Chapter 231
Chapter 231 I'll Spill the Beans On Bianca!
When the two adults arrived at the apartment, Bianca went to the children's rooms to check on them.
Lanie and Rainie were sleeping soundly, though the boy kicked away his blanket as usual. Bianca tookthe blanket on the floor and carefully tucked him in.
The children's beds could not fit another adult. Bianca had no choice but to sleep together with Luke.
When she lay on the bed and was about to fall asleep, Luke was still busy working in the study.
Bianca had heard from Jason that Luke would usually lose track of time whenever he got busy.Sometimes, the boss would even neglect his health.
With the development project going underway in the small town, he became busier. The boss had tohandle stacks of work every day.
Looking at how he exerted himself at work and on the bed, he was really neglecting his health...
The next morning.
Marie's fever finally subsided.
"Are you done yet, Mom?" Marie stood at the entrance anxiously with a handbag slung over hershoulder.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" In front of the mirror, Jennifer put on lipstick and checked on her mascaraagain.
When Jennifer came to the doorway to put on her shoes, Marie said, "I don't know if bringing you alongis the right decision." "Why wouldn't it be?" Jennifer said unhappily.
Marie looked at Jennifer's ghastly face. "You don't have to put on make-up if you don't know how to.You'll be a big embarrassment!" "What's wrong with my face? I think it looks good." Jennifer touchedher face embarrassedly and looked at herself in the pocket mirror.
Marie did not want to say anything. She turned around and left.
Jennifer quickly followed behind.
At the hospital.
When Jennifer and Marie arrived on the floor Kevin was in and stepped out of the elevator, they wereshocked by the scene in front of them.
They thought that some VIP was staying in the hospital. Guards were stationed throughout the corridor.
"Who are you, and who are you looking for?" A casually-dressed middle- aged man in his fortiesapproached Jennifer, who was snooping around.
Marie stepped forward and answered politely, "Hello, is Kevin Rayne on this floor?"
The man continued to look at Marie and Jennifer doubtfully.
Marie tried to put up a confident front and continued, "This is my mother. She's Kevin Rayne's wife. Wewant to visit him. Maybe you can tell Uncle Kevin that we're here and if he's willing to see us?"
There were five guards in total, and the person in charge was talking to Marie and Jennifer. Jason hadstationed them there under his boss's orders.
They wanted to stop Allison from causing trouble.
Allison wanted to separate Bianca from his son. If she could not do anything to Luke or Bianca,perhaps she would approach Kevin.
Ever since Luke knew Allison's intentions, he had tasked Jason to guard Kevin.
The person in charge went into the ward and asked for Kevin's decision.
Kevin was visibly agitated when he heard that Jennifer was here. He nodded slightly and panted. "Letthem... come in..."
Five minutes later, Jennifer and Marie appeared in the ward.
Jennifer listened to Marie's advice and wiped away her lipstick. She looked older after that.
Jennifer sat down next to the bed and smiled at Kevin. "I haven't been visiting you because I've beenbusy working several jobs. You should know that I can barely get by. Our savings have been used upwhen we sent our kids to college five years ago."
Kevin frowned slightly when he listened to Jennifer's words.
Jennifer continued, "I'm your wife now. Even though this is your second marriage, I've spent a lot moretime with you than Bianca's mom. Naturally, you should treat me better. You also said that you will treatMarie like your birth daughter...
Marie lifted her head and looked at Kevin on the bed.novelbin
To treat his cancer, Kevin had undergone many chemotherapy sessions. Unfortunately, it brought alongmany side effects.
Kevin was having a fever since the morning, and fits of dry coughs would occasionally seize him...
He was coughing agonizingly on the bed. Jennifer, his wife, did not attempt to comfort him but insteadspoke faster as though she was worried that he died before she got what she wanted. "You shouldknow very well that Bianca found a rich man. We don't mind if you’ve been keeping that from us. After
all, Bianca and I don't see each other eye to eye, and I don't intend to ask her for anything. Marie isgoing to marry soon, and I'd like to discuss with you if you could sell our house so that Marie can usethe money for her wedding."
Kevin did not listen to what Jennifer said. He coughed harder, and his frail body arched up. Hisbreathing sounded like a broken trumpet.
Jennifer frowned. She stood from her chair and spoke louder, "Do you hear me, Kevin Rayne? I'm notasking a lot from you, just a house for our Marie. Bianca found herself a rich man to take care of yourmedical treatment. Doesn’t matter if she’s just going to be a sugar baby or the man's legal wife, she'salready made it. It's not too much if you give the house to Marie, right?"
Marie stood by the bedside, watching Kevin cough his lungs out. His sickly complexion turned dark red,and his lips turned blue.
'Don't die just like that!' Marie thought.
She walked over and said, "Uncle Kevin, are you coughing because you're angry about what my momsaid? It's not like you're happy that my mom made a good suggestion, right?"
Jennifer quickly stepped in and interjected. She was worried that her daughter might misspeak andmake the situation worse.
In all their years together, Kevin would always grant her whatever she desired, as long as she waspersistent...
Marie shoved her mother away and looked at Kevin unpleasantly. "I'm not going to talk too much, UncleKevin. I only want the house. It's either you give me the house now, or I'll expose all of Bianca'sscandals. If you can't get out of bed, then I'll teach that filthy daughter of yours on your behalf..."
