Chapter 1397 Luke Is A Cruel Man

Traffic was light at night. Luke floored the gas pedal and arrived at the mansion in about half an hour.

There was no one in the living room. Luke guessed that Gale and Rain were both in the basement, so he went down the stairs.

As expected, Gale and Rain were there.

"Boss," Gale greeted Luke as soon as he saw him.

"What's the situation?" Luke glanced at the impostor Bianca lying on the bed. Her skin was wrinkled and waxy, and she had lost all her vigor.

"Our drugs won't be able to keep her alive for much longer,” Rain said as she stepped aside. Earlier, she had given the impostor Bianca a dose of sedative and a dose of painkillers.

Since two hours ago, the impostor Bianca had been screaming in pain whenever she was conscious. She even tried to ram her head against the wall, and Rain had no other choice but to give her a double dose of drugs.

A normal person could not withstand the double dose, but if Rain had not done that, the impostor Bianca might have been dead by now.

"Luke Crawford." The impostor Bianca was panting heavily as the last shreds of her lucidity slipped away under the effects of the sedative.

Luke looked at her. "What else do you have to say?"

The impostor Bianca grimaced when she saw that Luke did not show her the slightest hint of sympathy. As the painkillers took effect and the pain vanished, she began to grin brazenly.

Rain took a step back when she saw the unnerving grin on the impostor's face.

She could not help but think that the mysterious doctor on the Island of Despair was extremely cruel to invent such a poison. Shortly after one stopped taking the antidote, they would rapidly wither like a dried corpse...

Not only that, they would be in abject agony...

Even though Rain had not experienced the agony herself, she could tell that it was extremely painful.

The impostor Bianca grunted and glared hatefully at Luke. "Aren't you always looking for your wife? Lettell you, you won't be able to find her. Once she falls into that man’s hands, she's as good as dead."

Luke clenched his fists tightly. "Do you know her?"

Tears began to flow down the impostor Bianca's cheeks as she stared at the ceiling. "I don't know her, but it'll be impossible for you to find her. Even if she's still alive, she'll hate you for taking so long to find her. Just... give up. If I can't find true love, you won't be able to either. She'll hate you... for the rest of her life..."

She did not beg because her condition had gone past the point of no return. Abel would not believe that she did not betray him anyway. Her voice becweaker and weaker until she fell into unconsciousness.

Luke looked at the woman on the bed. In only two days, she seemed to have aged twenty years. "Boss, shall I wake her up?" Rain asked.

"There's no need. She's not going to last for long.” Even though Luke was not proficient in medicine, he could tell that the impostor was one foot in the grave.

Rain nodded.

Gale said, "Even if she wakes up, she'll only be screaming in pain. We won't be able to obtain any useful information from her."

They did not have to torture her. The poison from the Island of Despair was torturous enough.

Luke glanced at her coldly. Those words rang in his ears.

He had to admit that he had fallen into a trap. Otherwise, he would not have stopped searching for the real Bianca.

Even if the real Bianca were still alive, she would hate him to the bone...

Luke could not imagine how much Bianca had suffered over the past three years.

Rain could guess what Luke was thinking. She said softly, "I'll look after her, Boss. You should go home. Gale will get the job done when it's tfor her to go.”

"Make sure that no one can recognize her," Luke said. If the real Bianca was still alive, there was no need for the impostor to keep her disguise as his beloved wife.

"Understood," Rain said. If Luke were not worried about explaining to his children about their mother's sudden disappearance, they would be willing to carry out his orders.

Luke did not linger at the mansion. He left the basement and drove away.

Those words continued to ring in his ears. He could not shake them off...

The mansion was not far away from the coast. Luke drove the car to the coast, parked there, and lit a cigarette.

Three years ago, Bianca's trail had abruptly disappeared at the port. No one could find her until stlater when she was discovered in another city...

If he had thought carefully about it back then, he would realize that Bianca would not have appeared in an inland city if she had disappeared at the port.

That way, he would not be deceived by the impostor Bianca.

Luke smoked a cigarette after another. The car was filled with the stench of cigarette smoke.
He would instinctively take out a cigarette whenever he thought of Bianca, as though the nicotine could both stimulate and soothe his nerves.

However, he did not feel the effect of the chemicals at all.

At midnight, Luke received a message from Gale.

The message said that the impostor Bianca was deteriorating rapidly. She had regained consciousness half an hour after Luke left, and no drug was able to alleviate her suffering. Moreover, her internal organs began to fail, and Rain could not do anything about it.

Luke's expression turned cold after reading Gale's report. Even though the woman had been by her side for three years, he did not feel any sympathy toward her.

He began to compose the reply. [End her.]

After sending the message, Luke stubbed out the cigarette and drove back to Crawford Manor.

He would not forgive anyone who harmed Bianca, including the impostor who had replaced her. Before he could carry out his revenge, the poison had killed her.

Luke thought that she had had it easy...

Two days later, the discovery of a female corpse near the A City port shocked the entire city. The corpse was badly disfigured, and the police could not discern her identity. All they could do was try to find a match in the missing persons list.

Luca was eating a simple breakfast at the dining table while listening to the news report on the television. 'A female corpse with unrecognizable features..."

She shook her head, guessing that it was the impostor Bianca.

She remembered that someone had said before that Luke was a cruel man.

However, she knew that he was not cruel to everyone. Instead, he was kind and loyal toward the real Bianca, the children, and Old Master Crawford.

As for other people, he would not waste too much of his ton them.
