Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3444 The Beatings He Endured All Those Years

Luke sat in the villa, staring at Luca's message.

He was worried.

For a moment, he considered calling her, but then he remembered that there were surveillance cameras everywhere on her side. He dismissed the idea immediately.

Her safety came first.

Luke reminded her: [Take care of yourself. Don't worry, I'll handle everything. Just focus on keeping yourself safe.]

The worry in his heart refused to subside, but at this moment, there was no better solution. "Boss, you're worried about your wife, huh? If you really can't stand it, we can sneak you in again during the next shift change, just like last time," said Gale.

It had been his idea last time.

Now, the real Lucius was still locked up in the basement of the villa.

It had been nearly a month. Luke had forced him to take the antidote Luca had recreated. The man was still alive, proving the antidote worked perfectly.

"That plan is too risky." Luke put his phone away. His gaze was dark and thoughtful.

"Risky, sure. But at least it'll ease your longing. And let's be real, you're worried sick about her anyway," replied Gale. He casually replied to a message from Rain and then continued, " Besides, our disguise skills are top-notch. No one will notice. We'll be fine."

"First of all, not everyone is like Lucius, who barely interacts with his pals. It's rare to find someone who matches my height and build exactly. Second, do you really think no one will notice?" questioned Luke.

Gale was about to retort when Luke added, "Shanks already did."

"Shanks? Wait... What?!" Gale's face was filled with astonishment. "He figured it out? How

"I thought Shanks barely leaves his lab? You guys only had one meal together, and you were only near his lab once. How did he recognize you?" Gale still found it hard to believe.

"Maybe he was just fishing for information, testing you. There are so many people on the Island of Despair. Sure, he might've treated Lucius before, but it's not like he'd remember his face so easily..."

Luke remained silent.

Gale kept talking to himself before suddenly clapping his hands together. "Yeah, he's definitely fishing for information! Boss, you need to warn Luca and tell her not to fall for it. You and I both spent time on the Island of Despair.

"Although the leadership has changed, most of the people inside are still corrupt. They're cunning to the core. They can't afford to be fooled so easily."

"Luca won't." Luke's voice was quiet but firm. "For the sake of our child, she'll be twice as careful. She won't fall for any tricks."

Gale nodded, realizing he was right.

Luca had endured so much. Everything she had done was for the child.

To be honest, when he first met Bianca, he thought she was the delicate, gentle type-a woman meant to stay home and be cared for. It made sense that a woman like that would be the love of Luke's life.

However, choosing someone like her as a life partner? That required absolute devotion and protection. Otherwise, it would easily fall apart.

He never expected that the delicate, fragile woman he once thought she was could survive three whole years on the Island of Despair.

She had completely transformed for the sake of her child and for the chance to see Luke again. It was like she had been reborn. She was nothing like the delicate, weak woman she used to be.

At that moment, Gordan returned from outside.

"Luke, I'm back," he announced as he grabbed a bottle of cold water from the fridge before flopping onto the couch and taking a deep swig.

"How did it go?" asked Luke.

Ever since he found out that Luca had to accompany Abel and Hera on a shopping trip, he had sent Gordan to tail them. He was worried something might happen to her.

"Don't even get me started! That woman is an absolute nightmare. She treated Luca like a servant! If it weren't for the fact that the actions Abel plans to take on her are so cruel and irreversible, I honestly wouldn't be bothered saving her even if something were to happen." Gordan ranted furiously, "Not only did she buy a ridiculous amount of clothes and handbags but skincare products too. That so-called miracle water? The whole bottle, including the liquid, isn't light at all, and she bought several of them! She also bought a bunch of other skincare items! I saw that Luca's hands were completely red from carrying everything." Luke's fists clenched tightly.noveldrama

Hera dared to treat Luca like this?!

Gale noticed the storm brewing in Luke's expression and quickly nudged Gordan with his foot.

That was when Gordan finally realized how dark Luke's expression had become. Clearing his throat, he quickly added, "But Luca isn't weak. She has clearly been trained. Those shopping bags were nothing to her. Luke, don't be mad. Once we take down the Island of Despair, she'll be able to come back. And when that happens, we can also teach Hera a lesson on her behalf."

"Okay." Luke gave a low hum in response before standing up and heading upstairs. Gordan elbowed Gale. "What do you think that meant?"

"It probably means he's definitely planning to teach Hera a lesson," answered Gale.

"I guess so. He's a revenge machine. There's no way he'd just sit back and watch Luca get bullied." Gordan found it completely reasonable.

Gale did too.

"You, though. You could've just reported the situation and left it at that. Why'd you go on and on? Boss was already in a bad mood, and now, you've just made him worry about Luca even more."

Hearing that, Gordan frowned. "Why was he in a bad mood? Because he misses her?"

Gale shot him a look before finally explaining everything about how Shanks might have already figured out that Luke had disguised as Lucius and how he suspected they were planning to take down the Island of Despair.

"Shanks? Isn't he just a doctor? Or a scientist or something? How the hell did he figure it out

Gordon found it hard to believe when he heard that.

"According to Luca, Shanks actually seems eager for us to take down the Island of Despair. He doesn't seem too keen on working for Abel anymore." Gale leaned back into the couch, finding a more comfortable position.

At that moment, his phone lit up. Seeing the message, he immediately picked it up to reply.

Gordan watched as Gale's smile nearly stretched from ear to ear and could not help but frown. "Hey, you're in charge of so many people. Can you at least try to maintain some dignity?"

"Piss off. Single guys don't get to comment on people in relationships." Gale waved him away without even looking up. "If you've got time, go talk to Lucius downstairs. See if

anything slipped."

"Got it." Gordan stood up and headed toward the elevator, but just as he was about to step inside, he suddenly heard Gale call out.

"Oh yeah, did you hear? Ray is coming to A City."

Gordan froze. His steps faltered, and he turned to look at the person on the couch who was

busy flirting with Rain.

"He has a perfectly good life in Russia. Why the hell is he coming to A City?" Gordan frowned. Just thinking about him gave him a lingering sense of dread.

If it were just a one-on-one fight, that would be fine. He could at least throw a few punches.

However, that bastard never fought fair. He always had his men step in, completely lacking any sense of honor!

The beatings Gordan endured all those years still haunted him.

He had always wanted to get back at Ray, but no matter how skilled he was, his two fists

were no match for an army of subordinates.

When he heard that Ray was coming, a shiver ran through his body.
