Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3433 A Lamb Waiting To Be Slaughtered

"Babe, don't listen to her nonsense. She's just trying to drive a wedge between us," Hera said gently, hoping to earn Abel's affection.

Abel did not take Hera's words seriously. Instead, he picked up his phone and made a few inquiries.

After checking with multiple sources to confirm where Lucius and the others had gone, the person on the other end of the line reported that Lucius had not left home in the past few days.

As Luca listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, her expression remained calm.

Gerald let out a sigh of relief but was also puzzled. He had always felt there was something going on between Lucius and Luca, yet unexpectedly, Luca's outing this time had nothing to do with Lucius.

Hera's face turned pale. So, it really was not because of him.

In that case, she...

Hera instinctively looked at Abel, only to find that he was already staring at her. Their eyes met, and Hera could not help but shudder. Abel's gaze was terrifyingly cold.

Just when she thought he was going to question her about Lucius, his next words made her breathe a sigh of relief. "Are you still feeling unwell?" asked Abel.

Hera was not actually feeling unwell anymore, but worried that Abel might press further, she nodded and said, Yes, I still feel awful."

Abel turned to Luca. "Take Ms. Sanchez to the hospital for a full-body check-up tomorrow."

Luca was startled for a moment and turned to look at them.

Hera felt that a full-body check-up was a bit excessive. She hesitated before saying in a low voice, "I think I'll be fine after some rest,"

"No. If something's wrong, I'll be worried." Abel gently traced the area under her eyes with his fingertips. "Be good and do as I say. Get a full examination so that I can be at ease."

"Alright," Hera agreed obediently, thinking that this was his way of showing he cared.

When a man gave a woman something, she should not refuse as it would only dismiss his goodwill. Therefore, Hera decided to accept his kindness.

Abel turned to Luca and asked sternly, "Did you hear me?"

"Yes, I got it," replied Luca. She glanced at Hera's happy expression but remained indifferent.

Abel arranging a full check-up for Hera probably meant he was preparing to take action. Yet Hera was still sitting there, blissfully unaware of what was coming.

Sensing Luca's gaze on her, Hera smugly shot her a look of triumph.

Luca caught her glance and secretly let out a sigh. What was there to be so proud of? She was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

After giving Hera a few more instructions, Abel reminded her to take good care of herself. He also promised to pick her up after the check-up and take her shopping. With that, he finally left the small villa.

The group dispersed.

Only Luca, Hera, and Gerald were left in the living room on the first floor.

Hera leisurely stood up from the couch and said to Luca, "You have to take me there for my check-up tomorrow. Make sure to arrange everything properly. I want VIP service. I don't want to be stuck waiting with the common crowd."

"Don't worry, Ms. Sanchez. I'll contact the hospital and arrange a full VIP check-up for you," replied Luca.

Hera smirked arrogantly. "It better be that way. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Then, she turned toward the stairs. It was as though she was showing off as she muttered to herself, "Ugh, which bag should I buy tomorrow?"

Gerald watched as Hera disappeared up the stairs, then turned to look at Luca.

Luca was on the phone, arranging the check-up with the hospital.

Once the call ended, Gerald asked, "Ms. Craw, can you really book a check-up this late at night?"

"I have a connection. I know someone at the hospital," answered Luca.

Luca had asked Johann for help. With Johann's vast network across the country, booking a medical appointment was an easy task.

"Wow, Ms. Craw, your connections are really impressive," complimented Gerald. "Don't flatter me. If you have a question, just ask." Luca did not react to his flattery.

He scratched his head. "It's not really a question, but something just feels off." "What feels off?" asked Luca.

"Well, the boss seems to treat Ms. Sanchez really well, right?" said Gerald.

She remained silent.

"But at the same time... he doesn't? He arranged the check-up for her and even promised to take her shopping afterward. That sounds nice, but if he really cared about her, wouldn't he let her stay somewhere better? This place is just a small villa, and it's filled with men. The environment is pretty average too. Why not put her in a five-star hotel instead?" Gerald mused.

Luca secretly let out a sigh. He was surprisingly perceptive.

Even someone as oblivious as Gerald could sense something was wrong. Meanwhile, Hera still thought Abel was treating her well.

"Who knows?" replied Luca. "Maybe Mr. Abel thinks this place is the safest for her."

"Safe, sure, but Ms. Sanchez isn't someone like us. Why would she even be in danger?" Gerald was still confused." A five-star hotel should be plenty safe too. This whole situation is weird."

Luca did not respond. She needed to inform Luke that Abel was running out of patience and about to make his

move.

As she headed upstairs, Gerald followed her and sneakily asked, "Ms. Craw, you really didn't go out on a date today?"

"I was just handling some matters. Why would you think I was on a date?" Luca looked completely baffled. "Did you think I went on a date with Lucius too?"

"Well... you and Lucius seem to have great chemistry, so I just assumed..." Gerald trailed off, wondering if he had misread the situation.

"You assumed wrong. There's nothing like that. Don't spread rumors like that. If the wrong person hears it, I'll be the one in trouble," explained Luca before walking into her room.

As she reached the corner of the hallway, she suddenly stopped. She saw a man entering her room and hesitated for a moment.

These men would not dare make a move on her. However, someone actually dared to enter her room now...

Luca's eyes darkened. She decided to wait at the corner for the man to come out. The man was inside for only a minute before stepping out again. He came out empty-handed without taking anything.

Luca was not surprised. There was nothing valuable in that room anyway.

She waited until the man had walked some distance away before casually stepping out from the corner, pretending she had just arrived.

When the man saw her, his expression froze for a moment. A flicker of panic flashed across his eyes.

Luca remained indifferent, acting as though she had not noticed anything. She walked straight into her room.

She did not close the door immediately. Instead, she stood there and took a deep breath. There was no strange smell in the air.noveldrama

That meant...

Her eyes darkened further as she pulled out her phone.

Luke had installed a monitoring system on this device when he knew she would be staying here. Luca ran a quick scan, and sure enough, the machine flashed a red light. She routinely checked it every day before chatting with Luke or the kids.

It was almost certain that Abel had instructed that man to do this. At the thought of it, Luca sent Luke a message, informing him about her taking Hera for a check-up tomorrow and the fact that her room had been bugged.
