Chapter 1000 It’s Scary

Luke quickly drove his car to the front door. Louis carried Thea into the car while Yuri pressed the bandage tightly on her head.

Susan also went along to the hospital.

Bianca looked at the bloodstains and the broken shards of the antique vase on the corridor. The stench of blood was thick. She could not forget how lifeless Thea seemed as she lay on the floor.

"I'm scared, Mommy." Rainie took a step back and hid behind Bianca. She stuck her head out to look at the blood on the floor.

"I'm scared too." Tommy also hid behind Bianca. He did not know why Thea was bleeding or why she did not answer when the adults called her name.

Bianca covered the children’s eyes and glanced at Lanie. His cute little face remained cool, and Bianca was impressed by his maturity.

"It's fine. Let's go back to bed," she coaxed the children softly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Mm," Rainie replied softly and looked away from the bloody floor.

After Tommy fell asleep, Bianca went to Rainie's bedroom to check on her. The little girl's eyes remained open, and Bianca could see that they were filled with fear.

Bianca's heart wrenched. She sat on the bed next to her and tucked her in." Don't think about it, Rainie. Close your eyes and sleep.” "Mommy, will Thea be alright?" Rainie turned her head to look at her. After her father's ordeal, she knew what was injury and death.

Earlier, she heard Thea scream and saw her lying motionless in a pool of blood as though she were dead. Rainie was worried and afraid.

Bianca gently patted Rainie's shoulder and comforted her. "She's at the hospital now, and the doctors will do their best to save her. Don't worry, alright?"

Rainie might still be very young, but Bianca did not want to make empty promises to her. Even an adult would be shocked by the scene earlier, much less a child.

Who could have been so cruel as to harm a child?

"I don't want to sleep, Mommy. I want to wait for Thea's news." Rainie gripped the blanket tightly because she felt safer that way.

Bianca gently touched Rainie's forehead. "Be a good girl and sleep. If I have any news about Thea, you'll be the first one to know." "Alright, Mommy." Rainie blinked and closed her eyes.

She was quite traumatized by the incident, but she did not show it so that her mother did not worry.

After Rainie fell asleep, Bianca carefully stood up and quietly left the bedroom.

Old Master Crawford and Allison remained in the corridor.

When Old Master Crawford saw Bianca, he asked her, "Is Rainie asleep?" "Mm, she is." Bianca nodded. She looked at the drying blood on the floor and asked, "Shall we inform the police, Grandpa?" "Yes, we must!" Old Master Crawford tried to keep his angry voice down in case he woke the children up.

He would not forgive the person who had stolen his antiques and harmed Thea!

"I'll do it now." Bianca shot a glance at Allison when she walked past her. Allison was staring at the bloodstains, seemingly in a daze.

When the police knew that someone had broken into Crawford Manow, they said that they would immediately send someone over.

After Bianca ended the call, she heard Allison say, "The blood looks so scary, Dad. How about we get the caretaker to clean it up? If Rainie or Tommy comes out from their rooms later, they'd be frightened. Also, look at the broken vase. I don’t want anyone to get hurt."

Old Master Crawford glared at her. That woman seemed to have dropped her brain when faced with danger. The broken vase and the bloodstains were important evidence, and the police might find some fingerprints on them. "Wait for the police," he said.

"But it's scary."' Allison shuddered as though she was scared.

She was not too concerned about Thea being hurt, but she was afraid that the police might collect evidence that led to Jon. If that were the case, she might be exposed as the mastermind.

She was anxious that Old Master Crawford did not let her clean up the evidence.

Old Master Crawford glared at her. She was already in her fifties, but she got flustered so easily whenever an incident happened. Even Bianca was better.

"Go back to your room if you're scared," he reprimanded her coldly.

Allison was surprised by Old Master Crawford's reaction. She did not do anything, but the old man had released his anger on her. She kept her mouth shut, but she had an additional thought in her head.

How great would it be if Jon had smashed that vase on that old man instead of Thea!

Ever since she was brought into the household, Old Master Crawford had been prejudiced against her despite putting up an unbiased front. She might have already lost her foothold in the family if not that Luke was more capable than Louis!

Hatred burned in Allison's chest as she lowered her head and looked at the bloodstains.

Bianca walked over and said softly, "The police will be here soon, Grandpa. I've also informed the manager of the security company, and he'll be here soon." "Good job," Old Master Crawford praised her despite being angry.

Bianca was meticulous and thoughtful. Compared to Allison, Bianca seemed to be the more experienced one.

Allison sneered disdainfully when she heard Old Master Crawford praise Bianca. "I'll go and get some water."

Actually, she wanted to remove the signal jammer.

Jon had already switched off the signal jammer before he left, but he did not bring it away. The police might discover it if she did not remove it.

Old Master Crawford ignored her. Bianca stayed in the corridor in case the children woke up and could not find her.

Allison breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one followed her. She poured a glass of water in the kitchen, sat down in the living room to drink, and pretended to drop the glass accidentally. While picking up the glass, she also picked up the signal jammer from under the coffee table.

Bianca opened the windows and turned on the fans in the house to clear the stench of blood.

Old Master Crawford remained silent when he saw all that.

The police came and began to collect evidence. Five minutes later, the manager of the security company arrived with the technicians.

It took them an hour to settle everything.

Bianca listened to the manager of the security company as he reported his findings to Old Master Crawford. "The security feed was disrupted at the time of the incident. Our technicians are trying their best to restore the footage.."
