Chapter 766 His Sideburns Are Graying


    Bianca''s vision was bing blurry. She tried to curl up as much as possible, but her lower abdomen


    still hurt.


    The pain was bing more and more intense. Her tears were threatening to fall.


    Bianca felt that she was bing more and more affectatious.


    She used to grit her teeth and bear with it even when she was at her lowest point. Ever since Luke


    returned, her tears fell a lot more easily. She would find herself crying every few days.


    Her womb used to be a lot healthier. She had never experienced period pains.


    She attributed the decline in her health to her depression in response to Luke''s disappearance while


    she was pregnant with Tommy. She could not snap out of her despair, and she lost a lot of blood when


    she delivered the baby.


    Ever since then, her health declined, and her period pains would cause her much agony.


    Even so, Bianca did not regret giving birth to that precocious child.


    The child brought hope to her life. He was the proof that Luke and Bianca had once loved each other.


    Bianca could smell the stink of blood in the air. She wanted to get off the bed to find a pad in the


    bathroom, but she was unable to move because of the intense pain.


    Slick blood flowed from between her legs and stained the sky-blue bed sheets under her.


    Her body felt colder and colder, and her head was getting dizzy...


    In the living room, Luke had just poured a ss of warm water for Bianca when he received a phone


    call from Allison.


    His mother sounded stern but at the same time pleading. "Have you sent that troublesome woman


    home, Luke? Maxine has just arrived in A City, and she''s not familiar with the ce. How about you


    bring her around?"


    Luke tried to hold his temper down as he replied impatiently, "I''m very busy, Mother. I don''t have time to


    waste on irrelevant people. Don''t we have a driver at home if she really wants to go around town? He''s


    very familiar with the roads of A City, and he can be her tour guide."


    He would really like to pry open his mother''s brain to see what was inside.


    He and Bianca were already legally married for more than two years. His mother might not recognize


    the marriage, but she would not be able to ignore Luke''s affection toward Bianca.


    Even so, she never stopped trying to match her son with other women.


    He would not have been so kind to Allison if not that she was his mother.


    Luke could not understand why his mother was so resentful about Bianca''s presence.


    To be frank, Bianca was beautiful, understanding, knowledgeable, and respected her elders. She might


    asionally have tempers, but she was a perfect wife when all things were considered. Even Old


    Master Crawford had noints about her, so why would his mother keep on dismissing her?


    Was it because of her grudge against Queenie in her younger days?


    Luke narrowed his eyes coldly. If his mother insisted on being stubborn, then he would not have to be


    kind to her!


    In the bedroom.


    Because of the pain, Bianca''s palms were damp with cold sweat. She curled up like a shrimp, and


    when she rolled over, she nearly fell off the bed.


    A pair of strong arms caught her in time and hugged her tight in his embrace.


    Bianca thought that her lower abdomen was going to explode. The man behind her was hugging her


    too tightly.

    She could not take the pain anymore. "It hurts..." she moaned weakly.


    Luke''s hand felt something wet.


    He was visibly stunned when he saw the patch of redness.


    Knowing that it was her period, he gently ced her on the bed, ignoring the fact that the blood had


    dirtied his hands.


    Bianca felt embarrassed, as though she was a child who had wet her bed.


    His gaze on her was not mocking at all. Instead, it was filled with care. She was not sure how to feel


    about that.


    Luke found loose-fitting pajamas and underwear in the room. Then, he carried her into the bathroom


    and gently bathed her with warm water. He reced her pad, changed her clothes, and returned her to


    the bedroom. He ced her on the bed and tucked her in.


    When Bianca opened her eyes, she saw Luke''s taut lower jaw and worried gaze.


    Her eyes began to blur with tears when she thought of how Luke had gently cleansed her in the


    bathroom without showing any hint of disgust. 1


    Luke got the caretaker to make some ginger tea. He fed her the tea, took off his coat, andid down


    next to her.


    Bianca''s lower abdomen felt a lot better after drinking the tea, though her expression toward Luke


    remained unfriendly.


    Luke hugged her gently. "Does it still hurt?" He asked.


    Bianca''s body was slightly stiff as Luke hugged her.


    She was not used to such care from Luke after giving him the silent treatment for so long. Even so, she


    felt a twinge in her nose.


    She recalled what Luke did to her, and her expression instantly sank. "It''s none of your business. I don''t


    need you to pretend that you care!"


    Luke narrowed his gaze. He forced her to look at him and touched the tip of her nose with his. "Do you


    hate me so much that you don''t even want to look me in the eye?"


    Bianca instantly became defensive. Her demeanor was as prickly as a porcupine. "I won''t trust you


    ever again, you liar!" i


    Luke kissed her and sighed gently. "I''m truly sorry, Bea. I didn''t know that the incident would hurt you


    so much. If I had known about it, I wouldn''t have done it to you. I''ve been reflecting on my mistake, and


    I realize that you''ve been suffering because I''ve been blind to my surroundings. You''re the perfect one


    for me, and I don''t want to let you go. Please tell me honestly, don''t you want to be with me anymore?"


    Bianca remained silent. As her gaze inadvertently fell on his hair, she was surprised to see several gray


    hairs on his sideburns...


    She reached out to touch his hair, plucked one of them, and showed it to him. "Your hair is graying..."


    Luke smiled gently. He nced at the gray hair, then back at Bianca''s eyes. "Have I grown oldtely? I


    know that I''m wrong, my wife. You can punish me however you want. Please, don''t be angry at me..."


    The tenderness of Luke''s gaze almost made Bianca melt, but she thought of what he had done to her...


    Her hands became ws, and her long fingernails dug into Luke''s muscr back. The deep gashes


    nearly made Luke moan in pain!
