Ch. 821..830
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 821-That Scene Made Everyone's Jaw Drop!
Bianca's field of vision was blurry, though her eyes eventually focused on Luke's handsome face.
She would have thought that she was still dreaming, if not that she could clearly feel the intense warmth of Luke's body.
She opened her cracked lips and said hoarsely, "L... Luke."
Luke pressed his lips together and replied to her softly, "Good girl, I’m here."
He tried to hold back the agony in his heart.
Suddenly, Bianca began to struggle in his arms. Then, she clenched her fists, and punches landed on Luke's body like raindrops!
"Why did you only come now? Don't you know how afraid I was? If you had come one second later, the children and I would be gone forever... Don't you know, I broke down when I saw them injecting our children with drugs ... I kept on calling your name, but you did not appear. I was in despair!"
Her eyes were bloodshot as she punched and kicked Luke with all her might.
Everyone was shocked by that scene.
They knew that Luke was the Cold-Faced Devil and was notorious for his cruelty and ruthlessness. Moreover, if he had not appeared in time, the woman would not be alive by now. Why was she not grateful but instead was punching and kicking him?
Was that woman tired of living?
They had heard that Bianca was Luke's beloved wife, but now that she had been violated, would Luke still love her? They expected Luke to be angry when Bianca humiliated him in front of everyone there.
Some people were also guessing that he might abandon her and leave straight away.
The ensuing scene made everyone's jaw drop.
Luke continued to hug Bianca tightly, and there was no hint of anger on his face. He even held her hand tightly and used it to slap himself hard several times. His tone of voice remained gentle.
"It's all my fault. I should have come earlier so that you and the children wouldn't have to suffer. If slapping me can't make you feel better, then you can punish me however you want."
He took off his coat, wrapped her up, and picked her up in a bridal carry." Let's go home, Bea..."
Everyone was speechless.
'What's going on?
'Don't tell me the Cold-Faced Devil is afraid of his wife?'
Kassy crawled on the floor, not caring that she left behind two bloody trails, and glared at the couple resentfully. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Her eyes were opened so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets.
She could not believe that Luke could show so much love and patience to a woman.
Luke did not even allow her to touch him.
Now the woman was punching and kicking her in front of everyone. He did not become angry, but he continued to shower his love on her. She could not imagine how that noble man could tolerate that
woman.
Why was he like that?
She could not understand it!
She had saved his life and did everything to win over his heart for two years. Was that not enough?
She regretted not killing Bianca sooner. Why did she have to delay?
Bianca felt her mental defenses crumble as she leaned onto Luke's muscular and warm chest. Her tears began to fall.
"They injected drugs into our children, Luke. Please check on them. I'm afraid that something might happen to them..."
Even though the leader of the thugs had told her that he had swapped Kassy's drugs, Bianca did not fully believe it. After all, he was not a good person, and Bianca was afraid that the drugs might have harmful side effects.
She turned her head toward where the children were but saw that Gale, Rain, and Jason had already picked the children up and placed them on a wooden bed nearby, while Johann, dressed in a doctor's coat, was already examining them.
After Johann finished his examination, he smiled at Bianca and said, "Don't worry, Sis. The kids are fine. They're only injected with regular tranquilizers. The dosage is a little high, but they'll wake up after some time."
Bianca was relieved after hearing Johann say that, though she could not help but ask nervously,"... Will there be any lasting side effects?" "Don't worry. The dosage might be high, but it's a common drug, and
there won't be any side effects. Just make sure they get enough rest, and they'll be fine in two days."
Kassy's murderous glare turned toward the leader of the thugs. If looks could kill, there would have already been holes in the man's head.
"Normal tranquilizer? Blackhook, I told you to inject Neurax III into them, but you only injected tranquilizers? How dare you deceive me!"
Blackhook, the leader of the thugs, did not say a word, though his eyes told everything.
Kassy almost lost her mind at that instant. "Ah... even you have deceived me! Did that b*tch seduce you, and that's why you spared her b*stard kids?
I regret asking you for help, and I regret even more that I didn't kill that b* tch earlier! Traitor, you d*mned traitor! I'll kill you!"
Luke narrowed his gaze when he heard the filthy language from Kassy's mouth.
He gazed at the leader of the thugs whom Kassy had called a traitor, then at everyone else in the factory. "Don't leave anyone alive!" He ordered Gale and Rain.
Gale and Rain nodded and replied coldly, "Yes, Mr. Crawford. We'll clean everything up."
Kassy had never felt such fear in her life. She dragged herself toward Luke. The trail of blood behind her was spine-chilling.
As she crawled, she shrieked, "I know that you're only trying to scare me, Matthew. You won't kill me, right? Even if you don't consider the fact that I've saved your life, you should at least consider the fact that I've taken good care of you for the past two years. You won't be that merciless... Why won't you look at me, Matthew? Please?"
Two of Luke's mercenaries kicked her aside as though they were kicking a football.
Kassy’s sorrowful cries seemed to have made Bianca come to her senses.
She tugged Luke's shirt sleeve and whispered something into his ear...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 822- Safe At Last
Bianca pointed at the leader of the thugs and whispered into Luke's ear, "I wasn't violated, Luke. The man they call 'Blackhook' told me to put up an act with him. He was also the one who swapped the drugs that they inject into our children. Can you... spare his life?"
Luke furrowed his brows. He glanced at Bianca's pale face, then at the tanned and impassive leader of the thugs.
He hesitated for a second before ordering Gale and Rain, "Spare the man named Blackhook. Kill everyone else!"
Gale nodded, and a perverse smile appeared on his young face. "Don't worry, Mr. Crawford. I'll let them experience a fate worse than death!"
Gale and Rain grew up on the Island of Despair. They had vivid memories of the cruel methods of punishment there.
Luke continued to walk out of the factory with Bianca in his arms, casting a proud and invulnerable shadow behind him.
The sharp-faced thug covered his head and trembled as he stood next to Kassy. "What should we do now, Ms. Kassy?"
They were at a complete disadvantage. Luke's mercenaries had brought all sorts of heavy weaponry to fight them. There were the grenades that had broken their defenses, the rocket launchers on the mercenaries' shoulders, and many heavy machine guns.
