Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3434 He's Insane

Luca also reminded Luke to tell the kids not to contact her during this period. The device could not be removed. If it was, Abel would definitely notice.

Rather than making him suspicious or prompting him to install even better devices, it was better to just leave this one in place.noveldrama

Luke quickly replied: (Got it.)

Luca put on a faint smile and began narrowing down the search, trying to figure out where that man had installed the device.

If it was just for listening, she did not care. It could stay. However, if it was a surveillance camera, she needed to be more cautious. In the end, she found the device under the bed.

She did not bother checking whether it was for listening or monitoring. After all, if it was placed there, the only possibility was that it was an audio bug.

A camera in that spot would not capture anything useful.

Anyone trained on the Island of Despair would not make such a rookie mistake.

After a quick wash-up, Luca went to bed.

The next morning, she received a message from Johann, informing her that the appointment at the hospital had been made. It was a full VIP package, and all she had to do was mention her name and someone would take Hera for the check-up.

After Luca replied to him with a word of thanks, she continued to freshen up before stepping out of her room. As she was heading downstairs, she ran into Shanks.

"Mr. Shanks?" Luca was surprised to see him at this time.

"Are you taking that woman for a check-up today?" asked Shanks.

"Yes, it was Mr. Abel's request," answered Luca, making it clear that she had no choice in the matter.

Even though she knew what Abel was planning, she had no way to refuse.

Shanks' eyes darkened. "Come with me. I need to talk to you."

"Alright." Luca nodded and followed him into the lab.

There were no surveillance cameras here, making it a good place to talk.

"Abel doesn't just want that woman's eyes. He wants her kneecaps too," said Shanks.

Luca's eyes widened in shock. "What?"

Abel must have completely lost his mind!

Bone transplants were usually done using the patient's own bones. There were hardly any cases of transplanting bones from one person to another. It was far too risky.

"I won't perform the surgery," Shanks knew there was no chance it would succeed.

Even though he might figure it out in the future, artificial bone technology was already highly advanced. There was absolutely no need for this kind of research.

"This surgery shouldn't be done. The risk of rejection is too high. Even if their blood types match, it won't change that. Mr. Shanks, you should try to talk to Mr. Abel again. Artificial kneecaps aren't bad at all," replied Luca.

The technology was already mature, and there was no reason to take such a dangerous risk.

"He won't listen," replied Shanks.

Abel was stubborn. He believed that artificial kneecaps would negatively affect Kassy's long-term health and insisted on using real ones instead.

Shanks thought the man was insane. He regretted getting involved in Abel's work now.

Even though researching was his passion and something he wanted to pursue, he had never intended for his work to be used to harm people.

Shanks did not consider himself a good person, but he was not cruel enough to destroy someone's life either. He strongly disagreed with Abel's approach and could not understand his reasoning.

"Mr. Shanks, if you can't convince him, there's no way I can," added Luca.

If Abel was determined to go through with it, there was nothing she could do to stop him. She was not about to try reasoning with him over something that was practically impossible to achieve.

Just because Abel would not dare touch Shanks, it did not mean he would not come after her.

Shanks remained silent.

Luca glanced at the time and said, "I have to take Ms. Sanchez for her check-up."

Then, she walked out of the lab.

When she got downstairs, Hera was still asleep.

Luca spotted Gerald and asked, "Do you have any instant macaroni and cheese?"

"Yeah, Ms. Craw. Are you having macaroni and cheese for breakfast? That's way too unhealthy," Gerald asked in shock.

"I don't have time to cook. Just make me some," replied Luca.

"Alright." Gerald worked quickly and soon handed her a steaming bowl of instant macaroni and cheese.

Luca ate it while it was still hot. She took a sip of water just as Hera finally made her way downstairs. She carried herself like a queen, looking down at everyone around her.

"Why are you eating instant macaroni and cheese?" Hera frowned when she saw what they were eating.

"Ms. Sanchez, we didn't prepare breakfast today," explained Gerald.

"What do you mean there's no breakfast? I'm starving! And I don't eat junk like that. Go make me something!" Hera ordered Luca in a commanding tone.

"You need to fast for your check-up," Luca reminded her. She placed the bowl in the sink and added, "Ms. Sanchez, I've already arranged everything with the hospital. Let's go."

It was only then that Hera remembered the check-up. She actually dreaded getting examined.

Hera knew her body was not in great condition. She was constantly staying up late, drinking, and smoking. There was no way her test results would look good.

The only reason she had agreed to it yesterday was because she had been swept up in Abel's sweet words. Moreover, he had promised to take her shopping for a new designer bag after the check-up. That was why she had said yes.

After waking up, Hera was not too keen on going.

"Ms. Sanchez, are you thinking of skipping the check-up?" Gerald immediately picked up on her reluctance.

"Who said that?" Hera firmly refused to admit that she did not want to go.

"Good. I was worried you might back out. After all, the boss promised you so many benefits. It'd be a real loss if you didn't go," Gerald reminded her, emphasizing the rewards she would get once the check-up was done. Luca cast Gerald an approving glance. He might not seem particularly sharp, but he knew exactly how to play on

Hera's greed.

"Ms. Sanchez, are we going?" asked Luca.

"I never said I wasn't! What's the rush?" Hera pretended to be graceful as she tucked her hair behind her ear. "Go hail a cab first."

"Alright." Luca simply booked a cab through a ride-hailing app with her phone.

When the car arrived, she had Gerald bring Hera outside.

As Luca watched Hera take a few steps before dramatically opening an umbrella, she could not help but find it amusing. Was that really necessary? It was still early. The sun was not even that harsh yet.

She pulled open the back seat door. Hera bent down and got in.

Luca closed the car door, gave Gerald a slight nod, and got into the front passenger seat instead of sitting next to Hera. She then signaled the driver to start driving.

As soon as the car started moving, Hera said casually, "Ugh, I'm telling you, can't you book a premium car next time? Who knows how many people have sat in this cab? It smells disgusting!"

Luca felt embarrassed.

Was she trying to pick a fight with her or the driver?

The driver was clearly offended. "Lady, if my car stinks so bad, you're more than welcome to get out right now. And if you're looking for a luxury ride, maybe stop slumming it in that little villa and check yourself into a five star hotel. They'll hook you up with a Benz, Bentley, or Rolls-Royce, no problem."
