Chapter 48 Bianca’s Man Radiates strength!


    After all that rubbing and friction, the woman''s fair soft foot felt scalded by the burning heat of the man''s


    large hand...


    Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    She did not know when Luke let go of her foot. All she remembered was a pain from her lower


    abdomen that came in waves. Eventually, there was a thinyer of sweat over her forehead...


    The dizziness from the wine and the cramps made her curl up on therge, soft, and warm bed. Before


    she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.


    Every so often, Luke woulde to rest in this suite here at this hotel.


    The hotel belonged to T Corporation.


    From the day he officially returned to the Crawfords and began work at T Corporation, this suite had


    belonged to him. Unrted persons were usually not allowed toe even close to this ce.


    After she fell asleep, he adjusted the air-conditioning temperature and carefully covered her with the


    nkets.


    By the time Bianca woke up, it was already dark outside.


    She looked around the unfamiliar hotel room and took a second to react before she finally remembered


    what had happened.


    She propped herself up, certain that she was sober now. There was still a slight dizziness and


    headache, though.


    Her phone was right next to her, so she grabbed it.


    There was a text from Sue Carter.


    Tm at thepany now. The head asked where’d you gone and why you didn''te back. I told her


    that Jason Doyle had assigned you ast- minute assignment and that you wouldn''t be able to make it


    back today.” Sue had sent that message at half-past four.


    Bianca blinked.


    Bianca and Sue were both T Corporation employees, and Sue should have seen the way their boss


    treated her in that room. Bianca figured that Sue should have guessed where she had gone too.


    Was that why Sue lied for her? She did it to cover up another fact that would inevitably get tongues


    wagging.


    Bianca did not know to exin, so she simply replied with, ‘Thank you, Sue." 1


    "Please don’t be polite with me, just remember to throw me a bone once you be thedy boss...


    I''ll be counting on you, sis..." Sue replied instantly, teasing her.


    Bianca paused for a moment before replying, "I know my limits, and I''ll keep them." 1


    "What limits? Are you stupid? I don’t care, I''ll be counting on you anyway," Sue responded, frustrated


    by Bianca''s cluelessness.


    Bianca''s eyes were filled with sorrow and worry. Who should she count on when Luke grew tired of her


    and abandoned her in the rain...?


    Just as she was chewing her nails and wondering how to pry the suite door open, a warm touch


    suddenly came up to her from behind. She turned around in shock and met Luke''s sharp appraising


    gaze.


    "I''ll send you home." With that, Luke pressed his index finger to the fingerprint scanner and opened the


    door.


    The two of them walked out of the room, one after the other.


    She took the lead in a mild panic, while the man followed behind her.


    It seemed that Luke was the only one staying on this floor of the hotel. It was unnaturally quiet, with not


    even an attendant in sight. Finally, they went downstairs and the atmosphere turned to the usual


    rowdiness of a hotel.


    As they walked, everyone they passed bowed and greeted the boss.


    Bianca quickened her footsteps, putting a huge distance between the two of them. Even so, she could


    not avoid others'' curious gazes. When she wanted to hail a cab, his private ride stopped in front of her.


    A cab drove toward her and came to a stop.


    Bianca opened the door and immediately got in.


    The next moment, though, the man had gotten out of his car and grabbed her wrist, pulling her out of


    the cab. He then opened the backseat door of his own car and stuffed her inside before politely turning


    around and apologizing to the cabbie for her. Finally, he got into the car and personally drove her


    home.


    Countless employees had witnessed just how handsomely and fluidly he hadpleted that entire


    series of actions.


    Bianca wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it.


    She was just a lowly employee, a perfectly average woman, but the boss was treating her like this. To


    everyone else, that could only mean one thing: she must be "craftily” "ying hard-to-get" with the


    boss, purposely" seducing" the boss to give her "preferential treatment".


    Those nasty usations were going to nail her to the cross.


    She was going to be crucified alone.


    The ck Land Rover drove through half the city before reaching the new neighborhood she was


    staying in. 1


    On the way back, Bianca''s stomach started hurting again, and by the end of it, she feltpletely


    weak and powerless. She never got carsick, but the world spun around her when she got out of the car,


    her knees threatening to give way.


    "Be careful." Luke had already gotten out of the car, hisrge hand naturally supporting her shoulder.


    Bianca subtly evaded his touch and turned around, saying, "Have a safe trip, Mr. Crawford. Thank you


    for sending me home, and I''m very sorry for spilling the wine on your pants earlier today."


    Her current neighborhood was much nicer than the previous one, but its location was not as


    convenient. That made the rent much cheaper.


    On the other hand, her new ce had many tangible benefits, one of which was amunity hospital


    right outside the door.


    "Go see the doctor, or else I''ll worry." Luke did not use force on her right here on the main street.


    Instead, he stood a meter away from here and stared at her.


    Bianca looked up. She was standing on the tactile path, while he stood on the left of the car, which was


    stopped by the curb. The night lights shone and flickered around his body, as though this enormous city


    only existed to highlight his brilliance.


    She just nced at him before she shook her head and said, it’s alright. I know what my body''s like."


    Luke took out his phone and dialed a number, his expression dark as he said, "Call Dr. Joyce over. The


    address is..."


    "No!" Before Luke could finish that sentence, Bianca tried to grab his phone.


    As she tried to take it from him, though, he just caught her easily, holding her tightly. Her slender wrist


    was fair and smooth, the faint green of the veins ahead reflecting into his eyes.


    "Psych." Luke put down hisrge hand which was holding the phone. When he looked down at her, his


    gaze turned really gentle.


    Her face pale, Bianca looked at the phone he was holding. It was true; nothing on the screen said he


    was on a call. He had not really dialed the number at all.


    He would if she did not go to themunity hospital, though.


    Bianca especially did not want Dr. Joyce to stop by again. The first time she met Dr. Joyce, it was


    because she was drugged with an aphrodisiac, and the second time was at home because she started


    bleeding halfway through an intense love-making session with him. 2


    Each time was more embarrassing than thest.


    This time, she had suddenly felt a sinking pain in her lower abdomen when she was in the car. She did


    know why; maybe it was an after-effect from the aphrodisiac, or maybe it was because she had taken


    red wine during her period.


    Perhaps it was a good idea to go see themunity doctor.


    Bianca pulled her wrist away from the man''srge hand. "I can go by myself, thanks."


    With that, she turned around and walked toward the hospital.


    It was only twenty meters away from the street.


    Bianca reached the doors.


    Luke was right behind her, following her into themunity hospital dressed to the nines. It was quite


    the rare sight, and the prettydy at the reception was stunned for a second, drooling at him.


    Bianca said awkwardly, Tm here for the gynae..."


    The prettydy finally reacted, and she was even more nervous than the patient when she keyed in


    Bianca''s request. She even had to retype certain words several times on the keyboard before she


    could get it right.


    As for the man who was making her so nervous, he was sitting at the waiting area with his long legs


    crossed. He looked just like a calm husband who was patiently staying with his wife until she received


    her examination results.


    The man''s stern expression and fixed gaze said it all. He only looked at his wife and no one else, so


    everyone could tell at a nce that he was a good man and an even better husband.


    Bianca took her number and sat down, waiting for her turn.


    As soon as she took her seat, a woman poked her and nced at the man behind her, the man with


    eyes only for his wife. There was jealousy in her voice as she said, "Where did you find that man? I bet


    your nightlife has been great after marriage... Tsk-tsk, your man simply radiates strength!"