He had never been so afraid before.
Kassy's heart sank further into despair as she watched Luke leave. "Don't go, Matthew! How can you treat me like this? You won't kill me, I know it... please, don't leave..." She roared with all her might.
Gale stepped over and stood in front of her, blocking her way. "Please stop resisting, Ms. Kassy!" "Get lost, Gale, you traitor! You're only a lowly minion in the League of Shadows. How dare you stand in my way?" Kassy spat a mouthful of blood and saliva at him and tried to claw him with her razor-sharp fingernails."
Get out of my way!"
She tried her best to crawl forward before two mercenaries picked her up by her arms and tossed her onto a pile of scrap metal as though tossing a bag of garbage. She was temporarily disoriented from the fall.
Bianca glanced at Kassy, then at her crippled legs. That woman who had been as proud as a peacock, but she was incomparably pathetic now.
The blood trails that she left as she crawled on the floor were horrifying to look at...
Thinking that Kassy had once saved Luke's life, Bianca began to feel pity for her. "Luke, how about we... spare her life too? The children and I suffered a huge fright, but we weren't really hurt. After all, she once saved your life. If not for her, I might not be able to see you again... Why not treat this as returning your debt of gratitude to her? I don't think you'll be at ease if you kill her." i
Bianca was worried that Luke's conscience might not allow him to kill that woman.
The man might seem merciless, but Bianca knew that he had a kind heart. He would not be able to disregard the fact that Kassy had saved his life.
More importantly, if Luke killed Kassy, his reputation among the general public would fall even further, and that might cause T Corporation to lose business.
Luke thought for a while before gently kissing Bianca's hair fringe. "Alright, I'll listen to you. However, I might spare her life, but she won't go unpunished. She'll have to pay the price for abducting you and our children! If I came any later, you and the children would have been killed. I'll let her have a taste of her own medicine. She enjoys seeing you being violated, right? I'll make sure that she won't be able to see a thing for the rest of her life!"
The man's voice suddenly sounded cold and hostile. When Kassy heard that, her entire body started to shake violently.
"Please, no, Matthew, I was wrong. I swear that I won't do it again. You've already crippled me. You can't take my eyes away too, please..."
Luke ignored Kassy's sorrowful wails and walked toward the helicopter.
Bianca curled up in Luke's embrace, feeling Luke's strong and warm presence around her. Her wilted heart was slowly reviving.
They had not left the factory for too long before Bianca heard a bloodcurdling cry come out from inside.
The cry sounded like it was made by a ghost, and it had pierced the skies.
The cry was cut short, as though someone had gagged the woman's mouth.
Bianca began to shiver and leaned closer to Luke.
The man hugged her tighter when he sensed her fear. "Don't be afraid. No one will harm you anymore. If there's anyone who dares to harm you, I'll make sure that they suffer!"
On the private plane, Luke placed Bianca on a soft bed, and Johann came to examine her.
With Luke next to her, Bianca was fully at ease by then.
She was already at her physical limit after trying to put on a strong front for so long.
Suddenly, she remembered her three children that were also brought up on the airplane. She held Johann's hand and said weakly, "Please tend to the children, Johann. I'm fine, but I'm afraid that something happened to them ... Luke, can you bring me to see the children?"
She sounded almost like she was begging.
The man had placed all his attention on Bianca and had not cared about his children at all. That made Bianca wonder if he was actually their birth father.
Luke shot a glare at Johann when he saw Bianca holding Johann's hand.
That made Johann break out in a cold sweat.
He chuckled drily and pulled his hand away. "Don't worry, Sis. Other doctors are attending to the children. I've already examined them, and they're really fine. We've already sent a sample of the drugs to the lab for analysis. You look like you’re in pretty bad shape, though. I should treat you as soon as I can. Otherwise, it'll leave a scar."
Luke shot a cold glance at Johann and said, "Leave the medicine here. You can get lost."
He waved his hand, and everyone else in the room left. After he locked the door, only he and Bianca remained in the luxury cabin...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 823- That Delectable Man
Bianca finally fell asleep around midnight.
While on the plane, Luke had cleaned her in the airplane's bathroom, changed her into a set of comfortable pajamas, and applied ointment on the bruises of her body.
Luke leaned on the headboard, holding a cigarette between his fingers.
He wanted to light it, but after realizing that Bianca was very sensitive to the stench, he put the cigarette away.
No one knew what he was thinking.
The soft light in the luxury cabin that landed on his body made him seem even taller, but at the same time, cast a lonely shadow.
He was angered greatly when Kassy yelled that Bianca had been violated, but other than anger, he could only feel tenderness and pity for Bianca.
He would not mind if Bianca were really violated.
He loved her body, but he loved her soul even more.
If something had really happened to her, he would not blame her. Instead, he would blame himself for not protecting her.
He might be a clean freak, but he wanted to live a happy life with Bianca even if she were violated.
He also wished that he could personally execute every one of those men who had harmed Bianca.
Bianca seemed to be having a nightmare. Her face was as pale as paper, and she clutched the blanket tightly.
"Please, please don't harm my children. Please, Kassy, don't..." she mumbled in her sleep.
Luke sat next to her. He frowned as he looked at Bianca, who could not sleep calmly.
He reached out and brushed her cracked lips, and his expression became gloomier than ever.
He knew his position in Bianca's heart. The woman he loved was abducted in public view and was nearly violated. He had failed her as her husband. It was all his fault.
If something had happened to her, he would not be able to forgive himself!
He gently kissed her again and tucked her into the blanket. Suddenly, he remembered Lanie, Rainie, and Tommy. He got a nurse to take care of Bianca, then went to check on their beloved children. 1
The children remained sound asleep. Their similar faces looked so calm and peaceful under the soft light.
One would not have expected that they were still under the effect of the tranquilizer.
Johann came into the cabin with the analysis report in his hands. "Hey, you finally remembered your poor children! You haven't even looked at them ever since they were kidnapped. Tsk tsk, how cruel! I've never seen a father as cruel as you. I might even suspect that they're not your children if they don't look so similar to you."
Luke ignored Johann's mockery. Some warmth flickered in the man's icy gaze as he looked at his three cute babies. "How are they? Do the drugs... have any lasting side effects?"
