Outside the window, the moonlight was gently shining in. The moonlight shone through the white curtains brought a sense of comforting beauty to this dark night. The intensive care unit was quiet at night, except for the ticking sound of the oxygen generator. Under the soft lights, Bianca affectionately gazed at Luke. The white wall lamp provided her with an unobstructed view of Luke's face. His handsome face seemed to have aged a little. His lips were a little dry and there were some visible cracks. Bianca picked up a clean wet towel, placed it on his lips, and gently wiped them. Luke had always managed his stress on his own, protecting Bianca and the kids from all of that. However, he did not know that his actions were hurting her. She was his wife; she was supposed to face his troubles with him and fight by his side. Bianca thought to herself, ‘When he wakes up, I have to bring this up with him.’ The dizzying white light enveloped Bianca's
T Corporation’s press conference. In the washroom. Bianca looked at herself in the mirror. Her clean face was pale and haggard, while her messy long hair was casually draped over her chest. The fitted suit wrapped her slender body perfectly. Bianca tied her hair up into a ponytail, and she gently stroked the diamond necklace on her chest. It had been a wedding gift from Luke. At this point in time, it gave her unlimited courage and confidence. She smiled at herself, rinsed her face with cold water, and cheered herself on! It was just a press conference. She would get it done for her husband. … Outside. Whether it was the authoritative media companies or the small media outlets that usually survived on entertainment news, all of the influential media in A City was present. Even some well-known international news media had rushed over. All of the channels that originally broadcasted dramas or entertainment channels all switched to the live
Bianca faced the reporters' antagonistic questions by brushing away her sideburns and speaking in a solemn voice. "No words can express the guilt in my heart while faced with such a major tragedy. As the owner of The Galleria, I admit that T Corporation cannot shirk our responsibility in this incident. However, we cannot conclude if there is an element of sabotage in the accident. We have already set up a special task force that will cooperate with the police on the investigations. I would advise the general public not to worry. The investigative process shall be fully transparent, and we will give everyone a satisfactory explanation!" After she said that, there was a commotion among the reporters. The reporters jostled among each other to be the first to ask questions. They bombarded Bianca with all sorts of weird and tricky questions. They lifted their microphones as high as they could and shouted their questions out loud. The scene at the press conference was utterly chaot
Luke had been sleeping for two days. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Bianca holding his hand. The curtains were half-drawn, and the sunlight that came through the window created mottled patterns on the floor. He could hear birds chirping outside. His hand was slightly cool. The soft and tender hand that enveloped his hand was warmer, and it carried a familiar fragrance. Bianca looked at Luke in a daze. He had been unconscious for two days, but for Bianca, it might as well have been two years. The stray strands of his mustache were like sprouts next to his lips. He seemed unkempt. He was not in his best condition, though his gaze was animated. As their eyes met, Bianca greedily relished the fact that Luke was filled with vigor once more. Her eyes misted up. She grasped his hand tightly and said softly, "You're finally awake, Luke. How are your injuries? Does it hurt?" Luke looked at her determinedly. "It doesn't hurt. I'm fine. It's only a minor inj
Bianca was not interested in getting into such meaningless quibbles with Mavis. Moreover, Luke really needed to rest. She indicated to Mavis to step outside of the ward to talk. After they went out, Bianca gently closed the door so that Luke would not be bothered by what was happening outside. Mavis glared at Bianca, angry at her ingratitude. How could she be in the mood to eat tarts when the CEO was so heavily injured? If it were her, she would have been so worried that she would not be able to eat or sleep. Mr. Crawford's love was wasted on Bianca Rayne! Mavis pressed her crimson lips together, and her beautiful face was wracked with anger. "Why do you have the appetite to eat now, Ms. Rayne? T Corporation is in chaos now, and the CEO is seriously injured. You look so relaxed when everyone else is so worried!" The sarcasm in her words was palpable. Bianca leaned on the wall and gave Mavis a side-eye. "In your opinion, Ms. Laviere, how should I react to this situation?
When Luke woke up again, he saw Bianca sitting next to him on the bed. One of her hands was gently caressing his palm, while her chin rested on her other hand as she stared at him. She was unbelievably beautiful under the warm sunlight. Her face was fair and soft, and her eyes were clear and animated. Her eyelashes were thin and long. When she blinked, they flapped like two nimble butterflies. However, there seemed to be an inexplicable melancholy in her gaze. He could not help but frown. He did not wish to see her worry about something. Bianca smiled gently when she saw that Luke was awake. "Are you hungry? It's about to rain outside. What do you want to eat? I'll have it delivered." Luke shook his head and patted his bed. "I'm not hungry. Come and lie down next to me, Bea." Bianca let go of his hand and went to pour a glass of warm water for him. "Your lips look dry. You should drink some water." Luke took the glass and gently sipped the water. He looked at her, not
Leia was half-naked on the bed with Wayne. She was panting heavily after the vigorous session when Wayne abruptly covered her mouth. "Shh…" "What's wrong?" Leia glared at Wayne unhappily while her limber body crawled onto Wayne's chest. "Someone's outside!" Wayne was acutely aware of his surroundings, even when he was making out with a woman. Leia broke out in a cold sweat, and she struggled to get up. "My mom must be back. Let go of me, you b*stard!" Even though the door was locked and Queenie would not barge in, Leia was scared that someone might catch her in the act, and she was even more afraid that her parents found out that she was harboring a wanted criminal. Instead of letting her go, Wayne cackled sinisterly. His movements became even more vigorous. "I'm in the middle of something now. Even God will have to wait until I'm done!" Leia could not believe what she heard. She thought that the man was insane. Her sharp nails dug into Wayne's shoulders, but that o
Queenie was washing vegetables in the kitchen, but her mind seemed to be elsewhere. She was in a horrible mood. She wondered why her two daughters had been fraught with obstacles recently. First, her younger daughter was caught taking drugs and detained in the drug rehab center. Then, her elder daughter's husband got into an accident. The Galleria's collapse was no small matter. T Corporation would be ruined if the matter was not handled properly, not to mention that Luke, as its CEO, might be sentenced to prison. During her hospital visit, she noticed that Luke was not in a good physical condition, and she wondered if he had thought of a solution yet. Jack might be trying his best to pull some strings, but he was about two years away from retirement, and his relations in the political scene were already starting to distance themselves from him. Also, Jack's impartial attitude had made him many enemies over the years. Leia, her younger daughter, had always caused her worry.
