Chapter 757 The Man Who Spent That Night With You Was Me
Outside the window, it suddenly rained heavily and the sound of thunder rang through the sky,sounding like the devil's roar.
Inside the clean white ward, however, it was unbelievably quiet.
The soft wall lamp shone on the person on the hospital bed.
Bianca, who was on the bed, had an extremely pale complexion. She looked haggard, frail, and listlessas if she had lost too much blood.
Queenie held her hand and looked at her daughter's lifeless face, sighing incessantly.
Jack stood by the side, quietly looking at his daughter's troubled sleeping face. His face, which hadalways looked vigorous, seemed as if it had weathered through blows of attacks.
When Luke came in, he saw Queenie wiping the tears on Bianca's face and Jack standing by the side.
He felt incredibly bad as he greeted them, "Dad, Mom."
Jack nodded at him and shifted his focus away from him soon after. His attitude was a bit cold. "Comehere." 1
He resented Luke.
He could not bear to let his baby girl, whom he had only found after great difficulty, suffer any harm.However, she had suffered through so much while she was with Luke. Even if Jack admired the youngman who stood in front of him, it did not mean that he did not care about all that his daughter hadsuffered.
Luke looked at Bianca on the hospital bed and the anxious fire in his eyes was obvious. "Whathappened to Bea? Why is she suddenly hospitalized?"
Queenie wiped her red eyes and said to Luke, ' Bianca has been in a bad mental state for a while andthe doctor said that she might be depressed, which is directly affecting her body. Her period was tendays late and it suddenly came all at once. We didn't expect that it would be so violent. We couldn’tstop the bleeding, so we had to send her to the hospital. My
daughter has mild depression now, and I, as a mother, didn't even notice it. It's my fault for not beingobservant enough..."
Fortunately, the doctor found out that she was not pregnant. 2
If her daughter were really pregnant, based on her current temperament, her desire to kill herself wouldonly grow and her depression would become worse.
Luke's body trembled for a moment, and his face, which was initially still, suddenly looked stunned. Itwas followed by a strong feeling of guilt." Mom, I'm sorry..."
He clenched his fists, and his eyes were scarlet.
It was all his fault. If he had not made such a mess, Bianca would not have gone through this mentaltorture. She would not have been hospitalized.
Queenie did not know that Luke was responsible for this and simply thought that he felt guilty for nottaking better care of Bianca.
She gently advised him, "Oh, Luke. I don’t know how long you and Bea haven't been speaking, but thischild is very sensitive. You know how obsessive she gets about things, especially when it comes to thepeople she loves the most or is the closest to. She's just throwing a tantrum, that’s all.
"I believe you know better than anyone about how my daughter feels about you. You know the sayingthat a husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when a disaster strikes, they fly their own way? Evenso, when you were gone, Bea never left or gave up on the Crawford family. She used her own strengthto carry all the burdens you left behind. Now that you're back and your days are only getting better,what is there that the two of you can't work out?"
Jack shot a fierce look at Luke. "I don't know how much space my daughter takes up in your heart, butin the Norman family, she’s my and my wife’s beloved daughter, our baby girl. Luke, if it weren't for yourmarriage certificate, I would've taken my daughter away! Don't think you can do whatever you want justbecause you have that certificate. Let me tell you, if my daughter says that she doesn't want to be withyou anymore, I’ll do everything I can to bring her back to the Norman family!"
Luke said sincerely, "Dad, Mom, it's really my fault this time, so I have to apologize to you. I really loveBea, so give me a chance. If I let her get hurt again, you can take her away from the Crawford familyanytime... Mom, you and Dad should go home first. I'll stay at the hospital tonight and take care ofBea."
Queenie hesitated. "I'd rather wait..."
However, Jack held her hand and gave her a look. "Queen, let's go home first. Since you're not wellyourself, you can't let our daughter's illness make things worse. Let's just give him a chance to showwhat he can do so that this won't ever happen again!"novelbin
Queenie thought for a while, and in the end, she nodded. Before she left, she made it a point to explainto Luke, "Luke, if you have anything to say to Bea, just tell her. Communicate. Don’t act on youremotions. Call us if you need anything." "Got it, Mom."
After Jack and his wife left, Luke stood by the hospital bed and held Bianca's cold little hand.
Dense raindrops splattered in through the unclosed window.
Luke stood up and closed the window tightly.
Lightning suddenly flashed across the night sky and was followed by a loud boom. It sounded as if anatomic bomb had exploded in the quiet night!
Luke subconsciously furrowed his brows. When he turned his head, he saw Bianca, who was initially ina deep sleep, slightly furrowing her dark brows.
The woman's long eyelashes trembled slightly. They were so delicate and looked so timid.
The man laid his long and slender fingers on her face, his coarse fingertips roaming her delicatecheeks as if to drive away her restlessness and palpitations.
The man's magnetic voice softly called out in her ear. "Bea..."
The low voice that trembled with guilt traveled to Bianca's ears. Her eyelids fluttered as her eyes slowlyopened.
Luke was so happy and emotional that he reached his big hand out and took her into his arms."Darling, you're awake?"
Bianca only felt as though she was in a half-dream half-reality state. Her head hurt so much like it wasgoing to explode as her eyes wandered around the room.
At first, everything in front of her eyes was hazy.
When her hot forehead was covered by a pair of large, cool hands, she came back to her senses.
Bianca opened her mouth, but her voice was hoarse, "You..."
Luke kissed her lips and massaged her temples with an appropriate force." Darling, you're still weak, soyou don't have to say anything. The doctor said that because you've been in a bad mental state for awhile, your physiological functions can't work properly. That caused you to be late for your period andresulted in excessive bleeding. Just rest well and don't think too much. It's all my fault, I'm sorry."
He was very good at massaging, and he had a faint manly scent that lingered around Bianca. Itgradually made her relax and her whole body felt comfortable as though she was floating on a fluffycloud.
However, Bianca did enjoy this. Instead, the guilt inside her heart became heavier.
This man was so unconditionally kind to her, yet she had betrayed him...
Bianca hesitated again and again before she finally mustered up the courage to tell the truth about thatnight. "Luke, actually... Actually, that night, I..."
Luke interrupted her and held her little face so that her eyes were facing his. "I want to confesssomething to you. That night in the hotel, you were drugged. The man you did it with all night was me."1
