Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 3302 What's There To Be Afraid Of After about a dozen needles, Gordan was in so much pain he started questioning himself. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and his back was drenched in cold sweat. It was 38 degrees Fahrenheit outside, yet here he was, sweating from the sheer pain.

He realized the pain from being shot was nothing compared to this. This was real agony.

His mind wandered, pondering the meaning of life. Was he meant to endure this kind of suffering? Just as he was spiraling into these thoughts, Luca spoke up, "Last one." As the final needle went in, he could not help but let out a loud yelp.

The sound was so startling that Aunt Neile, who had just cin with groceries, jumped. "What's going on?" Aunt Neile hurried over.

Gale quickly reassured her, "It's fine, Aunt Neile. Dr. Craw is just giving Gordan treatment." Aunt Neile wondered if treatment should hurt that much? She glanced at Gordan, whose face had gone pale.

However, since Luke and Luca seemed calm, she nodded and left, though she kept glancing back with every step.

"You okay?" asked Luca, concerned.

Gordan bit his lip and answered, "Yeah, I'm fine." "Well, he only screamed once, so he's probably fine," Gale chimed in.

Gordan shot him a glare without saying a word. He was too drained to bother. Every muscle in his body felt like it had given up from the pain.

"He was holding it in for a long time." Luca saw right through him.

She had fully expected him to cry out before the last needle, but he toughed it out until the end.

"How long do the needles need to stay in?" asked Gordan.

"These needles will need to stay in for about ten minutes," replied Luca, checking the time. It was scorching outside, and she was sweating as much as he was.

Gordan stayed quiet, silently enduring the grueling ten minutes.

After the twas up, Luca began removing the needles. When she pulled out the last one, Gordan let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Try moving around a bit and see if there's any improvement," suggested Luca.

Gordan moved his arm and was surprised to find it much more flexible than before.

"Dr. Craw, you're amazing!" He had already forgotten about the pain and was busy praising her.

His arm no longer hurt, and his range of motion had improved significantly.

Luca wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Your arm still can't handle any intense training for now. You'll need to keep up with the treatment. Let's go inside. It's way too hot out here." "Yes, let's head in," said Luke as he helped pack up the equipment.

Gale and Gordan followed suit, and together, they put everything away before heading back into the living room. The air conditioning inside was a refreshing change, and Luca finally let out a sigh of relief. Back on the Island of Despair, there was hardly ever summer, and since she spent most of her tunderground, Luca had gotten used to the cool, constant temperature there. She still was not quite adjusted to A City's blazing heat.

Gale rested his hand on Gordan's shoulder and asked, "How are you feeling now?" "Much better," replied Gordan.

Even though it was not as painful as it was before, he could sense that his range of motion was not as good as it used to be.

However, the moment Luca pulled out the needles, he could tell the difference right away.

"Dr. Craw really knows her stuff," commented Gale.

Aunt Neile cin with a smile on her face and placed four glasses of smoothies on the table. "Chave ssmoothies!" "Great!" Gale's eyes lit up. He grabbed the glass Aunt Neile handed him, thanked her, and eagerly took a sip. The ice-cold smoothie cooled him from the inside out, and everyone felt refreshed.

"This is amazing!" Gale gave Aunt Neile a thumbs-up.

"There's more in the kitchen if you'd like another glass, Mr. Gale," offered Aunt Neile, seeing how much he enjoyed it.

"No, I'm good, thanks." Gale set his glass down. Noticing Luke had finished his as well, he asked, "Boss, shall we continue our discussion?" "Yes." Luke nodded, and the two of them headed upstairs.

Now, only Luca and Gordan remained downstairs.

"Dr. Craw..." Gordan was about to say something, but just then, Luca's phone rang.

She gave him an apologetic look before answering, "Mr. Link, what's the matter?" "Dr. Craw, the classes at Capital University have been completed," reported Rhett.

Since Luca had been busy these past couple of days, she had asked Rhett to take over her lectures.

"Thank you, I appreciate it," said Luca.

"Oh, and I think I ran into one of your friends," added Rhett.

"A friend?" Luca was surprised. "Who?" "Miss Vivian, a student from Capital University," explained Rhett.

"Vivian? What about her?" asked Luca as she glanced at Gordan.

He had been sitting calmly, but the moment he heard Vivian's name, he froze for a moment and then furrowed his brows.

"Miss Vivian said she missed you and asked if I could give her a ride. She mentioned wanting to visit you," replied Rhett. He did not actually know where Luca lived, nor had he planned on delivering her materials.

Still, given Vivian's request, he felt obligated to check with Luca.

Luca paused for a moment and turned to look at Gordan.

The living room was quiet, with no TV on, so he heard the conversation clearly. Gordon sensed her hesitation and said, "It's fine." Luca replied, "Alright, then please bring Vivian over. She knows where I live." "Got it, Dr. Craw," replied Rhett.

After hanging up, Luca fixed her gaze on Gordan. "Mr. Norton, are you sure you're okay with this?" "Who's Vivian to me? It's not like I'm afraid of seeing her," replied Gordan, sounding defensive.

Luca raised an eyebrow but did not push further.

She could sense his emotional shift.

However, as he said, everything that had happened between him and Vivian was in the past. As a friend there was reesonanto As no reason for her to be more concerned about it than he was. "Alright." She glanced at his empty glass and asked, "There's more smoothie. Would you like another glass?"

"No thanks. I'm heading upstairs to join the others." Gordan stood up but stairs, as he took his first step up thes he turned around and looked at Luca. "Dr. Craw, could you ask Aunt Neile to make scoffee?" "But you can't have coffee today." Luca frowned. She had no issue making coffee for the others, but Gordan was not supposed to drink any.

"You've got to be kidding..." Gordan exclaimed in surprise. He did not sleep well the night before and needed coffee just to stay awake.

"Technically, you're not supposed to have coffee or strong tea for 24 hours after dry needling treatment. If you're going to be around more often, I can mix up sherbal medicine for you to drink," offered Luca as she rose to her feet. Gordan pulled a face. "Can I say no?" "No, unless you plan on leaving right now," replied Luca. She headed toward the storage room to gather sherbs.

There was not much left from the herbal packets, but she still had singredients from the medicinal soup she had prepared for Gordan earlier.

They would work just fine for brewing a herbal remedy.

Gordan considered leaving but then remembered Vivian would be coming by soon. He hesitated for a moment.

He could not leave. If he did, Luca might think he was running away because of Vivian. Vivian was just a woman he no longer wanted. What was there to be afraid of?
