Chapter 1367 The Impostor’s Plan
Bianca's eyelids fluttered, and she said, "Even if I tell you that I don't know anything, you wouldn't believe me, right?"
Luke was furious when he heard that, and he could feel the fires of anger burning in his chest. The woman had deceived him for three years and made him miss so many opportunities to find the woman he loved.
"You have your plans, Luke, and I do too. I thought I loved you, but I didn't expect that you're so cruel to me!” Bianca complained as she lay helplessly on the bed.
"Give me the whip," Luke said.
Bianca shuddered when she heard that Luke was going to use the whip on her. She could withstand normal whipping, but Rain had treated the whip with a particular drug that would cause her veins to hurt and itch. She wanted to scratch her wounds, but she did not have the strength.
"Here is it, Boss," Rain said as she handed Luke the whip.
Bianca shuddered. She knew that the man in front of her showed no mercy toward her, so she did not try to evoke his pity. Instead, she said, "If this is how you're going to treat me, then you can't blame me for what I've done to you."
Luke narrowed his gaze. Killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Bianca wanted to push herself up, but she was still under the drug's effects, so she had to continue lying on the bed."
Your youngest son must be ill now, isn't he?"
Gale and Rain exchanged glances. They did not know what Bianca was talking about.
"What did you say?" Luke's eyes widened slightly. Did Tommy’s fever really have something to do with Bianca?
"I've been feeding your son a special type of cookie, Luke. I made them myself. Your twins didn't want to touch them, but your greedy little boy ate a lot of them. He should be having a fever by now." After Bianca's initial plan of keeping Rainie away from home failed, she began to carry out her second plan.
If Old Master Crawford did not like her, she would pretend to be a caring mother so that the old man would stop making her life difficult.
It was not easy to be a caring mother because the children did not cooperate with her. That was why she obtained some drugs from her contact. If one ingested the drug over a period of time, they would be down with a high fever, just like what happened to her after she took the pill.
As long as the children were ill, she could take care of them, and Old Master Crawford’s opinion of her would change.
However, Lanie and Rainie did not want to eat the cookies she baked, and Tommy ate them all. She was happy that at least one of the three children was willing to eat her cookies.
It was much easier to take care of one child than three, and Bianca continued to feed those cookies to Tommy.
Things were going according to plan until Luke brought her to the mansion. In any case, she was glad that she had carried out the plan because that gave her a bargaining chip.
"What do you want?" Luke said.
"Let me go, and your son will be okay. Otherwise, his fever won't subside until his brain turns into goo! Heh heh..." Bianca said hatefully. A lump of clotted blood choked Bianca, and she coughed violently a few times.
"You depraved woman!" Rain pointed at her and cursed.
Bianca laughed coldly. "Aren't we all? We're all from the Island of Despair, right? You're just as depraved as I am. Whatever you're doing to me now, I'll make sure that I'll return the favor someday!"
Rain was livid when she heard what Bianca said. She wanted to snatch the whip from Luke's hand and use it on Bianca.
She had watched Tommy grow up, and she adored the little boy. She felt sorry for Tommy for being exploited by the impostor Bianca's nefarious plans.
Gale knew what Rain was thinking. He grabbed her arm and shook his head.
Luke threw the whip on the floor and said, "Take good care of her. Make sure that she suffers."
As Bianca watched him leave, she said, "No one outside of the Island of Despair can save your son, Luke. No one knows the components of the drug! Heh heh heh, if you
don’t let me go, your son will eventually turn into a vegetable! n
Luke hastened his footsteps. He got into the car and drove toward the hospital.
His car had only left the mansion when he received a call from the caretaker, saying that Tommy's temperature had risen again, and the doctor asked him to go over as soon as possible.
Upon hearing that, Luke floored the gas pedal.
Amur was hiding in the bushes. He watched Luke's car leave and wondered if Luke was plotting something with Gale and Rain. Otherwise, Luke would not have appeared at the mansion.
He considered sneaking into the mansion to investigate, but he knew that Gale and Rain were formidable opponents. It was not a wise choice to alert them of his presence. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
When Luke arrived at the hospital, Tommy was already hooked up to an IV drip. He was not asleep, and his eyes were bloodshot as though he had just finished crying.
"I feel horrible, Daddy," Tommy said as he curled up on the bed. He felt that his body was on fire, and he did not know how to describe how he was feeling except for "horrible."
"Good boy. You'll be okay soon." Luke's heart wrenched when he saw his son's condition.
When he first returned from the Island of Despair, Louis had told him what Bianca endured to give birth to the boy. She had to deliver the baby while single-handedly keeping T Corporation running.
Bianca had suffered a lot, but she believed that Luke would return, and she had brought the child safely to the world.
Luke felt helpless as he watched his youngest son suffer, and he did not know where Bianca was. He stroked
Tommy's head and said, "Til go and look for Uncle Johann. Be a good boy and stay here. I'll be back soon."
"Mm." Tommy nodded, and a tear appeared in the corner of his eye.
Luke went to Johann's office. Johann was reading Tommy's test report.
When Johann saw Luke come in, he said, "I don't know what's going on. I've already ordered a new round of tests."
"I know what's going on," Luke said.
Johann looked at him suspiciously.
"When I went to meet the impostor Bianca, she confessed that it was her plan. She gave Tommy some cookies baked with a special drug from the Island of Despair which will induce high fever. Tommy is suffering from the effects of the drug now," Luke said. His hands were already clenched into fists.
Tommy would not have to suffer if only Luke had acted sooner and taken the impostor out of the house!
Johann seemed to have thought of something, so he said," Do you think that her fever earlier was also caused by the drug?"
Luke nodded. "That's possible."
"It probably means that Dr. Craw has a solution. In any case, our priority is to lower the kid's temperature," Johann suggested.
