a police officer, "Hello, I'm Amur's sister, and I'm here to vouch for him."

The police officer's expression changed when he heard what Luca said.

The police station had detained three Russian individuals a few days ago. Two of them were held for possessing illegal weapons.

The other person was mentioned by the woman in front of him, Amur.

However, what truly unsettled the police officer was what had happened in the past two days.

According to the officer on duty that day, after Amur beat Hoffman up, he was locked up with the other two Russian men.

Although they did not engage in a fight, they kept behaving oddly by tapping on the walls.

Officer Brown suspected it was some sort of Morse code and even sought an expert from A City to decipher it. However, the expert from A City had yet to crack the code, and now another incident had occurred.

Amur did not argue with the two Russian men. Based on the surveillance records, they had minimal contact, and everything seemed calm. novelbin

However, the two Russian men collapsed after they had their lunch. Amur called for the police, and they quickly transported the two men to the hospital, but they could not be saved.

According to the forensic investigation, the cause of death for these two men was poisoning.

The traces of poison were found in their stomachs.

The police officers were perplexed because the detained individuals were all served the same lunch, and only these two men died from poisoning after eating.

They suspected Amur, but when they reviewed the surveillance footage from the past two days, other than the few seconds when Amur was briefly out of the monitored area during his initial detention, he was within the surveillance zone the rest of the time.

He only boxed and exercised...

At the same time, there was no apparent communication between Amur and the two Russian men. They did not seem familiar with each other.

Thus, the entire police station was at a loss regarding this matter.

Despite investigating Amur extensively, they had not been able to uncover anything concrete thus far.

Meanwhile, Amur had requested to ask someone to vouch for him.

The police did not have any evidence linking him to the deaths of the two Russian men. Hence, they had no choice but to comply with his request and notify Luca.

"What happened to Amur?" Luca noticed the change in the police officer's expression and worried that something had happened to Amur when she was on her way to the police station.

"Nothing. Just go through the formalities." The police officer shook his head. They had received instructions from above to keep the deaths of the two Russian men discreet for the time being. There were many procedures to handle because they were foreigners who died in X City.

"Alright." Luca nodded. Being able to go through the formalities meant that Amur was safe.

As long as he was unharmed, that was all that mattered to her.

Luca's worries eased.

The police officer took a few steps but then stopped and said to a female officer on duty, "Ms. Herrera, please assist this lady with the procedure."

Danielle glanced at the woman standing beside the police officer and secretly marveled at her beauty before nodding and replying, "Alright. Please follow me."

Luca followed Danielle to a desk.

"Who are you vouching for?" asked Danielle, knowing that their police station currently had several detainees. After all, this was the suburban area of X City, where there was more crime compared to the downtown area due to the presence of troublemakers.

"Amur. He's Russian," replied Luca.

Danielle's expression turned slightly strange when she heard the name. Without hesitation, she pulled out a folder and began processing the paperwork for Luca.

Luca also noticed Danielle's odd expression and felt even more perplexed.

The procedures were far from simple and took over 20 minutes. Finally, Luca caught sight of Amur.

Apart from looking a bit thinner, he seemed energetic, and there were no visible signs of injury on his face.

Luca glanced through the information and understood why he was detained and for how long.

It had been several days since his detention when Amur finally had the police notify her to vouch for him.

Luca understood that he was here to carry out a mission.

The two Russians who were caught by the police had probably met an unfortunate fate. Otherwise, Amur would not have contacted her.

Luca would not inquire about the details at the police station. She simply spoke to the slightly gaunt Amur, "The procedures are done. The driver is waiting outside. Let's go." "Okay." Amur nodded, following Luca as she left.

Warren parked the car across the street from the police station. When he saw Luca walking out with a Russian man, he got out of the car and opened the door.

Luca and Amur each got into the car.

Once Warren returned to the car, he heard Luca say, "Warren, find a restaurant. Let's have a meal first."

"Alright, Ms. Craw. What would you like to eat?" Warren asked, opening the map app to search for well- known restaurants nearby.

Luca turned to look at Amur. He was detained for several days, so he must have had a rough time and not eaten well.

"Amur, what would you like to eat?"

"Anything will do," replied Amur. It was the first thing he said to Luca after all those days.

Luca realized that Amur had no preferences. She said to Warren, "Just find a casual restaurant."

The taste of food in X City was similar to that of A City. Luca was not picky with food.

"Alright." Warren immediately selected a small restaurant with good reviews and ratings. After inputting the address into the navigation system, he started driving.

Luca did not speak to Amur while they were on their way to the restaurant.

Although Warren did not understand Russian, she could not possibly discuss matters about the Island of Despair in front of him.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the three of them ordered a set meal. After finishing their meal, Warren drove them to a hotel.

Luca had made a hotel reservation on a hotel booking app.

Warren, who was holding their identification documents, got the room cards for the three pre-booked rooms and handed two of them to Luca and Amur.

"Warren, you've been driving for a long time. Thanks for your hard work. Go upstairs and get some rest. We'll head back to A City tomorrow morning," said Luca as she took the room card and glanced at the room number.

"Alright, Ms. Craw." Warren pressed the elevator button.

The three of them entered the elevator without saying anything.

Warren took a moment to observe Amur from the corner of his eye. He knew that Luca had a halfbrother, but this was the first time he met him.

