Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3233 The Deeper The Love, The Deeper The Hatred

After hanging up the phone, Luca let out a helpless sigh. "What's with the smile?"

*Your call was so loud that I heard everything," replied Vivian, pointing at her phone.

"You're even making fun ofnow? Your English is getting better and better," said Luca, sticking out her tongue at her.

Vivian nodded. "Of course. I'm the fastest learner in my language class. The lecturer even said that if I kept it up, I could skip the language class and go straight into my major next semester.

"Are you planning to go straight into your major?" asked Luca.

Vivian nodded. "The new school year starts in September in A City. I'm working hard to keep up with the new semester so that I won't fall behind."

"Don't worry, you already know quite a bit." Luca was impressed by Vivian's progress.

*That's for everyday language. I still struggle with professional terms. Besides, I'm better at speaking than writing. And I can't answer the exams in Russian, right?" Vivian shared her recent experiences.

She enjoyed telling her friends about what had been going on.

Luca listened attentively, enjoying the dishes that the waiter served them.

Before they finished their meal, Luca received a call from Aunt Neile.

"Yes, Aunt Neile?" Luca gave Vivian an apologetic smile and answered the call.

*Ms. Craw, I'm supposed to deliver soup to Mr. Norton, but he's not in his ward, and the nurse doesn't know where he is. Can you helpcontact him? I don't have his phone number," said Aunt Neile.

Aunt Neile had been delivering soup and meals to Gordan. She knew where his hospital ward was, but she had never asked for his number.

Now that she could not find him, she had no choice but to call Luca.

Luca instinctively shot a glance at Vivian.

Her phone volwas quite high, so Vivian must have heard Gordan's name.

*Okay, I'll help you contact him," replied Luca, covering the mouthpiece. After she hung up the call, she called Gordan.

When the call was answered, she nodded to Vivian and stepped toward the entrance of the restaurant to speak.

"Ms. Craw, what's the matter?" Gordan's nonchalant voice cthrough the phone.

His condition had improved a lot the day after the surgery.

He was thinking about getting discharged, but since Luke would not allow it, he had to stay in the hospital.

"How's your arm?" Luca asked with concern.

"It's fine, all healed up," replied Gordan.

Luca rolled her eyes. He was such a show-off. Gordan was not exactly the type to heal so quickly.

The surface of the wound might have healed, but not the deeper issues.

*Stop bluffing. Where are you? Aunt Neile went to your ward but couldn't find you, and the nurse doesn't know where you are," questioned Luca.

Gordan chuckled. "I'm healing really fast, thanks to your soups."

Luca listened to Gordan's playful banter but quickly realized what was going on.

*Did you sneak up to the hospital rooftop to smoke again?"

Gordan had a serious smoking habit and had been caught several times smoking in the hospital. Later, he started sneaking up to the rooftop.

The doctors had warned him not to smoke until his injuries were fully healed.

However, Gordan ignored their advice, so the doctors reported it to Luke.

They made it clear that if Gordan's wounds got worse or if there were complications, it was not their responsibility because he was not following their instructions.

Luke had mentioned this to Luca before.

"You're really sharp, Dr. Craw." Gordan chuckled. "You're as smart as Luke."

*Cut the nonsense. You need to take care of yourself. The doctors and nurses don't want you to smoke for your own good. Get back downstairs. Aunt Neile is still waiting in the ward," urged Luca.

"Alright, I'll head down now."

After ending the call with Gordan, Luca returned to her table.

*Sorry about that sudden call." Luca did not mention Gordan's name.

Vivian smiled and shook her head. She continued to have her lunch, even though her enthusiasm was noticeably diminished compared to earlier.

Luca noticed it and secretly let out a sigh. She asked, "Vivian, what's wrong?"

"I heard Gordan's non the phone earlier?" Vivian pondered for a moment and asked.

"Yeah, it was Aunt Neile calling." Luca confirmed.

"He's hospitalized?" asked Vivian. She was trying to keep her tone neutral.

"Yeah."

"What did he do this time? Did someone beat him up?" Vivian thought that was the only reason he could have ended up in the hospital.

Luca felt a bit awkward. Vivian's reaction was quite unexpected.

She shook her head.

Vivian was taken aback for a moment. Was that not the case?

Sure enough, ordinary people could not even hurt Gordan. It even took a group of people to pin Ray down.

*He got shot because of something related to me," Luca explained in Russian.

Vivian's eyes widened in surprise. Although she did not say anything, her expression clearly asked for more details.

Luca reminded her, "Do you remember the trial case from a few days ago?"

*The Russian guy?" Vivian recalled, mentioning how sclassmates who knew she was Russian had asked her about Matysh's case.

She had heard of Matysh. However, she had not looked into him deeply as her family had no connection with the

Abaza family.

"Yes." Luca nodded.

Vivian put two and two together. "So, the person who got shot was Gordan?"

"Yes." Luca nodded again.

Vivian's blue eyes flashed with a complex expression. Then, she replied in a cold voice, "He brought it upon

himself."

Luca secretly heaved a sigh. See, Vivian was just that kind of woman who said one thing but meant another.

If there was any doubt before about whether Vivian still had feelings for Gordan, it was clear now.

She definitely still had feelings for him.

However, those feelings had changed. Vivian was now on the edge of love and hate.

Even though she did not completely hate Gordan yet, she was not far from it.

There was a saying in A City-the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.

That was exactly how Vivian was now. She still loved him, so the hate was not overwhelming. She cared about everything Gordan did, but this concern had turned into something more bitter.

For example, when she said he brought it upon himself just now.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" asked Vivian, realizing only after she spoke what she had said.

Realizing that Gordan got hurt while trying to help Luca, she knew Luca would not share her harsh view. Feeling embarrassed, Vivian quickly added, "Sorry, I was just venting."

"It's okay, don't worry about it. Eat up before the food gets cold," replied Luca, serving her smore food.

She could understand Vivian's feelings but did not agree with her.

Despite Gordan's past issues, his injury this twas indeed due to his attempt to help her.
