Chapter 2923
Luke arrived at the hospital.
Both of them got out of the car wearing masks and caps. Luca could not believe that there would come a day when she would have to disguise herself just like Luke.
After all, her photo had been publicly posted on the forum. If she walked into the hospital now, she might attract attention and cause trouble for Luke.
Before Luke got out of the car, he already found out about Queenie's ward room number. They went upstairs and arrived at the door of the ward room. Luca stopped and said in a soft voice, "You go in first. I'll wait here. If there's anything I can help with, just call me^"
Luca dared not to go inside. She was afraid that her presence might upset Queenie.
Patients with blood pressure problems should not be subjected to any stress.
"Alright, I'll go in and see what's going on," replied Luke. Then, he pushed the door open and entered the ward.
Luca sat on a bench in the hospital corridor. Since it was a VIP floor, there were not many people passing by. Even though she was wearing a cap and a mask, she did not attract much attention.
Many family members on this floor were also wearing caps and masks.
After Luke entered the ward, he saw Jack standing up.
"Dad," Luke greeted him and turned to look at the hospital bed. Queenie was not there. "Where’s Mom?"
"The nurse took her for a medical check-up. I knew you were coming, so I had the caretaker follow her. But why are you alone?" Jack did not see Luca and asked.
He thought Luca would ctogether with Luke.
With this situation unfolding, should Luca not tell them the truth by now?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was what Jack thought. Thus, when Queenie saw the news reports about their relationship, he did not reveal Luca’s identity to her.
It would be more meaningful for Luca to confess herself.
After all, Queenie had been thinking about Bianca all this time.
She believed Bianca was still abroad, simply refusing to cback. In fact, Bianca had been by her side all along, showing extra care for the two of them.
“She's here, but she's outside," Luke said in a hushed voice even though the hospital ward had good sound insulation. He removed his mask and cap.
Jack frowned. "Why is she outside? She doesn't want to cin?"
"She doesn't know how to face Mom. She probably hasn't thought about confessing yet." Luke turned around and glanced back to make sure the door was closed before walking toward Jack.
Jack could not help but wonder. He had lived for so many years. This was the first the encountered such a situation.
His biological daughter was right beside him, but she had changed her identity and refused to acknowledge them.
Even in this situation, she still refused to reveal her true identity. Did they have to wait for something serious to happen to Queenie before Luca would disclose her true self?
"Her mom is already upset, but she still refuses to speak up. How are we going to handle this situation? If she comes back from the check-up and sees her, she'll definitely be anxious. Should we tell her or not?" Jack was even more puzzled. He knew that Luca was hiding so many things because she had no choice, but this was a critical moment.
Luca cared so much for her parents. She certainly did not want any problems to arise for them.
However, if Queenie did not know the truth, she would definitely still be distressed.
Jack did not want to witness such a scene.
"Go ahead," said Luke as he took a document out of his briefcase.
It was something he took from the study room before he left the house. It was the DNA test report on Luca and the children.
It was the sone he had shown to Jack before.
"Do you really want to tell her? Why don't you do it?" Jack had no idea how to handle this matter. He could not understand what Luca was afraid of and why she was reluctant to acknowledge her family, especially at a tlike this.
Jack was eager to show her the evidence and force her to admit that she was Bianca.
However, Luke disagreed with it.
As a father, Jack wanted to reunite with his daughter, but he understood that only Luke could help Luca escape from the Island of Despair.
Hence, it was up to Luke to decide.
"If we keep this from my wife, she'll probably continue feeling distressed..."
A rare hint of helplessness flashed across Luke's eyes. He did not know what the Island of Despair was using to blackmail Luca. Despite everything that had happened, she was still unwilling to reveal her true identity.
On the other hand, they could not keep Queenie in the dark for long. Prolonged high blood pressure could lead to dizziness and put too much strain on her organs. Even if Luca tried her best to help Queenie recover, it would be difficult.
As children, they wished for their parents' good health. Luke believed Luca felt the same.
Otherwise, she would not be waiting outside at this moment.
"Well, let's tell her. But if Luca won't speak up, how do you plan to make her confess everything?" Jack felt that they needed to understand what the Island of Despair was using to blackmail Luca.
Otherwise, how could she refuse to recognize her husband, parents, and children?
"We'll need Mom's cooperation, and if necessary, her aunt's cooperation," Luke said with a hint of depth in his eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe did not want to schagainst Luca, but her uncooperative attitude was making it difficult for him to act in the future.
If Luca cooperated, he could quickly gather more information about Island of Despair and rescue her.
"The Rayne family? That's a good idea! But don't trouble Old Man Rayne. I think Luca's aunt can help," Jack agreed to involve Wanda, but he thought it would be best not to involve Old Man Rayne.
His health was in poor condition, and getting him worried about Luca might make things worse.
"Agreed." Luke nodded.
"The check-up will take a while. Take a seat," Jack gestured to the sofa nearby.
Luke sat down and sent a message to Luca: [Mom is not in the ward. The nurse took her for a check- up. I'm here waiting.]
Luca, who was outside the ward, received Luke's message and instinctively pulled her hat down a little before sitting in the chair opposite.
She did not want Queenie to recognize her. It was to prevent her from getting more distressed.
Inside the ward, Jack asked again, "So when Queenie finds out she's actually Bianca later and stops being anxious, how are you going to explain it to Luca?"
"We can only say it was a misunderstanding. But Mom should still show suspicion and act as if that suspicion is making her feel worse," answered Luke.
He did not want to schagainst Luca. However, it was frustrating to have his wife right beside him yet she was only able to be with him using a different identity.
"Got it." Jack knew that Luke had thought it through and did not say anything more.
Luke picked up his phone and sent a message to Jason.
After a while, Jason replied: [Boss, there are reporters surrounding the office building now. Sof our employees were interviewed when they cto work, but rest assured, I've instructed them not to say anything. What's the plan from here?]
Luke replied with three words: [Hold your ground.]
Jason immediately responded: [Understood, Boss. When will you be coming to the office? We have a meeting scheduled this morning.]