Having received training from Gale and Raine, Warren could observe someone keenly. The moment he laid eyes on Amur, he sensed that there was something different about his aura compared to ordinary people.

There was a faint, sweet scent mingled with a hint of blood.

Of course, this was an abstract metaphor. Warren simply felt that Amur was not an ordinary person.

He was not an ordinary person himself either. After undergoing training, he had been working under the command of Gale and Rain. He could handle a variety of tasks, and it was only because of his exceptional driving skills that he was assigned to be Luca's chauffeur.

However, when it came to executing other missions, he was equally capable and competent. He always pulled his weight.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2855-However, Warren still felt that Amur was more capable than him.

It was quiet in the elevator. Luca noticed that Warren was sizing up Amur.

She remained silent. Once the elevator reached the floor, she was the first to step out to find her room.

Luca swiped the card and opened the door to the room, but she did not enter. Instead, she looked at Amur, who was next door, and said, "Clear your mind. Rest early."

Amur's eyes darkened. It was as though he was contemplating something, but he eventually nodded, indicating that he would follow her words.

Luca was worried that he had something else to do.

However, the task given by Abel had already been completed. There would not be any immediate assignments soon.

After entering the suite, Amur first inspected the surroundings of the room.

The room was not particularly spacious. It was around 20 square meters. He searched all the places where surveillance or bugging devices might be hidden but found nothing. Then, he sat down in a chair.

This was a hotel Luca had booked, so there should not be any problems.

Amur took his phone and charger out, plugging them into the socket.

His phone was confiscated by the police when he was detained, so it was normal for the battery to be depleted.

When the screen of his phone lit up, he sent a text message to an unfamiliar number.

He informed the people of the Island of Despair that he had accomplished his mission. The two men at the police station were dead. Moreover, even if the police suspected him, they would not be able to find anything.

After a while, his phone vibrated. Amur opened it and read the message: [0317, well done.]

0317 was his code name.

Previously, when he was taken to the Island of Despair to receive training, he did not have a name. Even though some people knew his name was Amur, they still referred to him as 0317.

0316 was Luca's code name.

They started their training one after the other. Everyone on the Island of Despair called Amur by his code name except Abel. Amur was fine with it.

After all, the only ones qualified to address him by his name were Eler and Luca...

There were knocks on his door.

Amur rose to his feet and walked to the door, peering through the peephole to confirm it was Luca before opening it. "Why aren't you resting yet?"

"It's still early." Luca walked straight into his room.

Amur closed the door. It was indeed still early. Luca did not have the habit of resting so early.

"Have you checked the place?" asked Luca. Even though she booked the hotel rooms at the last minute, she still felt uneasy. As soon as she entered her room, she checked the surroundings to ensure there were no monitoring or surveillance devices. Only after checking the room did she feel relieved and come to find Amur.

"I have. It's clear,” replied Amur. While undergoing training on the Island of Despair for such a long time, they had encountered various cutting-edge technologies from around the world, and they knew the horrors of these surveillance devices.

If the Island of Despair wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation and they did not perform a check, they could be under their surveillance within minutes.

Perhaps from the moment Luca made the room booking, those from the Island of Despair already knew where they would be staying tonight.

Luca nodded and glanced at the room. Amur had already drawn the curtains. Even if someone was watching them from across, they could only rely on thermal imaging devices and would not be able to see any specific images.

Luca asked, "Your mission was to deal with those two men?"

Luca's frankness did not surprise Amur much. She was so clever that it would have been strange if she had not guessed it correctly.

"Yes." Amur nodded.

Luca took out a piece of paper from her pocket. "How did you complete the mission?"

Her graceful handwriting revealed her cautiousness. Despite checking, she was still worried about someone secretly monitoring or eavesdropping.

If she asked Amur questions and he answered, it might let someone have something on him. Having something on Amur would be a threat to him, as well as to herself.

Luca would not allow Amur to be in danger. If the other party held recordings as evidence against him, she would be forced to comply passively.

Amur took the pen she handed him and wrote down how he completed the mission.

[I got two pills from the base. You know how I got in. Then, I evaded surveillance and gave them the pills. They took the pills yesterday.] Amur quickly wrote down the words. After he confirmed that Luca had finished reading it, he swiftly got rid of the evidence.

Luca nodded. She had also suspected that Amur would use the pills.

After all, with the police officers and surveillance cameras installed there, there was no other way that was safer and more reliable.

Amur managed to walk away unharmed.

Luca's heart raced a little. Her expression turned grim at the thought of Amur using pills to deal with those two men.

The amount of blood on their hands was far more than the blood on her and Amur's hands...

That was why she did not sympathize with those two men. They were not the only ones in a dangerous situation—so were Luca and Amur.

It would be easy for Abel to abandon them. Even if she developed an antidote now, as long as the Island of Despair still existed, they would be on the run...

There were plenty of assassins who were more skilled than them on the Island of Despair.

Luca wrote another question. [Have the police investigated you?]

[They did, but they have no evidence.] Amur was clever enough. He did not make them eat the pills on the first day he was detained.

Instead, he waited several days until the police noticed that Amur, Alexsei, and Kazimir had no interaction. Only then did he allow them to take the pills he had given them in advance.

Once the effects of the poison kicked in, they were rushed to the hospital, but it was futile.

