Chapter 1245 Bianca Cannot Die
Tommy looked at the pile of coins in his money box. The money was to be donated to a rural school,but he was not happy because there were no snacks left.novelbin
He glanced at the other stalls. None of the other stalls were as popular as his.
Tommy pulled Luke's pants and pointed at the stall next to his. "I want some cupcakes from that stall,Daddy."
That reminded Luke of Luca’s cupcakes.
They were indeed very delicious.
"Alright." Luke packed up the money box, then led Tommy to the cupcake stall.
The stall was manned by a little girl and her mother. When the young mother saw Luke walking towardher, her heart began to beat faster. She had noticed him earlier, but she managed to resist the urge tochat up with him.
She did not expect that he would bring his son over to his stall.
"What would you like, little buddy?" The woman asked Tommy, though her gaze was transfixed onLuke.
Two cupcakes please, Ma'am," Tommy said while gulping as he gawked at the golden cupcakes.
"Coming right up. Lydia, pack up two cupcakes for the charming man and the handsome little boy,please," the woman said.
The little girl named Lydia packed two cupcakes in a box and handed it to Tommy.
Luke took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the woman.
"I don't have change for that..." the woman said awkwardly.
"Keep the change." Luke was about to leave with Tommy when he heard the woman say, "No, I can'tdo that. How about this, I'll find some way to break it up for you..." "It's for charity." After Luke said that,he heard Tommy say, "Mm, it's not as nice as the ones that Ms. Luca makes."
When the little girl heard that, she immediately retorted. "You're lying! My Mommy's cupcakes are thebest. Everyone loves them!"
Tommy turned his head and looked at Luke. "I still think Ms. Luca's cupcakes are better, Daddy." "MyMommy’s cupcakes are better!" The little girl was still trying to speak up for her mother.
The little girl's mother felt somewhat embarrassed. "Alright Lydia, it's fine."
Luke led Tommy to another stall.
The woman was infatuated by Luke’s appearance, though the little girl remained indignant. "Yourcupcakes are the best, Mommy. They don't know how to appreciate it."
The woman smiled and patted the little girls' head. "I know that. Right, Lydia, is the little boy in yourclass?" "Yes!" Lydia pulled a funny face in Tommy's direction.
"Oh? What's his name?" The woman had newly arrived at A City, and she was not familiar with manythings.
"The teacher calls him Tommy. Mommy, I don't like him at all. The teachers all like him and not me.He's a doo-doo head." Lydia was used to being showered with attention in her previous kindergarten,and she realized that the teachers in her current kindergarten all adored Tommy. That was why shehated him.
"Tommy? Is that short for Thomas?" The woman asked.
"I don't know. That's what everyone calls him!" Lydia said with a frown.
"Is he from a single-parent family?" The woman asked. She only turned her head away after Lukedisappeared among the crowd.
"What's a single-parent family, Mommy?" Lydia did not understand.
"Just like us. You don’t have a Daddy. Mm, does Tommy have a Mommy?" The woman was not afraidto voice her thoughts.
The woman was newly divorced, and she had used the money from the divorce settlement to move toA City and enroll her daughter at the kindergarten.
"I don't know. I've never seen his Mommy before." Lydia shook her head.
The woman smiled. As far as she knew, such events were either attended by both a child's parents ortheir caretakers. If Luke attended the event by himself, and Lydia had not met Tommy's mother before,could that mean...
"I'd like two cupcakes, please," a child's voice interrupted the woman's thoughts. She came to hersenses and gave the child a box of two cupcakes.
The carnival ended at noon, and the students did not have to go to class after. Luke brought Tommy tothe hospital.
"Why are we here, Daddy?" Tommy did not understand.
"We're here to visit your Mommy." Luke did not plan to tell the children about his discovery. After all,they were still young, and they should not know about it.
Moreover, the fewer people knew about it, the better.
"Oh." Tommy nodded. He did not seem too perturbed.
Luke brought Tommy into Bianca's room, and Queenie smiled when she saw them. "Why did you bringTommy here? There are so many germs at the hospital." "Tommy's kindergarten is off today, so Ibrought him along with me," Luke explained.
"I've raised a lot of money at Carnival Day today, Grandma. Look, my teacher gave me a sticker!"Tommy pointed at the sticker on his shirt.
Tommy's stall sold out the fastest and raised the most money.
"That's amazing, Tommy!" Queenie praised.
Luke glanced at Bianca on the bed. Her face was still red, and her condition had probably notimproved. "How is Bea?" He asked.
"After the new dosage, her temperature went down by one degree." Queenie seemed sad when Lukementioned Bianca.
Bianca's condition had only improved slightly. How could anyone bear the constant torment from thefever?
Queenie continued, "I've overheard the conversation between the nurses earlier. They said that if Bea'scondition doesn't improve, it might worsen into pneumonia."
Luke was silent.
"I'd rather not trouble Luca, but if this goes on... Can't we ask her to come here and check on Bea justonce?" Queenie said. She did not want to bother Luca, but she was desperate for Bianca to recover.
Luke thought for a while and nodded. "I'll go and make a call." "Alright." Queenie smiled when Lukeagreed. She thought that Bianca would be cured once Luca was here.
Luke left the room. He agreed to make the call because he hoped that Bianca would be safe.
The impostor Bianca was his only lead for now, so she could not die just yet.
He had to find out who the mastermind behind the plot was. Also, he wanted to find the whereabouts ofthe real Bianca.
Luke leaned against the wall, took out his phone, and gave Luca a call.
