Chapter 1552 What Was Her Motive?

Author: Heap Heap
"She's not 'that woman,' she's Luca. If you're not comfortable calling her Luca, you can call her Dr. Craw," Queenie said, frowning because of Leia's lack of manners.

Leia did not notice the change in Queenie's expression. She continued, "Didn't she come over during the day? Why is she here for dinner? Did she come over to steal the things from our house?"

Queenie was becoming irritated by what Leia said.

Steal their things? Luca was not like that.

That was what she thought in her mind, but she did not say that.

Seeing her mother not saying anything, Leia hugged Queenie's hand and said eagerly, "Don't blame me for being concerned, Mom. Sometimes, you have to assume the worst when dealing with outsiders like her. Dad's a very successful politician, and our home has many precious items. Also, you only have two daughters…"

Queenie pulled her hand away and said, "Alright. The macaroni's almost done. Go and wash your hands. You should go to bed after you eat."

    Jack shook his head and said, "No, that can't be. Luca isn't like that." After all his years as a politician, he was a good judge of character. He did not believe that Luca was someone who would befriend the three children just to get close to Luke. Moreover, she did not seem intimate with Luke. "You're not thinking about this carefully enough…" After so many years married, Queenie knew what Jack was thinking without him saying it. "Do you think that Luca and Luke are innocent just because they're not physically intimate with each other? There are some things that adults can hide but children can't, Jack. Look at our three grandchildren. They don't show any resistance toward Luca at all. It means that they're very familiar with Luca. I know what your worries are. Even though there's nothing between Luca and Luke now, who can tell what will happen in the future? Bea is still overseas, and I think we should keep an eye on Luke for her…" "Well, I still trust Luca. Even if I don'

    'Four people? Me and the children?' Luca looked at Luke, wondering if he would sleep on the couch or the floor. She glanced at the couch. The room was spacious enough to accommodate a bigger couch, but the bed was big, so the couch had to be smaller. It was not going to fit Luke. That meant that he would have to sleep on the floor. Luca asked, "Where will you be sleeping then, Mr. Crawford?" There was an ambiguous grin on Luke's face. Through the dim light, Luca could not tell if he was smiling. Before Luke answered the question, Tommy rubbed his eyes and said, "Daddy can sleep on the floor. Ms. Luca, can you read me a bedtime story?" Luca could not bear to see the child so sleepy. She went over to the bed and patted the spot next to her. "Let's sleep." Tommy lay down on the bed. Lanie and Rainie soon followed suit. Luca glanced at Luke again. He was looking in the direction of the bed. She was dressed in the silk gown, which accentuated the curves of her body.

  • Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle   Chapter 1555 She Felt Horrible

    Queenie felt very uncomfortable when she looked at the harmonious scene presented in front of her eyes. She went back to the master bedroom. Jack was facing the dressing mirror putting on his tie. He noticed Queenie coming in and asked her, "Are Luke and the others awake?" "They're awake," Queenie said. Seeing how composed Jack was, she stopped herself from saying more. Jack noticed the expression on her face. "What's wrong?" He asked out of concern. "Jack, I think you should speak to Luke whenever you have the time. When I went over to wake them up, I found Luca in their room…" Queenie said worriedly. Luca was an outstanding woman, and she was a good match for Luke. However, Luke was already their son-in-law. Even if Bianca had lost her memories, her love for Luke did not lessen. She would not accept it if Luke were together with another woman. Jack stopped what he was doing and frowned. "Did they sleep together?" "No. Luke was sleeping on the floor. He said that the chi

  • Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle   Chapter 1556 She Knew That Bianca Was An Impostor

    "Mm," Luke replied. He did not know why his daughter suddenly said that. Rainie continued, "I dreamed of Mommy last night. She told us to be good and listen to you. She also said that she's always by our side." Luke's grip on the steering wheel tightened subconsciously. When Rainie mentioned her Mommy, he inadvertently thought of Luca. By now, the Normans must be suspecting Luca. Luke had deliberately planned that. When the children asked him to invite Luca to tell them a bedtime story, he did not object. He wanted the Normans to see the scene in the bedroom. Luca's true identity was still under suspicion. Luke hoped to protect the Normans. After all, Jack and Queenie were Bianca's birth parents. Even though Luca had cured Queenie's illness, he could not help but think that Luca had deliberately approached them. That was why Luke came up with that plan. "That's not fair, Rainie. I didn't dream of Mommy." Tommy did not sound too happy. Rainie smiled and patted Tommy'

