Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1031-Already Married

The sales clerk overheard that and asked, "Are you a fashion designer, Madam?" "No." Bianca shook her head while glancing around the bridal boutique. She did not see anything out of place.

"My elder sister is an architectural designer. She designs many big buildings." She could tell that Bianca was being wary. She tried to praise her to lower her guard.

"I see, Madam. Would you like a drink?" The sales clerk asked.

"Warm water will be fine,' Bianca said.

"Alright. Please sit on the couch. Our designer will be here soon," the sales clerk said.

Leia held Bianca's hand enthusiastically and led her to the couch.

The bodyguards followed behind them closely, never allowing them to be more than three feet away.

Leia glanced behind her and said, "Don't you think that's too much, Bianca? You don't need to bring so many bodyguards with you to just a bridal boutique." "Luke arranged that for me," Bianca said while observing her surroundings.

Leia was angry. Was Bianca trying to show off? Everyone in A City knew that Luke loved Bianca.

She could not express her jealousy on her face, so she smiled and said," Luke is too paranoid. What could possibly happen here?"

Bianca looked at her and said nothing.

Leia was beginning to be unnerved when she saw Bianca looking at her like that. She touched her face and said, "Why are you looking at me like that, Bianca? Is there something on my face?" "No, your face

is perfect." Bianca took her hand away and picked up a catalog.

Leia smiled and sipped some water.

Soon, a rather flamboyant man came over and greeted the two women." Good morning, ladies! I'm Jamie, the designer here. This must be the lucky bride-to-be!”

Bianca noticed that the designer was looking at her. She said helplessly," I’m already married. This one's the bride-to-be."

Jamie smiled awkwardly as he looked at Leia's bulging stomach. "My apologies for the mistake."

Leia was unhappy. She was the one with the blissful expression on her face, so why would the designer think it was Bianca?

"If you can't see clearly, then you ought to have your eyes checked," she huffed. She would have left the place if not for Jamie being the most famous wedding gown designer in A City.

Jamie did not expect Leia to be so candid. "My sincere apologies," he could only say that because he wanted the business. novelbin

Leia flipped to a page in the catalog and tried to change the topic. "I think this design suits you, Leia. It's not too restrictive. You'll have to prioritize comfort in your gown."

Leia looked at the design and thought that it was quite nice too. She told the designer, "I want this one.” "No problem. Actually, many pregnant brides-to-be will select this design, and they all say that it's quite comfortable. I haven't had any negative feedback from it so far," Jamie said enthusiastically. "If you've decided on this design, shall I take your measurements? We can discuss the details after that."

Leia nodded. "Okay. Where should we go?’ "This way, please," Jamie said.

Leia pushed herself up and waddled over.

Bianca remained seated. She looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary. She began to wonder if Xavier was only lying to her to get her out of the car.

She exchanged glances with Sean. Sean remained vigilant as he stood behind her.

The sales clerk brought a tray with drinks. “Please have a cup of tea."

Bianca took a cup. It was warm. She did not drink from it.

The sales clerk handed the cups to Sean and the other bodyguards.

"It's fine, we're not thirsty," Sean refused the drink without hesitation.

They were specially trained bodyguards, and they knew not to accept any food or drink while on duty. If someone had drugged the drinks, they would not be able to protect their employer.

The sales clerk placed the drinks on the coffee table. "I'll put them here then. If the drinks are cold, you can let me know, and I'll replace them." "Thank you." Bianca put her cup on the coffee table and did not drink from it. She picked up a catalog and browsed through it.

After taking the measurements, Leia came out of the room and noticed that Bianca remained seated there. She felt quite nervous.

'Why aren't those people doing anything yet? They’re all pigs! They'd better not hurt me.'

Bianca saw Leia coming out of the room. "Are you done?" "Mm, I'm done. I added an extra inch to my waistline in case the baby grows bigger. I wouldn't want the gown to be an ill fit." Whenever Leia became nervous, she would try to speak as much as she could.

Bianca wondered why Leia was telling her so much. Leia had never bothered telling her all that.

It was pretty strange indeed.

She closed the catalog and replied, "Mm."

Leia glanced around her and did not see Hera's men yet. She could only sit on the couch and touch her stomach. She felt quite thirsty, and she picked up her glass of water.

Bianca stopped her. "That's already cold. Here, take this. It's still warm." "Why are there so many cups?" Leia took the warm cup from Bianca's hands.

"It's for them, but they can't drink while on duty. Don't worry, they're untouched," Bianca said.

Leia nodded and took a sip of the water. It was slightly sweet and quite delicious.

She had gestational diabetes, and the doctor told her that she should take less sweet stuff. She had barely taken any sugar for the past few months. Now that she had tasted sugar, she could not help but drink more.

Jamie brought her a booklet and said enthusiastically, "Mrs. Hilton, these are my designs that are not found on the market. How about you pick one and I'll make it the theme of the wedding gown?"

Leia liked being unique. She nodded and took the booklet. "My wedding gown has to be the only one in the world. I wouldn't have picked your boutique if I had to wear something that someone else has already worn." "Yes, yes." Jamie nodded, though he could not help but complain in his heart. 'If you're that precious, why not get one designed in Italy?'

As popular as the bridal boutique was, it was only popular in A City. If Leia wanted something unique, she could have commissioned a design from an Italian designer.

Leia pointed at one of the patterns and leaned on Bianca. "What do you think of... urgh."

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1032-Many Men Shall Bow to You

Bianca heard the moan and turned her head to look at Leia. Leia was fine earlier, but she seemed to be in a daze now. She was holding her head as though she was uncomfortable.

Bianca placed her hand on Leia's shoulder. "Leia?" "Get lost!" Leia was suddenly hostile. She wanted to push Bianca's hand away, but she did not have the strength to do so. "Ugh... Bianca... you... drugged me!” "I didn't..." Bianca stood up and frowned. "That cup of water."

Sean was thinking of the same thing. He took the cup that Leia had drunk from, carefully brought it to his nose, and smelled something sweet.

"It's a sedative drug, Madam," he said. He had learned to discern different types of drugs in his bodyguard training, and he was very sure what drug that was.

Leia slumped on the couch right after Sean finished speaking.

Jamie stood there, flustered. "What's going on?”

The three bodyguards surrounded Bianca while Sean deftly went behind Jamie, restrained his arms, and pinned him down on the coffee table. "Who are you?"

Jamie struggled to catch his breath. He was not as strong as Sean. "I'm the designer here!"

Bianca told one of the bodyguards, "Check the front desk."

The bodyguard nodded and went out to check. The receptionist was no longer there. Realizing the severity of the issue, he quickly came back to Bianca and said, "The receptionist is gone, Madam."

Sean immediately decided, "Let them escort you to the car, Madam."

Bianca frowned as she looked at Leia passed out on the couch. She thought that Leia was behind this, but she had fallen victim as well.

Sedative drugs posed a great risk to pregnant women. Leia would not have allowed her and her baby to be put into such danger.

Sean saw that Bianca did not move and said anxiously, "Madam, your safety is more important." novelbin

The cup of water was meant for Bianca and her bodyguards, but Leia had drunk it instead. She could tell that their target was not Leia but her.

