Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3376 It Nearly Took Her Life

"I know you're not interested in her, but still, we should be cautious," Luca joked, trying to lighten the mood. She was actually worried that Hera's feelings for Luke might interfere with their plans.

Luca looked at him with concern. "You weren't in your room last night. If she really went to your room, she must've noticed your absence. How will you explain that?"

*There are plenty of reasons I could give." Luke already had an explanation in mind.

However, if Hera really had feelings for him and stayed here, it would definitely cause him some trouble.

*Just be careful." Luca felt helpless. Abel's sudden appearance had already messed up a lot of their plans. There was no way for her to leave this little villa now.

With Abel bringing Hera here and her developing feelings for Luke, it was bound to cause more trouble for him later.

Luca felt frustrated.

She had enough trouble on her own. She did not want Luke to get caught up in trouble too. She had never intended for him to be involved in the first place.

"Don't worry. I told you I'd protect you, and I will," replied Luke.

Luca felt a mix of gratitude and concern inside her. It was a complicated feeling. She glanced at the time and said, "I need to go give the volunteer the injection now. Hera might cause trouble for you later, so be careful."

She turned around and went upstairs after saying that.

When Hera woke up, it was already past 10:00 pm.

Abel had already gotten up, and when she sat up, she saw that he was not in the room. She let out a sigh of relief. Abel's violent treatment of her was terrifying.

She glanced at the marks on her body. There were purple and blue bruises, which did not look good at all. Thinking about how he had treated her the night before, she could not help but shiver.

It was terrifying.

It nearly took her life.

Hera changed her clothes and covered up the marks on her body before heading downstairs. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, Gerald approached her. "Good morning, Ms. Sanchez."

A hint of disgust flashed across Hera's eyes when she saw Gerald. She lazily said, "Morning. Where's your boss?"

*Boss had breakfast and left this morning. He must have some matters to attend to. Ms. Sanchez, would you like some breakfast?" asked Gerald.

"Yes, I'm starving," replied Hera. Her hunger yesterday had been fake, but after the exhaustion she went through, she was now genuinely famished.

Gerald led her to the dining area and brought her breakfast.

Hera looked at the meal and frowned. "What kind of breakfast is this? Can I even eat it?"

"It's edible, and it actually tastes pretty good," replied Gerald. Luca was the one who prepared breakfast and the taste was excellent. "Don't worry. I knew you'd wake up a bit late, so I kept the pasta and sauce separately so that the pasta wouldn't get soggy."

Luca had started making breakfast for everyone, and the quality of their meals had improved dramatically.

They all loved Luca's cooking.

They did not have any particular preferences when it came to food. Whatever Luca made, they ate. Everything tasted great to them.

Hera was suspicious, but she picked up her cutlery and tried a bite of the pasta.

The taste was indeed good. She huffed in a slightly arrogant manner. "Not bad. Where did you buy this?"

"It's made by Ms. Craw," Gerald replied with a smile.

Hera froze for a moment. It was made by that woman, Luca?

She almost put her cutlery down, not wanting to eat. However, her taste buds had already been awakened, and her body was protesting, crying out for food.

Even though she wanted to deny it, she could not argue that the breakfast was delicious.

Hera had no choice but to keep eating. After all, compared to her inner resistance, she could not stand the thought of staying hungry.

She had no idea when Abel would be back, so she needed to get energy from food to prepare for whatever might come.

Gerald smiled happily as he watched Hera eat her breakfast, secretly praising Luca's cooking skills. Even people who disliked her could not resist the temptation of her food. Her culinary skills were indeed extraordinary.

Hera did not exactly eat elegantly. She seemed to be captivated by the delicious food.

By the time Gerald came back to his senses, Hera had finished her meal.

She wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "This breakfast was awful. From now on, send someone out to buy me breakfast every morning."

Gerald stared at the empty plate, speechless.

Awful?

Then why did she finish it all?

This woman was something else.

Gerald grumbled to himself but did not say anything out loud. Instead, he just nodded. "Alright, Ms. Sanchez." Hera stood up, trying to act casual. She asked, "By the way, where's Lucius?"

"He's at the training ground," answered Gerald, pointing the way. "Just go out, take a right at the small garden, and there's a training ground. When they don't have shifts, they like to hang out there and work out."

*Alright." Hera smiled, her heart racing a little as she imagined what she might see. After all, when men worked out, they tended to take off their shirts to let the sweat flow. In that case, she could see Lucius' strong, muscular body!

With that thought in mind, Hera could not help but walk faster.

Gerald watched Hera's departing figure and shook his head helplessly. If their boss saw her being swept up in the excitement of love, he would probably lose his temper. The thought made Gerald shiver. He was silently relieved that Hera was not interested in him.

If she had set her sights on him, rejecting such a beautiful woman would be really tough.

Hera, unaware of what Gerald was thinking, quickly made her way to the training ground, which was a separate room. Before she even entered, she could already hear the sounds of training. It seemed like it was not just

Lucius in there.

She stepped in quickly and immediately spotted the man she was looking for among the few guys working out.

He was punching the air.

He had not taken off his shirt, so she could not see his well-built body. Hera felt a bit disappointed but could not help but watch him as he worked up a sweat. She was utterly mesmerized.

The other men had already noticed Hera's arrival.

Seeing her focus solely on Luke, the earlier topic of conversation was instantly brought back up.

Several of the men were frustrated, feeling that they were stronger or better than Luke in some way. Why could

Hera not see them?

They doubled their efforts.

One even walked over to Luke. "Lucius, how about a little competition?"

"Sure." Luke did not mind showing them up.

Hera stepped forward and said, "Stop. Don't bother."

Luke frowned. His attention had been on his punches this whole time. He had his back to the door and did not

know she had arrived.

When did she come in?

He felt a wave of disgust and took a step back.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hera did not think much of it, assuming he was just stepping back to avoid his sweat from getting on her.

She tilted her head to look up at Luke, who was a head taller than her. "I need your help with something. Come with me."
