Chapter 1312 Where Are You, Bianca?
As Luke opened the door, he raised his eyebrows. Tommy went into the suite and looked at him. "I'mright, aren't I?"
Luke did not answer his question.
Ever since he was reunited with that impostor Bianca, he could not bring himself to love the womanwith Bianca's face. Even so, he tried his best to fulfill her demands.
They did not behave like husband and wife in the bedroom, but they had appeared in public manytimes. To the rest of A City, they were still the model couple.
He did not expect Tommy to see through the disguise.
Luke did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, "Why do you like Ms. Luca so much?"
Sensing his opportunity to voice his thoughts, Tommy did not hold back. "I like Ms. Luca because she'svery gentle, just like what Mommy used to be."
To the boy, Bianca felt only like a mother in name, and he was not close to her. On the other hand, hehad somehow sensed a liking for Luca since the first time they met.
Luke patted his son's head, glad that Tommy was willing to be honest with him. His fingertips sank intoTommy's soft and delicate hair, and he thought that his son needed a haircut soon.
"How about Lanie and Rainie? Do they like her too?" Luke asked.
Tommy shook his head. "I don't know. Lanie and Rainie don't talk to me because they think that I'm stilla little kid, but I know that they don't like Mommy at all."
In other words, all three children did not like Bianca.
Luke already knew about it. Seeing that it was already quite late, he said, "Brush your teeth and go tobed."
Tommy nodded. He was about to go into his room to get his pajamas when he suddenly turned aroundand said, "Daddy, will you divorce Mommy one day?"
He was still young, but he knew many things that happened between adults.
Several of his classmates had divorced parents. Sometimes, they would fret over whether they shouldgo with their father or their mother.
Tommy had already made up his mind. If Luke and Bianca would eventually divorce, he would definitelygo with his father.
"No," Luke said. He had no relation to the impostor Bianca back in A City. If they were not consideredmarried, how could they divorce?
Tommy was quite disappointed to hear that.
If Luke had said that he would divorce Bianca, there was a possibility that Luca would become theirmother.
Too bad his father did not think that way...
Tommy returned to his bedroom to take his pajamas, then went into the bathroom.
Luke filled up the bathtub for Tommy, then stepped out of the bathroom and sat on the couch.
Tommy seemed to have a natural affinity with Luca. It did not seem like Luca had groomed him.
Why did Luca seem so familiar?
Could she be the real Bianca?
If an impostor could wear Bianca's face, then the real Bianca could have worn a different face.
However, if Luca were the real Bianca, why did she not say so? If there was something stopping herfrom doing so, she could have dropped some hints.
Luca did not do anything. She had no common features with Bianca other than her voice. ’
If Luca were the real Bianca, she would not have abandoned her children or allowed an impostor to beby his side.
Upon reaching that conclusion, Luke rejected his initial hypothesis.
After taking a bath, Tommy stepped out of the bathroom. He saw Luke sitting on the couch, and hewalked over curiously. "What are you thinking, Daddy?"
Luke came to his senses. Earlier, he was lost in thought thinking about Luca. Seeing that Tommy's hairwas still dripping, he led him back to the bathroom and blew his hair dry with a hairdryer.
"Daddy, won't you consider marrying Ms. Luca?" Tommy looked at Luke's reflection in the mirror.
"Do you really want me to divorce your Mommy?" Luke put the hairdryer away and combed Tommy'shair with his fingers.
He did not plan to tell his children that their mother was an impostor, so he had to keep telling that lie.
The impostor might have Bianca's face, but she could not replicate the real Bianca's affection towardthe children. It was not surprising that the children could sense that something was amiss.
"I like Ms. Luca. If only you'd given birth to me earlier, Daddy, then I could have married Ms. Lucamyself. I wouldn't want to see her fall into another man's hands," Tommy said.
Luke flicked Tommy's forehead. "Go to bed."
Tommy stuck his tongue out, walked out of the bathroom, and lay down on the bed.novelbin
Luke tucked him in. When he was about to turn the lights off, he heard Tommy say, "Daddy, even if youdon't want to marry Ms. Luca, I wish that you can be happy. You're not happy with Mommy now.Sometimes I even wonder if she's faking her amnesia and if she's our real mother..."
"Don't think too much about it. You should sleep.” It was the first time that Luke's children had told himthat they did not like Bianca. Usually, they would keep it to themselves and not give him any trouble.
He was nevertheless perturbed by what Tommy told him. If he had to act against the impostor Biancaone day, he would not have to worry about how his children would think of that woman who had thesame face as their mother.
He would eventually expose the impostor's lies and find the children's real mother.
Luke turned off the lights but left the nightlight on. He walked out of the bedroom and went to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at New York's skyline in the night while reminiscing the moments with Bianca.It had been three years...
'Where are you, Bianca?'
The next few days were uneventful.
Luca eventually recovered and joined in the rest of the training with Dr. Albus and the others.
Despite promising Luke results in two days, it took Johann almost a week to discern the nature of themysterious substance.
Luca read the report that Johann had given her. According to the report, the substance was extractedfrom a small creature that lived in the sea. It had sedative properties, but they exist in nature in verysmall amounts.
The person who had created the drug must have increased the concentration of the drug by many,many times. That was why the drug was able to knock out four men for a few hours.
The substance was not something new. What was amazing was the techniques used in refining thedrug.
None of the available methods in modern medical technology allowed them to refine the substance tosuch a high concentration.
Luca put away the report after reading it. Dr. Albus picked it up', read it, and exclaimed, "You mean wewere actually drugged? We weren't drunk at all?"
