Chapter 1335 Luca Is Not Bianca’s Friend
As Amur drove the car, he thought that Bianca was truly shameless.
Luca did not argue that point. She stroked the little girl's hair.
Usually, Rainie was not fond of strangers, but she somehow felt a sense of familiarity with Luca. Shewanted to get closer with Luca, but she looked at her dirty clothes and decided to keep some distanceinstead.
Amur drove the car to Crawford Manor.
After Amur parked the car, he and Luca stepped out and left. After all, Bianca was not going to runaway, so they decided that their intervention stopped there.
Bianca's gaze turned sinister as she watched them leave. She opened the car door and planned tomove over to the driver's seat so that she could drive the car inside the house. Rainie saw Bianca stepout of the car, so she opened the car door and went into the house by herself.
Bianca did not stop her. She sat on the driver's seat and drove the car into the house.
The situation in Crawford Manor was chaotic because of Rainie's disappearance. When the butlerstepped into the house while holding Rainie's hand, everyone stopped doing what they were doing.
Old Master Crawford walked in front of the little girl with the help of his walking stick. "Where have youbeen, Rainie? Why are your clothes so dirty?"
Luca had cleaned Rainie's face, but her clothes remained dirty. She did not change her clothes in thecar.
Bianca let the driver drive the car into the garage while she walked into the house carrying twoshopping bags. She heard Old Master Crawford's question, and she did not give Rainie the chance tospeak. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I brought Rainie out for dinner last night, then we went to the mall. We gotlost on our way home, my phone ran out of battery, and the navigation system in the car had brokendown. We'd still be lost if not that I met an old friend."
Old Master Crawford frowned. "You got lost?"
Bianca nodded. She did not feel guilty despite the old man's stern questioning. "Yes, we were lost, andit was already very late. We spent the night somewhere. In the morning, we wanted to go and borrow aphone from someone, but we met my friend, and we managed to get home."
"You're already a grown adult, yet you got lost!" Old Master Crawford narrowed his gaze. If it were twoyears ago, when they first found her and she had lost all her memories, it was plausible for her tobecome lost. Nowadays, Bianca went out shopping almost every other day, and she should be veryfamiliar with downtown A City.
"I don't know what happened. My mind was blank when I was driving, and I didn't recognize any of thestreets, and the navigation system in the car was broken..." Bianca attributed what happened the nightbefore to mysteriousnovelbin
phenomena.
She had deliberately destroyed the navigation system so that the people from the Crawford familywould not be able to track her down. It was a reasonable explanation.
While Bianca explained to Old Master Crawford what happened the night before, he noticed that Rainiewas only standing there. He could see that the little girl was exhausted, and she must have beentraumatized by the ordeal.
"This has been happening quite often recently. I always feel something flash across my brain, but afterthat, I won't remember anything. I don't know what's going on with me..." To make her story soundmore plausible, Bianca said that it was not the first time it had happened.
Old Master Crawford's brows were furrowed tightly.
Eventually, he said, "You should go to the hospital to get that checked. If that has been happening,you'd better not drive yourself. I'll get the butler to arrange a driver for you."
"Alright. Thank you, Grandpa." Bianca was relieved when she saw that the old man did not blame her.
Even though she still resented him, she was not going to let the issue linger. After all, there were manymore opportunities to get back at him.
She turned her head and smiled at Rainie, who was very cooperative and did not expose her lies."Let's go upstairs, Rainie. Look, you're filthy. Go take a shower and change into something clean."
Rainie was afraid when Bianca stretched out a hand toward her. She did not take Bianca's hand, butinstead, she went up the stairs herself.
Bianca's smile froze. She noticed that Old Master Crawford was still looking at herself, so she sighedand said, "The poor child, she must have been traumatized by what happened yesterday."
"Right, who's that friend you mentioned?" Old Master Crawford asked.
Bianca hesitated for a split second but eventually decided to name-drop Luca. "She's a medicalresearcher working in Luke's pharmaceutical company. Her name is Luca. When I went to the companythe last time, we resolved the conflict between us and became good friends."
"I see." Old Master Crawford nodded, then turned to speak to the butler. "Now that they've come home,call off the search."
Seeing that Old Master Crawford did not suspect her explanation, she decided to say nothing furtherand go upstairs.
Just like Rainie, she had not taken a bath since the night before. All she wanted was to take a nice bathand change into a clean set of clothes.
When Lanie and Tommy came home from school, they found out that Rainie had returned, so theyrushed over to
her bedroom.
Lanie heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Rainie in her bedroom. He closed the door.
Tommy stood next to Rainie and took her hand. "Where have you been, Rainie? I was so worried."
Rainie smiled. She did not say anything but instead patted Tommy's head.
She would keep the secret between Lanie and her. Tommy was too young to worry.
Seeing that Rainie did not speak, Tommy continued, "Did Ms. Luca bring you home?"
"How did you know?" Rainie looked at him suspiciously.
Tommy nodded. "I was so worried when I found out this morning that you didn't come home. I knowthat Ms. Luca is very amazing, so I borrowed Uncle Sean's phone and gave her a call. I told her thatyou had gone missing and asked her for help, and you're already back!"
Rainie widened her eyes slightly. "You were the one who informed Ms. Luca?"
"Yes! Is she really the one who brought you home?" Tommy nodded excitedly. He could tell that Lucawas involved in bringing his sister home.
"Yes." Rainie nodded. She began to wonder if Luca was really Bianca's friend when Tommy told herthat he was the one who asked Luca for help.
"It's really her! I have to thank her properly. I'll be back in my room to give her a video call!" Tommy saidexcitedly.
He happily opened the bedroom door and left.
Lanie closed the door and locked it. Then, he turned to look at his twin sister. "How are you feelingnow?"
"I'm fine, Lanie.” Rainie shook her head. She knew that he was worried about her, so she tried to showhim that she was fine.
"What happened last night, and how did you manage to get home today?" Lanie asked. Even thoughRainie had safely returned home, he knew that the incident was far from over.
Rainie told him everything that had happened since the night before. She also told him everything thatBianca said to her.
