Luke arrived at the hospital.
Both of them got out of the car wearing masks and caps. Luca could not believe that there
would come a day when she would have to disguise herself just like Luke.
After all, her photo had been publicly posted on the forum. If she walked into the hospital
now, she might attract attention and cause trouble for Luke.
Before Luke got out of the car, he already found out about Queenie's ward room number.
They went upstairs and arrived at the door of the ward room. Luca stopped and said in a
soft voice, "You go in first. I'll wait here. If there's anything I can help with, just call me^"
Luca dared not to go inside. She was afraid that her presence might upset Queenie.
Patients with blood pressure problems should not be subjected to any stress.
"Alright, I'll go in and see what's going on," replied Luke. Then, he pushed the door open
and entered the ward.
Luca sat on a bench in the hospital corridor. Since it was a VIP floor, there were not many
people passing by. Even though she was wearing a cap and a mask, she did not attract
much attention.
Many family members on this floor were also wearing caps and masks.
After Luke entered the ward, he saw Jack standing up.
"Dad," Luke greeted him and turned to look at the hospital bed. Queenie was not there.
"Where’s Mom?"
"The nurse took her for a medical check-up. I knew you were coming, so I had the
caretaker follow her. But why are you alone?" Jack did not see Luca and asked.
He thought Luca would come together with Luke.
With this situation unfolding, should Luca not tell them the truth by now?
That was what Jack thought. Thus, when Queenie saw the news reports about their
relationship, he did not reveal Luca’s identity to her.

After all, Queenie had been thinking about Bianca all this time.
She believed Bianca was still abroad, simply refusing to come back. In fact, Bianca had
been by her side all along, showing extra care for the two of them.
“She's here, but she's outside," Luke said in a hushed voice even though the hospital ward
had good sound insulation. He removed his mask and cap.
Jack frowned. "Why is she outside? She doesn't want to come in?"
"She doesn't know how to face Mom. She probably hasn't thought about confessing yet."
Luke turned around and glanced back to make sure the door was closed before walking
toward Jack.
Jack could not help but wonder. He had lived for so many years. This was the first time he
encountered such a situation.
His biological daughter was right beside him, but she had changed her identity and
refused to acknowledge them.
Even in this situation, she still refused to reveal her true identity. Did they have to wait for
something serious to happen to Queenie before Luca would disclose her true self?
"Her mom is already upset, but she still refuses to speak up. How are we going to handle
this situation? If she comes back from the check-up and sees her, she'll definitely be
anxious. Should we tell her or not?" Jack was even more puzzled. He knew that Luca was
hiding so many things because she had no choice, but this was a critical moment.
Luca cared so much for her parents. She certainly did not want any problems to arise for
them.
However, if Queenie did not know the truth, she would definitely still be distressed.
Jack did not want to witness such a scene.
"Go ahead," said Luke as he took a document out of his briefcase.
It was something he took from the study room before he left the house. It was the DNA
test report on Luca and the children.
It was the same one he had shown to Jack before.
"Do you really want to tell her? Why don't you do it?" Jack had no idea how to handle this
matter. He could not understand what Luca was afraid of and why she was reluctant to
acknowledge her family, especially at a time like this.
Jack was eager to show her the evidence and force her to admit that she was Bianca.
However, Luke disagreed with it.
As a father, Jack wanted to reunite with his daughter, but he understood that only Luke
could help Luca escape from the Island of Despair.
Hence, it was up to Luke to decide.
"If we keep this from my wife, she'll probably continue feeling distressed..."
A rare hint of helplessness flashed across Luke's eyes. He did not know what the Island of
Despair was using to blackmail Luca. Despite everything that had happened, she was still
unwilling to reveal her true identity.
On the other hand, they could not keep Queenie in the dark for long. Prolonged high blood
pressure could lead to dizziness and put too much strain on her organs. Even if Luca tried
her best to help Queenie recover, it would be difficult.
As children, they wished for their parents' good health. Luke believed Luca felt the same.
Otherwise, she would not be waiting outside at this moment.
"Well, let's tell her. But if Luca won't speak up, how do you plan to make her confess
everything?" Jack felt that they needed to understand what the Island of Despair was
using to blackmail Luca.
Otherwise, how could she refuse to recognize her husband, parents, and children?
"We'll need Mom's cooperation, and if necessary, her aunt's cooperation," Luke said with a
hint of depth in his eyes.
He did not want to scheme against Luca, but her uncooperative attitude was making it
difficult for him to act in the future.

If Luca cooperated, he could quickly gather more information about Island of Despair and
rescue her.
"The Rayne family? That's a good idea! But don't trouble Old Man Rayne. I think Luca's
aunt can help," Jack agreed to involve Wanda, but he thought it would be best not to
involve Old Man Rayne.
His health was in poor condition, and getting him worried about Luca might make things
worse.
"Agreed." Luke nodded.
"The check-up will take a while. Take a seat," Jack gestured to the sofa nearby.
Luke sat down and sent a message to Luca: [Mom is not in the ward. The nurse took her
for a check-up. I'm here waiting.]
Luca, who was outside the ward, received Luke's message and instinctively pulled her hat
down a little before sitting in the chair opposite.
She did not want Queenie to recognize her. It was to prevent her from getting more
distressed.
Inside the ward, Jack asked again, "So when Queenie finds out she's actually Bianca later
and stops being anxious, how are you going to explain it to Luca?"
"We can only say it was a misunderstanding. But Mom should still show suspicion and act
as if that suspicion is making her feel worse," answered Luke.
He did not want to scheme against Luca. However, it was frustrating to have his wife right
beside him yet she was only able to be with him using a different identity.
"Got it." Jack knew that Luke had thought it through and did not say anything more.
Luke picked up his phone and sent a message to Jason.
After a while, Jason replied: [Boss, there are reporters surrounding the office building now.
Some of our employees were interviewed when they came to work, but rest assured, I've
instructed them not to say anything. What's the plan from here?]
Luke replied with three words: [Hold your ground.]
Jason immediately responded: [Understood, Boss. When will you be coming to the office?
We have a meeting scheduled this morning.]