The hospital could not determine the composition of the poison that Shanks made. The only residue they could possibly find would be in their stomach fluids...

Amur believed that he had executed his plan flawlessly.

Luca let out a sigh of relief. She rose to her feet and said, "You take care of that. Also, get some rest."

"What happened to him?” asked Amur.

Luca was taken aback, not realizing who he was referring to. "Who?"

"Pierre Mallory," replied Amur. Pierre had been taken away by Luke's men. Amur did not feel any remorse or anger about it.

After all, Pierre did not manage to receive treatment for his broken leg in time.

Even though Alexsei tried to treat Pierre's leg, he was ultimately not a professional. Amur believed that even if someone managed to save Pierre, there was a high probability that his leg would be rendered useless. Even Johann would not be able to salvage his leg.

"I'm not sure about the specifics, but he's in a private hospital being taken care of now. I heard that there's a high probability that his leg is permanently damaged," answered Luca. It was Luke and Nina who relayed the information to her.

The happiest person knowing that Pierre was a cripple was Nina.

Nina decided not to argue with Pierre anymore for Percy's sake.

The person who had hurt her had received his punishment now. Nina saw it as karma, a punishment from above for Pierre.

The once lofty and esteemed second young master of the Mallory family had now become a cripple. Even if the Mallory family helped him to clean up the mess, how could he continue to be the illustrious Pierre Mallory?

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2856-"Sounds great." Amur grinned, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth.

He knew that Pierre was likely to be disabled.

"Amur, be more careful in the future. Don't take such risks anymore..." Luca did not judge him for what he had done.

After all, it was Abel's order to bring him to the base in X City, and it was Amur's own desire to disable Pierre.

Luca knew that he was seeking revenge for her.

"I wasn't exposed. It's getting late. You should go back and rest," said Amur, thinking about how the chauffeur might perceive Luca if she stayed here any longer.

Even though Warren was merely a chauffeur, Amur could still sense his aura.

He was not an ordinary driver. He was at least capable enough to serve as a bodyguard or detective.

However, Amur did not have the opportunity to test his abilities, so he was not sure about it.

Still, Warren might be observing him from outside the room.

"Well, you haven't had a good rest these days. Get some rest, and please get rid of that." Luca pointed at the paper they had just used.

Amur nodded. He picked up the paper and crumpled it in his hand.

After Luca left, he reached into his pocket and found his lighter. He ignited the crumpled paper and tossed it into the ashtray.

He gazed coldly at the flickering flames without any expression on his face.

When would he be able to escape the Island of Despair with Luca and Eler?

He had been trying his best, but it was not easy to break free from Abel. No one had successfully escaped Abel's control until this point.

Previously, nobody would risk their lives to break free from manipulation without the antidote.

Now that they had the antidote, Amur still found it challenging at the thought of the ubiquitous pursuits of the Island of Despair.

Amur sat on the sofa. The paper in the ashtray had burned to ashes, leaving only a faint wisp of smoke. The smell of burnt paper lingered in the small space of the room.

Amur did not mind it. He picked up his phone and searched for information on Pierre.

Breaking his leg did not seem enough...

On the other hand...

Pierre lay on the hospital bed. After having a conversation with Old Master Mallory, his mental state improved significantly. Therefore, when Old Master Mallory requested the hospital to let Pierre continue to stay there, they readily accepted.

As he watched Sunny hang the IV fluid bag for him, he stared at her fine figure. He could not help but have some wicked thoughts.

Pierre wondered how long it had been since he slept with a woman.

It seemed like it had been quite a while.

Ever since the shareholders' meeting at the company, where all the things he had done were compiled into a booklet and uploaded online, he had not slept with a woman.

Pierre used to change companions at a faster pace than anyone else. Even when he had a fiance, he never stopped his amorous affairs.

However, his leg was broken now. Even after his leg was treated, it would still be lame. From refusing to accept it to later holding onto hope, he now found himself looking at the young Sunny with evil thoughts.

He was not the kind to indulge in lust, but he could not bear without it either.

The head of the orthopedic department said Pierre would need to stay in bed for three months. Including the three months prior when he was evading the police, he had gone roughly four months without sleeping with a woman

Pierre's gaze grew darker.

After Sunny finished hanging the IV fluid bag, she wrote down the time on the record sheet.

As she was done, she felt a pair of eyes constantly on her. She looked up and met Pierre's gaze. She was startled.

Why was he looking at her like that?!

Sunny became alert and took two steps back. This was a private hospital, and she had been working as a nurse in the VIP wards for quite some time. She had encountered all sorts of people.

She had faced similar gazes before.

Although Pierre had decent facial features, Sunny felt disgusted by his gaze.

This was a hospital where they provided medical care for patients, not a place for indulgence. The staff did not provide illicit services to wealthy people!

Sunny turned to the caretaker and said, "This saline is for Mr. Pierre's inflammation. Be sure to pay attention and ring the bell when the solution in the bag is depleted."

"Okay." The caretaker nodded. Although she had made a mistake, she had not been fired by Pierre. Pierre's identity needed to be kept secret. They thought that news of it might leak out if his caretaker was replaced.

Therefore, Pierre did not take any action, and the caretaker who had been taking care of him kept her job.

Sunny quickly walked out of the ward.

