Chapter 719 - Punish The Culprit
~ At Chou Hospital ~
Bianca already regained consciousness but because of the anesthesia and her frail body, she ended up falling asleep again.
Yuri checked her conditions. Fortunately, she was now stable so Yuri informed Clifford that they could already move Bianca to a private ward.
Clifford didn't sleep the entire night. He just stayed awake, watching over Bianca. He felt tired but he couldn't sleep because he was waiting for Bianca to wake up.
She opened her eyes for a short period and fell asleep again so Clifford was not able to talk to her. But he felt relieved since Bianca's condition was now stable.
The nurses moved Bianca to her private room. Clifford chose a private ward exclusive only for VIP patients.. He wanted to ensure that Bianca would receive high-quality service and special treatment from this hospital.
He didn't care if he would spend money, as long as Bianca would feel comfortable as she stayed in the hospital. He was still feeling guilty and blaming himself for what happened to Bianca.
After a few minutes, Bianca was transferred to the VIP ward. The ward was very spacious as if they were inside a hotel's VIP suite.
There was a flat TV screen, a set of sofas, and an extra bed where the guardian could sleep and rest while watching over the patient. There was also a bathroom and comfort room inside the VIP ward.
Clifford sat on the vacant chair, located near Bianca's sickbed. Unknowingly, he reached out to touch Bianca's face.
He still couldn't believe that Bianca sacrificed herself just to save him. He kept on asking himself if he was worth saving.
He and Bianca were not even close. He even caused trouble to Bianca when he tried to pursue Zhen-Zhen also known as Lillie Davis.
He knew that he left a bad impression on Bianca the first time they met. He even filed a complaint against Bianca when she beat him up.
However, despite those things, Bianca still saved him, not only once but twice already. He had to admit that he was really touched and grateful to her.
Clifford wanted to caress her face but he hesitated. He retreated his hand and just grabbed Bianca's hand. He squeezed her hand slightly.
"Get well soon, Bianca… Recover fast."
After a while, Clifford fell asleep while leaning over her bed. He was still holding Bianca's hand, not letting her go.

Meanwhile, at the Davis Mansion, the Davis Family was having their breakfast in the dining area.
Alveena already looked good compared to last night. Andrew was making sure that she would no longer feel scared because of what happened.
Zhen-Zhen also comforted her friend, Alveena. Isabelle and Lucas were also showing their concern to Alveena as they tried to entertain her for her to forget the unpleasant memory of the kidnapping incident.
After breakfast, Grandpa Lu summoned Tristan and Andrew to his study. Since Tristan and Andrew were talking to Grandpa Lu, Zhen-Zhen and Alveena got the chance to talk privately in the garden.
Alveena told Zhen-Zhen the whole story, starting from when Bishop and his men broke into Andrew's place. Alveena opened up to Zhen-Zhen, sharing her experiences and her fears.
"I am really grateful to your husband, to my brother, and to Bianca, Lillie. I really thought they wouldn't come on time. But they saved us at the most crucial time," Alveena said to Zhen-Zhen, expressing her gratitude.
The two ladies were sitting on the bench in the middle of the garden. Zhen-Zhen grabbed Alveena's hands, squeezing them gently to reassure her.
"Let's visit Bianca later. I also want to see her," Zhen-Zhen softly mumbled.
Alveena smiled faintly before nodding her head.
"My brother informed me that Bianca was already transferred to the ward. Her condition is now stable," Alveena informed Zhen-Zhen.
Zhen-Zhen heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.
"I'm so glad that Bianca is now doing fine. She's a great bodyguard. I admire her for protecting you, Andrew and Clifford."
Alveena remembered something so she decided to ask Zhen-Zhen about it.
"Lillie, honestly, your husband played a big role in saving us and protecting us also. Are you aware that your husband, Tristan, has a superpower?" Alveena said exasperatedly.
She began telling Zhen-Zhen what happened in the warehouse.
"He suddenly appeared from out of nowhere. If not for him, I would have been shot. Then the bullets couldn't penetrate his body. And he has extraordinary strength! One punch from him sent a man flying! He even teleported in front of us!" Alveena spoke spontaneously as she reported everything to Zhen-Zhen. Her eyes were sparkling with amusement.
"I wanted to ask Tristan more but everyone got occupied last night and we didn't have the chance to talk again," Alveena added, hoping that Zhen-Zhen could satisfy her curiosity.
"Lillie, what do you know about Tristan's power? Is the Heaven Star Enterprise working on some human experiment?" Alveena asked her expectantly.
Zhen-Zhen couldn't help but giggle when she heard those words from Alveena.
"Do you really wanna know the truth behind Tristan's power?"
Alveena bobbed her head vigorously. Zhen-Zhen could see the interest in Alveena's eyes.
"Alveena, the Davis Family has a secret. Since you are now part of the Davis Family, you are obliged to keep this secret. If you say this to anyone, I will spank you." Zhen-Zhen said jokingly, winking at Alveena.
Alveena couldn't help but giggle because of Zhen-Zhen's remarks.
"I promise, I won't tell anyone!" She said with so much conviction in her words.
"The truth is… I have powers… and I lent Tristan some of my powers yesterday."
Alveena: "..."
She didn't expect to hear that from Zhen-Zhen.
"Lillie, are you still joking?"
Zhen-Zhen giggled before answering her. She decided to show and tell Alveena about her power.

Meanwhile, inside Grandpa Lu's study, Tristan and Andrew were now waiting for Grandpa Lu to say something.
He sat on the chair, facing Tristan and Andrew. Grandpa Lu just finished talking to Uno. Uno reported everything to Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu's expression could no longer be painted. He looked so furious.
"Andrew, Tristan… Listen to me carefully."
Tristan and Andrew focused their attention on Grandpa Lu.
"I got the report from Eagles… Hannah's father… has something to do with both the incidents. He is the mastermind for kidnapping Andrew and Alveena as well as the accident of Lillie!"
"Hannah is your friend, Tristan, and former lover of you, Andrew. But after knowing this, I can't let this slide and have to do something against the Miller Family. And this time, I will not be forgiving… I'm saying this because I don't want you to stop me from punishing the Millers just because of Hannah."
Grandpa Lu was very serious while saying those words. Andrew was shocked upon hearing the truth. But Tristan had already expected this. He already had suspicions.
Andrew and Tristan exchanged meaningful glances at Grandpa Lu before nodding their heads.
"Grandpa, I will not oppose your decision. What he did was unforgivable. What if my brother and Alveena's brother didn't come on time? Those men would have ruined Alveena's life." Andrew shared his thoughts with them.
"Me too, Grandpa. The culprit should be punished no matter what." Tristan also agreed.
