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

Chapter 3450 Brush Off The Slap

Luca's head was slightly tilted, her cheek burning with pain.

Abel had not held back at all. The force of his slap was merciless. A numbness spread across her face at an alarming speed.

From the next room, someone peeked out again and asked in a low voice, "You okay?"

"I'm fine." Luca's expression remained calm. This kind of injury was nothing to her.

Back on the Island of Despair, she had endured far worse during training. She survived, did she not?

Without another word, Luca pushed open the lab door and stepped inside.

The man watching shook his head. Her face was already that swollen, and she still said she was fine... What a tough woman. She took a slap that hard and brushed it off like it was nothing.

Shanks lifted his head when he heard the door open. When he saw it was Luca and noticed how swollen the side of her face was, his brows furrowed.

"Abel did this?"

"Who else?" Luca let out a bitter laugh, only to wince as the movement tugged at the pain. She sucked in a sharp breath.

Shanks took another look at her bruised, swollen face. It looked bad. Without a word, he turned to the medicine cabinet, grabbed an anti-inflammatory pill, and handed it to her." Take this and put some ice on it. With how hard he hit you, the swelling will last until tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Shanks." Luca took the pill, swallowing it dry without bothering to grab

water.

It was large, and it took her a while to get it down. Then, she reached for an ice pack from a nearby cabinet and pressed it against her face. Half an hour later, the ice pack had nearly melted into water.

A knock sounded at the lab door.

Luca got up to answer it. It was Gerald, holding a tray. His face lit up when he saw her, but then he froze.

"Ms. Craw, what happened to your face?" Gerald stared at her swollen cheek in shock before lowering his voice. "Wait, don't tell me the boss did this?"

"Is the medicine ready?" Luca ignored his question. Her gaze fell on the dark, bitter liquid in the mug.
