Chapter 719 She Did Not Mention Anything To Luke
Bianca was riddled with guilt and blamed herself for what was happening while Wanda refused to accept it.
Wanda, who had always been calm and restrained, suddenly covered her eyes and burst into tears. "God, are you
trying to kill everyone in the Rayne family? Why are you making all of us sick? My brother passed away from
cancer, I have cancer, and now even my dad has brain tumors. Why are you doing this to our family?!"
Bianca felt like she had lost all her strength.
Wanda's ramblings made her heart sink as if someone had stabbed through her heart with a chisel. It hurt so much
that she felt like she was about to go mad.
All she could do was hug Wanda, who was on the verge of collapse. She kept comforting her, saying, "Aunt Wanda,
everything will be fine. Trust me, okay? No matter what, I'll always be by your side..."
Luke was the first to come back to his senses. He furrowed his brows and asked Johann in a serious tone, "Based on
Old Master Rayne's current situation, what are the chances that he can be cured?"
When he thought about Old Master Rayne's condition, Johann frowned and told Luke the truth, 'The craniotomy
itself is a high-risk surgery. Old Master Rayne is old and has a severe decline in his physical functions as well as a
poor tolerance. Moreover, he had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. If he doesn’t undergo surgery, his life will be in
danger as his meningioma would put pressure on the nerves linked to his vision and leg function. It may eventually
cause him to go blind and he won't be able to walk. Even his cardiopulmonary function will be severely impacted.
However, with the consent of Ms. Wanda, I performed a craniotomy on Old Master Rayne. I didn't go for a more
conservative option because it would not be as effective. As for whether the operation was a success, I have to wait

Rayne will live, but there will be certain sequelae. He may not be able to speak clearly and may even be paralyzed,
so you have to be mentally prepared for this..."
Bianca breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Old Master Rayne's life was not in danger. "As long as Grandpa
is alright, I'll take care of him even if he's paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life. Thank you, Johann. We appreciate
your hard work."
She knew that Johann was an excellent surgeon, but even he could not ensure that her Grandpa could go back to
normal. Even so, she was just glad that he was safe and sound.
Although Johann had downplayed Grandpa's condition, she could tell that it was serious.
She understood the horror of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. The grandfather of her colleague had suffered from
such a disease and passed away within a few hours.
Old Master Rayne's condition was more complicated. He not only had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage but also brain
tumors.
If he had been sent to the hospital slightly later, would she have been separated from her grandfather forever?
"You're welcome. Even if it weren't Old Master Rayne, I would've still done my best."
Johann smiled and shook his head. His gaze then fell on Luke, who was used to taking charge of everything.
"Although Old Master Rayne's tumors have been removed, we still have to monitor his condition closely for the next
72 hours in the ICU."
Luke's expression became solemn as he said, "We'll go with your arrangement."
Bianca asked Johann impatiently, "Dr. Stiles, can I go in and visit my grandpa now?"
Johann nodded and replied, "You can go in, but he's still weak. Only one visitor at a time." 1
Bianca and Wanda looked at each other. Bianca said softly to Aunt Wanda, "Aunt Wanda, you’ve been waiting
outside for so long. You must be tired. Besides, you're still sick. I don’t want to see you collapse too. Let me go in
and visit Grandpa. You should head back and have a good rest, okay?"
Wanda bit her lip gently.
She wanted to go in, but before she could do so, Bianca went inside with a nurse.
Wanda had no choice but to back down, knowing that her sickly body was at its limit. Hence, she let Bianca be.
"Aunt Wanda."
Luke held on to Wanda, whose frail body was struggling to hold itself up. His gaze fell on her pale face and anger
flashed through his eyes as he said, "Grandpa Rayne is hospitalized but no one from the Crawford family came to
visit?"
He was not aware of Bianca's relationship with the Crawford family during the two years that he was absent from A
City. He thought that she might still be at odds with his mother.
However, Old Master Crawford and Louis should be on her side. Even so, he did not see a single member from the
Crawford family in the hospital. He could not help but be furious.
Wanda smiled bitterly and answered, "This is the Rayne family's matter and we're not used to troubling outsiders.
Besides, Old Master Crawford is getting old. If he hears about my dad, he might be worried. His health is not very
good and it's best not to trouble him. As for Mrs. Crawford, let's not talk about it... Fortunately, Dad is no longer in
critical condition. After this, we'll work on his recovery, and hopefully, he'll get better."
When Luke was not around, the relationship between Bianca and the Crawford family had been a little stiff. Her so-
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcalled mother-in-law, Allison Tanner, had given her an especially hard time. If it were not for their three children,
she would have kicked Bianca out.
Susan Armstrong was not any better. To fight for the family fortune, she paid someone off to secretly inject her with
aborticide when she was delivering the baby...
Therefore, Wanda would choose to handle most things on her own and avoided asking for favors from the Crawford
family to ensure that they would have nothing on her.
Of course, Wanda did not mention anything to Luke there and then.
She knew that Luke was a smart man who would be able to find out about all these even if she kept her mouth shut.
Wanda's words made Luke's dark-brown eyes flash with a suffocating cold gaze.
"Aunt Wanda, don't worry. I'll make sure that Bianca gets double of all that the Crawford family owes her. I'll find the
best doctor to treat your illness, and I believe you’ll heal one day."
It seemed that he had to face the Crawford family as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he would never know how much Bianca had suffered in the Crawford family during the time he was
gone!
Wanda smiled knowingly.
She was well aware of her condition. She was grateful just to be alive and did not expect to return to normal.
However, she was very happy that Bianca had brought Luke back. He would be able to back her up and she would
never be bullied by others again.
This was the only thing that Wanda felt relieved about.
