Bianca heard the moan and turned her head to look at Leia. Leia was fine earlier, but she seemed to be in a daze now. She was holding her head as though she was uncomfortable. Bianca placed her hand on Leia's shoulder. "Leia?" "Get lost!" Leia was suddenly hostile. She wanted to push Bianca's hand away, but she did not have the strength to do so. "Ugh… Bianca… you… drugged me!" "I didn't…" Bianca stood up and frowned. "That cup of water." Sean was thinking of the same thing. He took the cup that Leia had drunk from, carefully brought it to his nose, and smelled something sweet. "It's a sedative drug, Madam," he said. He had learned to discern different types of drugs in his bodyguard training, and he was very sure what drug that was. Leia slumped on the couch right after Sean finished speaking. Jamie stood there, flustered. "What's going on?" The three bodyguards surrounded Bianca while Sean deftly went behind Jamie, restrained his arms, and pinned him down on the coffe
Bianca was carried onto the bridal boutique van. She was already fully unconscious. Abel sat next to her. He thought for a while and removed the silver needle from her neck. He had learned his needle skills from Robert, his godfather. Robert had offered to teach those skills to Luke, but he was not interested in learning them. Abel pinched Bianca's petite face and said, "Your man doesn't know what's good for him. He didn't want to learn how to fire a needle, but his wife ended up being a victim of the needle. Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic." His subordinate, who was driving the van, said, "Boss, are we going back to the mansion?" He was referring to the mansion that Maxine had prepared for them. "Go to the seaside," Abel said. He originally planned to stay there for longer, but he had a better plan. "Yes." The subordinate made a U-turn at the traffic light ahead and went straight to the seaside. When they reached the seaside, Abel got out of the car. He had already called
Queenie's face turned pale instantly. When she received the call, she only got to know that something happened to Leia. The phone call did not mention anything about Bianca at all. She grabbed Luke's sleeves and asked him, "What are you talking about, Luke?" Jack was also anxious when he heard that something happened to Bianca. "What happened to Bianca?" He asked anxiously. Luke's eyes were bloodshot. "Bianca was abducted at the bridal boutique." When Queenie heard that, her eyes glazed over, and she fainted into Jack's arms. "Queenie? Queenie?" Jack hugged her and shook her, but she gave no response. When the medical staff saw that, they immediately brought a gurney and took Queenie to the emergency ward. Jack had never faced such a situation before, and he hurriedly followed the nurses in. It was only when he turned around to look that he realized Luke did not come along. "Luke… Sigh!" The nurses closed the curtains and blocked Jack's view. Not sure of what else he could
"How long will it take?" Luke's expression was grim. His mind was occupied by thoughts of Bianca. "They just got back. It should take another half an hour," the superintendent said. Looking at Luke's frigid expression, he promised, "Don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this. I've already contacted the people in the traffic department, and they should be able to track down the getaway car in half an hour." Luke understood that the superintendent was telling him to wait. He could have skipped past the superintendent to receive the security footage from the traffic department. What he wanted was the facial composite from Ripley and the bodyguards' descriptions. Knowing that the culprits were Europeans, he had a vague feeling that the culprits were related to his past. Ten minutes later, Luke received a call from Ripley. "Boss, I've already tracked down the car that took Madam away. They drove straight to the port area in the west, and they did not swap cars." Luke frowned. "
Jack could not bear to see Queenie cry. He took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Alright, don't cry. You shouldn't be emotionally agitated." Queenie had passed out for the past few hours. If she became agitated, she might pass out again, Queenie took his handkerchief and looked at Leia on the bed. She was still under the influence of the anesthesia. Her eyes were bloodshot. She remembered that before she passed out, Luke had said that Bianca was abducted at the bridal boutique. She turned around and asked Jack, "Is there any news about Bianca yet?" "I asked Luke earlier. Not yet." Jack looked at his daughter on the bed and wondered if she had anything to do with the incident. If she was proven to be involved, he would disown her! Queenie was overcome by sorrow and nearly passed out again. Jack steadied her by the shoulders. "Luke will find her, and she will return safely to us." "Mm…" Queenie tried hard not to cry out loud. She could only silently wipe her tears
Jack did not agree to it. Leia was already an adult, and she should have the mental capacity for it. "You can't hide it for too long. If Brody doesn't come, she'll eventually realize what happened." Queenie was silent. "Leia isn't a child anymore. If she had been lucky, she would have been a mother in two months. We shouldn't shelter her anymore. She was the one who decided to keep the baby and marry Brody, and she'll have to bear with the consequences herself," Jack said. Usually, fathers educated their children differently from mothers. Queenie began to reflect if her educational methods had been correct. "Alright." She eventually agreed after pondering over it. Leia woke up two hours later. Before she could feel sad about the fact that the doctors failed to save her baby, Jack told her that the Hiltons had called off the wedding after they knew that the baby had congenital birth defects. "That's impossible!" Leia leaned on the headboard. She shook her head in disbelief w
The doctor did not know how to react when he heard that. Now that she thought about it, Leia's reason for her emotional distress was indeed different from other women. She guessed that she needed the baby to retain her fiance. "Do you know who that woman is?" The head nurse suddenly came over. As the leader of the nurses, she should not have been nosy, but she could not help but gossip when she overheard the conversation between the doctor and the nurse. "I don't know, but she seems familiar," the doctor said. "I don't think you'd know her since you just got back from abroad. She used to be an actress that has acted in many movies. However, that did nothing to boost her popularity. She retired from public view following an incident, but after that, there was the news that she would be married to Brody Hilton. You should know about the Hiltons, right? They're involved in international trade, and they're extremely wealthy. The baby should be her bargaining chip to enter the Hilton
The nurse deftly administered the shot and comforted Leia. "It'll hurt a little later on. You should close your eyes and rest for five minutes." Leia slowly closed her eyes. The nurse turned around and spoke to Jack, "Let me dress your wound, Mr. Norman." "Thank you," Jack said as he lifted his injured arm. Five minutes later, the tranquilizer took effect, and Leia fell silent. Queenie covered her with the blanket, went to Jack's side, and gently touched his hand. "Does it hurt?" "It's fine." Jack shook his head. After sterilizing the wound, the nurse carefully wrapped it with gauze. It did not hurt even if he pressed it. Queenie sighed. Her eyes were puffed up. "You've been a stern father since Leia was small, but you've never punished her. Leia respects you a lot, but now, she bit you…" "That's enough." Jack glanced at Leia. The tranquilizer had taken effect, and Leia was incapacitated for now. He told Queenie, "Take care of Leia. I'll go and look for Luke." "Alrigh
