Chapter 809 Impending Danger
6:30 p.m.
Luke Crawford originally wanted to work late into the night, but because of his grandfather's words today, he felt
uncomfortable mentally and left work early.
He previously thought that his father had a failed marriage and failed to deal with the relationship between the
elders and his mother until his death, causing the family to turn into a mess. Grandpa must hate the immoral act of
abandoning one's wife more than anyone else.
However, he vastly underestimated his grandfather's ruthless nature as a businessman.
He only had his own best interests at heart. He would ultimately be inhumane to achieve his goal.
Perhaps his father, Zachary, inherited the least genes from his grandfather's side.
It was peak hour. There was heavy traffic on all roads. Luke drove the plainest BMW he had, and instead of feeling
relaxed like his usual self, he was anxious.
For some reason, his right eyelid had been twitching frequently the entire day. He had a hunch that something bad
was about to happen.
It’s said that a woman's sixth sense is incredibly accurate, but a man's intuition is sometimes comparable to a
woman's sixth sense.
Under normal circumstances, Luke was a patient man, whether it be work or life. When driving, he would always be
completely focused on the road. Rarely would he feel anxious and impatient. At this moment, however, he was
tempted to drive his car directly through the jam and immediately get to Bianca.
He left work early today and kept it a secret from Bianca, wanting to give her a surprise. He had been really busy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith work lately. He sometimes even slept in his office. He barely had any time to accompany her.
Seeing that the traffic was still bad, Luke could not help but furiously honk.
His behavior drew the attention of many drivers and passersby.
However, Luke did not care at all. 'Damn it, when will this stupid traffic clear up?!’ he thought to himself.
While he was waiting restlessly, his phone rang. It was from Bianca.
The woman's characteristic gentle voice was heard. "Luke, you're still busy, right? Mom's depression seems to have
returned. She wants to see our children very much, so I'm on my way to Grandma's house with them right now. Just
thought I should let you know so you won't worry."
Luke was shocked and clenched his phone tightly. "Bea, where are you and the children now? Did you go out with
the bodyguards?"
Bianca smiled lightly. "Yes, I did. Don’t worry, Luke! I'm extra careful these days whenever I go out. I’ll always be
accompanied by bodyguards when I'm outside. Right now, they're sitting in front while the kids and I are in the
backseat. The traffic is a bit bad, though. I might only reach around eight..."
Luke still felt a little uneasy. "Send me your location now. I'll follow your car and join you to go visit Mom." "Okay."
Bianca's pale, slender finger tapped on the screen. She opened her WhatsApp and sent her location to Luke.
She was near Westin Hotel.
Luke's stern eyes flashed upon seeing the location. He rolled down the car window and looked in that direction.
He could see from afar the dazzling neon sign of Westin Hotel.
Bianca was not too far away from where he was. Maybe about a mile away. It was just that they were separated by
so much busy traffic, so he had no idea how long they would have to wait.
He immediately called Bianca back. "Bea, I’m now less than a mile away from you. If your car leaves first, wait for
me at Forest Park's east gate. It's less congested over there. I’ll follow you in my car to visit Mom." "Got it, Luke. The
traffic's very heavy now, so be careful, okay? I'll wait for you there at Forest Park," Bianca warmly replied.
"Mm."
Luke still felt uneasy even after hanging up the call.
For some reason, he constantly felt like he was being watched. He had no idea why he was feeling like this, but it
felt like the Grim Reaper was staring at him, his wife, and his kids at all times. It sent chills down his spine.
Whenever he inspected his surroundings to see who was looking, he could never find anyone.
It made Luke feel like he was losing control.
He looked at the busy traffic and closed his eyes for a second. Once the traffic eased up a bit, he would be able to
meet with his wife and son. They should not be in any danger. Hopefully, he was just being paranoid.
On the other end, in the opposite direction about a mile away from Luke, Bianca and three of their children were
trapped in a black car.
Bianca had just hung up the phone.
Due to her poor health, Queenie Zeigler had been losing her appetite for some time. Plus she was overly worried
about her own affairs. It previously took her quite some effort to suppress her depression but it had reared its ugly
head once more. She had been hospitalized twice, making Bianca extremely worried.
The other day, due to T Corporation’s tense situation, Luke was afraid that they would encounter misfortune when
they went out. Hence, he restricted them from going out. It made her really anxious, but she continued to visit her
mother secretly.

The situation was now much better. Plus, her mother wanted to see her three smart and cute grandchildren, so
Bianca decided to take them out to meet their grandmother, which was why she called Luke earlier to explain the
situation.
In the car, little Tommy rubbed his chubby belly and acted all spoiled."
Mommy, I'm hungry, my little belly is becoming flat..." "Hang in there, baby. Let me see if there are any snacks left
in the bag to fill up your tummy."
Bianca coaxed her little son and then began to rummage her bag for snacks.
There was nothing but a few packaged sandwich cookies. Bianca handed the snacks to Tommy. "Baby, we'll have
dinner when we reach Grandma's house, so just hang in there for now, okay?"
Tommy gladly took the sandwich cookies and quickly devoured them." Yum... These cookies taste so good. But I
want Grandma's honey roast chicken and fried mushrooms..."
Rainie quietly sat in the backseat, playing with the bun on her head. She was wearing a white princess dress.
Noticing her little brother's excitement over food, she glanced at his round little belly with contempt...
"You little rascal. All you ever know is eat, eat, eat. You're gonna turn into a round ball if you keep eating like this!
Mommy, Big Brother and I are so thin, but why do we have a fat little brother? Will he turn into a big fat man if he
keeps eating like this?"
Bianca could not help but pat her daughter's little head. "Silly girl, you and your big brother were chubby too when
you two were little. You grew up and became thin like a stick. Little Tommy will be thin just like you when he’s your
age now.’’
Rainie cooed, somewhat incredulously, "Really, Mommy...?"
Lanie looked at the loving and warm scene of his mother and siblings. He smiled without saying a word.
At this time, the mother and her children were immersed in joy. They had no clue about the impending danger that
was about to befall them...
