Chapter 785 An Exceptionally Long Night
Susan turned her head and saw the glaring scratches on her son’s handsome cheek.
A cloud of haze flashed through her eyes!
Susan positioned Louis behind her and looked at Allison condescendingly. Her gaze was like a sharp arrow drenched with venom as she said, "Allison, I heard that your son was injured and as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Crawford family, I brought Louis here to visit Luke. I didn't expect that you'd scratch my son! I'll forgive you this time considering what you're going through, but let me warn you, keep to your lane. Otherwise, I’ll make sure that you’ll regret it!"
Allison was well aware that Susan was a tough woman and she had a strong family background, so now that she was angry, Allison knew to back off.
Allison glanced at the scratches on Louis’ face and then at her sharp nails. She stepped aside knowing that she had lost.
Old Master Crawford was so angry that he could not speak.
His grandson was in the operating room. It was still uncertain whether he would live or die. Now, his other grandson had been scratched by Allison.
The cane in his hand trembled with anger.
However, in the end, Old Master Crawford sighed and weakly said to Susan, "Susan, you should take Louis to see the doctor. It won’t be good if the injury gets inflamed and leaves a scar."
Susan nodded slightly and said softly to Old Master Crawford, "Okay, I’ll take Louis to the doctor. If there's anything, call me."
After Susan said that, she grabbed Louis by the arm and was about to leave.
However, Louis did not want to leave. "Mom, I'm a man. The wound on my face is nothing. It won’t kill me, don’t worry about it. I want to wait until Luke wakes up..."
Susan glared at him fiercely and said, "There are so many people here, it doesn't matter if you're here or not. Besides, you kind-heartedly came to visit him but his mother so viciously hurt you and blames her son’s injury on you. There's no point for us to stay here. Follow me immediately.
Otherwise, I don’t mind using coercive means!"
Louis saw that his mother was burning with rage and knew that she was in a bad mood now, so he could only do as she said.
When he passed by Bianca, Louis noticed that she was squatting at the entrance of the operating room, looking like a lonely and sad little thing.
He could not help but feel a pain in his heart as he thought of the situation that Luke was in.
Louis broke free from Susan's restraint and walked to Bianca. He whispered, "Sister-in-law, now that Luke is in surgery and it's uncertain when he’ll recover, you must take care of yourself and don’t let yourself fall ill too. You also know that I'm nothing but an average Joe. Since Luke won't be around, the burden of T Corporation has fallen on you. Take it easy
Bianca kept silent the entire time, her delicate and pale face was expressionless.
However, the woman's straight shoulders suddenly collapsed as though she was touched by his words.
Louis wanted to comfort her more, but he did not know what else to say.
For him, Luke was the closest person to him in his life and his beloved elder brother. Although the two of them had different mothers who were always at each other’s throats, their relationship was as thick as blood. It was not affected by their mothers at all.
He also hoped that Luke could recover as soon as possible.
Soon, it was late at night, but the lights in the operating room were still on.
Old Master Crawford was in poor health and staying up until midnight was his limit. Bianca asked the bodyguard and the driver to forcibly send Old
Master Crawford home.
Susan forcibly took Louis back.
Allison, who had shed a few tears when she first came, remained seated on the chair in the corridor and used her phone to browse through shopping sites. When it got late, she could not hold on anymore. She asked the nurse to find her a VIP resting room and went straight to sleep.
In the end, Bianca was the only one still waiting at the entrance of the operating room.
Jason went outside and bought two takeaways, one for himself and the other for Bianca.
However, Bianca did not have any appetite to eat, so she shook her head and turned Jason down.
Mr. Doyle felt helpless. He placed the takeaway in front of Bianca and said, "Madam, you're human too. You can't keep going on like this. You should eat some food so that you'll have the stamina to go on. Otherwise, the boss will feel distressed when he wakes up and sees you like this. Didn’t Second Young Master say that the burden of T Corporation has fallen on you? If you go down too, no one in the company will be able to stand up to the task..."
Bianca's stiff face looked up at Jason, her lips trembling as she said, "Okay, I’ll eat."
She took the box of takeaway from Jason and sat down on a chair beside her. She gobbled it down without even looking at the food in front of her. She barely chewed; she was just eating mechanically, swallowing even the tears from her eyes.
Luke had always been her support, but now that he was gone, she seemed to have lost her backbone. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
She could not go on like this. She had promised him to fight by his side, instead of being someone who relied on him.
Now that he was down, she had to be strong.
At midnight, Johann, who was in a white coat, hurriedly rushed over.
Bianca felt relieved the moment she saw him.
Johann did not have the time to talk to her and only gave her a 'rest assured' gesture before he hurriedly entered the operating room.
After more than three hours, Luke was brought to a spacious intensive care unit after the operation.
The ward had a floor-to-ceiling window, and the white curtains were closed. The dizzying yellow light was a little dazzling.
Bianca wore a sterile suit and was holding Luke's hand. Her eyes were locked on his handsome sleeping face.
She kept rubbing his cold hands to warm them up.
Luke, who had undergone a serious operation, looked weak and had his eyes tightly shut. Even though he was unconscious, he was just as charming. However, he seemed to be frowning, as if he was worried about an unsolved problem.
His beard shadow gradually emerged, and when she stroked it, it felt a little prickly.
Bianca looked at him, feeling like she was suffocating.
A thin quilt was over his body, which covered the bandage that was wrapped around his chest and the wound on his body. His forehead was also wrapped with bandages that had bloodstains.
Luke had unexpectedly entered her life and changed it, but now, he was lying here, dying. This burden was one that she could not bear.
Johann had said that Luke would likely wake up at dawn. Bianca felt that it was an exceptionally long night...
