Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 3443

“If Abel finds out that Hera's body isn't suitable for organ donation to Kassy, what do you think he'll do?” asked Shanks.

He already knew the answer, but he still wanted to hear Luca’s thoughts.

“He has invested a lot of time and money in Hera. If he gets nothing out of it, he won’t let her off easily,” Luca said bluntly.

Luca and Shanks were on the same page.

They did not have a good relationship with Hera, but they had no intention of ruining her either.

Hera’s personality was unpleasant, but that was not enough for them to hate her so much that they wanted to see her suffer.

“What methods do you think he’ll use?” Shanks asked again.

Luca was silent for a long moment.

Shanks already knew the answer, yet he still wanted her to say it out loud.

After thinking it over, she finally said, “There are plenty of ways he could go about it, but no matter what he chooses, Hera’s fate is sealed. She’s as good as dead…”

She lowered her gaze, her tone firm and certain.

Shanks nodded.

“If her condition had been suitable for the transplant, she might not have died. At worst, she’d be left disabled,” continued Luca.

Shanks nodded again.

“But whether it’s death or disability, Hera won’t accept it. She values her appearance too much. If she ends up disabled or marred, she’d probably rather be dead,” added Luca.

Once again, Shanks nodded.

He agreed with everything she said.

Abel would have no problem turning an innocent person into something unrecognizable for Kassy’s sake.

Then, out of nowhere, Shanks asked, “Is your husband planning something?”

Luca’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up, forcing herself to appear calm as she met his gaze.

Had he figured something out?

However, Shanks’ expression remained unreadable. There was nothing in his eyes that gave him away.

Luca shook her head. “What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing in particular. I just don’t want to see another innocent life destroyed,” Shanks replied calmly. Then, he opened a cabinet filled with medication and began preparing a solution.

"You don’t support it either, do you?" Luca asked in a soft voice.

Shanks responded flatly, “Even if I don’t support it, I can’t always stop Abel’s decisions.”

He pulled out a vial of medicine.

Luca frowned at the sight.

“Unless someone stronger steps in to stop him.” Shanks stared at her thoughtfully.

Luca’s heart pounded with anxiety. Could it be that Shanks really know something? If he did, he would definitely tell Abel.

In that case, their plan…

She clasped her hands behind her back, trying to conceal their slight tremble.

Shanks finished preparing the vial of medicine and added, “For now, don’t tell Abel about that woman’s condition. We’ll take it one step at a time.”

Luca swallowed hard and nodded. “Okay.”

“As for her health, we’ll help her recover first. What happens next will be up to fate,” added Shanks.

“Understood.” Luca followed his lead.

As long as Shanks did not report Hera’s condition to Abel, she would be safe—at least for now.

Abel was a businessman, but he was also a ruthless killer. He would not be able to understand those medical reports on his own.

Of course, if he became suspicious and had another doctor review Hera’s test results, there would not be much they could do.

Ignoring her, Luca set the tray aside and said, “I’ve been keeping something from you.”

Hera froze for a moment. “What is it?”

Luca turned around and glanced toward the doorway. “Leave us.”

“Am I not allowed to listen?” Gerald was startled for a moment. He thought he and Luca were on good enough terms that he should be allowed to hear everything.

“These aren’t things you can just listen to. Go downstairs.” Luca’s voice was stern.

Gerald scratched his nose but soon left, shutting the door behind him.

Luca opened the door again to make sure he was really gone before closing it and walking over to Hera. “Your test results are partially in.”

“So what?” Hera’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of the test results.

“You put up such a fight about getting a check-up, acting out in every possible way. Was it because you already felt something was wrong? Did you think that if you avoided the tests, the problem wouldn’t exist?” Luca exposed her mindset without hesitation.

Hera’s chest tightened. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“You have severe inflammation in your body, and I’m sure you’ve been feeling the warning signs. But instead of dealing with it, you kept brushing it off, thinking it would just go away. If you leave it untreated, it’s only going to get worse. Mr. Shanks prescribed this injection and medications based on your test results. Whether you take them or not, it’s up to you.”

Hera was silent for a long time.

“How do I know you’re not lying to me?” She was still skeptical.

Would Luca really be this kind to her?

After all the times she had gone against Luca, it did not make sense for her to suddenly care.

Luca replied calmly, “If I had prepared these myself, I’d understand your suspicion. These were prescribed by Mr. Shanks. There’s no reason to doubt him. He has no personal stake in this. I’ve said my piece. Believe it or not, that’s on you. I’ll give you five minutes to decide whether or not you’ll accept the treatment.”

Then, she checked her phone.

Hera scoffed. “I don’t need five minutes. I’ll give you my answer right now.”

Seeing the defiant look on her face, Luca added one final reminder, “Ms. Sanchez, just so you know, Abel doesn’t like sickly women. If he finds out how bad your health is, he won’t keep you around.”
