Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3447 Are You Texting Your Lover

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, she would know exactly where to insert the needles.

"You'll be busy from now on. She needs dry needling treatment every day," added Shanks. "No problem," Luca said indifferently.

"She also needs to take herbal medicine. Find someone to prepare it," continued Shanks, jotting down the prescription on a piece of paper.

Following the prescription, Luca gathered the necessary herbs from another medicine cabinet.

"I'll find someone to brew the herbs." Luca took the wrapped package and left the lab. As soon as she reached the first floor, she spotted Gerald practicing boxing in the living

room.

"Ms. Craw, aren't you making breakfast today?" asked Gerald. He had waited for a long time, but since Luca never came downstairs, he ended up eating instant macaroni instead.

"I don't have time. Hey, you got a minute?" asked Luca.

"Yeah." Gerald nodded.

"Perfect. I need your help." Luca led him into the kitchen. "Do you know how to brew herbs to make medicine?"

"I've never done that before." Gerald frowned. He was not familiar with kitchen-related stuff at all.

"I'll teach you," suggested Luca. He was the only one she could rely on in this small villa. She would not trust the others with this task. They were fine for fighting or causing trouble, and they could even take care of the volunteer if needed. However, preparing herbal medicine was a delicate process. If she left it to them, they would probably waste a ton of it. Gerald did not refuse and instead took out his phone to record her instructions.

"This is kind of complicated. You even have to control the heat carefully." Gerald's brows furrowed.noveldrama

"It'll be much easier once I get an electric herbal cooker." Luca handed him the herb package. "But for now, we'll have to do it the traditional way. Come on, show me what you've learned."

"There's even an assessment for this?" Gerald muttered while playing back the recording of her instructions and following along with the process.

Seeing that he was handling everything fairly well, Luca nodded. "It's easy to burn the herbs since it's your first time brewing them. If you mess it up, just come look for me to get a fresh batch and give it another shot."

"Got it." Gerald could not help but feel curious. "Who's this medicine for? The volunteer? I haven't seen them take herbal medicine before."

"Stop being so nosy. You'll know once it's ready," replied Luca. She was not worried that they would be able to figure out Hera's condition just by looking at the herbs.

Without formal training, it was impossible to identify the prescription based on the herbs alone.

"It's just a pot of herbal medicine. Why all the mystery?" grumbled Gerald.

Just then, Luca's phone vibrated. She glanced at the screen and saw a message from Luke. He told her that Ray was bringing Vivian to X City to see her for treatment. Luca frowned and quickly asked: [What's wrong with Vivian?]

Luke responded almost immediately: [Ray didn't explain over the phone. He just said that something happened after they returned to Russia and that you'd understand once you see her.]

Luca asked: [I need to make arrangements on my end. When are they arriving?]

[Ray got delayed, so they'll be here the day after tomorrow. See if you can make time, but don't push yourself. Your safety comes first.]

Luca replied: [Got it.] Then, she put her phone away.

Gerald smirked and teased, "Ms. Craw, were you texting your lover?"

"If you didn't look the way you do, I'd really suspect you were a woman disguised as a man."

Luca shot him a glare.

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" Gerald asked, confused.

"You're too nosy," replied Luca. "I've met a lot of people, but I've never seen a man as gossipy as you."

"Heh, I wasn't always like this." Gerald chuckled sheepishly. "It's just that I'm bored out of my mind. I'm stuck here all day and can't go out. What else is there to talk about besides

gossip?"

"Stop trying to dig into my business. Just focus on making the medicine. Let me know when it's ready," Luca instructed before heading upstairs.

With Hera needing treatment, her workload had officially doubled.

First, she gave the volunteer his injection and dry needling treatment. Then, she carried the IV drip and needles and walked into Hera's room.

"I haven't had breakfast yet," said Hera.

Luca suddenly remembered and suggested, "Why don't you order takeout? I didn't cook breakfast today either."

"Is it okay to get injections on an empty stomach?" Hera asked while picking up her phone to place an order.

"It's fine." Luca checked her pulse before proceeding with dry needling.

Once she was done, she set up the IV drip. Just as she was adjusting the drip rate, a chilling voice came from outside the door.

"Why are you giving her an IV?" His voice was cold and sinister, sending a shiver down her spine. Hera tensed up instantly, staring at Luca in panic. She was terrified that Luca might

slip up.

Luca remained calm and answered, "This is part of the treatment plan Mr. Shanks

prescribed for her."

"Why does she suddenly need treatment? Did something come up in her medical report?" Abel placed a bag down on the table.

Luca glanced at the takeout bag he brought over but remained unbothered by his interrogation. She shot Hera a look, signaling her not to panic. If Abel sensed anything off,

no one would be able to help her.

"The medical report has already been reviewed by Mr. Shanks. He recommended this regimen to improve Ms. Sanchez's overall health," explained Luca.

"What do you mean?" Abel frowned. His gaze swept over Hera, taking in her pale lips and slightly trembling form. "Why does she look like this?"

"She hasn't eaten breakfast yet, so she's feeling a little hypoglycemic." Luca was impressed with herself. After spending over three years on the Island of Despair, she had mastered the art of lying without blinking. Her nerves were rock solid. No matter how intimidating Abel was, she handled him with absolute composure.

"Is that so?" Abel stepped closer to the bed and looked down at Hera.

Hera blinked her eyes and, in a weak voice, said, "Yes, babe. I overslept today and haven't eaten yet. I feel a little lightheaded from low blood sugar."

"Your constitution is too weak," Abel muttered with a hint of disdain.

A trace of worry flashed across Hera's eyes, which made her look even paler.

Luca was afraid she would crack under pressure, so she quickly spoke up. "Actually, a lot of

women struggle with low blood sugar. Mr. Abel, Mr. Shanks has already reviewed Ms. Sanchez's medical report. Would you like to take a look?"
