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

Susan dared not speak after being scolded.

Luca was looking down. Her heart was in a mess with roiling waves when she heard Mrs. Nancy say Luke had

specifically ordered her to prepare this.

It was just a minor injury...

Old Master Crawford went along with what Mrs. Nancy said and said caringly, "Ms. Craw, why didn't you tell us that

you're injured? I'm sorry to have troubled you to come back and forth. You had to take care of the children too.”

“It's just a minor injury. It's not a big deal.” Luca shook her head gently and took a sip of the stew. She savored the

rich taste of the stew.

There was more than just ginger and turmeric in the stew. There were also herbs that were good for health.

Luca scooped a spoonful and smelled it. She was sure that tonic had been added to the stew.

Young people like her were fine with drinking such nutritious stew. Elderly folk like Old Master Crawford should only

take tonics at appropriate times to nourish their bodies. Taking tonics too often would be too much for their bodies

to handle.

Luke was watching that small gesture of Luca's. It caught his attention.

Luca did not notice that Luke was watching her. She thought that Mrs. Nancy had been working for the Crawford

family for years, so she would never think of harming Old Master Crawford.

However, even if Mrs. Nancy had many years of working experience, there were some things that she might not

know.

Tommy, who was sitting beside Luca, took a sip of the stew. His brows furrowed at once. He tugged on her sleeves

and complained, "Ms. Luca, it tastes bad. Why are you drinking this?"

Luca replied to him in her heart, 'I don't want to drink this. It's Luke who's making me drink it.'

Did he have anything to do with the herbs added into the stew?

Luca soon dispelled her doubts.

Even though Luke looked indifferent, he loved and cared about Old Master Crawford. He was the one who raised

Luke. Hence, he would never do something like that.

"The stew is nutritious. Although it tastes awful, it's good for young people. Hurry up and drink it," Luca deliberately

emphasized that.

Whoever added the herbs into the stew would feel guilty once that person heard her say that.

Susan felt guilty at once when she heard Luca.

Luca mentioned young people and herbs just now. What else did she know?

She shot a glance at Luca while she was feeding Tommy the stew. She was feeding him patiently spoonful after

spoonful.

Susan let out a sigh of relief. It was probably a coincidence that she said something like that.

After Luca finished feeding Tommy the stew, she drank her bowl of stew and ate her dinner.

She did not say anything throughout the dinner. She was struggling with whether she should tell Luke about it.

The reason why she was in a dilemma was simple. If the tonic was added once in a while, it would not affect Old

Master Crawford's health much. However, it would probably affect him if he had it every day.

She was not sure if the tonic was usually added to the stew.

Luca was planning to leave after dinner.

Old Master Crawford spoke up when Mr. Griffin asked Uncle Zander to send Luca home, "Zander is having a cold.

Let him rest. Luke, please send Ms. Craw home."

Was he asking Luke to send her home? When Luca was about to reject his offer, Luke said, "Alright."

He stood up at once.

Luca looked at him. She had no choice but to follow him.

Tommy followed Luca's pace and walked out of the living room with her while holding her hand. He said, “Ms. Luca,

can't you stay here tonight? There's room for you on my bed. We have many guest rooms here too if you think it's

too much of a squeeze.”

Luca smiled when she heard the kid trying to make her stay. She stroked his head. “I've disturbed all of you for the

whole day now. I'm not staying anymore. Be good. I'll come and see you again."

Tommy listened to her as he watched Luke slowly drive the car toward them. He replied, "Alright. Ms. Luca, you'll

have to remember to tell us the rest of the story."

Luca had not finished telling them the story yet. She promised the kids that she would record the story down with a

voice recording pen and hand it to them.

“Sure." Luca pinched the kid's chubby face as she glanced at the car that had stopped in front. She headed to the

passenger seat, opened the door, and got into the car.

Luke drove and left Crawford Manor.

Susan stood beside the French window as she watched Luke drive the car away. She sighed. "Dad, Uncle Zander

didn't catch a cold. Why are you doing this?"

Old Master Crawford shot her a nasty look and sneered. "Why do you care?"

"Can't I be curious?" Susan was a little aggrieved after he told her off so harshly.

"Mind your business. I heard that Louis is moving his company recently. If you have nothing better to do, you might

want to consider helping him." Old Master Crawford was fed up with her gossipy behavior.

Susan sneered when he mentioned Louis' company. "I don't want to. It's such a small company. He can manage it

himself."

Old Master Crawford shook his head helplessly at her attitude.

She was unhappy that Louis left T Corporation and started his own business. She had even advised him many times

to return to work for T Corporation.

It was just that Louis' studio was getting better and better. He refused to listen to her, so the mother and son's

relationship remained taut to this day.

Old Master Crawford chose to ignore her.

In the car.

Luke was driving the car. He glanced sideways at the woman who was sitting in the passenger seat. She said

nothing and remained quiet since getting into the car.

He broke the silence first. “Did you find out anything during the dinner?"

Luca was startled. Did he notice that small gesture of hers?

"It's nothing important," she replied. Although he threw her such a question, she was still hesitating whether she

should tell him or not.

"Tell me." Luke already knew that she had discovered something. Even the subtlest changes in Luca's expressions

and gestures could not fool him.

"I noticed there were other herbs added into the stew. The herbs won't affect young people much. But for the

elders, it'll burden their bodies in the long term. Their bodies can't handle that much nutrition," said Luca. "I don't

know if the tonic is frequently added into the stew, so I was wondering if I should say it out loud."

"What tonic is it?" Luke grabbed the steering wheel tightly.

"Blood tonic. It's consumed to produce more blood cells in the body," Luca answered.

"Alright. Thank you." Luke thanked her after listening to her.

Luca's heart fluttered a little when she heard him thanking her. She picked up her phone and searched for a picture

of the blood tonic online. Then, she sent it to his Facebook and said, "I've sent the photo of the tonic to you. You

may investigate it first to confirm whether it's frequently added to the stew or not. It's alright if it's not."

"Sure," Luke replied and did not say anything more.

He did not know much about medicine. Mrs. Nancy had been the one preparing all the stews for more than ten

years, and there had never been a problem with it. Hence, he was not too worried about it.

However, if Mrs. Nancy had been adding blood tonic into the stews all this while, she must have something personal

against Old Master Crawford.
