Chapter 57 I Really Want To Eat You Up And Carry You Around Wherever I Go
Kevin had a headache all night after returning home.
Jennifer turned the entire house upside down, looking for the contract papers.
After searching for a long time, she muttered to Marie, "Kevin's playing tricks with me. Why the hell is he not dead yet!"
"What are you on about? Can we still get the compensation for demolition if he's dead right now? It's hundreds of thousands! You've never seen that much money in your lifetime." Marie helped her mother out and frowned. She whispered, "If he's gonna die, he should hold it until we get our hands on that money."
'This is all your fault that I have to live in this sort of difficult life with him." Jennifer moved a stool and looked for it on the top of the shoe cabinet.
An hour had passed, and the mother and daughter’s search ended in vain.
Jennifer disdainfully went into the bedroom and made sure that Kevin was asleep before coming out. Then, she went to the dining area to eat the takeaway her daughter ordered.
As they munched on the crayfish, Marie asked, "Mom, who do you think he married when he was younger? The man of his stature. What's the need to hide the identity of his ex-wife from US?"
"Are you stupid? His ex-wife moved on to a better life after remarrying.
That kind of woman is most afraid of her dirty past getting exposed." Jennifer was not planning on giving up. She would continue to look for those papers. She needed to see that woman's name.
Marie ate a crayfish and continued to peel another, "I have collected photos of all the ladies in our city in magazines and newspapers, but I don't think any of them looked like Bianca."
"Bianca's birth mother is heartless as well. She had never seen her again after leaving her behind for more than 20 years. The daughter that she gave birth to," Jennifer sighed twice.
The next day, Kevin went out.
Marie listened to her mother and trailed him from behind.
It was a shame that she failed to do it yesterday. Otherwise, she would have seen Bianca's sacred biological mother!
Kevin took a cab and came to an ordinary cafe.
Marie looked in and dialed her mother's number. "Uncle Kevin's not meeting his ex-wife. He's here to see Bianca."
'That b*stard that just refused to drop dead!" Jennifer was fuming on the other line. "He wants to give the compensation money to his daughter? Hell no, I won't let that b*tch get a single cent!"
In the cafe, Kevin lowered his head and stirred a cup of cappuccino.
She discovered a year ago that her father was alienating himself from her. It made her feel uncomfortable for more than a year now, especially whenever she visited City A. She knew that her father was here and at home, but she was unable to visit. 1
"I heard that you and Jean broke up?" Kevin asked bluntly.
"Oh, yeah." 1
Bianca raised her head slightly and looked at her father's face that was too old for his age.
As a daughter, she obviously felt bad for her father. She hid the distress in her eyes and did not speak of it, out of fear that her dad would walk away again even though she had no clue as to why her father was distancing himself from her.
Kevin took out a medical record with trembling hands and placed it on the coffee table.
'This is..." Before Bianca could finish her sentence, she saw the words ' Medical Records' on it.
She took it and flipped through before taking a horrified breath. "How's this possible?!"
Kevin was running out of time. He had cancer five years ago and barely escaped death's door. But now, he even had lung cancer...
"It's lung cancer, and it’s terminal," Kevin said. The two apparent lung cancer symptoms- shortness of breath and chest pain had brought him a lot of pain. "I refused to meet up with you before because I wanted you to learn to live independently and live without a father. I wanted you to adapt. You didn't grow up with a mother, yet you've turned out ten million times better than other people’s children. You have a sense of righteousness, sensible, and filial..."
Bianca held the medical record in her hand; tears streamed down without warning.
"Before I die, daddy's still worried about you the most." Kevin pretended to smile lightly, yet his eyes showed sorrow. "Marriages are of the utmost importance, Bea. Since you broke up with Jean, dad thought that before dad passes on, you'd be able to find a suitable match. That way, daddy can feel rest assured, and watch you be happy." 1
Bianca merely listened.
"Also, the house in our hometown’s getting demolished soon. Dad intended to save a sum of money for you. So if there’s trouble in your marriage in the future, it can be used in an emergency. Of course, dad
does not mean to make an inauspicious prediction. Furthermore, any man that my daughter chose would be loyal, dedicated, and affectionate," Kevin continued.
Bianca noticed that the medical record was from one year ago, which was when her father alienated her.
"Dad... How could you hide such a serious illness from me?"
Bianca almost collapsed from devastation.
He should have been treated long ago. What if it was curable?
Half an hour later.
Bianca was the only person left in the cafe.
Kevin did not want to devastate his daughter further, so he looked for an excuse to leave.
Next to the coffee cup, there was a medical record and a note.
Bianca's eyes were red and swollen from tears. She stared at the medical record for a long time. The tears flowed more and more, and she could not understand why good people were repeatedly cursed.
When she left the coffee shop, Bianca called her father and said, "Let's get you hospitalized. Perhaps there's a chance you’d get better..."
Five years ago, she was able to get his life back, right?
"Go to a blind date and see if it's a match, then dad will decide whether to stay in the hospital or not.” Kevin was more concerned about this matter than his health. He believed that Allison would never do anything to her own daughter.
"I'll go. I'll be there," Bianca nodded. Tears started flowing once more when she heard her father’s voice again.
At the crossroad where the breeze was blowing, Bianca ended the conversation with her father and looked at the busy street. She was crying pitifully as if she was in a world of pain. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
After finally getting through the weekend, Bianca was preparing to head out with a bare face. 1
Nina looked at her by the door and commented, "Forget about the blind date, Bea. But, don’t you have that gathering party with your classmates tonight? Are you sure you don’t want to put on some make- up to meet up with your old friends?"
Bianca shook her head. She was not in the mood to put on make-up, nor did she have the habit of making-up.
"Sigh, okay. You look delicate and sweet-tempered anyway, and there's a quality in being bare-faced. Cheer up; Uncle will get better!" Nina said sincerely.
She continued a few more words while sending Bianca to the elevator door.
Bianca went downstairs and was still heavily affected by her father's lung cancer news.
She walked with her head down; her curled eyelashes flickered a few times. In a flash, her wrist was suddenly grabbed from behind. When she turned around, she saw the man’s delicately robust features and was taken to the back of his car. When she was in bewilderment, her whole body was wrapped tightly by the man as he gave her a familiar yet overbearing kiss.
He held onto her and sucked repeatedly.
The man’s familiar lips and familiar breath made her feel choked up...
Luke had only been on a business trip for a few days, but his thoughts for her had been quietly overflowing. He was busy day and night and finally rushed back on the weekend. The first thing he did was see her, kiss her, and touch her... 4
Perhaps due to the loneliness, Bianca did not resist his approach.
It was not until ten minutes had passed that she finally sensed the tender flesh in her lips had been slightly broken into by the man's sucking. He stopped and pressed his thin lips against her ears, slowly pouring out words into her cochlea. "I really want to eat you up and carry you around wherever I go. Just imprison you inside my body!"