"Let's go," Bianca said decisively. Just when she turned around, she felt something whiz past her ear.

While she was in shock, the three bodyguards had slumped on the floor.

Bianca saw two foreign faces come through the door. They were holding homemade guns in their hands. The needles earlier were shot from those guns.

"Madam!" Sean was shocked by the scene. He let go of Jamie and prepared to protect Bianca behind him when Jamie struck him with a silver needle.

"Idiot!" Jamie said mockingly.

"You..." Sean's eyes opened wide. He wanted to fight back, but the silver needle was coated with a powerful sedative, and he quickly lost consciousness.

Bianca stood at the edge of the couch and looked at the three men in fear.

"Who are you?" "Why don't you ask God when you meet him in heaven? He might tell you that Luke was the one who let you die." Jamie walked up to Bianca and tore off a layer of skin from his face. A different Caucasian face was revealed to Bianca.

"That's impossible!" Bianca took two steps back and tried to remain calm. She had learned self- defense skills from Rain, but she alone could not fight against three men. Moreover, they had guns in their hands...

"Are you so sure? He said that he hates you and gave us a lot of money." There was a hint of mischief in Abel's deep-blue eyes. The woman could keep calm in front of them as though she was unafraid. No wonder she

could be a match for Luke!

Unfortunately for her, Luke's woman had to die. Otherwise, he could not avenge his dead godfather and Kassy, his most beloved.

"Nonsense." Bianca glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window next to her, estimating the chances of survival if she decided to break the glass and jump out. i

The road was right outside the window, but the glass was thick and heavy. She could not break it with her body.

Bianca sank into despair.

"This is no fun. Tie her up and knock her out," Abel ordered.

One of the men said, "Shouldn't we kill her, Boss?" "I have a use for this woman." Abel looked into Bianca's clear eyes. He suddenly thought that he should not kill her just yet.

How should he make Luke live the rest of his life in agony? Other than killing Bianca, he could also torture her.

"Yes." The man pointed the barrel of his gun at Bianca.

Bianca did not want to fall into his hands and be used to threaten Luke.

She ran head-first toward the window, thinking that she would rather die than cause Luke more trouble.

"Tsk tsk," Abel said while throwing the silver needle in his hand at Bianca. He knew what she was thinking.

The needles struck Bianca's neck, and her knees went weak. Before she could reach the window, she was already on the floor.

"Thinking of dying? Your Luke will be very sad if you're dead." Abel stepped toward her.

Bianca gripped the carpet tightly, trying her best to stay conscious. She bit her lip and squeezed some words out of her mouth. "Just... kill... me... don't waste time..." "I wanted to kill you at first, but I've changed my mind. You have a bright future ahead of you, Bianca, just like Luke did." Abel crouched in front of Bianca and pinched her petite face.

Her face was clean and elegant. Even though she was in danger, she exuded a unique air.

It was a waste for her to stay by Luke's side.

Looking at her closed eyes, Abel smiled and said, "You shouldn't belong to a man. You can make many men bow to you."

He let go of his hand, and Bianca's head fell on the floor.

Abel stood up and told his men, Tie her up and bring her away." "How about these other people, Boss?" His subordinate asked.

Abel stretched his limbs and looked at the men slumped on the floor and Leia passed out on the couch. "Idiot," he said to Leia's unconscious body and walked toward Sean.

"Shall we kill him?" A subordinate asked.

Knowing Abel's character, he would not hesitate to kill anyone who offended him.

Sean was lying unconscious on the floor. He was completely helpless.

Abel narrowed his gaze and looked at Sean. That man was not the typical bodyguard. From the strength Sean used while pinning him on the coffee table, he could tell that he was a former soldier.

Unfortunately, he worked for Luke.

"No need." Abel placed his foot over Sean's hand and stomped hard. With a crack, Sean was crippled.

He was unconscious and did not feel any pain.

"Let's go," Abel said after seeing his subordinates carrying Bianca.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1033-I Won’t Let This Slide

Bianca was carried onto the bridal boutique van. She was already fully unconscious.

Abel sat next to her. He thought for a while and removed the silver needle from her neck.

He had learned his needle skills from Robert, his godfather. Robert had offered to teach those skills to Luke, but he was not interested in learning them.

Abel pinched Bianca's petite face and said, "Your man doesn't know what's good for him. He didn't want to learn how to fire a needle, but his wife ended up being a victim of the needle. Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic."

His subordinate, who was driving the van, said, ' Boss, are we going back to the mansion?"

He was referring to the mansion that Maxine had prepared for them.

"Go to the seaside,” Abel said. He originally planned to stay there for longer, but he had a better plan.

"Yes." The subordinate made a U-turn at the traffic light ahead and went straight to the seaside.

When they reached the seaside, Abel got out of the car.

He had already called a cruise ship to come and pick Bianca up, and it would arrive in half an hour. By the time Sean and Leia woke up, Bianca would already be somewhere at sea.

The subordinate came with a phone. "Boss, it's from Ms. Douglas."

Abel stubbed out his cigarette and took the phone. "Ms. Douglas." "Have you completed the mission?" Maxine asked. Hera had introduced Abel to her. Even though Hera had promised that Abel was a very capable assassin, Maxine had her doubts.

"It's done,’ Abel said while enjoying the sea breeze and taking out a skin- thin mask from his pocket.

"Really? Is Bianca dead?" Maxine could not hide the joy in her voice.

"No," Abel replied.

"What did you say? Why didn't you kill her?" Maxine's voice instantly turned from joy to anger. "Have you forgotten our deal, Abel?"

She had paid a large sum of money to Abel so that Bianca would die.

"I didn't forget, but I've changed my mind." Abel counted the number of cigarette butts on the floor. There were four. It meant that the cruise ship would arrive in another ten minutes.

"You're not keeping up to your end of the deal. Why would anyone want to trust you?" Maxine was furious. She felt as though she had been scammed of her money.

"Ms. Douglas, what you want is for Bianca to be separated from Luke. I have done that for you. As for where she will go, you don't have to worry. I can guarantee you that she will never be back to Luke's side." Abel could guess that Maxine loved Luke, which was why she wanted him to get rid of Bianca.

He only agreed to the job because that would be a heavy blow to Luke.

Maxine was silent for a while. "Abel, don't tell me that you've fallen in love with Bianca?" She said suspiciously. 1

Abel instantly denied it. "Kassy is the only woman I love."

Even though Kassy had never loved him, and he was never short on female companions, his heart had always been captivated by Kassy.

"What's the point of keeping her alive then?" Maxine thought that Bianca would remain her biggest threat as long as she did not die.

"I have a use for her," Abel said as he watched the cruise ship appear from the horizon. "Don't worry, Ms. Douglas. I have something else to do. Bye."

He ended the call, put the phone in his pocket, and ordered his subordinates. "Bring out the woman in the van." "Yes." His subordinate carried out his order. He opened the car door and carried Bianca over his shoulder.

When the cruise ship moored, the subordinate carried Bianca onto the ship. After that, Abel ordered his subordinates to burn the van.

