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

'Hospital?'
Luca looked at the bed and the people who were standing around here. Indeed, they were in uniform.
"How did I end up here?" she frowned and asked. She had no collection of her wound getting inflamed.
"Your family sent you here. Your body started to give a reaction after your wound became inflamed. Your fever didn't subside and
you passed out. We've given you antipyretics, and at your family's request, we injected you with Amphotericin B. Now, your fever
has subsided. Besides, we've also resutured your wound. Unfortunately, the wound is too long and will leave a scar. For the time
being, don't get your wound into contact with water," the doctor said.
Luca lowered her eyes. 'If I was sent to the hospital, it means that Luke knows about it. How am I supposed to explain all of this?'
"When can I be discharged?" Luca asked.
The doctor looked at the time and calculated the elapsed time for the antipyretics to take effect. "If you don't wish to be admitted,
you should at least wait for another six hours. After six hours, you can be discharged if you don't develop a fever again. However,
after you're discharged, you still have to return for the antibiotics injection to ensure the wound won't be inflamed again.”
"No need for that," said Luca while sitting up with her arms supporting her.
"I'm sorry, what do you mean by that?" The doctor looked at her, astonished.
"I'll write a prescription. All you have to do is get the medications prepared according to the prescription. My wound will recover
even without Amphotericin B," Luca said and looked at the nurse. "Do you mind passing me a piece of paper and a pen?"
The nurse looked at the doctor. It was her first time seeing a patient prescribing herself medication.
The doctor was astonished and asked, "I beg your pardon. May I know if you're also a doctor?"
"I guess you can say that." Luca looked at them. Previously, she did not head over to the hospital to get the medications she
needed because she did not want to invite too much trouble. After all, there was no one in the hospitals here whom she knew, so
it would be hard for her to get her hands on the medications.
However, she had been sent to the hospital. She might as well have the doctor prescribe her the medications she needed.

"If you insist, you have to sign an agreement," said the doctor. He was afraid that Luca might ask the hospital to bear the
responsibility if she screwed things up.
"Sure." Luca nodded. 'If I hadn't forgotten to bring the things over, I wouldn't be facing this trouble now.' "You may go and get the
documents prepared." The doctor ordered the nurse to get the agreement of medication usage ready.
"Alright, doctor." The nurse left.
Luca took the paper and pen from the doctor. She listed out the medications she needed in Russian.
She took into consideration that she was in Russia and not back in her own country. Hence, she changed some of the
medications. Even though the effects would not be as good, it was still better than nothing. After all, it was not easy to look for
local ingredients here.
"Are you sure these are all you need?" The doctor looked at the list. They were all anti-inflammatories, but when used in
combination, he wondered whether or not they would be effective.
"Yes." Luca nodded.
At that moment, Jason pushed the door of the ward opened and pushed Luke's wheelchair in.
"What's going on?" Luke sat in the wheelchair and looked at Luca, who was on the bed. She was in a much better condition than
previously.
"The patient's fever has subsided and we've resutured her wound. We'll now wait for six hours. If she doesn't have fever again,
she may be discharged," said the doctor.
"Alright." Luke was still looking at Luca.
Jason whispered, "I'll take my leave for now, sir."
Luke did not say a word.
Luca could sense that Luke's gaze was fixed on her. It was like a burning sensation that was not concealed.
'He must be suspicious about when I got this injury...'
After all, all this while, she had been acting as usual, just like any ordinary person.

The doctor saw her being so confident and said, "Alright then. I'll go get these medications ready. Later, the nurse will bring the
agreement here. All you have to do is sign it."
"Alright, thanks," said Luca, then the doctor left the ward.
Luca took a deep breath. She felt the effects of the anesthesia injected into her wound starting to fade, and pain slowly crept in.
She was not weak as she was able to withstand such pain.
Luca bit her lip for some time before saying, "Thanks, Mr. Crawford."
In the meantime, Luke said with concern, "Does it still hurt?"
Both of them talked at the same time. Luca was stunned. She shook her head and replied, “It's still bearable."
"If you're in pain, just have the doctor inject you with another dose of analgesia," said Luke. She was strong, so strong that she
did not voice out even after enduring the pain for so long. She still gave her best and worked hard.
Out of everyone who had interacted with her, none of them realized something was off about her. No one knew she was injured.
However, she did not need to act all tough with him.
Luca knew that he was concerned about her and sighed inwardly. The better he treated her, the stronger her sense of guilt.
"I'm sorry," she said.
Luke frowned. "Why are you apologizing?"
"I've delayed your and Mr. Doyle's work," Luca said. If it were not for her, perhaps Luke and Jason would currently be handing
some of T Corporation's documents.
Luke had a stunned expression when he heard Luca's statement, and his face became so gloomy that it was awful to look at.
'She's apologizing not because she had been keeping her injury a secret for so long but because she delayed my and Jason's
work?
'Out of everything, she's my top priority!'

"Luca, I sent you to the hospital to save your life. You're very important to me. Despite my working schedule being delayed, I
won't comment anything about it. I don't think you've done anything wrong that requires you to apologize." Luke felt that she was
doing it on purpose.
Even at this moment, Luca did not forget to draw a line in their relationship.
Luca lowered her eyes. Previously, she did not realize that her statements would make Luke this mad.
The nurse came in with a stack of documents. Luke looked at them and said, "You should be apologizing to me, but it's not
because you've delayed my schedule."
After saying that, he maneuvered the wheelchair and left.
The nurse placed the agreement in front of Luca. "Miss, can you please sign this agreement? We'll observe you for six hours,
and if everything is fine, you may leave."
Luca looked in the direction where Luke left. When she heard the nurse's voice, she retrieved her gaze.
'What does he mean by that?'
Luca looked at the agreement. It was the usual type of agreement, and she jotted down her Russian signature.
Despite her hating this name, it was a name given to her by Abel. Currently, she was using this name to be admitted and receive
treatment in the hospital. Hence, she had no choice but to use that name.
The nurse looked at her signature and was puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Luca looked at her.
"The name you're signing is totally different from the name given by that man who just went out," the nurse said.
"I have a Russian identity, so I have two names," Luca explained.
"So, that's the reason. No wonder you can speak fluent Russian." The nurse smiled and collected the agreement that had been
signed. "There's another five hours before you can leave the hospital. After the fever subsides, you may feel your body growing
weak but that's normal. Drink lots of water and get more rest."
