Chapter 791 Queenie Came to Visit
When Luke woke up again, he saw Bianca sitting next to him on the bed.
One of her hands was gently caressing his palm, while her chin rested on her other hand as she staredat him.
She was unbelievably beautiful under the warm sunlight. Her face was fair and soft, and her eyes wereclear and animated.
Her eyelashes were thin and long. When she blinked, they flapped like two nimble butterflies.
However, there seemed to be an inexplicable melancholy in her gaze.
He could not help but frown. He did not wish to see her worry about something.
Bianca smiled gently when she saw that Luke was awake. ’ Are you hungry?
It's about to rain outside. What do you want to eat? I'll have it delivered."
Luke shook his head and patted his bed. "I'm not hungry. Come and lie down next to me, Bea."
Bianca let go of his hand and went to pour a glass of warm water for him." Your lips look dry. Youshould drink some water."
Luke took the glass and gently sipped the water. He looked at her, noticing that there was somethingnot quite right with her expression.
Bianca chuckled when she saw that Luke was looking intently at her. "Why are you looking at me likethat? Is there something on my face?"
Her voice was very pleasant.
She was born and raised in the south, and so she had a peculiar drawl to her syllables, like waterflowing in a brook in spring, or like a gentle breeze.
Luke thought that his wife was the most beautiful woman in the world. He took her hand and placed iton his chest.
Through the bandages, Bianca could feel the rhythmic beat of his heart.
Bianca was afraid that she might accidentally touch his wounds. She wanted to pull her hand back."Your wounds..." "It's fine. Luke kissed her soft hair and spoke gently, "I might recover faster if youtouch my wounds."
Bianca was amused by his childish actions, though she could not help but feel dejected when she wasreminded of Mavis's brazen behavior earlier." You bring me nothing but trouble. You might be marriedwith children, but women can't help but fall for you. What should I do about that?" "What are youthinking?" Luke gently flicked her forehead. "Why do you suddenly say that? Don't you trust me?"
Luke was sleeping earlier and did not know that Mavis came to visit.
Bianca quarreled with Mavis outside the ward.
The door to the ward did a good job of insulating sounds from the outside. That was why he did notknow about the tensions that ran between the two women.
Bianca playfully pinched his arm and said angrily, "No, I trust you, but I hate those women who are aspesky as flies... Sigh, my husband is an extremely charming man, and that's why many women fall forhim. If I'm angry because of such a petty matter, then I'd be living in jealousy for my whole life."
Luke looked at her in puzzlement. "What happened?" "It's nothing..."
Luke pinned her down on the bed in the middle of her sentence. "You shouldn't lie to me, my darling."novelbin
Bianca did not struggle in case she accidentally touched his wounds. She hugged her neck as she saidcoyly, "It's really nothing. My husband has a face that would make any woman fall for him. I'm afraidthat some other seductress might steal his heart..."
She did not tell Luke that Mavis came earlier. He might have had no affection for that woman, butMavis had been by his side for more than ten years, witnessing his growth from an unknownentrepreneur to the CEO of a multinational conglomerate. She probably occupied a unique position inhis heart.
Luke was an intelligent man, and he should know that Mavis admired him. He might be pretending thathe did not know about it because he did not want to ruin their working relationship. Bianca decided thatshe should help him solve that problem.
Luke was Bianca's wife now. Mavis had no right to covet him. i
Bianca felt relieved when she thought about that.
Luke was not sure how to react when he heard those words. "Silly girl!" 'She doesn't know how much Ilove her. Why is she always thinking of such nonsense?
'Is it because she doesn't feel secure with me?'
Queenie came to the VIP hospital ward at about five o'clock in the evening.
She handed an insulated container to Bianca. Her heart wrenched when she saw that her daughterseemed to be more and more haggard by the day, and her son-in-law lying on the hospital bed. "I madesome food for you, Luke and Bea. You should eat some."
Bianca took the container and led her mother to sit down at a chair. "Why did you come over, Mom?Where's Dad?"
Queenie's gaze wavered slightly. "Your dad is... pulling some strings. The accident at The Galleria istoo serious, and if it comes to it, we still have an escape route... Don't worry about the accident, Luke.You should rest well for now. There has to be a solution for this, no matter how difficult it might be."
Luke took a sip of the bone broth that Bianca brought to him in a bowl.
The broth tasted delicious, but Queenie's words left a bitter aftertaste in his mouth.
Mr. Jack Norman was known for his honesty and impartiality. He had always hated getting things doneby relying on connections, but he had made an exception for what happened to T Corporation. He wasmoved, but at the same time, he felt guilty.
"Thank you, Mom... and Dad too."
Bianca felt uneasy about it too. His father had been an honest politician for all his life, and he wasabout to retire soon. She felt guilty that she let her parents worry about their problems, but she washelpless about it.
She finally realized that her parents were always there for her.
Queenie turned her head away and brushed away the tears at the corners of her eyes. She ladled abowl of broth for Bianca. "You should have some broth too, my daughter. I know that you like bonebroth, and that's why I made some for you and Luke. Let me know what you want to eat, and I'll cook itfor you next time."
Bianca shook her head. "There are a lot of restaurants outside of the hospital, Mom. They’re not veryfar away, and I can buy food for myself and Luke from there. Luke will be discharged in a few days. You
shouldn't have troubled yourself." "You're my daughter, Bianca. I'd do anything for you."
Queenie watched them finish the food in the insulated container. "Your dad should be home soon. I'llhave to go home and cook for him. We'll come over later in the night. Give me a call if you needanything." "Alright," Luke said, "Drive safe, Mom."
Queenie wiped her eyes again. "Sigh, alright. I'll tidy up the guest room too. When you're discharged,you should stay over in our house for a few days. I happen to be free, and Bea and I can take turns totake care of you." i
When Queenie arrived home, her husband was not back yet. She remembered that Leia had beencooped up in her room for the past few days, and she thought of asking her what she wanted fordinner.
She was about to knock on the door of her daughter's room when she vaguely heard the sound of aman coming from inside...
Queenie was stunned on the spot. The hand that was about to knock on the door froze in mid-air.