He stood on the deck and watched the van go up in flames. "Let's go," he said with a sinister smile on his face.

"Yes!" Someone replied, and the cruise ship slowly moved away.

Two hours later, Sean and the others slowly woke up. Sean felt that his head was spinning, and when he wanted to push himself up, he found that his right arm was in extreme pain.

His hand had been crippled.

"Ugh..." Leia slowly got up while pressing on her forehead. She looked at her surroundings. "Where am I?"

Sean looked around and did not see Bianca anywhere. Then, he went around to search every corner of the boutique but did not find Bianca.

He rushed up to Leia and grabbed her collar with his left hand. "Tell me! Where did you bring our Madam?"

Leia struggled to breathe. She tried to slap Sean's hand away as she said," What's gotten into you? How would I know where Bianca is?" "You're the one who plotted this. You should know!" Sean was sure that Leia was involved.

"Why would I knock myself out if I'm the one who plotted it? Ahh, my stomach hurts!" Leia suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

Sean frowned when he saw that Leia's dress was gradually stained red. He let go of her and picked up his phone to call emergency services.

Leia slumped on the couch, clutching her stomach and saying in agony," My baby... I won't forgive you if anything happens to my baby." "If anything happens to Madam, you won't be forgiven either." Sean ignored her warning. If anything happened to Bianca, both of them would be in deep trouble.

The contractions in her womb made Leia break out in a cold sweat. She began to fear for her life after she heard Sean's warning.

Soon, the ambulance arrived, and Leia was carried inside. The other bodyguards managed to convince Sean to ride in it too.

Luke rushed to the hospital after receiving a call from the bodyguards.

Sean was undergoing surgery to treat his broken hand.

Two bodyguards stood outside the operating theater. Their heads were lowered as they faced Luke.

"Where is Bianca?" Luke asked.

"Sorry, Boss. We failed to protect her." One of the bodyguards braced himself and told Luke about what happened at the bridal boutique.

"She's abducted?" Luke's forehead was bulging with veins when he heard that. How dare someone lay a finger on Bianca!

"Yes, Ripley is investigating it," the bodyguard said. Ripley was one of the three bodyguards. He was also an ex-special forces soldier, and he was second only to Sean.

"Where is Leia Norman?" Luke asked. He rushed over to the hospital right after he received the call. If the incident happened at the bridal boutique, he could guess that Leia was somehow involved.

"Ms. Norman is also in the operating theater. The doctor said that she had signs of premature delivery, and she had to undergo an immediate operation. Also, those people crushed Sean's hand. He's also inside undergoing an operation," the bodyguard said.

Luke turned around and gave Johann a call.

"What's up?" Johann said lazily.

"My subordinate is having an operation in your hospital. Go to the operating theater now." After Luke said that, he ended the call and walked out of the hospital.

He had to go and look for Bianca!

Jack and Queenie arrived at that moment. When they saw Luke, Queenie asked, "How is Leia?"

Luke's face was ice-cold as he glanced at Jack and Queenie. "Your adoptive daughter has done a good job. I won't let it slide!"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1034-What Happened to Bianca?

Queenie's face turned pale instantly. When she received the call, she only got to know that something happened to Leia. The phone call did not mention anything about Bianca at all. She grabbed Luke’s sleeves and asked him, "What are you talking about, Luke?"

Jack was also anxious when he heard that something happened to Bianca. "What happened to Bianca?" He asked anxiously.

Luke's eyes were bloodshot. "Bianca was abducted at the bridal boutique."

When Queenie heard that, her eyes glazed over, and she fainted into Jack's arms.

"Queenie? Queenie?" Jack hugged her and shook her, but she gave no response. novelbin

When the medical staff saw that, they immediately brought a gurney and took Queenie to the emergency ward. Jack had never faced such a situation before, and he hurriedly followed the nurses in. It was only when he turned around to look that he realized Luke did not come along.

"Luke... Sigh!" The nurses closed the curtains and blocked Jack's view. Not sure of what else he could do, he gave a call to his secretary to investigate the incident at the bridal boutique.

A while later, a nurse hurriedly rushed over. "Excuse me, are you Leia Norman's immediate family?" "I am her father. What is it?" Jack's arms were akimbo. Usually, he would remain composed when faced with big problems, but he could not calm himself down now.

"The patient is going into shock. We need familial consent before we undergo induced labor to save the adult's life," the nurse explained Leia's condition briefly.

"Induced labor?" Jack frowned. Leia's baby was only seven months old. Would the child survive?

"Yes, you'll have to give your consent now. Every minute delayed poses an extra risk for the patient." The nurse frowned. Leia's situation was dire.

Jack rubbed his chin. "Can the baby be saved?" "We would not give up any chance of saving the baby, but the situation isn't looking good. We cannot even detect the heartbeat. That's why we have to induce labor so that we increase the survival chances of the mother," the nurse said. She could not guarantee that the baby was still alive.

Jack finally understood what the nurse was telling her. The baby was most likely gone. If he did not make up his mind now, Leia would be gone too.

Leia might have gone overboard, but she was nonetheless his daughter for twenty years. He did not want her to be in danger.

"Prepare the document. Ill sign it," Jack said decisively. Even though Leia and Brody were about to be married, they had not registered their marriage, so from a legal standpoint, Jack was Leia's immediate family.

The nurse nodded and led the way. "Please follow me."

Jack glanced at the emergency ward. Queenie was still unconscious. He had no choice but to follow the nurse and sign the consent form.

After that, Jack went back to the emergency room and saw Queenie being wheeled out.

"How is my wife?" Jack rushed up and held Queenie's hand.

"She had fainted from a great psychological shock. Well send her to the ward for now. She'll wake up soon," the emergency doctor said.

"Alright. Thank you, doctor." Jack followed them.

The doctor roughly knew what was going on with their family. "Mr. Norman, your daughter is still in an operation. I'll help you look after Mrs. Norman, and you should go and wait at the operating theater. Well inform you immediately if there's an emergency."

Jack nodded. He was too concerned about Queenie, and so he neglected Leia.

"Alright. Thank you, doctor. If my wife wakes up, you can tell her that I'm at the operating theater."

"Of course." The doctor and the nurses wheeled Queenie into the elevator.

Jack went to the operating theater to wait. On the way to sign the consent form, he had already informed Brody that his child was at the risk of being born prematurely. He did not tell him that Leia was in danger too.

Brody did not come even after he knew about it. Jack looked at the time. It had been almost half an hour.

Meanwhile, Luke rushed over to the bridal boutique. The police had been informed, and several police officers were collecting evidence at the scene.

"Boss! I've failed to protect Madam. Please punish me as you see fit," Ripley said when he saw Luke. He felt guilty for failing to protect Bianca and was ready to lose his job.

Luke glared at Ripley with an ice-cold gaze. "What did you find?" "All the surveillance cameras were out of commission. The police are looking for evidence now," Ripley said. His head was still throbbing from the effects of the sedative.

The forensics officer had taken his blood sample for analysis.

"Did you see who they were?" Luke clenched his fists. Despite the severity of the incident, the abductors did not make a mess out of the place to subdue his four bodyguards. At the same time,

Bianca was brought away without much of a struggle.

