Chapter 1034 What Happened to Bianca?
Queenie's face turned pale instantly. When she received the call, she only got to know that somethinghappened to Leia. The phone call did not mention anything about Bianca at all. She grabbed Luke’ssleeves and asked him, "What are you talking about, Luke?"
Jack was also anxious when he heard that something happened to Bianca. "What happened toBianca?" He asked anxiously.
Luke's eyes were bloodshot. "Bianca was abducted at the bridal boutique."
When Queenie heard that, her eyes glazed over, and she fainted into Jack's arms.
"Queenie? Queenie?" Jack hugged her and shook her, but she gave no response.
When the medical staff saw that, they immediately brought a gurney and took Queenie to theemergency ward. Jack had never faced such a situation before, and he hurriedly followed the nursesin. It was only when he turned around to look that he realized Luke did not come along.
"Luke... Sigh!" The nurses closed the curtains and blocked Jack's view. Not sure of what else he coulddo, he gave a call to his secretary to investigate the incident at the bridal boutique.
A while later, a nurse hurriedly rushed over. "Excuse me, are you Leia Norman's immediate family?" "Iam her father. What is it?" Jack's arms were akimbo. Usually, he would remain composed when facedwith big problems, but he could not calm himself down now.
"The patient is going into shock. We need familial consent before we undergo induced labor to save theadult's life," the nurse explained Leia's condition briefly.
"Induced labor?" Jack frowned. Leia's baby was only seven months old. Would the child survive?
"Yes, you'll have to give your consent now. Every minute delayed poses an extra risk for the patient."The nurse frowned. Leia's situation was dire.
Jack rubbed his chin. "Can the baby be saved?" "We would not give up any chance of saving the baby,but the situation isn't looking good. We cannot even detect the heartbeat. That's why we have to inducelabor so that we increase the survival chances of the mother," the nurse said. She could not guaranteethat the baby was still alive.
Jack finally understood what the nurse was telling her. The baby was most likely gone. If he did notmake up his mind now, Leia would be gone too.
Leia might have gone overboard, but she was nonetheless his daughter for twenty years. He did notwant her to be in danger.
"Prepare the document. Ill sign it," Jack said decisively. Even though Leia and Brody were about to bemarried, they had not registered their marriage, so from a legal standpoint, Jack was Leia's immediatefamily.
The nurse nodded and led the way. "Please follow me."novelbin
Jack glanced at the emergency ward. Queenie was still unconscious. He had no choice but to followthe nurse and sign the consent form.
After that, Jack went back to the emergency room and saw Queenie being wheeled out.
"How is my wife?" Jack rushed up and held Queenie's hand.
"She had fainted from a great psychological shock. Well send her to the ward for now. She'll wake upsoon," the emergency doctor said.
"Alright. Thank you, doctor." Jack followed them.
The doctor roughly knew what was going on with their family. "Mr. Norman, your daughter is still in anoperation. I'll help you look after Mrs. Norman, and you should go and wait at the operating theater.Well inform you immediately if there's an emergency."
Jack nodded. He was too concerned about Queenie, and so he neglected Leia.
"Alright. Thank you, doctor. If my wife wakes up, you can tell her that I'm at the operating theater."
"Of course." The doctor and the nurses wheeled Queenie into the elevator.
Jack went to the operating theater to wait. On the way to sign the consent form, he had alreadyinformed Brody that his child was at the risk of being born prematurely. He did not tell him that Leia wasin danger too.
Brody did not come even after he knew about it. Jack looked at the time. It had been almost half anhour.
Meanwhile, Luke rushed over to the bridal boutique. The police had been informed, and several policeofficers were collecting evidence at the scene.
"Boss! I've failed to protect Madam. Please punish me as you see fit," Ripley said when he saw Luke.He felt guilty for failing to protect Bianca and was ready to lose his job.
Luke glared at Ripley with an ice-cold gaze. "What did you find?" "All the surveillance cameras wereout of commission. The police are looking for evidence now," Ripley said. His head was still throbbingfrom the effects of the sedative.
The forensics officer had taken his blood sample for analysis.
"Did you see who they were?" Luke clenched his fists. Despite the severity of the incident, theabductors did not make a mess out of the place to subdue his four bodyguards. At the same time,
Bianca was brought away without much of a struggle.
His eyes turned bloodshot when he thought of Bianca, as though he would go berserk at any time. Hewould not forgive anyone who tried to harm his beloved woman.
"They're three Europeans. We managed to see two of them, and the police have already made a facialcomposite. Sean managed to see the other one, but he's sent to the operating theater before a facialcomposite could be done," Ripley reported.
"Check the roadside surveillance cameras," Luke said. After the police collected evidence, they cameup to Luke. "Mr. Crawford, please follow us back to the police station." "Yes. I'd like to talk to thesuperintendent too," Luke said coldly and turned away.
After Ripley saw Luke and the police officers leave, he made a phone call to the city council to obtainthe security footage from the roadside surveillance cameras.
Usually, civilians would not have access to the security footage. However, the victim was BiancaRayne, Luke Crawford's wife. The news had already spread before the police announced anything.
The other party understood when Ripley name-dropped Luke. Soon, Ripley received the footage in hismailbox.
On the way to the police station, Luke received a phone call from Gordan.
"I’ve found something. Are you free to come over?" Gordan said.
"Something happened to Bianca. I'm heading to the police station. I'll leave that to you for now," Lukesaid.
Gordan was shocked. "What happened to Sis?" "Someone abducted her." Luke watched the greentraffic light turn red and had the urge to run the light.
"How brazen! Do you need any help?" Gordan said.
"Not for now. I'm heading to the police station." Luke ended the call. The red light turned green. Seeingthat the cars in front of him were slow to move, Luke blared his horn impatiently.
After parking his car at the police station, Luke went straight to the superintendent's office.
The superintendent was already informed of Bianca's abduction. He immediately stood up when hesaw Luke come into his office. "Please have a seat, Mr. Crawford. I've already instructed mysubordinates to prepare you a copy of our investigative findings."
