Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3297 The Significance Of Traveling Together As A Couple

After they got to the airport and boarded the plane, Nina finally figured out where their honeymoon destination was.

"Haven't we already been to the Maldives?" Nina asked Percy, who was sitting next to her.

"Yeah, we have, but I thought that place meant something special for us, so why not go again?" Percy gently played with her hair.

Nina blinked her eyes, "What do you mean it's special?"

"That's where I really fell for you," confessed Percy.

Nina's face turned red, remembering how they went to the Maldives not long after she

started following him around. If Percy was telling the truth, he must have fallen for her way back then.

As that hit her, she gasped and covered her mouth like she had just uncovered a huge secret.

"What's up?" Percy thought she looked adorable looking so surprised.

Nina shook her head. "Are you saying you had feelings for me ages ago?"

"Yes," Percy admitted to it pretty easily, "Back then, I didn't have much experience with these things, so I didn't think much of it."

"So, you've had feelings for me for a long time now!" Nina went from shock to happiness. As she recalled her past with Percy, she remembered constantly reminding herself not to get too emotionally involved or take things too seriously because he was not a suitable partner. Things would never work out between them. Hence, she kept pushing her feelings down.

"What about you?" asked Percy. "When did you start liking me?"

"From the start, I guess. But I held back my feelings too because I thought I was way out of your league. It felt impossible between us."

Having that mindset made her suppress her feelings, and it took a toll on her mental state. "Anything's possible!" Percy told her. "Look at us now. We're together, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are." Nina took the initiative to hold his hand.

Their hands were tightly intertwined, and they looked sweet together.

Even the people around them could not help but feel a little jealous.

On the other hand, Luke and Luca left Crawford Manor shortly after Percy and Nina.

While they were on their way back, Luke pondered for a bit and said, "Luca, it feels like it's been ages since we've traveled together."

"Oh?" Luca glanced at him. "Didn't we go to X City during the Year's?"

"That's different," replied Luke. "I'm talking about a trip just for us, no kids, no work. Just us two."

Luca thought about it and realized they had not gone on any sweet dates since she returned to A City almost a year ago.

"How about once I wrap up my stuff, we go on a honeymoon too?" suggested Luca, believing he felt the same.

"Sounds good!" Luke nodded. "Where would you like to go?"

"I'm fine with any destination. We can draw lots to see where we end up." Luca thought the significance lay in traveling together as a couple, so the location did not matter.

Every destination would have its own stunning landscapes.

"Sure, I'm all in for whatever you decide," agreed Luke.

Luca smiled. Now that they had made plans together, it gave her some hope for the future.

"Speaking of X City, how's everything over there now?" asked Luca.

"Shanks is doing research at the new base in X City," replied Luke.

Luca blinked her eyes. "New base?"

"Yeah, it seems like Gale's little fire scared Abel and the others, so they got Shanks a new spot-a villa with top-notch security. Gale even heard that Abel bought a high-end fireproof and theft-proof safe."

Luca let out a chuckle. "Looks like Mr. Gale's fire really shook him up. He even bought a safe to stash his herbs!"

"Yes, they're running low on herbs, and they want to keep experimenting, so they need to protect what they have," explained Luke. If they were not after Luca, he would not have let Gale set their place on fire.

After all, he was just as curious about what experiments they were conducting.

"Those herbs are actually hard to find. They said it took climbing several mountains with those herb seekers to locate them, and Abel wasn't patient enough to wait around," Luca said.

"Forget about him. As long as he doesn't ask you for help, I won't touch him," Luke stated firmly. Everything he did was to protect Luca!

"Right." Luca nodded, knowing he had her back.

She was moved.

"Plus, all the info you've given me shows Shanks is pretty impressive. I'm curious to see just how good he is. Can his stuff really wake the dead?" Luke knew that the research from the

Island of Despair had unique effects.

However, he was skeptical about Shanks' work.

Luca said, "I think the herbs are just a supporting role. Surgery might still be required." "What does that mean?" asked Luke. He was genuinely curious about Shanks' abilities. "Well, when it comes to organ transplants, they're just that transplants. After that, you still have to take anti-rejection medicine. But if Shanks performs the transplant and you take the medicine he developed, you wouldn't need anti-rejection medicine anymore. "The chances of compatibility between the organ and the recipient would be much higher, so you wouldn't have to worry about an adverse reaction after stopping the medication." "That's impressive." Luke, despite his dislike for the Island of Despair, could not help but be impressed by Shanks' abilities.

"Yes, but most of the drugs he developed were done before I got there. I missed out on the research, so I don't know how to make them. Those drugs are hard to get, and I can't analyze their components either," added Luca.

She knew that once those drugs hit the market, they could help a lot of families.

However, Shanks' research was primarily for his own benefit. He did not care about how many people his work could help.

It was just like Shanks had been hurt by many people himself.

It was good enough that he was not out for revenge.

If Shanks decided to take revenge, he could easily unleash some deadly viruses.

"But Kassy's situation isn't good. She's blind..." Luke paused for a moment. "It's not just a matter of a transplant. Even if she gets new corneas, it doesn't guarantee she'll see clearly."

Luca knew just how severe Kassy's injuries were.

If she had not persuaded Luke back then, Abel and Shanks might have ended up with just a pile of Kassy's bones.

Even though Shanks was capable, he would be helpless against a pile of bones.

In the end, it was her kindness back then that led to this situation.

Luca could not tell if her initial good intentions were right or wrong until everything was settled.

"So, what if they transplant whole eyeballs?" asked Luca. The current level of medical technology had not reached that point yet. Still, that did not mean Shanks could not pull it off.
