Chapter 1049 Would Not Be Able To Escape

Eler saw that Bianca had woken up. She took out a thermometer and stuffed it under her armpit.

Bianca opened her mouth and noticed her mouth was no longer stuffed with anything. She tilted her head only to see an unfamiliar Westernlooking face. She then asked weakly, "Where is this place?" "I can’t tell you that." Eler shook her head, her blue eyes glinting with terror. She was not born and raised here but brought captive to this place.

Bianca glanced at the surroundings and noticed she was still locked up in a room with only a door and no window.

She wanted to sit up, but when she supported herself on the bed, her body felt weak and she quickly fell onto the bed.

Eler quickly discarded the towel that was drenched in alcohol aside and came over to check whether Bianca was injured. "Are you alright?"

Bianca ignored her and insisted on sitting up.

Eler came over to help her up. "Miss, you're still having a fever. Please refrain from moving about."

Bianca looked at the young lady and saw her crystal clear eyes. She did not seem like someone from the Island of Despair. She grabbed Eler's hand." Please help me, I want to escape from this place."

Eler was caught by surprise by Bianca's words. She looked at the entrance and after ensuring there was no one coming in, she shook her head and said, "Miss, it's fruitless even if you can escape from this place. We're on an island surrounded by the ocean and there are no boats or airplanes. You won’t be able to escape."

Bianca was thrown into despair and glanced hard at the wall.

Eler was very familiar with such an expression. She had seen many captives. Whenever they were being tortured, they would often reveal such an expression and then think of all methods to end their lives. She immediately hugged Bianca. “Miss, please don't do anything silly. Even if you're not thinking about yourself, at the very least, think about the future of the child in your womb."

Bianca was stunned, feeling as though a storm had overtaken a sunny day. She turned around stiffly. She glanced at the young lady who was hugging her. "What did you just say?" "That's what Dr. Shanks said. You're pregnant," said Eler.

Bianca's tears came streaming down. She lowered her head and looked at her flat stomach. "How is this possible..." "Dr. Shanks said it himself. There won't be any mistakes." Eler thought that Bianca would not be so cruel to the point she would even harm her child. She let go of her hand and put on a serious look. "Miss, you must think positively."

Abel said that she would be in grave danger if anything were to happen to Bianca. Hence, she was keeping a close eye on Bianca.

Bianca just lay flat on the bed as her mind went blank. 'Why did I get pregnant at this time?'

Eler could not bring herself to see Bianca like this. She held Bianca's hand and placed it on her stomach, saying, "There's a new life here. So, please don't think negatively, Miss." "I need some space.- Bianca clenched her fists and shut her eyes, not willing to say another word.

Eler dared not say another line when she saw her looking so dispirited. She then said softly, "Alright. I'll help you take your body temperature again."

Bianca allowed her to pick up the thermometer and stuff it under her armpit.

Eler waited for a moment and took out the thermometer once again. She looked at it, and it was 38 degrees Celsius, which meant she was still having a fever.

She picked up the towel drenched with alcohol and inched closer to Bianca, saying, "Miss, you're still having a fever. Allow me to wipe you with this towel."

Bianca did not respond.

Eler gently wiped Bianca's body. She used alcohol to reduce her body temperature.

After half an hour, Bianca's body temperature dropped to 37 degrees Celsius. Eler glanced at the thermometer again and let out a breath of relief. She whispered into Bianca's ear, "Miss, please get some rest."

Bianca was still not giving any response.

Eler took the thermometer and walked out of the room, looking for Abel.

She saw the man sitting on the sofa and smoking a cigar. Terror started surging from within her. "This is the man who destroyed my family and made all my relatives and friends become fugitives.'

Eler resented him but was scared at the same time.

"Has her fever gone down?" Abel looked at her terrified face but did not pity her at all. He asked coldly.

"I just managed to reduce her fever. This is her temperature earlier." Eler's hands kept shaking as she passed the thermometer to let him check.

Abel did not look at it and extinguished the cigar before getting up. He smirked coldly. "As long as she's not dead."

He walked into the room where Bianca was being locked up.

Bianca had her eyes closed when she heard footsteps approaching. She did not open her eyes but knew it was Abel who came in.

She tried not to think about it but could not help but clench her fists.

Abel kicked the side of the bed and said coldly, "Do you know you're pregnant?"

Bianca opened her eyes and looked at him, her eyes glinting with hatred.

"Stop thinking about ways to commit suicide. If Luke knows that you killed his child, he’ll definitely hate you." Abel touched the beard on his chin and put on an evil smile.

Bianca felt the blood within her freeze as though the alcohol that was used to wipe her body earlier had taken all her warmth.

‘Why? Why must I be pregnant at this time... If I give birth to this child, it’ll definitely be a burden to Luke.’

Bianca did not want such a thing to happen. However, after learning that she was pregnant, she could not bear to harm herself.

It was just like back when Luke was captured and brought to the Island of Despair. She endured it all and did not allow herself to fall. It was the same when she received the baton from Luke to manage the Crawford family and T Corporation. During that time, her children were her greatest support. 1

Abel looked at Bianca's stomach. Back then, he was in love with Kassy and wished that they would have children of their own.

However, Kassy was still locked up in prison and he had lost everything. All of this was thanks to Luke. 'Who is he to deserve one kid after another?!'

If it were not because Bianca giving birth to this child would bring him more advantages, he would have forced her to abort it.

Looking at Bianca's quiet expression made Abel aware that she was confused.

"Bianca, do you think that by being quiet, you'll be able to escape from this reality?" Abel bent over.

A strong scent of smoke came rushing to her, making her feel nauseated.

Eler brought over a tray and broke the tense atmosphere.

Abel stood up and squinted while looking at her. "Is there anything?" "This is the tonic that Dr. Shanks prepared for Miss..." Eler trembled. The man’s spooky and hawk-like eyes resembled two shurikens, making her feel as though they would stab her heart if she locked gazes with him.

The moment Abel heard it was Dr. Shanks who prepared it, he clenched Bianca's chin and snorted coldly. "You'd better take good care of your child. You'll have to die if anything happens to you or your child."

He let go of her and pointed at Eler.

Eler shrieked out of fear and the tray in her hands fell on the floor. The bowl of tonic broke into pieces.

"Do you have a death wish?" Abel was utterly exasperated when he saw her spilling the tonic on the floor.

"I’m so sorry, boss. I'll go get Miss another bowl of tonic." Eler kneeled down and quickly picked up the broken shards before running out with the tray in her hands. Property © .

In no time, she brought in another bowl of hot tonic.

"Take good care of her." After Abel was done ordering Eler, he spun around and left the room.

"Alright, boss." Eler was terrified. She looked at Bianca, who was on the bed. She was still lying down on the bed when Abel left the room.

Eler placed the tray at the cabinet by the bed. She turned around to lock the door and returned to the side of the bed, advising Bianca, "Drink some tonic, Miss."
