Luke flicked the cigarette elegantly on the ashtray. "Find him and the mastermind, no matter what it takes." His voice was soft and frigid. It sounded melodic but at the same time spine-chilling. "Yes." Jason nodded. He knew that his boss was truly angry this time. … Luke returned to the ward. Old Master Rayne was old and in ill health. Wanda sent him home first. Bianca comforted Nina for a while more until the latter calmed down completely. Then, she asked Jason to send her home. Only Luke and Bianca were left in the ward. Bianca stared at Luke. Even though he was dressed in casual clothes, his demeanor remained noble. His sculpted features became even more mysterious and charming under the light. The man was dazzling, but he had attracted too many women. She could not help but think of the coy and feminine voice while he was at the party. She wanted to ask about that woman, but she opened her mouth and eventually decided to stay silent. She had said that she
On the bed, Bianca leaned against the pillow and gently comforted her daughter. When the little girl fell asleep from exhaustion, Luke carried her and placed her on the other bed. Lanie had been silent all this while. He walked in front of Bianca, held her hand, and said with a hint of hesitation, "Mommy, I wish I can grow up now. When I'm grown up, I can protect you, and you won't be hurt." Bianca was deeply moved by Lanie's words. She gently pinched Lanie's face and joked, "All Mommy wants is for you and Rainie to live happily. You two are my responsibility now, but when Daddy and I are old, you can take care of us. I hope you and Rainie won't think that we're burdens…" "We won't, Mommy," Lanie clenched his fists tightly and made a solemn promise to his mother. "You and Daddy are so nice to us. When we're older, we'll definitely take care of you. The Bible says to honor thy father and thy mother, and that is what we will do." The little boy blinked his innocent eyes as he
Wayne was piqued. He stopped tearing away Leia's gown, surprised that the woman would take the initiative. Leia seemed to have noticed Wayne's bafflement. She wrapped her slender leg around Wayne's leg in military fatigues. Resisting the disgust in her heart, she said coyly, "It's been so long since we last met, Wayne. I miss you so much. Where have you been? Why didn't you come and visit me…" Her hand sneaked under Wayne's shirt. A lecherous smile appeared on Wayne's rugged face. His passions rose, and he started talking dirty. "Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you can't hold it in anymore? I knew it. Once I've deflowered a woman, they'll always come back for more!" "Aww, don't say that! You're just too charming…" Leia leaned against Wayne's chest and smiled happily. Her actions became more intimate. She did not have too much experience with that sort of thing, but she had seen many instances of that happening in the entertainment industry. Many new female celeb
Jason crouched down and placed a finger under Dwight's nose. The man's skin was still warm, but he was no longer breathing. Clearly, he had met his end very recently. Sean and a few other police officers went as fast they could to pursue the killer. He was a scout when he served in the military. His speed and combat skills were top-notch. However, it seemed that the killer was better. No matter how fast he ran, the killer seemed to be able to outpace him. The killer was very agile, and he knew how to take cover behind the vines, trees, and shrubs in the woods. The distance between the two parties grew. Sean could only catch a glimpse of the killer's military fatigues that seemed to blend into the background. The killer was about to escape from his field of vision. With no other choice, Sean grabbed a handgun from a police officer, cocked it skillfully, and fired several shots at the killer's fleeing back. His marksmanship was one of the best in his troop, but he did n
Anand looked obsessively at Bianca on the hospital bed. She might be seriously injured, and her legs were in a bulky plaster cast, but in her eyes, the young woman who was silently reading a book on the bed was like a goddess that had appeared in a dream. Bianca averted Anand's passionate gaze. She coughed lightly and said unhappily, "Anand, I've already told you that I have a fiance, and we are going to be married soon. I will hand you the invitation personally. Please don't say such words again; it will cause misunderstandings, and I have no affection toward you. Also, my fiance is very nice to me. He'll keep me company in the hospital every night. It's just that he's tied up with work now, but he'll come back here as soon as he's done." Anand felt a little sad when Bianca rejected him. However, he did not give up. He walked up and sat down on a chair next to Bianca. He waved his hands a few times and suddenly pulled out a beautiful red rose out of thin air. "This is for you,
Meanwhile, Leia walked off the catwalk with a sullen expression on her face. She was dressed in an exquisite white gown, and she had a tiara on her head. Following behind her was her agent. There had been a lot of news about Leia recently, including how she had thrown tantrums while filming, how she had insulted her fans, how her acting was terrible, and even major scandals while she was in the orphanage. Each piece of news was bursting with details and was equally as shocking. The talent company was in chaos as they tried various solutions to clear Leia's reputation. However, they could not stop the flood of negative news. Before this, they could easily suppress any unfavorable rumors with the mere mention of Jack Norman's name. However, the offending party did not seem to be afraid of the Provincial Committee Secretary this time. They wanted to find out the mastermind's identity, but they could not find anything at all. It was incredibly frustrating. "Leia, do you think
Seeing how Queenie was staring at her, Bianca's gaze fell on the flask on the table. She smiled gratefully to Queenie. "Thank you for visiting me, Mrs. Norman. I'm sorry that I can't stand to greet you. Please take a seat…" Queenie saw the bright smile on Bianca's face. For a moment, she was caught in a daze. Not only did the young woman look similar to her, but when she smiled, the two faint dimples that appeared were exactly the same as hers. Queenie remembered Bianca's performance at Old Mr. Norman's birthday party. Bianca's singing voice almost sounded like hers when she was younger. How could there be someone who not only looked, but sounded, acted, and smiled almost the same way as her? Queenie instantly felt an affinity toward Bianca, perhaps because Bianca reminded her of her younger days. "Don't worry, Ms. Rayne. I've made some chicken soup for you, and I hope you'll like it." As she said that, she opened the flask. The fragrance of the chicken soup filled the
Bianca noticed that Queenie was looking at her lower abdomen. She deliberately tugged her blanket and covered the lower half of her body. "It might be spring now, but the weather has been unpredictable lately. I sometimes feel chilly even though I'm staying in my room… You should dress more warmly, Aunt Queenie. It's easy to catch a cold in this weather." Queenie discreetly looked away and smiled. "I know that you're a luckless person, Bianca. You might not have too many close relations, and you want to find a significant other you can rely on. However, I really don't think that Luke is a suitable man for you. "I remember when I first saw you, I thought that we're somehow fated. You are almost the same age as Leia, and you have a good character. I like girls like you. If you're willing, I can be your godmother. That way, you won't feel as lonely. In the future, I can help you if you face any difficulties, say if your grandfather needs medical fees or if you want to advance in you