Pierre's eyes were deep, and his gaze followed Sunny until she closed the door and left the ward. Compared to his previous women, Sunny's appearance was average at best. She could only be considered a little pretty. He used to have little interest in such women.

The only innocent woman that had piqued his interest was Nina.

However, things were different now. He had been holding back for too long. That was why when he saw Sunny, a pretty girl with a good figure, he found her somewhat intriguing.

At least she could help solve his problem.

"You, come here," Pierre raised his hand that was attached to the IV drip and pointed at the caretaker. A sting came from the back of his hand.

He had been poked with a needle in the same spot for several days. Even with the numbing effect of the drugs, his blood vessels could not withstand certain movements and he would feel a slight pain.

Still, Pierre considered himself a man, and he could endure this level of pain.

The caretaker knew that Pierre had a bad temper and hurriedly approached. "Mr. Pierre, how may I help you?"

"That nurse who came in just now, her name's Sunny, right?" asked Pierre. Even though only two nurses were taking care of him, he showed no interest in either of them before this.

He had been thinking about how to seek revenge on the Island of Despair, Luke Crawford, and Percy Mallory.

It was only today that he paid a little attention to Sunny.

Her name was Sunny. That was what the older nurse called her.

"Yes. She's Ms. Sunny.” The caretaker nodded obediently.

"What's her full name?" Pierre asked again. He knew he had to stay here for three months. He could not afford to have a boring time during these three months.

"I'm not sure about her full name. The nurses all call her Sunny. I've also heard that she's related to the hospital director.” The caretaker honestly disclosed everything she knew, unaware of the malicious intentions brewing in Pierre's mind.

Pierre raised an eyebrow. She was a relative of the hospital director?

That was why they had assigned Sunny to take care of him.

His identity was a secret throughout the entire hospital. No one knew about it.

Only those in high positions would know it. Sunny was aware of it because she was related to the hospital director.

No matter how young she was, she would not betray his identity and jeopardize the hospital's reputation.

Pierre curved his lips, revealing a subtle smile.

The caretaker suddenly felt uneasy when she saw his smile. It had been difficult enough for her to remain calm for the past few days, yet Pierre put on such a smile now.

The caretaker felt as if her emotional trauma was growing heavier with that smile on his face.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2857-Before the caretaker could say anything, the ward door swung open again.

She and Pierre looked toward the door and saw an unfamiliar face. Then, the caretaker immediately stood in front of the hospital bed, trying to cover Pierre's face with her body so that no one would notice who was on the hospital bed.

The person at the door was an elegantly dressed woman whom the caretaker did not recognize.

However, Pierre recognized her. "Mom?"

He sounded surprised. Old Master Mallory said that the mental state of his mother, Karen, was currently very unstable and that he would reach out to a psychiatrist for help. In order to prevent her from getting into trouble, he kept her at home, so Karen never visited him in the hospital.

Thus, Pierre was surprised to see her show up at the hospital.

After hearing what Pierre said, the caretaker stepped aside. Since she was his family member, she would not disclose the news that he had been hospitalized.

Karen impatiently walked to the bedside and looked at Pierre's plastered right leg. Her eyes brimmed with tears. "Pierre, does it hurt?"

Pierre saw her hand approaching to caress him, but he found it weird, so he dodged it.

He was not a woman, so he did not need this kind of sympathetic maternal love. "Mom, why are you here?"

"How can I not show up when you're in the hospital?" Karen's heart ached at the sight of Pierre's thin face.

Old Master Mallory only told her about this huge news yesterday.

Karen could not help but feel heartbroken at the thought of Pierre suffering. How did he even survive during this time?

Not to mention the Mallory family could not even make a police report because they had not found out who was behind it.

"Grandpa said that your mental health isn't doing great..." Pierre hesitated before asking, "Are you feeling better?"

Old Master Mallory said that Karen was in low spirits and had poor mental health, but he was not entirely convinced.

Karen seemed quite normal before, so how could she become abnormal all of a sudden?

He was not in the mood to inquire anyway. All he could think about was everyone telling him that his leg was going to be impaired, so he had no intention of asking about Karen's condition.

The Mallory family would not let anything happen to Karen anyway.

Karen snorted softly and turned to look at the caretaker. “We have things to discuss, so you can go guard the door. Don't eavesdrop."

"Yes, Ma'am." The caretaker looked at her elegant outfit, yet there was not a hint of kindness on her face. She dared not eavesdrop, so she immediately walked out of the ward and closed the door tightly. She took a few steps to the side and stood there.

Karen looked back at Pierre, and her loving expression changed into a serious face. Then, she said, "Can your grandpa's words even be trusted?"

Pierre raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Karen knew what was on his mind, so she snorted. "Pierre, you got into big trouble this time. Old Master Mallory tends to ignore these things, and I can't take care of things myself. After I found out you were kidnapped, I was worried about the kidnappers coming to the Mallory family for money. The Mallory family wasn't willing to pay, so I had no choice but to act crazy."

Pierre frowned as he listened to her.

"If I hadn't acted crazy, your grandfather would've just dumped it all on me. Although I'm the daughterin-law of the Mallory family, your father has never paid any attention to us, and even your grandpa thinks of me as an outsider. I may have some say in the Mallory family, but how could I control the company's finances? All the mess you've caused so far, including the kidnapping, is up to Old Master Mallory to take care of. I could only act crazy. I knew that when he realized that no one else would clean up your mess, he'd take matters into his own hands," reasoned Karen.

