Chapter 467

In the mansion.

Luke stood on the spacious balcony. He smoked cigarette after cigarette, and his gaze fell on the blooming cherry blossoms downstairs.

The cherry tree was filled with flowers. The petals fell as the wind blew past, and the ground seemed to be covered in a pink carpet.

Bianca loved plants, and that was why that mansion had a lush garden. It was Luke's present for her.

He wanted to give her a surprise, but unexpectedly...

Luke narrowed his eyes as he looked at the falling cherry blossom petals. He stubbed out the cigarette and flicked it into a nearby ashtray.

Then, he walked toward the master bedroom.

The door opened.

In the room were two caretakers that were currently nursing Bianca.

They stood up when they saw Luke enter. "Mr. Crawford," they greeted him respectfully.

A hint of dearness flashed in Luke's eyes as he looked at Bianca's pale face. "How is the missus?"

One of the caretakers replied, "Dr. Sykes had given her an injection an hour ago, and her fever has subsided. She is still sleeping, perhaps she is too tired..."

Luke waved at them, instructing them to leave the room.

The two caretakers left the room while carefully closing the door behind them.

Only he and Bianca remained in the room.

Luke sat next to the bed, and his palm gently caressed her cheek.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon. The warm rays of sunshine fell on her face.

The woman's face was pale, and her brows were tightly furrowed. That was a sign that she was not in a good mood.

That made him feel sorry for her.

Hours ago, her rejection of his proposal was as painful as countless needles stabbing into his heart.

He knew that the rejection was most likely not her intention, but he was nonetheless very bothered by it.

He had thought of staying single for all his life until he met her. He wanted so much to make her Mrs.
