Chapter 101
Chapter 101 Bianca, You Really Need Help!
Luke's words were not flirty at all but just pure mockery.
Bianca blushed and leaned against the wall behind the door. She slowly closed her eyes and swallowed down her saliva as she forced herself to breathe.
She lowered her head and scolded herself in her head, 'Bianca, how can you be so sick? How can you think about doing those kinds of things with him?!
'Bianca, you really need help!
'Have you forgotten what's your relation with him?
'Please open your eyes!'
After she tried to repress her complicated feelings, Bianca entered the room with the food.
Luke was already dressed in a dark gray shirt and black trousers. It made him look even more mysterious, distant, and cold.
Since he just woke up, his eyes still looked tired and dazed. When he looked at the woman who just walked in, he asked coldly, "Did you bring me food?"
Bianca put down the plate.
She glanced at him and said, "Grandpa told me to bring you food. I can't say no to him."
Luke buttoned the cuffs of his shirt with his fingers. He looked up at her and said, "Sit down. Let's have a meal together. I know you haven't eaten either because you were downstairs for just a while before coming back up."
From the time, he was sure that Bianca had not eaten.
However, Bianca did not sit down with him. "Take your time. I'm not hungry yet."
Luke frowned and glanced at the woman who went out of the room. She merely looked at the food, looked away, and walked to the study.
20 minutes later, Bianca went back to the room.
He had not touched his food.
If they were a normal couple, she ought to worry about him as a girlfriend. However, the truth was that she and Luke were no longer in a relationship like that.
Whether he ate or not, it was not her responsibility to care. Otherwise, it might seem like an invitation to get back together.
She took the plate downstairs.
When she got to the kitchen, Bianca explained the situation to the nanny. The nanny did not ask more questions and cleaned up the plate.
When Bianca saw that Grandpa had finished his food, she pushed him around the garden for a stroll. Since the pavement in the garden was flat, there was no problem pushing the wheelchair by herself.
When they got to the middle of the lawn, Old Man Rayne said to the granddaughter pushing the wheelchair behind him, "Can you pour a glass of water for me? And can you lend me your phone? I want to use it."
Bianca did not know what Grandpa was up to, so she naively gave him her phone.
"Grandpa, I'll get you the water."
"Alright." Old Man Rayne watched his granddaughter leave before calling someone.
Kevin knew that his father was in A City, and he also knew how his daughter convinced the old man. They made sure they were on the same page so that he would not slip up when Grandpa called him.
Since Grandpa was worried that his granddaughter would come back anytime soon, he only said a few words, "Kevin, can I ask you a question? Is your ex-wife called Allison Tanner? Is she currently in A City?!"
When Kevin, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard his old man's question, he had a bold guess that his old man must have met Allison and perhaps thought that her name sounded familiar.
'Did Allison not admit who she is? Otherwise, why is Dad calling to confirm?
In order to avoid trouble, Kevin lied, "Dad, you must have remembered wrongly. It's Julie Zimmer... My ex is called Julie Zimmer..." 3
After speaking, Kevin could hear his old man sigh with relief. 2
At Crawford Manor. 1
At that moment, Bianca came out with a glass of water. The old man hung up the phone.
Bianca took a look at her phone and found that Grandpa had called Dad. However, from the looks of Grandpa's expression, it seemed that nothing interesting happened.
After she sent Grandpa upstairs, Bianca called Dad.
"Dad, what did Grandpa ask?"
"Your grandpa must have run into your mother. He called me to ask if your mother is called Allison Tanner. However, I lied to him and said it’s been a long time, so he probably forgot her name. I told him
that your mother is called Julie Zimmer... Cough! Cough!" Kevin coughed because he was talking too much.
He did not object to his daughter's contact with her biological mother but hoped that his daughter would not let Grandpa know about it.
Bianca agreed.
She did not dare to disagree with anything. In addition to her father's emotions and health, she also had to worry about Grandpa's emotions and health.
As Bianca sat on the bench in the garden, she thought sadly about the next step.
After thinking about it, it seemed that the only thing she could do was wait until Grandpa’s condition stabilized and he stopped coughing up blood before she could bring him back.
Whether it was staying at home or in the hospital for observation, it could only be done after his condition stabilized.
At that moment, a black Porsche Cayenne stopped at the gates of Crawford Manor. It was obvious that it was a new car.
When the person got out of the car, someone came out from the manor.
Allison hugged the man in his 30s who got out of the car and sighed." Xavier, we've been looking forward to you coming out for a long time."
'Coming out?
'Where was he coming out from?'
The man called Xavier Tanner smiled. His dark facial features suddenly softened a bit. "Thank you, Aunt Allison. Where’s Luke?"
"Upstairs." After Allison finished speaking, she walked past her nephew and hugged a tiny-looking girl. She smiled even brighter. "I almost can't
recognize you anymore, Von. How old are you now?"
"I'm 19 this year, but I've already graduated and am going to start working soon." Yvonne Gideon smiled and showed two eye-catching dimples on her cheeks.
The group of them talked and laughed and went upstairs.
Bianca stayed in the garden and did not know how to approach them.
They were the Crawfords' guests. It felt as if Grandpa and she were extras and hindrances in the manor.
Suddenly, Bianca's phone rang suddenly.
"Come upstairs. Your grandpa is coughing up blood again." Allison's impatient voice was heard.
Bianca was taken aback. She put down everything and went upstairs.
However, before she reached the room where Grandpa was resting, Allison suddenly grabbed her hand after coming out of a room.
Allison looked at Bianca closely and asked, "Why are you running so recklessly?"
"My grandpa..." Before Bianca could finish her sentence, she realized that Allison had come out of the study.
Luke was sitting in the office chair with a cold expression. His sharp eyes were looking at her while she stood by the door.
Next to Luke was the girl from downstairs earlier who claimed to be only 19 years old. The girl stared at Luke's jawline and Adam's apple coquettishly as if she was bewitched.
On the other side of the sofa was the man downstairs who Allison had called Xavier. He had his legs crossed.
Bianca realized she had been tricked by Allison and that Grandpa did not cough up any blood.
In front of her son, Allison pulled Bianca over-enthusiastically and said," Von just won’t stop saying how she wants to marry our Luke. I told her that my son already has a girlfriend. And speaking of the devil, you came over right after I said that."
"We've already broken up," Luke's low voice suddenly said. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
After he said that, he frowned and continued his work. His face grew gloomier.
Bianca was stunned at first, then she nodded. "I just haven't told the two grandpas yet. I'm afraid they..."
