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

“Yes, I said that too." Queenie was busy admiring Luca's beauty. Luca had always dressed up casually, and she

looked pretty even then. Now that she was all dolled up, she was even more stunning. She could not help but

compliment Luca.

"Thank you. You look great too." Luca felt embarrassed receiving compliments from them. She lowered her head a

little and looked down.

Wanda laughed and took a sip of the red wine before saying, "Luca, let me tell you something. My father has been

taking the medicine you prescribed and using the herbal concoction to soak his feet in. He feels a lot more

comfortable now. He can sleep early every night without waking up in the middle of the night all of a sudden. He'll

only wake up around six in the morning. You're amazing."

Luca nodded as she listened to Wanda's feedback.

She already knew that her prescription would have long-term effects on Old Master Rayne. That was why she was

not surprised to hear that when Wanda told her about it.

Queenie, who was listening, said in surprise, "Did Luca treat Old Master Rayne?"

"Yes! It's all thanks to Luke for bringing her over. After she checked his pulse, she gave him a prescription. The

medicine works effectively. He's been taking the medicine for quite some time now and is getting better. I seldom

hear him complaining that he's in pain anymore. It's unlike those medicines that he used to take. After he took them

for a while, they no longer had an effect on him. I must say, Luca, you're very impressive." Wanda complimented

Luca.

Luca looked at Queenie and thought of Leia.

Too many things had happened during this time and she forgot to ask about Leia's situation. However, Queenie did

not contact her either, so she reckoned that Leia's situation should be under control. She asked, "Mrs. Norman,

how's the patient?"

She intentionally used the word 'patient' to refer to Leia as Wanda was here too.

Queenie smiled gratefully and replied, "The prescription you gave me is good. Her condition is much more stable

now. It's a pity that this kind of illness is irreversible, so she can only take things one step at a time. We'll see how

things turn out."

Jack, who was standing beside her, heard what his wife said. He recalled what Luke had mentioned to him before.

After that, Queenie mentioned to him that she thought of giving money to Leia to buy an organ from the black

market.

He was outraged. Leia's condition was not that serious at first. She would have recovered if she was willing to take

the medicine that Luca prescribed. Leia was the one who got herself into her current situation.

Jack talked to Queenie after knowing what she had in mind. He regained control over the family's finances. He did

not give her a chance to be soft-hearted.

At the same time, he warned the two elders in the house not to have a soft spot for Leia. The Norman family's

reputation would be ruined if they fell for it.

Luca noticed that something was wrong with Jack's expression and thought it might be because of Leia. She should

not be asking, but she could not help herself and asked with concern, "Mr. Norman, what's on your mind?"

“I guess everything was doomed to be this way. If she was willing to take the prescription you gave her from the

beginning, things wouldn't have turned out this bad, right, Luca?” Although Jack was furious with Leia, he was still

kind to Luca.

After all, after she saved Queenie, she had left a good impression on him. With time, it only got better and better.

“That's right, but things have come this far. If she can recover her health after she's discharged from the hospital, it

wouldn't be too difficult for her in the future,” Luca answered.

Queenie let out a sigh.

She had initially thought of getting a new organ for Leia, but it was impossible when she thought of it now. She was

worried that she would put Jack in a difficult position because of her soft-heartedness, which was why she agreed to

let him manage the family's finances now.

Her daughter was important to her. However, the man she had spent her whole life with was much more important

to her.

Luca took Queenie's hands and comforted her in a soft voice, "She'll get better.”

Queenie held her hands too. She felt warmth surging in her heart. She smiled and nodded her head.

As Wanda listened to their conversation, she made a rough guess and comforted Queenie too. "Things won't keep

getting worse. That's the best thing about misfortune. Don't worry, she'll certainly get better with Luca's help."

“Yes, Luca's capable. She'll get better.” Queenie exclaimed. She thought it must be fate that brought her and Luca

together.

Although they met each other because of Luke and she had mixed feelings for Luca, she knew that the familiar

feeling she felt toward Luca was not fake.

Luca looked down as she listened to the two closest people to her were talking about her. It left such a sour feeling

in her.

The only thing that she hoped now was that with her return this time, she would be able to bring them happiness

and improve their health. She did not want to bring them disasters.

After the master of ceremony finished making his speech on the stage, it was Old Master Mallory's time to give a

speech. The old master's speech was formal, but he received warm applause. Then, it was Luke's turn to give a

speech.

All this while, Luca had not looked at the stage. However, she could not help but look over at this moment.

Luke was standing in the middle of the stage, holding a microphone. He thanked everyone for their support and

concern. He looked great and invincible.

People would applaud and cheer with every sentence he said.

Luca looked at the man on the stage. As moments passed, she could only hear his voice in her ears. His hoarse yet

powerful voice tempted people to follow such a leader.

She could not resist the man's charm since she was in high school.

The applause was getting deafening as he continued speaking as though these people were his fans. It was

exaggerated.

Luca only had eyes for Luke.

When Luke was done reciting the last sentence of his speech that he had memorized, he looked at Luca's table. The

moment they met each other's eyes, he smiled faintly.

The photographer turned the camera and focused on him, projecting that smile of his on the big screen.

Everyone was confused. Did Luke smile just now?

However, the smile only lasted for a second as though they had imagined it.

Even though he was a little far away, Luca could still see his smile. It seemed like he was looking at her table. Was

he looking at her?

She withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at the man on the stage.

The banquet officially started after the speech. The hotel's ballroom was bustling with noise and excitement. Luca's

mind was far away, so she could not enjoy the food and drinks.

Wanda noticed that Luca was absent-minded and asked, “What's wrong? Luca, does the food not suit your taste?"

"Ah, no. I'm just not that hungry." Luca found a random excuse to explain her behavior.

Wanda added, "Eat some more even if you're not hungry. You're too skinny, just like our Bea. That's no good. Come

on, have some more."

She helped Luca with a few dishes and placed them on her plate. Luca recalled that Wanda had always thought that

she was too skinny. The Rayne family was poor at that time. They did not have much money to buy food, so Wanda

would always think of buying her food to make her eat more and grow fatter.

Kevin and Old Master Rayne were the ones who raised her, but Wanda had also taken care of her.
