Chapter 1079 Luke Does Not Seem To Miss You That Much
Bianca listened carefully to his every word, unwilling to miss out on anything.
She had a basic understanding of the drugs in front of her after Shanks' explanation. She was a little disappointed to find out that
these drugs would not cause much harm to the human body.
After Shanks went through the basics, he went on to teach them how to operate the instruments without checking whether the
two of them could keep up with his pace.
Bianca was introduced to these instruments when she was in school.
Compared to Eler, she was much more proficient. After Shanks assigned them a task, she mixed the materials and completed
the purification process not long after.
Shanks sniffed her end product and said as he nodded in satisfaction, "Not too bad. You’re done for the day."
Bianca raised her eyebrows. Since she arrived on the Island of Despair, today was the first time she knew she could get out of
class early.
However, she was happy to leave. She took off her gloves, turned around, and walked out.
"Miss..." Eler held the test tube and looked like she was about to burst into tears. She looked at Shanks imploringly. She was fine
serving others, but this was torture for her!
Shanks said with a cold expression, "You can only leave when you're done." "Mr. Shanks, this is too difficult for me..." Eler felt
helpless. She did not get to go to school much back when she was in the village. Her family was not well-to-do, so she had given
up the opportunity to go to school to her younger siblings. This was her first time being exposed to instruments like these.
Shanks did not react to her pleas and continued staring at her coldly.
Eler sighed and had no choice but to continue with the task at hand. Her mind was all over the place and she almost knocked
over the lamp.
Bianca walked out of the room and looked at the bright corridor. The incandescent lights were constantly shining, reminding her
of daylight.
She laughed mockingly. 'No matter how bright the lights are, I’m still underground where there’s no such thing as day and night.
When the lights are off, the only thing left is endless darkness.'
When she saw Abel approaching, Bianca's body stiffened and she subconsciously wanted to turn around.
"Stop." Abel smiled wickedly the moment he saw her. He sped up his pace and stopped in front of her.
Bianca kept quiet and stared at the evil man.
Abel lifted her chin and asked, "Why are you so free?" "Shanks allowed me to leave early," Bianca said.
Abel was in charge of planning her schedule, so he had a grasp of the classes she took every day.
He increased the strength of his grip. He squeezed her face and asked, "Do you miss Luke?"
Bianca froze. The emotions in her eyes betrayed her.
"You miss him a lot, don't you?" Abel grinned, let go of her, and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked down at her and
said, "Luke doesn't seem to miss you all that much, though." "What do you mean?" Bianca asked warily. ‘Luke doesn't miss me?
Did he go to see Luke? Does he know that I'm trapped here?’
Seeing the looming hopefulness in her eyes, Abel wanted nothing more but to shatter it.
"I heard that Luke has been intimate with a woman recently. If it's not because he's still legally married to you, they'd already be
walking down the aisle," Abel said. Maxine had not taken action, so he had no photographic evidence yet.
However, he did not need photos to start a rumor. All he wanted was to trigger Bianca.
"That's ridiculous." Bianca lowered her gaze and did not react to what he said. That was because she knew Luke was not that
kind of person.
Although a few months had passed, she was certain that he was still looking for her, so Abel's words held no credibility.
"You don’t believe me?" Abel raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that his words could affect their relationship in the first
place.
"If there's nothing else you want to talk about, I’ll go back to my room first." Bianca turned around and walked to her room.
Abel looked at her as she walked away. She was like a noble swan, unaffected by his words.
He pursed his lips. His eyes were like poisonous snakes, evil and scheming. He was interested to see how long Bianca could
keep up her proud and confident appearance.
The moment Bianca walked into her room, she fell limply on her bed as though all her strength had been sucked dry.
"Luke...”
She had gotten a scare when Abel mentioned Luke's name.
Luke was still not aware of his true identity. If Abel approached him, she was afraid that Luke would suffer...
Bianca picked up the small stone on the side and carved a line on the wall. Another day had passed in this hell hole...
She touched her bulging belly. Although she was imprisoned, her physical condition was decent and their child was slowly
growing up in her belly day by day.
Bianca put the stone aside and whispered, "Baby, if something happens in the future, don’t blame me for the choices I have to
make."
Eler was finally done with the experiment and returned to the room. She saw Bianca spacing off, so she stepped forward and
asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
I’m okay." Bianca was deep in her thoughts thinking of Luke and came back to her senses.
She had been thinking about everything and anything, including the identity Abel would use to approach Luke to retaliate against
him.
She was in despair knowing that no matter what Abel did, she would still be imprisoned, unable to help Luke.
"You don't look so good. If you're feeling uncomfortable, don’t force yourself," Eler said with care.
"Mm." Bianca nodded and replied, "I’m a little tired, I want to lie down for a while." "Okay, take some rest, there's still some time
before the next meal." Eler glanced at the clock on the wall. The Island of Despair followed a militarized schedule, so everything
was in accordance with the rules and regulations.
Even a pregnant woman like Bianca was not exempted from the schedule.
Eler tucked her in and said, "Miss, Mr. Shanks just said that because your belly is getting bigger and bigger, it'll be inconvenient
for you to continue on with the training. Until you give birth, we'll only be going to medical classes." "That's great," Bianca said
with her eyes closed.
She liked medical classes not because they were easy but because poison was the only method that did not leave a trace of
blood when killing.
"I think it’s so difficult." Eler considered Bianca a friend and would sometimes rant to her. "I don’t understand those instruments.
The lamp almost exploded just now..."
Bianca kept quiet.
Shanks' class was not the same as those that ordinary medical students attended. He was efficient in his teaching, quickly
allowing her to learn what she wanted to learn.
Based on the current progress, she should be able to gain a lot of medical knowledge before giving birth.
Eler looked at her and said with envy, "Miss, I'm envious of you. It’s both our first time learning about this but you managed to
finish Mr. Shanks' assignment so quickly. Unlike me, I feel stupid and ashamed." "Practice makes perfect." Bianca comforted her
and made a mental note. Eler did not realize that whenever she mentioned Shanks, her tone conveyed a sense of admiration.
