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
Tommy ran into the scene and wanted to snatch the phone away. He was standing on the sofa and crying his lungs out while staggering.The butler was afraid he might trip over and quickly carried him up, placing him on the floor. He had no choice but to hand him the phone.Tommy asked while sobbing, "Where are Mommy and Daddy? Tommy wants Mommy, I want Mommy!""Stop crying. I'll be on my way back now," said Luke with a deep voice. He had to take good care of the child as Bianca would surely be upset if she were to know that Tommy was crying so terribly.Tommy continued to cry hard. "Daddy, you must bring Mommy back.""I'll definitely bring your mommy back. Be a good kid and hand the phone over to the butler." Luke coaxed him.Tommy rubbed his eyes and handed the phone over to the butler. His big eyes were red after crying so hard, the sight of it making others pity him.The butler took the phone. "Young Master.""How did the kid know about it?" Luke's voice carried an angry tone.
Bianca widened her eyes. The Island of Despair! She had heard the name from Luke before and knew how terrifying it was. However, when Luke escaped from there, Percy and the Russian government had destroyed the place. How could someone survive? "Who is your godfather?" Bianca asked with all her might. "He's the same person as Luke's godfather. The difference is that Luke wants to kill him, and I want to avenge him." Abel chuckled coldly and left through the door. He said to the mercenaries standing guard outside. "Watch over her in shifts. Don't let her die." "Yes, Boss," the mercenaries replied. They thought for a while and added, "Boss, can we…" "No!" Abel's gaze turned cold. He warned them, "You cannot lay a finger on that woman. If I find out that you did anything to her, I'll chop your d*ck off." The mercenary shuddered. They were at sea, and they could not run away if Abel wanted to do anything to them. They kept those thoughts and said, "We'll look after her." "Go
"Daddy…" Rainie's eyes were bloodshot. "I trust you, Daddy." Lanie held his sister's hand. "We can take care of ourselves. You must bring Mommy back." Luke crouched down and stretched out the pinky finger of his right hand. That was what Bianca did when she made a promise to the children. "I promise." Rainie made a pinky promise with her father. "Mommy will come back," she mumbled. "Mommy will come back." Lanie also made a pinky promise with Luke. Luke patted their heads and said, "I'll be busy in the next few days. Let Mr. Griffin take care of you, and don't give him any trouble, alright?" "Alright, Daddy. I'll take care of Rainie and Tommy." Lanie took up the responsibility so that Luke would not have to worry about them. Luke saw the determination in his son's eyes. "Brush your teeth and go to bed." "Yes, Daddy." Rainie wiped her tears and went to the bathroom. Lanie also returned to his bedroom. Luke was at ease that his children were so mature. After Lanie and
Hera sat up and chuckled. "That defective baby in your stomach? Heheh, you should thank me instead. If you delivered that baby, I'm sure that the Hiltons will disown you, even if you're already married. Consider this as a blessing in disguise. It's better that you lose the baby before you're married instead of being driven out of the household." Leia clenched the hem of her gown tightly. Her stomach was aching, and she had to sit on the toilet. "You know that I only get to marry Brody because of the baby, Hera. I wouldn't have agreed to help you if I knew that I'd become like this." Listening to Leia's accusatory words, Hera could tell that she would not tell Luke. If Luke wanted to take revenge, Leia would be the first victim. After arriving at that conclusion, Hera said impatiently, "Understand this, Leia, you volunteered to do this. No one forced you." Leia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She felt as though she was adrift at sea. She had lost the support of the Hil
