Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 1423

Talia's despair grew as Luca said those words.

She only felt regret as she looked at Luca's frigid expression. She regretted what she did just so that she could placate her envy and satisfy Cole's ambition.

"I can explain, Dr. Craw," Talia still tried to get on Luca's good side.

Luca took a step back and stared at Talia coldly. "There's no need for explanation, Talia."

Talia opened her mouth but said nothing. Seeing that Luca had no intention of helping her, her despair slowly turned into resentment.

"No matter what your decision might be, you're not going to get out of this scot-free. In any case, it's better to own up before the other people find out what you did. Your body is weak now, and you need nutrition. I can only wish you good luck in your future." After Luca said that, she turned around and left the room.

In the corridor, she met Mrs. Sullivan, who had returned from the cafeteria with some food.

"Are you leaving already, Ms. Craw?" Mrs. Sullivan said eagerly, thinking that she was her daughter's savior.

After all, Luca was the only person who visited Talia without causing trouble. Moreover, she had brought gifts.

Luca nodded and said, "Yes."

Mrs. Sullivan did not know what happened in the room. She tried to ask Luca to stay. "Why are you going away so soon? I've bought some extra food for you. I hope that you can stay and have a meal with us. Talia has been through a lot in the past few days, and we're glad that you're here for us."

Luca guessed that Mrs. Sullivan would not treat her like that if she found out what Luca said to Talia in the room.

"It's fine. I have somewhere else to go," Luca said and went toward the elevator lobby.

Mrs. Sullivan tried to ask her again to stay so that Luca would have a good impression of them, but when she turned her head to look toward the elevator lobby, she saw several people walking in her direction. She quickly turned around, covered her face, and briskly walked back into the room.

After hastily going into the room and shutting the door, she tried to look outside through the peephole.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Talia was nervous when she saw her mother's behavior. She forgot to wipe away the tears in her eyes.

"Shh, keep quiet. I saw those people outside," Mrs. Sullivan said while putting a finger in front of her lips. She rushed to the window and drew the curtains.

Talia was immediately nervous. "They didn't see you, right?" She whispered.

"No, no. I'm smart enough to evade their attention," Mrs. Sullivan shook her head and said. She put the lunch boxes on the bedside cabinet and noticed that Talia's eyes were bloodshot. "What happened? Did you cry again? The doctor said that you have to control your emotions. If you cry too much, that'll affect your eyesight."

Talia dared not bawl out loud, so she could only let out stifled sobs while tears continued to flow.

Talia's mother handed her a lunch box and asked her, "How was the talk with Ms. Craw earlier?"

When Luca's name was mentioned, Talia clenched her fists hatefully.

Mrs. Sullivan noticed the change in her daughter's expression. She asked her, "What happened? Did you accidentally offend her?"

Talia gritted her teeth. "She's not a good person, Mom. She never wanted to help me in the first place, and she's only here to laugh at me. I've already admitted my fault, but she doesn't want to help me. I don't think anyone else can help me."

"How is that possible? Didn't she say that she'll help you? Did you say something wrong?" Mrs. Sullivan could not believe it.

Talia did not want her mother to think that Luca was a good person. She growled, "Don't be so naïve, Mom. She's sleeping with the big boss, and she's not going to help me. She even thinks that I'm standing in her way. She doesn't believe that Cole Kidman had planned everything."

Mrs. Sullivan stood there, stunned. She did not know what Talia had done at Watson.

"I'll leave the rest to you and Mr. Crawford then," Luca said and ended the call.

She knew that Jason and his subordinates were very efficient at their job. They had already found the culprit but kept it under wraps because Talia was in the hospital, and they did not want to exacerbate her condition.

Jason was impartial, but he was considerate.

Luca did not say anything much to him because she knew that she could trust him.

She also guessed that Talia would own up to her deeds because she had nowhere else to run.

Of course, she would take Cole down with her too. She was a vengeful person like that.

Luca could tell that something major would happen in Watson come next Monday.

She was not nosy, but she was angry that Cole had sabotaged her research.

She would be glad to see what would happen to Cole, if not that she and her research team had moved to T Corporation.

She thought that it was a pity.

Luca put the presents away, sat down on the couch, and took out her phone. The news app on her phone recommended a story about Luke and Tia.

Even though the two people had issued their statements, the general public did not believe them.

Luca did not believe them either.
