"Really? I didn't notice.” Luca gave a faint smile. She did not pay much attention to these matters. She had confidence in Luke.Other women might be interested in him, but he showed no interest in them. Even when Luke was suspected of 'cheating', it turned out his supposed affair was with his wife. Did that still count as cheating? At least in others' eyes, it did. However, in her heart, Luca did not consider Luke's actions as such. Her true identity was Bianca, and Bianca was her. Luke had always chosen only her. Moreover, he chose her knowing her true identity.Luca had seen the DNA test report the kids had secretly conducted. It was quite early on, before she and Luke had gotten together. It was after seeing this report that Luke gradually began showing unusual behavior toward her.“Rain, have you noticed?” Gale looked at Rain.Rain nodded without hesitation. “Yes, that woman does indeed have some interest in Boss, but he has never responded to her, not even with a
Gordan gave Gale an international gesture and then closed his eyes. Gale felt helpless. If it were not for all the things Gordan had done for him, he would not be willing to take care of him!At the thought of this, Gale let out a cold snort, put down the cup of water, walked over to the couch, and sat down. Then, he said, “You're such a handful. Only I can deal with you! Any caretakers we hired would totally freak out.”Gordan remained silent.Luca felt exasperated as she listened to them.“Gordan, get some good rest,” said Luke as he put away his phone and walked to the bedside.“Boss, I'm fine,” replied Gordan. He felt frustrated. How long had he been lying here? He had lost all sense of time.“Boss, if you have things to do, go ahead. Gale won’t let me die here,” added Gordan.“Yeah, there's still some work at the company. Luca and I will head back first. When you start physical therapy, Luca will help you. Don't worry, you'll recover just like before. Also, some money has
Sunny felt a pang of hurt as she heard Gordan addressing Luca as his sister-in-law. She also remembered Gale and the others referring to Luke as 'Boss' just moments ago.Her eyes reddened as she turned toward Luke. However, he did not even glance at her, completely ignoring her grievances.Sunny suppressed the urge to cry. She knew as a nurse there were things she could not say and people she could not mess with. All she could say was, “I'm saying this for your own good. Besides, I don't know about this lady's ability. You've just had surgery and are still under anesthesia. It really isn't appropriate to perform dry needling on you at this time.”“I’m sorry,” Luca heard her and said indifferently to the nurse before removing the needles.Gordan was puzzled. “Huh?”“It's already been five minutes. That's enough,” replied Luca. She did not remove the needles because of Sunny's words but because the allotted time was up.Initially, Sunny's expression had softened slightly at Luc
It was late at night. A black full-size Lincoln SUV is driving into an extravagant mansion in A City’s most expensive suburb.Inside the mansion.Bianca Rayne’s eyes were covered with a silk blindfold.He did not want her to know who he was.“Don’t be afraid. Take deep breaths.“You can do it, Bianca. There’s nothing more important than getting Dad a liver transplant so he can live. It’s fine to sacrifice a little for Dad.”She could not ignore the sound of the car entering the mansion.Now that it had come to this, all she could do was keep talking to herself, to persuade and comfort herself.When Luke Crawford walked in, his body tall and his spine straight, he immediately saw Bianca, who was standing in his room. She was young, in the prime of her youth—“H-Hello…” She could sense his body approaching, so she instinctively took a step back despite the blindfold, stuttering as she greeted him stiffly.She had thought that the past few days of mental preparation had left her
Once he was done, the man left.Bianca was exhausted to the point of passing out. She stayed curled up on the bed for a long, long time.The doctors said it was easier for her to conceive this way.…This continued for more nights than she could keep track of. Luke Crawford would come to the mansion every night, no matter how late his work kept him. He never failed to show up.The middle-aged driver who followed Luke around, Charles Finn, was Faye’s husband. Both of them were experienced in these things, so they really wanted to give their young master a word of advice. These things should be taken slowly! Rushing it would only be unhealthy!However, their haughty and aloof young master was also known for being a harsh employer with the cold face of a devil. He was famous for being hard to handle!The couple had no choice but to keep their mouths shut!They could only watch as that young girl was rendered limp and listless every day thanks to their young master’s energetic dema
“Hear me out, Kevin. We only have two daughters, right? I know, Marie isn’t your daughter by birth, but she’s called you her father all her life…”Before Jennifer finished that sentence, Kevin interrupted her. He had been recuperating in bed for many months now, and he was already feeling much better. “What are you trying to say? Just tell me straight. After all, I’m your loving husband.”“I know you love me and our Marie..” Jennifer held Kevin’s hand, so thin that it was practically skin over bone, and said softly, “You mentioned that you’d send Bianca overseas to study after she graduates from high school right? Our Marie is only two years older than Bianca, and all she does these days is hang around bars. She’s not going to class properly at all, and I’m worried sick. After all, she is my only biological child! Kevin, I want Marie to study overseas with Bianca!”Bianca stood outside the door, frowning slightly.Marie was twenty years old this year, and she had somehow learned ho
Bianca shook her head and forced herself to not think about the mother whose name and face she did not know. That woman was a stranger to her.After a while, her phone rang.The caller was Bianca’s best friend, Nina Langdon.Bianca picked up.“Hi! It’s been a long time since we video-called. Why are you trying to avoid me?” Nina complained into the phone. She rested her cheek on her hand dejectedly, saying, “Are you sure you wanna go to the UK, Bea? What if someone bullies you there? My fists don’t reach that far.“Also! I hear that guys mature early overseas, and loads of school dorms are co-ed! You gotta be really careful about that when you go there! Hey, do you understand what I’m getting at? Forget it, I’ll just be open with you. If you really can’t hold back when you see those foreign hotties! Remember to use protection!”On her screen, Bianca could see that Nina was sitting in a small restaurant. It seemed like she had just ordered her food and was waiting for it to arrive
When Bianca next set foot in the busy A City once more, five years had passed. She had been away for almost two thousand days and nights. It was not a very long time, but it was not nothing either.Back then, she had been pushed about mercilessly by destiny. She had been completely powerless!Now, she just wanted to use her own strength to take control of her life with her own hands.It was morning.“Bea, over here—” Nina wound down her car window and waved at Bianca, who was walking out of her suburb.Time had passed. Five years later, the two of them were no longer clueless girls of eighteen or nineteen.Bianca and Jean had returned to the country together yesterday, and Nina had been the one to pick them up from the airport.That night, Jean had taken Bianca back to the Langdons’ place for dinner.Mr. and Mrs. Langdon were more than happy with Bianca as their future daughter-in-law.That morning, Jean had wanted to go to the interview at the company with Bianca, but someth
