Female Novel
Chapter 2925
Luke and Jack exchanged glances.
When Queenie saw their expressions, she became concerned that they were hiding something fromher again. Thus, she deliberately wore a stern face and said, "Are you still not going to tell me? If that'sthe case, I seriously doubt the authenticity of this DNA test report."
As she spoke, she raised the DNA test report.
Queenie believed that this report was real, especially after learning that Luca's true identity wasBianca.
It reminded her of the first time she met Luca.
It was that familiar feeling she could not quite place.
Perhaps it was the emotional connection between a mother and her daughter.
With these thoughts in mind, Queenie continued to gaze intently at Luke and Jack.
Since Luca did not acknowledge them when she returned, there must be a reason for it. She might befacing some difficulties.
Queenie knew that there were many things she could not change or help with. She needed to know thereasons why her daughter was suffering...
Jack, who knew his wife well, knew that he could not keep this a secret any longer. He had no choicebut to say, "Maybe we should just tell her. That way, she won't have to keep guessing. We'll still needher help for what lies ahead."
Luke nodded and proceeded to reveal everything about Luca's situation on the Island of Despair.
After Luke told her everything, he added, "I don't know why Bianca is still insisting on keeping thingshidden. There must be a reason, and we need to uncover it."
They thought that Queenie being admitted to the hospital would make Luca speak the truth.
Jack thought so too. That was why he informed Luke early in the morning.
He did not expect Luca's lips to remain tightly sealed. They had no idea what the Island of Despair hadover her.
Queenie agreed and nodded in approval as she listened to him. She wanted to get to the bottom ofthis.
She wanted to reunite her family.
Queenie felt agonized knowing that her daughter was right in front of her, yet she was unable toacknowledge her.
"Mom, I have another favor to ask of you," said Luke. Now that the truth had been revealed, he knewthat Queenie would be willing to help for Luca's sake.
When Queenie found out that she could help, she immediately nodded and asked, "What do you needme to do?"
"Could you please continue to stay at the hospital?" Luke paused for a moment and explained his planto Queenie in detail.
Listening to him, she nodded and agreed. "Alright, I'll stay at the hospital. Hopefully, we can get Biancato speak about her difficulties."
Luke nodded. He, too, wanted Luca to open up. It was the only way their family could be reunited. Theywere only resorting to this method out of necessity.
“How are you planning to handle this publicly?” Jack was curious about his plans and what Luke wouldsay to the public.novelbin
After all, Luke was still officially married to someone else. The public did not know that Luca wasactually Bianca. Hence, Luke would still have to deal with the public's reaction.
Concerned that Luke might make a foolish move that would fuel public speculation, Jack reminded him,"The bidding process is already underway. Besides the content of the bid being crucial, the company'simage is equally important. I know you want Bianca to speak about her difficulties, but we can't neglectthe bidding. T Corporation's reputation must be maintained."
T Corporation's image was closely tied to Luke's own image.
If his reputation as a loyal husband was tarnished at this moment, it could affect the bidding process.
"Thank you for the reminder, Dad." Luke nodded. He did not plan for this situation to escalate anyfurther.
Making Luca admit she was Bianca did not depend on public opinion; it was about pressuring herthrough the people that mattered most to her.
Queenie and Wanda would be enough.
Luke had a feeling that when Queenie and Wanda got worked up about their situation, Luca wouldconfess everything for the sake of her family's well-being.
"It's getting late. There are still matters to attend to at the company, not to mention the issue with themedia coverage. You'll have to handle all of that. We'll be fine here." Jack had his secretary arrange for
him to take a leave of absence when Queenie was being taken to the hospital.
After all, his wife's health was more important to him.
Now that Queenie also knew Luca's true identity, she would not continue to feel distressed. Perhapsshe could even return to work at the provincial government.
Luke nodded and turned to look at Queenie. "I'll leave this to you, Mom."
"I'm used to being in the hospital. It's no problem," Queenie replied with a smile on her face, feelinghappy.
Knowing that her daughter was Luca, she was in high spirits and even more determined to keep Lucaaway from that dreadful place—even if it meant staying in the hospital longer.
Luke nodded and said, "I'll inform Johann as well." They had to go all out with the act. Queenie mightbe able to leave the hospital soon. Without Johann's help, she had no excuse to continue to stay in thehospital.
It would be quite a hassle if she pretended to be sick and stayed in the hospital, would it not? Hence,no matter how Luke looked at it, he needed Johann's help.
"Alright. You make the arrangements. Your mother and I will cooperate," said Jack. As he got older, hisaspirations for political success were not as high as they used to be in his younger days. Now, all hewanted was for Luca to return to them.
He only wanted their daughter to be healthy and happy, and stay by their side.
Luke nodded. After he sent a message to Johann, he left the hospital ward.
The caretaker sat in a chair on the side of the ward room, while Luca sat on a chair opposite her. Lukeput on his cap and mask. Then, he said to the caretaker, "We're done talking. Take good care of her."
The caretaker nodded and stood up, assuring him, "Mr. Crawford, rest assured. I'll take good care ofher."
Then, the caretaker walked into the ward room.
After Luke closed the door, he said to Luca, "Let's go. I'll drive you to the office."
"Okay." Luca nodded. They walked in the direction of the elevator together.
The two of them got into the elevator, reached the ground floor, and headed to the parking lot. Afterthey got into the car, Luca asked, "How is Mrs. Norman doing?"
"Not too good. Her blood pressure is high. She was lying on the hospital bed without saying a wordafter the check-up." Luke deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound even more somber.
Luca's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to say something. As she slightly opened her mouth, shecould taste the bitterness in her mouth.
What should she say?
What could she do to make Queenie feel better?
Luca had thought about these things, but now that Queenie had discovered the truth, she was at a lossfor what to do...
"Are both Mr. and Mrs. Norman upset?" asked Luca.
"Yes," Luke replied without any expression on his face. He looked very serious.
The fewer words he spoke, the more anxious Luca felt. She realized that the situation was not going tobe easily resolved.
She wanted to ask Luke if he could explain to them.
However, the photos were right there. It would not be easy to fool the public, not to mention Jack andQueenie.
Besides, Jack had served in the military and was now an important figure in politics. It was not easy tofool him.
Her heart felt bitter as she looked at Luke's determined side profile, which seemed even more seriousthan usual. Suddenly, she felt lost.
What should they do?
Jack, Queenie, Old Master Crawford, and Abel, who had been lurking in the background...
They could all get worked up when they saw this news report.
There was no doubt that Luke would stand in front of her while she stayed behind. Hence, it would nothave much of an impact on her.
How could she possibly leave Luke alone to face all the consequences at the forefront?