His eyes turned bloodshot when he thought of Bianca, as though he would go berserk at any time. He would not forgive anyone who tried to harm his beloved woman.

"They're three Europeans. We managed to see two of them, and the police have already made a facial composite. Sean managed to see the other one, but he's sent to the operating theater before a facial composite could be done," Ripley reported.

"Check the roadside surveillance cameras," Luke said. After the police collected evidence, they came up to Luke. "Mr. Crawford, please follow us back to the police station." "Yes. I'd like to talk to the superintendent too," Luke said coldly and turned away.

After Ripley saw Luke and the police officers leave, he made a phone call to the city council to obtain the security footage from the roadside surveillance cameras.

Usually, civilians would not have access to the security footage. However, the victim was Bianca Rayne, Luke Crawford's wife. The news had already spread before the police announced anything.

The other party understood when Ripley name-dropped Luke. Soon, Ripley received the footage in his mailbox.

On the way to the police station, Luke received a phone call from Gordan.

"I’ve found something. Are you free to come over?" Gordan said.

"Something happened to Bianca. I'm heading to the police station. I'll leave that to you for now," Luke said.

Gordan was shocked. "What happened to Sis?" "Someone abducted her." Luke watched the green traffic light turn red and had the urge to run the light.

"How brazen! Do you need any help?" Gordan said.

"Not for now. I'm heading to the police station." Luke ended the call. The red light turned green. Seeing that the cars in front of him were slow to move, Luke blared his horn impatiently.

After parking his car at the police station, Luke went straight to the superintendent's office.

The superintendent was already informed of Bianca's abduction. He immediately stood up when he saw Luke come into his office. "Please have a seat, Mr. Crawford. I've already instructed my subordinates to prepare you a copy of our investigative findings."

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1035- Bianca Will Be Fine "How long will it take?" Luke's expression was grim. His mind was occupied by thoughts of Bianca.

"They just got back. It should take another half an hour," the superintendent said. Looking at Luke's frigid expression, he promised, "Don't worry, well get to the bottom of this. I've already contacted the people in the traffic department, and they should be able to track down the getaway car in half an hour."

Luke understood that the superintendent was telling him to wait.

He could have skipped past the superintendent to receive the security footage from the traffic department. What he wanted was the facial composite from Ripley and the bodyguards' descriptions. Knowing that the culprits were Europeans, he had a vague feeling that the culprits were related to his past.

Ten minutes later, Luke received a call from Ripley. "Boss, I've already tracked down the car that took Madam away. They drove straight to the port area in the west, and they did not swap cars."

Luke frowned. "Let's meet there." "Yes. I'm already on my way to the port," Ripley replied.

The superintendent overheard the conversation. "Mr. Crawford, have you found out where the culprits went?" "The port in the west," Luke said, stood up, and headed out.

The superintendent could not help but be impressed by Luke's efficiency. All his police officers were not as fast as Luke's subordinates. He felt that his police department was quite unqualified.

"I'll make arrangements," the superintendent said while following him.

"I want the latest facial composites," Luke said as he opened the door.

The superintendent dared not delay. "I'll get them for you now!" He immediately said.

The superintendent felt guilty that the police could not solve the break-in at Crawford Manor, so he had to make sure that they could help in Bianca's abduction.

He went to the evidence room, took two facial composites, and handed them to Luke. “This is it, Mr. Crawford."

Luke could not identify the two Caucasian faces. He noticed that one of them had a scar on his face and guessed that he must be an international mercenary.

Anyone who could afford to hire international mercenaries must be loaded. They did not abduct Bianca for money, but they wanted to lure him out.

Thinking that Bianca had once again got into danger because of him, he clenched his fists. novelbin

Luke, the superintendent, and several police cars went to the post area in the west.

His heart wrenched when he saw the charred vehicle.

'Bianca...'

Ripley came over and reported his latest findings, "The car was already in that condition when we got here. We did not find any bodies in the car. It seemed like the culprits wanted to destroy the evidence."

Luke glanced out to the port and clenched his fists. A storm was brewing inside him, threatening to engulf everything in his rage.

The superintendent instantly went to delegate his subordinates. "If the culprits came to the port, they must be hiding the person in a container or the slums nearby. Go and search carefully if you can find Mrs. Crawford." "Yes!" The police officers replied in unison and scattered in all directions.

Luke's eyes remained transfixed on the horizon.

The superintendent trembled when he sensed Luke's seething rage. He hoped that Luke would not pull off something major. Otherwise, he might lose his job.

"Search the van. You might find some evidence!" He said. He knew that the culprits had set the vehicle on fire to destroy the evidence, and it was incredibly implausible that they would find anything useful.

However, they had to be thorough, lest Luke channeled his wrath on them.

"Yes." The forensics officers put on their gloves and masks and started to collect evidence.

The charred remains of the van were still hot. The forensics officers had to be very careful.

For the rest of the day, the police officers checked on every container and house in the area, but they did not find Bianca.

Luke stood next to the sea from afternoon until nighttime.

Ripley stood next to him. What they knew was that the port was Bianca's last known location. However, after checking through all the containers and houses, there was no trace of her. The nearby villagers said that they did not see anything out of the ordinary other than billowing smoke.

It meant that Bianca was brought away in another vehicle before the smoke, or...

Ripley looked at the sea.

If the abductors killed Bianca and threw her into the sea, it would be impossible for them to find the body.

If they brought Bianca away, they must have done so by sea.

However, the sea was so vast, and they did not know where to start investigating.

"Mr. Crawford, uh..." the superintendent had been there for the entire day.

He was tired and thirsty, but he dared not leave as long as Luke was there.

"Continue searching," Luke ordered. His heart was ice-cold as he stared at the dark sea.

He did not know where Bianca had gone, but he believed that Bianca was alive!

"Sigh, yes, yes. All of you, continue searching! Don't miss out on any detail!"

The superintendent said.

In the hospital, Queenie had already woken up. She sat in the wheelchair while accompanying the still- unconscious Leia.

After the induced labor procedure, Leia delivered the child at seven months old. However, it did not survive because it had congenital birth defects.

Brody had been out of town, and he did not manage to come while Leia was undergoing the operation. Only Jack and Queenie knew about the baby’s defects.

The doctor told them that such defects should have been detected during prenatal testing. After that, they checked Leia's medical records, and they found that Leia was aware of the defects, but she insisted that she wanted the baby.

Queenie decided that she would tell the Hiltons after she calmed down. After all, it was Leia's fault.

However, one of the nurses in the operation was Brody's distant relative. After the operation, she immediately told Tania.

Queenie sighed. She held some medical reports in her hands.

One of them was Leia's prenatal test results, and Leia had signed on it.

"Jack, why do you think that Leia would do this?" Queenie was heartbroken. As much as she doted upon Leia, she had to admit that Leia should not have hidden the fact from Brody and the Hiltons.

It was very irresponsible for her to do so.

Queenie thought that Leia would learn to behave. However, she realized that she did not understand her daughter at all.

She thought that her daughter was not the innocent and carefree girl she used to know.

