Chapter 1042 His Love for Bianca Was So Deep
"Daddy..." Rainie's eyes were bloodshot.
"I trust you, Daddy." Lanie held his sister's hand. "We can take care of ourselves. You must bring Mommy back."
Luke crouched down and stretched out the pinky finger of his right hand.
That was what Bianca did when she made a promise to the children. "I promise."
Rainie made a pinky promise with her father. "Mommy will come back," she mumbled.
"Mommy will come back.” Lanie also made a pinky promise with Luke.
Luke patted their heads and said, "I'll be busy in the next few days. Let Mr. Griffin take care of you, and don't give him any trouble, alright?" "Alright, Daddy. I'll take care of Rainie and Tommy." Lanie took up the responsibility so that Luke would not have to worry about them.
Luke saw the determination in his son's eyes. "Brush your teeth and go to bed." "Yes, Daddy." Rainie wiped her tears and went to the bathroom. Lanie also returned to his bedroom.
Luke was at ease that his children were so mature.
After Lanie and Rainie slept, Luke went to the study and turned on the computer. Gale had already sent him the name list of the important people from the Island of Despair.
Those people had imprisoned him on the Island of Despair and tried to brainwash him. It took him a lot of willpower to withstand the brainwashing, and he managed to fool Kassy and Robert.
Even so, Robert did not offer him any freedom.
He could only find out more about the island at night when everyone else was asleep. He had never seen the faces of many of the important people.
Luke compared the facial composite to the information he was given. Even up until the last page, he did not find a match.
He dialed Gale's phone number.
"Did you find anything, Boss?" Gale was also worried about Bianca. It might be dangerous if Bianca fell into the hands of someone from the Island of Despair, but at least they would have gotten a lead.
"None of the pictures match." Luke's voice was sullen. "Are these all the important people?"
Gale paused for a while. "There's one more, but Rain and I have never seen him before. He's Robert’s godson, and he would always be wearing a mask. Other than Robert and Kassy, probably no one else has seen his true face." "Did he manage to escape?" Luke knocked on the table. He was deep in thought.
"No," Gale replied. "He had a big fight about Kassy with Robert two years ago, and he has already left the island on his own accord."
Luke stopped knocking on the table. "Track him down." "Yes," Gale replied, "But it'll be hard to track him down. The man is elusive."
It had been two years since that man left the Island of Despair, and Gale did not know what the man looked like. There were not many leads.
Luke was silent. He did not know that Robert had another godson. He would not have known about it if not that Gale had been working for Robert for a long time.
"Do your best," he said.
"Yes, Boss." He was prepared to do his best even if Luke did not tell him.
He and Rain hoped that Bianca would return safely.
He knew that Luke was devoted to Bianca. If anything happened to her, there would be big trouble in A City.
Late at night, at the hospital. Property © .
When Leia woke up, she realized that she had been tricked by the nurse. The shot was not going to stop her bleeding, but instead, it was a tranquilizer shot!
She gripped the bed sheets and tried to sit up.
The caretaker who had been sleeping on the couch was awoken by Leia's movements. She turned on the lights, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Leia." You're awake, Ms. Norman." "Who are you?" Leia frowned. She looked around the ward and did not see Jack or Queenie.
"Mr. Norman hired me to take care of you." The caretaker stood up and walked up next to the coffee table. "Why are you sitting up? Please lie down. The doctor said that your body is still weak. You should lie down and rest." "Have my parents gone home?" Leia asked. She was unhappy that her parents had stopped her from looking for Brody, conspired with the doctor to give her a tranquilizer shot, and had gone home instead of staying in the hospital to take care of her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
"Yes. Mrs. Norman wasn't feeling well, so Mr. Norman brought her back home. He also reminded you to eat the fish soup so that you'll get some nutrition." The caretaker opened a flask, and the fragrance of the soup instantly filled up the ward.
Leia saw that her phone was charging, and she took it. "Did anyone touch my phone?" "No." The caretaker brought the fish soup to Leia.
Leia did not take the bowl from her. She got off the bed instead.
The caretaker grabbed her with one hand. "Where are you going, Mrs. Norman?"
Leia chuckled coldly. "Did my parents tell you to stop me from going anywhere?" "No..." The caretaker shook her head, "But your body is still weak, and you might bleed again if you move about." "Don't touch me. I want to go to the bathroom." Leia could feel a dull ache from her womb. It should be part of the side effects of the induced labor. She gritted her teeth hatefully when she thought of the baby and Brody.
The caretaker withdrew her hand sheepishly.
Leia took her phone to the washroom and locked the door before dialing Hera's number.
"Hello." Hera sounded as though she had been roused from her sleep.
Leia was furious. Why would Hera be sleeping when something so serious happened?
"It's me. Is Bianca dead yet?" She spoke softly in case the caretaker overheard her.
"She's gone either way, and she'll never come back." Hera's tone was cheerful. Even though Abel did not kill Bianca, she knew that it was only a matter of time that he did. Moreover, she did not owe anything to Maxine anymore.
"My baby is gone," Leia said as she subconsciously touched her flat stomach.
Hera knew about that too. She cracked her knuckles and smiled. "That's your own problem. You wouldn't have miscarried if you hadn't been careless and drank from that cup." "It's all your fault!” Leia
gritted her teeth when she heard Hera speak as though it had nothing to do with her.
"You didn't tell me the plan. You'll have to compensate me!" She threatened her. If Hera had told her that the cup of water was drugged, she would not have drunk from it! "Now that I've lost everything, and if that man knows that my baby is gone, I'll be dead too. I don't mind telling Luke everything and bringing the operation down. What do you think he'll do to you?"
