Chapter 1038 Bianca's Whereabouts
The doctor did not know how to react when he heard that. Now that she thought about it, Leia's reasonfor her emotional distress was indeed different from other women. She guessed that she needed thebaby to retain her fiance.
"Do you know who that woman is?" The head nurse suddenly came over. As the leader of the nurses,she should not have been nosy, but she could not help but gossip when she overheard theconversation between the doctor and the nurse.
"I don't know, but she seems familiar,” the doctor said.
"I don't think you'd know her since you just got back from abroad. She used to be an actress that hasacted in many movies. However, that did nothing to boost her popularity. She retired from public viewfollowing an incident, but after that, there was the news that she would be married to Brody Hilton. Youshould know about the Hiltons, right? They're involved in international trade, and they're extremelywealthy. The baby should be her bargaining chip to enter the Hilton household, so that should be whyshe could not accept the fact that her baby is gone," the head nurse whispered.
The doctor instantly understood. "No wonder. She wants to reason with her fiance that the baby didn'tsurvive. Tsk tsk, it's not easy marrying into a wealthy family."novelbin
The nurse nodded. She remembered the wound on Jack’s hand, so she took the antiseptic and gauze."Isn't that so? Sometimes it's easier to live a normal life. I'll go in and administer the shot." "Go then.Forget what you heard earlier. Don't agitate the patient and her family's feelings," the head nursereminded her.
The nurse went into the ward. 'Til be administering the shot now, Ms. Norman."
Leia was lying on the bed. Her eyes sparkled when she saw the nurse. Once she received the shot,she would be able to leave the hospital." Quick, quick, I want to recover."
The nurse put the tray on the table and prepared the syringe. "It'll sting a little. You'll have to bear it."
Leia nodded and looked at her adoptive parents. She did not feel any guilt for injuring Jack.
Queenie’s tears flowed silently. She was sad when she thought of how Leia had acted earlier.
The ward was silent except for the rustling that came from the nurse's actions.
Luke came into the room and broke the silence.
"Luke!" Queenie wiped her tears and asked him anxiously, "Have you found Bea?"
Luke's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was frigid. When he saw Leia on the bed, he quickly walkedover as though he did not hear what Queenie said.
Leia felt a chill when she saw him advance upon her like the devil. She shuddered uncontrollably.
"Who were the ones who abducted Bianca?" Luke's voice was ice-cold. He wished that he couldstrangle her.
If not for her, Bianca would not have been abducted!
The police and bodyguards did not even find a hair even after combing the entire area. Only Leia knewwhere he went.
When he knew that Leia had regained consciousness, he instantly rushed over. He would have to findBianca as soon as he could...
"I don't know!" Leia shuddered again. She was already physically weak. When Luke glared at her likethat, she felt as though she had fallen into the abyss.
"I know a hundred different ways to make you speak, Leia. Don't make me," Luke warned. He wouldhave snapped her neck if not that she knew Bianca's whereabouts!
Leia was genuinely afraid. She knew that he meant what he said, especially after that time when hehad taken "special care" of her.
However, if she told him what happened to Bianca, she would suffer an even worse fate.
"How would I know? Go and ask the abductors. Why are you asking me?" Leia said insistently.
Luke narrowed her eyes. He could tell that Bianca's disappearance was related to her.
Leia glanced at her parents. They had no intention of helping her. She was on her own now.
She wiped her tears and continued to wail. "Am I that stupid? Why would I sacrifice my child if I wantedto set Bianca up? My child is gone, and Brody doesn't want me anymore. Am I that stupid, LukeCrawford? It's all your fault. It's all Bianca's fault. It's all your bodyguards' fault that my child is gone."
Ripley was standing aside. He could not help but chime in, "Ms. Norman, the doctor said that it'sbecause of the drug." "Bianca handed me that cup of water!" Leia said regretfully. She knew thatsomeone was trying to harm Bianca, yet she took the cup of water from her.
If she had not drunk from that cup, she would still have her baby, and now that Bianca was gone, shewould be the only Norman daughter. After marrying Brody, she would be swimming in riches.
It was all Bianca's fault!
Leia was resentful, but she dared not say too much.
Ripley had no retort to that. Bianca had indeed given her that cup of water, but no one expected thatthe water was drugged.
Seeing that Ripley did not speak, Leia felt more confident. "I'm heavily pregnant. If I'm plotting withsomeone else to harm Bianca, would I drink that water? Why shouldn't I stay away at a safe distance?"
Leia tried to prove her innocence in every sentence. Luke bent over and clenched her lower jaw.
"Have you lost your mind, Luke Crawford? Bianca's disappearance has nothing to do with me!" Leia'sface turned pale from the pain.
"Leia doesn't know anything. Don't be like that, Luke." Queenie was shocked. She was afraid that Lukewould do something to harm her daughter.
"I swear I'll get to the bottom of this, Leia." Luke loosened his grip and left the ward.
Leia slumped on the bed. When she heard his footsteps fade away in the distance, the tears that sheheld in her eyes finally fell.
Luke was terrifying.
Leia regretted helping Hera. It was not worth it at all, even though Bianca died in the process. Themore she thought about it, the more aggrieved she was. "Boo hoo hoo. Bianca's disappearance hasnothing to do with me, Mom."
Queenie’s heart wrenched. To her, Leia was also hurt in the process, so she should not be implicated inBianca's disappearance.
Jack watched all that without showing any emotion. Leia had tried her best to convince others that shewas innocent, but he could see that something was amiss.
He believed that Luke had seen it too.
The nurse stood there with the syringe. Leia seemed to have calmed down, or at least she did not havethe tendency to injure other people. Should she administer the shot?
She thought for a while but asked anyway, "Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, should I administer the shot?”
Jack glanced at the wound on his arm. "Yes."
The nurse nodded and said to Queenie, who was hugging Leia, "Would you like to step back for alittle? I'm administering a shot for your daughter."
Queenie nodded and patted Leia's head. "Be a good girl. You'll be fine." "Mm." Leia sniffled. She wasthinking that she would be looking for Brody
after the shot.
