Luke was relieved at first, but he became nervous again. He carefully stepped inside and saw the woman. The woman looked exactly like Bianca. His eyes opened wide at that instant. His legs froze, and he refused to take another step forward. "Bea…" Luke opened his mouth, but his throat was dry, and his voice was forced. The woman sat on the bed, hugging her knees and shivering. She was cackling maniacally and shrieking as though she did not hear Luke. When she lifted her head, the scar on her neck was clearly seen. The scene stabbed Luke's eyes like a knife. She was his Bianca, but she was also not his Bianca! "All of you are bad guys! Bad guys!" The woman tore her clothes but soon clenched them tightly. "Don't touch me! Get lost! Go away, now!" No one dared to step closer to the bed while she continued to behave erratically. She threw a pillow at Luke and screamed, "Go away! All of you are bad guys!" The foul-smelling pillow landed on Luke's face, but he did not dodge.
Bianca's water broke. The bedsheets were gradually stained with a mixture of amniotic fluid and blood. Abel grinned even sider when he saw the woman slumped on the bed. He sauntered over casually and checked her breath. Bianca was still breathing, albeit her breath was very shallow. "It's finally time." Abel laughed brazenly. He had been waiting for this moment for very long. Bianca was wheeled into the operating theater. Shanks was preparing for the operation. Abel came in through the door and said, "Take this opportunity to change her face too." Shanks was wiping his instruments with a sterilized cloth. He paused for a while before saying, "Are you sure you want to do it now?" "She'll have to go under anyway. To you, a C-section and plastic surgery are minor procedures." Abel thought of achieving his goal in one shot. Bianca's water broke, and there was a threat of miscarriage. After conducting an examination, Abel decided to perform a C-section. Abel did not want to
The room was quiet save for Shanks occasionally flipping the pages. The siblings did not do anything. An hour later, the effects of the anesthesia wore off, and Bianca slowly came to. She opened her eyes with much difficulty. She could feel pain all over her body. Noticing Bianca's movements, Shanks put the magazine away, glanced at the drip bottle, and looked at her. "How do you feel?" Without the effects of the anesthesia, Bianca thought that her entire body was in pain. She opened her lips slightly and found that they were numb. "Hurts." Bianca's weakness lasted for only one second. She remembered that she had just delivered and asked, "Where is my child?" "The operation was successful. The child is with Abel," Shanks replied. Bianca took a deep breath. After bearing the baby for nine months, she did not have the right to carry the baby in her arms. "It's a girl," Abel said. Silent tears flowed down Bianca's face when she thought that the baby girl could not remain
After he finished speaking, the baby cried even louder. Her face was red. Bianca's heart wrenched, but her eyes remained closed. She did not want to look at the baby. "Tsk tsk." Abel shook his head at the crying baby. "I didn't expect that you could be so heartless, Bianca. I'll be bringing the baby away with me. You can come to me any time you feel like seeing her." After that, he left the room with the baby. The baby continued crying. Bianca could hear her wails as she disappeared down the corridor. Bianca slowly opened her teary eyes. She looked as though she was going to cry at any time. Eler immediately wiped her eyes with a napkin. "You shouldn't cry, Miss. It'll be troublesome if your wounds are infected." Bianca blinked and looked upward. From Bianca's expression, Eler could see that she was not as heartless as Abel said she was. "Miss, if you miss your baby, I'll let Boss know. He seems like he wants you to take care of the baby." Bianca shook her head. "I ca
"It's not painful. It's better to feed the baby breast milk," Bianca said softly. She knew that breast milk was better than baby formula. Seeing Bianca's determination, Eler did not try to convince her otherwise. She saw that it was already noon and said, "I'll go and get lunch from the kitchen, Miss. Please rest for a while." "Alright." Bianca closed her eyes. Meanwhile, in A City. Luke was standing in the corridor. He frowned hard when he heard the hysterical screams coming from inside. Unable to alleviate his frustration otherwise, he took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. The person screaming hysterically in the ward was Bianca Rayne. He had made arrangements to transport her back to A City after finding her. According to the diagnosis, Bianca had many serious psychological problems caused by repeated trauma. As for her body… Luke dragged his cigarette out of frustration. Johann had asked a female doctor to conduct a full examination on Bianca's body, who fo
Luke was silent. Just like Wanda, he had the same unfamiliar feeling with the woman in the ward. He had been telling himself that Bianca had changed a lot after the trauma she had experienced. Wanda was silent when she saw that Luke did not say anything. "I understand that you have reasonable doubts, Luke. I might be Bianca's aunt, but I won't say anything if you decide to investigate." Luke nodded slightly. "I'll go in and take a look at Bianca." Wanda nodded. "I'll go home first. Bea's grandfather is still waiting. I hope you can give some consideration to what I said." "I'll consider it carefully," Luke said thoughtfully. After Wanda left, Luke went into the ward. The nurse taking care of Bianca nodded toward him, then left the ward to give the married couple some personal space. Luke moved close to the bed and looked at Bianca, who was sleeping soundly. Ever since she was admitted to the hospital, she had been either behaving hysterically or sitting there in a daz
Bianca lifted her head in shock and saw Shanks placing her hair in the sealing bag. "What are you doing?" "Preventing Luke Crawford from discovering that the person is a fake Bianca Rayne." Shanks did not hide the truth from her. Now that she had delivered her baby and her health was recovering, he was not afraid that she might kill herself. He expected that Bianca would be angry after hearing that. However, she smiled mockingly instead. "How meticulous. How else do you plan to torment me?" She asked. As Shanks looked at her mocking expression, his heart stung as though there was a tiny needle pricking it. He picked up his things on the bed and left the room. Bianca's mocking smile faded as she watched Shanks leave the room. She expected that Luke would suspect that the woman was only an impostor and get her DNA analyzed, but she did not expect that Abel and Shanks would think of that too. If Luke performed a DNA test on that woman, they would be swapping her blood and ha
"It's not serious. Don't you trust in Mr. Shanks's skills?" The kitchen lady chuckled when she saw how anxious Eler was. Then, she continued, "It's strange though. The baby has been very difficult, but I've never heard her cry in the lab. Mr. Shanks is either very good with kids, or…" The kitchen lady stopped speaking. Eler did not understand what she was trying to say, so she asked, "Or what, Madam?" "Silly girl! What if Mr. Shanks calmed the baby down with drugs?" The kitchen lady whispered. Shanks was not short on drugs. Surely at least one of them could be used to calm a baby down. Eler was shocked. "Mr. Shanks will never do that!" She said in disbelief. "What do you mean? None of the men on this island would have the patience to take care of a baby!" The kitchen lady said. Eler became even more anxious when she heard that. She was about to rush into the laboratory to check on the baby when Shanks came out while carrying the baby. "Give it to me." He glanced at the fl
