Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3315 The Sudden Decision To Return

"Yay! You're the best, Ms. Luca!" Tommy's face lit up with joy when he heard there was ice cream. His eyes narrowed into little crescents as he grinned. "It was so hot in the exam room! I just wanted to finish quickly and come home!"

Luca smiled and gently patted his head. "You worked hard today, Tommy. Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Tommy's eyes widened in surprise. This was an unexpected treat for him! He quickly listed off a few of his favorite foods and then looked up at Luca, asking, "Ms. Luca, do you think I'm being too greedy?"

"Not at all!" Luca shook her head. "You just finished your competition. You deserve a treat!"

"Aww, Ms. Luca, you're so kind to me." Tommy smiled and hugged her arm. "From now on, I promise I'll be good. You won't have to worry about my schoolwork!"

"That's great. You just need to be good, grow up healthy, and stay happy." Luca gave him a gentle smile. It was the best blessing a mother could give her child.

There was nothing more important than a child growing up healthy and happy.

Tommy nodded firmly.

When they arrived at the supermarket, Warren parked the car in a temporary spot on the side of the road.

Luca and Tommy went inside, picking up snacks and household supplies that filled up a big bag.

After they got back home, Luca carried the bag in one hand and held Tommy's hand with the other as they walked into the living room.

Lanie, Rainie, and Vivian were all in the living room.

The TV was off, and the expressions on their faces seemed a bit off.

"Lanie, Rainie, Ms. Vivian, I'm back!" Tommy did not notice anything strange and ran over to them excitedly.

Guess what? Ms. Luca is going to make us ice cream later! Aren't you excited?"

He was still cheering when he finally noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was weird.

Only Vivian gave him a faint smile and replied, "That's great. Is there any for me?"

"Of course!" Tommy nodded eagerly. "Ms. Luca makes the best ice cream!"Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

After saying that, he finally realized that Lanie and Rainie did not seem too happy. He asked, "Lanie, Rainie, did something happen?"

Lanie and Rainie exchanged glances, then turned to look at Luca.

"Why the long faces? What happened?" asked Luca, puzzled.

"Grandma called an hour ago," Rainie pondered for a moment before answering.

"Grandma?" Luca frowned, picking up on the fact that they said 'Grandma', not 'Great-grandma'.

They were not talking about Susan but Allison.

More than half a year had passed since they last saw her. Luca had heard from Luke that Allison had gone to Seoul for restorative surgery, but she was not sure about the specifics.

However, she was sure of one thing. Based on what she had seen of Allison's skin, no current medical treatment could fully restore it.

Multiple surgeries might improve the situation a bit, but she would never be able to return to her former state.

These surgeries would only cause more pain, both physically and mentally. Allison, however, would not listen to anyone. That was why Luca had only discussed this with Luke.

She knew that no matter what she said to Allison, it would fall on deaf ears.

"Grandma?" Tommy also sensed something was wrong. Remembering his grandmother's face, which looked like a wicked witch from a fairy tale, he shuddered and asked, "Lanie, Rainie, why did Grandma suddenly call?"

He knew she had gone to Seoul for cosmetic surgery and had not called since leaving the country. It seemed she did not care about her grandchildren at all.

Lanie said, "Grandma called Daddy. She said she's coming home."

Luca frowned. "Is she better?"

Both Lanie and Rainie shook their heads.

Vivian did not really want to get involved in this conversation as it was Luke's family business. However, when she heard Luca's question, she cautiously added, "Luca, I saw Mr. Crawford video chatting with her earlier. She...

"Her skin is still wrinkled and hasn't healed?" asked Luca.

"Yes," Vivian nodded. She did not mean to look over, but Allison had asked to see the kids, so Luke had brought his phone into the living room.

Vivian did not realize he was on a video call, and when she walked by and glanced at the screen, she was so startled that she let out a gasp.

Allison's face looked just like a witch's from a fairy tale!

Vivian could not help but let out a soft scream.

Allison heard it too and demanded to know who she was.

She even asked why there was such an ugly maid in the house...

The atmosphere in the living room immediately became awkward.

Vivian knew her reaction was impolite, but Allison's comment was hurtful, so she found herself in an uncomfortable position.

Luke then apologized to her on Allison's behalf, but Vivian knew it was not his fault. She felt conflicted and regretted screaming. If she had not, Allison might not have noticed her.

"I see." Luca furrowed her brows. Allison's skin had not healed yet, so why the sudden decision to return?

Was it not exhausting to keep going back and forth?

After all her efforts to restore her skin, was she finally giving up because it was not working?

"Luca, I didn't mean to. I didn't know they were on a video call. I was just curious and took a peek, and then I accidentally screamed..." Vivian explained nervously.

"It's okay." Luca understood how Vivian must have reacted. She then turned to the two kids. "Did Grandma say why she's suddenly coming back?"

"Grandma said that all the doctors abroad are frauds. She even called Dad a liar for sending her to Seoul. She said the doctors there were useless. After all the treatments and surgeries she's had, there's still no improvement.

"So, she's coming home to find a new doctor to keep treating her," answered Rainie. She shivered at the thought of Allison's face.

Even though she was their grandmother and had once been kind to them, her current appearance was terrifying! Just thinking about it gave her nightmares.

Especially since she had read many fairy tales, she could not help but associate Allison's face with the image of a wicked witch.

Rainie's small, pale face twisted with discomfort. Ever since their grandmother's appearance changed, she had been frightened by her.

The worst part was that whenever she stood in front of Allison, she would stare at Rainie's face, and her eyes would be filled with jealousy. It was like she was a witch wanting to steal Rainie's face...

It was terrifying!

Luca let out a sigh and placed the bag on the coffee table. "Is your dad upstairs?"

"Yes, he is." Lanie nodded. He was not too happy about their grandmother coming back either.

Ever since she was released from prison, she was no longer the same person. Her personality had changed drastically, and he did not like her anymore.

"I'm going upstairs. Can you guys help put away the things?" asked Luca.

"Sure!" Lanie agreed.

Luca turned around and made her way up the stairs.

When she reached the bedroom door, it was slightly open, but she knocked anyway.

"You're back." Luke looked up and saw her. His gaze softened with warmth.

"Yes, I'm back." Luca nodded. "I heard from the kids. She's really coming back?"