Johann fanned the analysis report in his hand and explained seriously," They injected the kids with a fairly new type of tranquilizer. It's at least twice more potent as regular tranquilizers, but it doesn't have any harmful effects on the body. It seems that the man named Blackhook had some sympathy for the kids. If he had injected the kids with some horrible drug or had actually violated Sis, the consequences would have been fatal for him... I have to admit that he's pretty smart."
Luke's gaze turned ice-cold when he remembered the man's tanned face.
If that man had harmed his wife or children, he would have made sure that the man suffered a terrible fate!
Luke had found Bianca with a swollen face and tattered clothes. When he cleaned her in the bathroom, he did not see any signs of violation by a man. He was truly relieved when he found that.
He would love Bianca just as much even if she were truly violated, but he could not help but hope that her body solely belonged to him. Even more than that, he did not wish for her to live in guilt and shame.
Kassy, the mastermind behind the abduction, had already been dealt with.
He would have killed her out of anger if not that Bianca had convinced him to spare her life.
Of course, Kassy had already gotten what she deserved for harming Bianca. She was blinded and crippled, and she would not pose a threat to his family anymore.
The next day, Bianca woke up to the sound of birds chirping.
She furrowed her brows as she opened her eyes, and she felt a warm towel on her forehead.
A pair of hands were gently wiping her face.
The first thing that she saw after she opened her eyes was Ivy, the young maid.
She cleared her throat and asked, "Ivy, where's Luke?"
Ivy grinned happily when she saw that Bianca was awake. "You're finally awake, Madam. Sir was very worried when he saw that you didn’t wake up. He stayed up all night to keep watch, and he's in the bathroom cleaning up...
Bianca thought that it all had been a dream.
She felt a lot more awake after Ivy cleaned her face. That was when she remembered the nightmare that she had the night before.
Bianca blinked. The tall trees outside had a trace of morning fog. She heard the sounds of the insects and the rustling sounds of leaves as birds flew through the branches. Taking in the fresh air and looking at the familiar furnishings of her room, she realized that she was truly home.
Bianca tried to push herself up, but she felt as though her bones had fallen apart. The pain caused her to gasp.
When she tried it again, a pair of warm hands held her firmly and helped her lean against the down pillow.
Bianca lifted her head, and her eyes met Luke's gentle gaze.
He was dressed in a white bathrobe that bared his bronze-colored chest. His fine hair still dripped with water, and his body emanated the fragrance of shower cream.
The word "delectable” appeared in Bianca's mind. She gulped. What should she do if she really wanted to eat him up?
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 824- Three Little Heads Poked Through the Door
Bianca felt a little guilty when she saw a faint handprint on Luke's face.
She remembered that she had landed a vicious slap on his cheek when she could not control her emotions. She could feel that her palm was still stinging.
Bianca tenderly caressed his face and said hoarsely, "Does your face still hurt, Luke?"
She regretted slapping him.
However, she could not help but feel aggrieved that he had come so late.
She could not imagine what would happen to her and the children if Luke had arrived another second later.
The man's gaze wavered slightly. He placed his hands on her tender cheeks and stared straight into her eyes. "It doesn't hurt at all. Not a bit." "You're lying!"
Bianca laughed with tears in her eyes, playfully tugged at his short hair, and pouted. "Don't you know how afraid I was back then? I was afraid that I might not see you again, but I was even more afraid that something might happen to our children. Don't you know, Luke, I'd rather die than see any harm come to our children..."
Luke lay down next to her and hugged her intimately. "I started searching for you the moment I knew that you were in danger, but Kassy is a cunning woman. She's a trained assassin from the Island of Despair, and she barely leaves any traces of her crimes. That was why it took so long to track you down. Fortunately, I arrived just in time. I might not be able to forgive myself if I were too late."
The man's body was warm, while the woman was slightly cool.
His nose was pressed against her, leaving no gap in between their bodies.
Bianca lay on his chest with a vacant expression. "No matter what you think of her, Kassy once saved your life after all. She'll hate you for blinding and crippling her. It's all because of me, Luke. Sorry..." "That has nothing to do with you, silly girl. The woman isn't as kind-hearted as you might think. She only saved me because she thought that I could be useful to her. Moreover, many lives have been lost in her hands..."
Luke took her hand and gently massaged it, and his eyes flashed with some hostility. "She's unforgivable for attempting to harm you. She should be punished for what she did, and she should be grateful that she is still alive."
Kassy must have plotted for a long time before she infiltrated into A City without a trace. The tragedy of The Galleria had distracted him, which allowed Kassy to take the opportunity to carry out her almost- flawless plan.
Regarding the collapse of The Galleria, Luke guessed that Kassy must have had an accomplice, even though all the evidence found at the ruins pointed to Kassy.
Why would she do so? Was she taking revenge on him?
If the woman had blown up a shopping mall just so that she could abduct his wife and children, it meant that she was much crueler than he had imagined!
Luke knew that Kassy had always been obsessed with him, but he could not accept how fanatical and outrageous her love was.
He did not expect that the woman would go to such extreme means!
Luke thought for a while before deciding to tell Bianca the truth. He realized that he needed to be honest with his wife.
Bianca was stunned for a long time.
She did not expect that Kassy could be so depraved to kill hundreds of innocent lives just to win a man's heart. For a while, she considered herself lucky to be able to come out of the ordeal alive.
Considering how cruel Kassy was and how much she hated Bianca, Bianca and the children would have been dead if Luke had not come in time.
She considered herself blessed.
As she looked at his bloodshot eyes and the beard stubble on his chin, Ivy's words resounded in her ears. "Sir was worried that you didn't wake up.
He stayed up all night to keep watch."
Those words had hit Bianca's soft spot.
She felt oddly at ease as she brushed her hand on Luke's beard stubble.
"You haven't rested, Luke. Take a nap, and I'll go and make breakfast in the kitchen."
Bianca tried to push herself off the bed.
Her gaze fell on a hand basin next to the bed. Several white towels were floating inside.
She felt that someone had been taking care of her while she was sleeping, but she did not expect that it was him. Considering that he had been traveling a lot, he must be very tired by now.
