Chapter 1095 Stomach Flu
Bianca lifted her head in shock and saw Shanks placing her hair in the sealing bag. "What are you doing?" "Preventing Luke Crawford from discovering that the person is a fake Bianca Rayne." Shanks did not hide the truth from her. Now that she had delivered her baby and her health was recovering, he was not afraid that she might kill herself.
He expected that Bianca would be angry after hearing that. However, she smiled mockingly instead. Property © .
"How meticulous. How else do you plan to torment me?" She asked.
As Shanks looked at her mocking expression, his heart stung as though there was a tiny needle pricking it.
He picked up his things on the bed and left the room.
Bianca's mocking smile faded as she watched Shanks leave the room. She expected that Luke would suspect that the woman was only an impostor and get her DNA analyzed, but she did not expect that Abel and Shanks would think of that too.
If Luke performed a DNA test on that woman, they would be swapping her blood and hair samples.
Once they managed to fool Luke with the DNA samples, the lie would become the truth.
Luke would believe that the woman who looked like her was really her.
When she would eventually appear in front of him with a different face, he would not even look at her.
That was the truth. No matter how intelligent she and Luke were, Abel in the shadows was always a step ahead of them.
Shanks returned to his laboratory. He still felt the slight pain in his heart, as though a heart attack was coming.
He took out a bottle of heart pills, took one out, and swallowed it immediately.
Abel came in with Bianca's baby and noticed that Abel was swallowing a pill. "Hey, what happened to you? Why are you taking pills?" He asked curiously.
"It's nothing." Shanks's face turned ashen when Abel caught him in the act of taking medicine. He put the bottle of pills away and turned around.
When he saw the unprofessional way Abel was carrying the baby, he frowned and took the baby from Abel's hands.
Abel could not help but chuckle when he saw how nervous Shanks was." You seem to care for the baby a lot. Why don't you take care of her? That'll save me some trouble."
The baby was very young, but her personality was exactly like Bianca's.
She was adorable when she was quiet, but once she started throwing a tantrum, Abel had the urge to toss her on the floor to silence her.
"No." Shanks rejected the idea immediately. Abel could have given the baby back to Bianca if he did not want to take care of her, but he did not do so, as though he was deliberately tormenting her.
"Teh. I didn't expect you to refuse so quickly." Abel was quite disappointed.
"What's wrong with her?" Shanks asked. He knew that Abel was not the kind of person who would carry a baby around just for the fun of it. Abel must have a reason for bringing the baby to look for him.
"She threw up after she drank milk. The kitchen lady said that she's been having the runs too. Can you check on her?" Usually, Abel could not be bothered dealing with such petty matters, but the baby was frail and dependent on him. If he neglected her, she might die at any time.
When Shanks heard that, he stuffed the baby back into Abel's arms.
"You..." Before Abel could let his dissatisfaction known, Shanks began running his tests.
Soon, he announced his conclusion. "She has the stomach flu." "What should we do?" Abel asked. He had no experience in childcare, and he was not interested in taking care of children.
"Reduce her food and liquids. If she doesn't recover, I'll have to hook her to a drip," Shanks said.
"That's so troublesome," Abel said in frustration when he heard that. He stuffed the baby into Shanks's arms. "You'll take care of her while she's sick. Don't worry, I'll get the kitchen lady to help you too."
Before Shanks could protest, Abel had already turned around. Suddenly, Abel seemed to have remembered something and turned around again." Right, where are the things I want?"
Shanks looked at several objects on the table.
When Abel saw where Shanks was looking, he went over and picked up all the items from the table. Then, he patted Shanks's shoulder and said," Thanks."
After that, he left the laboratory.
Shanks lowered his head and looked at the baby. The baby had already woken up after being shoved around. She was looking at him.
The baby was too young to recognize faces, so she was not afraid of strangers. Shanks's gaze turned gentle when the baby smiled sweetly at him. He could feel a corner of his heart melt.
Shanks sighed. He would have to deal with the little menace for now.
Abel got his minions to send over the baby cot and all sorts of supplies to Shanks's laboratory.
Shanks was not used to so much clutter in his laboratory. The baby had already fallen asleep again, so he gently put her in the cot.
The kitchen lady came in. She was behaving courteously toward Shanks." Mr. Shanks, Boss asked me to come here to take care of the baby."
Shanks was the only doctor on the island, and he was irreplaceable. Everyone on the island had to respect him.
Abel glanced coldly at the person who had just come through the door and said, "I don't like being interrupted when I'm conducting experiments. If I don't need you, you can wait outside." 2 "Yes." The kitchen lady dared not retort because she knew that Shanks had an eccentric personality.
Shanks glanced at the sleeping baby and said, "I don't need you now. Go outside and wait. I'll call you if I need you." "Yes." The kitchen lady glanced at the sleeping baby and could not help but wonder how Shanks managed to calm her down.
When the baby was under Abel's care, she did not stop crying and wailing. The kitchen lady would have to carry her to sleep. After the baby was placed in the cot, she would usually start crying again.
"Why are you still standing there?" Shanks asked.
The kitchen lady rubbed her nose and answered, "I'm afraid that the baby might wake up and disturb your experiments." "She's sleeping soundly now," Shanks said.
The kitchen lady nodded and left the laboratory.
At night, Eler brought the flask of breast milk to Abel but was told that the baby was with Shanks.
Feeling quite frustrated, Eler brought the flask to Shanks's laboratory. She saw the kitchen lady standing in front of the door and asked her, "You're here, Madam. This is from Miss."
The kitchen lady took the flask, nodded, and continued to stand there.
Seeing that the kitchen lady had no intention of going inside, Eler was confused. "Aren't you going inside, Madam?" "Mr. Shanks told me to wait here. He'll call me if he needs me," the kitchen lady said brusquely. She had been standing there for an entire afternoon. Though she was glad that she could shirk around, she was already feeling quite bored.
"Why is the baby with Mr. Shanks?" Seeing that the kitchen lady was willing to speak, Eler tried to find more information from her.
"He said that she got the stomach flu. She'll have to eat less." The kitchen lady glanced at the flask. Half of it would be wasted.
"What? Is it serious?" Eler was worried about the baby.
