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

Luca felt a twinge in her heart when she heard what Queenie said.

A mother's wish was to watch their children grow up, settle down, get married, and have children.

As Luca watched Queenie murmur to herself beside Leia's ward bed, she thought that she would probably never have the chance again...

Johann shot a glance at Luca, then he turned to look at Queenie. He fell silent for a moment. It was only when his pager beeped did he stand up and say, “Dr. Craw, call me if you need anything. I have something to do now."

"Okay. Go ahead. Thank you." Luca thanked him for helping her reach out to a craftsman.

Johann waved at her and exited the ward.

Luca kept quiet while she looked at Queenie. She let out a sigh, stood up, and walked to the bedside. She comforted her, "Mrs. Norman, don't worry. I'm sure Ms. Norman will be fine."

Queenie pulled some tissue out of the tissue box on the bedside table and wiped the tears on her face. She looked at Luca with tears in her eyes and said, "Luca, I'm sorry you have to see me like this."

"You're a mother. It's normal to have such reactions," Luca replied and shook her head. She did not think it was embarrassing at all. She felt sorry for her instead.

Queenie let out a sigh and began talking about her past, "My daughter, Luke's wife, was taken away when she was born. We were told that our child didn't make it. That's why I began treating Leia like my biological daughter when Jack and I decided to adopt her. We raised her and gave everything to her. But I didn't expect our daughter would end up like this. Sometimes, when I see Leia in pain, I would question myself if it's because I'm not a good mother. That's why."

Luca's heart ached when she heard Queenie blaming herself for the mistakes Leia did and everything that happened to her. She shook her head.

"If I were a better mother, Leia wouldn't have been forced to get out of the country. She went through so much when she was out there, and she even got to know people like that. What did she do to suffer all this. And my daughter, Bea. There's not even a piece of news from her, and she's still out there wandering alone. I've failed as a parent." Queenie choked with sobs, blaming herself for the suffering and pain Leia went through.
