Chapter 1112 Not the Bianca He Knew
When Tia was mentioned, a trace of gloom and dissatisfaction flashed through Bianca's gaze. She did not want to see Tia.
Seeing that Luke did not get her subtle hint, she slightly pulled her nightgown down to reveal the lace lingerie inside. Bianca deliberately leaned forward and said in an aggrieved tone, "I'm fine, she doesn’t need to come over. Luke, how long until you're done with work?"
Luke felt nothing despite her actions and answered, "I'm going to be working late tonight, you should head to bed first."
Seeing that he was not reacting, Bianca adjusted her nightgown angrily and said, "You’ve been busy for several nights and barely spent any time with me.
"Bea, you need to focus on your health. Go get some rest." Luke pretended not to hear her dissatisfaction and continued to coax her patiently.
Bianca felt thwarted at his reaction. "I'm doing much better. Luke, the doctor said so the last time I went for a physical examination. In the past few months, you..." "Bea, I've been occupied because T Corporation is preparing to enter the military-grade pharmaceutical industry. Don't think too much about it." Luke comforted her.
Seeing that he had no intentions of accompanying her to bed, Bianca deliberately put on a reluctant smile and said, "Okay, I'll let you get back to work. I'll go to bed first." "Okay." Luke nodded. After Bianca left, he picked up a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.
Johann had told him that patients with amnesia may have drastic changes in their personalities. Bianca's character had indeed undergone drastic changes.
The changes made her feel like a stranger to him.
He had been by her side for two years but Bianca had not recovered any of her past memories. Compared to the past, her personality had greatly deviated and even her dressing was very different from before.
Luke found it weird, but he could not point a finger at it. He could only say that these changes in her made him feel strange.
He felt that the person in front of him was Bianca, but not the Bianca he knew. That was why in the past two years, he had not been able to break through his psychological barriers. Although they were still husband and wife, he kept a certain distance from her.
After Bianca knew that she had lost her memory, she accepted the fact and stayed by his side.
As the two became more familiar with each other, Bianca's temperament became even stranger. He was not the only one who could not accept it, even their kids rejected her.
When he first brought Bianca home, Tommy did not pounce on her as intimately as he used to. Instead, he sat on the floor crying and screaming that this was not his mother.
No matter how much Luke tried to explain it to him, Tommy just would not accept it.
Aside from Tommy, Blanche and Rainie were also alienated from Bianca. Bianca did not seem to care about how their kids reacted, though. Even when she knew that they were her flesh and blood, she did not put in the effort to rebuild their relationship. All she cared about was him.
She had hinted at him countless times.
Luke refused her every time because he could not get over the odd feeling he had in his heart. In the past two years, they had not been intimate.
The more he refused her, the more dissatisfied Bianca was. However, she knew she could not do anything about it.
Luke felt guilty, but he could not bring himself to fulfill her needs.
He thought that he might be sick.
Luke put out the cigarette in his hand, thought about it for a while, and dialed Johann's number.
"It's so late, what's the matter?" Johann asked after he picked up the call.
"I want to have a consultation with a psychiatrist. Please set up an appointment for me," Luke said.
"You want a consultation? Why don't you go to Tia?" Johann wondered. In the past two years whenever Bianca's situation was not stable, Tia would step forward to solve the problem.
She used Bianca as an excuse and moved her clinic to A City. On the surface, she acted as though the decision was made because she wanted to focus on Luke and Bianca when in fact, she just wanted to use Bianca's treatment as an excuse to get closer to Luke.
Johann had seen through all of it.
However, even after two years, Tia had not succeeded yet. Hence, he did not say anything.
"I need a male psychologist," Luke said.
"Okay, I'll help you set up an appointment. I'm curious, what’s wrong with you?" Johann teased him.
"There’s something wrong with you. Make an appointment for ten o'clock tomorrow morning." After Luke finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone, unwilling to give Johann a chance to speak.
Everytime he rejected Bianca, the guilt in his heart increased.
However, no matter how guilty he felt, he could not bring himself to do it. It was not that Bianca had not taken the initiative. It was just that he felt nauseous the moment she touched him.
It was just like when other women deliberately touched him. He would only feel nauseous, dirty, and not at all seduced. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
That was why Luke felt that something must be wrong with him.
After he was done with work, Luke stretched his body. He did not intend to go back to the bedroom to rest. Instead, he slept on the sofa bed in the study.
The next day, Luke got up and had breakfast with the kids.
Old Master Crawford sat at the dining table. When he did not see Bianca, he frowned and asked, "Where's Bianca?"
Luke realized that Bianca had not come down yet, so he explained," Perhaps she's still sleeping." "She’s still asleep at this time? How outrageous!" Old Master Crawford was dissatisfied. When Bianca first came back, he had kept his mouth shut. After all, the Crawford family owed it to her.
Even though the things she went through brought shame to the Crawford family, he did not say anything for the sake of the three children.
However, he was more and more dissatisfied with Bianca. 'She only lost her memory, so why did her temperament change too?*
The Bianca he knew was hardworking and gentle. She took good care of her family and children. She even ran her own business.
Now, Bianca had a bad temper and was lazy, just like a countrywoman. She never paid attention to the family, and if things did not go her way, she would lose her temper. The servants of the Crawford family were also afraid of her.
Old Master Crawford was beyond unhappy.
Luke said, "Grandpa, don't worry about Bea. She probably didn't rest well last night, that’s why she’s sleeping in."
Old Master Crawford snorted and said nothing more.
After breakfast, Luke sent the three kids to school.
Tommy sat in the back seat, glanced at his brother and sister, and made a gesture with his eyes.
Lanie and Rainie received his signal, shook their heads, and kept quiet.
Seeing that they refused to speak, Tommy asked, "Dad, where did you sleep last night?" "In the study. What's the matter?" Luke asked deliberately.
"It’s nothing. Dad, can you sleep with me tonight?" Tommy said. He wanted to occupy Luke's time so that Bianca could not play any tricks.
"Why do you want me to sleep with you?" Luke did not need to look at Tommy to know what he was thinking.
