Chapter 824 Three Little Heads Poked Through the Door
Bianca felt a little guilty when she saw a faint handprint on Luke's face.
She remembered that she had landed a vicious slap on his cheek when she could not control her emotions. She
could feel that her palm was still stinging.
Bianca tenderly caressed his face and said hoarsely, "Does your face still hurt, Luke?"
She regretted slapping him.
However, she could not help but feel aggrieved that he had come so late.
She could not imagine what would happen to her and the children if Luke had arrived another second later.
The man's gaze wavered slightly. He placed his hands on her tender cheeks and stared straight into her eyes. "It
doesn't hurt at all. Not a bit." "You're lying!"
Bianca laughed with tears in her eyes, playfully tugged at his short hair, and pouted. "Don't you know how afraid I
was back then? I was afraid that I might not see you again, but I was even more afraid that something might
happen to our children. Don't you know, Luke, I'd rather die than see any harm come to our children..."
Luke lay down next to her and hugged her intimately. "I started searching for you the moment I knew that you were
in danger, but Kassy is a cunning woman. She's a trained assassin from the Island of Despair, and she barely leaves
any traces of her crimes. That was why it took so long to track you down. Fortunately, I arrived just in time. I might
not be able to forgive myself if I were too late."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man's body was warm, while the woman was slightly cool.
His nose was pressed against her, leaving no gap in between their bodies.
Bianca lay on his chest with a vacant expression. "No matter what you think of her, Kassy once saved your life after
all. She'll hate you for blinding and crippling her. It's all because of me, Luke. Sorry..." "That has nothing to do with
you, silly girl. The woman isn't as kind-hearted as you might think. She only saved me because she thought that I
could be useful to her. Moreover, many lives have been lost in her hands..."
Luke took her hand and gently massaged it, and his eyes flashed with some hostility. "She's unforgivable for
attempting to harm you. She should be punished for what she did, and she should be grateful that she is still alive."
Kassy must have plotted for a long time before she infiltrated into A City without a trace. The tragedy of The
Galleria had distracted him, which allowed Kassy to take the opportunity to carry out her almost-flawless plan.
Regarding the collapse of The Galleria, Luke guessed that Kassy must have had an accomplice, even though all the
evidence found at the ruins pointed to Kassy.
Why would she do so? Was she taking revenge on him?
If the woman had blown up a shopping mall just so that she could abduct his wife and children, it meant that she
was much crueler than he had imagined!
Luke knew that Kassy had always been obsessed with him, but he could not accept how fanatical and outrageous
her love was.
He did not expect that the woman would go to such extreme means!
Luke thought for a while before deciding to tell Bianca the truth. He realized that he needed to be honest with his
wife.
Bianca was stunned for a long time.
She did not expect that Kassy could be so depraved to kill hundreds of innocent lives just to win a man's heart. For a
while, she considered herself lucky to be able to come out of the ordeal alive.
Considering how cruel Kassy was and how much she hated Bianca, Bianca and the children would have been dead
if Luke had not come in time.
She considered herself blessed.
As she looked at his bloodshot eyes and the beard stubble on his chin, Ivy's words resounded in her ears. "Sir was
worried that you didn't wake up.
He stayed up all night to keep watch."
Those words had hit Bianca's soft spot.
She felt oddly at ease as she brushed her hand on Luke's beard stubble.
"You haven't rested, Luke. Take a nap, and I'll go and make breakfast in the kitchen."
Bianca tried to push herself off the bed.
Her gaze fell on a hand basin next to the bed. Several white towels were floating inside.
She felt that someone had been taking care of her while she was sleeping, but she did not expect that it was him.
Considering that he had been traveling a lot, he must be very tired by now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuke pulled her back into his arms and rested her body on his. "Take a nap with me, Bea."
Bianca could only comply. Her eyelashes quivered for a bit before she closed her eyes.
She opened her eyes when she heard that his breathing had become calm and even.
She sighed as she touched her bruised cheek. Then, she greedily took in Luke's handsome sleeping face and gently
pinched the incredibly smooth cheek.
That handsome face had brought her so much trouble. If she had her way, she would taxidermize him and keep
him safe so that she would be the only one who could appreciate him.
She was once again woken up by the sound of the door opening. Luke came into the bedroom carrying a tray.
The fragrance of the food spread throughout the entire room and whetted Bianca's appetite.
Bianca rubbed her eyes and looked at him. "When did you wake up? Why didn't I notice it?"
Luke placed the tray on the low table beside the bed.
Avocado toast, blanched prawns, truffle omelets, garden salad... they all looked delicious and healthy.
Bianca yawned and mumbled, "I'll brush my teeth before I eat. Right, Luke, are the children awake? I want to check
on them too."
Luke patted her head. "They’re already awake, and they're now eating in the dining hall. I told them that they
shouldn't disturb you because you're still sleeping. You haven't eaten for a day. Go and brush your teeth before you
eat."
Just as he finished speaking, they heard the door gently creak open.
Three heads popped into the room. The children were standing on tiptoes, trying to see what was inside...
