Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3241 A Leopard Doesn't Change Its Spots

Luca looked a bit awkward. "Mr. Norton..."

Vivian's expression changed too. She felt wronged inside but showed anger on the outside.

Was Gordan for real?

He was always criticizing her.

Even though Luca got kidnapped because of her, Vivian did not want it to happen either.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

What a petty guy!

"I'm not wrong, am I, Dr. Craw? With your skills, taking down those punks would've been easy. If you didn't have to worry about someone, you wouldn't have gotten kidnapped, right?" added Gordan. He gave a pointed look at Vivian.

Vivian's face turned red then pale.

Luca let out a sigh and replied, "Enough, Mr. Norton. The one at fault here is Madam Mallory, not anyone else. You should cut down on smoking. It's getting late, and we need to go." Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

"Why do you care about him?" Vivian grabbed Luca's hand. "A leopard doesn't change its spots. Don't expect him to!"

Gordan's expression darkened.

Vivian sure was something. Her words were getting harsher each time. She was even mastering some of the most biting phrases in English!

"Vivian!" Gordan's anger was barely contained.

Before he could say more, a voice interrupted, "Mr. Norton, there you are!"

The nurse, Sunny, came running over.

Gordan hid his anger and put on a roguish smile. "What's up?"

Sunny noticed the cigarette in his hand and heaved a sigh. "Why are you smoking again? Didn't you promise me you wouldn't smoke until you were better?"

"I'm just lighting it up for the smell. I'm not really smoking. That doesn't count as breaking the promise, does it?" replied Gordan.

Vivian, watching Gordan talking to the nurse, felt a pang of jealousy but could not help blurting out, "He's a liar. He was smoking just now."

Sunny was surprised when she turned to look at Vivian but quickly noticed Luca beside her. Her expression changed.

Sunny vividly remembered the close relationship between Luke and Luca. The moment she saw Luca, she recognized her immediately.

The moment their gazes met each other, Luca nodded.

Sunny returned a slightly uneasy smile before turning around to lecture Gordan, "Mr. Norton, if you want to be discharged early, you shouldn't smoke. I don't even know where you got those cigarettes. They're harmful."

"You don't understand. These are good cigarettes. Alright, stop nagging. I won't smoke." Gordan walked to the trash can and threw the cigarette away.

Then, he turned to Sunny and said, "Let's go."

Sunny's face reddened as she quickly followed behind him.

Vivian felt a wave of discomfort as she watched them leave together.

"Are you okay?" Luca asked with concem.

Vivian deliberately put on a surprised look on her face. "I'm perfectly fine. Why do you ask?"

"Doesn't your hand hurt?" Luca continued to ask.

Vivian shook her head. "No, it doesn't."

"Doesn't your heart hurt?" Luca pressed.

Vivian paused for a few seconds before shaking her head again. "No, it doesn't."

Luca replied helplessly, "Don't worry, he doesn't like that nurse."

"How do you know?" Vivian could not help but ask curiously.

"He's just using the nurse to get to you. Besides, the nurse isn't interested in him either," explained Luca.

Vivian's heart skipped a beat. "Why do you say that?"

"She's interested in Luke," answered Luca as she took Vivian's left hand and led her toward the hospital entrance. "She's just being nice to Mr. Norton to please Luke."

Vivian was taken aback for a moment, but she still felt a pang of jealousy. "The nurse might not like him, but he could be interested in her!"

"I don't think so." Luca shook her head.

*Luca, why are you always speaking up for him?" Vivian was even more puzzled.

"I'm not. I'm just stating the facts. He acts the same with every woman. If that means he's interested, then Mr. Norton would be a total player, right?"

Vivian knew what a "player" meant. She had joined the university's book club, and her classmates had explained some of these English expressions to her.

*He is a player," mumbled Vivian.

Luca put on a faint smile but said nothing more.

The two of them reached the hospital entrance.

Warren was already waiting there. After they got into the car, Warren drove them toward Capital University.

Vivian, remembering how she had given the Mallory family an opportunity, could not help but apologize, "Mr. Warren, I'm sorry."

Warren was surprised but replied while driving, "Ms. Vivian, you don't need to apologize."

Vivian said, "If I hadn't held Luca back... If Luke blames you, you should put the blame on me. It's my fault."

*Boss said this was unavoidable. Even without you, Ms. Craw would've faced this situation. Besides, you took a hit for her. Mr. Crawford isn't blaming anyone. He's grateful to you." Warren had already explained everything to

Luke.

Luke was a reasonable person.

Warren was supposed to drive after them while they rode their bikes.

However, Luca and Vivian had not told him, so he thought they were still at the restaurant.

"Don't worry, it's fine," said Luca, knowing that Vivian was worried her mistake would affect others' work.

Still, Luke was reasonable.

Even though he rarely showed it when it came to her, fortunately, this incident had not turned into a disaster. Luke probably would not blame Warren.

*I still think I should explain it to Mr. Crawford," said Vivian.

Luca nodded, not stopping her. "Okay."

"Let's talk when we get back to the university," suggested Vivian.

Warren drove them back to the campus, and Luca went to the faculty office.

Several senior professors were still there. When they saw Luca, they eagerly surrounded her. "Dr. Craw, are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine." Luca smiled and shook her head. Even though these old professors were dedicated to academics, they could be quite endearing at times, like now.

"It's good you're not hurt. What happened? Someone actually kidnapped you!" Another professor gossiped.

Luca felt helpless. They were not only endearing but also gossipy.

She gained a new perspective on these old men.

"I don't know. By the way, my class this afternoon..." Luca looked at the professors.

*Oh, Dr. Linwood took over your class after hearing you were kidnapped," replied one of the professors while

pointing at another professor.

Dr. Linwood had reluctantly covered the class.

Luca thanked Dr. Linwood. "Thank you, Dr. Linwood."

"Don't mention it. But you should take over now. Since you started teaching, the students have been complaining that my lectures aren't engaging or clear enough. They all want you back," replied Dr. Linwood with a cheerful laugh, showing no hard feelings about the students' preference.

The old man had an open mind. This was not his area of expertise, so he could only teach straight from the book.