Queenie's tears began to fall when she thought about that.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1036-Calling Off the Marriage

Jack could not bear to see Queenie cry. He took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Alright, don't cry. You shouldn't be emotionally agitated."

Queenie had passed out for the past few hours. If she became agitated, she might pass out again,

Queenie took his handkerchief and looked at Leia on the bed. She was still under the influence of the anesthesia.

Her eyes were bloodshot. She remembered that before she passed out, Luke had said that Bianca was abducted at the bridal boutique. She turned around and asked Jack, "Is there any news about Bianca yet?" "I asked Luke earlier. Not yet." Jack looked at his daughter on the bed and wondered if she had anything to do with the incident.

If she was proven to be involved, he would disown her! novelbin

Queenie was overcome by sorrow and nearly passed out again.

Jack steadied her by the shoulders. "Luke will find her, and she will return safely to us." "Mm..." Queenie tried hard not to cry out loud. She could only silently wipe her tears. Her elder daughter was abducted, while her younger daughter had to lose her baby. She would rather be the one suffering.

The door opened, and Tania rushed in aggressively. She ignored Jack and Queenie while roaring at the patient on the bed. "Get up at this instant, Leia Norman!"

Queenie wiped her tears and stood up. "Mrs. Hilton, Leia is still unconscious. She wouldn't want this to happen either.

Tania looked at Queenie and could not imagine that an elegant woman would have a daughter like that. If their distant relative was not part of the surgery, they would have been deceived until it was too late.

She pointed at Leia sleeping on the bed, her finger trembling with anger." Why is your daughter like that, Mrs. Norman? Why would she keep that baby in her womb despite knowing that it has birth defects? Does she want to marry Brody so much? What do we owe her?"

Leia was indeed at fault. Queenie bowed deeply at Tania and apologized on behalf of her daughter. "I am sorry. I admit that we were careless and have brought trouble to you. We will accept whatever decision you make."

Leia might not be the daughter that Jack and Queenie knew, but they were not going to abandon her at this juncture.

Tania was impressed by Queenie's behavior. She thought that an adoptive daughter like Leia could never learn to be like her mother.

"I want to call off the marriage," Tania huffed.

Queenie paused. Ever since she found out that Leia had been hiding the truth about the baby, she knew that the marriage would eventually fail.

Leia was at fault, and she should bear the consequences.

Queenie nodded and agreed to it on Leia's behalf. "I'll return all the betrothal gifts in two days."

Tania did not expect Queenie to agree to it so quickly and return the betrothal gifts. She was once again impressed by Queenie's character.

Even so, Queenie was Leia's mother, and the Hiltons would rather not have anything to do with them.

Tania did not soften her attitude. She nodded and said, "You don't have to return that. Treat it as a gift for Leia. Brody already knows about it, and he says that he doesn't want anything to do with Leia anymore. I hope you can ensure that she won't pester Brody."

As a mother, Tania knew that Brody still had feelings for Leia.

Of course, those feelings were only skin-deep. She was afraid that Leia might look for Brody after she recovered.

Leia wanted to marry Brody because of his money. She was wicked and useless, and Tania would not have agreed to the marriage if not for the baby in Leia's womb.

Tania's anger grew once more when she was reminded of that baby. She turned around and left.

In a weird twist of luck, Leia did not get to deliver the baby. Otherwise, she would be a sinner to the Hiltons!

Queenie sighed again, and her tears fell.

Bianca's whereabouts were unknown, and Leia's marriage was called off. What was going on?

"Jack, what should Leia do?" Queenie looked at her husband helplessly.

News of Leia and Brody's marriage had spread throughout A City. Everyone knew that Leia was pregnant with Brody's child, and they were to be married soon.

Now that the Hiltons knew that the baby had congenital birth defects, it would not take long before everyone knew that Leia had hidden the truth from the Hiltons.

Leia's reputation was ruined.

Jack frowned. He did not expect that Brody would call off the wedding.

It seemed like Brody wanted Leia only for her baby.

Jack comforted Queenie, "It's good that the wedding is called off. Brody doesn't love Leia anyway. When she gets better, I'll send her overseas to study. She can come back in a few years when all this has blown over."

Queenie grabbed Jack's shirt sleeve and shook her head. "I'll miss her." "There's nothing you can do about that. Leia's reputation in A City is ruined by now," he said decisively. No matter what Queenie or Leia would say, he would have to send Leia overseas.

Back then, he had objected to Leia taking up a degree in performing arts. He only begrudgingly agreed to it because Leia said that she wanted to fulfill Queenie's dreams of becoming an actress.

Now that her acting career was destroyed, what else could she do? How would she be able to sustain herself when her parents were no more?

Should she rely on a man? Someone like Brody was not reliable at all.

It was better for Leia to pick up a new skill.

Queenie sniffled. She was reluctant to see Leia go, but what her husband said made sense. It was perhaps a good idea if Leia laid low for a while.

She looked at her daughter's pale face and said, "It's a good idea if she hides overseas, but she's not young anymore. When she comes back, will she be able to find a husband?"

Jack patted her shoulder and sighed. "If Leia could find a significant other while overseas, then she should marry him. It's better than coming back here and running out of options."

Leia's reputation was already ruined. Even if the incident had blown over, it was impossible for her to find a good husband.

After all, other people would not forget...

Queenie cried even harder when she heard that. She and Leia might not be related by blood, but she had raised her for so long.

"Alright, don't cry anymore. When Leia wakes up, we'll tell her," Jack said.

"No." Queenie shook her head. "Leia's body is weak now, and she won't be able to accept it. We should tell her after she recovers, and we’ll help her step out of the trauma."

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1037- Her Fiance Is More Important Than Her Baby

Jack did not agree to it. Leia was already an adult, and she should have the mental capacity for it. "You can't hide it for too long. If Brody doesn't come, she'll eventually realize what happened."

Queenie was silent.

"Leia isn't a child anymore. If she had been lucky, she would have been a mother in two months. We shouldn't shelter her anymore. She was the one who decided to keep the baby and marry Brody, and she'll have to bear with the consequences herself," Jack said.

Usually, fathers educated their children differently from mothers. Queenie began to reflect if her educational methods had been correct.

"Alright." She eventually agreed after pondering over it.

Leia woke up two hours later. Before she could feel sad about the fact that the doctors failed to save her baby, Jack told her that the Hiltons had called off the wedding after they knew that the baby had congenital birth defects.

"That's impossible!" Leia leaned on the headboard. She shook her head in disbelief when she heard that Brody had agreed to call off the wedding.

"Brody wouldn't want to meet you anymore, Leia. In a few days, when you're feeling better, we'll return all the betrothal gifts to the Hiltons," Queenie said as she touched Leia's face gently. "Don't be sad. There will be someone else who will love you more."

She and Jack were not greedy people. Even after Tania said that they need not return the gifts, she decided that she should.

"Brody loves me so much. He wouldn't call off the wedding. Is it because of the baby? Mom, tell him that I can give birth to another baby for him. I'll give him a plump and cute baby!" Leia grabbed Queenie's hands tightly and begged.

"It's not about the baby, Leia!" Queenie tried to comfort her. "You've lied to the Hiltons, and they're furious about it. There's no more chance between you and Brody."

