Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1170

Chapter 1170 The Other Woman

"Madam felt uncomfortable after dinner so she went to rest early," the caretaker replied.

"Okay." Luke nodded, walked to the second floor, and gently pushed open the door of the master bedroom. It was dark inside and it seemed that Bianca had gone to bed.

He did not wake her up. He just closed the door and walked to the study.

Bianca, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes. She turned around and looked at the closed door while flashing a chilling smile.

If it were before, she would have made a lot of noise after seeing the news, but she could not afford to do that right now.

What she had to do was to give Luke stto manage the situation, and at the stime, she had to make herself seem magnanimous.

Bianca used to be like this, so she had to act as such too.

The more she acted like this, the deeper Luke's guilt toward her would become.

Bianca took out her phone. She did not care that it would hurt her eyes to look at her phone when the lights in the room were switched off. She opened the web page and was overjoyed as she read the comments.

Luke took out his phone as well. After thinking about it, he called Luca.

Luca, who was working, heard her phone ring. She put down the pen and answered the call.

Luke was calling.

"Hello." She had never talked to Luke on the phone before, so she could only pretend that she did not know who was calling her.

"It’s Luke." Luke's heart tightened when he heard the soft voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, it's you, Mr. Crawford. Hello, why are you calling so late?" Luca asked.

"Have you seen the news?" Luke asked.

"What news?" Luca paused. She has been working since she delivered the package and had not paid attention to the news.

"Open your browser and have a look. Also, if you don't want to go to work tomorrow, you don't need to," Luke said. He mentioned that because he thought that she would be emotionally affected by it considering that she was involuntarily involved in this drama. Besides, there were a lot of people calling her all sorts of names on the internet.

While listening to him speak, Luca opened the browser and typed in Luke's name. She immediately saw the news he was referring to.

She quickly scrolled through until she reached the bottom of the page. She saw the comments left by netizens.

Most of the comments were directed at her. They said she was shameless and called her the other woman. They scolded her for meddling in another party's marriage for the sake of her career and destroying their relationship.

Luca’s gaze gradually turned cold as she said, "Oh, so this is what you were referring to. Mr. Crawford, don't worry. This news won't affect my work."

Luke listened to her calm tone. It did not seem like she took the news to heart. He opened his mouth and felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. He wanted to say something but he could not bring himself to. He slowly swallowed his words and felt a pang of pain.

He wanted to ask Luca whether she really did not care about this.

In the end, he kept his thoughts to himself and said, "Okay. If you want to take stoff, Dr. Cole can approve your leave at any time." "Mr. Crawford, we're both innocent. If you wantto take a leave of absence at this moment, won't things get more suspicious?" Luca looked at the screen, her expression growing colder and colder.

The netizens were calling her a shameless mistress, but none of them knew that she was Luke's rightful partner.

These people did not know right from wrong because she was forced to change her face. They did not know the truth, so it was natural for them to be easily misguided by the news.

Luca felt sad but understood her circumstances.

She could not exercise these rights given by Luke. Otherwise, those with ill- intent would take advantage of it to make things worse.

"I'll find this reporter as soon as possible and give you peace." Luke listened to the coldness in her voice. It seemed that she really did not care about this. There was nothing more that he could say.

"Yes, this is indeed annoying. Mr. Crawford, please hurry and take action." Luca was tearing up, but she kept blinking and forced the tears back.

After she said that, she ended the call.

It was not that she did not want to listen to Luke's voice anymore but she was not qualified to.

Luke heard the busy tone on the other end of the phone and could not help feeling agitated.

The next day.

Luke took the medicine packet to the hospital and looked for Johann.

He placed the medicine packet on the table and said, "Get this tested as soon as possible and find out what's inside."

Johann raised his eyebrows when he smelled the strong herbs the moment the medicine pack was placed on his desk. He said, "Herbs? I can tell you what this is without going through a test." "I want to know what the herbs are for.” Luke was not in the mood to joke with him. He just wanted to know what these herbs were.

"Letsee." Johann slowly opened the medicine packet and identified the herbs one by one.

When Luke saw him picking up the last piece of herb, he asked, "What is this concoction used for?" "It's weird..." Johann mumbled to himself, "Where did you get this prescription?"

Luke told him about everything that happened in the Norman Residence the day before.

Johann clapped his hands and looked a little excited. "Get your mother-in- law to cto the hospital as soon as possible. I want to run a toxicology test." "She’s been poisoned?" Luke frowned.

"If you say that this packet was specially made for your mother-in-law, then there’s a chance that she was poisoned. However, this poison is not very common and the hospital wouldn't usually run these tests during blood tests," Johann said.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Luke immediately picked up his phone and made some arrangements. He informed Jack to bring Queenie to the hospital.

After Queenie arrived at the hospital, she was brought to the laboratory by the medical staff for a blood test before she even had tto say hi to Luke.

They took three tubes worth of her blood. She raised her head and asked," Dear, what's happening?" "Go along with Luke's arrangement." Jack did not know what was going on either, so he could only comfort her.

He was calm because he knew that Luke would never hurt them.

After the blood was drawn, the couple went to meet Luke.

Queenie was a little weak and sat in a wheelchair. She asked anxiously," Luke, is there something wrong with my body?" "Queenie, don't worry. Dr. Park realized that he missed out something during your previous check-up so he wants to re-do the test," Luke said. He did not want to scare them before the matter was confirmed.

Queenie did not continue asking, seeing that Luke refused to tell her the truth.

Even if he did not say anything, she knew in her heart that this should have something to do with the medicine packet that they received.

'Could it be that the woman from yesterday knows exactly what's wrong withand prescribed those medicines to help me?'

The more Queenie thought about it, the more excited she became. If that was the case, Luca was her savior!
