Chapter 1061 I Miss Them, Eler
Shanks observed Bianca eating the spaghetti. After not eating anything for a few days, Bianca found it difficult to swallow.
She did not complain. Instead, she chewed slowly and swallowed carefully.
Shanks was secretly impressed.
Abel was Robert’s successor and wielded supreme power on the Island of Despair. No one under him had the right to talk back.
However, Bianca, a powerless woman, managed to negotiate with him. What surprised him the most was that she did not ask for Eler's younger brother's release by offering him money.
Instead, she offered her unborn child for the life of a stranger, and Abel actually accepted the offer.
Shanks grunted coldly, feeling something in his usually cold heart. He turned around and prepared to walk away. At the door, he stopped and said, "Don't eat too much in your first meal in a while. You should still eat your supplements and only stop when you can eat the normal amount."
When Eler heard that, she replied on behalf of Bianca, "Yes, Mr. Shanks."
She sounded quite agitated because she would be reunited with her younger brother soon. All that was thanks to Bianca.
After Shanks left, Bianca showed a look of discomfort on her face. "Please get me a glass of water."
Seeing that Bianca was going to throw up, Eler immediately poured her a glass of warm water.
Bianca took a big gulp without any hesitation.
"Are you alright, Miss? Shall I get Mr. Shanks for you?" Eler asked worriedly.
"No need." Bianca took a deep breath to suppress the churning in her stomach. She had not eaten for a few days, and her stomach was not used to the oily food.
She forked some more spaghetti, washed it a little in the water, then took the bite.
Eler instantly understood. "I'll get a bigger glass of water for you.” "Thank you." Bianca's face was pale.
"Don't say that, Miss," Eler said when she returned with another glass of water. She fell on her knees and said, "I should be the one to thank you. Miss. You saved my younger brother's life."
Bianca wanted to stop Eler from kneeling, but she did not have much strength. She could only shake her head and said, "It's nothing. Please get up. Where I'm from, it's bad luck for someone to kneel at you."
She made up an excuse so that Eler would get up. This belongs to - ©.
When Eler heard that, she instantly stood up and dusted her knees. "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
Bianca did not say anything and continued to eat her spaghetti.
She knew that Eler was worried about her younger brother, so she took the opportunity to ask Abel for him.
Her final objective was to get out of the place, and helping Eler was part of the plan. She needed a person whom she could trust. If she could get Eler's younger brother, that would make two people.
If she were to escape in the future, she needed their help, just like how Luke had Gale and Rain's help.
Bianca took a few more bites. Now that her stomach was not empty anymore, she felt a lot better. "Hand me the supplements," she said.
Eler was already shedding tears of gratitude when she handed the supplements to Bianca.
It was the first time that Bianca had asked for the supplements herself. It looked as though her will to live was back again.
Eler did not have to worry that Bianca would try to kill herself or that her brother would be injured.
Half an hour later, Bianca frowned. "Why isn't he here yet?"
Eler explained, "This underground complex is very vast. It covers more than half the island. We're at the east of the island, while the training grounds are in the west. It'll take some time to get here."
Bianca frowned, though she was quite surprised that the underground complex was bigger than she thought.
"Have you been to all the places?" She asked nonchalantly.
"No. I'm only a captive, and there are many places that I can't go. At first, I was brought to the training grounds. Then, I was brought here to be a servant before I met you. We don't have the freedom to go anywhere we please."
After seeing Bianca drink all the supplements, Eler asked, "Do you want some water, Miss?" "No." Bianca shook her head and sat on the bed.
Five minutes later, Eler's younger brother came to the room.
"Amur!" Eler cried tears of joy when she saw the thin frame of her younger brother Amur. She rushed forward and hugged him.
"Eler!" Amur started crying when he saw her.
Bianca's heart wrenched when she saw the siblings reunite. Eler and Amur looked like each other, just like how Lanie and Rainie were alike. She wondered how her children had been.
Now that the two children were mature, Luke would not be able to hide the fact that she had gone missing from them. She wondered how Luke would explain it to the children and if they would cry over her disappearance.
Tears welled up in Bianca's eyes when she thought of that.
Eler held her younger brother's hands and said, "She's our savior, Amur.
You'll have to serve her with all your heart."
Eler said "our savior" instead of "your savior" because Bianca had saved herby saving Amur.
Amur nodded. He wiped his tears and was about to fall on his knees when Eler stopped him. "Miss says that where is from, kneeling will bring the other person bad luck."
Amur could only stand up. He had been malnourished because he did not achieve his training goals, which made his already weak body even weaker.
"Thank you, Miss. I, Amur, swear that I will serve you with my life," he said.
All he wanted was to live together with his elder sister, and Bianca had helped him do so. He would be forever indebted to her.
"Your life is your own. Your name is Amur, right? Promise me that you'll treat your own life with respect," Bianca said. She did not want either of the siblings' lives but rather being able to escape from this place.
"Yes!" Amur could not stop his tears, even though he thought that men should not cry.
He had been oppressed and bullied for so long that he forgot that his life was his own. Bianca had reminded him that no one deserved to control him.
Bianca sighed when she looked at the two siblings. She missed her three children a lot.
"I'm a little tired. You can go out for now," she said.
"Yes!" Amur nodded, turned around, stepped out of the room, and guarded the entrance.
Bianca slowly lay down and closed her eyes while Eler covered her with a blanket.
"I miss them, Eler." It was the first time Bianca had divulged her thoughts.