If Leia's baby had no problems, the Hiltons would not have been so angry.

No one would appreciate being deceived like that.

"I love Brody too much, Mom, don't you know? I didn't want to disappoint him because he's so eager to be a father, and I dared not say anything. novelbin

Give me my phone, Mom. I'll explain it to Brody," Leia said while crying. She would have already gotten off the bed and went to look for Brody if not that her whole body was aching.

Queenie's hands were in pain. She did not pull them away, but instead, she looked at her husband.

Jack had been silent all this while. He handed Leia her phone and said, "If Brody still loves you, he'll answer your call. If not, you should give up."

Leia let go of her mother, took the phone, and dialed Brody’s number.

The call beeped twice before it switched to the busy tone.

She dialed Brody's number again. This time, she was told that the other party had blocked her number...

"No, this can't be. Listen to me, Brody!" Yelling at the phone, Leia was on the brink of madness.

Jack grabbed her phone and said, "Calm down, Leia." "He doesn't want me anymore, Dad. What should I do? No, I'll have to go and find him so that I can explain it to him. If he knows the truth, he'll forgive me!" Leia's snot was all over her face. Just the day before, she had been fantasizing about what she would do with her riches when she became Mrs. Hilton.

The day after that, she was informed that the marriage was called off.

Her fantasy crumbled right in front of her. Leia could not accept it.

Jack saw that Leia was about to get off the bed, so he pressed the panic button and held her down. "You can't get out of bed now." "Let me go and find him, Dad!" Leia begged.

The nurse quickly came in. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"She's emotionally unstable. Can you give her a tranquilizer shot?" Jack turned his head around and asked.

The nurse could see that Leia was out of control. She nodded and said, TH go and get the doctor now." "No, no, I don't want tranquilizers. I only want Brody!" When Leia heard that, she could not help but curse the cruelty of her father.

Why did her parents agree to call off the marriage instead of begging the Hiltons to accept her? Why did her father stop her from meeting Brody? When she thought of that, she bared her teeth and bit down on Jack's arm.

"Ah! Leia, have you lost your mind?" Queenie was shocked when she saw that. She instantly rushed over to shove Leia.

She was not very strong, but Leia was very weak now, and she fell on the bed.

"Wake up, Leia!" Jack frowned when he looked at his arm. It was bleeding from the bite.

Leia slumped on the bed and glared at Jack with obvious resentment.

The doctor came into the ward and saw the scene. She immediately said to the nurse, "Prepare the shot." "I don't want any shots. All of you are bad guys. You only want to harm me!" Leia roared at the doctor.

"Alright, alright, I won't give you a shot then. Can the nurse at least examine your body?"

Leia remained quiet.

The doctor took that as a tacit agreement. She shot a glance at the nurse, then went out of the ward.

The nurse knew what the doctor meant. She walked over, closed the curtains, and pretended to examine Leia. "You've lost too much blood after the procedure. You shouldn't move about in case you start to bleed again." "No. I want to get out of the hospital. I want to look for my fiance." Leia frowned.

That was what the nurse wanted to hear. She sighed and said, "How about this. I'll give you a shot to stop the bleeding, and we'll see if we can get you discharged after that." "Alright. I'll take the shot. Faster!" Leia instantly agreed to it without thinking.

The nurse drew the curtains and said to Jack and Queenie, "I'll go and prepare the shot now. Sir, you should get your wound treated." "Alright, I'll go later." Jack glanced at his bleeding arm. He did not expect Leia to do that to him.

The nurse left the ward. Soon, she and the doctor received the syringe.

"I had to lie again. I feel like a sinner," the nurse grumbled to the doctor while preparing the tranquilizer shot.

The doctor smiled. "It's a white lie. Most pregnant women can't accept the fact that they've lost their baby. After tonight, when she's a lot calmer, she might even thank you for stopping her from doing stupid things." "That might be the case for other women, but not this one," the nurse said." Other women would want to look for their babies, but this one wants to look for her fiance. It looks like her fiance is more important to her than her baby.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1038-Bianca's Whereabouts

The doctor did not know how to react when he heard that. Now that she thought about it, Leia's reason for her emotional distress was indeed different from other women. She guessed that she needed the baby to retain her fiance.

"Do you know who that woman is?" The head nurse suddenly came over. As the leader of the nurses, she should not have been nosy, but she could not help but gossip when she overheard the conversation between the doctor and the nurse.

"I don't know, but she seems familiar,” the doctor said.

"I don't think you'd know her since you just got back from abroad. She used to be an actress that has acted in many movies. However, that did nothing to boost her popularity. She retired from public view following an incident, but after that, there was the news that she would be married to Brody Hilton. You should know about the Hiltons, right? They're involved in international trade, and they're extremely wealthy. The baby should be her bargaining chip to enter the Hilton household, so that should be why she could not accept the fact that her baby is gone," the head nurse whispered.

The doctor instantly understood. "No wonder. She wants to reason with her fiance that the baby didn't survive. Tsk tsk, it's not easy marrying into a wealthy family."

The nurse nodded. She remembered the wound on Jack’s hand, so she took the antiseptic and gauze. "Isn't that so? Sometimes it's easier to live a normal life. I'll go in and administer the shot." "Go then. Forget what you heard earlier. Don't agitate the patient and her family's feelings," the head nurse reminded her.

The nurse went into the ward. 'Til be administering the shot now, Ms. Norman."

Leia was lying on the bed. Her eyes sparkled when she saw the nurse. Once she received the shot, she would be able to leave the hospital." Quick, quick, I want to recover."

The nurse put the tray on the table and prepared the syringe. "It'll sting a little. You'll have to bear it."

Leia nodded and looked at her adoptive parents. She did not feel any guilt for injuring Jack.

Queenie’s tears flowed silently. She was sad when she thought of how Leia had acted earlier.

The ward was silent except for the rustling that came from the nurse's actions.

Luke came into the room and broke the silence.

"Luke!" Queenie wiped her tears and asked him anxiously, "Have you found Bea?"

Luke's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was frigid. When he saw Leia on the bed, he quickly walked over as though he did not hear what Queenie said.

Leia felt a chill when she saw him advance upon her like the devil. She shuddered uncontrollably.

"Who were the ones who abducted Bianca?" Luke's voice was ice-cold. He wished that he could strangle her.

If not for her, Bianca would not have been abducted!

The police and bodyguards did not even find a hair even after combing the entire area. Only Leia knew where he went.

When he knew that Leia had regained consciousness, he instantly rushed over. He would have to find Bianca as soon as he could...

"I don't know!" Leia shuddered again. She was already physically weak. When Luke glared at her like that, she felt as though she had fallen into the abyss.

"I know a hundred different ways to make you speak, Leia. Don't make me," Luke warned. He would have snapped her neck if not that she knew Bianca's whereabouts!

Leia was genuinely afraid. She knew that he meant what he said, especially after that time when he had taken "special care" of her.

However, if she told him what happened to Bianca, she would suffer an even worse fate.

"How would I know? Go and ask the abductors. Why are you asking me?" Leia said insistently.

Luke narrowed her eyes. He could tell that Bianca's disappearance was related to her.