Pierre was still curious.

Old Master Mallory was not particularly happy when he mentioned Karen.

It would have been understandable if Karen pretended to be crazy for just a few hours a day, but how long was she able to pretend?

Old Master Mallory said that she spent almost 18 out of 24 hours a day making all sorts of noises in the bedroom.

The level of insanity was unbelievable.

At that time, Pierre even felt that if Old Master Mallory had not been worried about the reputation of the Mallory family, he might have sent Karen to a psychiatric hospital.

It was their reputation that stopped him.

Pierre also recalled that Karen had experienced extreme mood swings some time ago, and her mental state had been poor, especially after she got mad at Percy.

According to the maid at home, Karen would either suffer from insomnia or get nightmares in her sleep. Either way, it was not good.

However, she was not insane.

Karen could sense that Pierre did not believe her, so she quickly said, "You still don't believe me? If I really was as crazy as Old Master Mallory described, would I have recovered this fast?"

Pierre agreed. Karen did not look like someone who was mentally unstable.

She was speaking logically and explaining why she acted that way during that time, and a mentally unstable person would not get better all of a sudden.

Even if Karen became like that because she was worried about him, she would not be able to act as if nothing happened right after finding out that he was fine.

Pierre nodded. "As long as you're fine, Mom."

Karen looked at Pierre's haggard face and sighed. "Old Master Mallory ordered the maids at home to not mention you in front of me to not affect my mood. I thought you were still kidnapped, so I went even crazier. Today, Old Master Mallory said you were in the hospital, so I stopped acting. I immediately came to the hospital to see you."

Pierre frowned. She stopped acting?

Now, he was starting to think that acting crazy was not such a bad idea.

"Mom, now that you're fine, will Grandpa ignore me?" Pierre had not forgotten what Old Master Mallory had promised him when he got mad.

Now, it seemed that Old Master Mallory's actions were just to ease the dilemma he was in.

Besides, he was making a fuss in the hospital while Karen was making a fuss at home.

In the end, Old Master Mallory had to suffer from both their actions.

Old Master Mallory was caught in the crossfire, so he went to the hospital to talk to him.

Karen shook her head. "What are you afraid of? Even if I'm not crazy, Old Master Mallory will help you deal with this! Don't worry, just get well soon. Old Master Mallory will have things taken care of when you're discharged."

Although Old Master Mallory had retired for many years, he was still capable.

He was rich and well-connected.

He was definitely able to clean up this mess Pierre had caused.

Unless Old Master Mallory wanted Pierre to go to jail, there was no way he would ignore this matter.

Right now, Old Master Mallory was keeping Pierre's recuperation a secret, so it did not seem like he would ignore his grandson.

Pierre nodded. Just three months.

"Mom, thank you for everything you've done for me during this time." Pierre's words of appreciation were sincere.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2858-Tears filled Karen's eyes.

She wiped away her tears and said, “Oh, it's nothing. You're the one who's been having a hard time..."

Karen's gaze fell on Pierre's right leg. After Old Master Mallory noticed that she had calmed down, he told her about Pierre's condition and said that his leg would most likely go lame.

Of course, Karen could not accept that outcome. How could the son she was so proud of become a cripple?

If Pierre really became disabled, she reckoned that many people would want to see her and Pierre become subjects of ridicule, including that foreign blonde bitch, the Crawford family, and others.

"Pierre, I understand how you feel, so don't worry. When you can get up from bed, I'll find the best physiotherapist in the whole country—no, the whole world. You'll be fine!" Karen wiped away the tears that fell.

Percy had completely betrayed her, so only Pierre was left. She could not let the only child she had left be ridiculed by others.

Pierre glanced at his right leg. Johann said that he would be disabled!

No, there was no way that would happen!

"Mom, I need to wait three months before I can get out of bed and move around. Before that, I want the Crawford family to suffer," said Pierre.

He remembered who had saved him.

They were Luke's people!

Luke's people might have known where he was being held from the start, but they did not come to rescue him until the kidnappers demanded a ransom.

When he was in a daze, he heard people around him discussing that if he had been sent to the hospital for surgery earlier, his leg would not have gone lame.

Luke was directly related to his injury!

Speaking of the Crawford family, Karen's face turned sullen. She held the railing of the hospital bed that was used to prevent the patient from falling.

Her voice was deep. "Don't worry. I'll never let whoever hurt you get away with it."

It was just Luke. She did not believe that after living all these years, she could not defeat Luke!

Pierre frowned at the thought of him gaining more enemies, and he had a faint feeling that he would not be able to handle it.

He had to have the Mallory family in the palm of his hand before he could deal with his enemies one by one!

“Mom, what's your plan? Let's take care of the Crawfords first." Pierre asked, wanting to know how Karen was going to take care of Luke and his people.

Karen knitted her eyebrows together as she did not have a plan. Pierre could tell from her face.

Then, a serious look flashed in his eyes, and he pointed out to Karen, “Luke has a woman, and the Crawford family's old master knows about it. How fun would it be to let him watch this woman ruin Luke?"

Old Master Crawford once stood up for Luke by confronting him with the stolen tender, so he hated Old Master Crawford too.

However, Luke was the grandson he took pride in.

