Chapter 1039 Heart-Wrenching Cry

The nurse deftly administered the shot and comforted Leia. "It'll hurt a little later on. You should close your eyes and rest for five minutes."

Leia slowly closed her eyes.

The nurse turned around and spoke to Jack, "Let me dress your wound, Mr. Norman." "Thank you," Jack said as he lifted his injured arm.

Five minutes later, the tranquilizer took effect, and Leia fell silent.

Queenie covered her with the blanket, went to Jack's side, and gently touched his hand. "Does it hurt?" "It's fine." Jack shook his head. After sterilizing the wound, the nurse carefully wrapped it with gauze. It did not hurt even if he pressed it.

Queenie sighed. Her eyes were puffed up. "You've been a stern father since Leia was small, but you’ve never punished her. Leia respects you a lot, but now, she bit you..." "That's enough." Jack glanced at Leia. The tranquilizer had taken effect, and Leia was incapacitated for now. He told Queenie, "Take care of Leia. I'll go and look for Luke." "Alright." Queenie nodded. Her unease grew whenever she thought of Bianca.

Luke was in Sean's ward.

Sean had already woken up from the anesthesia. He and a few police officers were making the facial composite. His testimony was the most important because he was the only one who had seen the mastermind of the operation.

"This is it, Officer," Sean said. He could use his left hand as well as his right.

The police officer handed the facial composite to Luke.

His face turned ashen when he saw the face. He turned around and said to

Ripley, "Do whatever it takes to find this person." "Yes, Boss." Ripley took a photo of the facial composite with his phone.

Luke continued to hear Sean give his statement to the police. According to Sean, the culprits were there for Bianca, and they wanted to kill her.

After recording the statement, the police said, "Don't worry, Mr. Crawford. We'll do our best to solve this case. We'll be sending the facial composite back to the police station and issuing a citywide bounty for this man. We'll also guard every exit point so that he can't run away."

Luke remained impassive after hearing all that.

The police would not be able to arrest a criminal of that level, just like the police were not able to do anything to the Island of Despair.

Luke headed out of the ward.

Sean stopped him. "Sorry, Boss. I didn’t manage to protect Madam."

He would have gotten on his knees if not that he was confined to the bed after the operation. Luke had hired him to take care of Bianca, but he had failed to do that.

"You didn't," Luke said and left the ward.

Johann was coming over. When he saw Luke, he said, "I've already fixed your subordinate's hand. Fortunately, only the bones are broken, and the nerves are undamaged. His hand will be as good as new after the bones heal." "Mm." Luke remained cold and distant.

Johann was puzzled. "What's going on with you? He's still alive, but you act as though he's dead."

Luke had asked for his help to save Sean's hand, and he had successfully done so. Why did Luke look so unhappy?

"Just do your job." Luke glanced at Johann coldly and left.

He met Jack downstairs.

"Can we chat?" Luke said.

Luke nodded. He despised Leia, but he did not hate Jack. Bianca inherited most of her looks from Queenie, but he could see some common features between Bianca and her father.

The two came to the hospital cafeteria.

Jack was not going to defend Leia. He did not beat around the bush either. "I think that Leia isn't innocent. I'll try to find out something from her, but it'll be difficult because she's still emotionally unstable."

Luke raised an eyebrow, but he was not too surprised. He thought for a while and eventually said, "Thank you, Dad." "Bianca is my birth daughter. I wouldn't let her suffer like this..." Jack sighed.

Luke's expression was cold. Jack had recognized that Bianca was his daughter, but Leia had always denied it and had even tried to harm her multiple times.

He would not forgive her if he found out that she was the one behind it!

"Bea will be fine. I can sense it," Jack said. He could not bear to see Luke being so cold because of Bianca.

He glanced at the time. He had left the ward for quite a long time, and he was worried that Queenie might not be able to take care of Leia alone. He stood up and said, "Back then, when my wife was pregnant with Bianca, everyone told me that my daughter wouldn't survive. I didn't believe it. My intuition told me that my daughter will be alright. To find the truth, I've also hired many people to help with the investigation. Times are different now, and technology has improved. It's easier to investigate something now. If you need any help, just tell me. I'll help you even if it costs me my job."

After giving the promise, Jack turned around and left.

Luke sat on the chair. He sank in deep thought.

A while later, he gave a call to Gale. "Do you remember the people on the Island of Despair?" "Yes, Boss, I remember," Gale replied.

"Give me all your information on them," Luke said. He was worried that someone from the Island of Despair had abducted Bianca.

Gale did not know why Luke wanted that. Boss, most of the people from the Island of Despair were killed or arrested in the subsequent operations. Why do you want their information?" "Bianca was abducted. I suspect that some people have gotten away," Luke said.

Gale was shocked. "I'll get you the name list now." "Be quick and detailed. After confirming their identities, contact the Russian police to see if they're in prison," Luke said. All he knew was that Bianca's last known location was at the port. He did not know who had abducted her.

"Understood," Gale replied and went to carry out Luke's orders.

Luke drove to the port. The night was dark, the waves splashed on the walls, and the wind was strong, bringing in the scent of the sea and a faint hint of rain. A storm was brewing somewhere. He looked into the distance, and there was not a ship sailing.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

His phone rang. It was from Crawford Manor.

He answered the call.

The butler sounded nervous, "Where are you, Sir? Master Tommy is crying, and he wants you and... Madam."

Tommy cried even harder when he heard that. Luke had never heard Tommy cry so hard before.
