Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 2965

After Luca took the elevator down to the first floor, her mind went blank as she walked back to her car.

When she tried to start the car engine, she realized that her strength had been completely drained. She leaned against the driver's seat for a while. The dull pain in her heart still would not go away.

She knew that she could not drive in this condition.

Luca pursed her pale lips and picked up her phone to request a designated driver through an app.

Ten minutes later, the designated driver arrived at the hospital parking lot driving an electric scooter. After finding Luca based on her car's license plate, he lightly tapped the driver's side door. He asked, "Miss, did you request a designated driver?"

"Yes," answered Luca. She still could not recover her strength, and the waves of pain continued to plague her.

Even though she tried to calm herself down, that unsettling feeling persisted.

Luca took a deep breath and mustered all her strength to push open the car door. She leaned against the car and opened the back door.

The driver noticed that something was off with Luca. He was concerned that something might happen. Hence, he asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell? Should I take you to the emergency room to see a doctor?"

Luca knew what was wrong with her. She was just having an emotional breakdown, which was why she ended up like this. She would be fine once she calmed down.

"No need. Just takehome." After Luca declined him, she bit her lip as she sat in the back seat.

Once she stopped worrying about the misunderstandings between Luke, Queenie, and Wanda, she would feel much better.

The driver saw Luca's condition and continued to convince her, "But you don't look good, and I..."

"Just drive, I'm fine," interrupted Luca. Then, she bit her lip. All the worries that had been building up for the past few days suddenly overwhelmed her, and she could not bear it. The pain in her heart became too much to endure.

She did not know what to do.

Should she continue to keep her identity a secret? It would make things difficult for Luke, and Queenie and Wanda would continue to misunderstand him. Or should she be honest with them and make Luke bear more responsibility and pressure?

The driver decided to record their conversation since Luca refused to see the doctor, just in case any problems arose on the way. That way, he would not be blamed if anything happened to her.

He sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, set up the navigation, and said, "Since you insist on not going to the hospital for a check-up, I will now take you has per the navigation's directions. Please fasten your seatbelt."

Luca clenched her teeth, reluctantly fastening her seatbelt.

The driver, feeling relieved, drove her hfollowing the navigation.

When they arrived at the residential area, the car smoothly entered the area because Luca's car was registered with the property management.

Luca slightly opened her eyes. She had calmed down a little while she was on her way back. She should be able to drive herself from here. She said to the driver, "Just park the car on the side."

"Okay, got it," replied the driver. He had been keeping an eye on the passenger in the back seat throughout the journey as he was afraid that something might happen.

Fortunately, they arrived safely at their destination.

The driver parked the car to the side, unfastened his seatbelt, and got out of the car. As he left the vehicle, he took a quick glance at the neighborhood.

The area near the entrance was already quite upscale. It was a high-end residential community.

The driver could not help but shoot another glance at Luca's car, wondering why someone living in such an upscale place was driving a car like that.

Luca pushed open the back door and returned to the driver's seat. After settling the fare with the driver, the driver dared not to linger here any longer. Thus, the driver carried his electric scooter and left.

Luca drove carefully back to the villa.

She chose not to let the driver take her back hbecause aside from starting to feel better, she did not want to divulge too much about Luke's predicament.

After Luca parked her car, she let out a slow breath of relief.

Fortunately, she made it back safely.

Luca sat in the car for a while. Nina had heard the sound of the car but did not see anyone coming in even after a while. Thus, she cout to check. Luca then unbuckled her seatbelt.

"Luca? Are you back?" asked Nina.

"Yes, it's me," replied Luca as she pushed open the car door. The moment her feet touched the ground, there was a slight tremor.

"What happened? Why do you sound so weak?" Nina could immediately tell something was off by the tone of Luca's voice and immediately cforward.

Luca closed the car door and asked, "Have the kids woken up?"

"Don't worry. They haven't woken up. They probably didn't even realize you had left." Nina stepped forward to help her. She could not help but wonder why Luca had returned in this condition when she had been perfectly fine before she left.

Luca let Nina help her.

The two of them slowly made their way into the living room. Nina guided her to the sofa and said, "Here, have a seat. I'll get you a glass of water."

The living room was brightly lit. It was only now that Nina noticed how pale Luca's complexion was. She could not tell if something terrifying had happened to her or if she was feeling unwell.

"Thanks." Luca knew she needed a glass of water to help her recover.

Nina quickly went to the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to Luca.

Luca took it and drank several sips in succession. She then placed the glass on the coffee table.

"Nina, thank you for tonight. It's getting late, why don't you tell Mr. Mallory that you'll spend the night here? It's not safe to drive back at this hour," suggested Luca.

Nina initially did not consider spending the night here, but seeing Luca in such a state and with Luke not at home, she felt uneasy about leaving Luca alone. If something happened, what could the children do to help?

She nodded and replied, "I'll talk to him shortly. But what's wrong with you? You don't look good."

"I've just learned snews that's been hard to accept.” Luca forced a bitter smile. The people she cared for the most were suffering because of her hidden identity, and it was something she was struggling to cto terms with.

She wanted to protect them.

However, was keeping this under wraps now actually a form of protection?

The answer was clearly negative.

Nina frowned slightly. When she saw the bitter smile on Luca's face, she suddenly realized that the person before her was not as strong as she thought.

Nina once believed Luca to be an exceptionally strong woman who could not be easily defeated. However, it seemed that things were not as she had assumed.

"Luca, where is Mr. Crawford?" Nina thought Luca needed scomfort.

"He's probably busy," answered Luca. She did not know how Luke comforted Wanda or if he was successful in doing so. She was not sure if he was on his way back.

Nina heard her and understood that she did not want to disturb Luke. Hence, she resolved to stay with Luca. After briefly explaining the situation to Percy and receiving his response, she said, "Con. Let me help you upstairs.

"No matter how bad things may be, they'll eventually pass. Right now, you should go upstairs and rest. We can figure out how to deal with this tomorrow."

Luca nodded. She really needed to lie down in bed and think through her options.

Regardless of how challenging it might be, she had to make a decision.

Even if the decision was tough to make, this decision must be made.

Nina helped her upstairs and opened the door to the master bedroom. Luca lay down on the bed without changing her clothes. She turned to Nina, who stood beside her, and said, "The guest room has everything you need.

"If you need anything else, you can find it in the storage room downstairs. Nina, I'm really wiped out today."
