Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 2922

Apart from the first message Jason sent to him asking if he woke up, everything that followed was in voice messages.

Luke raised an eyebrow and played the first voice message.

"Boss, several local newspaper companies in the city are reporting about your affair with Dr. Craw. The newspapers have already printed it all. Online public opinion is ablaze with heated discussions." Jason's voice carried a hint of urgency and a touch of helplessness.

Before Luke could react, Luca was startled for a moment. She immediately sat up. "What?"

When Luke saw the anxious expression on her face, he comforted her. "Relax."

Then, he played the next voice message.

"Among the newspapers that reported this are Green Apple Daily and Pineapple Entertainment News, none of which have any affiliation with the company. That's why we didn't receive any prior notice."

Luke slowly sat up. Previously, Gale mentioned that Karen, Myra, and the others would not act so quickly. However, before he knew it, Karen had already leaked this to the media.

As Luca listened to Jason's messages, her brows furrowed. At the stime, she reached for the phone on her bedside table, opening the local forum.

Sure enough, she saw photos of her and Luke on the forum's front page.

The news with photos was incredibly sensational. Luca frowned and clicked on it, finding that there were already thousands of comments below the post.

Luca took a deep breath, not bothering to read the content of the article in detail. She turned to look at Luke.

By now, several of Jason's voice messages had played.

Luca could feel her mind going blank.

What should she do?

Unpleasant thoughts simultaneously crossed her mind.

She and Luke were originally husband and wife, but even Luke himself did not know about her true identity—let alone anyone else!

If the people who cared about Bianca found out about this, it would likely cause a huge uproar.

Luca stared at Luke's face.

Despite what had happened, Luke remained calm. It was as though he was not the person in the gossip news.

It created a noticeable contrast with her being unsure of what to do.

Luke took a while to listen to all the voice messages Jason sent to him. Then, he returned to the message inbox and tapped on the message Jack had sent to him.

When he saw Jack sending him a message, his brows had slowly started to furrow.

Jack knew Luca's true identity. Therefore, this gossip news meant nothing to him.

However, Queenie did not know about it.

As soon as the gossip news was posted online, Jack sent him a message. It was probably because of Queenie.

Luke opened it.

Jack's serious voice cthrough the speaker. "Luke, you need to cto the hospital right away."

Then, another message followed. "Your mother-in-law saw the news. She had a hypertensive episode and has been taken to the central hospital. I think you need to explain things to her. And bring Luca along with you."

Luca's heart tightened. Queenie ended up in the hospital because of the gossip news?

She quickly got out of bed.

Luke watched Luca as she opened the closet and took out her clothes. He got up and asked, "Are you really going to the hospital?"

"I'm worried..." replied Luca. After all, Queenie was her biological mother. She got so upset that she ended up in the hospital. How could Luca not go?

"But..." Luke uttered a simple syllable and did not continue.

If Luca did not intend to reveal the truth, Queenie would only get more upset when she saw her.

Before Luke could finish his sentence, Luca understood what he meant. She blamed herself as she pursed her lips. After being with Luke for so long, she had grown accustomed to a sense of security in their relationship. She had never thought that one day, their relationship would be exposed.

They had kept their relationship under the wraps. That was why she had not really given much thought about it.

It was a blend of hopeful optimism and getting caught up in it. After being separated from Luke for over three years, they were drawn back together. She could not bring herself to leave.

Even though her rational side often grappled with her attachment, she ultimately chose to stay by his side and with their children. Over time, she began to disregard the risk of being exposed by the media. Despite being cautious, there would inevitably ca day when they would be discovered.

Luca could almost predict Queenie's reaction when he saw her. She said, "Perhaps I should wait by the hospital ward's door. You can go inside and check on Mrs. Norman's condition."

"Okay," Luke did not refuse her, but a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

Even after being exposed by the media, Luca still did not plan to cclean about her identity.

It seemed like stronger measures were needed.

After a quick wash, Luca informed Rhett that she had surgent matters to deal with and asked for a day off. She would not be returning to the company today. If there were any work-related issues, they could contact her through video calls.

Rhett had already seen the news, but a competent assistant would not pry into his superior's personal matters. After he replied to Luca that he would help her to ask for a leave, he did not inquire further.

After ending the call, Luca and Luke headed downstairs.

Aunt Neile had also seen the gossip news today. Her mouth was slightly open as she watched Luke and Luca cdownstairs. However, she did not say anything.

She had known about Luca being with Luke for a while, but seeing it in the newspaper still surprised her. She wondered why Luca had been so careless as to be photographed with Luke.

However, she did not comment on it. She pretended not to know and greeted them with a smile on her face, "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, breakfast is ready."

"Aunt Neile, could you pack a few buns for us? We'll have them in the car," Luke glanced at the breakfast on the table and asked her to pack sbuns.

Queenie was at the hospital. He had to rush to the hospital to find out what was going on.

Otherwise, Luca would be worried.

"Sure." Aunt Neile nodded and packed two servings of buns. Then, she filled a thermos with milk, handing both bags to Luca.

"Ms. Craw, remember to have your breakfast."

"Okay. Thank you, Aunt Neile." Luca took the bags from her and walked out with Luke.

Luke took the wheel, and Luca sat in the passenger seat. When they stopped at a red light, she handed him one of the buns.

Luke took the opportunity to quickly take a few bites.

Luca only managed to eat one bun. She did not have the appetite because of the gossip news and her concern for Queenie.

Queenie had seen those reports. What about Wanda and Old Man Rayne...

Luca frowned. She was so worried about Queenie that she almost forgot about that. She turned to Luke and said, "Shouldn't we inform the two caretakers not to let Ms. Rayne and Old Man Rayne know about it..."

"You can't stop it. Just take things as they come," replied Luke. Now that newspapers had reported it, other media outlets would naturally rush to cover the story. TV news also had entertainment segments. Even if the caretakers tried to manipulate the situation, there was no way to completely avoid it.

Luca's lips pursed even more tightly. Taking things as they cwas something she could not accept.

Her beloved family members were getting older, and their health was not the best. If they found out about Luke's relationship with her and how everyone was calling her a mistress, they would be furious for Bianca's sake. That would affect their health.
