Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

The hospital was not far from the Crawfords' ancestral home, so after about ten minutes, Luke and Luca arrived at the hospital.

After Stan was wheeled off the ambulance, he was taken to the emergency room for the emergency doctors to take over the rescue operation.

Luca knew that Stan would be fine.

He had spoken before waking up just now, indicating that he had not fallen into a vegetative state. He would definitely be okay.

Luca felt calm now and was not too worried about Stan.

After a while, Stan's nephew, Gerald, came to the hospital in a hurry.

He followed the doctor's instructions and headed to the entrance of the emergency room, where he saw Luke. When he spotted Luke, he charged right at him, hoping to catch him off guard and land a punch.

However, Luke had been paying attention to the entrance all along. As Gerald lunged forward to strike, Luke effortlessly sidestepped the attack.

"Damn you!" cursed Gerald. He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Luke gave him an icy stare and asked coldly, "You're Stan's nephew?"

"That's me. What did you do to my uncle?" Gerald asked arrogantly. When he was on the way here, he already knew that the task assigned by Abel had failed.

The alarm that should have been shut off was not, and Stan did not help at all.

At first, Gerald thought Stan was just scared and did not do what he was told. However, now it seemed that Luke had discovered something and subdued Stan, causing the mission to fail.

"I didn't do anything to him. If you don't believe me, we can check the surveillance footage once things have been settled here," replied Luke.

Gerald narrowed his eyes. "Alright, I want to see it with my own eyes. If you've hurt my uncle, you're going to pay for it."

"Oh really? If Stan did something that harmed his employer's interests, should he also be sent to the police station?” asked Luca.

While waiting for the ambulance, Luke had tampered with the surveillance.

If they were to check the villa's surveillance, only footage of Stan entering the control room and turning off the surveillance and alarm would be seen. All other footage had been deleted by Luke and replaced with other surveillance footage.

Furthermore, there was no surveillance camera at Stan's bedroom door...

"You..." Gerald narrowed his eyes as he looked at Luca. He recognized who she was.

He could not understand. Was Luca not Abel’s subordinate? Why was she helping Luke now?

"I was sleeping when Mr. Crawford came to tell me that Stan fell down. I have a bit of medical knowledge, so I went to check. Stan is fine. Don’t worry.”

"He's not your family, so of course, you can say that without any scruples!" Gerald was furious. He had a feeling that Stan was discovered and got beaten up by Luke.

He hit the wall?

Unless Luke was holding Stan's head and smacked it against the wall, he would not believe a sane person would run into it!

Luca added, "I've checked on him, and he's fine. You can doubt my medical skills, but you can't doubt the skills of the doctors in the hospital.

"Also, if it weren't for thieves sneaking into the house today, we wouldn't have discovered Mr. Muller in time. If it had been later, he might've gotten into a life-threatening situation."

When she mentioned about thieves entering the Crawfords' ancestral home, her eyes were fixed on Gerald.

Gerald felt a moment of unease under her intense stare.

He was just following Abel’s orders. How could this woman look at him like this?

Did she not know about it?

Abel did not explain the consequences before assigning them tasks. They only had to execute the task as instructed.

That was why Gerald doubted whether Luca knew his identity and if she knew those who sneaked into the Crawfords' ancestral home were also affiliated with Abel.

At that moment, a doctor came out and asked, "Has the patient's family arrived?"

"I'm here, doctor. I'm the patient's family member. Was my uncle assaulted?" Gerald hurriedly approached him.

The doctor glanced at him strangely and asked, "Why are you claiming that the patient was assaulted?" "Was he not? How could he fall without any reason?" asked Gerald as he cast another glance at Luke.

They were in X City, and this was not Luke's territory. Did Luke have such influence here that he could even bribe the doctor to side with him?

"The patient has a few minor bruises on the head but no evidence of being physically attacked elsewhere on the body. Therefore, we conclude it was likely an accidental fall, resulting in a blow to the head and subsequent unconsciousness."

The doctor explained as he looked at Stan's medical records.

"How is that possible?! My uncle has always been in good health. He couldn't have gotten into an accident like that!" Gerald refused to believe it. He believed that it was a conspiracy arranged by Luke.

"During our examination of the patient, we discovered a blood vessel tumor in his head. While the tumor hasn't ruptured, its presence in this area can affect one's movements.

"Therefore, the patient didn't hit his head for no reason. It was caused by this tumor," explained the doctor. "Now, we have two treatment options. Is the patient's immediate family here? Are you the only one?"

"My uncle isn't married, so I can make the decision for him." Gerald began to doubt his previous judgment when he heard the doctor's explanation.

He thought Luke was the one who caused Stan's injury.

However, there were no signs of assault on Stan, and there was a tumor affecting his movement.

Could Stan have fallen on his own?

Did he realize something was wrong when he did not turn off the infrared alarm, so he deliberately ran into a wall?

Gerald remembered the silent call Stan made to him earlier. Perhaps he sought his help after falling...

"Okay, then come with me to the office. I need to show you the scans," the doctor said.

"Alright." Gerald glanced at Luca. He thought that if Luca was not involved in this matter, he would let her know his true identity.

That way, he could also be taken care of.

As Luca listened to the doctor and Gerald's conversation, she was surprised.

Stan had a tumor in his brain?

She suddenly felt anxious. Fortunately, when she administered the needle, she did not touch that area. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Should we go in and listen too?" Luca turned to look at Luke, asking for his opinion.

"Okay." Luke nodded in agreement, and the two followed behind the doctor.

The doctor led them to the office and then showed Stan's scans one by one. "Look, this is the blood vessel tumor in the patient's brain. It's not particularly large, but its location can occasionally affect the patient's movements.

"Without a detailed examination, the patient wouldn't notice it."

Luca looked at the area the doctor was showing. Indeed, it was a blood vessel tumor.

"What should we do now?" asked Gerald. Although Stan had not been helpful this time, as his nephew, he could not ignore him. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Stan was unmarried and had no children, so his future inheritance would be his.

Even if it was just for the sake of that inheritance, he could not disregard the old man.

"We have two treatment options available at the moment. The first one is conservative management, where observation is key. The main objective is to monitor for any potential complications arising from the accident.

"If there are no issues, the patient can be discharged after being observed for 48 hours post-regaining consciousness.”
