Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

In Shanks' words, the only person on the entire Island of Despair with this talent was Luca.

Luca was the most helpful to Shanks.

However, she had more important things to attend to, so she could not stay by Shanks' side to help.

Luca had already recovered and was standing upright. Abel reminded her, "You, stop playing tricks

behind my back. This time, you'll help Mr. Shanks find the herbs he needs.

"Also, don't you like being with Luke? I'll make it happen for you. Don't say I'm not doing right by you."

A hint of malice tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He always had a feeling that Luca was slipping out of his control. If this continued, he would not be able

to keep her in his control.

He had to do something.

Luca had a bad feeling, but she did not have the courage to ask him what he wanted to do at the

moment.

If Abel could not resist throwing another punch at her, she would be the one to suffer. Luke would be

distressed if he knew about it.

Now, they both needed to stay calm and collected. They could not let certain things cloud their

judgment.

Luca warned herself not to be too curious about Abel's affairs.

Luke's men would know what he wanted to do.

Luca nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll find a way to get those herbs."

"Go on, then. Be a good little canary. But remember, while you're trapped in Luke's cage, don't forget Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

where your real cage is." Abel looked at Luca with disgust.

If it were not for the inappropriate occasion today, he would surely have punched her again without

hesitation.

After receiving his permission to leave, Luca turned around and left.

She held her head high as though nothing had happened just now.

Abel watched her leave from behind and snorted coldly. "I held back a little."

"Not everyone can withstand your strength." Shanks narrowed his eyes. He was not a smoker, and the

air in this place felt particularly stagnant to him.

He wanted to go out and talk to those medicine farmers and merchants. He wanted to understand their

secret stashes.

"Why are you protecting Ivana like this?" asked Abel. It was a question he had wanted to ask earlier.

After all, he did not want Luca to know that Shanks could potentially be her support.

Shanks shot him a cold glance and asked, "Am I?"

"Don't deny it. I've been watching. You're always speaking up for that woman. What's going on? Have

you taken a liking to her? If you really have, I can help you out,” asked Abel.

Abel's idea of helping was to send Luca to his room.

Shanks understood his implication, glanced at him coldly, and replied, "I'm not interested in her. If it

weren't because she understands medicine, I wouldn't even spare her a glance."

Abel immediately nodded. "Alright, you're cruel, but you're still different with her. But she's just a

woman. You don't need to be so concerned.

"Rest assured, once these matters are settled, I'll find you all sorts of beautiful women. I'll help you get

whoever you like. How about that?"

"Not interested," replied Shanks. He immediately walked out.

Abel wiped the smile off his face. His friendliness toward Shanks was solely because it benefited him

and brought profits for the Island of Despair.

Nothing more...

The two of them left the smoking area. Gale listened to the sound of their departing footsteps, glanced

at the surveillance, and shook his head helplessly.

Did their boss know how much his wife had to endure?

Luca had to endure more than an ordinary person could bear just to be with him.

However, she had come this far.

Gale could not help but admire Luca. It was evident how much effort she had put in to avoid becoming

a burden to Luke.

He touched his abdomen. Although he did not feel the impact, Abel had put everything into the punch

earlier...

Yet Luca had borne it as if nothing had happened. She even left without changing her expression. If he

had not been secretly monitoring them, he would have thought nothing had happened.

At the thought of this, Gale shook his head again and continued to track Abel and Shanks with the

surveillance.

At that moment, Luca also emerged and returned to her seat in Watson's area.

Warren called out softly, "Dr. Craw..."

"It's nothing. How long until it starts?" asked Luca. Her expression was still indifferent.

Luke heard her voice. His eyes turned to her. A mix of concern, worry, and curiosity was evident in

them as their gazes met in a tangled web of emotions.

"Dr. Craw, the lecture will start in ten minutes." Evan felt as though Luke was looking at Luca through

him and wished he could vacate his seat. It was inappropriate for him, the third wheel, to sit here.

However, neither Luke nor Luca showed any intention of switching seats. He could only reluctantly

remain seated and respond to Luca's inquiry.

"Alright. Thank you, Mr. Turner." Luca smiled faintly as she expressed her gratitude.

"It’s nothing." Evan felt uncomfortable under Luke's penetrating gaze.

He wanted to leave or swap his seat with Warren, the driver...

The person at the side, who had been conversing with Evan, curiously asked, "Mr. Turner, is she a

research professor from your company?"

He assumed Luca was a research professor. Otherwise, Evan would not have addressed her as Dr.

Craw.

As soon as the man asked the question, his gaze landed on Luca.

However, the idea of such a young woman being a research professor seemed absurd to him. He

might have believed she was a researcher, but a professor?

Suddenly, he recalled the medication previously released by Watson. It seemed like the research

professor was a woman...

He was the owner of a pharmaceutical company and was not familiar with the names of these research

professors. He had not remembered the woman's name and only vaguely recalled that it was a female

professor who had conducted the research...

He did not find it particularly strange that it was a female research professor at that moment. After all,

many women were involved in this industry nowadays, but they were usually of a certain age when

they achieved success.

The man was surprised to learn that Luca was actually so young.

"Yes, she's a research professor at our company," Evan quickly explained.

"She’s Dr. Luca Craw, who developed the first project for the company and successfully launched it into

the market. Based on the current data, the drug has shown promising results."

"It's truly remarkable. Such a young research professor, and a woman at that. Mr. Turner, you've hit the

jackpot," said the man.

"It's Watson who hit the jackpot." Evan did not feel he had done anything special.

The decision to hire Luca was not his. It was Luke's decision.

"That's right. Watson is incredible. The company has only been established for such a short time and

already has a drug on the market that has been proven to be effective. It's being embraced by doctors

and patients alike. It's truly impressive..."

The man exclaimed again. If it were not for Luke supporting Watson, he might have extended an offer

to Luca himself.