Leia glanced at her parents. They had no intention of helping her. She was on her own now.

She wiped her tears and continued to wail. "Am I that stupid? Why would I sacrifice my child if I wanted to set Bianca up? My child is gone, and Brody doesn't want me anymore. Am I that stupid, Luke Crawford? It's all your fault. It's all Bianca's fault. It's all your bodyguards' fault that my child is gone."

Ripley was standing aside. He could not help but chime in, "Ms. Norman, the doctor said that it's because of the drug." "Bianca handed me that cup of water!" Leia said regretfully. She knew that someone was trying to harm Bianca, yet she took the cup of water from her.

If she had not drunk from that cup, she would still have her baby, and now that Bianca was gone, she would be the only Norman daughter. After marrying Brody, she would be swimming in riches.

It was all Bianca's fault!

Leia was resentful, but she dared not say too much.

Ripley had no retort to that. Bianca had indeed given her that cup of water, but no one expected that the water was drugged.

Seeing that Ripley did not speak, Leia felt more confident. "I'm heavily pregnant. If I'm plotting with someone else to harm Bianca, would I drink that water? Why shouldn't I stay away at a safe distance?"

Leia tried to prove her innocence in every sentence. Luke bent over and clenched her lower jaw.

"Have you lost your mind, Luke Crawford? Bianca's disappearance has nothing to do with me!" Leia's face turned pale from the pain.

"Leia doesn't know anything. Don't be like that, Luke." Queenie was shocked. She was afraid that Luke would do something to harm her daughter.

"I swear I'll get to the bottom of this, Leia." Luke loosened his grip and left the ward.

Leia slumped on the bed. When she heard his footsteps fade away in the distance, the tears that she held in her eyes finally fell.

Luke was terrifying.

Leia regretted helping Hera. It was not worth it at all, even though Bianca died in the process. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she was. "Boo hoo hoo. Bianca's disappearance has nothing to do with me, Mom."

Queenie’s heart wrenched. To her, Leia was also hurt in the process, so she should not be implicated in Bianca's disappearance. novelbin

Jack watched all that without showing any emotion. Leia had tried her best to convince others that she was innocent, but he could see that something was amiss.

He believed that Luke had seen it too.

The nurse stood there with the syringe. Leia seemed to have calmed down, or at least she did not have the tendency to injure other people. Should she administer the shot?

She thought for a while but asked anyway, "Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, should I administer the shot?”

Jack glanced at the wound on his arm. "Yes."

The nurse nodded and said to Queenie, who was hugging Leia, "Would you like to step back for a little? I'm administering a shot for your daughter."

Queenie nodded and patted Leia's head. "Be a good girl. You'll be fine." "Mm." Leia sniffled. She was thinking that she would be looking for Brody

after the shot.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1039- Heart-Wrenching Cry

The nurse deftly administered the shot and comforted Leia. "It'll hurt a little later on. You should close your eyes and rest for five minutes."

Leia slowly closed her eyes.

The nurse turned around and spoke to Jack, "Let me dress your wound, Mr. Norman." "Thank you," Jack said as he lifted his injured arm.

Five minutes later, the tranquilizer took effect, and Leia fell silent.

Queenie covered her with the blanket, went to Jack's side, and gently touched his hand. "Does it hurt?" "It's fine." Jack shook his head. After sterilizing the wound, the nurse carefully wrapped it with gauze. It did not hurt even if he pressed it.

Queenie sighed. Her eyes were puffed up. "You've been a stern father since Leia was small, but you’ve never punished her. Leia respects you a lot, but now, she bit you..." "That's enough." Jack glanced at Leia. The tranquilizer had taken effect, and Leia was incapacitated for now. He told Queenie, "Take care of Leia. I'll go and look for Luke." "Alright." Queenie nodded. Her unease grew whenever she thought of Bianca.

Luke was in Sean's ward.

Sean had already woken up from the anesthesia. He and a few police officers were making the facial composite. His testimony was the most important because he was the only one who had seen the mastermind of the operation.

"This is it, Officer," Sean said. He could use his left hand as well as his right.

The police officer handed the facial composite to Luke.

His face turned ashen when he saw the face. He turned around and said to

Ripley, "Do whatever it takes to find this person." "Yes, Boss." Ripley took a photo of the facial composite with his phone.

Luke continued to hear Sean give his statement to the police. According to Sean, the culprits were there for Bianca, and they wanted to kill her.

After recording the statement, the police said, "Don't worry, Mr. Crawford. We'll do our best to solve this case. We'll be sending the facial composite back to the police station and issuing a citywide bounty for this man. We'll also guard every exit point so that he can't run away."

Luke remained impassive after hearing all that.

The police would not be able to arrest a criminal of that level, just like the police were not able to do anything to the Island of Despair.

Luke headed out of the ward.

Sean stopped him. "Sorry, Boss. I didn’t manage to protect Madam."

He would have gotten on his knees if not that he was confined to the bed after the operation. Luke had hired him to take care of Bianca, but he had failed to do that.

"You didn't," Luke said and left the ward.

Johann was coming over. When he saw Luke, he said, "I've already fixed your subordinate's hand. Fortunately, only the bones are broken, and the nerves are undamaged. His hand will be as good as new after the bones heal." "Mm." Luke remained cold and distant.

Johann was puzzled. "What's going on with you? He's still alive, but you act as though he's dead."

Luke had asked for his help to save Sean's hand, and he had successfully done so. Why did Luke look so unhappy?

"Just do your job." Luke glanced at Johann coldly and left.

He met Jack downstairs.

"Can we chat?" Luke said.

Luke nodded. He despised Leia, but he did not hate Jack. Bianca inherited most of her looks from Queenie, but he could see some common features between Bianca and her father.

The two came to the hospital cafeteria.

Jack was not going to defend Leia. He did not beat around the bush either. "I think that Leia isn't innocent. I'll try to find out something from her, but it'll be difficult because she's still emotionally unstable."

Luke raised an eyebrow, but he was not too surprised. He thought for a while and eventually said, "Thank you, Dad." "Bianca is my birth daughter. I wouldn't let her suffer like this..." Jack sighed.

Luke's expression was cold. Jack had recognized that Bianca was his daughter, but Leia had always denied it and had even tried to harm her multiple times.

He would not forgive her if he found out that she was the one behind it! novelbin

"Bea will be fine. I can sense it," Jack said. He could not bear to see Luke being so cold because of Bianca.

He glanced at the time. He had left the ward for quite a long time, and he was worried that Queenie might not be able to take care of Leia alone. He stood up and said, "Back then, when my wife was pregnant with Bianca, everyone told me that my daughter wouldn't survive. I didn't believe it. My intuition told me that my daughter will be alright. To find the truth, I've also hired many people to help with the investigation. Times are different now, and technology has improved. It's easier to investigate something now. If you need any help, just tell me. I'll help you even if it costs me my job."

After giving the promise, Jack turned around and left.

Luke sat on the chair. He sank in deep thought.

A while later, he gave a call to Gale. "Do you remember the people on the Island of Despair?" "Yes, Boss, I remember," Gale replied.

