Chapter 501 Lanie’s Words Moved Bianca
On the bed, Bianca leaned against the pillow and gently comforted her daughter.
When the little girl fell asleep from exhaustion, Luke carried her and placed heron the other bed.
Lanie had been silent all this while. He walked in front of Bianca, held her hand, and said with a hint of hesitation, "Mommy, I wish I can grow up now. When I'm grown up, I can protect you, and you won't be hurt."
Bianca was deeply moved by Lanie’s words.
She gently pinched Lanie’s face and joked, 'All Mommy wants is for you and Rainie to live happily. You two are my responsibility now, but when Daddy and I are old, you can take care of us. I hope you and Rainie won't think that we're burdens..." "We won't, Mommy," Lanie clenched his fists tightly and made a solemn promise to his mother. "You and Daddy are so nice to us. When we're older, we'll definitely take care of you. The Bible says to honor thy father and thy mother, and that is what we will do." 1
The little boy blinked his innocent eyes as he looked at Bianca. She could feel her heart melt.
The shape of Lanie’s eyes was like Luke's, but he had double eyelids like Bianca. His gaze was as clear as his mother's, but also as profound as his father's.
He had inherited the best features of his parents.
"Mm, I trust you." Bianca was secretly impressed that her son was already such a charmer at a young age. She imagined that he would win over countless women's hearts after he grew up.
"You're so intelligent and sensible, my son." Bianca ruffled Lanie’s hair and planted a wet kiss on his cheek.

"It's all thanks to you," Luke said with a smile.
Without Bianca's genes, she would not have given birth to a pair of cute and intelligent children.
Suddenly, the shrill voice of a woman broke the heartwarming scene in the ward. "Hah, I didn't expect that you're still alive after the crash. How lucky! Your leg is wrapped up like a burrito. Don't tellthat you're crippled?"
Everyone in the ward turned to look in the direction of the voice.
Allison, dressed like a noblewoman, walking on high heels, and clutching the latest Hermes handbag, stepped into the ward.
She fanned the air in front of her with disgust, as though she hated the smell of disinfectant. "I say, my son, you haven't chfor two days. I thought you're busy at work, but I went to your office twice and I couldn't find you there. I didn't expect that you're here accompanying this unlucky wretch! How dare you ignore my calls because of her?"
Allison knew about Bianca's accident because Old Master Crawford heard about it from Jason.
The old man was very worried about his great-grandchildren.
He wanted to cover himself, but he could bring himself to forgive what Bianca had done at the engagement ceremony. That was why he asked his daughter-in-law to go instead.
Allison had a facial appointment with her friends, and she was quite reluctant to go to the hospital. She did not care for Bianca or the child in her womb.
After all, there were plenty of women willing to bear a child for her son if he was willing.
Old Master Crawford was the one who ordered her to go to the hospital, and she had no choice but to obey.
Luke's expression instantly sank when he heard those disrespectful words from his mother. "Mother, Bianca is the children's mother, and she will soon be your daughter-in-law. I don't wish to hear any negative comments about her from your mouth. If you insist on doing so, you shall never step foot into our house." "What? Luke, do... do you mean that you still want to marry her? How is that possible? She has already ruined the reputation of our family. I will not accept her no matter what! Are you that determined to marry her? Will you be satisfied when I die from anger?" Allison thought that Bianca was threatening her son with marriage. Her eyes turned bloodshot, and she wanted to tear Bianca into pieces at that instant.
Bianca's expression seemed unpleasant. She did not expect that Allison would make her life difficult even though she was already disabled on the hospital bed.
However, she did not say anything to Allison because Allison was Luke's mother. She turned away, not willing to look at that woman's face.
Lanie frowned when he heard that his grandmother was insulting his mother.
Suddenly, he went over and tugged at the hem of his grandmother's clothes. Then, he spoke innocently, "Grandma, please don't treat Mommy like that. You'll set an example for Rainie and me. Should we treat you like that when we're older too?’
The little boy had such an innocent look on his face, but those words were extremely infuriating. 'To think I've pampered this ingrate!' Allison thought.
Allison’s face contorted from extranger, but she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her cheeks.
She suddenly remembered that she had a beauty injection the day before. The plastic surgeon had advised her to control her temper while the injection did its job. If she laughed too hard or lost her temper, she might overwork her facial muscles, and the effects of the injection would be much less effective.
Allison was shocked after remembering the plastic surgeon's advice. She tried to keep a straight face. "I'm not going to waste my there. If the baby is still in the womb, we'll take it to Crawford Manor after it's delivered. If the baby is gone, then forget about it. She'll never enter the Crawford family." 1 "Mother, Bianca shall be the only woman I will marry. Our baby is safe.
When she has recovered, I will hold a grand wedding reception for her. If you want to come, we will welcyour presence. If you don't want to come, the reception will still go on as planned,’ Luke said coldly.
Allison nearly popped a vein when she heard that.

At the birthday party in the Norman residence, Leia was thoroughly flustered.
The man had threatened her to give him the rest of the money in two hours.
She was not short on money. After all, she was the Normans' only daughter, and she received a hefty allowance from her mother who ran a business.
However, she could not use her account to transfer the money. That would guarantee trouble.
She could not abruptly leave the party.
Old Mr. Norman was already prejudiced toward her. He was already unhappy when she left his birthday party early. If she did the sthing at her grandmother's birthday party, she was afraid that her grandfather's impression of her would worsen.
She was kicking herself for not being fully prepared.
However, she could not think of a good idea when she was flustered.
Just when she was feeling helpless, a burly man in military fatigues approached her silently.
As stealthy he might be, he could not hide his affection for Leia.
The man managed to evade all the security cameras. He went behind Leia, covered her nose and mouth, and dragged her into the washroom.
Leia almost passed out. When she saw the man behind her, her legs went limp and nearly shrieked out loud.
However, when she thought of the man's background and capabilities, she suddenly had an idea. Casting away her disgust and fear, she smiled charmingly and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck...
