Bianca decided to head back to the hospital. Wanda went home to rest after Bianca insisted that she do so. After Luke sent the twins back to school, he went to T Corporation. … When Bianca arrived at the hospital, Old Master Rayne had yet to awaken. Jason was still waiting in the ward. Bianca smiled at Jason gratefully and looked at her unconscious grandfather. She said sadly, "Thank you, Mr. Doyle. I’m sorry for the trouble. I’m sure Sue is overwhelmed at home taking care of the two children. You should go home." She was embarrassed. Although Jason was a special assistant, he was always asked to come and help no matter how big or small the matter was. He needed personal space and had his own things to deal with too. What was more, now that he and Sue had two children together, they were busy every day. She did not want to trouble him as much. Jason glanced at Old Master Rayne and saw that his condition had stabilized, so he said, "Okay. Ms. Rayn
The door to the CEO’s office was not closed, and there was a small gap. Mavis stood outside the door and sneaked a peak. Luke was standing sideways in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. His slender body carried a compelling extravagance as he looked at the bustling city outside. The sunlight highlighted his side profile with a golden shine. The corners of his lips were raised, and this sight could charm the heart of any woman in the world. Mavis stared at Luke like a love-sick idiot. She wanted to open the door and rush over, but her feet seemed to be under a spell. She could not move at all. After a while, she suddenly thought of her makeup. She took a deep breath and rushed into her office. She had a private toilet inside her office. With slightly shaky hands, Mavis took out the cosmetic bag she carried with her, poured out the contents, and immediately began to doll herself up. She had always thought that Luke liked strong, aggressiv
Although Eugene Hawking was only 30 years old, he was mature and prudent. He knew that Luke's return to A City would be big news that would dominate the headlines. Eugene excitedly rubbed his chin with the palm of his hand and ordered his special assistant, "All the staff will work overtime tonight. Get all the paper media and new media channels under JK to report as much as possible about Luke's return. Also, dig into the story behind his disappearance over the past two years. Our readers and audience will be most interested in this." His assistant frowned slightly and said in disagreement, "CEO, people are paying the most attention to celebrity gossip like divorces, custody battles, and affairs. Although T Corporation is very powerful, reporting on Mr. Crawford won’t be as profitable for us compared to celebrity gossip. Mr. Crawford is not a celebrity. His sudden reappearance after being missing for a few years is not that big of a deal." Eugene shook his head, an inco
T Corporation’s press conference. Seeing that Luke was praising his wife endlessly, another news reporter could not help but ask him, "Mr. Crawford, what’s the biggest mistake you’ve made in your life?” Luke tugged on his tie gracefully as his magnetic voice said steadfastly, "The biggest mistake in my life was becoming the CEO of T Corporation." Everyone was stunned and kept silent for a moment. The employees of T Corporation were all sweating over his answer.There was no perfect answer to this question. One had to expose one's shortcomings to the public. Luke's deep gaze looked focused under the spotlight as he said in a serious tone, "Since becoming the CEO of T Corporation, I’ve owed my wife and three children too much. If there’s a next life, I would choose to have an ordinary job that would allow me to spend more time with my wife and children. My biggest mistake is that I’ve been married for so long but haven't had time to prepare a grand wedding for h
Old Master Rayne regained consciousness on the third day. Bianca was overjoyed. She stayed by him and attended to him. The VIP hospital ward was spacious and brightly lit. The cozy sunlight shone through the windows and brightened the gloomy atmosphere. Bianca sat next to the bed and peeled some grapes. She removed the seeds and fed the sweet grape flesh in her grandfather's mouth. "Are you feeling any better, Grandpa? Do you feel any discomfort?" The corner of Old Master Rayne's mouth was slanted because his facial nerves were affected. He was in good spirits, though his speech was slightly slurred. "Nggh… I'm… I'm fine…" Bianca was more than happy that her grandfather managed to survive the ordeal. She had Johann to thank. Johann said that Old Master Rayne would have to exercise frequently. The old man might not completely recover, but he could at least live normally. Bianca stood up and poured a glass of warm water for her grandfather. She looked into his eyes and sa
Wayne's muscular body stood in front of the bed. His well-built body formed a stark contrast with Leia's frail body, who seemed more like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Leia had always known that Wayne had certain interests in bed. She had suffered quite a lot, but today was shaping up to be the worst torture ever. Leia retreated out of shock. When her back hit the corner of the room, she realized that she could not escape. "W… Wayne… I'm not feeling very well today. Can we do this some other day?" She sounded like she was almost crying. Wayne grabbed Leia's hair and pulled her away from the corner without showing her any tenderness. "You'll do what I tell you! I'll kill you if you don't!" He delivered a mighty slap on Leia's face, which caused her to tumble off the bed and onto the floor. Leia's cheek instantly swelled up. She felt that her teeth were coming loose too. She spat out a mouthful of blood, though more blood continued to flow from the corner of her lip
Bianca's gaze fell onto a rose garden in full bloom in the garden outside of the window. The flowers were white, pink, red, and orange. Thanks to her meticulous care, the plants were especially healthy. The bloom brought love and warmth to the house. However, Luke would be gone for a few days. Without Luke at home, there would be less love and warmth. Bianca lowered her gaze. When she looked at Luke again, she seemed visibly unhappy. Luke kissed her lips helplessly and promised Bianca once more, "I'll come home safely, and I can promise you that. If I can't do that, you can punish me however you want." "Alright." Bianca agreed to it, though her left ear was ringing once again, which made her uneasy. She hugged Luke tightly to try to make herself feel better. "You will come home safe. Otherwise, I won't forgive you!" … Luke sat in his seat on the flight to Country M. He closed his eyes to rest. He had developed a keen intuition in his stint on the Island of Despair
Bianca struggled to breathe when she looked at Tommy, whose face resembled Luke. Pain spread throughout her chest. Every breath felt painful. What followed the pain was sorrow and grief… Luke had promised her that he would return safely, but it seemed that he would be going back on his word again. Tommy could see from Bianca's face that she was not in a good mood. He was not as naughty as before. Instead, he handed Bianca a napkin and said, "You're crying, Mommy. Wipey…" The little boy tiptoed and tried to reach his mother's face so that he could wipe off the tears for her. However, he was too short. Dejectedly, he tugged the hem of his mother's sleeve and asked her, "What happened, Mommy? Don't ignore me. Did I do something wrong? I won't ever make you angry again, Mommy. Can you please forgive me?" The little cutie that was half his mother's height thought that he had gotten into trouble. He was apologizing to Bianca, even though he did not know what he did wrong.
