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

Leia gazed sinisterly at the policewoman standing at the door as she held herself back and lay on the bed.
It was nighttime.
Luca was lying on the edge of the bed, browsing through the forums.
The top report was still the same as in the morning, and it was still going viral.
The comments below were similar to the comments she heard on the elevator today.
They were all talking about how liberal-minded Karen was, and how she was faking elegance and decency.
Some who held extreme views even suspected whether Pierre and Percy were really children of the Mallory family.
However, as soon as comments like these were posted, someone would reply to these comments almost immediately with
evidence to prove that Pierre and Percy were really part of the Mallory family.
Luca looked at the evidence. They were basically just photo comparisons of Percy and Daryl.
It had to be said that Percy indeed looked very similar to his father, Daryl.
Luca reckoned that Luke had someone monitor the comments to refute any hateful remarks toward Percy.
The similarity between the father and son was enough to subdue public opinion and scrutiny.
Luca did not find those comments interesting, so she put her phone aside and picked up the book on the bedside to read a bit
before going to sleep.
Then, Luke opened the bedroom door and walked in. He saw Luca reading, so he took off his shoes and climbed into bed. He
leaned on the edge of the bed and glanced at the book in her hand.
It was a book about medicine.
Luke raised his eyebrows and embraced her. “Is the research going well?"
“It's going well," said Luca as she calmly leaned on his chest. She pointed to a page in the book and said, "I also found out that
this article is similar to my field of research."

Luke was not particularly interested in pharmaceutics.
Watsons was originally established because pharmaceutical companies were quite profitable.
Plus, in a few years, he planned to do research on rare diseases once the company was qualified enough.
He would just focus on the management side of things and not be involved in pharmaceutical matters.
“Let me take a look." Luke quickly skimmed through the article. He did not understand most of the professional terminology, but
he understood the general idea.
The phone he placed on the bedside table suddenly rang. After handing the book back to Luca, he picked up the phone and took
a glance before looking at Luca again.
Luca had been looking at him the whole time, but when he looked back at her, her heart could not help but skip a beat.
Before she could speak, Luke said, "I'll go out and take this."
"Alright." Luca knew that he said so because the subject of discussion with the caller was not for her to hear.
In the past, she would not have minded it at all. Besides, T Corporation had many secrets that she was not supposed to know.
Now, at the thought of the people she knew in the hospital, she could not help but feel worried.
Plus, Johann mentioned that Luke did not want to add to her mental load, so he was hiding some things from her...
Luca wanted to know who called him.
After Luke left the room, Luca picked up her phone and called Johann.
"The number you have dialed is busy. Please try later."
Johann was on another call and could not be reached.
Luca's chest tightened up, so she immediately got out of bed, tiptoed over to the bedroom door, and opened it.
Luke was not in the corridor.
She walked out of the bedroom and glanced at the opposite bedroom. The door was open, but Luke was not inside.

Luca pursed her lips and went to the second-floor living room, but Luke was not there either.
Then, she gently went down the stairs. Before she reached the corner of the stairs, she heard Luke talking on the phone.
"Alright, I got it."
Luke's tone sounded serious.
Luca's heart started thumping hard again as she stood there to listen.
"I can't leave right away. If I leave suddenly, Luca will get suspicious. Try to calm her down first. I'll go to the hospital to give her
an explanation myself tomorrow," said Luke as he glanced toward the stairs. He was merely putting on an act.
Luca was probably listening by the stairs.
Although Luke did not tell her who the call was from, Johann had sent the screenshots of his conversation with Luca today. He
knew that he had her in the palm of his hand now.
After a while, he said, “I don't care how you do it, just calm her down. I don't want Luca to be up all night, worried.
"She's Bea's aunt, so I don't want her to act recklessly. Plus, Bea's grandfather is in the hospital too. If word spreads about this,
I'm afraid that the old man will be triggered again if they see each other.
"Yes, sedate her. I'll call her now.
"Then don't sedate her. Just calm her down and have the nurse look after her."
Luca could not hear the person on the other end of Luke's phone. She could only hear what Luke said.
She was certain that Luke was talking about Wanda...
Wanda must have gotten emotional after seeing the scandal between her and Luke. They must have had no other choice but to
call Luke.
Luke could not leave now because he did not want her to worry.
Luca's hands tightly grasped the solid wooden railing. She wanted to go up to him and suggest that they go to the hospital
together so they could explain to Wanda.

Would the problem be solved if she did that?
If Wanda saw her and Luke together, she might get even more triggered.
Luca did not dare to do it.
After hearing Luke bid farewell to the other person, Luca took a deep breath and quickly went upstairs.
Asking Johann to hide things from her and not letting her listen to his phone calls was all for her own good.
When she returned to the bedroom, she carelessly leaned on the edge of the bed and held her book. However, she could not
bring herself to read it.
All she could think about was Wanda.
Although she had already undergone surgery and had no cardiovascular complications, her emotions were crucial for her
recovery.
An optimistic cancer patient had a much higher recovery rate than a pessimistic one.
Luca was absent-minded as she tried to think about what she could do to make Queenie and Wanda believe the statements
released.
As she was thinking about it, Luke walked in.
Luca's gaze fell on him. "Are you finished with your call?"
"Yeah." Luke acted as if nothing happened and focused on Luca's face. Although she tried hard to feign ignorance, the gloom in
her eyes betrayed her.
Plus, the book in her hands was upside down.
Luca had definitely heard his conversation with Johann.
"Who called this late at night?" Luca asked. Although she knew that Luke would not tell her the truth, she could not help but ask.
"Jason called to ask me to decide on some work matters," said Luke.

“Do you need to go to the company, then?" Luca asked. Although she heard Luke say to use sedatives, she was hoping that he
would go to the hospital to take care of Wanda's situation.
She deliberately said so to give him an excuse to leave.