"Give me all your information on them," Luke said. He was worried that someone from the Island of Despair had abducted Bianca.

Gale did not know why Luke wanted that. Boss, most of the people from the Island of Despair were killed or arrested in the subsequent operations. Why do you want their information?" "Bianca was abducted. I suspect that some people have gotten away," Luke said.

Gale was shocked. "I'll get you the name list now." "Be quick and detailed. After confirming their identities, contact the Russian police to see if they're in prison," Luke said. All he knew was that Bianca's last known location was at the port. He did not know who had abducted her.

"Understood," Gale replied and went to carry out Luke's orders.

Luke drove to the port. The night was dark, the waves splashed on the walls, and the wind was strong, bringing in the scent of the sea and a faint hint of rain. A storm was brewing somewhere. He looked into the distance, and there was not a ship sailing.

His phone rang. It was from Crawford Manor.

He answered the call.

The butler sounded nervous, "Where are you, Sir? Master Tommy is crying, and he wants you and... Madam."

Tommy cried even harder when he heard that. Luke had never heard Tommy cry so hard before.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1040-To Make Luke Crawford Suffer

Tommy ran into the scene and wanted to snatch the phone away. He was standing on the sofa and crying his lungs out while staggering.

The butler was afraid he might trip over and quickly carried him up, placing him on the floor. He had no choice but to hand him the phone.

Tommy asked while sobbing, "Where are Mommy and Daddy? Tommy wants Mommy, I want Mommy!" "Stop crying. I'll be on my way back now," said Luke with a deep voice. He had to take good care of the child as Bianca would surely be upset if she were to know that Tommy was crying so terribly.

Tommy continued to cry hard. "Daddy, you must bring Mommy back."

Til definitely bring your mommy back. Be a good kid and hand the phone over to the butler." Luke coaxed him.

Tommy rubbed his eyes and handed the phone over to the butler. His big eyes were red after crying so hard, the sight of it making others pity him.

The butler took the phone. "Young Master." "How did the kid know about it?" Luke's voice carried an angry tone.

"The two servants accidentally blurted it out. I've already fired them both," said the butler. Tommy happened to overhear the two servants gossiping at a corner when they were coincidentally talking about the issue regarding Bianca.

Tommy was no longer a kid who knew nothing. He kept crying while requesting the adults in the house for an explanation upon knowing that Bianca was in trouble.

Old Master Crawford was not at home either. The butler was out of his wits and gave Luke a call.

"I'm on my way back. Take good care of the kids," ordered Luke.

"Yes, sir!" the butler answered.

Luke hung up the call and immediately drove his car back home. ’Bianca will be back in one piece. She won’t want to see the kids in trouble. Hence, during this period, I must take good care of the kids.'

It was late at night and the ocean waves kept crashing against the cabin.

The waves even rushed up to the deck and made the entire ship wobbly.

Bianca slowly opened her eyes. As she had been unconscious for a very long time, everything she saw was blurry.

"Hmm..." She moved around and her limbs felt numb as though they were being restrained.

"You’re awake?" A spooky male voice was heard. Bianca fumbled around and opened her eyes. She glanced at the ceiling and asked herself, 'Where is this place?' "Are you awake? Are you hungry?" Abel was sitting on the bed and glancing at her with a smile.

Bianca spun around and looked at Abel's smiling face. Chills were running down her back. She found that his smile was not friendly at all. He looked like a demon from the gates of hell. It was as if he would smile like this right before taking someone's life.

"Do you think you’ll be able to get away from me by just remaining silent?" Abel rubbed her face.

Bianca felt rather disgusted. "Where am I?" "We're out on the ocean." Abel let go of her and placed one of his feet over the other. "I've changed my mind at the eleventh hour and chose not to kill you. So, are you feeling grateful?" "What are you plotting? Where do you plan to send me to?" Bianca wanted to

know his intentions and thoughts. She moved her hands and indeed, they were tied onto something, making her unable to move an inch.

"I want Luke to suffer," Abel told her this half-truth. As for her second question, he ignored it. "Luke hurt the lady I love, making us unable to meet with each other forever. I want to make him have a taste of losing the lady he loves to let him know how it feels." "You can just kill me," Bianca said calmly. Her hands were hurting due to them being restrained. She was unable to struggle either.

"Yeah. Besides, there are lots of people who want to kill you. But in the end, I changed my mind. Bianca, I'll let you live. In the future, don't let me down. " Abel got up and walked out the door.

"What are you planning to do?" Bianca gritted her teeth. She could only sense that she was being restrained by a maniac, and that maniac still had no idea about what to do with her.

"You'll know about it soon." Abel wiped the smile off his face. "Right now, you just need to live a proper life."

He pulled the door of the cabin open and walked out of it.

Bianca lay on the bed and was looking at the ceiling helplessly. Her limbs were restrained and she could not even commit suicide.

She recalled Luke and the three children. 'They're all currently in A City.

Things must be chaotic now...'

Bianca felt a pinch in her heart the moment she thought that she might not be able to see them again for the rest of her life...

Abel brought in a bowl of pasta and said, "You people of A City love to eat this whenever you don't have an appetite to eat, right?"

Bianca took in the smell of the pasta and realized she was rather hungry.

However, she was determined not to plead and just ignored him.

Abel placed the bowl of pasta on the side of the bed and used a fork to cool the pasta.

"You citizens of A City are really weird. Whenever you guys don't have an appetite, you eat food like this. The same goes for Luke," Abel started muttering to himself when he noticed Bianca was not responding to him.

Bianca revealed the side of her face and looked at him. "What grudge do you have against Luke?"

Abel raised his brows and his eyes glinted evilly. ''A really huge grudge involving love and murder!"

"Luke wouldn't have simply killed others without any valid reason," said Bianca. She knew Luke very well. Those who were directly or indirectly harmed by him were people who had committed bad deeds.

"You really do know him well." Abel smiled evilly and threw the fork to the ground. But he did kill someone. He killed my foster father. My beloved lady had once saved his life and treated him so well, yet he was so cruel and sought revenge instead. Now that you're within my grasp, I want to train you to become this sort of person. I want to make him have a taste of what it feels like to be hurt by cruel people." "You’ll not succeed. I'll never become such a person!" Bianca clenched her fists.

"You will. I've got a ton of ideas to make you change." Abel placed the bowl to the side of her mouth. "Eat up."

Bianca tilted her head and rejected him with her actions.

Abel squinted his eyes. His huge palm grasped her face, and with another hand, he grabbed her chin. It made Bianca give in and open her mouth.

He stuffed the pasta into her mouth. While doing it, he said mercilessly," Bianca, you can't die without my approval. You must live your life well and watch yourself slowly change."

Bianca choked at the big mouthful of pasta. She tried her best to swallow the pasta. She swallowed half and spat out the other half of it.

Abel discarded the bowl to the back and looked at her embarrassing appearance. He teased, "What a shame. From the looks of it, your appearance can't even match up to half of my beloved lady’s beauty. Is there something wrong with Luke's judgment?"

Bianca let out a few consecutive coughs as the bits of pasta entered her gut while some even entered the nose. She was even more uncomfortable now.