Pierre thought that as long as he defeated Luke, Old Master Crawford would break down, so there was no need to attack him directly.

Karen patted the railing with a curious face. “That woman? Are you sure she's that significant?"

Would such an intelligent person like Luke walk into a trap for a woman?

On the contrary, Karen felt that if something happened, Luke would definitely give up on that woman, Luca. When that happened, all of their efforts would be in vain.

Pierre squinted and said through gritted teeth, “He won't just give up on that woman."

Although investigations showed that she was just an ordinary woman, Luke treated Luca the same as how he treated Bianca back then.

Pierre was not surprised that Luke was able to love Luca like how he loved Bianca.

A man like Luke would definitely look down on a whore like Bianca after she was tossed around like that.

Bianca fell out of favor, so it was expected that another woman would replace her.

Karen was doubtful, but seeing Pierre speak with such certainty aroused her curiosity. Did Pierre know something she did not?

"Alright, we'll start with that woman." If that were the case, Karen trusted Pierre.

Dealing with the woman beside Luke was much easier than dealing with Luke himself.

Pierre nodded and said, “There's information that may come in handy in the bottom drawer of my desk at the company."

He remembered what Luca had done to him, so Karen's decision to deal with her was according to his own wishes.

Karen was a little taken aback. “You've wanted to deal with that woman from the start?"

“That bitch, Luca, has humiliated me too many times. I'll never let her get away with it easily." Pierre's face was gloomy. He had obtained the information early on, and if it were not for the distractions along the way, Luca might have already been destroyed during his fight with Percy.

“Sure. Don't get too worked up." Karen was worried that he would hurt himself if he got too worked up. She immediately reassured him, saying, "Don't worry about it, I'll make that woman suffer. I won't let anyone who has ever hurt you off the hook. I'll go get the information tomorrow, so don't think about it too much. Just focus on recovering."

She felt a little sad looking at Pierre's leg.

Although his bones had been rejoined, his recovery was unpredictable.

Pierre noticed that she was looking at his leg pitifully, and he got upset.

He did not need her sympathy because he was confident that he would recover.

"Mom, you should take care of your health too. Don't get too emotional," said Pierre.

Although Karen said that she was faking it, he still had doubts. After Percy cut ties with them, he could feel that something was wrong with Karen every time he called.

It was not hysteria but depression.

She would talk anxiously, and she was not able to lift her mood.

Thus, Pierre felt that Karen was dealing with some mental issues, and the best way to treat her was to find a psychiatrist.

Karen could not collapse. She was his last stand in the Mallory family, so if she collapsed, Old Master Mallory might completely abandon him.

Old Master Mallory had always felt guilty toward Karen because his son, Pierre and Percy's father, cheated on her. However, Karen did not divorce him. Instead, she stayed with them and took care of the family and her two children.

Old Master Mallory had always remembered this, so, of course, he felt guilty.

Pierre wanted to take advantage of Old Master Mallory's guilt toward Karen to gain a strong foothold in the Mallory family again.

"As long as you're fine, I'll be fine," said Karen while shaking her head. Ever since Percy went against her and insisted on being with that bitch, Nina, she gave her everything to Pierre as if she had never given birth to Percy.

The maid at home said that when Pierre was kidnapped, Old Master Mallory's relationship with Percy got less tense, but she did not care about making amends with Percy at all.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2859-"Mom, we need to stay calm during this period of time. We can't let Grandpa find out what we're up to," said Pierre.

Based on what Old Master Mallory had said, he should not do anything that would go too far to avoid arousing suspicion.

"I know. Don't worry. Old Master Mallory is focused on helping you to deal with your matters. He won't pay much attention to what I'm doing," reassured Karen.

A knocking sound echoed in the hospital ward. Pierre reluctantly looked toward the door. Karen turned to look at the door too.

Sunny knocked on the door before pushing it open. Then, she said to the visitor in the wardroom, "Excuse me, it's already ten o'clock at night. It's past the visiting hours. Please leave as soon as possible."

Since Pierre had a caretaker, no one else was allowed to stay overnight here.

If she did not notify them, they would be in violation of the hospital regulations.

"Okay. I got it." Karen withdrew her gaze, tucked Pierre's blanket, and left hesitantly.

Sunny could not help but mutter to herself when she saw Karen. Pierre had just broken a leg. There was no need to show such reluctance to leave...

After Karen left the wardroom, Sunny closed the door, planning to head toward the nurses' station. However, she noticed that the moment Karen left the ward, she took out a hat and mask from her designer handbag.

It seemed like she did not want to be recognized, just like Old Master Mallory.

It seemed that the Mallory family was very careful in protecting Pierre.

Sunny mumbled to herself and recalled Pierre's gaze just now. She could not have mistaken the look on his face. That man had lewd intentions.

She was reluctant to be Pierre's nurse now, but the fact that Pierre was in the hospital was confidential information.

Even if she complained to the hospital director, he would not replace her and let the other nurses or the head nurse take over her shift.

Sunny felt helpless. After all, being wealthy did not necessarily equate to having good manners.

Now that Pierre could not leave the hospital, and it was impossible to change his nurses. Sunny could only be grateful that he had a broken leg. He would not be able to move or do anything to her at the moment...

Perverted old men and wealthy heirs were equally disgusting.

While Sunny was consumed by these thoughts, Karen suddenly turned back and handed her a business card.

