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

Luke thought the only explanation that made sense was Luca's experiment must be kept secret.

The research she had been working on now was probably related to what was manipulating her.

Luke tapped his index finger on the armrest of the wheelchair. He looked like he was deep in thought.

Mrs. Laurel returned to the kitchen and continued her work without disturbing him.

At night.

Luca did not continue with her research as her equipment was not good enough. That was why she went downstairs

to have dinner when Mrs. Laurel informed her that dinner was ready.

Luke would certainly ask Mrs. Laurel to bring her dinner upstairs if Luca did not go downstairs to have dinner.

Luca did not want to be given special treatment.

Neither of them spoke a word when they were having dinner.

Luca's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at it, and after making sure that it was Amur who was calling her, she unconsciously turned to look in

the direction where Luke was sitting. She said in a soft voice, “Please excuse me. I'm going to answer the call."

Luke did not say a word.

Luca took her phone and left the dining room. She did not have to conceal her conversation with Amur. Hence, she

did not walk far away from the kitchen and answered the call in the living room.

"Amur, how did it go?"

"I went to visit the two labs that are available for rent. The first one has much more advanced facilities than the

second one. But the price is much higher as well. Also, the owner of the first lab told me that he only rents it out on

a monthly basis, so he's not accepting daily rentals. The second lab accepts daily rental," said Amur. He had gone

around asking for the details as he knew Luca would only need a few days to figure out what drug Abel had given

her.

Hence, it was not worth it if Luca had to rent the lab for a month.

"It's alright. Let's just go for the first one." Luca made up her mind. It did not matter how much she would have to

pay as long as the facilities were advanced enough. "Can you help me to reserve it now?" "I've asked for both the

owners' contact numbers. Are you sure you'd like to book the first one? I can contact the owner and get it done

now. You can come over here to do the experiments once the contract has been signed." Amur respected Luca's

choice.

They did not have to worry about money when they had such skills and capabilities.

"Alright. The sooner the better. Thank you," said Luca.

Amur knew she could not wait any longer to heal her wound. He agreed to help her settle this as soon as possible,

then he said helplessly, "Luca, you don't have to be so polite with me."

Luca blinked her eyes. Was this considered polite?

No, it was just her manners. "Amur, this is courtesy. And I'm sorry to be troubling you."

Amur let out a sigh. "Alright. I'll call the owner now. I'll go over to lend you a hand as well."

He refused to miss out on any chances of being together with Luca alone.

Luke was busy with his work, so he would definitely not help Luca. Moreover, he did not know about Luca's wound.

Therefore, Luca would probably go to the laboratory alone tomorrow.

Luca did not reject Amur's offer to help. She walked back to the dining room after she hung up the call.

Luke was still sitting at the dining table having his dinner with an indifferent look on his face.

Luca sat down and continued to eat her dinner. She did not mention anything about renting the laboratory.

Mrs. Laurel was cleaning up the table after dinner. Luca sat there with her eyes on Luke.

She had to head to the laboratory tomorrow, so she had to ask his permission to take leave.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Luke was straightforward. He could see that Luca was trying to tell him

something with just a glance.

Luca nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'd like to take a day off tomorrow. And I might need to

take another day off—"

Luke frowned slightly. Did it mean she was going to take a couple of days off?

"What do you mean by taking another day off?"

"I have to go back due to a family emergency, so I might need a couple of days to see to the family issues at hand."

Luca's hands were fidgeting uneasily under the table.

Would Luke approve it?

"Your home in Russia?" Luke became alert. The reason Luca asked for a few days off was probably related to the

power behind her.

"No, the one in A City," Luca replied honestly. Perhaps telling Luke that she had to go to Russia would make it

difficult for him to look into it, but she did not have any family members in Russia...

"Do you need help?" Luke asked.

"No, thank you. I can handle this myself." Luca shook her head. She dared not to let Luke know about this matter.

She was unable to explain why she was wounded, and there was no way she could tell him why she had been

concealing this from him.

Hence, Luca was going to deal with the matter without letting him know about it.

It was her own matter, so how could she drag Luke into this?

Luke's gaze was deep. It was as though it could see through her when he was looking at her.

Luca said, "I'll return to the office to work once I finish handling the matter. Mr. Crawford, is that fine?"

“Yes, but on one condition." Luke looked at her.

Luca was startled. On one condition?

She was merely asking for a few days off, but there was a condition?

"What is it."

"Ask for my help if there's anything you can't handle yourself." That was Luke's only condition. Bianca used to be

weak and would always think of him in the first instance.

Luca was not weak now, and she was stronger than before. However, she was too independent now, which made

her forget that Luke even existed.

Luke could actually help a lot.

"...Okay," said Luca. All sorts of feelings welled up in her heart.

"And one more thing..." said Luke. "No matter where you are, you'll have to put the matter aside and travel with me

to Russia for a business trip three days later."

Three days later. Luca pursed her lips. She would be in a bit of a hurry to finish the research within three days.

"Any problem with that?" Luke raised his eyebrows. "I can send someone to help you if you think you can't settle

everything within three days."

In other words, she must travel together with Luke three days later.

Luca shook her head and replied, "No problem."

Luca admitted Luke had made things harder for her by giving her a specified time. Firstly, they indeed had to leave

for Russia on that date. Secondly, Luke was still eager to know what she was up to.

Luke realized that Luca would rather bite the bullet and agree with him than tell him what she was working on. She

was determined to keep the matter to herself.

As usual, Luca helped Luke to clean himself up after she asked for his permission to take a few days off. Then, she

returned to the kitchen and said to Mrs. Laurel, "Mrs. Laurel, I'm going to be busy for the next few days. I'll leave

Mr. Crawford to you."

"Alright. I heard that you're going to take a few days off. Are you okay?" Mrs. Laurel asked caringly.

"I'm okay. Everything will be fine after I handle my business," answered Luca. She muttered to herself in her heart

that she would be in big trouble if she could not handle it well.

Mrs. Laurel let out a sigh and said, "Remember to tell Mr. Crawford if there's something you can't deal with. Mr.

Crawford is a kind person. He'll be willing to lend you a hand."

"I know." Luca smiled. Luke was a kind person, but not everyone could get his help.

However, Luke had taken the initiative to offer his help to her this time.

It was a pity that she would not need his help this time.

"The most important thing is to help Mr. Crawford clean himself up. I hung a bandage on the shower nozzle in the

bathroom. You can help him to get into the bathtub if he wants to shower. You just have to lift his wounded leg and

prop it on the bandage."
