Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3456 Can Luca Really Help Vivian

"Alright." Ray nodded and put the phone case on to protect the device.

Gale glanced at Vivian, who was sitting on the couch. She did not say a word. She looked like an empty shell, completely indifferent to everything. It was as though she was trapped in her own sorrowful world.

"Well, I should leave now," said Gale.

"Okay, let me see you off." Ray nodded, then called out, "Vivian?"

Vivian came back to her senses and turned to look at him. "Huh?"

"Mr. Gale is leaving," added Ray.

Vivian nodded before turning to Gale. "Goodbye, Mr. Gale."

"Goodbye, Ms. Vivian." Gale stepped out the door and noticed Ray was about to walk him out. He quickly waved him off. "Mr. Ray, no need to see me off."

"Alright, take care on your way back." Ray nodded. He did not feel comfortable leaving Vivian alone in the suite anyway.

She was in bad shape right now.

After Gale left, Ray shut the door and walked over to her.

Vivian was still staring blankly into space.

"Vivian," Ray called in a low voice.

There was no response from her.

He called again. "Vivian?"

"Yes?" She finally reacted.

"Gale's gone. You can take off your mask now," said Ray.

Vivian only ever removed her hat and mask in front of him. Around everyone else, including the household staff in the villa, she kept herself completely covered up. Her hands trembled slightly as she removed her bucket hat and mask.

"Ray, do I look ugly?" asked Vivian as tears welled up in her eyes.

Ray shook his head and gently stroked her hair. "No, not at all. My sister is not ugly."

"I know you're just trying to comfort me." Vivian let out a bitter laugh. Ever since she returned to Russia, her skin, which had been fair from her time in A City, had darkened again.

Worse, her face had broken out in clusters of acne-like bumps, and they would take a long time to fade.

Sadness clouded her eyes as she murmured, "I keep thinking about Mr. Crawford's mother. Her skin was the same, and it ruined her face. I'm really scared..."

By the end, her voice was trembling. "My skin keeps getting darker, and now with all these breakouts, I look terrible. I hate the way I look right now."

"Don't worry, it won't stay like this. You have Luca, and her medical skills are incredible.

She'll definitely be able to help you. Besides, didn't you say she knows another skilled person too? You don't have to worry. You'll be fine-I promise," assured Ray.

Ray did not actually have much faith in Luca.

Vivian had already consulted numerous dermatologists in Russia, but they had all shaken their heads, admitting they had no solution for her condition.

Later, Ray heard that Luca was quite skilled, at least skilled enough to have helped alleviate Luke's mother's skin problem when it was at its worst.

Ray had no choice but to go along with Vivian's wishes and bring her to X City.

Luca was Vivian's last hope.

Even though Ray was still searching for dermatology experts to assess her case, at this point, Vivian was only willing to let Luca help.

Ray's expression darkened at the thought of this.

"Well, I believe in Luca. She'll definitely be able to help me. Don't you think so, Ray?"

Vivian's voice was filled with uncertainty. Everyone around her kept saying that Luca could help her. That was why she convinced herself to believe it too.

However, deep down, she still felt like her skin was beyond saving.

Ray nodded. "Yes, there will definitely be a solution. Don't give up. Keeping a positive mindset is important for recovery."

Vivian took a deep breath and glanced at the time. "Ray, I need to get some rest. Only if I rest well will my complexion improve..."

She let out a bitter laugh and ran her fingers over her face. The bumps on her skin felt like they were welded in place, rough and uneven. Then, she added, "Not that I can even tell if my complexion looks better or worse."

"Getting rest will give you more energy. And with more energy, you can have a proper conversation with Luca and figure out what's really going on," replied Ray.

"You're right," Vivian agreed.

She stood up, looked at the two bedrooms, and randomly picked one before walking in and closing the door behind her.

Ray watched the door shut, his expression unreadable.

Could Luca really help Vivian?

He had his doubts.

Yet he still placed all his hopes on her.

Ray walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The advantage of being on a high floor was that he could overlook the entire city. He had never been to X City before.

Looking out at the city, which was far less prosperous than A City, Ray fell into deep thought. He picked up his phone and messaged his subordinates, urging them to continue searching for dermatologists.

A while later, he received a reply.

[Boss, we've found two dermatology specialists from New York. They're willing to consult

with Ms. Vivian in person, but after reviewing the reports from the Russian dermatologists, they can't guarantee a cure.]

Ray: [Got it. Contact every renowned dermatologist worldwide. I want to make sure Vivian fully recovers.]

[Understood, Boss.]

At dawn, Luca was already busy performing dry needling treatment on Hera and the volunteer. After finishing, she set up their IV drips and reminded Gerald to monitor them carefully. She instructed him to replace the fluids when necessary and remove the needles once the IV bags were finished. Only then did she grab her bag and hurriedly leave. Watching the IV fluid slowly drip into her vein, Hera turned to Gerald and asked, "Is Luca heading out?"

"Yes." Gerald nodded.

"Where is she going?" asked Hera.

Gerald glanced at her warily. "I have no idea. Ms. Sanchez, you're still hooked up to an IV. Don't even think about going anywhere. If you pull that needle out, I won't be able to

reinsert it, and today's treatment will be ruined."

Hera shot him a glare. "I wasn't planning on going anywhere."

"Oh," Gerald muttered, visibly relieved. As long as she stayed put, everything was fine. His biggest concern was that she might try to leave.noveldrama

Hera suddenly smirked. "Why are you so protective of her? Have you fallen for her?"

"Of course not!" Gerald scoffed. "Ms. Craw is just a good person. She agreed to help me bring back some cigarettes. And besides, her brother helped me out with something, a really

big favor."

"A big favor?" Hera raised an eyebrow. "What kind of favor?"

Gerald hesitated for a moment. He had almost answered, but then he remembered that Hera had no knowledge of the organization. If he said too much, he would just end up exposing

himself.

Instead, he shrugged and said, "It's nothing important. It's just a little secret of mine. Anyway, I don't have feelings for Ms. Craw. I just think she's a decent person, that's all."

Being stuck in this small villa all day was not enough to drive him insane.

Besides, even if Luca was somehow involved with Lucius, there was still another man to consider-Luke.

That man might not be part of the Island of Despair, but his power and influence were just

as terrifying.

Gerald thought to himself that he was not stupid enough to mess with that.

Hera seemed to believe him. Scoffing, she said, "Even if you did like her, a woman like that

would never like you back."

"I know my place." Gerald grinned.
