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

Luca was reminded of the situation at Crawford Manor when she thought about the kids.

Although Allison was in South Korea now and the situation at Crawford Manor would not be as belligerent as before,

Susan would not want them there.

The kids would probably suffer there if Old Master Crawford was not there as well...

Luca secretly let out a sigh, hoping that she could recover quickly so she could ask Luke to bring the kids back here.

Luca knew that her remaining days with them were numbered.

Luca would have to appreciate every moment she spent together with her children.

Once Luca was done preparing breakfast, Luca brought the food and headed to Luke's bedroom.

Luke was already sitting at his office desk and working early in the morning. He seized every second and minute to

handle his work. Luca could not help but feel inevitably nervous.

Luca looked at the pile of documents stacked up high on his table. She walked toward him and put the breakfast

down on Luke's desk. “Mr. Crawford, have your breakfast first."

"Alright." Luke took his breakfast from her. It smelled so good that it dispelled his earlier thought of skipping

breakfast. He took the plate of scrambled eggs from her and took a bite. The warmth of the eggs was just perfect.

It was good as usual, but he could smell that there was something different with the eggs.

"This doesn't taste the same," said Luke.

Luca explained, "I added some fresh herbs. It's good for your health."

Luke did not continue to ask as he knew Luca would not do anything to harm him. She would have done so if she

really wanted to physically harm him. She would not have waited until now.

The first chance she had was when he was in New York.

Luke would have died if it had not been for her. His nerves might have gotten affected, causing him to be disabled.

However, Luca tried her best to save Luke, and that was why he knew he would never harm him using a method

like this.

Luke finished the bread after he finished eating the scrambled eggs.

Luca watched Luke finish his breakfast, then she placed a pack of pills beside him. She said, "Mr. Crawford,

remember to take your medicine half an hour later." "Are you going out?" Luke raised his eyebrows.

“Yes. I've finished working on the documents. I have to go back to the office," said Luca. She had worked overtime

last night and finally finished translating the documents Jason brought over. Hence, she had to return to the office.

Luca thought of following up with the research going on downstairs. On the other hand, she wanted to get the new

documents too.

"Mr. Doyle will be coming later. You don't have to go back to the office," replied Luke.

Luca had no choice but to nod her head. Well, it might be a good idea for her not to go out. She could work on

studying the liquid that oozed from her wound while waiting for Mr. Doyle.

"I'm leaving first if there's nothing else." Luca carried the tray, turned around, and left.

Luke watched Luca leave, then continued with his work.

Luca had a few bites of breakfast after she placed the tray in the kitchen sink. Then, she turned around and headed

upstairs. She brought the test tube with her and walked into the study.

She had all her facilities in her study. Luca did not say anything since Luke and the kids had moved in to stay with

her. The study was solely hers.

Luke, who used to separate his bedroom from his study, cooperated with Luca. He gave Luca the study, while he

chose to work in his bedroom. The kids would not come into the study to play either.

Luca believed that Luke must have instructed the kids prior to that.

Luca held the test tube, extracted the liquid out of it, and began to study it.

She had to figure out what kind of drug Abel used on her as soon as possible so that she could recover.

The maid knocked on the door after a while.

"Ms. Luca, are you inside?"

"Yes." Luca put the test tube away, took off her glasses, and stood up. Then, she walked toward the door to open it.

The maid smiled and said, "I was knocking on your bedroom door just now but you weren't there. Mr. Crawford told

me that you should be in the study. And he's right indeed."

"What's the matter?" Luca asked.

"Ah, yes. Mr. Crawford asked me to inform you that Mr. Doyle is here." The maid passed Luke's message to her.

"Alright. I'm going down now." Luca nodded and closed the door of the study. Then, she headed to her bedroom,

carried the files in her arms, and trotted down the stairs.

Luca was about to head to the maid's room when she reached the first floor. However, the maid winked at Luca.

Luca stopped and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Crawford was yelling just now. Something bad must have happened. Ms. Luca, it'd be better for you to wait

here so that you won't accidentally offend Mr. Crawford when you go in." The maid gave Luca a kind reminder while

she was still holding the rag in her hands. She had planned on cleaning Luke's room.

However, the maid just stood where she was and dared not to move when she heard Luke yelling angrily in the

maid's room. She was afraid that she would offend the person in the room by making a sound and get herself fired.

Luca stopped and stood there together with the maid.

Luke was angry?

Luca fell silent and listened to the noises in the room.

She heard nothing.

"Did Mr. Crawford really get angry just now?" Luca asked suspiciously.

“Yes. Mr. Crawford was yelling just now, and he said something harsh like he would ask Mr. Doyle to resign

immediately if he couldn't handle the matter well,” The maid nodded and said in a soft voice, afraid that she would

be heard by the people inside.

"That's serious." Luca was startled. She stared at the door to the maid's room. The door was closed, and the noises

inside had gotten softer. She could not hear anything.

Luca wondered if it was regarding the matter that had happened in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

It was either something had gone wrong with the application procedure for Dr. Albus' product launch or the

company project. Only those two things could make Luke lose his temper.

However, the project seemed to be going smoothly, and she had not received any bad news about it...

Hence, Luca suspected that there must be something wrong with Dr. Albus' research.

Luca took her phone out of her pocket and opened the group chat for Watson Biopharmaceuticals. As expected,

the group chat was bombarded with messages. Luca had muted the group chat, so Rhett would always keep Luca

informed when there was something related to her and her job. That was why she did not find out what had

happened in the first instance.

Luca found out that Dr. Albus' application for the patent and product launch had been turned down through the

conversation in the group chat.

The reason was that a biopharmaceutical company with foreign investments had already applied for the patent

using the same research findings and formula. There were rumors that they would be launching the product in two

days.

The company's commissioner had already discussed the market price of the product with the Food and Drug

Administration. That was why Dr. Albus' research was not approved. Furthermore, he might be accused of stealing

someone's research.

Luca lowered her eyes when she read those messages.

She felt guilty, but there was nothing she could do now.

Luca was no longer looking at the messages in the group chat. It would not change anything even if she read those

messages.

Luca had stolen Dr. Albus' research and given it to Abel. She watched Abel sell the research to someone else, and

there was nothing she could do about it. She even got stabbed twice.

Luca lowered her head and smiled bitterly.
