Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 2939

"My choices have always been rational. As for the Norman family and other matters, I’m confident I can handle them well. Regarding the company and my personal matters, you don't need to worry about them," said Luke as he rose to his feet.

He did not explicitly ask her to leave, but every sentence he uttered hinted at her departure.

"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you." Susan gave a cold snort and left.

"Madam Crawford, my maid has finished her shift. Could you please help close the door when you leave?" Luca could not help but say.

When her mind was in turmoil, Susan showed up in front of her.

By not completely shutting her down, it was already a kind gesture for the Crawford family's sake.

Besides, considering her current personality, if the other person was not a member of Luke's family, she might have just walked away without wasting half a minute on their nonsense.

Susan cast a malicious glance back. She watched both of them stand up, shoulder to shoulder.

In terms of height and appearance, they were a good match.

However, what did it matter?

Luke had Bianca. It seemed like Luca's fate had already been written. She was destined to become a weeping loser.

Susan's figure disappeared in the foyer, and Luca's smile slowly faded as she turned to look at Luke. "Did you hear everything?"

"Yes." Luke nodded.

"Why were you hiding behind the stairs?" Luca could not help but wonder as she walked into the kitchen. She had been chatting with Susan for quite some time, and she was thirsty.

"She initially came looking for you. If I hadn't hidden behind the stairs, she wouldn't have had the chance to finish her speech. She'd come bother you again tomorrow. It's better to give her a chance to say everything at once," replied Luke as he followed her into the kitchen.

He knew what Susan was up to, but no matter how foolish she might be, she would not betray the interests of the Crawford family. Therefore, he did not intend to pay her any attention.

However, he did not expect her to have the audacity to come looking for Luca after what happened at Crawford Manor.

Trying to persuade Luca to leave? Luca’s real identity was Bianca, and Susan's speech would have no effect on her.

Lovers and mistresses…

It was simply ignorant and laughable.

"You do have a point." Luca admitted as she poured a glass of warm water for him and handed it over. After he took it from her, she poured herself a glass as well.

Luke furrowed his brows and took a sip of the water she handed him. "I heard everything."

"I know..." Luca knew what he meant.

He was talking about her confession of love for him in front of Susan…

Luca thought about it. It was indeed embarrassing, but at least it was only heard by the parties involved and not their kids.

Otherwise, she could not imagine the expressions on their faces when they heard her confessing.

Even though the three kids were still young, both Lanie and Rainie understood these so-called matters of the heart. After all, she had done her research. Kids their age, like Lanie and Rainie, were already starting to lose interest in studying and beginning to explore their unique personalities.

Some kids their age had even started dating.

"Is what you said true?" Even though he knew Luca's confession was heartfelt, she only said those words in front of Susan. He wanted her to confirm it in front of him.

"Yes, it is.” Luca slightly lowered her gaze and wore a smile on her face.

Luke felt like his heart was about to be melted by her gentle smile.

Luca had been back for a while, but she had never confessed so sincerely and bashfully before.

"Yes. She was perfectly fine this morning, but the news coverage escalated the situation further. Plus, they received news about Leia from the detention center. Mother couldn't handle it, and her blood pressure shot up again.

"Johann said they gave her prompt medical care, but the stress really got to her. Her blood pressure remains elevated," explained Luke.

Luca listened with a heavy heart. Prolonged high blood pressure could cause severe damage to various organs, especially the heart and lungs...

Typically, high blood pressure could be controlled using different medications to lower it. However, there were instances where, due to psychological stress and other factors, the blood pressure remained high no matter how much medication was taken.

Moreover, overdosing on hypertension medications was not advisable.

If long-acting drugs were not effective at controlling blood pressure, doctors might switch to shorter-acting medications.

If the blood pressure did not come down, doctors would be cautious about administering medication indiscriminately. There was a risk that excessive medication could flip high blood pressure to low blood pressure, which would be a clumsy solution and harmful to the body.

Luca could not help but feel unsettled when she heard that Queenie’s blood pressure remained high.

"For now, I have no choice but to put you through some trouble. I need to use these methods to suppress the news coverage. I also hope my mother-in-law can believe that I've been framed, that there's no truth to these allegations.

"But by doing this, you'll not only face criticism from the people, but you also won't be able to go to Norman Residence..." Luke explained, seizing the opportunity to push Luca into a corner.

When she had no way out, it would be the right time for her to come clean.

Luke did not want to be so ruthless, but reuniting with his family was a top priority. He needed to gather more information about the Island of Despair and rescue Luca.

"It's okay. Really," Luca reassured him, shaking her head repeatedly.

It was okay for her to be criticized by the people…

Not being able to go to Norman Residence did not matter to her either. She could secretly pay Queenie and Jack a visit.

As long as Queenie got better, that was what mattered most.
