Chapter 1018 She Could Not Say No

Author: Heap Heap
Queenie put her hand gently on the back of Leia's hand and said softly, "Leia."

Leia snapped out of it. Dark thoughts filled her head the moment she saw Luke. If Queenie did not call out to her, she might still be staring.

"Mom, what's the matter?" She deliberately acted as though she was aggrieved to gain pity from Queenie.

Queenie asked, "Aren't you supposed to be on your way to look for the wedding planner to go through the itinerary with Brody? Did you get into a fight?"

"It's nothing. We just had a mild disagreement about the wedding." Leia wiped the corner of her eyes and pretended to tear up.

Queenie sighed. Leia was pregnant but Brody left her downtown because of a small fight. It was clear to Queenie that Brody was not a dependable man. "Why didn’t you try to talk things through? It won’t do your marriage any good if you get into a fight every time there’s a disagreement. Look at your sister and brother-in-law! They always talk their way through issues. I don’t remember

    Late at night.After Jack and Queenie went to bed, the Norman Residence was in complete silence.Leia pressed her face on the door of the master bedroom, and after confirming that there was no sound inside, she tiptoed back into her bedroom. After closing the door, she turned on the lights. She was instantly caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a man!"Ah—" As soon as she wanted to say something, her mouth was covered by Wayne. A familiar sense of fear invaded her heart.Wayne pushed her against the door, smiled evilly, and warned her. "Don't yell. If you yell, this knife will slice through your neck in an instant!"Leia's eyes widened and she felt the pain from being slammed onto the wall. She nodded and shook her hands to gesture that she would not scream.Wayne glanced at Leia’s bulging belly. After letting go of her, he grabbed her slightly chubby face and asked, "Is the child mine?""No, it's not yours!" Leia denied as the fear in her heart slowly took over her body

    Leia endured her fear, and with his sharp gaze locked on her, she nodded.When a knock suddenly sounded from her door, Leia was shocked. She looked at the door and was not sure if she had locked it just now. "Yes?"Queenie's voice came from outside. "Leia, why are your lights still on at this hour? Why aren’t you asleep?""Mom, I just took a shower and I’m going to bed soon." Leia turned her head and looked at Wayne warily. He was still holding a knife in his hand.She was afraid that he would lose control and rush out to stab Queenie. She could not afford for that to happen. At least, not yet.Queenie's voice sounded again from outside. "Okay, sleep tight! Remember to blow dry your hair before you go to bed so you won’t catch a cold.""I will, Mom. Good night!" Leia could not relax for fear that Wayne would act irrationally.Queenie headed to the master bedroom after she heard Leia’s reply.Leia's nerves relaxed slightly when she heard the sound of footsteps going farther and

    Crawford Mansion was in chaos.Since the thief had yet to be caught, Susan clamored in front of Old Master Crawford every day to complain about Luke. She said that Luke was not taking it seriously and he only cared about his own happiness, not caring about Thea's injury at all.Old Master Crawford was upset by her never-ending rambling, so he summoned the family and invited them to the mansion for dinner.Luke went back with Bianca and the kids. They walked into the living room and noticed Susan, who was alone in the living room. Bianca sighed and prepared herself for another storm."Lanie, Rainie, go upstairs to do your homework. If there’s something that you don't understand, make a note of it and I’ll come up to help you with it later." Bianca handed the school bags to the twins. There were certain matters that she did not want to involve the kids in. Blanche and Rainie nodded and carried their school bags upstairs.Tommy eagerly called out to Susan, "Grandma Susan!"Susan

