Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3445 It's Gross

"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 bring Vivian over to see Luca.

Apparently, after returning to Russia, she had developed some medical issues, but none of the hospitals there could figure out what was wrong. Hence, they were coming to A City to seek out Luca.

He believed in her medical skills and that she could diagnose the problem.

"And what about Russia?" Gordan's frown deepened. He remembered that the entire operation in Russia was orchestrated by Ray himself.

If he left for A City, would that not leave their setup in Russia vulnerable?

The base of the Island of Despair was in Russia!

More importantly, Ray's presence in A City would definitely draw attention from the Island of Despair.

Everyone was on edge now. One wrong move could trigger a domino effect, upending all their plans. The Island of Despair would undoubtedly adjust its strategy in response.

No matter who it was, the best move right now is to stay put.

"Don't worry too much. Ray discussed it with the boss before coming. Plus, his arrival has an advantage-it'll throw the people from the Island of Despair off," explained Gale.

"She's a walking disaster." A shadow of gloom flickered in Gordan's eyes. "That woman has spent her entire life being a burden to others!"

Gale knew exactly what kind of resentment Gordan carried with him, so he let it slide without comment.

Gordan continued, "Seriously, why didn't the boss discuss such an important matter with me beforehand?"

"He knows you can't stand Vivian, so he spared you the headache," explained Gale, " Besides, even if you oppose it, you can't stop Ray. Your opposition doesn't really matter. Whether the boss tells you or not, the outcome would be the same."

"It's the same shitty outcome either way," Gordan could not help but curse. "So why even tell me now?"

"It's because Ray will be here tomorrow or the day after. At least you have a little heads-up and enough time to run for it." Gale put on a sly grin.

Annoyed, Gordan flicked his cigarette away.noveldrama

Gale did not take it personally. He figured Gordan was just in a bad mood at the thought of running into Vivian.

"Anyway, that's all I had to say. I'm heading upstairs. My darling is waiting for me to text her back."

"Ugh, stop being so gross," Gordan scoffed at Gale.

Gale just laughed heartily and headed upstairs, leaving Gordan alone in the living room.

Sitting there, he replayed Gale's words in his mind, his brows furrowing even tighter.

Why was Ray bringing Vivian to A City? What was going on?

Had she not just returned to Russia?

Now, they wanted Luca's help? Luca was still at the base. Could she even leave? Asking her to help...

"Vivian is such a pain in the ass." As Gordan muttered, a wave of annoyance filled his chest, but there was also another emotion lurking beneath the surface. It was one he could not quite put a name to.

It was not just frustration.

However, he could not figure it out at the moment.

He reached under the coffee table and pulled out a blueprint. It was the structural layout of the Island of Despair.

Work was the only thing that could take his mind off all this irritation.

With that thought, Gordan focused even harder, studying every inch of the design.

Luca woke up the following day, picked up her phone, and glanced at it. She saw a message from the medical center.

Hera's health report had arrived.

She opened the file and scanned it carefully, her brows knitting together.

Yesterday's preliminary results had already indicated that Hera's condition was bad, but

now, with the full report in hand, it was even worse than expected.

Many people suffered from poor health due to work stress, late nights, and endless social engagements these days. A lot of people's health was subpar, so having a few health issues was pretty normal.

Nonetheless, Hera's condition was beyond just a few issues.

Externally, she still looked youthful, but inside, her organs were deteriorating like those of

an elderly woman.

Luca quickly freshened up, grabbed her phone, and headed to the lab.

"Her report is out?" Shanks asked as soon as she walked in.

"Yes. And it's bad." Luca handed him her phone.

Shanks read through the report carefully, then frowned deeply. "What the hell has she been doing to her body all these years?"

Luca felt helpless. If even Shanks, who had seen all kinds of medical cases, reacted like this,

it meant Hera's condition was truly dire.

"Mr. Shanks, do you still plan on treating her?" asked Luca.

If she needed treatment, Shanks could take care of it. However, her condition definitely

required a lot of medication.

Handing the phone back to her, Shanks replied, "Tell her to come see me."

"Okay." Luca took the phone and left the lab.

She walked to Hera's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Figuring Hera had probably stayed up late again and was still asleep, Luca knocked a few

more times.

At first, her knocks were rhythmic. However, she was worried that Hera was in too deep of a

sleep, so she increased the force and disrupted the pattern.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, an irritated voice came from inside.

"Who the hell is it? It's early in the morning. Let a person sleep! Are you trying to get

yourself killed?!"

Luca remained silent and continued knocking.

A minute later, the door was yanked open.

Hera stood there, her face twisted in irritation. "Are you out of your mind, knocking like this

first thing in the morning?!"

"Your medical report is out," Luca stated calmly.

Hera's heart clenched for a moment. She darted a glance around the hallway, and when she

saw no one, she grabbed Luca's wrist and pulled her into the room, shutting the door behind

them.

"Is there something wrong with my report?" Hera asked anxiously.

Just as Luca had pointed out yesterday, her body had been sending warning signals for a

while now. However, she had always ignored them.

She was just avoiding the truth, convincing herself that being young meant there could not be anything serious, so she kept putting off going to the doctor.

Whenever she felt unwell, she thought a few days of rest would fix it. Yet over time, she could not deny that her body was not what it used to be. More often than not, she found

herself struggling, her energy slipping away like sand through her fingers. Even so, she had never seriously considered seeking treatment. Yesterday, after getting the IV drip and taking the medicine Shanks prescribed, she felt much better. She had even slept more soundly than she had in weeks. Hera knew it was the medicine taking effect, and she intended to continue treatment. However, with Luca showing up at her door because of her test results, a wave of unease crept up her spine.
