Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 2597

The middle-aged woman who was mocked by Leia earlier thought what the caretaker said made sense.

The caretaker was only doing her job, and she did not mock them. Therefore, she said, “She went out with a disreputable-looking woman. They’re probably talking about something others shouldn’t be listening to. That’s why they went looking for a quiet place to talk.”

“Thank you.” The caretaker immediately picked up the bag filled with a few water bottles and went looking for Leia based on what the middle-aged woman had told her. She eventually saw Leia and Mandy at the end of the corridor in the hospital.

Even though Mandy was wearing a mask, the caretaker had memorized the faces of the people who often appeared around Leia before she came here. That was why she recognized Mandy with just a glance.

She was the woman who was with Matysh.

It seemed like what the middle-aged woman said was true. Their conversation had to be kept secret.

The caretaker pretended to be anxious and headed in their direction. “Ms. Norman.”

Leia turned around and glanced at the caretaker when she heard her voice. She pulled a long face and explained to Mandy, “She’s the caretaker my grandma sent.”

“Oh.” Mandy nodded. She had said what she wanted to say to Leia, so she did not think that the caretaker’s appearance was a big deal. Then, she watched the caretaker walk toward them and size her up.

“Ms. Norman, I got you the water you wanted.” The caretaker deliberately breathed heavily as though she was in a hurry.

“What took you so long? Are you trying to make me die from dehydration?” Leia raged.

“I’m sorry. It was crowded in the supermarket.” The caretaker handed a bottle of water to Leia.

“How am I supposed to drink this if you don’t open the bottle cap for me?” Leia did not take the water bottle from her. “I wonder what made Grandma send you here. How dumb.”

“I’m sorry.” The caretaker unscrewed the bottle cap and handed Leia the water bottle.

“That’s better,” mumbled Leia. She noticed that the caretaker stood there stiffly without thinking of handing a bottle of water to Mandy. Then, Leia added, “Haven’t you noticed that I have a visitor here? Aren’t you supposed to hand her a bottle of water too?”

“Oh, okay.” The caretaker immediately nodded, unscrewed another bottle of water, and handed it to Mandy. “Miss, have some water please.”

Mandy took the water bottle from her and turned to look at Leia. “Okay, I guess that’s all for today. I’ll visit you again some other day.”

“Okay. Be careful when you’re on your way home.” Leia treated Mandy so much better due to the money she received.

After Mandy left, Leia was constantly rolling her eyes at the caretaker, and she had no intention of returning to the ward.

It annoyed Leia when she was reminded of the two middle-aged women who spoke ill of her behind her back.

“Ms. Norman, aren’t you going back? It’s almost time for your IV drip,” said the caretaker. She happened to see the nurses at the nurses’ station mixing the IV solutions, and one of them mentioned Leia’s name when she walked out of the elevator.

“Why are you rushing me? Can’t you just let me take another sip of water?” Leia took a sip of water and threw the half-full water bottle into the trash bin right away.

The caretaker saw what Leia did and quietly shook her head behind her. What a waste.

If she were to continue to pretend to be a caretaker to keep an eye on Leia, she would be at a loss for words…

Leia slowly walked back to the ward. When she entered the ward, the woman on the first ward bed smiled and asked, "Did you manage to get your water?"

Leia let out a snort and ignored her.

The caretaker replied, “Yes, would you like to have some?”

“I can’t afford to drink such expensive water.” The patient on the first ward bed immediately rejected the offer.

Leia replied in an enigmatic manner, “Glad that you’re aware of that. These bottles of water can probably cover the cost of a day's meals for you.”

The expression on the patient’s face turned sullen when she heard that.

The caretaker pretended like nothing had happened as she placed the water bottles in the cabinet. She was secretly complaining and asking why her boss assigned her such a mission…

The other patients were considered kind and good-tempered. If it were not for her being on a mission now, she might have slapped Leia in the face if she said such things to her.

She would not have cared whose daughter she was!

Luca's body temperature was lower than usual because of the drug she took. A cold gust of wind met them, and Luke held Luca's hand. He frowned, took his coat off, and draped it over Luca's shoulder.

“Mr. Crawford, I…” Luca wanted to reject him.

“You’ll be warm when we get into the car.” Luke held her hand and headed to the parking lot where he had parked his car.

Luca had no choice but to follow behind him. Luke was right. They would feel warm again if they hurried and got into the car. Luke would not have to lend his coat to Luca either.

The two of them got into the car.

Luca handed the coat to Luke and said, “Mr. Crawford, it’s warm now. Put it on.”

“Put it on the backseat of the car,” replied Luke as he adjusted the air heater in the car to make it warmer.

Luca heard him and placed the coat on the backseat of the car. Then, she heard him saying, “There’s no one here now. How should you address me?”

"Luke," Luca responded quickly this time.

Luke nodded satisfyingly and started the car engine.

Luca’s phone rang the moment she fastened her seat belt.

She glanced at her phone and noticed that it was the landline from home.

“Hello?” Luca had no idea who was calling her.

Tommy’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Ms. Luca, when are you and Daddy coming back home?”

"We're on our way back. It's half an hour's drive from here. Be good and wait at home. Wait for us to come back, okay?" Luca glanced at the man beside her. Luke was driving out of the hospital.

It would take 20 minutes to drive from the hospital to the villa. However, it was rush hour now as people were getting off work. Besides, it was raining. There might be traffic congestion too.