Luke pulled her back into his arms and rested her body on his. "Take a nap with me, Bea."
Bianca could only comply. Her eyelashes quivered for a bit before she closed her eyes.
She opened her eyes when she heard that his breathing had become calm and even.
She sighed as she touched her bruised cheek. Then, she greedily took in Luke's handsome sleeping face and gently pinched the incredibly smooth cheek.
That handsome face had brought her so much trouble. If she had her way, she would taxidermize him and keep him safe so that she would be the only one who could appreciate him.
She was once again woken up by the sound of the door opening. Luke came into the bedroom carrying a tray.
The fragrance of the food spread throughout the entire room and whetted Bianca's appetite.
Bianca rubbed her eyes and looked at him. "When did you wake up? Why didn't I notice it?"
Luke placed the tray on the low table beside the bed.
Avocado toast, blanched prawns, truffle omelets, garden salad... they all looked delicious and healthy.
Bianca yawned and mumbled, "I'll brush my teeth before I eat. Right, Luke, are the children awake? I want to check on them too."
Luke patted her head. "They’re already awake, and they're now eating in the dining hall. I told them that they shouldn't disturb you because you're still sleeping. You haven't eaten for a day. Go and brush your teeth before you eat."
Just as he finished speaking, they heard the door gently creak open.
Three heads popped into the room. The children were standing on tiptoes, trying to see what was inside...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 825- The Three Children Tried to Please Their Mother
The three children hugged the door frame and looked into the room, intimidated by their father's authority. They looked quite adorable.
Naturally, Bianca noticed them.
She put down her fork and spoon and beckoned at her children with a smile. "Come in, my babies... Have you had your lunch? Won't you eat with me?”
Luke knew that the children were afraid of him. He whispered something next to Bianca's ear, then nodded at the children and let them come in.
Seeing that their father allowed them to go in, they answered their mother's call and ran inside.
"Mommy! Huggy..." The first to run in was Tommy.
He stretched out his arms, and he seemed too anxious to be hugged by his mother.
Before he reached the bed, Luke lifted him by his collar like an eagle snatching a little bird. "Your Mommy hasn't recovered yet. Wait until she's better before you hug her."
Tommy pouted unhappily, and Bianca wanted to laugh because that little boy looked so similar to his father. However, seeing Tommy also reminded her of the scene where the little boy writhing in agony on the floor after being injected with the drug, and that made her feel sorry for him.
She got the children to stand next to her while she kissed each of their foreheads and cheeks. After briefly examining their bodies and confirming that they were indeed unhurt, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lanie, Rainie, Tommy, how do you feel now? Tell me if any part of your body feels uncomfortable. If you do, you have to tell Daddy or me immediately, alright?"
Even though Johann had reassured her that the drug was a regular tranquilizer, Bianca was worried that it might have unknown lasting side effects on the children's young bodies. She would not want to be careless.
Lanie lowered his head and tugged on Bianca's shirt sleeve. A hint of guilt flashed past his handsome face. "I'm sorry, Mommy. I said that Daddy and I would protect you and my younger siblings, but I failed to do that. I'm not a good boy..."
Bianca's heart wrenched when she heard that. She gently pinched her eldest son's tender cheeks and said, "I'm fine, Lanie. You're still too small now. You can protect us when you're bigger. I'm the one who failed to protect you and made you suffer along with me. I've failed as your mother."
The boy was only seven years old, but he was much more outstanding than children of his age in every aspect. She did not want to see him put unreasonable expectations on himself.
Rainie's plump little hands caressed Bianca's cheek and said, "Mommy, Uncle Johann said that all those baddies were arrested, and they won't hurt us anymore. Don't be afraid, Mommy. When I grow up, Lanie, Daddy, and I will protect you and Tommy." "Good girl..."
Bianca's eyes misted up.
Her children cared for her so much. That made her feel guilty.
Rainie clenched her fists and stood straight. "Your face is swollen, Mommy. Did the baddies do something to you? They're so nasty! When I grow up, I want to be a police officer. I'll arrest all the baddies and throw them in jail!"
Bianca could not help but smile and tousle her daughter's hair when she saw that Rainie was aspiring to be a heroine. "Silly girl. My biggest wish is for all of you to be safe. I won’t have any regrets if we can live happily ever after."
The little girl leaned on Bianca's chest and hugged her neck. "Yes, Mommy, we'll live happily together forever, but I still care about you..."
Bianca's heart warmed. "Thanks to your care, I'll recover soon." "Are you feeling unwell, Mommy? Let me feed you..." Lanie took a spoonful of oatmeal, gently blew on it, and brought it close to Bianca's mouth.
"My arms and legs are fine, Lanie. You don't have to feed me." Bianca could feel her face turn red.
Usually, she was the one who fed her children. She was not used to it when the roles were reversed.
Moreover, she was not hurt or otherwise incapacitated. She could eat by herself just fine.
Tommy was not to be outdone. He lifted his hand that held a rather tattered prawn. "I've peeled this prawn for you, Mommy. Eat my prawn before you eat Lanie's oatmeal."
Bianca was overwhelmed by her children's "hospitality," but at the same time, she felt that it was very heart-warming. She was glad that she had given birth to those three children.
Luke was also smiling faintly. His heart was filled with tender love.
He was grateful that God had granted those three children to Bianca and him.
After lunch, the three children went to take their naps.
Luke took his lunch, then changed into a fresh suit as though he was going to a business meeting.
"Where are you going, Luke?" Bianca asked curiously.
Luke answered the question while putting on his tie. "Back to the factory. I want to check out the situation there."
The A City Police Department was known for its incompetence. Luke had asked Percy for help in the rescue mission. Even though he knew that Gale and Rain would clean up the scene without a trace, he wanted to make sure of that himself.
Most importantly, he wanted to make sure that Kassy was adequately dealt with. That woman was cunning, and he could not be at ease if he did not see for himself that Kassy was incapacitated.
"Right, Luke, you have to spare the life of the leader of the thugs," Bianca said anxiously, "He was the one that made sure that I and the children were safe. Can you spare his life and the lives of his men? He's not part of Kassy's gang..."
Luke thought for a long time before he remembered that tanned face.
He nodded. "Don't worry. I promised you that I'll spare his life, and I won't go back on my word."
