Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 1459

The mansion belonged to Percy, and she was only an outsider. Once their illicit relationship was over, what right did she have to remain there?

Moreover, she was emotionally unstable now. She was afraid that she might confront Percy if she went back, and she would only be humiliating herself.

Luca knew the reasons why Nina was unwilling to go back. She nodded and said, "Alright, let's go together. I don't think I have the courage to face that family myself."

Nina looked at her, feeling slightly confused. "It's not like you wanted it to happen. To be fair to you, you didn't kill the security guard. You have nothing to be guilty about."

Luca laughed dryly. There were so many things that Nina did not know…

"Yes, I didn't kill the security guard, but the thief wouldn't have gotten into my apartment if I had better locks," she said while inputting the address into the navigation app.

"Nobody wanted that to happen," Nina said.

Luca nodded, started the car, and drove toward the security guard's house.

It had been a few years since she last took the wheel, so she drove very slowly. Nina did not rush her.

Their minds were occupied with different things, so neither said anything throughout the drive.

Half an hour later, Luca parked the car at the side of the road. According to the navigation app, the security guard's house was at the end of the narrow alley.

"Are we here?" Nina asked.

"This should be the place." Luca looked out of the window and did not see any road signs.

Nina nodded, unfastened her seatbelt, and stepped out of the car.

Luca also stepped out of the car. She handed the car keys to Nina, took out the bag of supplements from the trunk, and wore her backpack.

"I'll go with you," Nina said.

Luca did not stop her. She thought that Nina needed something to distract her.

The two women walked down the alley and found the house. There was no wake because the security guard's body was still with the forensics police.

Luca knocked on the wooden door. "Is anyone home?"

A while later, a middle-aged woman came to open the door. Her eyes were bloodshot. "How can I help you?" She said.

"Um, can we talk after we go in?" Luca said while lifting the bag in her hand.

The middle-aged woman could see that the two women were not bad people. She nodded and opened the door fully.

"Come in."

Luca and Nina went inside.

The middle-aged woman became even more reluctant to take the money when she heard that Luca was the apartment owner. She shook her head and said, "No, it's all my husband's fault. If he had been more careful, he wouldn't have dirtied your apartment. Even if you don't mind it, I still can't take your money."

Luca sighed and said, "I have medical research data worth millions in my apartment, and your husband sacrificed his life to protect my research. The money here is but a fraction of what he saved me. Please take it."

"Please do. The money will help your family. Even if you don't take the money now, we'll still find some way to make sure that the money goes to you," Nina said.

Finally, the middle-aged woman was persuaded to take the money.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she placed the money in the middle-aged woman's hands. They left after that, not intending to linger there.

She felt a little better after leaving the house. Even though there was only so much she could do, she was satisfied that she was able to help them a little.

Before she would go back to the Island of Despair, she would be keeping an eye on the family's situation.

"Thank you for helping me. I wouldn't have been able to convince her so easily otherwise," Luca said.

"Don't mention it. The money is yours, and all I did was only say a few words. I feel so sorry for them though, the furniture inside is already peeling…" Nina sighed. "I haven't been in such places for a long time. If not for today, I wouldn't have expected that slums still exist in A City."

She had been pampered by Percy for so long, she forgot that some people were still struggling to survive.

Nina imagined the future where she would have to support her family without Percy's help. That made her become afraid.
