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

The cigar he carefully prepared was wasted by Abel like this. Shanks reminded
him in a displeased tone, "You're wasting your time on this unrealistic stuff. Just
smoke a few more cigars.

"The cigars I make for you cost a pretty penny, and they're a pain to make."
When Abel heard this, he quickly took two more puffs. Although Shanks was
complaining, he would not refuse to make more cigars. Yet, Abel still
unconsciously played along when he heard Shanks’ wistful tone.

"Tsk, every time I mention this, you switch topics. You're just fronting. It's pretty
boring."

Shanks opened the car door and got in.

Abel threw the cigar on the ground and stepped on it to put it out. Then, he got
into the car from the other side.

He said to the driver who had been waiting for them, "Take us to the restaurant."
"Yes, Mr. Abel," replied the driver as he drove away.

On the other hand, Warren was driving, and the other three in the car kept quiet.
Even though they all had experience dealing with such big occasions, no one felt
like talking much after a morning of exhaustion.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Luke said, "I've booked three rooms in the
hotel upstairs. After you've eaten, go upstairs to rest. We'll leave for the venue
around three o'clock.”

"Yes, sir," replied Warren and Evan.

Luca was slightly surprised by Luke's arrangement, but she did not say anything
and just had a meal with them.

It was hot outside during the meal, and everyone was getting a bit uncomfortable
with the heat. They did not chat much. None of them even brought up what
happened at the venue.

After the meal, Warren and Evan each took a room key card while Luca took the
other one. They went upstairs together.

Luca entered the suite, and as soon as she put the key card in the slot, Luke held
her hand and walked toward the bed.

"Luke?" Luca was surprised. Luke was not someone who acted so eagerly. Could
it be that Abel had drugged him?

However, Luca immediately denied her absurd thought.

Abel simply did not have time to drug Luke.

Even if he did, Luke would not have remained calm during dinner.

"Let me see your wound," Luke said in a serious tone.

At this moment, Luca finally realized that Luke knew Abel had punched her. He
was worried about her.

Luca shook her head. She did not want Luke to worry about her. "It's okay,
really."

"He didn't hold back at all, Bea. This isn't good at all. Let me see. Is it your
abdomen?" Even though Luca had behaved normally after coming back, Luke
knew it was all a disguise.

How could someone who had always been afraid of pain suddenly stop being
afraid after three years on the Island of Despair?

It was just that she did not want to worry him...

Luke knew well in his heart that Luca was not insensitive to pain. She had just
gotten used to disguising it to not let people like Abel see her in pain.

"Yes, it's my abdomen." Luca knew that if she did not let him check the spot
where she was hit today, this matter would never be resolved.

"The area he struck is away from any organs, so there are no internal injuries. At
most, it'll just bruise for a few days."

After that, she lifted her undershirt slightly for Luke to examine.

Luke saw the bruise at a glance, and it stabbed at his heart.

He gently touched the bruised area and said in a soft tone, "Bea, you've
suffered.”

"It's okay. As long as there are no internal injuries, everything will be fine. Don't
worry," Luca comforted him, knowing that this kind of injury did not require a visit
to the hospital.

People from the Island of Despair, who were capable of carrying out their tasks,
were very familiar with the human body.

They knew exactly where to hit to inflict ten times the pain on someone. They
also knew which areas would not be life-threatening even with a full-force punch.
Abel had the same ability. Even though he had irrationally punched her, he had
not lost all control of himself. At least, he remembered not to hurt her organs.
That was him showing mercy.

However, he did that just to make sure she could still do things for him.

Luke pressed his thin lips together, trying hard to suppress the frustration and
hatred in his heart.

Luca whispered reassuringly, "It's really nothing serious. It's just a bruise. Luke,
I'm not the same person

I used to be. The training I received on the Island of Despair goes far beyond
this."

As she spoke, she raised her hands and gently cupped his face. "Luke, I'm not
the same fragile Bianca anymore. I can help you, even protect you. Do you
believe me?"

Luke's Adam's apple moved slightly. When he heard Luca say these words, his
chest was filled with indescribable emotions.

She could indeed protect him...

However, what he wanted more was to be able to protect her in the long run.
'Yes, my Bianca has become formidable.’ Luke did not say those words out loud.
In marital life, there should still be some fairness.

At least that was what Luca believed.

Before Bianca was kidnapped, he had always protected her. At the same time,
Bianca had never thought of holding him back as she continued striving to
improve herself.

Still, he had not protected her well...

"I'm a bit tired. Let's rest for a while," suggested Luca. She remembered that they
still had to attend to various matters in the afternoon. She wanted to rest now so
that she would not be too tired to deal with everything later.

"Okay." Luke knew that although she seemed fine on the surface, she was
actually under immense pressure. Thus, he pulled back the covers, indicating for
her to sit down.

Following his gesture, Luca sat down on the bed and was about to take off her
shoes when Luke crouched down to help her remove them. "Bending over might
cause pain in your injured area. Don't bend over."

"It's a bit painful now, but itl be fine tomorrow.” Luca smiled, enjoying his
considerate service while also soothing his emotions.

"So soon?" Luke put her shoes aside and then got into bed on the other side.
Luca did not remove her makeup at the thought of them returning to the venue
later. After he lay down, she nestled upon him.

As she listened to the sound of his heartbeat on his chest, she slowly explained,
"Have you forgotten? I recover pretty quickly."

Luke recalled the time they were in Russia.

Luca's wound was originally quite severe, and the doctor had predicted that it
would take a long time to heal. However, after resolving the infection issue, the
wound healed at a rapid pace.

Even the doctor remarked that they had never seen someone with such strong
healing abilities. After that, the doctor muttered under their breath about how
excellent Luca's physical condition must be for the wound to heal so quickly.
Luke grunted in agreement. He wrapped his arm around her waist and closed his
eyes. "Let's rest for a while."

"Okay." Luca closed her eyes too. Suddenly, something crossed her mind. She
picked up her phone from the bedside table and set an alarm. "I was too tired this
morning. If I don't set an alarm, I'll definitely oversleep.”

"I'll wake you up," said Luke with his eyes closed.

Luca suddenly remembered the person who had promised to nap with her but
ended up working.

As she thought about how exhausted Luke must have been this morning,
especially after being swarmed by so many people, she knew he must be
extremely fatigued. After all, he had done much more today than just sitting in the
office and handling paperwork.
