Chapter 1249 Choosing to Trust Her

Bianca glared at the nurse. When she was about to speak, Luke spoke first. "Give her some water."

"Yes." The caretaker deftly poured a glass of water, put a straw in the cup, and brought it next to Bianca's mouth." Please drink some water, Madam."

Bianca glared at the nurse, though she had no choice but to drink from the straw because Luke had given her the order.

Two hours later, Queenie returned to the hospital with the concoction.

Bianca did not want to drink it. After all, it was Luca's prescription.

However, she remembered what Luca had told her. Fearing that her brain might melt if the fever persisted, she hesitated for a while when the caretaker brought the straw close to her mouth, but eventually, she took the flask and finished it all.

Half an hour later, Bianca's body temperature began to drop.

The nurse read the thermometer. "Your temperature now is 99.5 degrees."

Queenie was overjoyed. "I knew that Luca was capable. The concoction worked in half an hour."

Bianca could not bear Queenie referring to Luca by her first name. "It might be the hospital medication taking effect too."

Queenie did not really care about Bianca's jealous words. She sat down on the bed and patted Bianca's hand. "In any case, I'm glad that your temperature is down." i

Bianca felt a lot better after her fever subsided. She glanced at Luke, who was sitting on the couch, and said, "I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore, Luke. Can you get me discharged?"

Luke frowned when he heard that. "The doctor said that he needs to observe your condition."

"I'm already feeling much better," Bianca said after touching her forehead. "See, it's not hot anymore."

She was worried that her fever might return, and the doctor would have to take another blood sample. Even if Luke did not discover anything, she could not guarantee that he would not discover anything in the future.

She could not afford to take that risk.

"Stay here for two more days," Luke said insistently.

"But..." Bianca was prepared to put on her puppy eyes when Jack said sternly, "Bea, listen to Luke and the doctor. You also heard what the doctor said earlier, didn't you? Just stay here for two more days."

Queenie also tried to convince her. "Yes, Bea. The doctor wants to stay here because it'll be good for you. If you feel bored, I'll come and accompany you every day."

Bianca realized that she could not convince three people at the same time. She could only nod and agree to stay in the

hospital for further observation.

Luke’s phone began to ring, and he went to the corridor to answer it. Half a minute later, he returned to the room and said, "Dad, Mom, I need to return to the company to resolve an emergency. I'll get Sean to send you two home."

"Go then. You don't have to worry about us." Queenie shook her head. She planned to stay in the hospital to accompany Bianca.

"You haven't slept since last night, Mom," Luke reminded Queenie. His in-laws were no longer young, and staying up would definitely take a toll on them.

"I'll go home at night. Don't worry about me, Luke. I still feel fine." Queenie smiled knowing that Luke was concerned about her. Ever since Leia was sent overseas and Bianca had lost her memories, Luke had been taking care of the old couple.

"I'll go then. Tommy, do you want to stay here with Mommy or go to the company with me?" Luke asked Tommy.

"I'll go with you, Daddy." Tommy did not want to stay in the hospital at all.

Bianca felt dejected when she saw how Tommy had chosen to follow Luke without any hesitation. The little boy was closer to a woman who had appeared out of nowhere than her. No one would believe her if she said that Tommy was her son. Belongs to - All rights reserved.

She could not help but feel pressured. Luca was taking everything away from her.

No, she could not let Luca succeed!

"What are you thinking, Bea?" Queenie asked out of concern when she saw that Bianca was deep in thought.

"Nothing, Mom." Bianca came to her senses and looked at her. "Why was that Luca woman in the hospital?"

"I asked her to come," Queenie said with a smile and poured a glass of hot water.

Jack suddenly stood up and said, "An old colleague of mine is in the hospital. I'd like to pay him a visit."

"Go then," Queenie nodded and said. She placed the glass on the bedside cabinet and waited for the water to cool down before feeding it to Bianca. The doctor had reminded her that Bianca should drink more water.

When Bianca heard that, she said, "You shouldn't visit your friend empty-handed, Dad. You can bring one of the fruit baskets on the table with you. It's not like I can finish all those fruits anyway."

Queenie nodded. "You're so considerate, Bea. Listen to your daughter, Jack. It's not polite to visit someone in the hospital empty-handed."

"Alright then." Jack agreed with what Bianca said. He picked up a random fruit basket from the table and left the room.

Bianca turned to look at Queenie and continued the conversation. "Mom, are you close to Luca Craw?"

"I guess you can say so. Luke didn't want to bother her, but

I'm so worried when I see that you're not getting any better. That's why I asked Luke to look for her. You haven't eaten anything in almost a day. Should I get you some oatmeal?" Queenie asked.

Bianca shook her head. The bitter aftertaste of the herbal concoction was still in her mouth, and that made her lose her appetite.

"You mean that Luke didn't want her to come in the first place?" She asked. That question was very important to her.

If Luke had thought of inviting Luca over, it meant that Luca was important to him.

It was troublesome enough that Tia was vying for Luke's affection. She would not be able to tolerate another rival.

She would have used her connections to the Island of Despair to off Tia, if not that Tia posed her no threat.

However, Luca proved time and time again that she was a real threat to Bianca's position. What could she do?

Luca was also from the Island of Despair, and Bianca could not use her connections to get rid of her.

"Yes," Queenie replied. "When I came over to the hospital last night, I was already thinking of getting Luca to come, but Luke said not to bother her."

Bianca felt slightly relieved. At least Luke was not too eager to meet Luca too often.

It probably meant that Luke was trying to keep a distance from Luca.

"Mom, I also don't think we should trouble Luca," Bianca said.

"Why?" Queenie was quite surprised.

Bianca bit her lower lip and found a plausible excuse. "I think that she's getting dangerously close to Luke. It's not that I don't trust Luke, Mom, but there are so many women out there who are like that, and I don't feel too confident of myself."

Queenie sighed when she saw how aggrieved Bianca looked. In her past few interactions with Bianca, she thought that Bianca always had a different opinion.

However, Bianca was her daughter, and Queenie chose to trust in her.
