Chapter 136 Luke Asked Her If She Was On Her Period
She cried in Luke's arms for a long, long time until the surrounding crickets quieted down. Bianca hadtired herself from crying and felt a faint soreness in her lower abdomen and lower back, i
It was a feeling that she had for years which she experienced once every month.
Only this time, it seemed to have come many days in advance.
When a woman's body did not get enough rest, the body would react abnormally, and that includedhaving irregular periods.
Bianca withdrew from his arms. She was anxious and embarrassed. She squeezed out the warm tearsfrom her eyes.
When Luke's chest suddenly felt empty, he looked sadly at her and asked, "Should we head back to ACity or continue looking around the town? Does Grandpa have any relatives in town?"
He would respect any decision she made.
"Grandpa doesn't have any relatives in town..."
Bianca suddenly thought that if Grandpa really ran away from home, he would never return to town.
When she thought about it, she started worrying about Grandpa being in danger.
All the horrible images flooded into her mind all at once.
Luke seemed to know what she was thinking and stepped forward. He combed down her messy hairwhile she cried in his arms. "No news is good news. If anything happened to Grandpa, someonewould’ve told the police by now."
Bianca looked up at him, instinctively believing every word he said.
Without her knowing it, she relied on him wholeheartedly.
"Really. Trust me." Luke's deep eyes looked into her fragile eyes.
Bianca nodded. 'It'll be okay. Grandpa will be okay.'
It was as if telling herself that over and over again would make Grandpa be safe...
"Get in the car. Let's head back to A City." Luke placed his big arm on her left shoulder and led her tothe car.
However, Bianca suddenly stopped and thought about it. She said, "Wait here. I need to go to thesupermarket to buy some things. Don't follow me."
After she said that, she left.
It was dark everywhere with no street lights around. The only light source was the moonlight.
Bianca did not dare not to get into his car straight away because she was afraid that she would stainhis car seat. Furthermore, she knew that her period was only going to get
heavier with time...
Luke stood tall and straight at the gate like a night knight who had just landed on earth.
In front of him was his parked black Range Rover.
Luke stared at her thin figure walking toward the supermarket. He did not hold back and followed herin.
The Raynes’ old house was some distance away from the supermarket. Since it had been a long timesince she was back in the small town, she was a little unfamiliar with the place now despite it being herhometown.
Luke could not bear seeing her figure leave his sight.
When she arrived at the supermarket, Bianca took out her cell phone and turned on the flashlight tolook for the supermarket doorbell.
In small towns like Luojiazhen, supermarkets usually closed after nine.
No one came that early unless it was for urgent matters.
"Why isn't there a doorbell?" Bianca muttered anxiously while searching for it.
Luke approached, reached out his arm, and knocked on the door.
"Anyone there?"
The man's voice was magnetic, and he quickly heard the owner inside asking, "It's the middle of thenight. Who is it?" "We’re here to buy some things. Can you open the door for us..." Bianca said first.
Luke's cold and hard voice was able to wake up the owner, but perhaps the owner would not dare toopen the door to such a scary voice.
When the owner heard that there was also a girl, the owner put on a robe and opened the door forthem.
The owner was a middle-aged woman, and she looked up at the two people outside the door.
"You don't look like locals." The owner hesitated whether to close the door on them.
"I need to buy something," Bianca said. She turned around and said to Luke, "Stand outside and waitfor me. Don't come in."
Luke did not go in.
Bianca took out her money and bought a pack of sanitary pads.
After the female owner collected the money, she showed her out. It was the middle of the night andthey were two non -locals. Even though the girl looked beautiful and harmless, she still had to be onher guard.
"Excuse me, may I use the toilet?" Bianca asked for help.
"Toilet?" The female owner refused loudly. "No! Go somewhere else!"
After she said that, she drove her out.
Bianca had no choice but to leave the supermarket.
Even though she had bought her pads, there was no place for her to put one on...
Luke lit a cigarette outside the door, took a puff, and looked back at her. He asked, "What's thematter?"
Bianca looked at the distance. There were no lights around except for the guest house.
"What's the matter?" Luke suddenly became serious and found that she had been acting mysteriouslysince going to the supermarket. He felt that she was deliberately hiding something from him.
"It's nothing. Let's go to the guest house," Bianca said, shoving the sanitary pads into her pocket.
Luke grabbed one of her wrists and brought her in front of him. He used his other hand to grab thething out from her denim shorts' small pocket to see what it was.
It was a pack of daily ultra-thin sanitary pads.
With a cigarette in Luke's mouth, he squinted his eyes and looked at her. "You're on your period?"
"I..." Bianca's cheeks flushed as she lowered her head.
'How does he find everything out?
'And he just says it straight out bluntly.'
Luke returned the pads to her. He said in a deadpan voice as he ordered her, "At special times likethese, I hope you rest well. If you continue running around and working too hard, you'll burn yourselfout."
The man walked in front while she walked behind as he pulled her by her wrist toward the guest house.
Since it was a small town, there was only that one small guest house.
After checking in, she put on her pad in the bathroom while he waited outside. He stood outside thebathroom and waited because he was worried that the other guests from the other rooms wouldfrighten her if they came to use the bathroom.
"Let’s stay here for a night. Jason has already arranged for someone to guard your neighborhood andyour place to look out for Grandpa. The moment we find out anything about him, we'll be notifiedimmediately," Luke said to her while she was inside the bathroom. However, he was also worried thatshe would not be able to rest well, so he had to lie. "Also, I don't think I can drive anymore. I don't wantto get us into an accident from me driving lethargically."
There was nothing for Bianca to refute. As such, she agreed to stay in the town for a night.novelbin
After he sent Bianca back to their room, Luke went out to ask the owner for simple toiletries to be sentto the room. While she showered, he asked the owner to make a warm supper as well.
In order to make some money, the owner quickly put down her cell phone poker game that she wasplaying and happily ran to the kitchen to make some porridge.
"Is there anything that your wife doesn't eat?" the lady owner came out and asked.
Luke thought for a while and said solemnly, "She's on her period, so avoid those things that she's notsupposed to have while on it."
The lady owner was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, got it. No worries."
Luke nodded back. "Thank you."
After a while, the lady owner's husband came into the kitchen while the lady owner prepared anutritious bowl of porridge. She whispered, "Look how gentlemanly, polite, and considerate he is to hiswife. Meanwhile, you incompetent stinking man just nag at your wife all day long."
After eating the hot porridge, Bianca's stomach felt better.
Even though there was only one room and the two of them had to share the same bed, she believedthat he would not do anything to her with Grandpa missing.
Therefore, she was able to close her eyes peacefully and finally get the rest she desperately longed for.
When it was around three in the morning, she was sound asleep.
Luke's hot body enveloped her as he held her in his arms.
Since she had just started her period cycle, it made her body cold and weak. Her body automaticallyyearned for a warm place. Before she knew it, she was huddled up in his arms.
Luke did not sleep a wink because he was worried about her. His warm and rough left hand stretchedout into her shirt to warm up her lower abdomen. He wanted to help her keep warm so that she wasable to sleep better.
