Chapter 785 An Exceptionally Long Night


    Susan turned her head and saw the ring scratches on her son’s handsome cheek.


    A cloud of haze shed through her eyes!


    Susan positioned Louis behind her and looked at Allison condescendingly. Her gaze was like a sharp


    arrow drenched with venom as she said, "Allison, I heard that your son was injured and as the eldest


    daughter-inw of the Crawford family, I brought Louis here to visit Luke. I didn''t expect that you''d


    scratch my son! I''ll forgive you this time considering what you''re going through, but let me warn you,


    keep to yourne. Otherwise, I’ll make sure that you’ll regret it!"


    Allison was well aware that Susan was a tough woman and she had a strong family background, so


    now that she was angry, Allison knew to back off.


    Allison nced at the scratches on Louis’ face and then at her sharp nails. She stepped aside knowing


    that she had lost.


    Old Master Crawford was so angry that he could not speak.


    His grandson was in the operating room. It was still uncertain whether he would live or die. Now, his


    other grandson had been scratched by Allison.


    The cane in his hand trembled with anger.


    However, in the end, Old Master Crawford sighed and weakly said to Susan, "Susan, you should take


    Louis to see the doctor. It won’t be good if the injury gets inmed and leaves a scar."


    Susan nodded slightly and said softly to Old Master Crawford, "Okay, I’ll take Louis to the doctor. If


    there''s anything, call me."


    After Susan said that, she grabbed Louis by the arm and was about to leave.


    However, Louis did not want to leave. "Mom, I''m a man. The wound on my face is nothing. It won’t kill


    me, don’t worry about it. I want to wait until Luke wakes up..."


    Susan red at him fiercely and said, "There are so many people here, it doesn''t matter if you''re here


    or not. Besides, you kind-heartedly came to visit him but his mother so viciously hurt you and mes


    her son’s injury on you. There''s no point for us to stay here. Follow me immediately.


    Otherwise, I don’t mind using coercive means!"


    Louis saw that his mother was burning with rage and knew that she was in a bad mood now, so he


    could only do as she said.


    When he passed by Bianca, Louis noticed that she was squatting at the entrance of the operating


    room, looking like a lonely and sad little thing.


    He could not help but feel a pain in his heart as he thought of the situation that Luke was in.


    Louis broke free from Susan''s restraint and walked to Bianca. He whispered, "Sister-inw, now that


    Luke is in surgery and it''s uncertain when he’ll recover, you must take care of yourself and don’t let


    yourself fall ill too. You also know that I''m nothing but an average Joe. Since Luke won''t be around, the


    burden of T Corporation has fallen on you. Take it easy


    Bianca kept silent the entire time, her delicate and pale face was expressionless.


    However, the woman''s straight shoulders suddenly copsed as though she was touched by his words.


    Louis wanted tofort her more, but he did not know what else to say.


    For him, Luke was the closest person to him in his life and his beloved elder brother. Although the two


    of them had different mothers who were always at each other’s throats, their rtionship was as thick


    as blood. It was not affected by their mothers at all.


    He also hoped that Luke could recover as soon as possible.


    Soon, it waste at night, but the lights in the operating room were still on.


    Old Master Crawford was in poor health and staying up until midnight was his limit. Bianca asked the


    bodyguard and the driver to forcibly send Old


    Master Crawford home.


    Susan forcibly took Louis back.


    Allison, who had shed a few tears when she first came, remained seated on the chair in the corridor


    and used her phone to browse through shopping sites. When it gotte, she could not hold on


    anymore. She asked the nurse to find her a VIP resting room and went straight to sleep.


    In the end, Bianca was the only one still waiting at the entrance of the operating room.


    Jason went outside and bought two takeaways, one for himself and the other for Bianca.


    However, Bianca did not have any appetite to eat, so she shook her head and turned Jason down.


    Mr. Doyle felt helpless. He ced the takeaway in front of Bianca and said, "Madam, you''re human too.


    You can''t keep going on like this. You should eat some food so that you''ll have the stamina to go on.


    Otherwise, the boss will feel distressed when he wakes up and sees you like this. Didn’t Second Young


    Master say that the burden of T Corporation has fallen on you? If you go down too, no one in the


    company will be able to stand up to the task..."


    Bianca''s stiff face looked up at Jason, her lips trembling as she said, "Okay, I’ll eat."

    She took the box of takeaway from Jason and sat down on a chair beside her. She gobbled it down


    without even looking at the food in front of her. She barely chewed; she was just eating mechanically,


    swallowing even the tears from her eyes.


    Luke had always been her support, but now that he was gone, she seemed to have lost her backbone.


    She could not go on like this. She had promised him to fight by his side, instead of being someone who


    relied on him.


    Now that he was down, she had to be strong.


    At midnight, Johann, who was in a white coat, hurriedly rushed over.


    Bianca felt relieved the moment she saw him.


    Johann did not have the time to talk to her and only gave her a ''rest assured'' gesture before he


    hurriedly entered the operating room.


    After more than three hours, Luke was brought to a spacious intensive care unit after the operation.


    The ward had a floor-to-ceiling window, and the white curtains were closed. The dizzying yellow light


    was a little dazzling.


    Bianca wore a sterile suit and was holding Luke''s hand. Her eyes were locked on his handsome


    sleeping face.


    She kept rubbing his cold hands to warm them up.


    Luke, who had undergone a serious operation, looked weak and had his eyes tightly shut. Even though


    he was unconscious, he was just as charming. However, he seemed to be frowning, as if he was


    worried about an unsolved problem.


    His beard shadow gradually emerged, and when she stroked it, it felt a little prickly.


    Bianca looked at him, feeling like she was suffocating.


    A thin quilt was over his body, which covered the bandage that was wrapped around his chest and the


    wound on his body. His forehead was also wrapped with bandages that had bloodstains.


    Luke had unexpectedly entered her life and changed it, but now, he was lying here, dying. This burden


    was one that she could not bear.


    Johann had said that Luke would likely wake up at dawn. Bianca felt that it was an exceptionally long


    night...
