It was the weekend. When Bianca was heading out, the two little ones were pestering her to go together.Worried about her grandfather, she did not have the extra time and patience to coax them, so she could only bring the kids with her.When the car drove to the shopping mall near Centercourt Mall in A City, sitting in a child car seat at the back, Rainie suddenly said to Bianca, "Mommy, my tummy feels a little upset. I want to go to the bathroom..."Last night, she did not listen to her mother's advice and ate a few more pieces of cantaloupe, resulting in a minor stomach ache.Seeing her daughter's cute face crumpled up in discomfort, Bianca asked Zander, the driver, to park in a nearby parking lot and let him and Lanie wait in the car while she accompanied Rainie to the restroom in the shopping mall.Ten minutes later, Rainie emerged from the restroom.Bianca held Rainie's hand and waited for the green light at the crosswalk, unaware that danger was just around the corner!Lei
At the hospital.They were racing against time, and Bianca's life was slipping away.The smell of disinfectant filled their noses, adding more unease to the cold air.Suddenly, the door of the operating room opened.Zander and the twins rushed to the doctor in a white coat and anxiously asked about Bianca's condition.Lanie even tensed his little body, almost holding his breath as he waited for the doctor's answer.The middle-aged doctor removed his mask and said solemnly, "Who's the family member of the patient? The patient's in a critical condition and needs immediate surgery. We also need her family's signature before that!""Doctor, the patient is my employer. I'm sorry, but I don't have the right to sign for her. Lanie and Rainie are too young to take charge, and Mr. Crawford is on his way over right now. Could you please operate on Mrs. Crawford first and have it signed when Mr. Crawford arrives?" Zander was worried, but he was not Bianca's direct family member and could n
Luke smelled blood mingled with disinfectant.The man's tall and imposing body was momentarily stunned and weak.He sat in front of Bianca's hospital bed, his long fingers stroking her blood-stained hair with a distinct tremble.As his fingers moved down, Luke touched Bianca's little face that had little warmth. Because her face was so pale, it made her long lashes look darker and defined.'Abortion, curettage, amputation...'The doctor's words rang in his ears again. Luke clenched his hands and seemed to see the bloody scene of Bianca being hit by a car.The woman he loved most was a treasure he protected in his palm. He was usually afraid to touch a single strand of hair, yet she was now on the verge of death as she lay on the hospital bed, like a withering flower, about to disappear from the world.The figure on the hospital bed was thin and delicate, looking particularly pitiful. Luke gently held Bianca's hand. Due to excessive blood loss, her fingers were soft but extrem
The hospital director was scared into a cold sweat by the furious Luke and repeatedly replied, "Yes. Yes, Mr. Crawford, don't worry about that. I'll do my best to save your wife's life!""I don't want such an ambiguous answer. You shouldn't just try your best, but you have to save her!" The chill in Luke's terrifying eyes almost turned to ice.The hospital director was so shocked he could not speak. Even his teeth were chattering. "Yes, Mr... Mr. Crawford..."Luke's grip loosened a little.Right after he let go, the hospital director hid into the emergency room as if he was running for his life.The Cold-Faced Devil was scary whenever he lost his temper, and he had what it took to walk the talk.To him, the doctors were insignificant.The operating room lights came on again.Looking at the lights, Luke lost all his strength.The man's tall and imposing body leaned limply against the operating room's closed door.His white shirt also seemed to be stained with Bianca's blood, s
The doctors and nurses following behind Johann treated him like a god who worked wonders. Luke felt nervous even though he trusted Johann's skills. "How is Bianca now?" Johann yawned lazily and said with a smile, "Don't worry. With me here, I can save your wife even if she's one foot in the grave. Your third baby is safe, and she doesn't need to amputate. Are you satisfied with the result?" "Thank you, Johann." Luke's words of gratitude were genuine. He was usually an emotionally reserved person, and he seldom thanked others. For Bianca, he had thanked Johann multiple times. That made Johann somewhat surprised. "Tsk tsk, it's rare that you thank me." Luke was in a good mood. He was generous toward the doctor who had saved his wife. "Tell me what you want. I'll fulfill your wishes to the best of my ability." Before Johann could reply, several nurses came out of the operating theater while pushing a surgical stretcher. Bianca remained unconscious after the operation.
In the hospital. After sending the twins home, Jason returned to the ward. He was shocked when he saw his boss's gaze. His boss had always maintained a noble and imposing demeanor. At the current moment, under the lamplight, his sculpted face looked sorrowful and haggard. Jason was about to speak when his boss turned his hawk-like gaze at him. "Find the perpetrator as fast as you can. He shall not be spared! Zander is already on the case. You should cooperate with him." His voice was resonant and hoarse. Every utterance oozed with frightening coldness. Jason nodded respectfully. "Yes, Boss. If this is an accident…" "It's not an accident!" Jason could hear the anger in Luke's raised voice. "My intuition tells me that it's not an accident! My wife and unborn child nearly died, and they are lying on this bed right now. How could it be an accident?" It was said that women's intuitions are very accurate; sometimes a man's intuition can be equally accurate too. Jason was su
After performing the examination, the hospital director spoke in amazement. "Mr. Crawford, Mrs. Crawford's legs are saved, though she'll need physiotherapy to fully recover. Of course, the baby in her womb is very tenacious too. Mrs. Crawford should avoid being emotionally agitated. Otherwise, it might cause another miscarriage…" Bianca was not used to the hospital director calling her "Mrs. Crawford." She was not married to Luke yet, and she had humiliated the Crawford family at the engagement ceremony. That made her feel awkward, but seeing that Luke did not say anything about it, she did not mind it. "Thank you, Director," Bianca said to the hospital director happily after knowing that her baby was saved. "You're thanking the wrong person, Mrs. Crawford. The doctor who saved you is Dr. Johann Park. I was only assisting him." The hospital director rubbed his nose sheepishly. After practicing medicine for so many years, his skills were still no match to a previously unknown
Mavis stayed in the hospital ward for some time. The indulgent way Luke treated Bianca suffocated Mavis! Eventually, she left the hospital ward, carrying her jealousy and hatred with her. After Mavis left, Sue, Tom, and Nina arrived one after another bearing presents. They greeted Luke, then asked Bianca how she felt. They felt somewhat awkward with their boss's overbearing demeanor present. Seeing that his presence caused unease in his employees, Luke excused himself, saying that he had to smoke. He would give some space for Bianca's colleagues. "How did you suddenly end up in a car crash? It's so serious, too." Nina asked while holding Bianca's hand. She was unhappy as she looked at Bianca's leg in a bulky cast. "It was an accident. I got hit when I was crossing a road. I'm fine now, don't worry." Bianca had trivialized the car crash that had almost claimed her life, so that her colleagues would not have to worry about her. Sue was pregnant with twins for six month
