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

After half an hour, Johann walked into the bedroom to take Luca’s temperature. Given the effects of the antipyretic

injection, Luca’s body temperature was getting back to normal.

Johann let out a sigh of relief. After he left some antipyretics for backup, just in case Luca’s fever returned in the

middle of the night, he left Luke’s apartment.

When he left, he brought Nina along with him.

Since Nina did not drive here, when Johann offered to send her back to the hotel, she accepted his offer happily.

Both of them left the building and got into the car. Nina could no longer suppress the confusion in her heart. “Dr.

Park, you’ve known Mr. Crawford for such a long time. Do you get the feeling that something is wrong with him

recently?”

“Something is wrong with him? I don’t think so.” Johann knew what she was going to ask. He denied it with a smile.

Nina saw his smile that was as sly as a fox and pouted, “I know both of you are best friends. And men will certainly

cover it up for each other. But even if you don’t tell me, I can see that Mr. Crawford is giving Luca special

treatment. And he seems way too concerned about her.”

“No way! You probably got the wrong impression.” Johann denied it and pretended to act like he was surprised.

“It’s my instinct.” Nina reckoned he would refuse to tell her anything and continued, “All these years of knowing

Luke, I’ve never seen him care for other women except for Bianca. And you’re telling me I got the wrong

impression? How is that possible?”

“Have you ever thought that there might be some other reason that he cares about another woman?” Johann was

hinting at her.

After hearing that Nina was close to Luca, he could not let her ruin Luke’s plan.

“Nonsense. There’s obviously a motive when a man shows his concern for a woman. He can’t be giving it away for

free, right?” Nina rolled her eyes.

Johann smiled as he shook his head. Sure enough, the woman that Percy had fallen for, no matter how gentle and

quiet she was in front of others, was still meticulous and bright.

At least Nina was being straightforward now.

Johann found an excuse to help Luke. “You’re really imagining it. Mr. Crawford is just cherishing his talent. The

progress of Dr. Craw’s research project is the fastest in the company. If everything goes smoothly, the research will

be successfully done in a few months. Then, they’ll apply for patents and launch the product in the market. Dr.

Craw is an indispensable talent to T Corporation. When her medicine launches in the market in the future, it’ll

generate huge profits for the company. The share price will naturally double up. Everything that Mr. Crawford does

is to keep this incredible talent.”

Nina listened to his explanation, and it was indeed reasonable.

However, the boss had done so much just to keep his employee. It was still strange.

when Johann saw her pondering and keeping silent, he smiled and said, “Mr. Crawford knows what he’s doing.

Things aren’t as what you think.”

“What do I think?” Nina questioned him back.

Johann smiled and parked the car in front of the hotel’s entrance. Some things were better left unsaid. He did not

answer her and reminded her instead. “We’ve reached.”

Nina shot a glance at him. She did not continue to ask insensibly. After she thanked him, she

unfastened the seat belt, pushed the door open, and got out of the car.

When the man sitting in the lobby saw her getting out of a man’s car, he informed Percy immediately.

Nina walked into the hotel and noticed that three people sitting in the lobby were missing. The two men remaining

there seemed to be the same people who had been sitting there since noon. She could not help but wonder if they

did not have to work or eat.

They had been sitting here for the whole day as if their jobs were to guard the hotel.

Nina’s expression changed as something crossed her mind. She looked at those two men again. They had noticed

that she was looking at them, so they avoided her gaze.

With that, she was able to confirm that the two men in front of her were probably Percy’s men!

He still refused to let her go and even sent people to follow her…

Nina clenched her fists at the thought of this. This man had a blissful life, yet he still wished to continue to torture

her.

She had been trying so hard to get rid of the trauma that Percy gave her. She wanted to start a new life, but this

man was constantly reminding her that even though she had left and they were no longer in a relationship, he was

still there!

…

On the other hand, Luca woke up not long after her fever went down.

She looked at the familiar ceiling and knew where she had been sent back to.

She was feeling uncomfortable earlier but did not tell Nina about it. She had only refused to come back here

temporarily but never expected to be sent back here so soon.

Luca turned around and looked. There was no one at the bedside. She looked again, and there was no one in the

bedroom.

She sat up on the bed and unconsciously reached her hand out to her forehead to check her body temperature.

The fever had gone down.

Luca walked out of the bedroom and saw the caretaker sitting on the sofa. She asked, “What time is it now?”

The caretaker stood up when she saw that Luca was awake. “Ms. Craw, it’s eight in the evening. You were having a

fever and didn’t wake up till now.”

Luca nodded her head. She did not ask how she got here. It must be Luke who sent her back.

It was because when she was in a feverish daze, she seemed to have heard his voice. She also felt someone

carrying her.

Although she did not open her eyes, she could sense that familiar feeling.

In the past when Luke carried her in his arms, that feeling had always been kept deep inside her heart. She was still

able to remember it clearly now. The feeling made her heart race.

The caretaker saw her standing there without saying anything. She asked, “Ms. Craw, I made some oats with

bananas. Do you want to have some now?”

“No thanks. I’m not hungry,” Luca replied. After the fever, her mouth felt bland and she had no appetite. “Where’s

Mr. Crawford?”

“Mr. Crawford has left. He probably went home,” the caretaker answered.

Luca nodded her head and sat on the sofa. Although the fever had gone down, her body was so weak. She was

doubting if Abel had added something else to her antidote. Otherwise, why would she have such a reaction?

The apartment’s door was pushed open. When Luca heard the noises, she turned around and took a look. It was

Luke.

He was carrying a bag in his hands. It was the bag she had brought to the hotel back then…

“I got it back for you.” Luke saw her awake and sitting on the sofa. There were no changes in his expression. He

was behaving so indifferently as if he was looking at a stranger.

Luca knew what it meant. It meant that she should come back.

Nina would be checking out of the hotel tomorrow while she was brought back here.

“Thank you, Mr. Crawford.” Luca thanked him politely.

Luke put the bag down beside her and said, “Nina mentioned it just now. And your phone has been ringing for a few

times.”

Luca was a little jumpy when she heard that.

Her phone would not just ring for no reason. Other than for work matters, no one else would call her.
