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

Chapter 3384 I'll Make Sure You Don't Get What You Want "Sure." Luca was unsure why he was suddenly interested in the volunteers. She led him into the room where the volunteers were.

Luke noticed that the volunteer's legs were covered in needles.

If Johann saw this, he would probably make a big fuss about it.

Luke watched as Luca carefully removed each needle, checked sof the volunteer's nerve functions, and offered a few reassuring words before picking up a tray filled with medical waste and leaving the room.

Once they were outside, Luke, not having seen the volunteer's previous condition, asked, "Were his legs completely immobile before?" "Yes. He said it was an injury caused by a machine malfunction at the factory. It hadn't been treated properly for years. By the the was sent here, his family didn't have tto help with massages, and his calves had atrophied. But now, as you can see, the muscles are gradually recovering, and he's starting to regain sensation. In another week or two, his legs should be able to move." Luca nodded. Abel was dissatisfied with the pace of the treatment, but from a medical perspective, it was already a miracle, and the recovery was progressing rapidly." This progress is already quite fast. If someone with a fresh injury had cto us right away, the recovery would've been even quicker." Luke began to calculate something in his mind.

"What's in your mind?" asked Luca.

Luke shook his head. "Nothing. Go ahead and focus on your work." "Alright." Luca nodded but then remembered something. "By the way, you're going out this Saturday, right?" "Yeah, and you can't go out, right?" Luke felt a bit helpless. Abel's arrival had disrupted their plans.

He could leave, but there was no way Luca could step outside right now.

If both of them left the base at the stime, Abel would undoubtedly becsuspicious.

"Right. It's not convenient forto leave." There was a hint of frustration in Luca's voice. If Abel had not shown up, she could have asked Shanks for stoff and gone out.

However, with Abel here, she had to stay put.

If she and Luke took toff at the stime, Abel's suspicious nature would undoubtedly cause trouble.

"I still have to go. Do you need anything? I can bring it back for you," asked Luke. He was thinking about how she had not brought anything with her when she arrived.

Luca shook her head. "Not for now. If I need something later, I can always get it when it's more convenient." "Alright." While the two of them were chatting, Hera stood around the corner, listening to their conversation. They spoke casually, like family members discussing everyday matters.

Jealousy burned even brighter in Hera's eyes.

No wonder Luca had tried to convince her to leave. It was not about Abel, it was about Lucius.

Luca knew she had feelings for Lucius and, lacking confidence, feared she would take him away from her. That was why Luca tried to persuade her to leave, was it not? Hera recalled the trouble Lucius had brought her, a storm that had almost destroyed her...

With her fists clenched tightly, she secretly swore she would make them both pay.

"You want to be together, do you? I'll make sure you don't get what you want," Hera muttered under her breath before turning and heading upstairs.

Suddenly, Luca frowned and walked forward a few steps.

"What is it?" asked Luke as he stepped closer and glanced around, but seeing no one.

"I just heard someone talking, but I couldn't make out what they said." Luca's hearing was sharp, and she was certain someone had been speaking. Even though the voice was faint and the words unclear, she was sure it was not her imagination.

She walked over but did not see anyone.

Luke, knowing her sharp hearing, did not doubt her words despite not seeing anyone. Instead, he believed someone had indeed been speaking there moments ago. "Did you catch what they were saying?" Luca shook her head. "I'm pretty sure it was Hera, but I couldn't make out the exact words." She was certain it was a woman's voice, and in the entire villa, the only women present were herself and Hera. "She really has a knack for sneaking around." Luke was rendered speechless. He turned around and added, "Hera isn't leaving anytsoon. She'll stay close to Abel, so be careful. Her tactics may be crude, but she has plenty of them." "I know, I'll go ahead and..." Luca felt a warmth in her heart as she pointed to the lab behind her. "I'll head back to the lab and get swork done." "Okay." Luke watched her leave before heading downstairs.

He had only descended a couple of steps when Hera's voice called out behind him. "You like her, don't you?" Luke did not stop, continuing down the stairs.

"Stop!" Hera shouted, anger bubbling as his indifference triggered memories of her previous experiences with him.

Back then, Luke ignored her because of Bianca.

Now, Lucius was ignoring her because of Luca.

She rushed down to black his path. "Tell me! Do you like that woman?" "It's none of your business." Luke furrowed his brows. Her confrontational stance reminded him of a shrew.

"I know you do!" Hera crossed her arms, her eyes blazing with jealousy and anger.

"Move," Luke said coldly without any expression on his face. If not for his dislike of hitting women, she would not have the chance to stand in his way.

Hera sneered with a dark smile, as though she had known all along. "Whether you deny it or avoid the topic, I know you have feelings for her. Last night, you weren't in your room, and you weren't with Gerald, was it? You were with that woman. I'll give you one more chance. No matter who you like, as long as you stay withwhile I'm here, I'll pretend I don't know anything. Otherwise, don't blme for being ruthless." "Hera." Luke's fists were clenched tightly, and his patience was wearing thin.

Anyone who dared to threaten him never ended well.

Hera would be no exception.

He reminded himself of his current role. He and Luca still had to rescue their kids. He could not let Hera ruin everything.

"So? Do you agree?" Hera thought she had the upper hand.

Luke stepped back. His gaze was full of disdain. "Stay away from meth don't hit women but if you keep this up, don't blme for not being nice." Hera froze for a moment, stunned by the disgust in his eyes. Was this... disgust? He actually refused to compromise for this woman? "Let's see what you'll do to me. You're the one forcing my hand." With a sharp remark lingering in the air, Hera spun on her heel and strode away.

Luke's face darkened. His expression was like a brewing storm. He wished he could get rid of Her@mmediately, NO.

offl not to harm her, but to ensure she never showed up in front of him again. He took a deep breath to calm himself.

Suddenly, Gerald appeared out of nowhere.

"How much did you hear?" Luke's expression darkened.

"Bro, don't worry! I heard it, but I swear I won't say a word to anyone," Gerald was clearly Worried Luke might punch him. He held up his fingers as though he was taking an oath. Luke's face was clouded with a heavy gloom.

"Honestly, you've got it pretty rough," added Gerald as he pointed downstairs. "There's beer in the fridge. Want one?" Luke nodded, following him downstairs. They grabbed beers from the fridge and headed to the garden, sitting down on the grass.

The sun had already set, and without the heat of the day, the ground felt cool and comfortable.

Luke opened a bottle and took a sip.

It was the first the had a drink since arriving here.

Gerald opened his own beer, took a swig, and then chuckled. "You know, you're not even that handsome. So why is Ms. Sanchez so obsessed with you? She keeps pestering you, again and again."
