Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3404 Despite All The Challenges, They'll Never Give Up

The volunteer did not mind. As long as it meant he could recover, he was willing to endure any pain. "It's okay. I can handle it."

Luca nodded.

The door to the vehicle opened, and a man stepped inside.

Due to the lack of sterilization, he did not dare approach the inner part of the vehicle. Instead, he placed several bottles of saline on the outside.

"This is the saline that Mr. Shanks prepared. He asked you to inject it when you can," the man relayed Shanks' message.

"Got it." Luca reached out to take the bottles. After thoroughly disinfecting them, she brought them inside.

It was more complicated than being in a hospital.

Since the volunteer's body was still weak. They had to maintain as sterile an environment as possible.

However, it still fell short of the ICU's standard.

Luca stayed with the volunteer until evening. Gerald stood outside the medical vehicle and called, " Ms. Craw, it's time for dinner."

Luca took off her protective gear and stepped outside.

"Ms. Craw, dinner is ready," said Gerald when he saw her coming out. She had not eaten during the surgery earlier, so she could not skip dinner.

"You made it?" Luca eyed the tray of food. It did not look very appetizing.

"Yes." Gerald noticed her distaste. "I made some for Mr. Shanks and Ms. Sanchez too, but they weren't impressed either."

Shanks and Hera had grown accustomed to more refined meals, so when Gerald brought them their food, they made faces as if they were served something unappetizing.

There was nothing Gerald could do about it. His cooking skills were limited, and as long as it was not burned, he considered it a success.

Luca nodded. "I'm not impressed either."

Gerald did not expect her to be so blunt. "Ms. Craw, I know the taste isn't great, but it's better than nothing."

"Do you have instant noodles?" asked Luca. She had no desire to even try a bite of the food he made.

"We do." Gerald understood that she did not want to eat the food he prepared. "How about I make you a bowl of instant noodles?"

"Sure," replied Luca.

Gerald left with the tray and returned shortly with a bowl of instant noodles. "Here, Ms. Craw. Instant noodles."

"Thanks," replied Luca as she took the bowl and sat down to eat them while they were still hot. Gerald sat next to her, looking at the medical vehicle. "How's the person inside doing?"

"Everything's normal," replied Luca.

Gerald added, "That's pretty amazing."

Luca knew he was referring to the surgery they had just done.

She did not say anything and continued to eat.

"Dr. Craw, do you think he'll really be able to see?" Gerald sounded almost skeptical.

"Probably." Luca thought that if the volunteer could not regain his sight, Shanks' research during this time would be in vain.

Whenever Shanks conducted research, he was always confident that he had at least a 90% chance of success before he would proceed. Unlike other medical professionals who believed anything was possible, Shanks would not conduct research unless he was almost certain of the outcome.

Gerald listened to Luca's words and could not help but hiss and comment, "That's just unbelievable."

Luca finished her instant noodles, handed the empty bowl to him, and returned to the vehicle.

"Ms. Craw, are you going to rest in the vehicle tonight?" asked Gerald.

"Yes, his condition requires personal care." Luca did not mind. With Luke not around, it did not matter where she rested.

She entered the medical vehicle, disinfected herself, and then sat down next to the volunteer.

The volunteer smiled and asked, "Ms. Craw, have you had dinner?"

"Yes, I've eaten." Luca glanced at the saline bottles. Seeing that one was nearly empty, she began preparing a new one.

"Uh, I'm a little thirsty. Can I have some water?" asked the volunteer.

"Your current condition doesn't allow you to drink water. Please wait for another two hours," replied Luca after glancing at the time. After undergoing general anesthesia, he couldn't consume water or food yet.

"Alright." The volunteer fell silent.

Just then, Luca's phone rang with the sound of a notification. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Luke.

He told her he had returned to the villa in X city. She could come visit him whenever she had time. Luca was surprised. T Corporation had just acquired an important project, and yet he had not gone back to the company to oversee things but was staying here?

Luca replied: [I should be able to come over tomorrow afternoon.]

It had been a few days since they last saw each other, and she missed him dearly.

The volunteer, sensing the silence, spoke up again, "Ms. Craw."

"Yes?" replied Luca.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" asked the volunteer.

Luca let out a soft chuckle. "No."

"Really? I thought you and Mr. Shanks were a couple." The volunteer was a little surprised.

Luca was rendered speechless.

How did he have that impression?

"Mr. Shanks is my teacher," explained Luca.

"Ah, sorry! Whenever you two treat me together, you seem so in sync, so I thought you were a

couple. Looks like I made a big mistake," said the volunteer.

Luca just said nothing.

They had not treated him together that many times. Where did he get such an idea? Could it be that someone had been spreading rumors in front of him?

"Ah, so you're teacher and student. That makes sense. You two do seem to have a great rapport," added the volunteer.

Luca just hummed in acknowledgment.

Then, he exclaimed, "I thought Mr. Shanks was really young. I didn't realize he was your teacher."

Luca realized he had misunderstood.

Since the volunteer could not see, he did not know Shanks' age, so it was understandable that he

might think that way.

Luca explained, "Actually, Mr. Shanks is quite young. He's a genius."

"A genius, huh?" The volunteer quickly understood. "No wonder all the doctors said it wasn't possible but he said it was, and now, my legs are almost healed... He really is a genius."

He paused for a moment before speaking again, "Ms. Craw, Mr. Shanks is such an outstanding person. You're single, so maybe you could consider him?"

Luca was at a loss for words. Here she was, tending to a patient, and now, he was trying to play matchmaker?

She explained, "Well, I don't have a boyfriend, but I do have a husband, and I also have children."

The volunteer realized his mistake and quickly laughed awkwardly, apologizing, "Oh, sorry. I didn't know."

"It's fine." Luca did not hold it against him.

She was single on the Island of Despair. However, in reality, she was married with four children. The thought of possibly seeing Luke tomorrow afternoon filled her with anticipation.

"Your voice sounds so young. I didn't expect you to be married so soon," the volunteer rambled on. When he did not speak, his attention would be focused on the pain in his eyes and head. In moments like those, the pain felt amplified, so he tried to distract himself by talking.

Luca smiled. She was quite young when she gave birth for the first time.

As she thought back on all these years of twists and turns, it turned out that the person she had once admired from afar had actually been secretly in love with her too. She eventually ended up with him.

Luca felt like her journey was something out of a dream.

Fortunately, despite all the challenges they faced, she and Luke had never given up on each other.noveldrama
