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

Chapter 3389 Things Will Only Get Worse Later

Luke had never taken the medicine that could speed up healing, so his recovery was nowhere near as fast as the others from the Island of Despair.

Luca did not respond to Gerald's comment. Her gaze fixed on him with intensity.

"No stitches," said Luke, "I trust you."

Luca bit her lower lip.

"But if you don't stitch it, it might tear open," insisted Gerald, staring at Luke's wounds.

Luke glanced at his injuries and shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, as though the wounds had nothing to do with Luca.

"Stitches will leave scars."

"Are you afraid of scars? What kind of man doesn't have a few scars on him? Scars are a symbol of manhood," teased Gerald with a playful tone, "Scars show you're reliable, that you can protect a woman."

Luke gave him a look as though he were an idiot, then his gaze shifted to Luca. "I don't want too many scars. I'm worried my future wife might dislike them."

Luca's heart sank at his words, but his lighthearted remark eased her sadness.

Despite the severity of his injuries, he was still trying to comfort her.

She felt helpless, unable to say or do anything to change his mind.

Gerald, oblivious to the undercurrent of emotion, continued to argue, "Scars show you're dependable. Your future wife will admire and worship you for it... but..."

He paused for a moment and his expression was suddenly strange. "Can any of us really get married? I've never heard of anyone in the organization getting married!"

Luca did not respond to Gerald.

Luke had made up his mind not to get stitches, and Luca knew there was no point in arguing further. She picked up a cotton swab, dipped it in iodine, and carefully began cleaning his wounds. "This might hurt a bit, bear with it." "Okay."

Luke lowered his eyes, watching her delicate movements with tendemess.

After she carefully disinfected each gruesome wound, she sprinkled healing powder on them, and then layered them with gauze. Finally, she administered a tetanus shot to prevent infection.

By the time she was done, a fine sheen of sweat covered her forehead.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Avoid strenuous activity that makes you sweat. Otherwise, they might get infected," Luca reminded him, worried that
