Chapter 1198 Luke Was Wrapped Around Luca's Fingers
"Yeah." Luke looked at Bianca. The light from the dressing table illuminated her side profile. She lookeddelicate and flawless.
However, no matter how he looked at her, he was not spellbound by her as he used to be.
He did not believe that time could change his love for Bianca, but it was true that he was no longerinfatuated with her.
"What's the matter with you? Why do you look so serious?" Bianca narrowed her eyebrows andobserved his expression.
Luke's expressionless face did not carry a tinge of warmth, and it made her feel uneasy.
"It's nothing to worry about." His expression was still cold and indifferent.
Bianca stood up and tried to approach him when she suddenly heard him ask, "Why did you go toWatson Biopharmaceuticals today?" "You found out..." Bianca lowered her eyes slightly to show anaggrieved expression. She knew Luke would find out since she had paid off Mo.
Her goal was achieved. Luke was aware that she went to Watson Biopharmaceuticals to look for Luca.
Bianca said, "I went to Watson Biopharmaceuticals to look for Ms. Ivana. I wanted to apologize to herfor the news that broke out. I felt horrible that I caused a lot of trouble for her-" "She didn't know thatyou're involved," Luke said.
Bianca was uncomfortable with how Luke was wrapped around Luca's fingers. 'She didn't know? Howcould she not know?! Ivana was the first to know!’ "That might be true but she's an employee of WatsonBiopharmaceuticals, after all. If she pursued it any further and found the reporter, she would've found
out about everything then. I took the initiative to look for her and sincerely apologized in case things gotworse,” Bianca said.
"Luke, I'm sorry for what I did, but please know that I only did it because of how much I love you. Ibelieve you. I know nothing is going on between you and Ms. Ivana. I'm sorry for being oversensitive."She stared into Luke's eyes and sincerely apologized.
She could not afford to stand still. Admitting to her mistakes was her best option.
Although Bianca did not think she did anything wrong, legitimacy belonged to the victor. She had nochoice but to admit it was her fault now that her scheme was unmasked.
"Don't worry about it." Luke looked at her pitiful expression and the tears welled in her eyes. It was asthough her tears would fall if he said another word.
He chose to let it go.
Bianca smiled slightly and walked toward him. "Do you forgive me?" "I never blamed you." Luke knewthat Bianca had gotten a little more sensitive after she got amnesia. It was likely that she did what shedid because of her insecurity.
He thought about it for a little while and said, "I have an event on the weekend. Do you want to joinme?"
Bianca was overjoyed. When she was about to agree, she thought of the wounds on her body. Thewound on her back was still prominent...
She had to wear a dress for the event. Even if she wore a long dress, it may not be able to cover all thewounds on her body.
Bianca could not go for a customized dress either. If someone saw the wounds on her back, they mightmisunderstand and make some nasty comments, which might affect Luke.
The more Bianca thought about it, the angrier she became.
Unfortunately, the wounds on her back gave her no choice but to turn Luke down. She asked, "Whatkind of event is it?" "It's a banquet held by the Pharmaceutical Association," Luke said.
"Hmm... I'm not good at socializing with medical professionals and I don't know anything now, so it'sbest that I don't go, lest I embarrass you," Bianca said vaguely. She knew that Abel owned thePharmaceutical Association that Luke was referring to.novelbin
She could not go in case Abel was there too. If his mood changed and he wanted to do something toher, it would not be worth the loss.
Bianca was determined not to accompany Luke to attend the event on Sunday. Eventually, the fury inher heart gradually faded.
Seeing that Bianca was unwilling to accompany him, Luke nodded and said coldly, "Mm, it's yourchoice. Get some rest."
Bianca looked at him as he finished speaking and then turned to leave. She let out a sigh of relief andpaused before she said something else.
Even if she got Luke to stay, there was nothing she could do.
Her body was wounded, so even if Luke stayed, she would not be able to do anything with him.
All Bianca could do was watch him leave. She then closed the door.
Luke returned to the study and thought of what Old Master Crawford had said.
The news of Queenie being poisoned had spread. Many of the rich and famous wanted to know whowas the wicked person who harmed her.
Even if he and Jack did not pursue it, others would.
If he found out who that person was before everyone else, maybe he could protect them before theothers got to them.
He texted Jason to make some arrangements.
Early the next morning.
After Luke got up, he notified the three children separately that he would be bringing them to theNorman Residence.
The kids were overjoyed when they heard that they were going to visit their grandparents. Theyimmediately jumped and started getting ready.
Luke walked to Bianca's bedroom after that. The bedroom door was closed. He knocked but there wasno response.
He knocked again thinking that Bianca had not woken up.
Tommy walked over and looked up at him. "Dad, what are you doing?" "I'm trying to wake your motherup," Luke said.
Tommy nodded but asked, "Why are you knocking on the door? Why don’t you just go in?" "..." Lukewas speechless after hearing what his son said. Tommy was right. He could just go in without knockingon the door.
He and Bianca were husband and wife.
However, it was not in his subconscious to do that. It was because he felt distant from Bianca. Theywere more like roommates living under one roof.
"Dad, why are you in a daze?" Tommy asked when he saw that Luke was spacing out.
Luke snapped out of it, put his hand around the doorknob, and found that the door was locked.
"The door is locked," he explained.
"Oh." Tommy nodded. "Daddy, take your time to wake Mommy up. I'll go downstairs to have breakfastfirst. I’m excited to go to Grandma's house later!"
Tommy then turned around and left.
Luke continued knocking on the door.
After knocking four times in a row, there was finally a reaction.
"Who is it?!" Bianca was in a rage from being woken up.
"It's me." Luke was startled when he heard her rude tone. The old Bianca had never spoken like this.
"Luke..." Bianca woke up and instantly sat up. Her sudden movements caused her wounds to ache.Thankfully for her, it was already the third day after she got injured and she had started to takemedicine as well. Hence, the wounds were quickly healing and did not hurt as much as before.
She hurriedly got out of bed, tidied her messy hair in the mirror, and opened the door.
Bianca's smile was extremely unnatural as she stared at Luke, who was standing by the door. "Luke,why are you up so early on a Saturday?"
Luke looked at Bianca, who was pale, and took a step back. "I’m bringing the kids to the NormanResidence later. Why don’t you come with us?"
