Chapter 924 She Felt Safe With Him Around

Luke glanced at her feet with a sinister gaze. "They stepped on your feet."

It was only then that Bianca realized that her feet were hurting. The pain on her forehead overshadowed the pain on her feet. It was unavoidable that she was stepped on in the chaos.

"Luke," Bianca said softly, "I'm not a saint, and I'm not speaking up for them, but I don't want to cause even more trouble at this time."

To the public, she was a cruel and despicable woman. Even though the reporters were at fault, people would think that she deserved it, and the reporters would be treated as the victims.

Bianca did not want Luke's reputation to be implicated as well.

Luke knew that she was worried about him and sighed. "Alright, I won't do anything to them."

Bianca was not worried about herself but worried that she would bring more trouble to him.

"How is Riley?" Bianca asked.

"Johann is looking after her." Luke tapped on the tip of her nose. "Why are you worrying about others when you're not feeling well yourself?"

Bianca smiled faintly. She would not have been hurt if not for Riley.

She reached upward and felt the wound on her forehead.

It was covered by a thick bandage.

"Is the wound stitched?" Bianca asked.

"Yes. Johann said that it'll heal faster that way." Luke knew that Bianca would want to look perfect. "There might be a scar, but there's a procedure to remove that."

Bianca shook her head. "If there's a scar, let it remain there."

It would serve as a reminder not to be so careless in the future.

Luke understood what she meant and tenderly kissed her hands.

The caretaker knocked on the door. "The porridge for Madam is ready, Sir.

Shall I bring it now?"

Luke let go of Bianca's hands and sat up. "Bring it in." "Yes." The caretaker came in with a tray, placed it on the bedside cabinet, and handed a bowl to Luke.

Bianca had to lie down on the bed and could not get up. Luke took the bowl and said, "Let me do it." "Yes, Sir." The caretaker nodded at them and left the bedroom.

"I can eat it myself." Bianca felt a little embarrassed when she saw Luke sitting next to her and preparing to spoon-feed her.

Luke placed his hand on her shoulder to stop her from getting up. "Just lie down. Allow me."

Bianca could only lie on the bed and watch Luke stir the bowl to cool the porridge. Then, he fed her carefully.

It took Bianca half an hour to finish that small bowl of porridge.

"Do you want more?” Luke asked.

Bianca shook her head. "No, thanks."

She did not have the appetite to eat. If Luke had not fed her, she might have only eaten two bites.

Luke put the bowl away, opened a pack of wet towels, and wiped her mouth.

He was very gentle and careful. Bianca could feel that he cared for her a lot.

"Shouldn't you eat a little more?" Luke asked, worried that she would be hungry.

"I don't have the appetite." Bianca blinked.

Luke did not force her.

Tommy opened the bedroom door and ran toward the bed. He placed his hands on the bed, trying to push himself up, but he was not tall enough.

"Does it still hurt, Mommy? Let me blow on your wound." Tommy had just finished his lunch. There was still some potato on his lips.

Bianca's heart softened when she looked at him struggling to get on the bed. "Good boy. It doesn't hurt anymore."

Tommy reached out to his father. "I want to get on the bed, Daddy."

Luke's expression darkened. He picked Tommy up but did not put him on the bed. Instead, he brought him out of the bedroom and placed him on the floor. "Mommy needs to rest. Don't disturb her, Tommy." "Mommy..." Tommy pouted. He wanted to go in, but the adult man in front of him was like a mountain. He was not going to step past him with his short, stumpy legs.

"Daddy, you bully!" Tommy clenched his fists angrily and looked upward at his father.

"Don't disturb her." Luke glared at him.

"I want to see Mommy!" Tommy was rarely so insistent. He had suffered a great shock when Bianca was brought back to the house that morning.

Lanie came over and held his hand. "Let's not disturb Mommy, Tommy. I'll bring you to play some games."

Tommy kept on turning his head as he was led away. However, his father was standing at the door. Even if he managed to free himself from his brother, he could go in anyway.

Luke closed the door again to stop the children from disturbing her.

Bianca sighed helplessly. "I'm feeling a lot better now. I don't mind the children being here." "They'll be noisy, and you won't get to rest." Luke insisted on keeping them out. He placed the bowl on the tray, brought it outside the room, placed it on the floor, and closed the door again.

The caretaker would take care of it later.

He pulled Bianca's blanket higher. "Take a nap for two hours. I'll wake you up for your medicine when it's time." "Okay." Bianca felt nauseous whenever she moved. She could only listen to him.

She felt a lot safer with him around.

Seeing that Bianca was resting, Luke began to process his documents on the chair nearby.

After Johann left the mansion, he instantly went back to the hospital.

He gave some orders to his subordinates before going to the top floor.

He opened the door. Gale stood up and greeted him, "Good evening, Dr. Johann." "Good evening." Johann went over and looked at Riley on the bed. She seemed to be still in a daze, and she was not very responsive.

"Is she waking up?" He asked.

Rain nodded and explained Riley's situation in detail based on her experience. "Her neurological activity has increased in the past half an hour, and her pupils are responding to external stimuli. She should be coming to her senses soon."

Johann looked at her appreciatively. "You've studied medicine?" "People in my line of work know more or less some," Rain replied matter-of- factly.

"Not bad." Johann took out a small flashlight from his pocket and shone it at Riley's eyes.

Her pupils reacted, which meant that she should be fully awake in half an hour.

"Remove the restraints from her body," Johann said.

Rain was worried that Riley might act violently again and ordered Riley to be placed in restraints.

"But..." Rain hesitated. No one could predict how Riley would react once she woke up. It would be hard to restrain her if she went berserk.

"No one will be comfortable in these restraints. How can she calm down if she's not comfortable?" Johann took the initiative to remove the restraints. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Rain quickly went over to help him remove the restraints on Riley's limbs.

"You should be careful later. Earlier, she bit off a piece of flesh from one of the bodyguard's hands. You can't stitch that up," she grumbled softly.

Having a piece of flesh bitten off was more agonizing than being shot. Even though Rain was an experienced assassin, she could not help but shudder when she heard about that.
