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

Chapter 1301 How Luke Treated Her

Dr. Albus was quite excited when he heard that. If the president of the Pharmaceutical Association served him wine

from his personal collection, that would be something worth bragging about to his friends back in A City!

He lifted his glass and said, "Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Abel. It's an honor to have a drink with you."

Abel smiled lazily to cover up the viciousness in his eyes. He lifted his glass and said, "A toast to you, Dr. Albus."

The people around the dining table lifted their glasses. Luca knew that it would be strange if she did not follow what

the rest were doing, but if she drank from the glass, she was afraid that she might fall into Abel's trap.

While she hesitated for a few seconds, the other people turned their hands and looked at her.

With no other choice, she lifted her glass and clinked it with the other glasses. The other people began drinking the

precious red wine from Abel's personal collection.

Luca brought the glass next to her mouth but did not drink it. Instead, she closed her mouth and let the red liquid

wet her lips.

When Abel saw that, he smiled and said, "Why aren't you drinking, Dr. Craw?"

Luca calmly put the glass down and said, "I'm not feeling very well today, so I don't think I should be drinking red

wine, n

Abel narrowed his gaze and nodded. "I see. Indeed, you shouldn't drink red wine when you're feeling unwell. Waiter,

bring Dr. Craw some fruit juice and water."

"Yes." The waiter nodded and left the room. Soon, he returned with a glass of orange juice and a glass of warm

water.

Abel smiled and asked Luca, "Fruit juice and water shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Luca looked at the three glasses of liquid in front of her. She dared not drink anything that Abel offered her.

However, it would be very suspicious if she continued to decline Abel's offer.

Luca smiled gently and said, "They're no problem. Thank you.

"You're welcome. Here, let's continue drinking," Abel said.

Luca clinked glasses with Abel with the glass of warm water. She sniffed it and did not smell anything suspicious.

Naturally, she was not at ease yet. After all, it was within Shanks's ability to invent a sedative with no color or smell.

Luca took a small sip. It was not much, but the liquid was in her body now.

Dr. Albus tried to maintain a conversation with Abel while sipping red wine. Other than talking about his academic

research, he also tried to curry favor with Abel.

Luca said nothing as she listened to their conversation.

While talking to Dr. Albus, Abel stole glances at Luca, though he did not try to bring her into the conversation.

The people finished the two bottles of wine after an hour. They were visibly drunk.

Luca frowned slightly. She did not know Dr. Albus's alcohol tolerance, but Abel should not have been intoxicated so

easily.

Was he faking it?

Abel looked at Luca and smiled. "This wine is quite strong, and I think I'm at my limit. Dr. Albus..."

Before he could finish the sentence, he slumped on the table.

Dr. Albus and his assistant exchanged glances.

The assistant said, "How are you feeling, Dr. Albus? I'm a little dizzy..."

Dr. Albus smiled. His face was already red from the alcohol.

He lifted three fingers, but he could not keep his arm straight. "You're already drunk. Look here, how many fingers

is this?"

"I don’t get drunk so easily, it's..." Before he could finish his sentence, the assistant also slumped on the table.

Dr. Albus shook his head. "That's because you don't drink fine wine. This wine..."

As he spoke, he also slumped on the table.

Rhett had already passed out some time ago. Luca was the only one who was sober.

She glanced at the glass of water in front of her. After several toasts, she had already drunk half of the glass.

A while later, Abel lifted his head and looked at her.

Luca turned her head to meet his gaze.

"Aren’t you surprised?" Abel sat up straight. The smile on his face gradually morphed into something savage and

sinister.

"I can tell from your breathing that you’re not drunk," Luca said. The sound of Abel's breathing would be different if

he were knocked out.

She could tell that Abel was deliberately breathing evenly, which meant that he was not drunk at all.

"What do you want?" Luca asked. She did not want to beat around the bush when talking to him.

"I didn't expect that you’d come, even if you know that I've planned something for you," Abel said. He wondered if

her thoughts were as calm as her expression.

"Even if I don’t want to come, you won't give me the chance to decline," Luca said while crossing her arms in front

of her.

She was not yet capable enough to defy Abel's orders.

Abel glanced at the three other people at the table. "They're all drunk."

Luca raised her eyebrows. "So?"

Abel did not reply. Instead, he took out a box, in which contained a cigar.

"What do you want with them?" Luca asked.

"Nothing. I just want them to take a nap." Abel lit the cigar but did not drag from it.

Luca picked up the glass of red wine in front of her and sniffed it. The wine was pungent, and she could not discern

the presence of any drugs inside.

"Don't worry. They'll wake up in a few hours." Abel put the cigar on the ashtray.

Luca put the glass down and waited for Abel to continue.

"You're going to take a nap too," Abel said casually while looking at her.

"You drugged the water." Luca made a statement instead of asking a question.

Abel nodded and did not deny it. "Yes. The dosage in your water is much stronger than that in the wine."

"What do you want?" Luca could feel her head starting to spin when she inhaled the cigar smoke.

By now, she knew what drug it was.

It was a drug that would make her sleep, but it was not lethal. Combined with the cigar smoke, it would knock her

unconscious for a long time.

"You'll see." Abel could see that Luca's body was swaying and knew that the drug was taking effect. He took a drag

from the cigarette and blew a smoke ring. "I find New York boring, so you shall provide some entertainment for me.

I'd also like to see what Luke Crawford thinks about you."

He had gotten someone to keep an eye on Luca, so he knew that Luke was hospitalized and Luca had been taking

care of him.

Abel was curious to know if Luke's impression of her changed after the incident.
