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

Chapter 1363 She Was Not Happy

Luca was happy that Sue was so hospitable toward her. She took out the ointment from her handbag and asked,

"Who's the one who needs medical attention?"

"She's a friend of mine. She's sitting inside," Sue said. They went into the living room and saw Nina sitting on the

couch. "This is Nina Langdon, my friend and my colleague at work. Nina, this is Dr. Luca Craw."

Luca looked at Nina and, for a moment, did not know how to react.

She had checked on Nina's condition ever since she returned. At first, she was relieved to find out that Nina was still

together with Percy. After all, Percy could protect her.

Now that she looked carefully at Nina, she could tell that Nina was not happy.

Nina had lost a lot of weight, and she was nothing more than skin and bones. Tears welled up in Luca's eyes as she

looked at Nina.

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Craw." Nina smiled weakly when she looked at the unfamiliar face. Earlier, Sue had told her

briefly about Luca, and she could tell that Sue admired the woman.

She roughly knew who Luca was, and she had heard about Luca's scandal with Luke.

At first, Nina did not have a good impression of Luca.

"Nice to meet you," Luca said and nodded slightly. She noticed that Nina's exposed forearm was red, and several

blisters had formed on it.

She quickly handed the ointment to Nina. "This ointment is an antiseptic and a painkiller. You should use it."

Nina took the white, unlabeled tube and looked at it. "I've heard from Sue that you made this yourself."

Luca could tell that Nina was wary. She explained, "Mm, I made this myself. It's entirely made of herbs, and even

people with sensitive skin can use it without any side effects."

Sue smiled and said, "You can't find it anywhere else."

Nina nodded and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Luca’s heart wrenched when she heard Nina's distant reply. Even though Nina sounded calm, she

could sense the melancholy in her heart.

It seemed that Nina's condition had not become better over the past three years.

Sue said, "Quickly use the ointment, Nina. It's not going to become any better if you only use the ice pack. Alright,

I'll go and cook dinner. The caretaker had to leave earlier, so it'll take a little longer. There are drinks and snacks in

the fridge, so you can help yourselves with that. Make yourself at home, Luca."

Luca noticed that the caretaker and Jason were not in the house.

She could guess why Jason was not home yet. Amur had deliberately launched an attack on T Corporation's

company network, and they must still be busy fixing it.

Even though she knew the reason, Luca asked, "Where's Mr. Doyle?"

"Don't you know? He has to work overtime today because something happened in the company," Sue said. She

thought that Luca would have heard about it.

Luca shook his head. "I don't know. Watson isn't in the same building as T Corporation."

"That's true. I guess that's why it didn't affect you." Sue nodded.

Luca saw that Nina was applying the ointment on her arm. She stood up and said, "You're going to cook dinner

soon, right? Why don't I help you?"

"Huh?" Sue was surprised. "You're a guest. I can't possibly ask you for help."

"Don't worry about it. You said that you wanted to taste my cooking, right? This is a good opportunity," Luca said as

she walked toward the kitchen.

Sue considered that she would be making a mess in the kitchen because Jason and the caretaker were not around.

She walked into the kitchen and said, "How about I help you then?"

"Alright," Luca nodded and said.

Nina slowly applied the ointment to her arm as she watched the two women walk into the kitchen. She sank deep in

thought.

For some reason, she thought that Luca's silhouette looked familiar.

Jason had not returned after the three women finished their dinner. Luca was curious to find out whether they could

solve the problem.

She knew that Luke was capable, but his employees in T Corporation...

She wondered if she had given him too much trouble.

She was about to leave when Nina said that she wanted to leave too. "Dr. Craw, you didn't drive here, did you? May

I send you home?"

Luca was surprised. She said, "Our houses are in opposite directions, aren't they? I can catch a cab."

Nina shook her head and said insistently, "It's fine. It's already so late anyway, so it won’t take too long to travel in

opposite directions. I have to thank you for your ointment. My arm doesn't hurt anymore."

She gently rubbed her arm, surprised that the swelling had gone down so quickly.

Other than thanking her, Nina wanted to send Luca back because she did not want to go home so soon.

She would rather not face Percy...

Sue said, "That's a good idea. If Nina wants to send you home, you shouldn't refuse. After all, we're all friends now."

Luca thought that it would be rude if she continued to refuse, so she sat in Nina's car.

After giving her address to Nina, Nina inputted it into her navigation app and started driving.

Luca caught a whiff of the air freshener in Nina's car. Her tastes were quite similar to Nina's, and they had used the

same brand of air freshener three years ago.

"The air freshener smells quite nice," Luca said. She remembered that she and Nina used to be close friends, and

she could clearly remember the times they spent together.

"Do you like it? I still have two more bottles at home. I'll give you one," Nina said.

Luca shook her head. "I don't have a car."

"I love this brand of air freshener the most. Right, I used to have a friend who loves it too. I've heard that the

manufacturer was going out of business soon, so I got someone to buy a few more bottles from overseas. The

dinner you made earlier was excellent. My friend used to be a good cook too, and your cooking tastes quite similar

to hers. I can't really remember though, it was a long time ago," Nina babbled on.

Luca could not help but feel dejected after hearing that. She knew that Nina was talking about her...

Before she could say anything, Nina's phone began to ring.

Nina paused for a while when she saw her phone screen. The call was from Percy, and she had to answer it. She

put on her Bluetooth headset.

Percy's voice was immediately heard. "The maid said that you didn't come home for dinner."

"Sue invited me for dinner," Nina said. From what Percy said to her, she knew that he had not gone home yet.

Luca could tell that Percy was checking in on Nina.

She knew that Percy was an incredibly domineering person. From Nina's expression, she could tell that Nina was not

happy together with him.
