Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 2982

Little chat? What should they talk about?

Luca's heart felt an inexplicable sorrow. Queenie seemed like she wanted to say something. She hardly needed to think deeply to know what it was.

Did she have to agree with Queenie and leave Luke?

She did not want to do that. Moreover, she had not forgotten Abel's warning.

She loved Luke, Queenie, and her three children, but she also loved Nyla. If she did not obey Abel's orders, not only would she suffer, but Nyla, who was on the Island of Despair, would suffer too.

She could not let the child suffer more because of her.

There were many psychos on the Island of Despair. She had to protect her daughter. Since she did not have the ability to save her child from the Island of Despair yet, she could only obediently follow Abel's instructions. This was the best way to protect the child.

If Luca pretended to agree to Queenie to leave Luke but actually went against her word, Queenie would eventually find out.

Luca understood human nature. If Queenie ever had doubts, even if her physical indicators returned to normal after being discharged from the hospital, she would frequently investigate Luke's life.

If Luca continued to be with Luke, Queenie would eventually find out.

Things would probably get worse when that happened...

Luca quickly thought about it. As Queenie noticed that, she made her breathing sound even heavier, like she was really struggling to catch her breath.

Johann, who was beside them, was witnessing this. He could not help but praise Queenie. Queenie, born to be an actress, portrayed even the difficulty in breathing so convincingly.

Luca was indeed Queenie's biological daughter. She never took any acting classes, but there were times when her knack for performing was just outstanding.

"The patient is having difficulty breathing. She requires oxygen." Johann, playing along, immediately stepped forward. He took on the role of an actor. He walked directly to the bedside, picked up the oxygen tube, and intended to give it to Queenie.

Queenie weakly raised her hand, pushing Johann's hand away with little strength.

"Mrs. Norman, you need it!" Johann cooperated with her, pretending to be serious.

"If... If Luca refuses to talk to me, I'd rather die than use it!" Queenie gasped for breath.

Luca's eyes reddened. Queenie was forcing her!

The discomfort in her heart surged even more with Queenie's words, and the escalating tension was colliding against the walls of her chest. She clenched her fists, thinking that there might be a way out.

Luca took a deep breath and looked at Johann. "Dr. Park, I'd like to speak to Mrs. Norman alone."

Johann nodded, shot a glance at Queenie, and handed the oxygen tube to her. "Mrs. Norman, if you can't breathe, you'll still need to use the oxygen. Don't force yourself."

After that, he turned away from Luca and blinked at Queenie. Then, he left the ward.

The ward was now left with only two people.

Luca remained silent as she slightly lowered her gaze. She thought about the words she wanted to say, figuring out how to start.

Queenie breathed heavily like a dying patient wanting to just live a few more seconds in this world.

However, the truth was not what it seemed. Queenie just wanted to prompt Luca to tell the truth with such actions.

Her poor daughter. How much hardship had she endured for the past three to four years?

Even though parents were supposed to protect their children, Queenie was unable to do anything. She felt her heart ache over it. This time, the sensation she felt was real and not an act. It was genuine pain that made her breathe a bit harder.

Luca's fingers tightened into fists as Queenie's breathing grew heavier. Her nails were digging into the palms of her hands.

Due to years of experiments, Luca had not kept long nails to prevent herself from accidentally scratching her palms. However, if she were to stretch out her fingers now, there would undoubtedly be deep nail impressions on her palms.

"Mrs..." Luca slightly opened her mouth.

Queenie, breathing heavily and with a pale face, said, "Ms. Craw, I love my daughter very much."

Luca was startled for a moment. She lowered her gaze and slightly nodded, indicating that she understood.

"My parenting may have failed, but luckily, fate smiled uponand brought my biological daughter back. She's a good and kind person. It's just that she experienced srough experiences that led her to study abroad. She loves Luke and the kids.

"So, I don't want anyone or anything to ruin her marriage. I know that in today's world, switching up is just part of the game. But as a mother, I can only do my best to protect my child and look after her life."

In line with what she had discussed with Luke, Queenie slowly articulated her words.

While the words cout smoothly, it was evident that it took her considerable effort to say them. Luca's body involuntarily trembled, teetering on the edge of emotional collapse as Queenie's words weighed heavily on her.

It was the first tshe heard Queenie say such things. She thought about how she had been hesitant to tell Queenie the truth due to various reasons.

The guilt, the discomfort in her heart, and a strong desire to slap herself rushed through her. She had fallen short in fulfilling her duties as a daughter!

She had been a bad daughter!

Her biological mother loved her so much, yet she had made her upset. She even did it for the sake of protecting her interests and marriage. Queenie was putting her own body on the line as a wager, just to drive away those who coveted her position.

There was a loud thud, and Luca kneeled on the ground.

Her knees met the floor without any buffer. The impact startled Queenie.

Queenie saw what Luca did and felt a pang of empathy. She wanted to rush forward immediately to help Luca up.

However, she could not do it now!

Luca was already on the verge of collapse now. Queenie needed to push her a little more. Perhaps Luca would spill the truth.

Queenie clutched her chest and took a deep breath.

"Mrs. Norman, please don't be stubborn. Could you please allowto treat you first? Once you're treated, I'll tell you the truth!" Luca lowered her gaze, tears already blurring her vision.

A teardrop fell on the floor before vanishing in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace behind.

Luca's eyes were now blurred with tears, and she was unable to see anything clearly.

"I don't need your treatment, whether you're serious or just pretending. I don't need it." Queenie heaved a deep sigh. She could feel the pain in her heart when she saw Luca in such a state.

Even though Luca's promise tempted her, she still held it firm.

Luke had warned her that if her condition improved, Luca might not confess. Furthermore, all of this was just an act, including the machines that had been tampered with by the technicians Johann had enlisted the help of.

However, Luca could figure out the truth with just one pulse check.

"My poor daughter is still overseas. If she finds out that I accepted treatment from a woman who's trying to ruin her marriage, what good would it do even if I lived to a hundred? I'd always felt guilty in my heart."

Luca could no longer hold back her tears and started sobbing.

"I can't accept your treatment even if I die. I didn't know back then, but now that I know about your relationship with Luke, I definitely can't accept it anymore. If you don't agree to leave Luke and my grandchildren today, I'll show you that I'd rather die.

"I'm useless anyway. I can't even protect my daughter's happiness. Oh, my poor Bianca... My poor Bianca, she loves Luke and the three children so much. But she won't be able to hold on to them. Everything is being taken away bit by bit. I'm... I'm worthless."

Queenie's voice grew weaker, trembling along with her cries.

Luca's heart skipped a beat. With a sudden jolt, she looked up and exclaimed, "Mom! I am Bianca!"
