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

“Yes, you told me. How else would I know?" Luca insisted and took a sip of her lemon tea to hide her guilt.

"Really? Maybe I forgot..." Nina had no recollection of her telling Luca those things.

However, she had complained to her about Jean a lot, so she suspected that she had said so much that she forgot

what she even said.

"I guess so. You've been working too hard lately, so it's only normal that you don't remember little details like

these," Luca said as she sipped on her lemon tea with her straw while lowering her gaze.

The two of them continued to sit there and sip on their tea.

Nina told Luca about many other things until someone's phone rang, which made their conversation come to an

abrupt end.

Luca glanced at the caller to see that it was Queenie.

"I'll take this call," she said to Nina before answering the phone. "What is it, Mrs. Norman?"

"Luca, what's wrong with your voice?" Queenie noticed that her voice was a little raspy.

"I have a cold. Is everything alright?" Luca knew that Queenie must be calling her to talk about Leia.

Leia was in stable condition right now, so there should not be any complications. Why was Queenie calling her?

"Sorry, I didn't know you had a cold.." Queenie felt bad when she heard that Luca had caught a cold. She glanced at

the door of the ward and asked out of concern, "Are you feeling any better?"

"I've gotten much better. It's not that serious anymore. Don't worry, Mrs. Norman, you can speak now." Luca

noticed how cautious she was, which convinced her that it was about Leia.

Leia heard her talk and was a little uncertain. Was that Jack's wife?

"Here's the thing. Leia just had the operation, right? A little problem occurred, but Dr. Park said it's normal and she'll

be fine if she takes good care of her body. However, I'm still a bit worried, so I want to ask you to come over to see

if you can do anything to help Leia recuperate," Queenie said slowly.

She intended to let the doctors at the hospital do it, but after bringing it up to Leia, Leia suggested letting Luca help

her.

Queenie felt embarrassed to bother Luca as she had put Luca through so much trouble in the past because of Leia.

Helping patients recuperate was not her specialty, but Jack mentioned that Luca was great at it.

Leia even insisted on having Luca help her because she was better and even Johann said so.

For the sake of Leia's health, Queenie had to shamelessly make this call to Luca.

"Recuperate?" Luca was stunned as she was a little hesitant to help Leia, not because she was selfish but because

Leia would never accept her good intentions.

If Leia was willing to accept her kindness, perhaps she would not need to get a liver transplant in the first place.

"Yes. If you're not free, then that's fine." Queenie heard the reluctance in Luca's tone.

"Mrs. Norman, it's not that I don't want to. It's just that I don't know if I can do a good job. Plus, Ms. Norman was

quite opposed to me treating her before. I'm afraid of making a fool of myself..." said Luca as Leia had hated her

for a long time.

Luca recalled the last time she gave Leia dry needling. If not for the fact that Leia had trouble getting up, she might

have chased her out of the place.

"It's different this time. Leia was the one who suggested it. Luca, can you help Leia, please?" Queenie pleaded as

she was confident about Luca's skills too.

With the help of Luca and Johann, Leia might be able to recover in a couple of weeks.

Luca could not turn her down, so she had no choice but to say, "I'll try, but only after a few days. I haven't

completely recovered from my cold yet, and Ms. Norman is still fragile."

"It's okay. You should get better soon." Queenie sighed after she agreed and said, "Then I won't bother you

anymore, Luca."

"Okay." Luca ended the call and put the phone aside.

"Was that Jack's wife?" Nina asked out of curiosity.

"Yes." Luca nodded.

"I heard that Leia came back secretly and was even hospitalized. The situation doesn't seem to be going well?" Nina

had also seen the entertainment news reports.

"Yeah, but she had an operation and is currently recovering." Luca bit the straw and sipped her lemon tea.

"She already went for the surgery, yet she's still asking you to help her recover. That girl, Leia, is really something."

Nina did not have a good impression of Leia. To her, she was cunning and full of craft.

"It's because she had the surgery that she needs to undergo post-op treatment. It's not that difficult anyway," said

Luca as she would never refuse Queenie's request.

"You just don't know how to say no. Leia is not that decent of a person. Be careful," Nina urged because even if she

ignored the past, Leia's character itself was problematic.

If Luca helped her, she could bite back at Luca at any time.

"It's okay. Don't worry about it too much." Luca smiled and shook her head. So what if Leia caused her more

trouble? She was no longer the old Bianca anyway.

"I get a bad feeling every time I hear her name and think about when.." Nina paused as she thought that she should

not mention Bianca in front of Luca that much.

Besides, Bianca was Luke's wife, and Luca's identity was a little.

"I know you're saying it for my own good, but with Ms. Norman's current state, she won't be the same as before

once she recovers. Don't worry," Luca reassured her so that she would stop worrying about

these things.

"You'll be in touch with her anyhow, so just be extra careful. You said Jean is a troublemaker. Well, Leia and Jean are

the same people." Nina had seen through them. Jean had done so many misdeeds just to get Bianca, but in the

end, he still fell into the hands of Marie.

On the other hand, Leia had done a lot of absurd things just to get Luke. She was lucky that her family was well-off

and she had money from her celebrity days, so she could pay someone else to take the blame.

In the end, the worst punishment she got was just getting sent abroad.

If Leia's living conditions were the same as Jean's, perhaps she would still be in jail after all the bad things she had

done.

"Fine, I'll be careful. Don't worry," said Luca.

Both of them sat in the cafe for a while longer before going their separate ways.

After Luca returned to her office and put down her phone and briefcase, she changed into her lab coat. Before

entering the laboratory, she put on a mask and a face shield as a barrier from germs as she had a cold.

When Rhett saw her walk in, he stepped forward and said, "Dr, Craw, you should get more rest if you're not feeling

well. It'll be okay to just have the other researchers here."

"It's alright. I've been sick for two days already, so it's bearable now," said Luca as her cold symptoms had reduced

a lot, her nose was longer blocked, and her throat was not sore anymore.
