Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1768

Percy looked at Nina, who lay peacefully on the hospital bed.

She nodded and spoke in a low, gentle voice, "Go. We're in the hospital. Nothing will happen to me."

When he heard her, Percy stood up and walked out of the ward with Luke.

Luca approached the hospital bed and looked at Nina's thin face. It was pale and ashen. "You've lost a lot of weight."

"I couldn't eat when I was there, so naturally, I lost weight." Nina looked at the person in front of her. She could not stop crying when she thought of how Percy was right in front of her as soon as she woke up.

When she saw Luca, she was completely relieved and knew that she was truly safe.

Luca sat on the chair beside the bed and held Nina's frail hand. "After you're discharged, you need to make up for the weight you've lost and eat more food so that you can get back to how you were before."

"I'll eat more if you're the one cooking for me!" Nina was more relaxed when Luca was around. She did not want Luca to worry about her, so she pretended to be at ease and joked.

Luca poked her forehead and asked, "Did Mr. Percy take you to the hospital?"

"Yeah. If it weren't for him, I'd still be sick and stuck in the villa. Luca, if I wasn't on my period, Pierre would've gotten to me. During my tthere, I thought about everything that had happened. I was overwhelmed with endless grief and fear. I regretted being so willful and thinking that I could solve everything by myself. In the end, it was Percy who helpedsolve all of my troubles. I'm not that capable..." Nina told Luca the things she had thought about over the last few days.

Luca nodded with a smile on her face. "Yes, Mr. Percy has put in a lot of thought and tfor you but you didn't notice it before."

"I see it now. Luca, do you think it's still possible forand him?" Nina hesitated for a few seconds before she asked.

After she went through everything that she did, she saw the truth that she had tried to bury and knew that Percy held a special place in her heart.

All along, she thought that the gap between them was too large to overcome, so she never wanted to admit her feelings for him...

"Of course, it's possible," Luca said immediately and with certainty, "Look, Mr. Percy rescued you when you were in trouble. You were locked in the villa these past few days, so you don't know what went on. Mr. Percy has been looking for you since you went missing. He hardly ate or slept during this period. If

Pierre wasn't too cunning and hid you in their mother's villa, you would have been found sooner."

Nina smiled. Although she knew that Percy would look for her, when she heard her close friend say that, she could feel the hardships that Percy went through in the last couple of days.

"I'm sorry to have worried you," she said.

Luca swept her bangs aside and said, "All Pierre did was hold you hostage. He didn't hurt you, right? "

"No. Don't worry, I don't find the need to lie for him." Nina shook her head. She felt much better after she got the glucose intravenous infusion.

"If he really did anything to you, I'll destroy him!" Luca said as a murderous look flashed in her eyes.

She was not joking.

She could let it slip when Pierre hurt her but she would never endure him hurting those she held dear.

Nina looked at her and thought the way Luca cared for her felt familiar. She was worried that Luca would step on Pierre's toes for her, so she gently held Luca's hand and said, "Trust me, nothing happened except that I starved. It was just for a few days. The weight loss is not a big deal."

"Enough with the fake optimism. I'm sure that this incident must have caused a lot of trauma. If you're ready to talk, tell Mr. Mallory everything. Find a psychiatrist and go for therapy. Don't keep everything to yourself,” Luca said.

Nina nodded.

Luca glanced at the fruits on the table and asked, "There are sfruits here. Do you want some?"

"Yeah, I want sgrapes," Nina said after she noticed that there were grapes in the fruit basket. Percy had asked someone to send it over after Johann told him that she could have fruits to supplement her condition.

The fruits in the basket were all her favorites.

Nina did not expect that Percy, who had never once asked her what she liked, would know so much about her.

After she took off her rose-tinted glasses, she found that he was not arrogant toward her. Rather, he was careful and considerate.

Luca walked to the fruit basket, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "They're all your favorites. Did Mr. Percy buy it for you?"

"How did you know?" Nina was surprised.

"Mr. Percy is the only one who would be so thoughtful to prepare so much for you. Look at me. I came in a hurry and am empty-handed." Luca picked up a bunch of grapes and walked into the bathroom.

After her reminder, Nina noticed that Luca cwith Luke.

It was Saturday. Logically speaking, Luca did not have to go to work, and her outfit also did not look like she cfrom work...

Luca washed the grapes and saw the delicate fruit plate on the side. She thought that Percy was so thoughtful that he even got a plate ready.

She picked it up, put the grapes on it, and went out.

"The grapes look fresh. They should be very sweet." Luca put the grapes on the bedside table, looked at Nina who was still on the intravenous drip, and asked, "Would you liketo help you adjust the bed?" "Okay." Nina nodded. Percy was so worried about her just now that he refused to adjust the bed even though she said that she was getting back pain from lying down so much.

She did not say anything seeing how ill at ease he was.

Luca helped to adjust the bed, then assisted Nina to a sitting position. She put the pillow up to make her more comfortable.

Nina was about to pick up the fruit plate when Luca said, "I'll do it. Your hand is still attached to the drip. Don't move around."

"I'm thankful to have you here taking care of me." Nina saw how worried Luca was for her. To outsiders, they seemed like friends who had known each other for more than ten years.

"What about Mr. Percy? Mr. Percy has been taking care of you too. What do you think of him?" Luca joked. Since Nina was safe and sound, all she needed to do was to make her happy.

"I've said what I wanted to say. Let's move on from the topic and have sgrapes." Nina blushed slightly. When she thought of how Percy had risked everything to save her, she realized that the emotions that filled her heart were not feelings of being touched; it was love.

Luca noticed that she was blushing. She handed the grapes to her hand and asked, "Do you want me to peel the skin off for you?"

"How do you know that I like to peel the skin off the grapes?" Nina thought that it was a little odd that Luca knew everything about her. Although the two had known each other for a while, she had never eaten grapes in front of her.

"That's because I like to eat grapes without the skin too." Luca helped to peel the skin off seeing that the needle was still stuck in the back of Nina's hand.
