Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3240 Dragging Along A Dead Weight

*I think you misunderstood me. If I wanted to leave, I could've done it anytime." Luca rose to her feet. She had not left earlier because there were thugs downstairs, and taking Vivian with her might have resulted in injuries.

Luca was not afraid. She just did not want to get hurt.

If either she or Vivian got injured because of this kidnapping, it would be a mess to deal with.

"You!" Before Karen could finish her sentence, a sharp pain shot through her hand, causing her to drop the knife.

She looked down and saw a thin needle sticking out of her wrist.

"What's this?" Karen screamed and realized that the needle looked familiar.

It looked like the ones that were used for Pierre's dry needling treatment.

Karen glared at Luca furiously. Luca had already pulled Vivian behind her. "It's just a needle. Pull it out, and you'll be fine. Madam Mallory, I'm done playing games with you. I'm definitely going to press charges for today's kidnapping. As for Mr. Pierre, he'd better take care of himself."

*Luca, I'll kill you!" Karen, in a frenzy, grabbed the knife and lunged at Luca.

"Luca, watch out!"

*Dr. Craw, be careful!"

Two voices shouted simultaneously as Luca turned around to see Karen charging at her with the knife.

What a crazy woman!

Luca tried to dodge to the side but was grabbed by someone.

Luca glanced at the person and saw it was Vivian who had grabbed her.

"Vivian!" exclaimed Luca. The next moment, the knife slashed across Vivian's hand.

Vivian had braced herself for the injury, but she still groaned when the knife cut her skin.

At the same time, Gale kicked Karen away.

"Damn it!" Pierre, who was lying in bed, watched helplessly as his mother was kicked. He could not get out of bed to do anything.

Luca's expression darkened as she glanced at Vivian's hand.

The wound did not look too deep, and she realized that if it had not been for Vivian, she might have been the one who got cut.

Her expression turned even grimmer, and her fists clenched tightly.

Karen lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

When Vivian noticed the expression on Luca's face, she feared Luca might do something extreme. Hence, she grabbed her hand and said, "Luca, I'm okay. Let's go to the hospital. Mr. Crawford will handle things here."

"Alright, let's go to the hospital first." Luca glared at Karen and then at Pierre before helping Vivian out.

When they got into Gale's car, Luca took off her jacket and wrapped it around Vivian's hand. "We don't have any bandages now, so this will have to do to stop the bleeding. The wound isn't deep, but it's long. We still need to go to the hospital."

"Okay, I'm fine," Vivian reassured her. It hurt, but it was bearable.

Gale drove toward the hospital, updating Luke on the situation along the way.

When Luke heard that Karen had not only kidnapped Luca but also Vivian and tried to harm Luca, his tone turned icy cold. "Take Ms. Vivian to the hospital first. I'll take care of the rest." Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

"Got it, boss," replied Gale. Then, he stepped on the gas.

Since Vivian's injury was not serious, Luca decided not to go to Johann's hospital and instead chose a private one which was nearer.

The emergency doctor worked quickly, treating Vivian's wound right away.

After paying the bill, Luca was ready to take Vivian back to school.

Just as they walked out of the ER, they saw someone squatting in the hospital garden, smoking a cigarette.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Luca immediately recognized him as Gordan.

She shot a glance at Vivian.

The smile that had been on Vivian's face disappeared.

Luca heaved a sigh, unsure if Gordan had shown up on purpose.

"Do you want to go say hi?" asked Luca.

Vivian, feeling a bit emotional, nodded. "Okay."

Luca was surprised as she had thought that Vivian would refuse.

However, considering Vivian knew about Gordan's injury, she figured Vivian might be worried, so they approached him together.

As they got closer, Vivian wrinkled her nose at the smell of secondhand smoke.

"What are you doing here?" asked Gordan, puffing on his cigarette. He could sense someone was blocking him in front of him and thought one of the annoying nurses had come to scold him. "Can't I smoke in peace?"

Then, he lifted his head. He froze, caught off guard by the sight of Vivian and Luca.

Luca frowned when she saw his bandaged hand.

"Dr. Craw." Gordan looked guilty as though he had just been caught red-handed.

Luca glanced at his cigarette. "How many packs are you planning to smoke today?"

*Just this one cigarette," mumbled Gordan, looking like a mouse in front of a cat.

After all, Luca was Luke's wife. He had to show respect, right?

"He can't quit smoking," Vivian said nonchalantly, Gordan used to smoke a lot, and she doubted he had changed

now.

Gordan was not one to change easily.

He was the same with her. After all these years, there was no change. His disdain was as strong as ever.

Luca slightly furrowed her brows. She considered giving them some privacy, but then she remembered that even though they were not enemies, Vivian's resentment toward Gordan was still strong.

Even though they were not enemies, Gordan was on the verge of becoming Vivian's enemy all on his own.

She decided to stay at the thought of this. She planned to ask Vivian to leave.

However, she still could not bring herself to say it.

Gordan raised an eyebrow, initially ready to scold Vivian for meddling in other's affairs, but when he saw her injured hand, his expression softened into a frown. "How did you get hurt?"

*It's none of your business." Vivian was not planning to tell him.

Gordan's frown deepened as he looked at Luca.

Luca explained, "She got hurt because of me."

"Who would dare do that?!" Gordan's voice had a hint of anger.

Vivian was taken aback for a moment, and her heart skipped a beat.

Realizing how his words might be taken, Gordan quickly added, "I mean, who would dare hurt Luca?"

A hint of disappointment flashed across Vivian's eyes.

How could a man who hated her so much suddenly stand up for her?

Over the years, Gordan had taken plenty of beatings from Ray.

His only focus now was probably revenge on Ray, not concern for her...

Luca shook her head, thinking how awkward Gordan was acting.

*Karen kidnapped me, and since Vivian was with me, she got taken too. She got hurt protecting me." Luca

intentionally left out the severity of Vivian's injury to make Gordan wonder about it.

Just as she expected, after Gordan heard what Luca said, he glanced at Vivian's injured arm.

Sensing his gaze, Vivian quickly hid her hand behind her back.

Gordan's expression darkened. "The Mallory family really have some nerve. Don't worry, Dr. Craw. Boss won't let

them off easy!" Gordon withdrew his gaze, deliberately not looking at Vivian.

Luca nodded. "I know."

*But you were really unlucky," Gordan suddenly said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Luca did not know why he said that.

*If you hadn't been dragging along a dead weight, you wouldn't have gotten hurt by the Mallory family's goons.

Even though I'm stuck here, I know exactly what kind of scum the Mallory family hires."
