Chapter 138 He Picked Her Up and Pressed His Lips Onto Hers
"Two? That's fast! You guys have already given birth twice..." The child's mother looked at Bianca with shock. "You don't look like you've been pregnant before! I would've never guessed it! A mother of two!"
Bianca smiled awkwardly. 2
After chatting for a while and before leaving the town, Luke called his ex-classmate to talk between the two of them. 1
Luke looked very serious as he said something to his exclassmate. The ex-classmate who was carrying the child listened seriously, then nodded his head before nodding again.
On their way back to A City, Bianca did not ask him about anything.
In a daze, she slept in the car again.
When they were back in the city center, the road was stable again. Luke also drove slower because he was afraid that she would wake up. In the end, she slept all the way until they reached the apartment.
She was slowly woken up by her period cramps. 1
When Bianca opened her eyes, she forcefully took a few breaths. She pressed her lower abdomen with both of her hands while her face suddenly turned paler than ever. There was even a thin layer of sweat forming on her forehead.
When Luke, who was outside the car, turned out after finishing his cigarette, he saw her in excruciating pain.
"What's wrong? Are you in pain?" Luke opened the door and pulled her face over as he frowned.
Bianca could not think about anything and merely had her eyes shut while she nodded.
"Let's head upstairs and lie you down to rest." Luke did not waste another second or minute before he carried her out carefully.
Bianca did not let him carry her.
She wanted to walk by herself.
"Don't move, or I'll ask Jason and all the police to withdraw." Luke did not want to reason with her nor did he want to patiently talk to her. The simplest and fastest way to get results was to just use brute force.
Sure enough, she did not move.
Nothing was more important than finding Grandpa. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
She was just an ordinary citizen, an average Jane. Only powerful people like Luke Crawford had passes in doing certain things compared to ordinary people.
This was the reality of it. The cruel and powerful reality.
There was everything in the apartment, but Luke was helpless when facing a woman with period cramps. 1
Bianca was forced to lie on his big bed as she grasped at the blanket.
The long-legged Luke stood tall in the kitchen as he looked at the brand new kitchen utensils that had never been touched before. He was feeling helpless.
His phone rang.
It was a call from Jason.
"What's the situation?" Luke answered the call.
Jason did not dilly-dally and got straight to the point. 'There are two things. The first thing is that Ms. Rayne's grandfather is still not found. The police said that we can temporarily rule out the possibility of him being in a car accident or being harmed by someone since there haven't been any matching reports. As per your instructions, I've gotten through with the TV station and the missing person notice will be broadcasted this morning. Now we'll just have to wait if anyone calls for the missing person reward.
"The second thing is about the night that Ms. Rayne was drugged with sleeping pills. The person in charge of the entertainment venue has investigated it. The incident has something to do with Ms. Rayne's ex-boyfriend, Jean Langdon."
When Luke heard Jean's name, his face turned cold immediately. "Put him in jail!”
"I'll immediately arrange for the police to go over." Jason knew that Jean had offended the boss.
The neighborhood where Bianca was renting was in chaos. Some middle-aged ladies who saw Grandpa the last time he was met with hooligans were also concerned about whether they had found the old man yet.
When Jason was about to hang up, he suddenly heard his boss from the other side of the phone asking seriously, "Has your ex-wife ever had period cramps?"

Jason was stunned but told the truth. "The two of us are divorced because she thought I didn't care enough about her, so I suppose I'm not really sure about this matter."
Luke was about to hang up.
Jason saw Sue's car approaching the neighborhood and hurriedly said, "There’s a woman in front of me who would be more experienced in this. May I ask her for you?"
"Make sure it has personally worked for her before." Luke did not search for information about it on the internet because he was worried that the methods were ineffective and would only make Bianca suffer more.
Jason took his phone by his side and walked toward Sue's parked car. When Sue got out of the car, he immediately held her down and asked, "Have you ever had period cramps?" 1
"Huh?" Sue looked dumbfounded.
Jason showed his phone. "I'm asking for Mr. Crawford."
Sue nodded.
"What methods have personally worked for you to alleviate the pain?" Jason continued to ask.
Sue did not dilly-dally and hurriedly explained the methods that were effective for her personally.
After she explained, Sue saw Jason reporting it back to their boss.
When Jason hung up, Sue was about to cry. "Everyone's body works differently. If this method doesn’t work for Bianca, will Mr. Crawford fire me...?"
Jason glanced at Sue but said nothing.
In the apartment.
After Luke received Jason's call, he went downstairs and went to the supermarket.
After coming back, he mixed brown sugar with white wine. He stirred the mixture evenly and lit it up. After the fire went out, he brought it into the bedroom. He sat her up on the bed. "Drink it while it's hot."
Bianca's face turned paler from the pain. When she looked at the white wine mixed with brown sugar in the bowl, she shook her head. "Just give me a painkiller." 1
"Pain-relief tablets only treat the symptoms temporarily.
You’ll still have to use it next time and you’ll be dependent on it,” Luke said, taking a sip of the hot white wine mixed with brown sugar. He picked her up and pressed his lips onto hers, feeding the mixture into her mouth. 1
It was a horrible drink, but he fed every sip to her.
When the bowl was finished, she saw him take a pillow and put it under her waist.
Both of them were wearing clothes. He leaned against the bed frame and held her in his arms. From time to time, he rubbed both of his hands to warm them up and pressed his palms against the cold skin of her abdomen just like last night.
He helped her relieve the cold in her body.
When Bianca saw Luke doing all of that, she started crying so hard that she started shivering. She did not know if hiding the truth from him was good or bad. 1
When she knew that the two of them were related by blood, she felt that the person who told her was extremely cruel.
Allison had badly harmed her and caused her to mentally suffer. She was choking on her sobs.
Therefore, she did not want him to endure it ever. She did not want to do the same cruel thing to him.
Luke hugged her but did not dare to kiss her. He only continued warming his hands to generate the heat to warm her lower back and gently massaged her lower abdomen.
"We’ve crossed the line. We’ve crossed the line..." Bianca knew that they had crossed the line by doing that.
However, he did not know anything, so she was the only one who bore the weight of the sin.
"What line have we crossed?" Luke asked.
She endured all the physical pain and inner suffering by sitting up and walking toward the door. She did not dare to rely on him anymore.
He grabbed her arm and asked, "Where are you going?"
Luke could faintly feel that something was up between him and her. If he could not get rid of the thing that had put up a wall between them, he would not get any results and she would not get relief.
He was angry, but he did not want to explode on her.
Even though she told him that it was Jean who was stopping them from being together, he never believed it to this day.
Jean was not a good man and Bianca was not that stupid.
"I have to head home and check the situation. My period cramps won’t kill me. I’ll be fine." When Bianca said those words, she did not dare to look up. After she said that, she opened the door and left.
Luke's deep eyes were red all over.
