Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle
Chapter 3059 She Understands Marie Well

"Luca, just wait and see!" At this moment, Marie knew that threatening Luca would be futile no matter how she went about it. After she failed to threaten Luca, she stomped her foot and walked away from the hospital entrance.

Luca shook his head and reminded her, "You still need to see a doctor."

Marie recalled that she had to see a doctor for a check-up and get some medicine. Hence, she glared at Luca, turned around, and headed toward the hospital's pharmacy.

Luca did not take Marie's threats seriously.

Marie would not dare to provoke Luke now. Otherwise, she would only get herself in more trouble.

At the thought of how Marie used to have a good life but suddenly ended up in such a situation, Luca sighed emotionally.

After Luca arrived at Lanie's school, she found that he had already finished the competition and was standing at the security booth waiting for her.

Luca quickly parked the car on the side, opened the door, and approached. She noticed that even though Lanie was sheltered under the security booth's shade, beads of sweat had formed on his forehead. The weather was too hot.

She could not help but feel sorry for him, and her resentment toward Marie grew.

If it were not for Marie stopping her from leaving, Lanie would not have had to wait for such a long time. "Lanie, you've been waiting for a long time, huh? Why didn't you wait in the classroom? Look, you're sweating."

Lanie shook his head and replied, "I just came out not long ago."

As Luca looked at the sweat on the child's forehead, she felt sorry for him. However, there was nothing she could do. She quickly pulled him into the car. "Just wait in the classroom next time. I'll come in to find you."

"But parents can't drive into the school, and the schoolyard is very sunny. The school is also big." Lanie had thought about it, which was why he had been standing under the security booth's shade after the end of the competition, waiting for Luca.

He thought Luca would come to pick him up on time, but she was unexpectedly late.

However, Lanie knew she must not have deliberately been late. Perhaps something delayed her.

Luca sat in the driver's seat, listening to Lanie. She paused for a moment, realizing that Lanie did not want her to walk that distance. That was why he waited under the security booth.

This child would rather endure the heat than let her suffer.

A gentle warmth filled the depths of her heart knowing how endearing Lanie was.

She started the car engine and explained, "I'm an adult. Walking a few steps is considered exercise. You're a child, and with the sun this strong, you might still get a heatstroke even if you stand under the shade."

"It's okay. I'm healthy." Lanie shook his head and curiously asked, "Ms. Luca, did something happen to you?"

"Yes. I was going to visit your Grandpa Rayne in the hospital, but I didn't expect to run into someone. She insisted on chatting with me for quite a while. That's why I was late," Luca explained with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Oh, I see." Lanie astutely noticed that Luca did not mention the person's name, so he decided not to ask further. Instead, he asked, "Is Grandpa Rayne feeling better now?"

"Much better. He should be able to go home in a little over a week. Would you like to visit him when he's back home?" asked Luca. She knew that Old Man Rayne loved his grandchildren the most. If the kids went to visit him, he would be very happy.

"Okay!" Lanie nodded. He was fond of Old Man Rayne too. When Luca suggested visiting him, he readily agreed.

After all, Old Man Rayne was the one who raised his mother...

If it were not for those reporters writing nonsense lately, they would have visited him in the hospital.

Their father told them that the reporters had been keeping an eye on their family. That was why they could not go to the hospital.

Besides, they had to go to school, and there was not much time after school. Thus, they had not visited him...

After picking up Lanie, Luca went to pick up Rainie and finally went to another school to pick up Tommy.

Since the three kids did not have anything to do in the afternoon, Luca took them out for a meal before bringing them home. It was also the kids' request.

When they arrived home, the kids, accustomed to taking naps, were already yawning.

Luca urged them to go to their bedroom for a nap.

The three kids listened to her and went upstairs for their afternoon rest.

Nina waved at Luca. "Luca, where were you all morning? I didn't see you when I woke up."

"I had some things to deal with. I didn't come back after taking the kids to school," Luca replied with a smile and sat on the couch. "Have you had lunch?"

"Yes. It was quiet on the second floor, and I slept until noon. I skipped breakfast and had lunch," Nina said happily.

"You woke up late. How long did you chat with Mr. Mallory last night?" Luca teased her.

She knew Nina's routine. Even though she liked to stay in bed, she was not the type to sleep until noon. If she woke up that late, it meant she stayed up very late the night before. The only thing that could keep Nina up so late was probably talking to Percy on the phone.

Nina blushed and muttered, "How did you know? Did you install a surveillance camera or something?"

"Come on, I haven't. Just look at those dark circles under your eyes. It's obvious you stayed up late. So I guessed that you talked to Mr. Mallory for a long time before sleeping." "Actually, he's very busy and doesn't have much time for me. The call was ongoing, but we didn't talk. It wasn't noisy on the other side, but I just couldn't fall asleep."

Nina knew she had heavy dark circles. She subconsciously rubbed them.

"You're obviously missing him. You're trying to catch even the slightest movement on the other end of the phone. Being overly focused on capturing the sounds kept you from falling asleep. "Next time you want to drift off, be bold and just hang up the phone," said Luca, gently pressing Nina's swollen face.

"Well, it's not as bad as before. It should go down soon," added Luca.

"Okay, then I won't talk to him tonight. It really messes with my sleep. By the way, what were you dealing with just now? Mind sharing?" Nina gently touched her own face.

It was indeed not as swollen as before, and she became curious about Luca's activities.

However, if Luca said it was not convenient to share with her, she would not press for details.

"I went to the hospital to visit some patients. But I ran into Marie there," explained Luca.

"You bumped into her again? I must say, you two really have some kind of connection. You've met her twice in the same place." Nina could not help but marvel while looking at Luca.

"I guess it wasn't just a simple encounter this time, right?"

"Yes, you got that right. She probably didn't notice me last time, but this time, she saw me and insisted on striking up a conversation." Luca did not mention the part about being threatened by Marie.

"She wanted to chat with you?" Nina exclaimed, finding it hard to believe. "I'd believe it if you said she intentionally threatened you or cursed at you, but chatting... I'm sorry, I just can't imagine that." As Luca listened to her, she could not help but think that Nina sure understood Marie well...
