Chapter 100 Why Are You Hiding From Something You've Touched Before?
When things got to that point, Allison forced herself to straighten up and not be scared.
She had gone through decades of misery and hardship. There was nothing she was afraid of.
When she got upstairs and headed to her son's room, Allison saw an extra bed in the room right away.Old Master Crawford was sitting next to Bianca on the bed.
"What happened to your grandpa, Bea? I heard that he coughed up some blood." Allison lookednervous as she walked over and put down her luxury leather bag.
"It's his high blood pressure. Stress and anxiety worsened it. He has to rest well and not get mad. If hegets angry, his life might be in danger," the alarmist Old Master Crawford said.
Although it seemed as if Old Master Crawford was talking to Allison, his words were directed at Bianca.
Old Man Rayne was sleeping. He was getting older, and his body needed to rest more. He must notmiss a nap.
"Shouldn’t he go to the hospital?" Allison asked incomprehensibly.
"The hospital's environment isn't good for him. Our family doctor is always on call. It's better for him toheal at home. Besides, his body can't handle moving around at this moment,’ said Old MasterCrawford.
When Allison saw how it was, she looked at Bianca. "Bea, come with me."
Bianca had to get up and follow Allison out of the room.
Even if she wanted to fight about it, she could not do it in the room. The doctor said that with Grandpa'scurrent situation, he must not get angry at all.
After Allison walked out of the room, she turned around in front of her while she gritted her teeth. "Whatthe hell are you and your grandfather up to?! Coughing up blood? It seems pretty convenient that hestarts coughing up blood after moving into our house."
"What ideas do you have to stop my grandpa from coughing up blood? I'm happy to hear them!" Biancawas furious.
'How could a woman like Allison exist on this planet?!"
Allison started raging and pointed at Bianca. "You don't want jewelry worth millions of dollars. You don’twant money, but I know that you're trying to put out a long line to catch the biggest fish! How can yoube so shameless at such a young age?! How can you bring your grandfather to stay with us and refuseto leave?!" i
After she cursed her, Allison looked around and continued, "I want to see your grandpa cough so muchblood that he dies. When you finally come to collect his body, I want to see you eat your words!"
"I hope you have some morals left. At any rate, my dad’s the son of the man in the room who coughedup blood. He accepted you and helped you when you were abandoned." Bianca was sad that she hadsuch a biological mother.
If she could, she would rather not know who her biological mother was for the rest of her life.
"Bea, your grandpa's awake!" Old Master Crawford was standing at the door, calling to Bianca in thehallway.
Allison, who was still full of anger, changed her expression into an empathetic one. She raised herhand and patted Bianca's black hair. She said to the old man, "I'm almost done with her, Dad. I'm justcomforting Bea."novelbin
Old Master Crawford was hoping that Bea would get along with her in-laws when she got married.When the old man saw how well Allison was treating her, he felt at ease.
Old Master Crawford said to Old Man Rayne who was regaining consciousness, "Bea is talking to herfuture mother-in-law outside.
Allison's a very domineering person, but she isn't that way with people she likes. By all means, I thinkBea is getting along well with my daughter-in- law."
'Allison'
Old Man Rayne asked, "What's Allison’s maiden name?’
'Tanner.”
Old Master Crawford did not think it was a big deal.
Old Man Rayne frowned and recalled the woman who had played his son back then. He recalled thatshe had the same name...
After his son got a divorce, he got drunk. When he was home, he would not stop saying how AllisonTanner abandoned him and their child, and how she ran away with a rich man.
'The Crawford family is very rich!’
The more Old Man Rayne thought about it, the more frightened he became. The sweat on his foreheadwas no longer from being feverish, but it had become cold sweat instead. His lips trembled as he
looked at Luke who was sleeping on the next bed.
When Bianca came back, she saw that Grandpa was sweating, so she hurriedly wrung out the toweland wiped his forehead carefully.
At lunchtime, the nanny got a wheelchair.
Old Man Rayne was put in a wheelchair and pushed to the dining table.
When they were at the dining table, Allison realized Old Man Rayne was looking at her from time totime which made her shake with fright.
Did the old man recognize her?
'It can't be!' When he came here yesterday, he did not recognize her. That meant that Kevin did notshow her picture to his family back then. 'So why does the old man suddenly recognize me after Biancacame to the house?'
Allison looked maliciously at Bianca who was helping the nanny serve everyone pasta and guessed.'Did Bianca get so mad that she could not help it and ended up telling the old man about it?'
Allison felt as if something was stuck in her throat.
Before Old Man Rayne picked up the tableware, he said intermittently, "Our old home is about to bedemolished. Something about building a tourist spot... Sigh. I haven't had my fill of staying in that oldtown yet..."
Allison's heart skipped a beat again.
'Why is he suddenly mentioning Luojiazhen?'
Old Master Crawford answered, "That place has low economic conditions. Once they demolish andrebuild it, it’ll be a brand new look. People of our age shouldn't be too reluctant to give up the place. Wereally need to support the younger generation who are rebuilding the place.”
Blanche raised his head and asked, "Great-grandpa, do you know that place too? Is it fun? I want to gothere!"
"People at my age most likely have been there before." Old Master Crawford patted his little great-grandson's head.
Old Man Rayne asked Allison, "What about people your age? I’m guessing you've never been to asmall place like Luojiazhen, right...?"
Allison did not dare to pick up the cutleries. Her fingers were trembling, so she could only hide herhands under the table. With a calm smile on her face, she said, "I've never been there. This is the firsttime I’ve heard of it. But I'm sure small towns have their charms. From what you say, I'm sure the airquality is very good with all the hills and lakes there."
Bianca fed Lanie and Rainie each some meatballs while she listened to Allison lying with a straightface. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she mocked Allison inside her head.
"Bea, I’ve told the maid to prepare two servings of pasta. You should go upstairs to eat with Luke.Since he's sick, I'm afraid that he won't eat much by himself." Old Master Crawford suggested.
Bianca wanted to refuse, but her grandpa coughed loudly while clutching his chest. He said withdifficulty, "Go on. Go and eat with Luke. Don't make me angry..."
When Bianca took the food over from the maid, she went upstairs unwillingly.
The stairs were covered with carpet, and her soft slippers made it so that it was silent when she walkedupstairs. The only sound that could be heard was her shallow breathing.
When she walked to the door with their food, Bianca raised her eyes and was stunned to seesomething that would give her a nosebleed...
Luke had taken off his dark dressing gown and was naked. He threw the dressing gown on the edge ofthe messy bed. His back was turned away from the door as he reached into his closet to find a shirt.
Bianca got so shocked that she hid behind the door with the food.
However, she could not help but play the image of the man with a belt in his hands and his muscular,well-proportioned, and strong body.
Meanwhile, the curvature of his back was where she had touched and scratched while he was pressedagainst her body...
’It’s not like you've never seen it before. Why are you hiding from something you’ve touched before?"The man's cold voice was suddenly heard.
