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

Chapter 403 My Situation Is Hopeless!
Queenie was very protective of Leia.
After losing her birth daughter, she had considered Leia to be her only daughter. She felt very sorry for Leia when she saw the
aggrieved tears in her daughter's eyes. 1
She hugged Leia and said gently, "Can you tell me what happened, my daughter?"
Leia wanted to complain to her mother about how heartless Luke had been.
However, she was afraid that her complaints would cause her mother to be prejudiced against Luke. She swallowed the words
that were on the tip of her tongue.
Her gaze flashed, and she started sobbing. "Mom, I think Luke... doesn't like me. That Bianca isn't a pushover either. She
embarrassed me in Crawford Manor earlier. She thinks that she's smarter than me, and she showed off her knowledge in front of
Old Master Crawford. Even Old Master Crawford is favoring her more than me now... I really like Luke, Mom. He's the first man
that I like. What should I do?"
Leia rested her head on Queenie's shoulder, and warm tears slid down her cheeks.
Queenie endearingly wiped her daughter's tears with a napkin. She could not bear to see her daughter being so sad.
Then, she handed her a cup of warm water and comforted her, "Be a good girl, Leia... Don't cry. If you like Luke, then I will help
you make your wishes come true."
Leia held the cup and said pitifully, "I don't know if I did something wrong, but he doesn't seem to care about me. I still love him,
and this love doesn’t diminish just because he ignored me. Instead, it's like boiling water in a kettle, and I think that my situation
is hopeless..."
Seeing the sparkle in Leia's eyes, Queenie could tell from experience that her daughter was irredeemably in love with Luke.
She felt sorry for her daughter, though she had to remain impartial. "There's nothing wrong with liking someone, not to mention
that Luke hasn't married Bianca yet. However, if his heart is set on Bianca, we shouldn't try to step in between them. You're an
outstanding girl, my daughter, and you shouldn't stoop to ruining other people's relationships..."
At first, Queenie thought that Bianca would not be an obstacle. 1

To her, Leia was better than Bianca in every way, no matter her looks, family background, or career. She believed that her
daughter would easily captivate Luke's heart.
Apparently, she had underestimated Bianca.
To Queenie, Leia was gentle, considerate, and knowledgeable. Meanwhile, Bianca was wild, haughty, and lowly. How would the
Crawford family accept her?
Leia closed her eyes to hide her true feelings.
Luke was the best thing that happened to her, but that "best thing” had turned into a sharp knife that slashed mercilessly at her
heart and soul.
Even so, she did not want to let go.
She did not mind losing everything, but not that man! 2
Soon, it was almost Christmas.
Most of the employees of T Corporation had gone on vacation, but on a rare occasion, Luke fell sick.
He had overworked himself in that period.
He would leave for work every morning and come home very late at night. Most of the time of the day was spent in his office.
Moreover, he was extra busy making sure that there were no loose ends in the Greenview Regalia arson case.
Right after Christmas was the trial of Jillian Dove, the culprit behind the arson.
He had promised Giovan Sonny that Jillian would be put to death, and he would hold to that promise.
Luke contacted several important people in the federal government to get that done. After that, he held an emergency meeting
with the board of directors to discuss the change in equity among the directors.
After that, he held two video conferences with separate overseas partners, securing two deals that were worth at least a hundred
million.

In the afternoon, the twins had tummy aches because they ate something wrong. He and Bianca rushed them to the hospital. It
was only until the evening when he managed to breathe a sigh of relief.
In the evening, Luke's usually healthy body could not take it anymore. He had a fever as the result of overwork.
When he went to work earlier that morning, he had already felt that his nose was blocked and his throat was hurting. He did not
feel good, but he thought that those symptoms would go away after a while. He did not expect that his situation worsened.
His throat felt like it was on fire, and his body felt uncomfortable hot and cold at the same time.
He felt as though his head was going to explode, and his body was buried in a ton of concrete. It was so heavy that he almost
could not breathe!
Bianca sat next to him on the bed and tucked him into the blanket. Her eyes began to mist when she saw how weak and
helpless the man was.
He had worked too hard. He would not have been able to last for long even if his body was made of steel.
Bianca inserted one end of a thermometer into his mouth.
She was shocked by the reading. "103.5 degrees! This is a serious fever!
Rest well, I've already contacted Johann, and he's on his way here..." "Don't worry. It's just the common cold. I'll be fine," Luke
comforted Bianca.
To him, a fever was nothing.
Bianca's beautiful face frowned. She poured a cup of hot water for him, then went to the bathroom and rinsed a towel with cold
water, folded it, and placed it on his forehead.
That was all she could do to make him feel comfortable for now.
Luke, in his groggy state, sniffed Bianca's exquisite feminine scent, which made him feel a lot better.
"Drink some warm water first, Luke." Bianca used all her strength to pull Luke up and lean him against the headboard.
She cushioned Luke's back with her delicate body, then slowly poured the lukewarm water into his mouth.

"Drink slowly, don't choke on it..." Bianca's movements were very gentle, as though she was taking care of a child.
Luke thought that Bianca's voice was divine, and her actions warmed his heart.
No one had ever cared for him like that since he was young. He was lucky to have Bianca beside him.
