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

Luca felt a twinge in her heart when she heard what Queenie said.
A mother's wish was to watch their children grow up, settle down, get married, and have children.
As Luca watched Queenie murmur to herself beside Leia's ward bed, she thought that she would probably never have the
chance again...
Johann shot a glance at Luca, then he turned to look at Queenie. He fell silent for a moment. It was only when his pager beeped
did he stand up and say, “Dr. Craw, call me if you need anything. I have something to do now."
"Okay. Go ahead. Thank you." Luca thanked him for helping her reach out to a craftsman.
Johann waved at her and exited the ward.
Luca kept quiet while she looked at Queenie. She let out a sigh, stood up, and walked to the bedside. She comforted her, "Mrs.
Norman, don't worry. I'm sure Ms. Norman will be fine."
Queenie pulled some tissue out of the tissue box on the bedside table and wiped the tears on her face. She looked at Luca with
tears in her eyes and said, "Luca, I'm sorry you have to see me like this."
"You're a mother. It's normal to have such reactions," Luca replied and shook her head. She did not think it was embarrassing at
all. She felt sorry for her instead.
Queenie let out a sigh and began talking about her past, "My daughter, Luke's wife, was taken away when she was born. We
were told that our child didn't make it. That's why I began treating Leia like my biological daughter when Jack and I decided to
adopt her. We raised her and gave everything to her. But I didn't expect our daughter would end up like this. Sometimes, when I
see Leia in pain, I would question myself if it's because I'm not a good mother. That's why."
Luca's heart ached when she heard Queenie blaming herself for the mistakes Leia did and everything that happened to her. She
shook her head.
"If I were a better mother, Leia wouldn't have been forced to get out of the country. She went through so much when she was out
there, and she even got to know people like that. What did she do to suffer all this. And my daughter, Bea. There's not even a
piece of news from her, and she's still out there wandering alone. I've failed as a parent." Queenie choked with sobs, blaming
herself for the suffering and pain Leia went through.

There were a few words on the tip of Luca's tongue, but she understood that as a mother, Queenie did not wish to see her
children suffer.
Although Leia was adopted, she had raised her and supported her for more than 20 years. The affection she had for her was
true.
Queenie was a kind person. She would not treat Leia differently just because she was an adopted child. She would treat Leia like
her biological daughter.
A strict father and a loving mother were the most important figures in a family. Leia was lucky enough to have such a family. Still,
she became...
Luca did not know how to answer if someone asked her why Leia had become such a person.
Perhaps Leia became paranoid after getting into the entertainment industry, and that was why she became someone like this.
“Mrs. Norman, stop crying. It'll break Ms. Norman's heart if she sees you like this when she wakes up later," Luca comforted her
with a gentle voice while placing her hand on Queenie's back.
If she was still Bianca, she would have many ways to comfort her, but she could not reveal her true identity.
Queenie grabbed a few tissues and wiped her face again. She let out a sigh, then she looked at Luca with her red, puffy eyes.
She said, "Luca, I know my daughter of mine isn't the same girl she used to be. She's no longer kind and gentle. Besides, she
hasn't been nice to me. Time has gone, and she has changed."
Luca was startled for a moment. Then, she looked at Queenie. Did Queenie find out something?
Queenie continued, “I paid too much attention to Leia and spoiled her when she was growing up, which made her what she is
today. Perhaps I should've listened to what the others told me back then—adopt another child to keep Leia company. But I
refused to listen to their advice. I thought that having one child was enough. I adored Leia, and I gave her all the affection I had
for Bea. I gave her all my love. Bea came back after that, and Leia started being paranoid. It was my fault. I spoiled her. So, tell
me, am I wrong."
"There's nothing wrong with loving her.." Luca replied in a calm voice. Leia was the one who chose this path. Queenie's love had
nothing to do with this.

Although Leia was a spoiled child, Queenie's and Jack's affection for her only let her grow up in a healthy and happy
environment. It would not have made her into this.
Luca's presence was not the main reason that caused Leia to be on this path and come to this.
If Leia could have let go of her obsessive thoughts, she would feel much better.
People said being paranoid would bring someone down, but Jack and Queenie were not such people. It seemed like Leia was
born with it. Perhaps it was because she got dumped before, and that was why she reacted that way.
Leia felt insecure, so she wanted to hold on to everything she had.
"She's no longer the person I used to know. She doesn't respect me, and she even thought of ruining her father's future to save
her own life. I didn't agree with it, so she blamed me for that and was mad at me. Luca, I've been together with Jack for so many
years. How can I cause such trouble when he's about to have a glorious retirement?" Queenie was torn between two choices,
but she was conscious of what she was doing.
After all, she could not let Jack do something wrong for the sake of Leia.
Jack was not an ordinary person. He was the governor of the province, and everyone in the provincial capital had their eye on
his position.
If Queenie did what Leia asked her to do, Jack's future would be ruined. Not only would his future be ruined, but the Norman
family and the rest of Jack's life would be destroyed too.
Jack would be caught, handcuffed, and sent to prison.
Luke had explained the pros and cons to Queenie before. Hence, no matter how Leia fussed around, Queenie insisted on doing
it legally.
After all, Jack was not young anymore. If something happened to him at this time, Queenie would not be able to stand the blow.
The Norman family would be in a mess.
The Norman family would be broken even if Leia recovered. Judging from her current situation, she would not be able to work
either. How was she going to survive?
The doctor said that Leia made herself sick while she was living abroad for the past few years.

If the Norman family was ruined, there was no one Leia could depend on. She would end up miserable without having any
money.
Queenie knew that Luke would take care of the two of them for Bianca's sake, but he would not look after Leia.
That was why she had been standing her ground after knowing the pros and cons of doing so. She would endure it even though
Leia threw tantrums at her every day.
Luca heaved a sigh of relief after she heard what Queenie said.
She was worried that Queenie would agree with Leia's idea and spend a huge sum of money to look for a liver for Leia.
It set Luca's mind at ease when Queenie said that.
“Don't worry. Let's wait until Ms. Norman gets better. Maybe then you can ask Mr. Norman to talk to Mr. Crawford about this. Just
tell him that Ms. Norman isn't feeling well now and she needs to come back here for treatment. If Mr. Crawford agrees with it, we
can ask for help on the internet. Ms. Norman used to have many fans. Perhaps someone will be willing to help her," Luca
comforted her.
