Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 2952

Luca could tell what he meant by his words. He wanted her to quickly set a time to attend the class instead of considering whether to take it on.

She was a bit puzzled, wondering why Luke had recruited this person, Evan Turner.

He put on a smiling face and spoke in a gentle tone, but he was a hard man to refuse.

"Dr. Craw?" Noticing that Luca was keeping silent, Evan called her again.

Luca looked at him and asked, "Have we met before, Mr. Turner?"

"I don’t think so," Evan replied without much thought. He added, "But Dr. Craw, you're well-known in the industry. I've heard of you for a long time. Students at Capital University who have the chance to attend your classes will surely benefit greatly."

Luca had not seen anyone lay on the flattery so thick. She realized there was no use in dwelling on it. She rose to her feet and said, "Mr. Turner, I’m going downstairs to continue with my experiments."

"Sure. I hope you can set a time soon," Evan said with a smile and waved her off.

It was as though he was unaffected by Luca's reluctance or rejection. He watched her depart with a smiling face from behind.

Luca was rendered speechless for a moment. After putting on her laboratory coat, she headed to Mo Stone’s office.

"Dr. Craw?" Mo Stone stood up and called out as she approached.

"Ms. Stone, do you know who the manager is?" asked Luca. Mo Stone often interacted with people from other departments, so she might have more information about the company's personnel.

Mo Stone furrowed her brows and asked in a confused tone, “Mr. Turner? I don't..."

"Was he brought in by Mr. Crawford?" questioned Luca.

Mo Stone hesitated for a moment and answered in an uncertain tone, "Probably, but it was actually arranged by T Corporation. I'm not sure if Mr. Crawford personally recruited him. Dr. Craw, is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing. You may continue with your work." Luca glanced at the thick stack of files on Mo Stone's desk. Then, she turned around to leave the assistant's office.

Mo Stone sat back down. As she watched Luca leave from behind, a hint of complexity flashed across her eyes.

She hesitated, wondering if she should try to seize this opportunity.

Perhaps Luca's earlier refusal was just a test for her?

Even though Mo Stone thought it was unlikely, she wanted to give it a try.

Luca returned to the laboratory.

Rhett walked over with a set of fresh data. He handed it to Luca and said, "Dr. Craw, this is the latest data."

As Luca accepted the data from Rhett, she suddenly remembered his resume.

When Rhett expressed his desire to become her assistant, she reviewed his resume.

Luca agreed to have him join her team only after confirming that he was not a slacker.

His resume mentioned that he had worked part-time during college and was an assistant to a professor...

Even though the role of an assistant was different from that of a professor's assistant, it involved assisting a professor.

Luca frowned, trying to recall Rhett's resume. When she thought about him helping a professor with their work, she asked, "Mr. Link, I remember you did part-time work during your college years, right?"

"Yes." Rhett nodded. "I was an assistant to a professor. I helped them organize course materials and documents.”

University professors had their own research to do. Hence, the university would select undergraduates who needed part-time work to assist the professors and reduce their teaching workload.

"Alright, I got it." Luca nodded. She thought that if she was really forced by Evan to teach students, she could have Rhett help her.

She did not enjoy preparing lesson plans, but Rhett could assist with that.

Even though it was just for one semester, the academic year had already started over a month ago. There were only a few months left.

"Dr. Craw, is something wrong?" Rhett did not understand why she was asking him this.

He mentioned these experiences on his resume because he was applying for the assistant position at that time. Having that experience made him a stronger candidate.

Otherwise, he would not have included it on his resume.

"It's nothing. Let's discuss it when the time comes," replied Luca as she shifted her gaze to her papers. The phone she put in her pocket vibrated.

Wanda crossed her mind at that moment.

Setting the materials aside, Luca took out her phone and unlocked the screen. It was a message from Johann.

Observing her troubled state, Rhett did not say anything further and returned to his seat to continue with his experiments.

Luca read Johann's message with pursed lips.

[Just performed a surgery. After that, I went to check on Ms. Rayne. Luke had already left. Ms. Rayne had calmed down, but she seemed disinterested. She just sat there in silence. I'll continue to observe her.]

Luca replied to Johann's message, thanking him. After that, her hands were slightly trembling as she put her phone back in her pocket.

Wanda's disinterest probably stemmed from her disbelief in Luke's words...

There had not been a scene, which meant that Luke might have explained things to her.

Luca was worried about Wanda's condition, but there was nothing she could do at the moment.

"Dr. Craw, could you come over for a moment?" A researcher's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Luca immediately came back to her senses and turned to look in the direction where the voice came from.

She quickly pulled herself together, stood up, and walked toward him. "What's the matter?"

"I'm facing some issues over here..."

...

The bustling morning slipped away. While Luca was still thinking about Wanda's situation, Johann sent her another message.

[Just ran into Ms. Rayne's nurse. She said that Ms. Rayne barely ate last night and didn't touch her breakfast this morning. She also doesn't seem to be interested in her lunch.]

Luca's mind was filled with worry again.

Could it be that Luke had explained things to Wanda, but she refused to believe it and decided to go on a hunger strike as a means to go against Luke?

Luca felt even more uneasy. She had taken on a new identity, and everyone was unaware of it. This made the situation harder to deal with.

However, using a hunger strike as a form of silent protest...

[Dr. Park, can you please persuade her.]

Before hitting the send button, Luca quickly erased the message. Then, she wrote: [Dr. Park, can you please keep an eye on her?]

[I've been watching closely. Ms. Rayne simply refuses to eat. I can give her a nutritional drip, but you know that relying on intravenous nutrition without eating isn't beneficial for recovery.

[She needs to eat. The key person to persuade her is Luke. Dr. Craw, perhaps you can discuss a solution with him. Ms. Rayne and Mrs. Norman can't go on like this for long.]

Johann intentionally brought up Queenie as well.

Luca's heart tightened again. [Is Mrs. Norman's condition still the same?]

[Her blood pressure's been off the charts, and she's pretty much stuck in bed. Whenever she gets out of bed, she needs both a nurse and a caretaker to support her, or she's at risk of falling.

[This isn't going to cut it for the long haul. And word on the street is that Old Master Crawford is flipping his lid about this matter. Prepare yourself for it.]

Johann played a pivotal role in Luke's plan.

What he wrote was what Luke had sent to him in advance.

Johann was taking it step by step according to Luke's plan.

If it were not for the fact that he was doing a good deed, he might have felt guilty about it.

As Luca stared at the messages Johann had just sent, she felt her breath catch in her chest.

Luke simplified the situation when he spoke to her. He did not tell her the details!