"Are you my son's attending nurse?" Karen sized Sunny up without much expression on her face. She was merely scrutinizing her.

Sunny was stunned for a moment. Then, she lowered her head and glanced at the business card in her hand. She saw the name Karen Ruiz.

Sunny looked up, nodded, and replied, "Yes, Madam Mallory. The head nurse and I are Mr. Pierre's attending nurses."

Madam Mallory glanced at Sunny's name badge that read Sunny Arlyn and took note of the name.

"Keep my business card. Call me immediately if anything happens to Pierre," said Karen. She was worried that the hospital would only inform Old Master Mallory and he would not tell her about it.

She needed to know Pierre's situation.

"Alright, Madam Mallory." Sunny nodded and agreed. Still, she could not help thinking that the Mallory family was indeed peculiar.

"Please inform the head nurse as well. Inform me if anything happens. I'll file a complaint with your hospital's administration if I find out that you didn't," Karen threatened her before turning away and leaving.

Sunny returned to the nurses' station, silently watching Karen from behind.

She was not afraid of Karen lodging a complaint against them.

The Mallory family was keeping Pierre hidden away securely. If Karen complained, it would expose Pierre, who was receiving treatment in the hospital, to everyone.

"Sunny, is that woman one of the family members of that mysterious patient?" A nurse walked out of the office and saw Karen leaving.

She frowned as the figure seemed familiar to her.

However, when she saw Karen's designer handbag, the nurse did not dwell on it. Wealthy wives from affluent families always carried themselves with grace, paying extreme attention to their appearance and demeanor.

Sunny nodded and moved the tablet on the desk aside.

When she turned it on, a web page appeared, displaying Pierre's information on the screen.

After leaving Pierre's ward earlier, Sunny felt disgusted. Hence, she picked up the tablet and started searching for information about him.

She had never thought of investigating what kind of person Pierre was. However, after she noticed his unsettling, lascivious stare, she realized that knew nothing about him.

As she read the content on the screen, Sunny's face turned gloomy. He truly was a playboy!

It seemed she would have to be cautious whenever she went to change Pierre's dressings in the future. She would have to keep her distance as far as possible!

"The family is extremely mysterious. Anyone would think that they're the family members of some political figure!" exclaimed the nurse.

Even though their hospital was not as famous as the general hospital, the doctors and nurses here had better skills and qualifications compared to several other private hospitals.

Patients who sought treatment here belonged to the upper echelons of society, especially those on this floor. Their status was even higher than the average wealthy individuals.

"Is it possible for political figures to come to our hospital?" Sunny closed the web page and cleared her search history to ensure others would not see what she had searched.

"You're right." The nurse glanced at her side profile. "Sunny, you look awful. Are you feeling unwell?"

"I've been taking too many night shifts. How could I look well?" Sunny was also a woman who cared about her appearance. She touched her face when she heard her colleague's comment.

"You're right. I'll keep an eye on the call bell for you tonight. You may rest. I'll call you if the bell rings.” The nurse nodded, feeling sorry for Sunny.

Even though the others would also have to work night shifts at times, they took turns. Sunny had been on night shifts continuously these days. Her disrupted sleep schedule left her feeling groggy and disoriented throughout the day. Besides, she had not taken a day off. That was why she was exhausted.

"Thank you." Sunny felt that she needed a nap. However, when she thought about Pierre, who was still hooked up to an IV bag, she shook her head. "No, I can't. I'll have to wait for a while. The patient is still receiving medication. It'll probably take another ten minutes."

She glanced at the time, estimating the time Pierre would finish his IV. Then, she propped her chin up and wore a helpless expression. "If I had known it would be this troublesome, I wouldn't have agreed to take on this assignment from the director."

The nurse also looked at Sunny with a helpless expression. "Although working the night shift is tough, you're lucky. At least the patient sleeps during the night and doesn't keep you busy. The head nurse is overwhelmed during the daytime. She has been working for so many years, taking care of countless patients. But when it comes to your patient, she shakes her head repeatedly and says it feels like she's back to her early days of working. It's really chaotic."

Sunny let out a sigh again. Becoming Pierre's attending nurse alongside the head nurse was not easy for them!

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2860-On the other hand...

A patient with blood all over his head was brought to the emergency department of the general hospital.

As soon as the doctor and nurses saw the patient being wheeled in, they immediately sprang into action to save him.

The outpatient nurse noticed that the patient was still wearing handcuffs. She could not help but pause for a moment. "What's going on? The handcuffs need to be removed."

Francis, who was nearby, took out the key and stepped forward to unlock the handcuffs. However, for safety reasons, he still handcuffed one of the patient's hands to the bed. "Her name is Leia Norman. She's an important suspect, and she got injured from hitting a wall."

The nurse frowned. The name sounded familiar. "What about her identification card?"

"There's no identification card, but please save her first," replied Francis. He was just about to finish his shift, but the police officer from the detention center rushed out and said they needed to call an ambulance.

When he went in to check, he found out that Leia hit herself on the wall.

The impact seemed to have drained all her strength. It even left a small dent in the wall. Leia was seen on the ground with blood streaming down her face.

Francis dared not to leave work. She was the daughter of the Norman family. Even if it was eventually confirmed that she had committed a crime, they could not let anything happen at the police station.

Otherwise, they would all be held accountable.

