Chapter 552 Bianca Was Moved and Saddened
After work, Bianca received a call from her aunt Wanda, saying that Old Master Rayne had beenthinking of her. He also wondered about how Bianca's health had been, and he missed Lanie andRainie.
Bianca had been busy with work lately, not to mention that she had been stuck at her home for the pastfew months while her leg recovered. Her communication with her grandfather had been limited tophone and video calls.
After hearing from her aunt, Bianca decided that she would visit her grandfather.
She wanted to bring the twins along. However, it would be difficult. The twins were in Crawford Manor,and Luke was away on a business trip.
Bianca knew that Old Master Crawford still had a negative impression of her, while Allison did not evenwant to talk to her. She would only be humiliating herself if she went there.
At home.
Old Master Rayne was very excited when he saw Bianca. He asked her many questions, includingquestions about her health and why Luke did not come along.
Even more than that, he asked about whether Lanie and Rainie had grown any taller, and if theylistened to their mother...
The old man asked her many questions, and he even repeated several questions three or four times.However, Bianca answered each of those questions without the slightest hint of impatience.
After the chat, Bianca gave her grandfather several boxes of medicated plasters. "Your back has beenhurting, Grandpa, and I bought these medicated plasters for you. Try them and see if they're effective.Use one in the morning and one in the evening, and I hope your back will be better."
Old Master Rayne was also old, and the doctor advised against surgery. He had been trying to alleviatethe situation with medication.
Bianca had been thinking of how to cure her grandfather's condition.
She knew about the medicated plasters when she overheard the conversation between the twocaretakers at home.
One of the caretakers had a serious spinal injury because she had overworked herself in her youngerdays, and she felt as though a hammer was knocking on her back every day.
After that, she found a natural healer in her hometown who formulated his own medicated plasters.After using it for some time, the pain was reduced by a lot until she was healthy enough to work again.
That was why Bianca thought of asking the caretaker to buy several boxes of medicated plasters forher grandfather.
She brought the medicated plasters along with her.
Old Master Rayne smiled as he took the boxes. He did not have too much hope of being healed, but hesaid jokingly, "You're so considerate, Bianca, but I'm afraid that there's no use. I've taken so manymedicines and had so many injections. You shouldn't have spent the money on me! I'm already onefoot in the grave, and I don't know how much time I still have with you...
Old Master Rayne's eyes misted with tears, and his tone sounded sorrowful.novelbin
"You're only seventy, Grandpa. I think that you're still young, and you shouldn't say things like that.You'll definitely live to a hundred, and I hope that you can attend Lanie and Rainie's weddings!"
Bianca hugged her grandfather's arm, just like she did when she was a child.
Old Master Rayne was helpless. "You're a grown woman now, but you're still clingy like a little girl!" "Nomatter how grown-up I am, I'll still be a little girl in front of you, Grandpa! I want to cling to you like I didwhen I was little," Bianca said smugly.
Old Master Rayne patted his granddaughter's head. "You're going to be a mother of three soon, andyou can't act like a little girl after you're married. Your mother-in-law doesn't seem like she's a friendlyperson. We should compromise whenever we can instead of arguing with her. Of course, if she tries totake advantage of you, you should tell Luke instantly. I can tell that the Luke boy has a mind of his own,and he won't only obey his mother. You don't have to suffer on your own, understand? If Luke bulliesyou, you'll have to tell me. I'll get even with him even if it kills me!"
Bianca was moved by her grandfather's concern toward her. She did not doubt that her grandfatherloved her very much.
She pressed her lips together and tried to sound casual. "I know, Grandpa, don't worry. Luke and I willmove out after we're married, and we won't live together with his mother. If we don't regularly meet,then we won't have the opportunity to quarrel. Luke is very nice to me, and he won't bully me.Sometimes I feel like I'm bullying him!" "That's good to know. I know that my granddaughter is a luckygirl!" Old Master Rayne said, comforted.
Bianca helped her grandfather sit down on the couch, then said, "Have a rest first, Grandpa. I'll go tothe kitchen and help out Aunt Wanda. I'm afraid that she's overwhelmed." "You're pregnant. Will you befine?" Old Master Rayne did not agree with her suggestion. He held Bianca's hand and did not let go.
"I'll be fine, Grandpa. The doctor told me that pregnant women shouldn't always be sitting down. Theexercise will be good for me."
Bianca managed to convince her grandfather to let her help in the kitchen.
Once she stepped into the kitchen, she could smell the fragrance of dinner.
"That smells so good, Aunt Wanda!" She exclaimed.
Wanda turned to look at her niece while holding a pot. "I'm making your favorite meatballs, and I'll bemaking shrimp scampi later. I'll just need to toss the shrimp in the saucepan and we can eat..." "Itsmells really good, Aunt Wanda. Your cooking is getting better again.
Let me have a taste..." Bianca washed her hands, picked up a meatball from the pot like a child, andstuffed it in her mouth.
The meatball was still piping hot. Bianca yelped a little, and she seemed very mischievous.
"You child..." Wanda pretended to scold Bianca and shook her head.
Her niece was already a mother but still acted so childishly. She did not know if it was a good thing or abad thing.
She had been married to a man from a wealthy family before, and she knew that it was not easy to playthat role.
The undercurrents in wealthy families ran deep.
Wealthy families placed a lot of importance on rules and etiquette. Once inside, those rules mightreduce a human's true nature to a soulless puppet.
'What if my niece is an exception?' Wanda thought when she was reminded of Bianca's husband-to-be.
With the man protecting her, perhaps Bianca might be lucky. Wanda hoped that Bianca could remain asinnocent as before.
While Wanda was cooking at the stove, she felt a warm current in her nasal cavity.
Droplets of blood fell uncontrollably from Wanda's nostril.
The bright-red blood splashed on the spatula...
