It was late at night. A black full-size Lincoln SUV is driving into an extravagant

mansion in A City's most expensive suburb.

Inside the mansion.

Bianca Rayne's eyes were covered with a silk blindfold.

He did not want her to know who he was.

"Don't be afraid. Take deep breaths.

"You can do it, Bianca. There's nothing more important than getting Dad a liver transplant so he can live. It's fine to sacrifice a little for Dad."

She could not ignore the sound of the car entering the mansion.

Now that it had come to this, all she could do was keep talking to herself, to persuade and comfort herself.

When Luke Crawford walked in, his body tall and his spine straight, he immediately saw Bianca, who was standing in his room. She was young, in the prime of her youth-

"H-Hello..." She could sense his body approaching, so she instinctively took a step back despite the blindfold, stuttering as she greeted him stiffly.

She had thought that the past few days of mental preparation had left her numb to everything, so she would not shy away. Now that it was actually time, though, she still could not help but feel scared. How pathetic.

The urge to run was strong.

Luke did not know if what he was doing tonight was right, but he did know that he desperately needed to find a woman and have a kid before his next birthday. That was what Old Master Crawford demanded.

Luke looked down on the petite girl from above. "What are you afraid of?"

The man's voice was deep, mellow, and mesmerizing.

Bianca was a little shocked. Why did he have such a young-sounding and melodious voice? How could a middle-aged old man have such an amazing voice?"

"I don't have any sexual diseases, neither do I have any sick fetishes," the man said, his voice deep and rich. He seemed to be comforting her.

He was certain that she was not shy. No, she was scared of him.

Before she could recover, she heard that man continue, "Let's begin."

The man spoke without warmth, as though he was announcing the start of a conference. He sounded so spectacularly solemn.