    "I’m not struggling!" Rainie made a face at Blanche as she slowly did her homework.Blanche shook his head indifferently and played with the trinkets on the table.Luke watched by the side as his daughter finished the last question. She then handed her workbook to Bianca. "Mom, I'm done."Bianca checked and found that there was no problem with it. She then signed her name at the bottom of the page."Mommy, Daddy, can I go play?" Rainie asked while blinking her big round eyes."Go for it, but don’t go out of control." Bianca agreed and helped them put their workbooks in their school bags.Rainie and Blanche walked out of the study.Bianca put the school bags aside. She only felt comfortable talking about the break-in after the children left."Did Grandpa blame you?" She put her hand on the back of his hand and asked with concern.Luke grabbed her hand and rubbed her fingers lightly as he replied, "No."Bianca knew that Old Master Crawford was a reasonable man. However, this wa

    The next day, which happened to be Saturday, Bianca went to pick up a fancy fruit basket. After returning to the manor, she set off to Allison's residence with Luke.In the car, Tommy muttered, "Daddy, Mommy, you promised to take me to the amusement park. Why are we going to Grandma's house?"The plan to take the kids to the amusement park was put on hold for a while because of Luke and Bianca’s busy schedules.Fortunately, Tommy was an understanding and considerate child. He was just a little emotional because he had been waiting for so long.Bianca and Luke looked at each other and discussed in a low voice, "Are you going to work tomorrow?""No," Luke replied."Should we go to the amusement park tomorrow?" Bianca discussed it with him.“Sounds good." Luke agreed. It was worth taking a day off to spend it with his family.Bianca looked at Tommy, who was puffing out his cheeks. He was grumpy from being woken up earlier and at them for not keeping their promise. She smiled and c

    Bianca touched Rainie's head and did not answer her question. Instead, she asked, "Rainie, do you want to go to class later?"Rainie and Lanie had extracurricular classes planned for the day, but to make Allison happy, Bianca took a leave of absence for them and brought them to Allison’s place instead.However, Allison was pulling a long face and was not welcoming, so she planned to leave after Luke took the box.Rainie did not think too much about it and nodded, saying, "Okay, Mommy.""I'm going too," Blanche said. If it were not for his mother's request, he would already be in his extracurricular class.Elsa brought out a pot of tea and walked to the living room. She saw Bianca still standing there and greeted her, "Madam, take a seat and have a cup of tea."Bianca shook her head and replied, "No, we're leaving soon."When Bianca said that, Elsa glanced at the children with a smile while saying, "Okay, I'll go back to the kitchen first.

    Bianca watched Luke drive away and closed the door of the villa.She had a hunch that the truth behind the break-in of Crawford Manor would soon be revealed."Mommy?" Tommy woke up in her arms.Seeing that Tommy had woken up, Bianca put him on the ground and touched his little head as she said, "You’re up? Do you want to have some fruit?""Yeah!" Tommy looked around and did not see Luke, so he asked, "Where’s Daddy?""He has something to attend to and has to go back to the company." Bianca took his hand and walked into the living room.When he heard that, Tommy became nervous and asked, "Will Daddy be busy tomorrow?"Bianca took out an apple from the refrigerator. She smiled and promised Tommy. "Don't worry, no matter how busy we are tomorrow, we’re taking you to the amusement park."Tommy clapped his hands happily. He stood by the side while waiting for Bianca to peel and cut the apples into slices. He picked up a slice and said as he ate, "Thank you, Mommy."Seeing Tommy's l

    Hearing that, Gordan did not tease him any further. He glanced at the time, stood up, and said, "Send me the address of the workshop, I’ll head there now."Luke sent him a location on Whatsapp and said, "Let me know as soon as you hear anything.""You have my word," Gordan assured.Gordan arrived at the workshop and successfully found Allison’s car. While the staff was not paying attention, he removed the dashcam. In order not to alert Allison, he installed another one in her car.After everything was done, Gordan left without any of the staff noticing.After he returned to the hotel, he ignored Vivian, who was waiting for him on the sofa, and went straight back to the room. He closed the door, connected the dashcam to the computer, and started working on it.After importing all the data, Gordan sent Luke a text: [The dashcam has been obtained and we’ll find out more tomorrow.]When he was done sending the text, there was a knock on the door.Gordan was happy with the progress,

