Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle
Chapter 2742 Cherished Her With All His Heart

Luke helped Luca to dress her wound without saying anything.

Louis turned to Luca and asked for confirmation, "Dr. Craw, is it true?"

"Yes." Luca looked down. Louis was Susan's son. Luca showed him respect and chose not to report it to the police. Still, she felt that Louis deserved to know the truth.

"Louis," Luke called out to him.

"Brother, we have to call the police," said Louis. He could not be bothered that Susan was involved in this.

Louis felt guilty about the incident earlier, and with the situation Luca was in now, there was no way he could ignore it. He felt that he had to give Luca an explanation.

"Not now," replied Luke. Considering the numerous guests who came, it would make Louis and the Crawford family look bad if the police came.

"I'll feel bad if I don't hand this over to the police,” said Louis, insisting on it.

Susan and her friends actually embarrassed Luca on such an occasion. Luca was on Luke's side. There was no doubt that she was slapping Luke's face.

There was no way Louis could tolerate this.

“Is your phone connected to the villa's surveillance system?" asked Luke.

"Yes. Why?" Louis picked up his phone and opened the app. He had the monitoring software installed on his phone when he asked someone to install the surveillance cameras outside the villa. "Send me the surveillance footage of the camera that's recording the pavilion in the backyard,” instructed Luke.

Louis immediately understood that it was not that Luke was letting it slide. Instead, he was planning to investigate the matter after this.

Louis found the surveillance footage and fast-forwarded it to the part where Mrs. Jackman threw the teapot at Luca. He pursed his lips and saved the footage. Then, he sent it to Luke and said, "Luke, I've sent the footage to you.”

"Alright." Luke was still carefully applying the burn ointment to Luca's wound. "Does it hurt?" asked Luke.

"No. It's just a minor burn,” replied Luca as she shook her head.

No matter how painful it was, looking at the way Luke dressed her wound carefully made the pain disappear.

"Did the tea splash on any other parts of your body?" Luke asked while holding a cotton swab in one hand and ointment in the other.

"No. I managed to dodge and only got some minor burns.” Luca shook her head, assuring him that she was fine.

It was just a minor injury. It would heal once the ointment was applied

"Okay." Luke put the cap back onto the burn ointment. Then, he put it back in the first aid kit. He turned to Louis and said, "Thank you.”

"Luke, you don't have to say that..." Louis felt helpless. He invited Luca over to the housewarming party, but Susan deliberately made things difficult for her. Her wealthy friends slandered her too. He felt bad for her, so he apologized, "I should be the one apologizing. Dr. Craw, I'm sorry for putting you through this.”

"Mr. Louis, you have nothing to do with this. You don't have to apologize.” Luca heaved a sigh and rose to her feet. How could she blame Louis?

This had nothing to do with Louis. That was why he did not have to apologize to her.

Moreover, even though Susan was his mother, she was also an adult who should be responsible for her actions. Susan should apologize to Luca.

Louis nodded and tried to put on a polite smile, but he could not force one out.

Luke looked at him and thought that even though Susan was not as much of a troublemaker as Allison, she had recently been getting more and more difficult to deal with.

If it were not for Susan demanding the set of limited edition jewelry, she would not have attended the party today and Louis would not have spent a fortune buying that set of jewelry.

Although Luke helped Louis to settle it, Louis returned most of the money to him.

As a result, the housewarming party that was initially meant to be grand turned into a small gathering of relatives and friends due to his funding issues.

“Louis, I'm not calling the police. Not now,” said Luke.

“When do you plan to report it?” asked Louis. He secretly supported Luke to call the police.

After all, Luca was injured.

Even though he had no idea why Luke would choose Luca, he could tell that Luke cherished her with all his heart like how he treated Bianca back then.

Luke turned and glanced at the door. The noises and chattering of the guests outside could still be heard. The party was still going on. He had no intention of making a scene. "Let's wait until the party is over," said Luke.

"Okay." Louis agreed with him. Then, he added, "But my surveillance footage has no sound.”

"The video itself is enough,” replied Luke. Even though Susan defamed Luca, he had no intention of looking into it.

After all, they were a family. There were some things that were better left unsaid. Therefore, he planned to make an example out of Susan.

Even though Luca had been unfairly treated, the only way to deal with the matter was to let Mrs. Jackman remind Susan that Luca was off-limits to her.

"Aren't you going to sue her for defamation?" asked Louis. He had seen from the surveillance footage that Mrs. Jackman threw a teapot at Luca, while Susan had done nothing.

She did not stop Mrs. Jackman or help her to throw the teapot.

Hence, there was no sound recorded in the surveillance footage. Even if Luke called the police, there was nothing he could do to Susan.

"Do you really want to see her getting punished?" Luke turned to look at him and frowned

Louis smiled bitterly. He finally understood why Old Master Crawford insisted on having Susan move out of Crawford Manor. It was because she kept making trouble.

"It'd be great if she could stop causing trouble after getting punished.

“Things won't get too ugly,” replied Louis. Luke knew what he had in mind. "Please help me bring Lanie and the kids inside," said Luke.

"Sure. Give me a minute." Louis walked out of the house.

"Why are you asking the kids to come in?" asked Luca, feeling puzzled.

"We'll leave through the back door," said Luke. He was not in the mood to entertain those who wanted to strike up a conversation with him after what happened.

He wanted to take Luca away from here.

"Okay." Luca smiled and nodded.

After a while, Louis walked into the house together with the three kids.

Lanie was the first to catch a whiff of the ointment smell in the air. He asked, "Uncle Louis, why does it smell like ointment here?"

"Are you a super smeller?” Louis was surprised as he looked at Blanche then he turned to look at Luke.

"He's always been like this," explained Luke. Lanie had a keen sense of smell, while Rainie had sensitive hearing. "Something happened, and we're going home now."

"Is Ms. Luca hurt?" Rainie asked with concern.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious.” Luca walked toward Rainie and held her hands. "I'm okay. Don't worry about me.”

Luke felt slightly helpless as he watched Luca let go of his hand and went to hold the children’s hands. However, he could not show his jealousy, especially when she was holding their children.

He turned to look at Louis, "I'm leaving through the back door.”

"But there are so many people waiting for you out there.” Louis was surprised when he heard that. Those people even asked him where Luke was a moment ago.