Bianca remained unconvinced. She got up and said, "Then... can I go with you? Wait for me for a while, Luke. I'll go wash up..."
Before Luke could reply, she dashed hurriedly into the bathroom.
She would also like to see Kassy's ultimate fate.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 826- Why Are You So Obsessed With That Woman?
After Bianca brushed her teeth and washed her face, she thought of putting on makeup.
Kassy had put on her makeup meticulously when she abducted Bianca. She put lipstick on her lips and wore high heels. Bianca wanted to show that she was the superior woman and that she was not one to be bullied.
However, she remembered that Kassy might have been blinded by now.
Instead, she wore some loose-fitting casual clothes.
When she came out of the bedroom and saw Luke in formal wear, she suddenly felt underdressed.
Luke was sitting on the couch and reading a financial newspaper. She hesitated for a while before saying, "Can you wait for me just a little longer?
"Hm?" Luke turned his head and looked at Bianca suspiciously.
"Well, I thought that I should put on some light makeup..." Bianca bit her lip as she looked into his eyes. "I don't think it's suitable for me to leave the house like this."
Luke looked at her carefully. "It's fine. You look great like this. You're naturally beautiful." "Ah..."
Bianca scratched her head. She wanted to say something, but Luke had already gotten up and took her hand. "You're beautiful this way. In my eyes, my wife is the most beautiful woman even without makeup. Let's go."
It was windy and drizzling outside. Bianca sneezed when she stepped out of the house.
Her casual clothes were quite thin, and she could not help but huddle.
Luke frowned when he saw that. He turned around and said, "I'll go and get a jacket for you from the bedroom. Wait for me for a while."
Bianca tried to stop him. "It's fine. I can go like this..."
Luke was not going to listen to her. He dashed into the bedroom. Soon, he appeared with a thick black coat in his hands and draped it over Bianca's shoulders.
I'm not going to wear a coat. It's so weird wearing a T-shirt inside and a coat outside," Bianca protested.
Moreover, he was dressed so formally. She felt embarrassed standing next to him.
Luke started to button up the coat, and his eyes flashed dangerously. "Is your health or your appearance more important?"
Bianca's face scrunched up and reluctantly allowed him to put on the coat for her. Then, he held her hand, and they walked outside.
They arrived at the factory.
Bianca remembered vividly what happened the night before. She shuddered involuntarily when she stepped into the factory. Meanwhile, Luke's expression turned cold when he remembered her condition when he found her.
He brought Bianca closer to her and comforted her. "Don't be afraid. I’m here."
A few dozen armed mercenaries dressed in camouflage were stationed all around the factory. They were patrolling the area.
They saluted Luke when they saw him and Bianca. "Mr. Crawford," they greeted him.
Even though Bianca knew that they were Luke's mercenaries, she felt uneasy when she saw the guns in those people's hands.
"These people are Percy's subordinates. He was the one who helped me find you in time," Luke explained to her.
Bianca felt relieved when Percy's bewitchingly handsome face appeared in her mind. She would thank him another day.
Kassy's lackeys were tied to steel pillars, battered by the cold wind and rain for the entire night. There was not a hint of color on their faces.
Gale and Rain were busy cleaning up the scene.
When they saw Luke and Bianca come in, they stopped working and bowed slightly. "Mr. and Mrs. Crawford. They're all here, not one less."
As they spoke, the people tied to the pillars turned around, pleading for mercy with their eyes.
Bianca remembered how those thugs had brazenly committed crimes in public and tossed grenades without any regard for human life. She did not expect that those criminals were so afraid of death.
Her gaze fell on a woman lying on the cold floor. She seemed barely alive.
From her clothes, Bianca could tell that she was Kassy.
Thick white bandages were wrapped over her eyes, and the smell of disinfectant was thick in the air. From the bloodstains on the bandages, Bianca could tell that her eyes were severely damaged.
Both of her legs were also wrapped in bloody bandages. Whoever treated her legs had done a perfunctory job, as though they only wanted to prevent her from bleeding to death.
Even though Bianca hated Kassy, she could not help but feel sorry for her when she saw how pathetic Kassy was.
No one would have expected that the noble and arrogant woman would end up like this.
Kassy might have lost her sense of sight, but her hearing sense remained acute.
She heard Luke's voice from afar. Her dirty hands waved wildly in the air, and she yelled hoarsely, "Is that you, Matthew? Are you here to visit me? I know it. I know that you miss me..."
Kassy dragged her battered body and crawled toward Luke. She was both crying and laughing, and she looked like a lunatic.
Even though Bianca felt sorry for her, she remembered that Kassy was a ruthless woman.
When she heard Kassy express her love for Luke, she could not help but retort, "You're still coveting my husband even though you've ended up like this. You never change, Kassy!"
Kassy was shocked when she heard that familiar woman's voice. Her body trembled. "Why, Matthew? That b*tch has already been violated by another man, but why do you still want her? Why are you obsessed with her? What's so good about her?” "Everything about her is good to me. I don't need a reason to love her," Luke replied coldly.
"Hahaha, I'm unlucky to have saved your life. You turned out to be an ingrate!" Kassy cackled horrifically.
She still could not understand why Luke chose Bianca over her. She was more outstanding than Bianca in every aspect, and Bianca did not seem to have any good points other than her pure looks. Why would Luke be obsessed over that plain-looking woman? i
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 827- His Wife Is A Lucky Woman
So what if Bianca had Luke's love? She had already been violated by another man!
Even though Kassy's eyes were ruined, her face contorted viciously.
She pointed in Luke and Bianca's direction and shrieked madly, "Have you seen the video of another man f*cking that b*tch, Matthew? I don't think you have. You shouldn't have been so calm. I don't believe any man could remain composed after knowing that he has been made a cuckold! You can look at that video. Hahaha..."
Bianca looked at Kassy with pity. "Kassy, do you still believe that I had been violated? If you're so intelligent, why not spend some time wondering why I'm still standing here, if I truly have been violated? The truth might disappoint you. I was not violated at all."
Kassy's body stiffened abruptly. "You're lying! I heard with my own ears that you were moaning and pleading for mercy. Why are..."
