Chapter 918 Who Was the One Who Harmed You?
Tommy slurped a mouthful of spaghetti and smiled. "It's delicious, Mommy!
Bianca wiped the tomato sauce from his face with a napkin. "Here, have some juice." "I love you, Mommy," Tommy gave Bianca
a flying kiss after his mouth was clean.
Bianca's heart softened. Seeing that her kids were happy, she felt as though she could weather through any storm.
Luke and she would maintain the happiness of this family.
After the caretaker clocked in for work, Bianca changed into casual clothes, put on a mask and sunglasses, and left the mansion.
The reporters scrutinized every one of her actions. She had to keep herself in disguise.
Sean brought her to the hospital.
The car stopped, and Gale came over to open the door. "Good morning, Madam," he greeted Bianca.
"Good morning." Bianca lowered the brim of her hat in case someone recognized her.
The news had continued to spread throughout the night.
If someone recognized Bianca, they would say that she was a murderer.
The power of mass media came from harnessing public anger and curiosity.
“This way, please." Gale led the way and walked in front of her.
Bianca and Gale did not go toward the elevator lobby. Instead, they went into a secret entrance.
The entrance was specially built for celebrities and other influential figures.
'Luke is spending a lot of effort in keeping Ms. Riley safe,' Bianca thought.
Gale brought Bianca into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.
"Riley is on the top floor?" "Yes," Gale replied. He received a message through his Bluetooth earpiece informing him about the
situation upstairs.
Gale continued, "Riley is already awake. Dr. Johann is giving her an examination now." "Alright." Bianca and Gale stepped out of
the elevator.
Riley’s ward was on the right of the corridor. Two bodyguards dressed in black suits were standing outside the door like guardian
angels.
They turned their heads and greeted Bianca when they saw her. "Good morning, Madam."
Bianca nodded at them.
After Gale opened the door, Bianca could hear Riley crying. "Please, Doctor, return my child to me."
Johann read Riley's health report, seemingly immune to such pleadings." Sorry, we didn't manage to save your child. However,
you can still be pregnant if you take care of your health."
Bianca entered the ward and saw that Riley was crying pathetically." Everything was going fine. Why did you take my baby
away?"
Johann nodded and put the report away. "The patient's condition is stable, but she isn't in control of her emotions. We should get
a nurse to give her a dose of tranquilizer." "Thank you," Bianca said and went close to the bed.
Riley seemed to have found her savior when she saw Bianca. "Please take me out of here, Mrs. Crawford. I want to meet
Xavier."
She found herself imprisoned in the ward the moment she woke up. None of the people were willing to give her answers.
The child was no more. She had to find Xavier for an explanation!
"Are you sure?" Bianca kept a safe distance from her, seeing that her face was pale.
"Of course!" Riley noticed that the man standing next to Bianca was dressed the same as the bodyguards in the ward. She
seemed to have thought of something and looked at Bianca suspiciously. "Are you holding me captive here?" "I'm not holding
you captive. After the curettage procedure, you were unconscious for two days. Someone tried to poison you so that you would
never wake up, and Luke, my husband, got someone to protect you." Bianca told her the truth.
She could see that Riley wanted Xavier's protection.
However, Luke had told Bianca that Xavier had left the hospital after bringing Riley to the hospital and paying the bill. He did not
even wait for the results of the operation.
"That's not possible! There are laws in this country. You must be lying to be. You must be jealous that Xavier loves me. That's
why you keep her locked up here so that he can't visit me.” Riley's eyes widened drastically, and her expression turned savage.
Bianca took two steps back and sat on the couch. She glanced at Gale and wondered if she should tell Riley that Xavier had
never visited her for the past two days.
"Do you remember how you lost the child?" She asked.
Riley's body stiffened!
She might be unconscious for two days, but her memories were fresh in her mind.
After the banquet, the servant had told Riley that Lacey was inviting her to the lounge to discuss something. She did not want to
go at first, but the servant had wished her "Congratulations," which made her think that Lacey had finally recognized her
relationship with Xavier.
She could not find where Xavier was and went directly to the lounge.
There was no one in the lounge. While waiting inside, Riley felt someone pushing her from behind. She stumbled and managed
to grab onto the table before she fell.
She turned around and saw Melissa Lerche, Xavier's ex-fiancee.
She wanted to run away, but her pregnancy caused her to be clumsy. After Melissa pushed her on the floor, she punched and
kicked her until she lost consciousness.
Melissa was the one who killed her child!
Riley grabbed the bedsheets, and her expression turned sinister. How she wished she could tear Melissa into pieces to avenge
her dead child!
"Who was the one who harmed you?" Bianca asked.
Riley did not answer.
She had no need of telling Bianca the truth. She thought that Xavier would avenge her baby if she told him about it.
The man might be temperamental at times, but he seemed quite caring to the baby in her womb.
Bianca knew that Riley was thinking of something. She could have let Riley keep her secret, but she could not afford to do so.
It was vital that Riley cooperated with her.
Bianca's expression turned cold as she tried to provoke Riley. "Do you think that Xavier will protect you? After bringing you to the
hospital, he turned around and left. We're keeping you safe here, and the public thinks that you have disappeared. Xavier didn't
show up even after finding out about that." "That's not possible. You're lying!" Riley's body trembled in disbelief.
Gale took out a phone and placed it next to her. "This is your phone. I've been taking care of it ever since I received the order to
protect you, and I've kept its battery full. Xavier did not call you. Also, there are two videos in your camera roll that you might find
interesting. Take a look." "All of you are liars! You must have tampered with my phone!" Riley felt her throat tighten. She could
not believe that it was true.
The baby belonged to Xavier. He could not have been that merciless.
Bianca forced her to face the truth. "I have no interest in Xavier at all, Ms. Riley. If you think that we're lying to you, how about
watching the two videos before making that conclusion?"
Riley struggled internally for a while before picking up her phone with trembling hands and playing the video.
The first video showed a woman who was tied up. Her body was filled with injuries, and she was unresponsive to the question
from her interrogator.
