Chapter 471: Bianca Peterson

The morning sun came basking into the tranquil room. As the cool breeze played along with the curtains, the figure sleeping on the bed slowly stirred.

As she tried to move her body she found it hard. Not only her head was throbbing but also her body was burning with fever.

"Ah, w-where am I?" She muttered finally witnessing her surroundings.

The place she was brought to wasn’t familiar to her.

"Did they-" her eyes widened in fear and she pushed her up, ready to run away.

"Ah..." Forcing herself she tried to climb down the bed but the moment her feet touched the cold floor to stand, she fell back.

She had no strength left within, but thinking she was brought back to the same place, her fears amplified.

Clutching the sheets with both her hands she mustered the strength and forced herself to stand when suddenly the door to her room opened and her head flung into it’s direction.

Her body shivered thinking about those men who tried to kill her, but when she saw the man walking inside her shoulder slumped down in relief and her eyes fluttered before rolling up and she passed out.

It had been hours since she slept but when something cold touched her forehead her eyes flung open and she gasped in shock.

Her heart raced in fear but then she heard a voice from the side and snapped her head in it’s direction.

"How do you feel now" Gabriel asked sitting on the chair next to her bed.

He had been putting on a cold water stripe on her forehead as she was burning with fever. Though her temperature was down now, still the girl looked pale.

Bianca couldn’t speak but as she kept observing the man he didn’t seem to be a threat and that made her drop her guard.

Moving her eyes towards the bedside table she pointed at the glass of water before looking at Gabriel.

"You want water?" he asked and the girl slowly bobbed her head.

Gabriel quickly got up and grabbed the glass of water before passing it to her.

"..."

"Oh, sorry" Keeping the glass back on the table, Gabriel first helped her sit on it and then passed her the glass of water.

Bianca slowly gulped down the water before passing it back to Gabriel. Lowering her head she started fidgeting

"I think you should rest. You still have a little fever" Gabriel said before getting up from his seat.

He didn’t want to make the girl feel uncomfortable due to his presence, so he decided to excuse himself giving her the time to rest.

Bianca on the other had snapped her head in his direction and frantically shook her head.

"N-No... You have already done enough. I’ll take my leave now" she said pulling away the duvet, ready to leave but Gabriel stopped her.

"No need to leave. You are still weak. I don’t want you to pass out again. So stay here until you recover. After that, you are free to leave. I won’t stop" With that he turned around and walked out of the room.

Bianca found the man rude as he spoke with her with a straight face but then she ignored everything knowing he was the one who helped her.

As she remained seated her mind drifted to the previous night’s incident and her lips trembled in fear.

Closing her eyes she released a shaky breath and then laid back on the bed with her eyes staring at the ceiling blankly.

As she looked ahead the door of her room once again opened and this time a maid entered inside with a tray of food.

"Miss, Young Master has asked you to eat something," she said placing the food and medicines on the side table.

Forcing herself up Bianca sat on the bed and bobbed her head. Once the maid was out of her sight, she opened the lid of the pot and soon the aromatic smell of vegetable soup hit her nostrils.

Unable to hold her hunger, she soon dived into the food and ended up finishing the entire bowl.

BURP!

Satisfied after consuming the delicious soup, Bianca then drank her medicine and soon drifted back to sleep.

Meanwhile, inside Lucas Hideout, the man roar at the three men who failed to kill one girl.

"You useless people. How can you not eliminate one woman and here you are standing and sharing your failure with me" Lucas lost his cools as his men returned without accomplishing their task.

The three men shivered at the sound of a dreadful voice and kneeled before him.

"Boss we tried our best to catch her but the girl was too smart. She tricked us" one of the men said.

Lucas’s blood boiled while listening to his excuse. Getting up from his seat he raised his wooden stick and smacked his head until he was knocked out

Thud!

The man fell down unconscious while the other two kneeled before Lucas gulped at their subordinate’s state.

Blood pooled around his head and they realized that if they happened to give any excuse, soon they would be the ones joining him.

Lucas’s lips twitched in annoyance as she shot his head at the other two. "Do you have anything to speak?" he asked.

The two men quickly shook their heads in fear. They didn’t dare to utter a word knowing how Lucas would silence them permanently.

"Now get up and find the girl before you two also end up joining your teammate" Lucas’s words startled the men and they quickly got up and rushed out of the room like rats.

Just when the two men left, Sandra walked into the same room and noticed Lucas’s tensed face.

As he processed further her eyes fell on the man who laid lip on the floor with blood oozing from his head.

Her brows knitted when she finally noticed the man and her head flung in his direction in shock.

"Why is he lying here?" she asked.

Sandra didn’t want to let negative thoughts irk her mind but watching the man they sent to kill the doctor who treated her while she drifted into a coma lay on the floor she felt the fear creep into her heart.

Lucas who failed to notice her presence snapped out of his thought and turned to face the anxious Sandra.

Staring at her for a few seconds he answered," They failed to kill the doctor"

A dreadful silence engulfed between the two but Sandra quickly snapped. "How can they fail to catch that woman? Didn’t you instruct them? You know we need to eliminate that woman before Tristan’s men get hold of her."

" I know, I know... you don’t have to remind me of that" Lucas snapped as he couldn’t handle her loud voice. Just like her, he was worried that Tristan’s men would find the girl.

Sandra frowned when Lucas raised his voice on her. Clenching her jaw in anger she said," Find her before it’s too late Lucas. We can’t risk anything this time" With a last warning she turned around glanced at the man, and dashed out of the room.

Meanwhile, inside Gabriel’s room, he was busy finding clues about the new stuff that Jennifer hired for herself. He found it a little hard to get through her information as the details were kept hidden.

Not only did she hide her face but even her name was hidden from the rest of the staff.

"How am I supposed to find who she is?" he muttered closing the file that consisted of information about Jennifer and the people who worked for her before leaning back on his chair and closed his eyes.

As he was busy thinking someone knocked on the door and his eyes flung open.

"Come in" Composing himself he watched the maid enter the room.

"Young Master, as per your instruction I gave the Miss food and prescribed medicine and now she is resting"

"Good. Make sure to monitor her fever. She seems too weak to even stand on her own" he said and soon the maid left.

Staring at the closed door, Gabriel then got up from the chair and walked to the bedside table. Opening the drawer he pulled out an identity card and stared at the picture.

"Bianca Peterson, Age: 26, Occupation: Surgeon at Fortis Plus hospital" The moment he read those last words, his eyes darkened in doubt.

Fortis Plus Hospital was the same place where they had located Sandra’s whereabouts but when their men went to inquire, they found nothing except for the fact that there was a patient who was admitted there a few days but was taken away even before she could recover.

They assumed that patient to be Sandra if not then why would she run away.

Clenching the card firmly in his hand Gabriel shoved it back into the drawer and said, "I need to interrogate her once she recovers"
