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

Luca placed the pajamas down.
When she was about to sleep, there was a video call request.
Luca picked it up and saw a bunch of numbers. 'Abel?'
She immediately got rid of that thought. Whenever Abel had some issues, he would either message her or call her. He would not
send a request for a video call. That was because he did not wish for Luke to know that they knew each other.
Luca thought of someone and immediately answered the call.
Indeed, Nyla's cute face appeared on her phone screen.
"Mommy!" The moment she saw Luca, Nyla immediately got closer to the screen. "Mommy, Mommy, is it really you?"
"It's me." The instant Luca saw her daughter, her eyes were filled with tears.
Nyla missed Luca a lot and inched her face closer to the screen. Luca was almost unable to see Nyla's cute face. Hence, she
reminded, "Dear, go back a little. Let Mommy have a better view of you."
Nyla agreed and backed away obediently. "Can you see me clearly now, Mommy?"
"Yes. Oh, my Nyla, you must have grown taller, right?" Luca looked at her daughter. She was unable to determine her daughter's
height through the video.
She had not seen her kid for half a year.
Her kid was growing, so it was a given that Nyla would grow a lot taller in just a month. Besides, despite the Island of Despair
being very creepy, they still handled the kid's meals quite satisfactorily.
"Yeah. I grew taller again. Mommy, when will you be back? I miss you." Nyla's cute face revealed an expression showing how
much she missed Luca.
Looking at her daughter made Luca have the urge to just head back to her side immediately. However, she could not do it right
now.
"Do you remember what I told you?" She smiled, not wishing for her daughter to see her hesitate.

Nyla nodded her head. "Yes. You're on a mission and you want me to just stay put. I shouldn't cause any trouble and have to
listen to Aunt Eler!"
Luca was touched to see her child being so mature.
She was already at this age and should attend school, but there was no school on the Island of Despair. Hence, she would not
be able to gain the usual academic qualifications.
"Yes. So, are you being a good girl during this period?" Luca asked.
"Yes. Aunt Eler just praised me earlier, saying that I'm very obedient." Nyla smiled. Nyla, who was always optimistic, was full of
smiles when she saw Luca.
That was because Eler had told her not to cry, or else, Luca would be sad.
Hence, despite Nyla wishing for her mother to be by her side, she did not cry at all. It showed how mature she was.
"That's great, dear. Where's Aunt Eler?" Luca asked. It must have been because of Eler that Nyla was able to video call Luca.
Luca had to thank Eler for that.
Nyla looked to the side, then back to the screen. "Mommy, Aunt Eler's face is very red. Do you think she's being shy?"
"Shy?" Luca said, puzzled.
Nyla turned the camera toward Eler. "Look, Mommy."
"Nyla!" Eler did not expect Nyla to turn the camera toward her. Subconsciously, she stretched out her hand and wanted to cover
the lens of the camera.
However, Luca still saw her. "Eler, why is your face so red?"
Nyla was very bright. She said when she noticed Eler not talking, "Mommy, Aunt Eler's face has been red since she came out
from Uncle Shanks' place!"
Luca came to an understanding. Eler had feelings for Shanks. She had stated it herself too. She never once had a change in
feelings for him, and Luca did not say anything more about it.

Eler was the one who would decide on her path. Luca had talked to her about it, and Eler seemed to understand that there might
not be any future between them both.
However, she did not regret anything. There were times when one could not control one's feelings. Once one fell in love, one
would continue to remain in love.
Nyla said curiously when she noticed that the two adults were not talking, "Mommy, why is Aunt Eler's face so red?"
"Maybe something joyful happened.” Luca smiled as she glanced at Eler.
Nyla also looked at Eler. "Aunt Eler, what made you so happy?”
"I'll tell you in the future!" Eler knew that Luca knew what was going on and did not attempt to hide the fact. She might as well
ask about Amur. "How's Amur doing lately?"
"He's doing fine and didn't get himself injured. He helps me out when I need it, so don't worry." Luca knew Eler was worried
about Amur, so she just briefly told her about Amur's situation here.
Eler let out a breath of relief. She had not seen Amur for almost half a year. Naturally, she was worried about him.
'However, since Luca said he's fine, then it means he's really alright.'
"Next time you have the chance, go talk to Amur. I can see that you're very worried about him," said Luca. There was not much
opportunity to hop on a video call, but every time, Eler would use up the chance on Luca and Nyla.
'She's obviously worried about her younger brother.'
"I'm just casually asking. Besides, Amur is already an adult. He no longer needs his family to be worried about him, but our Nyla
is different. She's worried about you every single day." Eler touched Nyla's head.
She looked at the time, and they did not have much time left. She added, "It's almost time. Nyla, we're going to have to get off
the video call now. Hurry, say goodbye to your mommy."
Nyla waved her hand. "Alright. Bye-bye, Mommy!"
"Alright, bye." Luca waved her hand. Seeing that the call was still on, she reminded again," Eler, you must take good care of
yourself over there."

"I got it." As soon as Eler was done talking, the call was cut off.
Luca stared at the pitch-black screen and sighed.
The smile she revealed immediately vanished. She missed her daughter, but she could not go back to meet her.
There was a time limit for the people on the Island of Despair to be connected to the outside world. There was also a limited
number of times to do so.
The number of opportunities Eler obtained with much effort would always be used on Luca. That was because she knew Luca
missed her daughter.
"Eler, I'll bring you and Amur with me to escape the Island of Despair,” Luca said to herself. She seldom owed other people a
favor. The number of people she owed a favor was easily countable.
As for Eler and Amur, she owed them both the most—excluding Luke and the kids. She would have to return the favors she
owed them.
The Island of Despair was not a good place. Hence, the only thing she could do was to pull the siblings out of this deep abyss.
Luca looked at the time, and it was getting late. 'I have to catch the flight tomorrow.'
Due to time constraints, she had no time to be sad and could only face what was going to happen the next day...
Luca switched off the lights and lay on the bed.
Looking at the pitch-black space, she could only hear her own breathing.
'Is Luke asleep right now?'
She had not seen Nyla for half a year. When she recalled the image on the monitor earlier, she noticed that Nyla, who initially
looked like her, was beginning to look like Luke.
