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-fiancée.

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.
