Female Novel
Chapter 652
Chapter 652 She Is Jack and Queenie's Daughter!
Bianca had never expected that the almighty Luke Crawford would leave the mortal world so abruptly.She could not accept that fact.
"Please sign here, Mrs. Crawford." Mr. Todd handed Bianca a pen, seeing that she had no response.
Bianca took the pen woodenly and stared blankly at the document.
Her face displayed pain, agony, and then anger. She was angry that the man might have known that hewas going to be in mortal danger, and that was why he had enacted a will before he left.
She knew that Luke was loyal to his friends, but could he have spared a thought for her and thechildren?
Was that how he was going to make it up to them?
No!
He should have returned safely and let Bianca complain to him, not leave her alone to process theshocking news!
Bianca threw the pen away angrily and yelled hysterically, "Get lost! Go away! How dare he leave thechildren and me behind? How could he? I don't need any so-called compensation from him! Not asingle cent!"
The atmosphere in the ward instantly became frigid.
Queenie held Bianca’s shoulders and said calmly, "Don't get too agitated, Bianca. Don't let it affect yourbaby. You can't afford to have anything go wrong with your health now."
Then, she turned to speak to Jason, "Bianca isn't in a stable condition now. Can the signing wait for afew days?"
Jason nodded and bowed slightly to Bianca. "I'll come and visit another day. Please take care of yourhealth. If Boss is still around, he wouldn't want to see you give up on yourself."
Then, he waved to the two lawyers, and the three people swiftly disappeared from the ward.
After they left, Queenie saw that Bianca was staring blankly at the sky like a puppet. Her eyesglistened, then she helped Bianca lie on the bed and said gently, "Bea, if you're feeling tired, you cannap for a bit."
Bianca laid mechanically on the bed. She felt extremely tired.
The moment she closed her eyes, that handsome face appeared in her mind.
He stood there in the darkness, looking at her.
The man's gaze was ice-cold, but it was warm and brilliant when he looked at her.
After Bianca was discharged from the hospital, she went back to the mansion to pack up her clothes.She was going to stay over at the Norman residence for a few days.
When she entered her bedroom, she saw Luke's pajamas folded neatly on the bed. He was wearingthose clothes the night before he went to Moscow.novelbin
She slowly walked over, picked up the clothes, held them close to her chest, and gently sniffed them.
She could smell that familiar masculine scent in those clothes.
Her gaze fell on the vines that had crept near the window. Those were mandevilla vines that Luke hadplanted for her. She had said that she wanted flowers that bloomed in all seasons, especially vines that
climbed on walls and adorned the windows.
That was why he planted four mandevilla plants without the help of the gardener or the caretakers.
The vines were as thick as her wrist, the green leaves had formed a dense web, and the red and whiteflowers were in full bloom. It was a lively scene.
The plants were still there, but the man who had planted them was gone.
Bianca tried to keep in her emotions as she stepped into the bathroom.
All his toiletries - His toothbrush and cup, his toothpaste, his razor, and so on, were neatly arranged inthere.
Luke was a clean freak and somewhat obsessive-compulsive. His belongings were neatly arranged,while hers were slightly messy. Whenever he saw that, he would tidy them up for her.
Bianca stared at their matching cups for a long time before washing her face with cold water.
She had not washed her face for several days. Queenie or the nurses wiped it.
She felt lethargic because she had not been eating much.
Then, she took a quick hot-water shower.
The water was warm and mixed with her tears. She did not know if she was bathing herself with wateror tears.
After the shower, she stepped out of the bathroom with a head full of wet hair.
She stood alone in the unheated room as she operated the hairdryer.
When Luke was at home, he would be the one drying her hair.
After that, Bianca opened her closet. It was filled to the brim with clothes for the fall season. Luke hadcustom-made them from a tailor. The designs were all unique.
With him around, she never had to worry about what to wear.
His clothes were pathetically few when compared to hers. His closet was one-tenth the size of hers.
She picked a fall-style one-piece loose waist dress with a conservative design and the buttons at theback. When Bianca tried it on, she remembered that Luke gasped at her beauty and helped her fastenthe buttons.
Of course, he had taken the chance to fondle her back, which made her embarrassed.
After putting the dress on, she tried to fasten the buttons behind her.
Her bulky stomach prevented her from doing so.
She could still feel Luke's warm and slender fingers gliding down her back and his resonant voicetickling her ears.
"When are you coming back, Luke? Help me put the dress on..." Bianca mumbled.
There was no reply. It was a stark reminder that Luke was gone.
Bianca's heart wrenched again. She was suddenly overcome by lethargy, and she started sobbingagain.
I really, really miss you, Luke. Please come home soon.'
Before she set off for the Norman residence, Bianca looked at herself in the mirror again. She noticedthat her face was as pale as a ghost, and her gaze was hollow and lifeless. She put on some simplemakeup to add some color to her face, then left the house.
The Norman family driver was waiting for her outside her mansion. The two did not say anything on thedrive there.
Everyone in the Norman family was there: Old Mr. and Mrs. Norman, Jack, Queenie, and even Leia.There were also two young people of Bianca's age there.
Jack's usually stern eyes brimmed with emotion when he saw Bianca.
That was his daughter, born out of his and Queenie's love!
