Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle Chapter 2624 Acknowledging His Biological Daughter As His God-Daughter
Leia's current behavior was a pain in the neck. The hospital was planning to improve the security of theVIP floor.
The head nurse had complained to Jack before. Even the most difficult news reporter she met was notas difficult as Leia.
The security guards and nurses on duty dared not to take her lightly. They were worried that they wouldaccidentally let Leia slip into the ward.
Johann even said that they would include Leia's name in the hospital's blacklist if they could.
Queenie heaved a sigh and said, “That's true..."
Luca listened to their conversation. She suddenly felt sorry for them.
Leia had gone over the top and done so many bad things. She did not deserve Queenie's love!
"Come on, stop sighing. She's not young anymore. Besides, she gets an allowance every month. She'llbe fine." Jack comforted her.
Was Leia's health not the reason why Queenie wanted to go home so badly?
They could not let Leia know their condition now. That was why they could only stay in the hospital.
Even though they were taking up public resources, Jack would rather stay in the hospital and wait forLeia to show the cloven foot.
"But I'd like to give Leia a call. I can't seem to reach her," added Queenie.
"Didn't the caretaker say her phone isn't working? You've called the caretaker. She's safe now, and shecan eat and drink well," Jack said in a helpless tone.
Luke had already asked his men to install software on Jack and Queenie's phones. It did not matter if itwas them who called Leia or it was Leia who called them, they would not be able to reach each other.
Queenie had been calling Leia's number all the while. However, she failed to get through every timeshe called. Hence, she could only call the caretaker to find out how Leia was doing.
Jack had already informed the caretaker in advance.
He was the one who hired the caretaker. Of course, the caretaker listened to his instructions. She didnot side with Leia either.
"You're not worried about your daughter at all." Queenie shot Jack a glance as though she wascomplaining about him.
"She's all grown up, and she doesn't need me to worry about her. I'm more concerned about you. It'stime to take your medicine," Jack reminded Queenie.
"Fine. You should take your medicine too," replied Queenie.
The caretaker and the maid took out their medicines and handed them to Jack and Queenie.
The couple took the pills at the same time as though they were in sync with each other. Then, theydrank some water and swallowed the pills.
Luca had mixed feelings while looking at her biological parents.
Jack put down his glass and turned to look at Luca. "Luca, does your hand still hurt?"
"No. Dr. Park is skillful. He sutured the wound well. It doesn't hurt," answered Luca.
Queenie let out a sigh while looking at the white bandage wrapped in Luca's hand. "You got your righthand injured. It must be inconvenient for you. I really have to thank you, Luca."
"Mrs. Norman, don't say something like that. It was me who placed the two of you in danger. I shouldbe the one apologizing." Luca shook her head. Although Leia was involved in the plan, their only targetwas Luca.
It was obvious those men had underestimated her. They only caught Queenie and held her hostagewhen they realized they could not hurt Luca or even try to control her.
"That's enough. Stop saying things like that. The police officers are still investigating the case now.After they find out something, we'll know who should be the one apologizing." Jack's eyes darkened.
Jack had joined the army previously and had been a politician for a number of years. It was his firsttime encountering such a situation.
He would never spare the person who injured his wife and daughter.
"Dear, what do you mean?" Queenie gave him a confused look.
Luca immediately spoke, "What Mr. Norman meant was, those men should be punished. Besides,there's no way they can escape from getting thrown into prison."
"Yeah, I heard that the man who held you hostage is pretending to have a stomach ache now. He's inthe hospital's custodial ward, being watched. Even though he's pretending to be in pain, there's no way
he can be a fugitive from justice. The police officers have made some new progress in theirinvestigation," added Jack.
Luca fell silent when she heard Jack saying that the man was having a stomach ache. She knew whatwas wrong with him.
However, if she did not do that at that time, she would not have been able to escape.
If Luca did not hurt that man, it might not have only been her hand that got injured.
"How do you know so much?" Queenie asked with curiosity. Jack never told her about these. She eventhought that he would not have spoken so much if Luca did not come.
"I know the police chief. They're paying attention to this matter too," replied Jack.
"That's why your phone is constantly ringing." Queenie turned to look at Luca. "Luca, don't worry. Thepolice will be able to find out who's trying to harm you." "Yeah. I believe the police will handle it well."Luca nodded.
Even if the police officers were not involved in this, she believed that Luke's men would be able to findout something.
Luca accompanied them for a while. Then, she rose to her feet and said, “Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, Ishould be leaving now. Take good care of yourself. I'll come to visit again when I have the time."
"Why don't you stay for a while longer? Perhaps you can have some fruits before you leave?" Jackasked.
"It'll be the hospital's lunch break soon. I'd like to visit Ms. Rayne too," said Luca.
Jack knew Wanda was admitted to the hospital too. Thus, he nodded and said, "Sure. Off you go. Besafe when you're on your way back."
"Yeah, I will. Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Norman." Luca pushed the door open after she said goodbye tothem.
Jack stared at the door for quite some time before he shifted his gaze away.
"Dear, you're not being yourself." Queenie could not help but say so when she noticed Jack's oddness.
Jack withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Queenie. "What's the matter?"
"Your eyes never left Luca ever since she came in here. Plus, there's kindness in your eyes when youlook at her..." Queenie did not suspect Jack of being interested in Luca.
After all, the way he looked at Luca was gentle and kind. It was as though a father was looking at hisdaughter.novelbin
When they acknowledged Bianca back then, the way he looked at Bianca was like how he looked atLuca now. He refused to shift his gaze for a long time.
There were not many terms of endearment used, but his eyes were filled with familial love.
Jack was looking at Luca in such a way too.
"This girl, Luca, has saved us twice." Jack let out a sigh. Luca saved them twice. Even though itseemed like she had just saved Queenie, she had saved Jack's life too.
Jack could not imagine how he would be able to live his life without Queenie beside him.
Hence, Luca also saved him when she saved Queenie's life.
Queenie pursed her lips. What Jack said was right.
Luca had saved the Norman family twice.
Queenie suggested, "Dear, I think it's written in the stars that we're meant to meet Luca. Why don't weacknowledge her as our god-daughter when we're discharged from the hospital?"
"No way." Jack shook his head and rejected.
Queenie was confused, and she asked, "Why? Don't you like her?"
Jack did not say anything.
Acknowledging his biological daughter as his god-daughter? That did not make any sense.
Besides, Luke was trying hard to set Luca free too. Luca would be able to return to her true identitysoon. Therefore, it was unnecessary for him to acknowledge her as his god-daughter.
"Let's talk about this later." Jack brushed her off.
