Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 231

When the two adults arrived at the apartment, Bianca went to the children's rooms to check on them.

Lanie and Rainie were sleeping soundly, though the boy kicked away his blanket as usual. Bianca took the blanket on the floor and carefully tucked him in.

The children's beds could not fit another adult. Bianca had no choice but to sleep together with Luke.

When she lay on the bed and was about to fall asleep, Luke was still busy working in the study.

Bianca had heard from Jason that Luke would usually lose track of time whenever he got busy. Sometimes, the boss would even neglect his health.

With the development project going underway in the small town, he became busier. The boss had to handle stacks of work every day.

Looking at how he exerted himself at work and on the bed, he was really neglecting his health…

…

The next morning.

Marie's fever finally subsided.

"Are you done yet, Mom?" Marie stood at the entrance anxiously with a handbag slung over her shoulder.

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" In front of the mirror, Jennifer put on lipstick and checked on her mascara again.

When Jennifer came to the doorway to put on her shoes, Marie said, "I don't know if bringing you along is the right decision."

"Why wouldn't it be?" Jennifer said unhappily.

Marie looked at Jennifer's ghastly face. "You don't have to put on make-up if you don't know how to. You'll be a big embarrassment!"

"What's wrong with my face? I think it looks good." Jennifer touched her face embarrassedly and looked at herself in the pocket mirror.

Marie did not want to say anything. She turned around and left.

Jennifer quickly followed behind.

At the hospital.

When Jennifer and Marie arrived on the floor Kevin was in and stepped out of the elevator, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

They thought that some VIP was staying in the hospital. Guards were stationed throughout the corridor.

"Who are you, and who are you looking for?" A casually-dressed middle-aged man in his forties approached Jennifer, who was snooping around.

Marie stepped forward and answered politely, "Hello, is Kevin Rayne on this floor?"

The man continued to look at Marie and Jennifer doubtfully.

To treat his cancer, Kevin had undergone many chemotherapy sessions. Unfortunately, it brought along many side effects.

Kevin was having a fever since the morning, and fits of dry coughs would occasionally seize him…

He was coughing agonizingly on the bed. Jennifer, his wife, did not attempt to comfort him but instead spoke faster as though she was worried that he died before she got what she wanted. "You should know very well that Bianca found a rich man. We don't mind if you've been keeping that from us. After all, Bianca and I don't see each other eye to eye, and I don't intend to ask her for anything. Marie is going to marry soon, and I'd like to discuss with you if you could sell our house so that Marie can use the money for her wedding."

Kevin did not listen to what Jennifer said. He coughed harder, and his frail body arched up. His breathing sounded like a broken trumpet.

Jennifer frowned. She stood from her chair and spoke louder, "Do you hear me, Kevin Rayne? I'm not asking a lot from you, just a house for our Marie. Bianca found herself a rich man to take care of your medical treatment. Doesn't matter if she's just going to be a sugar baby or the man's legal wife, she's already made it. It's not too much if you give the house to Marie, right?"

Marie stood by the bedside, watching Kevin cough his lungs out. His sickly complexion turned dark red, and his lips turned blue.

'Don't die just like that!' Marie thought.

She walked over and said, "Uncle Kevin, are you coughing because you're angry about what my mom said? It's not like you're happy that my mom made a good suggestion, right?"

Jennifer quickly stepped in and interjected. She was worried that her daughter might misspeak and make the situation worse.

In all their years together, Kevin would always grant her whatever she desired, as long as she was persistent…

Marie shoved her mother away and looked at Kevin unpleasantly. "I'm not going to talk too much, Uncle Kevin. I only want the house. It's either you give me the house now, or I'll expose all of Bianca's scandals. If you can't get out of bed, then I'll teach that filthy daughter of yours on your behalf…"