    “You don’t need to remind me. I was going to check anyway.” Abel shot Luca a chilling look.She took a step back and stayed silent.Abel turned to the pale-faced Hera and said, “If you’ve got low blood sugar, get up and eat something.”“I’ll eat now,” Hera replied, sitting up.Luca handed her the takeout.Abel glanced at the food and then frowned at Luca. “Why didn’t you make breakfast this morning?”“I was busy,” Luca explained with a calm indifference, her expression unwavering. She showed no fear, even under Abel’s questioning.Hera suddenly found herself admiring Luca. Everyone feared this man, yet Luca remained composed even when facing potential punishment. Not just anyone could pull that off.At the thought of this, Hera opened the takeout and kept quiet.Abel narrowed his eyes, glancing between Hera and Luca. His gaze was not exactly gentle as he muttered, “Stop eating this junk. It’s bad for you.”“I know, babe. Just this once. After this, I’ll have what Luca cooks f

    Hera panicked the moment she heard that. “I trust her!”Luca and Shanks were both watching her.Hera repeated herself, saying, “I trust her, okay? What kind of treatment does she need? I’ll cooperate with anything. But what about Abel…”“I’ll tell him it’s just to help improve your overall health,” replied Shanks. Then, he turned around, opened the medicine cabinet, and started preparing the prescription.Hera let out a sigh of relief. As long as Abel did not find out about her health condition, that was all that mattered.If he knew she was unwell, he would send her back to A City. Without free medical help and no way to make extra money, she would be in serious trouble.“Thank you,” said Hera.“Wait outside,” instructed Shanks.“Okay.” Hera carefully stepped out.Luca, however, remained where she was, waiting.While preparing the medicine, Shanks asked, “Do you know which acupoints to target for her?”“Yes,” Luca replied confidently. As long as she checked Hera’s pulse, sh

    “There are a lot of issues.” Luca did not hide anything and handed Hera the phone.Hera looked at it and frowned.“I can't understand any of this.” Hera felt dizzy just looking at the text, let alone the long list of medical terms. It was giving her a headache.“Look at these summaries and indicators. Compare the values on top with the normal values at the bottom, and you'll see what I mean,” explained Luca.Hera did not trust her. Therefore, Luca decided to let her see for herself. Seeing it with her own eyes would prevent any doubts later.Luca pointed out how to read the test results, and after a moment, Hera managed to understand the report. Her face turned pale. “How can there be so many problems?”She looked at Luca and questioned, “Did you fake this?”“I don’t have the power to make the medical center fake anything. Besides, the report has the medical center’s official stamp. If you don’t believe me, you can go directly to the medical center and ask for the official cop

    “I heard from the boss that he's coming because of Vivian.” Gale paused for a moment before adding, “But never mind, you don't seem interested in her affairs anyway. I'm just letting you know he's on his way.”Gordan frowned. Ray was coming for Vivian?What could that ugly woman possibly need?“What do you mean by that?” asked Gordan.Gale smirked. “If you and Ray meet, that’s bound to end in a fight. And since you can't win against him, you might want to mentally prepare yourself, or better yet, find somewhere else to stay. It’d be safer that way.”Gordan's expression darkened. “If you have nothing nice to say, just zip it.”Gale grinned, clearly pleased with himself like he had just hit a sore spot.Gordan exhaled sharply. “Of all times, why is he coming to A City now? He’s just making things worse.”“It can't be helped. Vivian's situation is urgent.” Gale covered his mouth mockingly after he said that. “Oh, right. I forgot you don’t like hearing about her.”Ray wanted to br

