Chapter 1050 She Could Only Choose To Live
Bianca widened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.
Eler looked at the blank stare in her eyes and pitied her. She conveyed Shanks' instructions, "This is what Dr. Shanks specifically prescribed for you and it's very good for restoring your energy. You were sailing across the ocean for so many days and your body is very weak now. Besides, this tonic can alleviate all the side effects one would have during pregnancy."
Still, Bianca did not move an inch as though she was petrified.
Eler suddenly got down on her knees. "Miss, I'm begging you, please don't torture yourself. Or else, my little brother is going to be in deep trouble..."
She was well aware that if the woman on the bed did not recover, her entire family would be in trouble. She did not mind being killed but her younger brother...
Bianca shifted her eyes. She had heard all the threatening words Abel said to Eler earlier.
"I don’t even have the right to do anything now?” Her comments carried traces of sorrow.
Eler shook her head. "That's not the case, Miss." "Your little brother is being held captive by Abel?" Bianca asked again. She slowly sat up and looked at the door.
Eler fell to the floor and her eyes became teary as she recalled the nightmare from the past. "Abel captured many of the youths in my village. He's planning to train them to become worthy underlings and my little brother is one of them..."
Her younger brother had a fragile body and was in an environment where he could die at any second. Abel once said that her younger brother would not die if she managed to serve Bianca well enough.
"If this baby is delivered, the child will be under Abel's control as well." After saying this, Bianca could not stop her tears from flowing down.
On one hand, it was her and Luke's child. On the other hand, her child might be captured by Abel right after she gave birth to them. She was not willing to discard the child, yet did not wish to deliver the baby.
"Miss, you must not give up on the child." Eler kneeled and placed both her hands on the side of the bed. "I'm not saying all this just for my sake. But during this period, it'll at least help you have peace.” "I don't wish for peace," said Bianca. What she wanted was to return to Luke's side. If that wish could not be granted, she would rather end her life.
However, just when she was determined to do so, fate did not allow her. It just happened that she was pregnant.
Bianca did not think of herself as a noble mother, but for the sake of Luke and the children, she was willing to give up on everything. As for the child in her womb, it was the fruit of the love between her and Luke.
"On this island, the boss is the scariest being. If you have a child, he won’t do anything to you. You can have peace for the next ten months, Miss. In other words, you can consider yourself lucky."
Eler uttered the words that were kept within her. People like them were just lowly beings in the eyes of Abel. They would consider themselves as lucky for being able to survive another day.
Bianca touched her stomach and asked, "How many months old is the child?"
In the past, she and Luke had taken precautions. She did not expect to still end up pregnant.
Eler answered, "According to what Dr. Shanks said, you're already more than one month along.” "It’s already been more than one month..." Bianca lowered her head and looked at her stomach. It would be hard to sense it if she was only one month into her pregnancy. As time went by, the baby would grow bigger in her womb and eventually have a heartbeat before slowly developing organs.
The child might perhaps look like her, or maybe they would resemble Luke.
"Give me the tonic." Bianca sighed. Under such circumstances, she had no choice but to keep living.
Eler immediately got up and served the tonic. "Let me feed you." "I'll drink it myself." Bianca did not want to have Eler feed her. Abel no longer restrained her hands as he knew that Bianca would not seek death so easily upon learning she was pregnant.
Eler nodded and passed the bowl of tonic over. "The tonic is no longer that hot, you should quickly drink it.”
Bianca looked at the almost black tonic and inched closer to sniff it. It smelled bitter. She lowered her head and drank the entire bowl.
Eler took the bowl and asked while feeling concerned, "Are you hungry, Miss?" "No. I just want to get some rest." Once again, Bianca lay down. She was not feeling hungry nor was she tired. However, deep in her heart, she felt this numbing sensation. If it were not because she did not want Eler to suffer from the consequences of her non-compliance, she would not have drunk that bowl of tonic.
Eler immediately kept quiet when she heard Bianca saying that. She just sat on the chair at the corner and kept an eye on her.
Bianca knew why Eler was acting like this. She just closed her eyes and did not say another word.
Two days later in A City.
Percy got into contact with the government of Russia and clarified that their military troops had long retreated from the Island of Despair. After greeting them, he got on the plane with Luke.
Their destination was the Island of Despair. However, before that, they would have to land at the airport in Moscow because after Ray got to know they were heading to the Island of Despair to look for Bianca, he voiced out his intention of joining the group to search for Bianca.
The flight took tens of hours before the plane finally landed at Moscow airport.
Ray was already ready.
After Luke and Percy found Ray, the three of them headed for the helicopter that had already been arranged prior.
Ray noticed the lifeless look on Luke's face. He knew Luke had not been sleeping well for the past few days due to his search for Bianca. He said," You're not looking too good." "I'm fine." Luke looked out the window, missing Bianca a lot.
Ray thought that Luke was just trying to hold himself together. He frowned and said, ‘We still have another two hours before arriving on the Island of Despair. You should take a nap." "No need forthat." Luke rejected his kind gesture.
Percy snorted and teased, "Do you really think you're Superman? If your wife really happens to be on the Island of Despair, how are you going to save her in such a state? You should consider yourself lucky if you didn't end up getting shot."
Luke felt a pinch in his heart and thought that his nagging was annoying. He might as well just shut his eyes.
'Will Bianca really be on the Island of Despair?' He had no idea. This was the only thing he could do now.
During this time, he was constantly investigating the mysterious guy, Robert. However, he had not received any valuable insight.
He was a man who always appeared with a mask. His identity was a mystery, and even the elders of the Island of Despair were uncertain of his identity.
Ray saw him closing his eyes and immediately ended his conversation with Luke. He turned around to ask Percy, "How's Vivian doing?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Percy shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the man beside him. "I'm not too sure about it. She was invited by Luke, so you should ask him instead."
Ray placed his gaze on Luke and the latter still had his eyes closed.
Despite worrying about his sister's condition, Ray thought that it had not been easy to get Luke to close his eyes. Hence, he suppressed the urge to continue questioning.
After two hours, the helicopter landed in the middle of the Island of Despair. It was the same spot Robert used to land his place. There were no buildings around. Hence, there was nothing to stop the plane from having a smooth landing.
Percy was the first to unfasten his seatbelt and jump down from the helicopter. He glanced at the empty Island of Despair. He whistled, feeling somewhat smug.
Outsiders thought that the Russian government had done something grand and eliminated an evil organization. However, the one who really eliminated the authority of the Island of Despair was still that man.
This abandoned land was the result of the bombs he placed.
