Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 2963

Seeing how Lanie interrupted her, Luca reckoned that Luke had told the kids something.

Was he trying to hide the fact that he was going to the hospital?

Before Luca could voice her doubts, Aunt Neile seemed to have just remembered something. She nodded and quickly said, “Yes, Mr. Crawford is at the company. He'll be working until late at night today, so he won't be back for dinner. Ms. Craw, why don't you have dinner first?"

"Okay." She nodded without questioning further.

Even if the children were deliberately hiding it from her, there was nothing she could do. Besides, she would feel bad exposing the children's lies.

"Let's eat, then. Young Master Blanche, Young Master Tommy, and Ms. Rainie, go wash your hands." After saying that, Aunt Neile turned to walk into the kitchen to prepare the food.

Luca followed Aunt Neile into the kitchen to help.

"Aunt Neile, are you hiding something?" Luca asked.

Aunt Neile was startled. Then, she smiled and shook her head. "Ms. Craw, I'm not hiding anything."

Before Luca could expose her lies, she heard her say, "Mr. Crawford is really working overtime. Don't think about it too much."

"Alright," replied Luca. It was impossible for her to not overthink.

Was Luke really working overtime?

The thought of him at the hospital and her not knowing anything going on there made her feel even more uneasy.

However, if Aunt Neile and the children both refused to say anything, there was nothing she could do.

Luca did not bring it up again.

After dinner, Luca checked the children's homework.

She did not say anything until Aunt Neile got off work. After checking the children's homework, she imitated Luke's handwriting and signed his name.

Then, she watched cartoons with the kids.

While the kids were watching cartoons, she took a look at her experimental data. The sound of the cartoons did not disturb her. Her eyes may be on the paper, but all she could think about was Luke and the people at the hospital.

The three children occasionally exchanged glances as if they were discussing Luca's state. When Luca looked up, their gaze fell back on the television.

Luca knew why they acted that way, but the more they did it, the more uneasy she felt. She made up her mind to do something. After the cartoon show ended, Luca urged the children to wash up and go to bed early.

When the children fell asleep, Luca glanced at the time. Luke was not back yet.

If everything was fine at the hospital, Luke would not have stayed out this late.

Luca wanted to ask Johann, but she was afraid that Johann would not be on duty at this time. If she wanted to find out what was going on, she would have to ask someone who was on duty. She was embarrassed to keep asking him as well.

She sat on the living room sofa on the second floor and gave it sthought before calling Nina.

She did not want to trouble anyone, but the only person she could call right now was Nina. She wanted to go to the hospital to see what was going on, but she could not leave the children unattended.

Although the children were asleep, they would be scared if they woke up and saw that no one was home.

Luke had informed Aunt Neile, so if she had asked her to stay, Luke would have found out. He may even rush back before she reached the hospital, regardless of whether the matter was resolved or not.

Luca did not want him to go back and forth because of her, nor did she want him to go through so much trouble alone just to take care of her emotions.

She knew Luke too well, so she could not bear to watch him go through all of this.

“Nina, are you free tonight?" Luca asked Nina after she answered the phone.

"I'm free. What's the matter, Luca?" Nina asked.

After Vivian called her, Nina had called her too.

However, the scandal did not cause too much damage this time, so the call ended after she said a few words to tell her she was fine.

"I need to go out, but the kids are asleep. Can you cover and look after the children if you're free, Nina? I'm worried that they'll wake up in the middle of the night and see that nobody is home," said Luca.

Although Lanie was mature enough to make sure that nothing would happen to Rainie and Tommy, he was still a child, so Luca was still worried about them.

It was a common worry for all mothers.

"No problem, I'll go over there now," Nina readily agreed.

"Thank you." Luca was sincerely grateful.

"Don't worry about it. Percy is working overtat the company tonight anyway, and I'm bored at home. I can pass the tby looking after the kids. Plus, I can treat it as practice," Nina said with a smile. She was prepared to have kids the moment she married Percy.

If not for her health and recovery, she might have already been pregnant.

"Drive slowly. There's no need to hurry." Although Luca felt anxious, she still asked Nina to put her safety first.

"Don't worry, I'll go there now." After that, Nina ended the call and told Percy that she was driving to Luke's place.

Then, Luca opened the door for her.

"Nina, thank you so much." She looked at Nina, who was standing by the door, with a face full of gratitude.

"What are you talking about? You've helpedso much. We're friends, so we should help each other. Are the children sleeping upstairs?" Nina asked.

"Yes, I went to take a look just now, and they're all fast asleep." Luca nodded and welcomed her in.

"That makes my job easier, then. I'll just watch TV on the first floor to kill time." Nina smiled and walked in. "You need to head out, right? Hurry up, then. The earlier you get it done, the earlier you can come back. It's dangerous to drive late at night."

"Okay, I'll leave now." Luca smiled gratefully at Nina and drove off.

After Luca left, Nina walked to the living room. She did not go upstairs as she was afraid of waking up the children. She sat on the first floor, turned on the television, and watched the late-night programs.

Luca drove to the hospital, which was especially quiet at night. The patients were all resting in their wards, and there were only half the number of staff. There were not many family members walking around either.

The entire hospital was much quieter compared to during the day.

Luca looked at the inpatient department of the hospital and took a deep breath before entering.

Then, she took the elevator to the VIP ward floor.

The nurse on duty was slightly surprised to see Luca. "Ms. Craw, what brings you here at this tof night?"

"I'm here to visit Mrs. Norman," said Luca.

"Mrs. Norman? One moment, please. Visiting hours have passed, so I have to notify the patient. You can only visit if the patient agrees," said the nurse.

"Do you have to inform her?" Luca asked quickly when she saw that the nurse was about to do so.

"Of course. This has always been the policy at the VIP wards." The nurse looked at her with confusion. Luca regularly cby the VIP ward, so how could she not know?

Luca was put in a difficult position. She just wanted to linger outside the ward and peek inside as she was worried that Queenie would get emotional if she saw her.
