Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3261 Their Base Was Burned To The Ground

After Luca finished washing up, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Luke held her in his arms, but he was wide awake.

Ever since he found out that Luca was summoned to the the Island of Despair base today, he was unable to rest easy, worried that something might happen to her.

Fortunately, she was not hurt, and everything seemed normal.

Now that Shanks was frequently conducting research here, Luke knew he would continue to worry if this issue was not resolved,

He realized some things could not be delayed any longer.

In the pitch-black bedroom, his phone suddenly lit up.

Luke released Luca's waist, picked up his phone, and quietly left the room.

After closing the door, he glanced at the message, then stepped onto the balcony and dialed a number.

"Boss, you saw the message?" Gale's voice came through. He was the one who sent the message earlier. Luke's voice was heavy as he directly asked, "Yeah. Are you sure the information is accurate?"

"It's accurate. I hacked into the system and confirmed that one of the names on the visitor list is another fake identity of Abel's, replied Gale.

"Good." Luke's voice was deep, confirming what he suspected. If Abel was among the visitors, the research they were conducting was likely related to Kassy.

It was not just Luca who had been working hard. Luke had been putting in effort too.

His team had been monitoring Abel the entire time.

Since Abel was not an ordinary person, it took a lot of effort and personnel to surround him with operatives playing various roles.

It was just to avoid being discovered. Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org

Abel had gone to the detention center for a visit.

They could not determine who he visited, but to avoid alerting him, they had no choice but to hack the system and retrieve the visitor list.

"Boss, do you think their current actions are aimed at rescuing Kassy?" asked Gale.

"Yes," Luke was almost certain.

Luca mentioned before that Abel harbored deep hatred toward him, not just because he led the operation to destroy the previous Island of Despair but also because he injured Kassy.

That was why he rebuilt the Island of Despair and kidnapped Luca.

"Then, the research they're conducting now is also..." Gale did not finish his sentence, but he had already realized what Abel was up to.

"Luca mentioned that one of the ingredients Abel is after has the ability to regenerate flesh and bones, replied Luke.

"Well..." Gale was not too surprised by the medicinal properties, knowing there were countless herbs with various effects.

"I had Kassy's eyes and legs ruined before. Abel wouldn't want a crippled person, so he must have asked Shanks

Luke frowned, realizing that Luca had a point.

Better equipment usually meant faster and smoother research.

"Perhaps the experiment is specifically targeted at A City," suggested Luke.

Luca frowned. "I don't think so."

Luke waited for her to elaborate.

Luca explained, "Abel values this experiment highly, so the research must be important to him. If it were useful to Shanks, why didn't he head back to the Island of Despair to study it? He spends most of his time there, after all."

Luke nodded.

Luca added, "So there's something we don't know. If we can understand what Abel is planning, we might be able to figure out the nature of this research and whether it could endanger the city."

This city was her home, so she needed to take it seriously.

Her partner, family, and kids are all here!

As soon as Luca finished speaking, her stomach growled.

Embarrassed, she patted her stomach and explained, "I haven't had dinner."

"They kept you busy for so long and didn't even feed you?" Luke frowned and took her hand, leading her to the dining area.

Luca explained, "Shanks didn't eat either, so I didn't want to bring it up. I didn't want to make things worse with Abel."

Luke felt sorry for her. "Luckily, I had Aunt Neile save you some food. Sit down, and I'll heat it up for you."

She shook her head. "I'll handle it. You don't know how to use the kitchen appliances."

"Luca, are you underestimating me? I can use them. Just wait here," he replied, setting her down at the table before heading into the kitchen.

Even though he had not used the kitchen appliances before, he figured he could manage with the instructions. He came out with the food ten minutes later.

Luca gave him a thumbs-up when she saw the steaming dishes. "I didn't expect you, as someone who never cooks, to be so skilled with these appliances! Impressive!"

Luke placed the food in front of her. "Eat first. I'll check on the soup."

Luca nodded and picked up her cutlery.

She was really hungry and ate with little regard for manners.

When Luke came back with the soup, he saw her eating like this and frowned. "Did you skip lunch too?"

Luca thought for a moment and nodded. "Looks like I did. No wonder I'm so hungry!"

He shook his head. "You...."

She smiled cheerfully. "It's okay. My stomach's fine. I'm just making up for it now."

Luke was speechless. What could she do to make up for it?

His stomach was not great, and it was mostly due to working so much that he forgot to eat. He did not want Luca to end up like him.

Luke sat across from her, watching her eat and drink. He reminded her, "From now on, you need to have all three

meals a day. Got it?"

"Got it. Today was just an abnormality. I usually eat regularly," replied Luca, feeling better after finishing her meal. Luke reached for the dishes, but she chimed in, "I'll clean up. You should go check on the kids and see if they're

asleep."

Remembering that Tommy had been sneaking books and staying up recently, Luke nodded. "Just put everything in the sink. Aunt Neile will clean them up tomorrow."

"Okay," Luca agreed.

Luca tidied up the table and put the dishes in the kitchen sink before heading upstairs.

She ran into Luke, who had just finished checking on the kids. Then, she asked quietly, "Are the kids asleep?"

"Yes, they're asleep. Don't worry, it's not like they're always undisciplined," replied Luke as he opened the door to their bedroom.

Luca nodded in agreement. "I'm just worried that if we don't catch their occasional lapses in discipline, it might become a habit."

"That won't happen. Have some faith in your kids. If you don't trust them, trust our genes. With genes like ours, how could they not be disciplined?" Luke was quite confident in his genetic heritage.

Luca gave him a skeptical look. "Mr. Crawford, you're way too full of yourself."

"Alright, enough teasing. Go wash up and get some sleep. You've had a long day," replied Luke, guiding her into the bedroom. "I've already laid out your pajamas. Just take a shower."

"Okay." Luca appreciated Luke's care and concern. She entered the bathroom, feeling exhausted and in need of rest.

Working under Abel had been stressful, and she had maintained intense focus.

Once she let her guard down, she felt the full weight of her fatigue.
