Chapter 1094 Bea, Are You Really Back?

Luke was silent.

Just like Wanda, he had the same unfamiliar feeling with the woman in the ward. He had been telling himself that Bianca had changed a lot after the trauma she had experienced.

Wanda was silent when she saw that Luke did not say anything. "I understand that you have reasonable doubts, Luke. I might be Bianca's aunt, but I won't say anything if you decide to investigate."

Luke nodded slightly. 'Til go in and take a look at Bianca."

Wanda nodded. 'Til go home first. Bea's grandfather is still waiting. I hope you can give some consideration to what I said." "I'll consider it carefully," Luke said thoughtfully.

After Wanda left, Luke went into the ward.

The nurse taking care of Bianca nodded toward him, then left the ward to give the married couple some personal space.

Luke moved close to the bed and looked at Bianca, who was sleeping soundly.

Ever since she was admitted to the hospital, she had been either behaving hysterically or sitting there in a daze. She responded to no one, had to be sedated through medication, and barely ate or drank anything. In just a week, she was visibly thinner.

The children at home wanted to meet their mother very much, but Bianca was in a terrible state. Luke could only find excuses to stall them.

The media outlets found that Bianca was found and even caught wind of what happened in D City. They staked out at Crawford Manor, T Corporation, and the hospital, hoping to get the latest scoop.

Bianca's return caused a sensation in A City.

"Bea, are you really back?" Luke asked.

Bianca did not respond.

Luke looked at Bianca's hair. His gaze wavered when he thought of what Wanda told him.

Eventually, he did not touch her.

Bianca was in this mental state because of her trauma. He still believed that the woman was truly Bianca.

Luke pulled his hand back, sat down next to her, and covered her with the blanket.

The news that Bianca was found soon spread to the capital.

Maxine was furious when she heard about it. She immediately went to her bedroom and called Abel.

After the call went through, Maxine started yelling into the phone. "What's the meaning of this, Abel? I've already forgiven you for not killing Bianca, but why did you set her free? What should I do?"

Abel frowned and moved the phone away from his ear when he heard that voice. He said, "I say, Ms. Douglas, why are you so agitated? Our deal was to deal with Bianca. I've never promised that I'll help you court Luke."

Maxine became even angrier when he mentioned that. "So what's the meaning of setting Bianca free?" "Are you sure that the woman is Bianca?" Abel smiled sinisterly and looked at the baby cot next to him. Bianca's daughter had fallen asleep after drinking milk.

The sleeping baby was like an angel. That only made Abel want to destroy the baby even more.

Maxine was shocked. "What do you mean? Are you saying that the woman Luke found is an impostor?" "Indeed. I've arranged it." Abel reached out and poked the baby's cheek.

The baby pouted to show her dissatisfaction to the person who disturbed her, but she did not wake up.

Maxine lost her temper at that instant. "Why do you do that? How am I going to win Luke's heart after this?"

Ever since the drugging incident, her father had kept a strict eye on her and did not let her step out of the house.

Even so, she could not stop thinking about Luke. She sank into despair when she found out that Bianca was back.

"I've told you that whether you manage to court Luke is none of my business. I don't provide any after- sales service. Also, I have my reasons why I arranged an impostor Bianca. How can you blame me when you can’t court him after nine months?" Abel's voice was suffused with impatience.

He made it clear that he did not promise to help Maxine win Luke's heart.

Even if he did, he would break his promise, just like what Capital Corp did.

The breach of contract dealt a huge blow to his plans. He had to dig into the funds that Robert left for him to finance the pharmaceutical company. That was why he arranged for an impostor Bianca despite knowing that Maxine was still trying to court Luke.

"You!" Maxine bit her lip. Abel sounded calm, but she could hear the mockery in his tone.

He was implying that Maxine was not capable.

Backed into a corner, Maxine said hatefully, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Luke that the woman is an impostor? He'll find out everything if he sends her DNA for analysis!"

Abel narrowed his gaze, not threatened by what Maxine said. "Go and tell him if you wish. I'll have to remind you that we're on the same boat now. If you ruin my plans, I won't let you off that easily too." "You've gone too far, Abel!" Maxine hung up angrily.

Abel was not in a hurry to call back. He knew that Maxine was not stupid.

She would not spoil his plans just because of an impostor Bianca.

However, Maxine's words reminded him of something: He could fake Bianca's appearance but not her DNA.

Abel dialed a number on his phone and said, "Help me do something..."

Meanwhile, Bianca ate her meal, prepared her baby's dinner, and put on her clothes. Shanks came into the room.

Bianca was shocked. After seeing that it was Shanks, she handed the flask to Eler and said, "Please help me deliver this to the kitchen lady, Eler." "Yes, Miss." Eler took the flask. Her gaze lingered on Shanks's face for one second before looking away and leaving the room with her head lowered.

"Why are you here?" Bianca asked.

"For an examination." Shanks walked over and revealed a syringe. "Roll up your sleeve. I want to take some blood.”

Bianca did what she was told because she knew that she could not say no.

Shanks deftly tied Bianca's arm with a thick rubber band, found the vein, and inserted the needle.

Her blood slowly filled up the small vial.

Abel pulled out the needle and pressed her arm with a cotton pad.

"I can do it myself." Bianca pressed on the cotton pad so that blood did not spurt from her arm.

After packing up the vial, Shanks took a zipper bag and a pair of scissors from his pocket.

"What do you want?" Bianca was not afraid when she saw the scissors in Shanks's hand. If Shanks wanted to kill her, he had plenty of opportunities to do so.

Shanks did not reply. He snipped off a lock of hair. Before she could react, he also plucked two strands of hair from her head.: owner of this content.