Luke’s expression sank. He wanted to hug Bianca tightly.
Bianca smiled at him, indicating that she was fine. Then, she continued speaking, "So what if you heard those noises? Have you never considered that it was all an act? Of course not. You're too full of yourself to think about that." "That's impossible. Everyone outside heard your moans. Do you think that you can absolve yourself by making that lame excuse? We've all heard how your clothes were torn apart, and how you moaned when that guy entered you. There’s no point in explaining yourself. Matthew won't want a b*tch like you!"
Slap!
Bianca could not take it anymore. She slapped Kassy's face in an attempt to quieten her. "Don't impose your filthy thoughts on other people. Do you want to know what the camera captured that day? Then I'll show it to you... No. You can't see anymore. Then I'll let you listen with your own ears to what actually happened..."
She turned on the camera and played the video.
All the eyes in the room fell on her and the camera, especially those thugs who were tied to the pillars.
After all, the sounds they heard that day were too intense. They wanted to rush in and release their urges.
Only the leader of the thugs with the tanned face closed his eyes as though nothing in the world concerned him. His indifference seemed out of place with his current situation.
This was what the people saw from the video:
Bianca glared at Blackhook cautiously, wondering what he was up to." What do you mean, cooperate with you and put up an act? Let me warn you, if you dare lay a finger on me, I'll bite my tongue and commit suicide! Don't think that you'll be safe if you follow Kassy's orders. My husband is a vengeful man. If you attempt to harm me, he'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
Blackhook pinned Bianca to the wall and lowered his voice to a whisper." Don't worry. I've promised that I won't harm you, so I won't do that. I only hope that you'll agree to one condition." "What is it?”
Bianca was surprised when she smelled something. She hesitated for a while before asking, "Have you recently become a father?"
It was Blackhook's turn to be surprised. "How do you know?" He seemed to be on high alert.
"That's easy. I'm a mother of three children, and I've raised my youngest son since he was born. Young children have a certain scent of milk on them, and if adults carry them for long enough, they'll have the same scent on their bodies too. I caught a whiff of that scent on your body earlier, and I guess that your child isn't a month old. If you love children so much, I guess that you're not an irredeemable criminal. There must be a reason why you're doing this..."
She paused for a while and ventured, "You reprimanded the sharp-faced thug while we were in the car, and you said that you wouldn’t have picked up this job if you had another choice. I'm guessing that you need money, and that's why you took the risk."
Blackhook seemed impressed by Bianca's guess.
He thought of something, and his gaze turned gloomy. "That's right. You're a smart one. It's true that I need money. My wife has given birth to a set of triplets, two boys and a girl. I was very happy, but the doctor has diagnosed that they suffer from serious heart disease, and it'll cost a few million to treat them all. I've already left that life behind me long ago, but I had no other choice but to accept the job this time. That's why I'd like to propose a trade." "What?" "Let's put up an act to fool Kassy. You'll pretend that I've violated you, and I'll try my best to stall for time for your husband to get here. If he makes it in time, you'll have to convince him to spare the life of me and my two partners. They're my blood brothers, and they only stepped out of retirement because I asked them for help."
Bianca thought for a while and realized that the plan might work.
However, she remembered that the sharp-faced thug had insulted her. "I agree to your proposal, but I can't forgive that sharp-faced man. I want him punished for insulting me!" "No problem," Blackhook promised her.
When Bianca saw that Blackhook had replied to her so readily, she could not help but ask, "If my husband can’t come in time and Kassy kills me, she might realize that I cooperated with you to deceive
her. Aren't you worried that she'll take out her anger on you?"
Blackhook chuckled drily. His weathered face seemed tired. "I've been dancing on a knife's edge for my entire life, and the only thing that's been keeping me alive is my keen intuition. I have a strong feeling that your husband will make it in time, and that's why I don't mind defecting..."
The hour-long video stopped here.
Luke felt a lot better after watching the video. He resisted the urge to hug Bianca tightly. His wife was a lucky woman after all!
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 828-After the Storm, the Couple Hugged Each Other
Kassy was dumbstruck after hearing the conversation in the video.
Her chest was heaving out of anger, and she coughed violently. ’ Blackhook, you liar! You deceived me even though I trusted you! If I knew that this would happen, I should've killed that b*tch and her b*stard children right from the start!"
She regretted not doing so, not expecting that Blackhook had lied to her.
Bianca glanced at Kassy sympathetically and shook her head. That woman remained unrepentant even though she was already thoroughly defeated. She wondered if she was crazy or stupid.
She walked up next to Luke, gently hugged his elbow, and said softly," Luke, Blackhook saved me. Would you let go of him and his partners? Also, should we pay for his children's heart surgery and subsequent treatments too?" "Mm." Luke glanced at Blackhook and wagged his hand at Gale.
Gale received the order and released Blackhook and his two partners.
Blackhook was in a pathetic state, but he was not injured. As for his two partners, one lost a leg to a grenade blast, while the other took two bullets to his arm.
Fortunately, their vital organs were not injured, and they managed to survive the ordeal.
Luke noticed that Bianca seemed exhausted and carried her with his arms. "We'll leave the rest to Gale and Rain, and let's go home. Rain, except for Blackhook and his two friends, deal with the rest according to the rules!"
Rain bowed at Luke and said, "Yes, Mr. Crawford."
Kassy began to yell like a lunatic when she heard that Luke and Bianca were about to leave. "Bianca, you b*tch, you seductress, you've slept with ten thousand men. I'll haunt you even after I die! If I don't die from this, I swear that I'll take revenge on you one day!"
Bianca wanted to rip Kassy’s foul mouth into pieces, but she closed her eyes when she saw her pathetic state. "Let's go. She's already lost her mind."
Luke's expression was frigid.
He could not tolerate anyone verbally insulting Bianca, so he shot a glance at one of the mercenaries.
A tall and burly man stepped up and slapped Kassy about twenty times. At the end of that, she was bleeding from her mouth, and her face was bruised and swollen!
Luke glared at Kassy with a sinister and even infernal gaze. "I thought I'd spare your life because you once saved mine, but if you remain unrepentant, then I'll have to return to you what you planned to give my wife!"
