Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1257

Chapter 1257 He Had Never Feft That Way

Luca pressed her lips together and swallowed her words of rejection." Sorry to have troubled you,’ she said stiffly.

Luke nodded and left the room, and Luca followed behind him.

Bianca watched as the two people left the room one after another. She wished that she could step between them, but her condition did not allow her to do that.

Meanwhile, Dr. Blake was still amazed that acupuncture could awaken an unconscious patient. He glanced at the trash bin in the room; there was a pile of needles inside.

What he did not know was that Luca had only used two of them.

Dr. Blake asked, "How do you feel now, Mrs. Crawford?" "A little tired..." Bianca answered. If she was resuscitated, there should not be major problems to her health.

"I'm glad that you're feeling better." Dr. Blake heaved a sigh of relief. He still had his suspicions, but it was nonetheless good news that she managed to wake up.

I'm fine." Bianca wanted to sit up, but she did not have the strength to do so.

Dr. Blake nodded. Earlier, he did not believe what the nurse told him, but now, he had no choice but to admit that it was true. He said, "You should rest more. You can call the nurse over if you don't feel well." "Alright." Bianca gave a perfunctory response. After the doctor and nurse left, she looked at Jack and wondered how she should make him leave the room.

"I think I want to drink smilk, Dad. Can you buy a bottle forat the cafeteria downstairs?"

Jack nodded. The room was getting stuffy, so he took the opportunity to go for a walk.

After Jack left, Bianca found sexcuse to make the caretaker leave. Only she and Queenie were left in the room.

Bianca said candidly, "Mom, why did you ask Luke to go with that woman?"

Queenie could see the jealousy in Bianca's eyes. "Bea, Luca chere because of you, and it's only polite for us to send her back. You should be grateful to her."

Bianca was not in the mood to listen to all that. 'How pretentious!' She thought.

"I know, Mom, but I can't be at ease when I think of what that woman might do to Luke. Look at me, I'm helpless now, and I can't do anything if the woman decides to make a move on Luke," Bianca said.

Queenie sighed and patted her hand. "Alright, I won't do it next time. You just woke up, so you shouldn't be too agitated."

Bianca took a deep breath to calm herself down. In her agitation earlier, her heart began to heat faster again. "I love Luke too much..." "You should trust him. Luke is a good husband and a good father," Queenie said.

Bianca nodded but said nothing.

She would not have been so anxious if it were sother woman because Luke would not have been bothered with them, but she could not keep calm when it was Luca.

Somehow, Luca had to be the first exception...

"You... you're thinking too much," Queenie said lovingly as she stroked Bianca's forehead.

Bianca knew that she was not overthinking. Perhaps Queenie thought that Luca was a good person, but Luca was from the Island of Despair, and no one from there could be good.

Meanwhile, Luca sat solemnly on the side passenger seat. The atmosphere in the car was tense, but Luca did not plan to break the silence, 1

She thought that the silence would continue when Luke, driving, suddenly spoke, "The progress of your research is much faster than the others."

Luca nodded and said, "Mm." "I'm surprised," Luke said. Indeed, he was quite surprised when Luca made her progress report earlier. Luca had made the most progress among all the researchers, and her topic was not an easy one.

"It's nothing. I've been working on it for stime," Luca explained.

Luke remembered Luca saying that she had brought the research over from Russia.

"Mr. Doyle has booked a flight to New York in two days. Is that okay?" Luke asked.

"No problem." Luca turned her head to look outside of the window instead of the man next to her.

His scent lingered in her nostrils, and her hands slowly clenched into fists.

The conversation ended, and the car fell into silence again. It was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.

Her breathing was very soft, as though she did not want to make too much noise. 1

Luke somehow felt uneasy, as though there was something in his mind nagging him. He was usually aloof, but he could not feel the sway about Luca.

He did not show those feelings on his face, and Luca did not know what he was thinking.

Half an hour later, Luke’s car arrived at Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Luca had already unfastened her seatbelt while the car was still moving. When Luke stopped the car, Luca opened the door and cast a sideways glance at him. "Thank you, Mr. Crawford." "You're welcome." Luke's voice was low and stiff.

He had never experienced those sensations before, and he did not understand why those sensations bloomed when Luca was near.

After Luca shut the car door, she walked toward the building without turning back.

For the next half a minute, Luke stared at her walking away. He only left after she disappeared from view.

Mo cout from her hiding corner. She went downstairs to buy something, but she did not expect to witness that scene.

"There's really something going on between Luca and Mr. Crawford..." She muttered to herself. When she remembered what Talia had asked her that morning, she could not help but smirk. Luca had used Mrs. Crawford as an excuse to go on a date with Mr. Crawford.

Mo thought that Luca's story was implausible when Talia told her about it earlier. Bianca hated Luca, so there was no reason Luca wanted to meet her. i

Now that she witnessed them together, things seemed to be more interesting than she thought...

Mo looked at the photo she took earlier and sent them to Bianca without any hesitation. Then, she went back to the company. 1

Luca was still waiting in the elevator lobby.

Mo walked over and asked her, "Dr. Craw, did you go out earlier?"

Luca glanced at Mo and noticed that she was carrying a plastic bag from the convenience store. At one glance, she could see the contents.

"Mm, I had something going on," she said.

"I heard that you were meeting Mrs. Crawford," Mo said, maintaining a smile on her face so that Luca would not suspect anything.

Luca was not surprised that the news that she had taken leave using Mrs. Crawford as an excuse had spread among the employees.

She nodded. "Yes."

Mo was sure that Luca was lying. After all, Bianca was still very ill in the hospital.

"How is Mrs. Crawford? I heard that she was admitted to the hospital a few days ago. Has she been discharged?" "Not yet," Luca said. The elevator door opened, and she stepped inside.