    Old Master Crawford was not too worried, even if Luke did not tell him much. He had already reminded his grandson what to do, and he trusted him to do it well. After Old Master Crawford left the study, Luke stared at the computer screen for some time before deciding that he should deal with the important matters first. He gave Percy a call and asked him to find someone for him. Luke needed a person who could impersonate voices. That person would use the impostor Bianca's voice to call Jack and Queenie. After Luke received a reply from Percy, he gave the person an audio recording of the impostor Bianca's voice and her detailed information. He sent the mail and continued to work. There was a reason why he had an audio recording of the impostor Bianca. When they first found her, he had recorded her voice and contacted a voiceprint expert to verify that the woman was indeed Bianca Rayne. The expert could not find anything out. The reason was simple: The impostor Bianca's voca

    "Hospitalized? It’s that serious?" Queenie realized the seriousness of the matter when she heard that Leia had to be hospitalized.The doctor nodded and replied, "Mrs. Norman, you don't have to worry. The situation can be controlled once we find out what caused it and come up with a treatment plan."Leia picked up the report on the table and looked at the results of the diagnosis at the end of the report. Her expression was glum as she said, "Did you make a mistake? I’m as healthy as can be. How could I have gotten infected with this disease?"The doctor pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He had encountered similar situations prior. Patients were sometimes unable to accept the harsh truth when they find out about their condition. Everyone wanted to be healthy and free from illness, so it was normal for them to need some time to process the news. "Ms. Norman, please calm down. We can find out more after you’re admitted and go through some examinations. The matter should be

    "I’m free today, let's have a look," Johann said as he stood up and left his office.The next day.Leia's test results were out. Her liver and kidney functions were chronically failing but the doctor could not find the root cause yet.Leia widened her eyes when the doctor told her about her situation. She asked, "You mean that I had to go through all those examinations but you still haven't figured out what's wrong?""Sorry, I’ll arrange an expert to consult on your situation and see if there are any examinations that we might’ve missed." The attending doctor apologized helplessly. Generally, the root cause of organ failure would be found after a detailed examination.There were very few cases like Leia who went through a round of examinations but the doctors failed to find anything. It was not to say that it was impossible. There was a one in 10,000 chance that the situation would occur. To find out the root cause, they had to do more in-depth examinations, and these required f

    "Aunt Queenie, good morning." Luca looked at the experimental equipment not far away from her. She was tired from doing experiments last night and fell asleep on the bed in the maid's room."Luca, did I wake you up?" Queenie felt a little bad when she heard Luca’s hoarse voice. As it was almost in the afternoon, Queenie did not expect that Luca had not woken up yet. Queenie had always been reluctant to disturb others, so she was a little embarrassed to have disturbed Luca's rest."No, I'm already up," Luca said. She stood up and walked to the experiment table, then put the experimental specimens away.She was researching the drug from the Island of Despair. However, without the specific drug and only a diluted version on hand, it was a little difficult for her to analyze the ingredients and content.After she was assigned the additional task, she knew that she had to hurry up and finish her research.Even if she could not get out of the grasps of the Island of Despair, she hoped

    “You don’t need to remind me. I was going to check anyway.” Abel shot Luca a chilling look.She took a step back and stayed silent.Abel turned to the pale-faced Hera and said, “If you’ve got low blood sugar, get up and eat something.”“I’ll eat now,” Hera replied, sitting up.Luca handed her the takeout.Abel glanced at the food and then frowned at Luca. “Why didn’t you make breakfast this morning?”“I was busy,” Luca explained with a calm indifference, her expression unwavering. She showed no fear, even under Abel’s questioning.Hera suddenly found herself admiring Luca. Everyone feared this man, yet Luca remained composed even when facing potential punishment. Not just anyone could pull that off.At the thought of this, Hera opened the takeout and kept quiet.Abel narrowed his eyes, glancing between Hera and Luca. His gaze was not exactly gentle as he muttered, “Stop eating this junk. It’s bad for you.”“I know, babe. Just this once. After this, I’ll have what Luca cooks f

    Hera panicked the moment she heard that. “I trust her!”Luca and Shanks were both watching her.Hera repeated herself, saying, “I trust her, okay? What kind of treatment does she need? I’ll cooperate with anything. But what about Abel…”“I’ll tell him it’s just to help improve your overall health,” replied Shanks. Then, he turned around, opened the medicine cabinet, and started preparing the prescription.Hera let out a sigh of relief. As long as Abel did not find out about her health condition, that was all that mattered.If he knew she was unwell, he would send her back to A City. Without free medical help and no way to make extra money, she would be in serious trouble.“Thank you,” said Hera.“Wait outside,” instructed Shanks.“Okay.” Hera carefully stepped out.Luca, however, remained where she was, waiting.While preparing the medicine, Shanks asked, “Do you know which acupoints to target for her?”“Yes,” Luca replied confidently. As long as she checked Hera’s pulse, sh

