Chapter 786 She Had Another Tough Battle To Be Fought
Outside the window, the moonlight was gently shining in.
The moonlight shone through the white curtains brought a sense of comforting beauty to this dark night.
The intensive care unit was quiet at night, except for the ticking sound of the oxygen generator. Under the soft lights, Bianca affectionately gazed at Luke.
The white wall lamp provided her with an unobstructed view of Luke's face. His handsome face seemed to have aged a little.
His lips were a little dry and there were some visible cracks.
Bianca picked up a clean wet towel, placed it on his lips, and gently wiped them.
Luke had always managed his stress on his own, protecting Bianca and the kids from all of that. However, he did not know that his actions were hurting her.
She was his wife; she was supposed to face his troubles with him and fight by his side.
Bianca thought to herself, 'When he wakes up, I have to bring this up with him.'
The dizzying white light enveloped Bianca's busy figure.
At that moment, she was sad but also firm.
Time was like quicksand, slipping between one's fingers bit by bit. Bianca felt like her heart was torn to pieces when she saw that he was still unconscious.
She took his hand that had never been pierced with a needle before and stroked it gently.
His palms were large, and his fingernails were meticulously manicured.
Luke was obsessed with cleanliness, and even in a harsh environment, he insisted on being tidy.
Bianca was not sure since when this indomitable man became so fragile...
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the ward, Luke was still unconscious.
Allison, who was well-rested, yawned and walked into the intensive care unit.
When she saw that Luke was still unconscious, she frowned and got annoyed at Bianca. "What's the matter? Didn't Johann say that Luke will wake up at dawn? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Allison was used to shouting at people with her rude and loud voice. The silent and peaceful ward became noisy in an instant.
Bianca frowned and said, "Can you please keep your voice down? Luke just went through a long operation and hasn’t had much to eat. He needs rest. Please, can you not disturb him?"
Allison glared at Bianca angrily and then arrogantly wrapped her hands around her chest, saying, "I'm Luke's mother! It’s my right if I want to talk to my son. What's wrong with you? You're the unlucky b*tch who brought my son bad luck. Otherwise, why would Luke be involved in accidents one after another? What else can you do besides shed a few fake tears? I don't expect you to be of help, I'm just hoping that you won't make things worse. Bianca, your dad is the Provincial Committee Secretary. He has powers and contacts to help Luke out of this miserable situation. Why can't you ask him for help?"
Bianca stopped stroking Luke's face.
She stared right into Allison's eyes, making her feel uncomfortable.
Allison refused to give in and continued shouting, "What are you looking at?! I'm telling you, this time, your parents have to come forward for T Corporation. Even if they won't do it for Luke's sake, you're their biological daughter and he's your husband. After such a disaster, are they too embarrassed to stand up for us?"
Bianca's eyes suddenly turned solemn. Her gaze swept through Allison's face and then gently fell on Luke's calm sleeping face.
"You don't need to worry about this, I’ll take care of everything. My parents will help as much as they can. Don't worry about that."
Allison screamed, "What do you mean by as much as they can? Your father will be able to sort out an issue as small as the collapse of a shopping mall. I don't care! No matter what, they must ensure that both Luke and T Corporation will walk away from this unscathed! Otherwise, after Luke wakes up, I'll ask him to divorce you!"
Bianca could not be bothered to argue with her. She rubbed her temples tiredly and said, "I'll do my best! Can you please stop screaming?
Otherwise, when Luke wakes up and sees you like this, do you think he’ll feel better?" "Take good care of him. I'll go outside to get some air." Allison snorted coldly and left in her seven-inch stilettos.
She was sick of the smell of disinfectant in the ward.
She only came to the hospital just to look good in front of Old Master Crawford.
Not long after Allison left, Jason knocked on the door of the intensive care unit.
He brought in a large bag carrying a variety of breakfast options.
However, he was startled when he saw Bianca's haggard face. "Ms. Rayne, did you get any sleep last night?"
Jason could not help but glance at the family rest bed in the ward and saw that the quilt was still neatly folded. Obviously, Bianca had not even laid on the family bed last night. Rather, she stayed right next to Luke.
Bianca's long hair was tied up with a rubber band that loosely formed a bun at the back. It looked a little messy because she had not combed her hair. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
She had not washed her face nor brushed her teeth. There were dark circles under her eyes, and she seemed to have aged.
However, her gaze on Luke remained gentle like the morning sun, calm and patient.
Bianca saw Jason coming in and shook her head slightly as she said, "Luke hasn't woken up yet. I won't feel at ease until I see him waking up. Mr. Doyle, sorry for the trouble."
Jason gently put the takeaway on the table and sighed. "This is what I should do as a subordinate. Luke has always been kind to me. Now that he's going through such a big problem, I should be with you in the hospital the entire time. Madam, you should pay more attention to your health. You have to stand strong at this time. Otherwise, it'll be the end of T Corporation.
"T Corporation will be having a press conference at 10 a.m. You’ll be required to speak. You should have some breakfast to fill your stomach. When the press conference starts, it may take an hour or two to deal with reporters. I'm afraid that your body won’t be able to hold on until then."
Bianca did not have any appetite to eat, but after considering Mr. Doyle's words, she gritted her teeth and quickly ate her breakfast.
She had another tough battle to fight later. She must have enough physical strength!
