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
"You'd better leave, Wayne. The caretaker might wake up any time…" Leia begged. Her eyes were transfixed on the caretaker on the couch, wondering why she did not notice despite them talking at a normal volume. "I knocked her out." Wayne turned on the bedside light, which dazzled Leia's eyes. He sat down on the bed and looked at her pale face without any sign of care. Leia grabbed the bed sheets tightly. Wayne's gaze slowly shifted down from her face to her stomach. Leia noticed that. She wanted to cover her stomach with the blanket. Wayne's gaze turned vicious suddenly. "How dare you harm my child, Leia!" Leia shuddered when facing his gaze. "It was an accident, Wayne. It's all Bianca's fault. Bianca made me lose the child." Wayne reached out and touched her stomach. Through the hospital gown, Leia could feel the icy coldness of Wayne's touch. She shuddered again and explained, "It's really not my fault, Wayne. Bianca planned all this." Wayne gripped her lower ja
In the western Pacific Ocean, a ship bobbed up and down the waves as it sailed northward through a thunderstorm. Bianca laid on the bed. She had been force-fed multiple times. The area surrounding the bed was indescribably messy, and it was starting to stink. She did not know how many days it had been since she boarded the ship. There was only one door, and there were no windows. Her hands were tied, and her mouth was gagged, though her legs were free. However, she was limited to the cabin, so she did not know if it was day or night. Her stomach churned as the boat swayed. She had the urge to vomit, but the cloth in her mouth made her unable to do so. She turned her head away and took deep breaths to calm her stomach down. She had only met three other people aboard the ship -- Abel and the two mercenaries. They did not care that the conditions of the cabin were deteriorating. The bed was beginning to get moldy, but they had no intention of changing it. That was w
Seeing that he had not rested for days, Old Master Crawford was worried for his grandson. He put a sleeper sofa in Luke's bedroom. Luke turned on the light, sat up, kept the bed, and walked out of the study. He opened Tommy's bedroom door. There was a small orange night light next to the bed. Ever since Bianca was abducted, the usually cheerful and playful boy had fallen silent and easily cried. He used to love to watch cartoons and eat snacks, but those could no longer pique his interest. He would even wake up from his nightmares and look for Bianca. Johann suggested that he put a nightlight next to Tommy's bed to soothe his emotions. After doing so, Tommy rarely woke up in the middle of the night. Luke gently stepped inside and saw that Tommy had kicked the blanket onto the floor. He pressed his lips together and covered him again with the blanket. Bianca used to be the one to do that. Bianca would wake up once or twice in the middle of the night to check on their child