    “There are a lot of issues.” Luca did not hide anything and handed Hera the phone.Hera looked at it and frowned.“I can't understand any of this.” Hera felt dizzy just looking at the text, let alone the long list of medical terms. It was giving her a headache.“Look at these summaries and indicators. Compare the values on top with the normal values at the bottom, and you'll see what I mean,” explained Luca.Hera did not trust her. Therefore, Luca decided to let her see for herself. Seeing it with her own eyes would prevent any doubts later.Luca pointed out how to read the test results, and after a moment, Hera managed to understand the report. Her face turned pale. “How can there be so many problems?”She looked at Luca and questioned, “Did you fake this?”“I don’t have the power to make the medical center fake anything. Besides, the report has the medical center’s official stamp. If you don’t believe me, you can go directly to the medical center and ask for the official cop

    “I heard from the boss that he's coming because of Vivian.” Gale paused for a moment before adding, “But never mind, you don't seem interested in her affairs anyway. I'm just letting you know he's on his way.”Gordan frowned. Ray was coming for Vivian?What could that ugly woman possibly need?“What do you mean by that?” asked Gordan.Gale smirked. “If you and Ray meet, that’s bound to end in a fight. And since you can't win against him, you might want to mentally prepare yourself, or better yet, find somewhere else to stay. It’d be safer that way.”Gordan's expression darkened. “If you have nothing nice to say, just zip it.”Gale grinned, clearly pleased with himself like he had just hit a sore spot.Gordan exhaled sharply. “Of all times, why is he coming to A City now? He’s just making things worse.”“It can't be helped. Vivian's situation is urgent.” Gale covered his mouth mockingly after he said that. “Oh, right. I forgot you don’t like hearing about her.”Ray wanted to br

    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 lea

    Luca had not expected Abel and Shanks’ relationship to be like this.It seemed Abel still did not trust Shanks.Shanks continued, “Abel isn’t someone who trusts people easily. He doesn’t trust anyone. You think he’s devoted to Kassy now, right? That’s just his obsession. He's allowing Kassy to receive my treatment, but if it were him… No matter if he were blind or crippled, his safety would always come first. If he were seriously injured, maybe he’d accept treatment, but he definitely wouldn’t do it right away.”Luca stayed silent. Shanks really understood Abel well.Abel did not trust anyone—not even Kassy.Calling him paranoid would not be an exaggeration.Luca felt like they were getting off-topic, but she had never seen this side of Shanks before.In her mind, he was always buried in his work at the lab, only leaving for meals and sleep. Other than that, he was practically never outside.The lab was like his home…“Are you troubled by Hera’s situation?” Luca asked directly

    Hera was startled by Luca's words.The refusal that had been on the tip of her tongue suddenly got stuck in her throat.“I…” Hera hesitated, feeling conflicted. Leaving Abel might not be such a bad idea. At least she would not have to live in constant fear.She was finally realizing how unpredictable his moods were. At first, she thought it did not matter as she could still look at other men. She just had to ensure there was no physical contact. In reality, even if she so much as glanced at someone, Abel's expression would darken with anger.It was frustrating. Now, the only person she was allowed to look at was Gerald. Still, what was the point of just looking at Gerald?At that thought, she lifted her gaze to Luca.Luca added, “I’ll give you five minutes. If you refuse treatment after that, I’ll take the medicine back to Mr. Shanks and won’t try to convince you again.”Hera's heart tightened. She did not even need five minutes. She had made her decision within 30 seconds.“I’

    “If Abel finds out that Hera's body isn't suitable for organ donation to Kassy, what do you think he'll do?” asked Shanks.He already knew the answer, but he still wanted to hear Luca’s thoughts.“He has invested a lot of time and money in Hera. If he gets nothing out of it, he won’t let her off easily,” Luca said bluntly.Luca and Shanks were on the same page.They did not have a good relationship with Hera, but they had no intention of ruining her either.Hera’s personality was unpleasant, but that was not enough for them to hate her so much that they wanted to see her suffer.“What methods do you think he’ll use?” Shanks asked again.Luca was silent for a long moment.Shanks already knew the answer, yet he still wanted her to say it out loud.After thinking it over, she finally said, “There are plenty of ways he could go about it, but no matter what he chooses, Hera’s fate is sealed. She’s as good as dead…”She lowered her gaze, her tone firm and certain.Shanks nodded.

    Hera heard that Luca had returned and immediately went to find Shanks. She narrowed her eyes.That woman went to see Shanks. Could she be talking about her?The thought made Hera uneasy. She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong with her medical report.However, when they left the medical center earlier, Abel asked Luca when the report would be ready, and she said it would be available tomorrow.Hera turned to Gerald and said, “Take these back for me first.”“Alright.” Gerald carried the bags as he walked away. He could not help but wonder what exactly Hera bought. These bags were really heavy!Only after Gerald went upstairs did Hera slowly make her way up as well. Her room was on the third floor, but she stopped when she reached the second floor. She glanced around to make sure no one was watching before heading toward the laboratory.The door was closed.Instead of knocking, Hera pressed her ear against it, trying to eavesdrop.However, the laboratory was special
