Chapter 87 Luke Came Onto Her Doorsteps Late At Night ’You can’t pick up the phone the way you are now." Allison did not
need to look to guess who was calling.
Blanca lowered her head as her tears continued to flow out.
'Come on, wipe your tears and follow me." Allison could not say anything comforting. She took out tissues and handed them to
Bianca as if it was the best thing she could do.
Bianca rejected the two tissues Allison was giving her. She took another deep breath, wiped the tears from her face, and walked
into the hospital.
A sad person who kept crying while they walked in the hospital would attract a lot of people's attention, but they would not stare
because sad people were aplenty in a place like that.
The elevators in the hospital were not busy in the afternoon.
Soon, Bianca arrived at the floor where her dad was hospitalized.
'I need to go to the bathroom."
She knew she had to take into account her dad's feelings and not let him see her embarrassed and sad.
Allison stood silently at the bathroom door, waiting.
Bianca went in, washed her face with cold water, then looked at her crying red-eyed self in the mirror with a dull expression. Her
brows were slightly furrowed. She was unable to relax.
When Bianca came out, Allison reminded her. "If you don't want your father's condition to get worse, you have to be a little
happier."
Bianca looked up at that woman. She was really tempted to ask, 'Please, tell me, how am I supposed to be happier?'
Bianca walked past Allison and went to the ward.
The nurse saw the patient's daughter coming and went out.
Allison behind his daughter, his whole face fell.
’Dad," Bianca called out.
Kevin’s expression as he stared at Allison seemed to hold one truth. It was indeed a look of a man's hatred for his ex-wife.
The truth was, Bianca understood that if Allison dared to tell her that, it meant that the matter was probably an unchangeable
fact.
'I came here to tell you something," Allison took the initiative and said to Kevin, "I originally never intended to disturb both of you
for the rest of my life, but by chance, I met Bea. Bea is very sensible and I like her very much.
I was even more excited when I accidentally learned that her surname is Rayne."
As she said that, Allison came over and put her arms around Bianca's shoulders, giving a fake smile. "I didn't expect my
daughter to have grown so much. Since we’ve met, I suppose it’s just the fate of our motherdaughter bond. Since you're not well
now and the old man was just driven back from Japan, Bea is too burdened. I think that it’s okay for Bea to have a mother like
me for the time being."
Bianca did not break away from Allison, fearing that Dad would see the flaw in the story.
Kevin looked back and forth between Allison and Bianca.
Allison's sudden want to acknowledge her daughter puzzled him deeply. However, if his daughter did not object, that matter was
his daughter's business. As her dad, he would not use his own morals to restrain his daughter.
" Al right, so you two have a chat. I'll go out and wait." Allison's hand that she had put around Bianca patted Bianca's shoulder as
a warning.
'Don't say the wrong thing.’
When only two of them were left in the ward, Kevin hesitated for a while before speaking weakly, "Bea, come here, I want to ask
you something..."
'Dad, don't say anything." Bianca did not want to be forced to recall the pain of being abandoned since childhood through her
dad’s words.
At that moment, all she wanted to do was just stay quiet.
She never thought that knowing who her biological mother was was important until that day.
As for now, the problem was not about acknowledging her mother or not.
"Alright. You can think things through by yourself first. I’ll keep quiet." Kevin did not understand what was happening. He even
thought that his daughter was stunned for a while because she could not accept the truth of being found by her mother yet.
Bianca lowered her head and remained silent for a long, long time.
"It's your choice to choose whether to acknowledge this mother of yours... I think that it’s good that when I’m no longer in this
world, at least you’ll still have a relative here with you." Kevin did not hold back from what he wanted to say.
He hoped that his daughter was able to see the pros and cons clearly.
Bianca finally reacted. She shook her head, raised her eyes, and asked, ’ Back then, the neighbors said that my mother gave
birth to me and went off with a rich man. Grandpa told me the same thing before. So why does she have a son who’s four years
older than me?” 4
After thinking for a long time, she finally found a clue from the mess that was her mind.
However, she did not expect to see the look on Kevin's face. Kevin had a look that showed he knew the whole story well. "About
this, I knew that...
"When your mother was with me back then, she wasn't an unmarried woman. In fact, she had been hurt by others before and
gave birth to a child. However, the father did not take responsibility for the child...
"Later, I learned that the man who hurt your mother was a rich and powerful businessman. Your mother gave him a son. 3
"I just thought that an illegitimate child of a wealthy family would be acknowledged by the family sooner or later. Dad was also
worried that your mother would return to that beast because of that son.”
Toward the end, Kevin did not say anything.
The answer was obvious. All the bad things he expected eventually happened.
The illegitimate son was taken back to his wealthy family, and the child's mother who also wanted that life left the ordinary man
who healed her wounds and returned to the rich man without hesitation.
Bianca did not know when she got back.
She was like a walking corpse who had lost her soul and was currently unconscious. She was cooking dinner for Grandpa and
Nina.
Nina looked at Bianca while she spooned a scoop of rice into her mouth. She probed, "Did you lose your soul?"
"Nah. You should eat more." Bianca quickly became normal and smiled reluctantly.
"Woah, don't smile. You look weirder that way than if you were crying." Nina concluded that Bianca had something on her mind.
It felt even more serious after she returned in the afternoon.
Since the two did not want to worry Grandpa, they did not talk much at the dinner table.
Finally, after finishing the meal, Bianca went to wash the dishes. Her head was lowered the whole time.
Nina was beside her. She frowned and said, "You look like you just cried..."
"My dad's condition hasn't gotten better yet." Bianca found an excuse to dodge her from prodding about why she cried.
"Is it really because of that?" Nina did not believe it.
Bianca was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and end up confiding in Nina. She was very scared that she
would tell her about those unspeakable things. After she finished washing the bowl, she gritted her teeth and bid Nina farewell.
Nina would officially move back home from that night onward.
Grandpa sat on a rocking chair on the balcony, playing with the bird.
Nina had bought a bird from who knew where in the afternoon and hung the birdcage on the balcony.
Bianca tried to hold it back as much as she could, but in the end, she could no longer hold it. She closed the door to send Nina
out in the empty living room. Then, she leaned against the bathroom door and started crying.
Click.
The key was inserted into the keyhole and the door was opened.
A weary-looking man came in.
Luke was in his suit and leather shoes. It made him look mature and steady. His brows were furrowed and his face looked colder
than usual. In his hands were his car keys as well as the house key that Nina took.
With both of them face to face, the tears in Bianca's eyes started flowing in panic again.
