Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 1288 An Intimate Distance

Luca walked over to the bed and bent over slightly.

Luke extended his arm and put it around her shoulder while his other arm held onto the cabinet beside the bed. He

managed to get down from the bed.

They were so close to each other right now. Luca did not dare to look at the expression on his face. Instead, she

looked down at the floor and asked, "How are you feeling?" "I'm fine," replied Luke. He felt a little dizzy when his

feet touched the floor but he felt fine when he managed to stabilize himself. Everything felt fine except for the fact

that his feet were still a little weak.

"Let’s try walking a few steps. Don't force yourself, though." Luca felt his warm breath on her scalp when he spoke

to her. She could not stop her face from turning red.

Luke replied with an, "Mm." He then tried taking his first steps.

Luca tried to keep up with him while paying close attention to his breathing. At that moment, she could hear that his

breathing was peaceful, so she said nothing and helped him to the bathroom.

After setting him down on the toilet seat, she said to him, "Sit here."

Luke nodded in response.

Luca helped him sit down and then said, "I'll be waiting for you outside.

Just call me when you're done."

After that, she quickly left the bathroom and closed the door.

Luca leaned her back against the wall and took a deep breath. It was just a short journey to the bathroom but she

was sweating all over her back and her heart pounded uncontrollably.

When she was helping him walk, she could feel that he was looking downward. His warm breath was sprayed over

her scalp. She could not be sure if he was doing that on purpose or not.

The distance between them was intimately close earlier, and she almost could not handle that feeling. Everything

that she experienced just now felt deliberate when in reality, it was not.

Luca leaned against the wall as she looked up at the ceiling, fanning her face with one hand. She hoped that it

might disperse the heat a little quicker.

After a while, she heard flushing noises from the bathroom. Just as she hesitated to go in, the door opened from the

inside.

Luke held the door with one hand while supporting himself on the wall with the other as he walked out.

Luca quickly grabbed his arm. "Are you alright, Mr. Crawford?"

She did not expect him to walk out just like that.

"I'm fine," he replied. He let her help him back to bed.

Luca helped him up onto the bed before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke looked at her and asked, "Were you calling my name when you woke up?"

Luca was stunned. She had dreamed of something when she was sleeping earlier. Something about the past. When

she woke up, she could not tell if she was still dreaming or not. That was why she did that.

She shook her head and replied, "I don’t think so. You must have misheard me, Mr. Crawford."

Luke was sure that he heard it right, but since she did not want to address the issue, he would not press her further

either. He was only taking a gander. He said, "It’s getting late, let’s get some sleep." "Mm," replied Luca as she

turned and walked back to her chair.

Even with her back turned toward him, she could feel his gaze on her back.

She pretended as if nothing was going on and pulled the covers on Tommy before lying down, her back still turned

toward the patient on the bed.

She then heard a slight rustle on the other bed. She knew that Luke had already gone back to bed.

Luca closed her eyes and touched her face. She had gotten red-faced one too many times today...

Could Luke see what was happening to her face with that lamp on...

Jason was still in his office. He set an alarm to remind himself to give Sue a video call.

After the call went through, Kari and Teri’s faces showed up on the screen.

Jason smiled as he spoke to the sisters for a while before Sue appeared.

Sue looked at the background behind him and asked, "Are you still in the office?" "Mm." Jason looked at her lovingly

through the screen, but he still missed her.

Sue retorted, "How long are you working overtime for? Luke is so cruel making you work like this. Don't tell me

you're the only one working overtime?” "No, I just worked until ten o'clock today. But I feel a little lazy to go back to

the hotel, so I'm spending the night in the office," Jason explained.

"Are you stupid or what? You have a hotel to stay in but you want to sleep in the office? Is the office table more

comfortable to sleep on?" Sue rolled her eyes at him as she chided him in disdain, but Jason knew that she was

simply concerned about him.

"The office is closer to the hospital, so it’ll be easier for me to go there tomorrow," Jason explained. Luke mentioned

that he should be able to get discharged by tomorrow, so he might as well sleep in the office since he was working

until ten o'clock that night. Besides, he would not be in a rush when he went over to the hospital tomorrow.

"Hospital? Are you not feeling well?" Sue immediately wanted to take a good look at him, so she brought her face

closer to the screen.

"Not me but my boss." Jason then told her everything about Luke getting bit by a snake. 3

Sue was relieved after she heard his story. She did not have the mood to care about what had happened to Luke as

long as Jason was fine. She then said, "That's really unfortunate for Luke, but since you're in the office, surely

someone is taking care of him in the hospital?" "Dr. Craw is taking care of him," Jason told her the truth.

"Dr. Craw? The one who showed up in the news with Luke?" Sue’s voice was raised a few pitches higher.

Jason nodded.

Sue continued, "You're a fool, Jason. How could you let them be together all alone? This is a scandal on a timer.

You're so careless. If anything happens between them, what about Bianca?"

Sue did not know Bianca all that well, but she still defended her.

"The boss man wanted it himself, Sue. I'm just following orders." Jason could understand why Sue was so nervous.

After all, she had a good relationship with Bianca before she lost her memory.

"You’re just following orders. That woman is so pretty, I don’t believe she doesn't have other intentions in mind..."

Sue muttered.

Jason thought about it for a moment. If anyone were to have those kinds of intentions, then it would be Luke.

After all, Luca always seemed to avoid Luke every time Jason saw her around.

On the other hand, Luke had no intentions to avoid her. Instead, he wanted to get close to her... Otherwise, he

would not have made this arrangement.

Sue noticed Jason's silence and then told him, "You still have a week before you come home, right? You have to

keep an eye on her. Don't give her any chances. Understand?"
