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

"This isn't to my credit. Grandpa Rayne, it was you who was willing to cooperate with me," Luca replied with a smile. She felt
assured after knowing that his health had improved.
Old Man Rayne said proudly, "Yes. Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have someone to treat me so effectively."
Yesterday, Old Man Rayne had a video call with his friends who lived in the countryside. His friends were astonished to see how
energetic he looked and how he looked so much better than before. They even asked what supplements did Old Man Rayne
take.
Old Man Rayne proudly claimed that he had his own secret weapon, but it was not supplements.
His friends kept asking him, trying to find out what the secret weapon Old Man Rayne mentioned was.
However, Old Man Rayne did not tell them. He did not forget what Luke had told him. Luca's job was to do drug research and
development instead of helping others to nurse their health.
She was usually busy with work.
Thus, no matter how hard his friends tried to convince him, Old Man Rayne refused to tell them. He unknowingly sided with
Luca, whom he had only met not long ago when he was facing his old friends whom he had known for years.
Luca smiled when she heard how satisfied Old Man Rayne was. The old man who loved to make her laugh had returned.
“Grandpa Rayne, remember to take your medicine every day and give your feet a herbal foot bath. You'll certainly feel much
better.” Luca's hand gently rested on the old man's hands.
"Of course, I'll continue to take the medicine. Look at me. I've only taken it for some time and my health has recovered a lot. I'll
definitely continue taking the medicine. Don't worry about it,” Old Man Rayne promised.
"Okay. Let me make some adjustments to the medical prescription for you." Luca asked. Then, she turned to look at the maid,
Lucy. "Hi there, can you please get me a pen and a piece of paper?"
"Okay. A moment, please." Lucy turned around and took a piece of paper and pen out of the TV drawer and handed them to
Luca.
Luca wrote the adjusted dosage strength of the prescribed medicine on the paper and handed it to Lucy. "Please follow the
instructions on the paper after Old Man Rayne has finished his current batch of medicine." "Okay. I'll keep it properly." Lucy took

the paper from Luca and put the paper in the pill box so that they would not lose it.
“Luca, have some tea," said Old Man Rayne.
Luca picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.
Old Man Rayne smiled and looked at Luca, "Luca, why don't you play a game of chess with me?"
"Sure, but I'm not good at it," replied Luca. Her chess skills were the same as how they used to be. Little progress had been
made, and there was almost no improvement.
"Young people these days are humble. They claim that they're bad at playing chess, but they're better than old men who have
been playing chess for more than 10 years," said Old Man Rayne. He turned to look at Lucy and said, "Please get the
chessboard for me."
"Okay, Old Man Rayne. You have someone to play chess with today," Lucy replied with a smile.
They were not good at playing chess.
However, when Old Man Rayne was bored, he would ask them to play chess with him.
Wanda and Lucy were so bad at playing chess that Old Man Rayne thought it was not challenging at all.
Wanda had no choice but to teach Old Man Rayne to play chess online, but the old ma had only started to learn how to use a
computer when he was this old. His responses were slower, and he could hardly make his move within the time limit. Hence, Old
Man Rayne often lost.
Old Man Rayne would complain that playing chess online was boring and unfair after he lost many times. He insisted on asking
Wanda and Lucy to play chess with him.
It just so happened that Luca was here today. She could play chess with Old Man Rayne to kill time.
Lucy brought the chessboard down and placed it on the coffee table.
Luca and Old Man Rayne quickly set up the chessboard.
Old Man Rayne looked at the way Luca set up the pawns and smiled. "Luca, the way you set up the pawns is the same as how
my granddaughter sets them up."

Luca's heart skipped a beat. She had been living with Old Man Rayne since she was young. She even learned how to play
chess from him.
It was just that Luca could not master it, but she had her own habit of setting up the chessboard.
Old Man Rayne was familiar with that habit of hers.
Luca pretended as if it was nothing and said, "Really? I learned how to play chess online. The teacher taught us to set it up this
way."
"Yes. It's really alike. It's been a long time since I met her." Old Man Rayne heaved a sigh.
After Luca lost her memories, she seldom came to visit him. He heard that she was still living abroad, so there was no way he
could see her. He could not even keep in touch with her.
Even though Bianca was his granddaughter, judging from how kind and generous Luke was with them, Luke seemed more like
his grandchild.
"Isn't Ms. Wanda around here to keep you company..." Luca pretended not to understand what he meant.
"I'm not talking about Wanda. It's Bianca, my good granddaughter, whom I'm talking about." Old Man Rayne placed the last pawn
on the chessboard and started playing chess with Luca.
Luca focused on the chess game. She knew that Old Man Rayne was familiar with her chess strategies and habits. She thought
she might as well change her style and strategies of playing chess.
However, the consequence of changing her strategies was that she ended up losing quickly.
After the game, Old Man Rayne's smile deepened. “One more."
“Grandpa Rayne, I'm not good at it," said Luca. How she wished Luke was here.
Luke was better at playing chess. He would take time to make a move and play long hours of chess with Old Man Rayne.
"It's okay. I heard Luke say that you were living abroad back then. It's normal for you to not understand the game. You'll get
familiar with it after playing for another few rounds," replied Old Man Rayne. He was pleased to have Luca play chess with him. It
did not matter how long it took for them to finish playing one round.

Old Man Rayne even had a feeling that he was back in the old days when he would ask the young Bianca to play chess with him
after she was done doing her homework.
Old Man Rayne could not help but let out a sigh. He had become old, indeed.
Playing chess with a young lady had made him reminisce.
“Okay..." Luca did not want to be a buzzkill when she saw how happy Old Man Rayne was.
When they had just finished setting up the pawns, Luke's voice came into their ears. "Are you playing chess?"
Luca turned around happily and saw that it was Luke. She immediately stood up and said, "Mr.
Crawford, you're here."
Luke frowned with dissatisfaction when he heard Luca calling him Mr. Crawford, but he thought it was reasonable for her to call
him that way when he remembered that they were at the Rayne family's house.
Hence, Luke took off his coat and walked toward them.
"Yes." The Rayne family's house had his fingerprint in the fingerprint lock. Thus, Luke could come in right away without pressing
the doorbell and informing Lucy.
"Mr. Crawford, why don't you play chess with Grandpa Rayne? I'm not good at it. The game ends quickly. It's not that enjoyable
to play with me," said Luca. She was afraid she would give herself away if she continued to play chess with him.
Besides, Luca did not want Old Man Rayne to reminisce about their past.
After all, he knew Bianca could not remember anything now. She could not stay by his side to accompany him. Taking a trip
down memory lane would upset him.
"That's not true. It's fun to play chess with you," Old Man Rayne immediately said.
"Grandpa Rayne, I'll leave it to you and Mr. Crawford. Let me head to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help with." Luca
walked into the kitchen as she said that.
Luke watched Luca leave from behind, then turned to look at Old Man Rayne, "Grandpa."

"Yes?"
“How long did the previous round last?" Luke asked.
"It only took a few minutes." Old Man Rayne pondered for a moment and glanced at the time. "I had no idea she didn't know how
to play chess. Otherwise, I'd have thrown the game."
“You don't have to throw the game for her." Luke waved his hands. "I'll let you start first."
