Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1518

Luke thought that Tina’s suggestion made sense. He picked Luca up, went to the bathroom, and placed Luca in the bathtub.

“I’ll help Dr. Craw clean up, Mr. Crawford. You should step outside for a while,” Tina said.

“Mm.” Luke shot a glance at Luca. Her arms were propped to the sides of the bathtub so that she did not slide. Her eyes remained closed, but she was conscious.

Luke stepped out of the bathroom.

Tina went inside and closed the door.

“Pardon me,” she muttered under her breath before walking over to the bathtub. “Lethelp you clean up, Dr. Craw. The water in the pool isn’t clean.”

Luca did not open her eyes or give any reaction.

Tina treated her silence as acknowledgment. She turned on the taps and started cleaning Luca.

They were both women, so Tina did not feel embarrassed. She deftly cleaned Luca’s body while carrying out the task Luke had tasked her.

She had been wondering how she would accomplish the mission. Fortunately for her, Luca’s accident at the pool gave her the opportunity.

After bathing Luca, she drained the water from the bathtub, then used the hairdryer to dry Luca’s hair.

Tina helped Luca put on a bathrobe after drying her hair. She checked Luca’s body again and did not find a tattoo.

When all was done, she opened the bathroom door. Luke was sitting on the couch outside.

“It’s done, Mr. Crawford,” Tina said, though she was shocked that her boss cared for Luca so much.

Every gesture showed care for Luca, other than the part where he asked Tina to find the tattoo on her body.

Luke stood up and went to the bathroom. He picked up Luca, who had already changed into a dry bathrobe, in a bridal carry.

Luca’s head leaned onto his chest.

To nearly drown was a horrible sensation. She felt that her throat was swollen and sore, though it was pure bliss to lie in Luke’s arms.

Luke walked out of the bathroom and placed her on the bed.

Luca felt the soft bed beneath her. Luke pulled his arms away.

She hoped that she could feel that warmth again…

“Mr. Crawford, allowto take care of Dr. Craw. You should have sother matters to attend to,” Tina volunteered.

“Don’t worry about me. You should join the others at the pool.” Luke sat down on the couch and looked toward the bed.

Seeing that Luke wanted to take care of Luca, Tina did not say anything. She knew that she should keep her mouth shut instead of speculating about their relationship.

She nodded and left the room. After she closed the door, she sent a message to Luke: [I’ve checked, Mr. Crawford. Dr. Craw doesn’t have a tattoo on her body.]

After that, she went downstairs.

In the room, Luke received Tina’s message. He did not say anything, but he sank into deep thought as he looked at the woman on the bed.

If Luca’s body did not bear the tattoo, did it mean she was not from the Island of Despair?

‘No, not necessarily,’ Luke thought for a while and rejected that thought. Even though she did not have any tattoos on her body, her movements were suspicious, and her background was too perfect.

It was as though someone behind the scenes was sculpting the perfect character…

Luke recalled the scene at the pool. Luca tried her best to swim freestyle, but she could only manage a crawl.

That reminded him of Bianca. She was like that too…

No matter how hard she practiced swimming, she could not do it properly.

Seeing the similarities between Bianca and Luca, Luke could not help but suspect Luca shared some sort of relationship with Luca.

Perhaps, they might even be the sperson…

‘That can’t be. If Luca is really Bianca, she wouldn’t have kept it hidden from me,’ Luke thought.

He knew that Bianca loved him very much. Even when the rest of the world thought he was dead, Bianca never gave up on him.

That was why he thought Bianca would not hide any truths from him…

Luke gazed at Luca on the bed and thought, ‘Just who is she? What does she want from me?’

On the bed, Luca was not asleep. She felt horrible, so she closed her eyes and pretended she was oblivious to her surroundings.

She knew that Luke did not leave. She also knew that Luke wanted to stay and asked Tina to leave.,

She did not know the reason for him doing so, but she thought that it was the right choice to pretend to be unconscious. If she opened her eyes, she did not know what Luke might ask her.

…

Tina returned to the second-floor open-air swimming pool. Several researchers from Luca’s department crowded around her to ask her about Luca’s condition.

Tina replied, “She’s fine, don’t worry.”

“That’s good to know. Right, Tina, if you’re here, who’s taking care of Dr. Craw?” Zoey asked.

Tina opened her mouth but managed to stop herself from saying “Mr. Crawford is.” She smiled and said, “Dr. Craw said that her condition isn’t that awful, and she said that she wants to rest for a while. That’s why I cdownstairs. How’s the competition coming along?”

Jason heard what Tina said. He guessed with absolute confidence that Luke was taking care of Luca in the room.

It was right for Tina not to say it.

If she did, everyone would start to make up stories about how Luke and Luca were alone in a hotel room.

He knew that Luke was not that kind of person. He believed that Luke was truly taking care of Luca in the room.

From what happened earlier, he could tell that Luke had no interest in the competition. He could not understand what Luke’s motive was behind organizing it.

“It’s almost the finals. You cback just in time,” Jason answered, shifting the conversation topic.

However, Zoey persisted, “Huh? I don’t think it’s very safe to leave Luca in the room alone, right? I’ve heard of cases where a drowning victim was saved, but their lungs were filled with water, so they were suffering the effects of drowning even an hour later. I’m not in the finals. I should go upstairs and take care of her…”

Tina quickly grabbed Zoey’s wrist. Knowing that Luke was still in the room, there was no reason for Zoey to be there. She shook her head and said, “Don’t worry about Dr. Craw. She’s fine. Why don’t you watchwin the first prize?”

“But…” Zoey was still worried about Luca’s condition. After all, Luca was her superior at work.

She froze in her footsteps when she remembered what Tina said to her.

There must be a reason why Tina stopped her from going to Luca’s room.

‘Don’t tell me…’

Zoey glanced around the swimming pool and did not notice Luke. She immediately understood.

Their boss must be taking care of Luca in the room. That was why Tina got to cdown to the swimming pool.