    Luke sat in the villa, staring at Luca’s message.He was worried.For a moment, he considered calling her, but then he remembered that there were surveillance cameras everywhere on her side. He dismissed the idea immediately.Her safety came first.Luke reminded her: [Take care of yourself. Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything. Just focus on keeping yourself safe.] The worry in his heart refused to subside, but at this moment, there was no better solution.“Boss, you’re worried about your wife, huh? If you really can’t stand it, we can sneak you in again during the next shift change, just like last time,” said Gale.It had been his idea last time.Now, the real Lucius was still locked up in the basement of the villa.It had been nearly a month. Luke had forced him to take the antidote Luca had recreated. The man was still alive, proving the antidote worked perfectly.“That plan is too risky.” Luke put his phone away. His gaze was dark and thoughtful.“Risky, sure. But at lea

    Luca had not expected Abel and Shanks’ relationship to be like this.It seemed Abel still did not trust Shanks.Shanks continued, “Abel isn’t someone who trusts people easily. He doesn’t trust anyone. You think he’s devoted to Kassy now, right? That’s just his obsession. He's allowing Kassy to receive my treatment, but if it were him… No matter if he were blind or crippled, his safety would always come first. If he were seriously injured, maybe he’d accept treatment, but he definitely wouldn’t do it right away.”Luca stayed silent. Shanks really understood Abel well.Abel did not trust anyone—not even Kassy.Calling him paranoid would not be an exaggeration.Luca felt like they were getting off-topic, but she had never seen this side of Shanks before.In her mind, he was always buried in his work at the lab, only leaving for meals and sleep. Other than that, he was practically never outside.The lab was like his home…“Are you troubled by Hera’s situation?” Luca asked directly

    Hera was startled by Luca's words.The refusal that had been on the tip of her tongue suddenly got stuck in her throat.“I…” Hera hesitated, feeling conflicted. Leaving Abel might not be such a bad idea. At least she would not have to live in constant fear.She was finally realizing how unpredictable his moods were. At first, she thought it did not matter as she could still look at other men. She just had to ensure there was no physical contact. In reality, even if she so much as glanced at someone, Abel's expression would darken with anger.It was frustrating. Now, the only person she was allowed to look at was Gerald. Still, what was the point of just looking at Gerald?At that thought, she lifted her gaze to Luca.Luca added, “I’ll give you five minutes. If you refuse treatment after that, I’ll take the medicine back to Mr. Shanks and won’t try to convince you again.”Hera's heart tightened. She did not even need five minutes. She had made her decision within 30 seconds.“I’

    “If Abel finds out that Hera's body isn't suitable for organ donation to Kassy, what do you think he'll do?” asked Shanks.He already knew the answer, but he still wanted to hear Luca’s thoughts.“He has invested a lot of time and money in Hera. If he gets nothing out of it, he won’t let her off easily,” Luca said bluntly.Luca and Shanks were on the same page.They did not have a good relationship with Hera, but they had no intention of ruining her either.Hera’s personality was unpleasant, but that was not enough for them to hate her so much that they wanted to see her suffer.“What methods do you think he’ll use?” Shanks asked again.Luca was silent for a long moment.Shanks already knew the answer, yet he still wanted her to say it out loud.After thinking it over, she finally said, “There are plenty of ways he could go about it, but no matter what he chooses, Hera’s fate is sealed. She’s as good as dead…”She lowered her gaze, her tone firm and certain.Shanks nodded.

    Hera heard that Luca had returned and immediately went to find Shanks. She narrowed her eyes.That woman went to see Shanks. Could she be talking about her?The thought made Hera uneasy. She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong with her medical report.However, when they left the medical center earlier, Abel asked Luca when the report would be ready, and she said it would be available tomorrow.Hera turned to Gerald and said, “Take these back for me first.”“Alright.” Gerald carried the bags as he walked away. He could not help but wonder what exactly Hera bought. These bags were really heavy!Only after Gerald went upstairs did Hera slowly make her way up as well. Her room was on the third floor, but she stopped when she reached the second floor. She glanced around to make sure no one was watching before heading toward the laboratory.The door was closed.Instead of knocking, Hera pressed her ear against it, trying to eavesdrop.However, the laboratory was special
