Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3406 Do You Regret It

As Luca listened to his tone that was full of regret, she felt a slight pang in her heart.

She recalled when she had a child and continued pursuing her education. If she had given up on herself back then, perhaps she and Luke would not find themselves here today.

Luca felt she was much more fortunate than the volunteer. Even though she loved her father, she also understood the importance of education and did not let her father's illness cause her to give up.

She was also fortunate to have a father who supported her education.

At the thought of this, Luca could not help but ask, "Do you regret it?"

"No, I don't regret it," the volunteer smiled. "Actually, I always look at it in a positive light. Back then, several boys in my class liked her. If I hadn't confessed, she might have become someone else's girlfriend. If there's anything I regret over the years, it's that I was too selfish and it affected her studies.

"I never thought that being in a relationship at a young age would affect studies. A couple can date and study at the same time, it doesn't have to waste anyone's education. She pushed me to study well, but I didn't listen... I foolishly thought that even if I didn't study, I could still give her a good future with my efforts. Everything I have now is mocking the naive and reckless person I was back then.

"In the early years, I didn't understand why her parents opposed us being together. I even hated them for tearing us apart. But as my life and work became harder, I realized they made the right choice.

"She's a good girl and deserves better, so I shouldn't have held her back."

By the end of his story, Luca let out a heavy sigh.

What a heartbreaking story.

It had stretched from his youth into his middle age.

In the end, all that remained was an endless sense of regret.

Luca did not know what the man in front of her would do after his recovery, but it seemed there would never be another chance with the woman in his heart.

There was no longer even the slightest connection between them.

He had once loved that girl so much, but now, she had become someone else's wife and someone else's mother. They were no longer in contact.

"Did you two ever get in touch again?" asked Luca.

"We kept in touch at first. But when I found out she was getting married, I cut off all contact. She told me that I was still the one she loved the most, but after spending those years abroad, she realized the gap between us. She said it was impossible for things to go back to how they were. Even if I threw caution to the wind and went abroad to try and win her back, it wouldn't work either. At that point, I knew-this girl would stay in my heart forever, and I could never touch her again. So, I changed my phone, switched all my contact information, even cut ties with old classmates. That way, she couldn't find me, and I couldn't find her either." He recalled what happened later without regret.

"Actually, I think this is for the best. If we'd kept in touch, I'd still have hope, thinking maybe I'd run overseas and do something immoral. But now, it's just right."

Luca smiled.

The volunteer yawned. "Ms. Craw, I think I'm a little tired."

"Get some rest. We'll rest in the medical vehicle tonight, and tomorrow we can get you back to your room." Luca glanced at the time. It was already past ten in the evening. She had not realized just how much time had passed as they talked.noveldrama

"When my eyesight comes back, I'm going to take a good look at this little yard," he mumbled.

Luca listened to the steady rhythm of his breathing and gently slowed down the IV drip. She took out her phone, and pondered for a moment before sending a message to Luke: [Luke, do you regret being with me?]

A few seconds after sending it, Luke's call came through.

Luca stepped out of the medical vehicle, hiding in a corner to make sure no one was around before answering. "Yes?"

"Why are you asking something like that all of a sudden?" Luke's voice was deep, like the cool breeze of the night, brushing against her and clearing away the regrets that had lingered in her heart from hearing the story.

"I heard a rather heartbreaking story today. We've known each other since high school, so I'm curious. Do you regret it?" asked Luca.

Perhaps Luke's life would have been better without her.

"No, I don't regret it." Luke's voice was gentle and warm. "Luca, I noticed you back in high school. My feelings for you began right then, so I don't regret it. You're not allowed to regret it either, and don't overthink it. Other people's stories are theirs, ours is ours. We're not like any other couple in this world. So don't think too much about it. If you have to think, just think about this-I love you. I've always loved you and never regretted it."

His words flowed into her heart like a thousand streams of warmth, wrapping her in a gentle embrace.

It was a warmth that filled her, deep and comforting.

Luca felt a deep sense of gratitude, and a smile unconsciously spread across her lips.

"I love you too." She could not say much, so she kept it simple, expressing that she felt the same way.

After the call, Luca returned to the medical vehicle, sanitized herself, and went inside. The volunteer was already deeply asleep.

She glanced at the monitoring equipment and did a simple check on him.

"Ms. Craw, what's going on?" The volunteer, still groggy from sleep, was roused by her movements as she checked on him.

"It's nothing. I'm just checking on you. Go back to sleep." Luca was only being cautious. After all, he had just had a major surgery, so she had to be extra careful.

The volunteer did not say anything more and fell back asleep.

On the other hand.

Luke hung up his phone.

Gordan rubbed his arms, feeling goosebumps, and shuddered. "My god, bro, you actually say that kind of disgusting stuff."

"Disgusting?" Luke replied nonchalantly. "That's sweet talk. A single guy like you wouldn't understand."

"I don't understand. Even with countless women around me, I'd never say something like that. Gross." Gordan clearly stated that he would never say such things, as he could not do something so gross.

Luke glanced at him with deep eyes, then said calmly, "I heard from Ray that Vivian will be going back home for the summer break."

"Why are you bringing her up?" Gordan shrugged dismissively, a look of indifference

crossing his face.

Yet, when Vivian's name was mentioned, a hint of irritation flashed across his face.

"I need to make sure you won't go to Russia. I need you here to help me," replied Luke. "What do you mean? Do you think I'd go to Russia because of her? I'm telling you, if I go to Russia, it'll be to help you and your wife to get rid of the Island of Despair. It won't be because of that woman." Gordan's tone became sharper.

It seemed like he was trying to convince both himself and Luke.

Luke nodded. There was a smile on his lips as he picked up a bottle of wine beside him and poured Gordan a glass.

Gordan took the glass and swirled it. He was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of the mocking smile on Luke's lips and immediately felt irritated.

"You don't believe what I'm saying?" asked Gordan.

Compared to his friend's flustered outburst, Luke remained remarkably calm. "Does it really matter if I believe you or not? You're going to Russia sooner or later. Who you're going for doesn't matter. What matters is whether you can help me."
