Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3365 It's Not Just Her Imagination

Johann stopped in his tracks, his gaze lazy and unbothered as he looked at Luke, "Anything else, Mr. Crawford?"

*Since you have some free time today, go over to Crawford Manor and check on the old man's health, as well as Luca's parents and grandfather," said Luke. Johann's surgery schedule was usually packed, so it was rare for him to have free time. Luke figured he might as well get him to help with a few things.

"You!" Johann did not expect that a simple complaint would get him assigned more work!

"I'm telling you, don't push it!"

*How much are you charging? Just inform Mr. Doyle to issue you a check," said Luke, continuing to flip through the documents.

"You!" Johann shot him a glare, but it had no effect. With no other choice, he decided to take advantage of the situation. "Since you're being so generous, I won't hold back!"

Then, he turned and left.

Luke did not respond to Johann's protest and kept his head down, focused on his work.

Two days later, Luca changed the bandages for the patient, injected the medicine researched by Shanks into his knees and lower legs, then treated the wounds briefly. After that, she headed back to the lab to report on her work.

*Mr. Shanks, I've injected the medication into the patient," reported Luca.

Shanks responded with a brief hum and stepped back. "Come take a look."

Luca walked over to the microscope and peered inside. She could not help but feel surprised. "This is..."

*These are some of the dead nerves I extracted during the surgery. They've been soaking in the solution for two days, and now, you can see the nerve cells are slowly starting to repair themselves," explained Shanks, his eyes lighting up with excitement.

This was a significant breakthrough in the medical field.

He had only experimented with animal cells before. This was the first time he was working with human-dead nerves and cells.

Luca was amazed. To think that dead nerves, when soaked in the solution, had such an effect! It meant his research was showing real promise.

The nerves that had not fully died would probably respond even better.

*Mr. Shanks, the volunteer's nerves may recover very soon." Injecting the medication and soaking the nerves in the solution would produce different effects, and the former would likely take a bit longer. However, the nerves in question had not completely died.

Therefore, it would not be long before they started to see results.

"Yes." Shanks nodded. "We should be able to perform nerve experiments on him in a couple of days."

Luca nodded in agreement, feeling a quiet sense of anticipation.

She walked out of the lab, intending to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch, when she saw a few people coming in.

Apart from Gerald and the guy who had been injured by her, the others were here to switch shifts.

Hence, Luca was not surprised to see them.

She planned to just walk past without acknowledging them, but suddenly, she felt something and stopped.

She looked over.

The group had already passed by her.

Luca could not help but gaze at one of the figures, momentarily distracted. That person felt so familiar... She furrowed her brow slightly but then heard Gerald making an introduction, "The person who just walked by is Ivana. Don't mess with her. She was sent by the boss to help with the experiments, and she's tough.

"A while back, one of the guys here tried to make a move on her and ended up in the hospital. So, it's best not to mess with her. If you do, you'll be the one who gets hurt."

Luca shook her head slightly, thinking it was just a figment of her imagination. Just as she was about to move forward, the figure turned around and looked at her.

Their eyes met, and he winked at her.

Luca's lips curled into a slight smile. It was not just her imagination...

She walked toward the kitchen, her steps lighter and more cheerful.

In the kitchen, Luca was preparing the meal.

Gerald walked in.

*Ms. Craw, are you preparing lunch?" asked Gerald cheerfully. Over the past few days, he had been trying to win her over, hoping for a little kindness in return.

Even though Luca was not particularly fond of him, at least he was getting a better reception.

"Were those people just now here to switch shifts?" Luca asked nonchalantly.

Gerald nodded. "Yes, they were just switching shifts. But these people haven't seen your skills yet, so Ms. Craw, you should still be careful when you're resting tonight, just in case they come looking for trouble again."

"If they try to come into my room, I'll make sure they regret it." Luca's eyes were cold as she continued chopping the ingredients.

Gerald shivered a little, feeling like her words had been aimed at him.

He was about to ask if Luca could make an extra portion of food, but he realized that she probably would not agree. His stomach was starting to growl.

Before he could speak, he noticed she was washing more vegetables than usual. It did not seem like just enough for two people.

*Ms. Craw, why are you making so much food today?" asked Gerald, suddenly feeling optimistic.

Gerald was not like the others. He dared not to go out looking for food. If he wanted to eat, he had to make it himself. After a few tries, his cooking was at least somewhat edible.

*I'm just in a good mood," Luca answered casually.

"What's the good news?" Gerald offered to help.

Luca pondered for a moment and then replied, "Mr. Shanks' research made a huge breakthrough today. Isn't that good news?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Yes." Gerald nodded. "But Mr. Shanks is an extremely talented man, so these major breakthroughs are just another day for him."

"But for the medical field, this is anything but ordinary." Luca, in a rare good mood, spoke a little more. "His research can save a lot of people. Even though he won't release the formula, if he can figure it out, someone else will eventually be able to as well."

"That's true." Gerald nodded thoughtfully, then said with envy, "I really envy people like you with great skills. You can save so many lives, while someone like me... I'm not saving lives. I'm taking them.*

"Do you regret it?" Luca suddenly asked.

Gerald honestly shook his head. "Not really. At the end of the day, it's for money. After joining the Island of Despair, my family's lives have improved, so I don't regret it. Still, people like me can't save anyone, and killing is

tough too. I just feel useless."

Luca did not say anything more.

She thought that Gerald might regret it after everything he had been through.

However, he did not regret it at all. He just felt like his skills were not enough.

Luca had briefly felt a hint of sympathy for him, but it quickly vanished. Anyone who voluntarily joined the Island

of Despair was not a good person.

She, along with Eler and Amur, had been forced to join, so they still had a basic sense of right and wrong.

As Luca continued preparing lunch, she stopped paying attention to Gerald.

Gerald tried a few times to strike up a conversation, but Luca did not respond.

He could not help but feel confused. He thought his relationship with Luca had improved, but now, she was back

to being this distant. He even wondered if he had said something wrong.

However, after thinking it over, he did not think he had made any mistakes. What exactly had upset her?

Gerald was even more puzzled now.

After Luca finished making lunch, she did not eat with the others. Instead, she grabbed her plate and went back

to her room to eat.

Once she finished, she planned to take a short rest before continuing to help Shanks with recording the experimental data in the afternoon.

As soon as she lay down, she heard the door handle make a clicking sound.
