Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3368 Only You Can Stop Him

"Huh?" Luca's voice was thick with sleepiness.

"You can't see me in the dark," hinted Luke.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Luca slapped his restless hand away. "I'm tired."

Luke let out a sigh.

Luca knew what he was sighing about, but with the intense experiments earlier that day and having waited so

long just now, she just said, "Stop thinking about it. Go to sleep. I'm really tired."

Besides, this was the base of the Island of Despair.

She was truly scared...

*Good night." Luke had no choice but to endure it. He held her in his arms and closed his eyes.

When Luca woke up the following day, Luke had already left.

She was used to it by now.

Luke had a regular workout routine. Since he did not have to handle work here, he would get up early to train. He even sparred with others at the base. These people had all been trained on the Island of Despair, but none of them could beat Luke.

Every one of them had gotten a few injuries from him.

On the other hand, Luke came out unscathed each time.

Only then did Luca realize just how skilled Luke was.

After getting up and washing up, Luca walked out of her room. She was heading downstairs to make breakfast when Gerald came over. "Ms. Craw."

Luca's gaze was cold. "What is it?"

"I just got a call from the boss. He knows the experiment is successful, so he's coming by this afternoon," replied Gerald.

Luca stopped in her tracks. "Abel is coming?"

"Yes!" Gerald was inexplicably impressed. She dared to speak Abel's name so casually!

What incredible guts.

Luca frowned deeply, uneasy. She could not help but mutter to herself, "How could he come so soon?"

"What?" Gerald did not catch what she said.

"We still haven't figured out the maximum dose. If he comes to check, he'll only be dissatisfied and take it out on us," Luca continued walking downstairs, still frowning.

"But this is a huge breakthrough. We've made someone, who's been paralyzed below the knee for so many years, feel nerve sensations again. I think Mr. Shanks' research is amazing. Do you think I could be his apprentice?" asked Gerald.

Gerald had witnessed the volunteer getting better bit by bit for the past few days. Gerald remembered how he was almost dying and how Shanks saved him without any medical equipment. That made him admire Shanks deeply, and he could not help but feel motivated.

As for his fighting skills, he was no match for the others on the Island of Despair.

Even if he trained now, he did not have the same foundation as others. If he wanted to be as good as them, it

would definitely take a long time.

However, what if he learned medicine from Shanks?

Gerald was confident in himself. After all, if one was serious, there was nothing one could not learn.

Gerald had heard from others at the base that the medical field on the Island of Despair relied entirely on Shanks. He figured that the Island of Despair had to be in great need of doctors, and this thought became even stronger in his mind. If he could also become one of Shanks' right-hand people like Luca, then the organization would not just abandon him.

Luca understood what Gerald was thinking. She did not want to discourage him, but sometimes, the reality was harsh. She decided to tell him the truth.

"Don't even think about it."

"Huh?" Gerald blinked in surprise. "Why not?"

"Mr. Shanks doesn't like dull-witted people. If he teaches you something once and you can't learn it, you won't get another chance to stay by his side as an assistant. Also, he doesn't take apprentices. If you're smart enough, you might be able to stay by him, learn, and assist.

"You needed to practice twice just to learn how to change a needle. Do you have any talent in medicine?" asked Luca.

Gerald dejectedly shook his head.

"I don't," admitted Gerald.

Luca walked downstairs. "So, forget about learning medicine. In other places, you might get by with hard work, but with Mr. Shanks, it's either you have talent or you don't."

*Ms. Craw, were you talented from the beginning?" Gerald was suddenly curious.

After all, everyone in the organization was focused on fighting and killing. Luca was the exception.

Luca paused for a moment, then shook her head. "Not really, but compared to others, I was the best choice for Mr. Shanks' assistant at the time."

Having seen so many people, Luca believed there were only two people truly talented in medicine-Johann and Shanks.

What others called 'talent' was simply the result of hard work.

Back then, the reason Luca could stay by Shanks' side and leam was simply because the people around her were even worse at medicine.

Gerald felt a pang of envy in his heart.

It seemed that Luca had everything in her favor, including the right timing, the right place, and the right people.

If he could be like her, he would not have to worry about being abandoned by Abel.

Although Gerald made a lot of money in the organization, his fear grew every day.

Especially now that he knew Abel was coming to the base, he wished he could crawl into a hole and hide. He did not want to be noticed and assigned any tasks.

Luca went downstairs and prepared breakfast.

When everyone gathered for the meal, Gerald shared the news that Abel was coming in the afternoon.

Each person's reaction was different. Some did not care, while others were nervous.

Luca glanced at Luke, feeling a twinge of anxiety in her chest. However, when she saw him remain calm, she felt

a little more at ease.

If Shanks had not recognized Luke in disguise and if no one else had figured it out even after being around him for so long. Abel probably would not either.

However, if Luke did something to annoy Abel, he might suffer for it.

Luca could not help but worry and thought about finding a moment later to talk to him and give him some advice. Abel was known for his unpredictable moods, and Luca really did not want to see Luke get hurt because of it. Shanks finished his breakfast first, stood up, and said to her, "After you're done eating, head to the lab to help." "Okay." Luca nodded, purposely taking her time to finish last. She then casually made her way upstairs. She gave Luke a meaningful glance. Once he caught it, he followed her upstairs.

"What's wrong?" The two stood on the balcony. She had checked the area beforehand, and there were no surveillance cameras or listening devices, so it was safe to talk.

*Abel's coming. Be careful," wamed Luca. "He's unpredictable at the base. Don't let him get to you. The progress of the experiment is slow, so he'll probably throw a fit today. If you can avoid him, do so."

"Got it." Luke's deep, dark eyes were still intense behind his blue-colored contacts. "You should be careful too."

"I will. Don't worry," Luca reassured him. She then headed to the lab.

She pushed open the door to the lab and walked in.

Before she could get back to her workstation, Shanks spoke up, "Abel will be coming today."

Luca was startled for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."

*Are you prepared?" asked Shanks as he added an unfamiliar liquid into the vial.

Luca let out a sigh. "He's unhappy with the progress of the experiment, isn't he?"

"Yes." Shanks nodded. He had just spoken to Abel about the volunteer's situation yesterday, and he was coming over today. It was obvious he was not pleased.

I actually have something I'm quite worried about. I'm concerned that he might inject the volunteer with a large amount of medication just to see results. Mr. Shanks, if that happens, only you can stop him." Luca thought about the volunteer in the other room.