Therefore, he followed the ambulance to the hospital.

"She doesn't look too good. We can't check her medical history if there's no identification card. Who will take responsibility if anything happens when we're rescuing her?" The doctor beside them noticed that Leia's complexion was not just the result of excessive blood loss.

It was more like she already had some underlying condition...

If she had any preexisting conditions, they dared not to administer medication without caution.

Francis furrowed his brows as he suddenly recalled Leia's extreme lack of cooperation earlier. Then, he said, "She was admitted to your hospital not long ago. Can't you find her records by searching her name?"

The nurse next to him looked at Leia's bloodied face and furrowed her brows. "There are too many people with the same name and surname. Which department was she in?"

The doctor examined Leia's wound, which, although bloody, was not very deep. Considering she had hit a wall, the doctor made a decision. He turned to the nurse and said, "Go and find out her identity. It would be best if her family members could come to the hospital as well. The rest of you, push her to the CT scan room. She needs a brain CT scan to confirm if there's any head injury."

After the doctor said that, a few nurses worked together to push Leia toward the CT scan room.

As Francis watched them move Leia away, he thought of calling his colleague who had previously taken Leia's statement to inquire which department she had been admitted to. However, he saw the doctor turning back and reaching out his hand. "We can't do the CT scan with the handcuffs on. Can one of you come and unlock them?"novelbin

Francis handed the key to his colleague who came along with him and said, "Go. Make sure she doesn't escape."

"Alright." The police officer took the key and followed the doctor out.

The nurse, who stood beside, urged him, "Officer, can you remember which department she was in?"

"Let me make a phone call to confirm that," replied Francis as he picked up his phone and called his colleague, disregarding whether the person was off duty at this time. Right now, his priority was to ensure Leia's safety.

He confirmed that Leia had been in the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department and relayed the information to the nurse.

The nurse suddenly realized and replied, "No wonder I found this name familiar. She's Mr. Norman's daughter, right?"

Leia's name had already echoed throughout various departments of the hospital. The doctors in the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department, especially her attending physician, complained endlessly after receiving Leia as a patient.

Meanwhile, doctors and nurses from other departments were relieved that Leia was not under their care. Otherwise, they would also be in the same unfortunate situation.

After confirming Leia's identity, the nurse quickly walked to the nurses' station to retrieve her medical records. Then, she hurriedly made her way to the CT scan room.

Francis followed along.

The nurse saw him following behind her and said, "You must notify her family about this. It's fine if there's nothing serious. But if her head is injured and she requires surgery, her family will have to sign

the consent form. Brain surgery can't be delayed."

Francis nodded in agreement. He would do what the nurse told him. After all, it was their negligence that allowed Leia to hit the wall, which was beyond their expectations.

They thought Leia valued her own life.

However, they never expected that Leia could be so cruel to herself.

"I'll notify them right away," said Francis as he followed the nurse to the CT scan room. He took out his phone and dialed Jack's number.

The phone's ringtone echoed in the study late at night.

Jack was reading the documents related to a tender. Before he could rest, his phone rang. He took off his glasses and answered the call.

Francis' name appeared on the phone screen.

When Francis first contacted him, they exchanged numbers with each other. It was to make it convenient for him to contact Jack if there was any cooperation needed.

However, Jack had a bad feeling about receiving a call from Francis at this hour.

Francis was an experienced police officer. He would never call him at a time like this without a reason.

He pressed the answer button. "Yes, this is Jack Norman."

"Mr. Norman, Ms. Norman knocked her head on the wall while she was detained and is currently undergoing emergency treatment at the general hospital. The situation is unclear at the moment, and she's still undergoing examinations. I'm sorry, but can you come over?" Francis could not be bothered

to consider the fact that calling Jack at this hour might disturb him. After all, he could not afford to let anything happen to Leia.

"I'm on my way," Jack replied calmly without thinking much.

Leia hitting a wall was beyond his expectations.

Leia had the greatest fear of pain...

After ending the call, Jack prepared to call his driver. It was too late at night, and he seldom drove the car himself. Driving late at night was dangerous. It showed irresponsibility toward the citizens, as well as toward himself.

After he asked the driver to come, he pondered for a moment and decided to inform Luke as well.

Even though Luke did not like Leia, as the son-in-law of the Norman family, it would be quicker for him to go to the hospital than Jack, who had to wait for the driver to arrive.

Leia's condition might be dangerous at the moment. He could not dwell on it too much.

After the call connected, Jack went straight to the point. "Luke, I need you to go to the hospital right away. Leia hit her head on the wall at the police station. She's currently undergoing emergency treatment there. You're closer to the hospital than I am, so please head there now. I'll have to wait for the driver to arrive."

Luke's current residence was closer to the hospital than Jack's.

"Alright. I'm on my way," replied Luke without a second thought.

As Jack stood up to get dressed after ending the call, he noticed Queenie was standing by the door. Her face was pale white, and she was holding a tray.

When did she arrive? Jack was too engrossed in his conversation on the phone, and Leia's situation had distracted his thoughts. He did not notice Queenie's footsteps.

A bowl of oats rested on the tray, still steaming. It was a late-night supper that Queenie had prepared for him.

"Dear, did something really happen to Leia?" Queenie's body wavered. Her footsteps were unsteady as she weakly leaned against the doorframe, preventing herself from toppling over.
