Chapter 52 Alive!


    Luke Crawford was at the pharmacy buying four boxes of medications following the prescription given


    by themunity doctor earlier.


    This was his first experience buying medications for a woman.


    However, when he returned, he could not find Bianca anywhere his eyes could see.


    Late at night in the Crawford manor.


    nche Crawford was still wide awake. His petite figure was sitting on the ck leather couch.


    "Big Brother, aren’t we going to bed?" Rainie hugged her teddy bear while slumped on the side of the


    couch as she fuzzily asked.


    "Go to bed if you''re feeling sleepy. I''ll wait on my own." nche was feeling sleepy, but he forced


    himself to stay vignt, refusing to let his eyelids meet.


    He was determined to wait until their father was back and say what he wanted to say before going to


    bed.


    Rainie heard that her brother wanted to continue to wait. She felt that she should learn to be strong like


    her brother rather than feel sleepy so easily.


    Uncle Louis had said that someday, their father was going to get married and they would have a


    stepmother.


    Both her brother and herself only wanted an exnation. Where was their mother? Had she gone to


    heaven or was she in hiding and did not want to see them ever again...?


    The brother and sister continued to wait.


    Unfortunately, the children had limited energy. They fell asleep before the clock struck 10. Rainie was


    even drooling, smacking her lips together as she sucked on her thumb...


    Allison woke up from her sleep and checked downstairs to see the children fast asleep. She quickly got


    the maid to carefully carry Lanie and Rainie upstairs.


    When they were being carried, the two kids stirred slightly, but fortunately, they did not wake up.


    Luke did not stay out that night.

    However, it was veryte when he returned home. He went to check on Rainie and Lanie in their rooms


    before he went to shower and prepared to tuck in for the night.


    Luke hadid in bed for more than two hours and was still wide awake as he tossed in bed. His


    bedroom was dark. This was going to be a long night.


    When he turned in bed, a soft sigh was heard in his bedroom.


    With a headache, Luke half sat up. He lowered his head to see that his son had suddenly appeared on


    his bed.


    "Daddy, Uncle Louis said that what you''re experiencing now is called having sleepless nights alone..."


    Luke raised his brows and rested both hands behind his head. With his


    eyes closed, he said, "What does a kid know about sleepless nights alone."


    "I know. That''s why I came to sleep with you. We can share a pillow. That way, you will not feel lonely


    and have difficulty sleeping," the boy said as he squeezed over to his cold father. He cajoled Luke and


    said, "Daddy, I have a question for you..."


    It was rare that Luke felt patient today. He indicated for his son to continue.


    "Daddy, is my mother still alive?" the boy carefully asked. Ever since he knew that there was such a


    thing as a mother, he knew that the topic was something off-limits.


    "Alive."


    After some time, the man answered half awake.


    nche’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. ''What? Our mother is still alive!’