A man in black opened up a suitcase, took out a syringe filled with bright green liquid, and injected it into Kassy's arm.
Kassy struggled violently. She knew what the contents of the syringe were.
That was the first time she had felt so much fear!
"You're inhuman, Matthew. How can you treat me like this?"
She called out her name in despair, and tears mixed with blood flowed down her bandaged eyes. "Have you forgotten that when you were hurt, I was the first woman you saw when you opened your eyes? Have you forgotten how you relied on me to survive on the island? Have you forgotten the times
we watched the sunset together? Have you forgotten all that I have done for you for the past two years?"
Luke did not even turn his head. He hugged Bianca tightly, and his expression sank. "I remember all the things you have done for me, but that is no reason to harm my wife. Also, I have no feelings for you. That is all your imagination..." "No, it’s not like that. I don’t believe it. I'm the only woman who deserves to be by your side. We're meant to be together. I'll kill that b*tch!"
Kassy discerned their location with her sense of hearing. She pounced toward them, but Gale kicked her away, and she could not get up again.
The large dose of the drug that was injected into her veins was starting to take effect. She began to tear her clothes.
"Hot, so hot..."
Her fair skin was exposed to view, and she wanted to find a man to satisfy herself. She groped around because she could not see, but she could not find anyone.
Gale and Rain remained impassive.
Gale even wanted to release the thugs that were tied to the pillars, but Bianca could not bear to see that happen. If she allowed Gale to let the men violate the woman, she was no different from Kassy.
"Never mind, the drug is already punishment enough for her. Just let her writhe in agony by herself..."
They turned to look at Luke, waiting for his order.
"Whatever my wife says," Luke said.
He knew that his wife would not want to look at such depraved deeds.
After leaving the rest of the mess to his subordinates, he carried Bianca to the all-terrain vehicle and placed her inside. Seeing that her face remained pale and that she was not in a good mood, he poked her nose. ’"What's wrong? Did that give you a fright?"
He knew that he was merciless when it came to certain things, but he did not want to give his wife that impression.
Bianca’s head rested on his chest, and her eyes blinked several times. She felt uneasy. "I thought that Kassy seemed quite pitiful. I know that she deserves the punishment, but did we go overboard?"
Her eyes and legs were ruined, and she was injected with the drug. Bianca wondered if Kassy would survive.
Luke patted her head and said, "She's from the Island of Despair. She'll be fine. She'll live even if we double the punishment."
Kassy had been through all sorts of inhuman punishments in her training on the Island of Despair. She was as resilient as a weed. Otherwise, she would not have become Robert's most trusted assassin.
Bianca felt slightly relieved. She hugged Luke's neck and nuzzled his chest. "From now on, we'll live happily ever after..."
Luke kissed her. "Mm. I won't let you or our babies go through this again." "Alright."
The late afternoon sun shone on the loving couple. Everything seemed to be warm and harmonious, as though nothing could ever come between them...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 829 -Shocking News
Gale and Rain dealt with Kassy and his lackeys.
Luke had suspected that Kassy was involved in the collapse of The Galleria. He believed that his subordinates would be able to extract an answer from Kassy with their interrogation methods, and he would be able to give a satisfactory explanation to the families of the victims and the media.
When Bianca woke up the next morning, all that she read in the papers were about the abduction incident, as well as the news that Kassy, the mastermind behind it, found half-dead in the outskirts of A City.
The media was most surprised that the woman was implicated in the collapse of The Galleria.
T Corporation had presented the evidence they found, and all of the evidence pointed that Kassy was the culprit. Her accomplice was Wayne Blatt of the Blatt family, who played a vital role in the crime.
The public was shocked by the revelation. They could not imagine how those two characters conspired nor understand the reason behind the deed.
That was until a complete video was revealed to the public.
Kassy sat in a questioning room. She divulged the entire truth.
She had planned the deed because she could not win Luke Crawford's love.
Therefore, she blew up The Galleria as an act of revenge. Taking advantage of the chaos and that the public opinion was directed at T Corporation, she bought up a large amount of T Corporation shares and sold them at a low price to destabilize the market.
She wanted the public to lose confidence in Luke Crawford and T Corporation.
After that, she abducted Bianca Rayne, Luke Crawford's wife in public and set off several explosives on the street, not showing any regard to the sanctity of human life.
For a while, the news was the talk of the town.
The public could not believe that a woman committed a series of serious crimes out of unrequited love.
Due to the severity of her crimes, the special police had detained her in a secret location.
However, Wayne Blatt, her accomplice, remained at large. His whereabouts had become a mystery.
A bounty was issued on Wayne Blatt. Anyone who provided information of Wayne's whereabouts that would lead to his arrest would receive a one million dollar reward. Instantly, everyone was caught up in the hype.
Bianca was surprised that Luke's subordinates could be so efficient. Kassy had confessed to her crimes so readily.
While she was lost in thought, her phone on the coffee table started to ring.
She glanced at the screen and quickly answered the phone. "Dad."
She had been occupied for the past two days, but she suddenly remembered that her mother was suffering from depression again.
She had promised Queenie that she would visit, and she felt guilty that she had not fulfilled her promise.
On the other end of the phone, Jack sounded stern but also angry. "Bea, you didn't tell me that you and the children were abducted! I wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't watched the news. Why didn't you
tell me about something so serious?"
Bianca's heart felt warm even though Jack was reprimanding her.
"Dad, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you or Mom to be worried about me. Mom hasn't been in good health lately, and I heard that she's suffering from depression again. I don't want her condition to worsen after knowing what happened to me... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you, and I promise that I won't do it again. Is Mom feeling better? I'll be coming home later to visit you..."
Jack sighed. "Your mom is fine. Her mood is better after some rest at home, but she eats poorly. I didn't dare let her know about your abduction. In any case, you'll have to let me know about it as soon as you can. I'm your father, and I think I've failed you for only finding out about your abduction through the news..." "You're the best dad in the world and the best grandfather to the children, Dad. It's not your fault. I promise you that I won't do this again. I'll let you know if anything happens to me, alright?"
Jack felt a little better after getting that promise from his daughter.
After the call ended, Bianca went to the study and told Luke that she wanted to visit her mother.
