Chapter 369
Chapter 369 In Her Anger, Bianca Slapped Him Hard!
The cab sped along the road and stopped at a hospital belonging to Mallory Corporation.
Bianca threw the driver a twenty-dollar bill and rushed out of the cab before getting the change.
The spacious hospital ward smelled of disinfectant.
Nina's diminutive figure was curled up miserably on the bed.
Bianca felt her heart wrench and her throat go dry. She could not speak a word.
She walked in front of Nina and called out her name. ’Nina..."
Nina turned to look at her with teary eyes.
Bianca hugged her but accidentally touched her abdomen, which caused her to yelp in pain.
When Bianca lifted Nina's hospital shirt and saw that her abdominal area was thickly wrapped in bandages, her eyes opened wide, and her mind started buzzing. "Your stomach..."
Nina's shoulder-length hair was scattered over her neck, and her face was wet with tears.
More horrifically, bloodstains could be seen on the bandages wrapped around her abdomen, which made Bianca feel extremely uneasy.
Bianca's fingers trembled. "Who did this? Which bastard hurt you? I'll call the police!"

Bianca might not know the extent of the Mallory family’s influence, but Nina knew it very well.
Bianca gritted her teeth hard. "Don't worry, Nina. I will find justice for you. Tell me, which bastard hurt you?"
Needless to say, the child was gone.
Bianca could not imagine how someone could be so heartless to harm a pregnant woman.
"It's... it's the Second Young Master of the Mallory family."
Nina trembled in Bianca's embrace, and her tears fell on the back of Bianca's hand. "Don't go to look for him, Bianca. The Mallory family is very influential. If you crossed them, you might not live to see the next day..."
The revelation cas a great shock to Bianca.
'The Second Young Master of the Mallory family? Isn't that Percy Mallory's younger brother?' Her mind was blank except for that thought.
Through Luke, she got to know Percy Mallory, the First Young Master of the Mallory family, who carried himself with elegant and cold grace. He seemed to be a good character, but why was his brother the total opposite?
Bianca tried her best to comfort Nina, and Nina eventually stopped crying. Looking at how weak Nina was, Bianca went to buy schicken soup as well as shealth supplements.
She was lost in thought for the entire journey, even forgetting that she had skipped work.
When she returned to the hospital ward with the food, Nina was lying on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling with swollen eyes and an ashen face.
Bianca spoon-fed Nina the chicken soup, but Nina did not have the appetite to eat after taking a few bites. Then, Bianca fed her the medicine, sat by the bed holding her clammy hands, and closed her eyes in agony.
Uncontrollable anger was brewing in her heart.
It was all because of her. If Xavier had not abducted Nina, then Nina would not be violated by Pierre, and she would not have to go through the pregnancy, the abortion, and even be injured this way...
When Xavier tried to force Bianca to stay with him, Bianca was not the only one hurt; even the innocent Nina was involved. All that had nothing to do with Nina, and Bianca felt incredibly guilty.
Nina's silent tears fell on the snow-white pillow.
She might be talkative and carefree, but she was actually a very conservative girl.
She was pinned under Pierre with all sorts of humiliating poses for one day and one night. That would have already been extremely traumatic. The man's merciless reaction toward her baby plunged her into despair.
She had never imagined that she would undergo such torment. However, she never regretted helping Bianca because Bianca was her best friend, even if the help did not amount to anything. She felt sorry for the baby who had died in vain. She was too weak and unable to protect the child...
Eventually, Nina fell asleep.
Bianca tucked her in and gently wiped her tears.
Seeing how Nina continued to frown and groan in pain in her sleep, Bianca's gaze turned cold.
She summoned a nurse to help take care of Nina, then went to Xavier's company.
When the receptionist told Xavier that Bianca had cto visit him, he took in the information with disbelief and joy. Immediately, he postponed the company meeting that was about to start by one hour and went down to the lobby to greet her.
Bianca saw Xavier appear in front of her, dressed in a business suit and leather shoes.
At that time, Xavier did not seem like a hooligan but a successful businessman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe image of Nina curled up on the hospital bed and crying in despair resurfaced in Bianca's mind.
Instantly, she lifted her hand and slapped Xavier violently. "Scum! Animal!"
Xavier was caught unawares, and the slap landed squarely on his cheek.
In her rage, Bianca used a lot of strength, and her slap forcefully turned
Xavier's head.
Xavier gently touched his cheek with his hand. It was stinging with pain.
He was not angry. Instead, he gently picked up Bianca's hand and asked her gently but degenerately, "Does your hand hurt? If it doesn't, you can continue slapping me..."
It was office hours, and foot traffic was heavy in the lobby of the Tanner Corporation building. Everyone was shocked by that scene.
They did not expect the general manager of their company to be slapped by a seemingly frail woman.
What was most shocking was that the general manager, who was known to have a short temper, was not angry. In fact, his expression was of the utmost care and indulgence. That was uncanny!
Bianca pulled her hand away from Xavier's hand and violently grabbed his collar. Her knuckles were white from the force. "Do you know what you’ve done, Xavier Tanner? Why did you have to involve Nina when you could have just cfor me? She's had nothing to do with us. Now, her peaceful life is ruined because you abducted her. Do you know what she has to go through?"
At that moment, Bianca hated Xavier to the bone.
It was already cruel enough to violate a woman. Nina did not go to the police, and she had kept everything to herself. When she found out that she was pregnant because of that man, she decided to keep the baby, even though she was full of hate and despair.
Unexpectedly, the culprit was the one who deprived Nina of her child.
All that was because of Xavier.
If not for him, would Nina have to be involved and suffer so much?
