Chapter 809 Impending Danger
6:30 p.m.
Luke Crawford originally wanted to work late into the night, but because of his grandfather's wordstoday, he felt uncomfortable mentally and left work early.
He previously thought that his father had a failed marriage and failed to deal with the relationshipbetween the elders and his mother until his death, causing the family to turn into a mess. Grandpamust hate the immoral act of abandoning one's wife more than anyone else.
However, he vastly underestimated his grandfather's ruthless nature as a businessman.
He only had his own best interests at heart. He would ultimately be inhumane to achieve his goal.
Perhaps his father, Zachary, inherited the least genes from his grandfather's side.
It was peak hour. There was heavy traffic on all roads. Luke drove the plainest BMW he had, andinstead of feeling relaxed like his usual self, he was anxious.
For some reason, his right eyelid had been twitching frequently the entire day. He had a hunch thatsomething bad was about to happen.
It’s said that a woman's sixth sense is incredibly accurate, but a man's intuition is sometimescomparable to a woman's sixth sense.
Under normal circumstances, Luke was a patient man, whether it be work or life. When driving, hewould always be completely focused on the road. Rarely would he feel anxious and impatient. At thismoment, however, he was tempted to drive his car directly through the jam and immediately get toBianca.
He left work early today and kept it a secret from Bianca, wanting to give her a surprise. He had beenreally busy with work lately. He sometimes even slept in his office. He barely had any time toaccompany her.
Seeing that the traffic was still bad, Luke could not help but furiously honk.
His behavior drew the attention of many drivers and passersby.
However, Luke did not care at all. 'Damn it, when will this stupid traffic clear up?!’ he thought to himself.
While he was waiting restlessly, his phone rang. It was from Bianca.
The woman's characteristic gentle voice was heard. "Luke, you're still busy, right? Mom's depressionseems to have returned. She wants to see our children very much, so I'm on my way to Grandma'shouse with them right now. Just thought I should let you know so you won't worry."
Luke was shocked and clenched his phone tightly. "Bea, where are you and the children now? Did yougo out with the bodyguards?"
Bianca smiled lightly. "Yes, I did. Don’t worry, Luke! I'm extra careful these days whenever I go out. I’llalways be accompanied by bodyguards when I'm outside. Right now, they're sitting in front while thekids and I are in the backseat. The traffic is a bit bad, though. I might only reach around eight..."
Luke still felt a little uneasy. "Send me your location now. I'll follow your car and join you to go visitMom." "Okay."
Bianca's pale, slender finger tapped on the screen. She opened her WhatsApp and sent her location toLuke.
She was near Westin Hotel.
Luke's stern eyes flashed upon seeing the location. He rolled down the car window and looked in thatdirection.
He could see from afar the dazzling neon sign of Westin Hotel.
Bianca was not too far away from where he was. Maybe about a mile away. It was just that they wereseparated by so much busy traffic, so he had no idea how long they would have to wait.
He immediately called Bianca back. "Bea, I’m now less than a mile away from you. If your car leavesfirst, wait for me at Forest Park's east gate. It's less congested over there. I’ll follow you in my car tovisit Mom." "Got it, Luke. The traffic's very heavy now, so be careful, okay? I'll wait for you there atForest Park," Bianca warmly replied.
"Mm."
Luke still felt uneasy even after hanging up the call.
For some reason, he constantly felt like he was being watched. He had no idea why he was feeling likethis, but it felt like the Grim Reaper was staring at him, his wife, and his kids at all times. It sent chillsdown his spine.
Whenever he inspected his surroundings to see who was looking, he could never find anyone.
It made Luke feel like he was losing control.
He looked at the busy traffic and closed his eyes for a second. Once the traffic eased up a bit, he wouldbe able to meet with his wife and son. They should not be in any danger. Hopefully, he was just beingparanoid.
On the other end, in the opposite direction about a mile away from Luke, Bianca and three of theirchildren were trapped in a black car.
Bianca had just hung up the phone.
Due to her poor health, Queenie Zeigler had been losing her appetite for some time. Plus she wasoverly worried about her own affairs. It previously took her quite some effort to suppress her depressionbut it had reared its ugly head once more. She had been hospitalized twice, making Bianca extremelyworried.
The other day, due to T Corporation’s tense situation, Luke was afraid that they would encountermisfortune when they went out. Hence, he restricted them from going out. It made her really anxious,but she continued to visit her mother secretly.
The situation was now much better. Plus, her mother wanted to see her three smart and cutegrandchildren, so Bianca decided to take them out to meet their grandmother, which was why shecalled Luke earlier to explain the situation.
In the car, little Tommy rubbed his chubby belly and acted all spoiled."
Mommy, I'm hungry, my little belly is becoming flat..." "Hang in there, baby. Let me see if there are anysnacks left in the bag to fill up your tummy."
Bianca coaxed her little son and then began to rummage her bag for snacks.
There was nothing but a few packaged sandwich cookies. Bianca handed the snacks to Tommy. "Baby,we'll have dinner when we reach Grandma's house, so just hang in there for now, okay?"
Tommy gladly took the sandwich cookies and quickly devoured them." Yum... These cookies taste sogood. But I want Grandma's honey roast chicken and fried mushrooms..."
Rainie quietly sat in the backseat, playing with the bun on her head. She was wearing a white princessdress.
Noticing her little brother's excitement over food, she glanced at his round little belly with contempt...
"You little rascal. All you ever know is eat, eat, eat. You're gonna turn into a round ball if you keepeating like this! Mommy, Big Brother and I are so thin, but why do we have a fat little brother? Will heturn into a big fat man if he keeps eating like this?"
Bianca could not help but pat her daughter's little head. "Silly girl, you and your big brother werechubby too when you two were little. You grew up and became thin like a stick. Little Tommy will be thinjust like you when he’s your age now.’’
Rainie cooed, somewhat incredulously, "Really, Mommy...?"
Lanie looked at the loving and warm scene of his mother and siblings. He smiled without saying aword.novelbin
At this time, the mother and her children were immersed in joy. They had no clue about the impendingdanger that was about to befall them...