Luke was working in the study. He noticed that Bianca was anxious, so he put away the documents in his hand. "What's wrong? Why are you running?"
Bianca held his hand and told him, "I want to visit my mom, Luke. Dad just called to tell me that Mom hasn't been eating well recently. I'm afraid that she's suffering from depression again, so..."
Luke saw that Bianca was so anxious that she was not speaking clearly. He picked up the coat from the rack and said, "Alright, let's go and visit Mom."
Ever since the abduction, Luke dared not let Bianca go out by herself.
He drove the car straight to the Norman residence and arrived there an hour later.
Jack had been staying at home and taking care of his wife for the past few days.
Leia was also obedient during that period. She accompanied Queenie every day and learned from the caretaker how to cook light meals. Jack's impression of his adoptive daughter became better.
When Leia saw Luke and Bianca coming through the door bearing presents, she grunted and looked away, not willing to let them see the jealousy in her eyes.
Bianca ignored Leia and went directly to her mother's bedroom.
Tears nearly fell from her eyes when she saw the frail woman who leaned on the headboard. "Mom..."
She could not believe that her mother's condition worsened so much in only a few days.
"Bea, Luke, you're here." Queenie found it hard to speak, but her gaze was brimming with love.
Luke hugged Bianca and went to the bedside. "I've heard that you haven't been feeling well, Mom, so I'm here with Bea to visit you. How are you feeling lately? Should I get some doctors from overseas to treat you?"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 830- A Suspicious Scent
A gentle smile appeared on Queenie's face. "You shouldn't trouble yourself.
I'm feeling fine." "How did you become like this, Mom?" Bianca gently hugged Queenie and said sadly.
She could feel her mother's bony frame in her arms.
Queenie gently caressed her daughter's hair and comforted her, "It's an old problem. I've been trying to keep it in check, but it flares up once in a while. I'm already old, and I can't catch up with you young ones. Right, where are my darling grandchildren? I haven't seen them for many days, and I miss them. Why didn't you bring them with you?" "I was in a rush to see you, Mom, and I didn't pick them up. I'll bring them the next time I come to visit."
Bianca held her mother's hand tightly and said, "Why don't you stay over at our house while you recuperate? I'll hire some psychologists to treat your symptoms. You'll recover quicker that way, and I won't have to be so worried."
Queenie smiled lovingly and gently patted her daughter's hand. "You don't have to trouble yourself. It's the same if I recuperate at home. Your dad and Leia have been taking good care of me at home. Jack has always been busy at work, and he finally has the time to accompany me. He wouldn't have the time before this. Leia has also been a good girl. Every day, she'd learn how to cook from Ms. Lang, and her cooking skills are getting better by the day..."
Bianca glanced at Leia, who had been standing in a corner and not making a sound. That was the first time she took a good look at her.
Leia's emaciated body had become plumper, and her sunken cheeks seemed to be now filled with color. She looked like a different person compared to before, and she seemed to be regaining her pure
looks, just like when she was an actress.
Whenever Bianca came to visit, Leia would always insult her with harsh language. However, Leia had remained silent the entire time Bianca was there. In fact, she looked as though she was anxious to leave the scene, but she had to stay there and force a smile on her face.
That made Bianca quite surprised. Why did Leia become like that?
Leia felt a little disgusted when she saw that Bianca was chatting happily with Queenie while looking at her.
She greeted Bianca with a superficial smile, then told her mother, "Mom, the two of you must have a lot to talk about, and I shouldn't disturb you. I'll go back to my room first."
She furrowed her brows, stood up, walked past Bianca and Luke, and walked toward her room.
She caught a whiff of Luke's natural body scent when she walked past him, and that made her waver for a while.
Even her feet stumbled.
The man was silent and ephemeral like a gust of wind, but he would abruptly transform into a violent storm and tear you to shreds when you least expected it.
Even so, Leia was obsessed by his impeccably handsome face and noble demeanor, especially when compared to that brute in her room. He was like the full moon, enchanting yet untouchable.
Leia was reminded of the warning given by the devil in her bedroom. She shuddered and quickly left the room.
At the same time, Luke seemed to have caught the scent of something on Leia's body when she walked past him.
The scent made him frown.
'... Why does that smell like Neurax III?'
Luke was very familiar with that scent after staying in the League of Shadows's headquarters for so long. The scent was extremely faint, but he was quite sure that it was indeed the drug.
If Leia had been staying at home recently, how would she have that suspicious scent on her?
Before he could think further about it, Jack summoned him to the study to discuss the follow-up and compensation of the incident of The Galleria.
He could only come back to that problem later.
On the way back to her room, a white, furry object that popped out of nowhere made her cry in alarm. She nearly fell to the floor.
She managed to grab on to the carved wooden railings.
Leia looked carefully at that thing and saw that it was a plump chinchilla cat.
It had short and stumpy legs, a pair of blue eyes like sapphires, and a thick and glossy coat. Its body was smaller than a Persian cat. It meowed at Leia haughtily and walked down the stairs.
Leia patted her chest to calm herself down. She wanted to kick the cat down the stairs.
Jack imported the cat from overseas in an attempt to cheer up his wife.
Queenie adored the cat. If something happened to it, there would be no peace in the Norman household.
She spat at the cat, then sneaked back to her room and locked the door behind her.
Wayne was sitting topless on her bed while polishing a handgun. He had a sinister smile on his face.
Leia could not help but shudder when she saw that smile.
Wayne blew away some dust on the gun and said gloomily, "A City has been turbulent lately. Even Kassy fell. How useless of her, I thought that she’d last a little longer. Looks like I'll have to leave tonight. Thanks for your care, Leia. I won't forget you."
He had remained in the room, but he had kept himself in touch with the happenings in A City. He was quite angry that Kassy had been arrested.
That useless idiot!
Leia covered his mouth anxiously and glanced toward the door. "Please keep it down, Wayne. Don't you know how much I've suffered trying to hide your presence in my room? Luke and Bianca are in the house right now. You shouldn't let them discover you. Otherwise, I'm finished!"
Wayne pulled her arm and hugged her tightly. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips. "Heh, so what if they're here? If the worst comes to the worst, I'll just... them all."
He drew his finger over his neck. That cruel gesture gave Leia a shock!
