At this moment, even if Zane didn't continue speaking, Bianca felt her world was about to spiral out of control once again. Their breaths intertwined through the phone, and after a while, Bianca said, "If that's your reason for coming back, don't bother!" Her tone was unusually firm."Bia...""Haven't you caused me enough trouble?" Bianca instinctively didn't want this current life to be disrupted. Even though she disliked Malcolm, if Zane also returned, especially if it was his intention, her world would be thrown into chaos. It would possibly be even worse than before."Were you all just waiting for me to return to the Holly family?" Bianca questioned.The air quieted again."That's it, isn't it?" Bianca said coldly, realizing everything in that silence. "You underestimated me, didn't you?"She continued, "My whole life, I've been free-spirited. Did you really think you could trap me like this?""Bia, things aren't as bad as you think."Bianca didn't want to hear anymore.
Two hours later, Bianca was drenched in sweat at the hospital. Curtis had undergone emergency treatment and was now out of danger. But when Bianca looked at the medical report in her hand, she realized just how bad Curtis' condition was."Why didn't you tell me?" Bianca's chest tightened as she looked at Carol.Curtis had heart disease, the kind that couldn't handle emotional fluctuations.Carol's eyes were red, clearly shaken. This time was more dangerous than the last. One misstep and Curtis could have been gone."Sir always insisted I didn't tell you," Carol choked out.Bianca fell silent and closed her eyes. At this moment, she wanted to say so much, but nothing came out."Miss, he just wanted you closer. You don't know how happy he was when he found out you agreed to Mr. Langley's proposal," Carol pleaded.What she said was true. Since Bianca's return, Curtis had been careful and respectful towards her. If it weren't for the huge mess left behind by Eleanor, he wouldn't be
Six months!Hearing the doctor pronounce a death sentence in the form of having only half a year left was undoubtedly crushing for Bianca.She couldn't believe it."Yes, that's right," the doctor said, taking off his glasses and looking at Bianca seriously.Bianca didn't know what to say. Already pale-faced, hearing the doctor's verdict made her heart feel even heavier.Hearing the doctor pronounce a death sentence on her loved one firsthand, Bianca knew better than anyone the feelings and taste that came with it!Back then, it was also the doctor who pronounced the same verdict...!That time, it was her only family member. Whenever the doctor said something like that to her, it meant that loss was imminent."Is there no other way?" She had asked the doctor the same question back then.But what did the doctor tell her at that time?!The doctor told her that her grandmother needed surgery as soon as possible, and the surgery cost eight hundred thousand! As long as the surgery
The force behind Bianca's slap was heavy.In an instant, Seraphine's lips bore traces of blood as she looked at Bianca. Seraphine's gaze was as fierce as a savage beast, as if she wanted to tear her apart. Bianca's gaze towards her became even more dangerous at this moment.With a cold smirk, Seraphine said, "Hitting me won't change the fact! Don't you know? It was your mother who handled the adoption procedures back then.""...""So, I'm still the heiress of the Holly family!""...""And the rightful heiress here!" Seraphine said crazily.Bianca's gaze was already dangerous, and she looked at Seraphone with even more chilling danger now.Seraphine declared, "From now on, I won't step away from the Holly family!"She had nothing left.The only thing she could have now was the Holly family.Just as Seraphine was about to step inside, Bianca's voice turned cold, "I advise you not to go in.""Are you threatening me?""No. I'm stating a fact. If you step inside today, I'll t
Bianca smiled. "Give it a try and see if you like it." Actually, Bianca wasn't particularly skilled in cooking. However, during her time in Weiss Town, she gained some basic kitchen knowledge. So, this morning, she managed to cook smoothly and put in considerable effort."I like it!" Curtis exclaimed before even tasting it.He hadn't tasted it yet, but he already liked it. How could he not? It was his daughter's cooking, after all. Curtis... truly liked it!"Go ahead and try it first," Bianca suggested."Okay."Curtis had eaten a lot of things before this. But after trying Bianca's cooking, he had to admit that it was the best thing he had ever tasted. One's appetite depended on one's mood! When one was in a good mood, everything tasted delicious."What's wrong?" Bianca asked as she noticed Curtis' lowered gaze, with a hint of moisture in his eyes."I never thought I'd live to see this day," Curtis said without waiting for her response. "Your mother waited for this moment
After breakfast, Bianca felt lethargic throughout the morning. But by noon, she found herself in the kitchen.Carol noticed Bianca's downcast mood and said tenderly, "Let me handle this, Miss. You should rest.""It's okay, I can manage." What did this exhaustion matter? As long as the people around her were safe and sound, that was the greatest blessing she could ask for. But Bianca had lost too much. She seemed to have lost the courage to lose anymore.Seeing Bianca's determination, Carol didn't insist further, simply nodding in understanding. "Alright."Curtis seemed to be in good spirits that morning, eating more than usual, which was beneficial for his health. Despite her distracted state of mind, Bianca prepared his food with utmost care."Carol?""Yes?""What kind of person was she?"She was referring to Eleanor. Until now, Bianca couldn't utter her name.Carol was taken aback when Bianca brought her up, realizing that Bianca had never asked about Eleanor since retur
There was a major event in Simeria!Zane returned, but Cedric, whom Natalie had trapped, seemed to have vanished into thin air! Natalie's people had been searching for him in secret for days. They also closely watched Luna as they feared this man might go crazy and sneak out to take Luna away.Bianca's mind was fully occupied with taking care of Curtis, so she naturally knew nothing about what was happening. Bianca eventually appeared at the central cemetery in Simeria. She placed the flowers she was holding in front of Eleanor's tombstone. Then, she studied the gentle smile on the woman's face in the picture on the tombstone."Is this how you used to be?" Bianca whispered. Yes, this smile was Eleanor's true self. Back then, her smile came from the heart. But during Bianca's time in Simeria, she never saw Eleanor smile. All she saw was her sharp and dangerous side, which seemed to envelop everyone and make them tremble with fear!Zane appeared not far behind her, and Bianca f
Natalie was even more confused when she heard Bianca's words! Natalie knew that the situation was complicated and that Zane and Malcolm's return wasn't as straightforward as it seemed. But seeing Bianca's reaction now, she could clearly sense that there might be something behind it that she didn't know.Bianca got out of the car right after that, so Natalie didn't get a chance to say anything. She watched Bianca leave with a graceful yet obviously determined silhouette and eventually decided not to follow her out of the car. If Bianca had wanted to tell her anything, she would have done so on the way.Turning the car around, Natalie went back home. When she arrived, Austin looked like he was about to leave.Natalie quickly called out, "Honey!""Where were you just now?" Seeing Natalie, Austin opened his arms. Clearly, he went looking for Natalie after he had finished talking to Bianca but couldn't find her."Did Bianca say something to you?" Natalie asked directly as soon as t
