SWNOVELS Chapter 49
Chapter 49 A Peculiar Tremble...
A blush crept up Bianca's face.
The lady next to her was not at all restricted with the topics she conversed with Bianca. Instead, she was excitedly chatting about
any topic under the sun without the slightest care if there were any men nearby.
'Spill it to me, I'm very curious!" The lady next to Bianca had a look of anticipation on her face.
Bianca was dumbfounded to find that sex-related topics that used to be frowned upon by the society were now being discussed
so openly.
"He isn't..." Bianca shook her head.
However, Bianca's 'he isn't my husband' had not been completed when the lady next to her discreetly turned to look behind
Bianca with a lustful gaze directed at Luke.
Subsequently, the lady turned around to interrupt Bianca. The lady blushed as she said, "We’re both women. We’ve surely done
it with our husbands. What is there to be shy about? Can share some details with me? How many sessions do both of you have
in a week? I can see with just a look that your man is very skilled..."
The lady once again shifted her admiring gaze to Luke's body. He was seated not too far behind. She mumbled, "Even his body
carries the overbearing sense that he can make a woman climax countless times anytime and anywhere..."
Bianca was rendered speechless.
She felt that she could not continue on with this topic.
Firstly, Luke Crawford was not her husband, and neither did she dare to tempt herself with that thought. Secondly, she did not
want to observe nor check if Luke did carry the overbearing sense that he could make a woman climax countless of times.
"Excuse me, I need to use the ladies' room." Bianca picked up her handbag and created an excuse to leave the nosy lady.
After exiting the washroom, Bianca looked for a relatively secluded place to sit down.
She sat in the waiting area for about 20 minutes before her number was called.
Bianca stood up, opened the doctor's consultation room door, and walked in. She followed the instructions of the doctor to
remove her skirt and underwear before she laid down on the bed to wait for her examination to commence.
"Lie down lower, further down," the lady doctor in her fifties said after giving Bianca a glance.
Bianca shimmied downward upon hearing the instructions.
Bend your knees and spread your thighs. Open wider," the lady doctor said. Once Bianca was in a good position, the doctor
asked again, "Name?"
"Bianca Rayne," came the reply.
Gynecology examination was not something new to Bianca. The first time she underwent a gynecology examination was on a
fine day five years ago. Before she had the privilege of bearing a child for that man, she had to ensure that her body was in good
health. 1
She could not erase that memory for a lifetime. She had been stripped naked, interviewed with tons of questions, and examined
by all that icy cold apparatus. She had to go through the long and arduous process.
At that time, she felt ashamed and angry at the same time.
Although that experience was five years ago, she could not help recalling that whenever she went for a gynecology examination.
The examination was done in less than five minutes.
Bianca got down from that small bed. She looked down and huffed softly. She cleaned herself up before anxiously getting
dressed. She then followed the lady doctor out.
After the examination, she sat back in the waiting area to wait for her results.
Outside, those who had completed their examination went in one after the other to get their results.
When her name was called, Bianca stood up. However, she noticed that at one secluded corner of the waiting area, a man stood
up as well.
He walked in the direction of the doctor's office.
Bianca stood still and looked at him.
'Is he planning to go in with me?
Since they were not husband and wife, it was rather inappropriate of a man to listen along during a woman's gynecology
consultation.
"If there are any problems, I want an immediate follow-up. I will not allow you to take your health lightly." Every word that Luke
spoke was full of vigor. That deep voice was so overbearing that it did not give any room for a refusal.
Bianca frowned and wanted to say 'no'.
However, while in the community hospital, Bianca was asked by a random lady regarding their 'marital life'. Perhaps it meant that
society had become very open and realistic about these things.
Things were no longer the same as when she was 17 or 18 years old when society shied away from the taboo topic about sex.
Luke Crawford was a successful businessman who had taken over the whole Crawford empire without any early foundation. It
proved that he was no ordinary man. Every successful man had one thing in common, and that is they would weigh the pros and
cons before doing anything.
For these men, relationships were ranked the cheapest and unworthiest.
Perhaps what Luke was concerned about was if she carried any serious illnesses that could infect a man. Dr. Joyce had been
too rushed in her consultation. She only addressed the acute problem and did not delve deeper into things.
What sort of illnesses could be spread to a man that made men so fearful?
Syphilis? AIDS?
As Luke acted like her husband and entered the doctor's consultation room together with her, a dark thought occurred in
Bianca's mind. What if the doctor misdiagnosed and announced that she had AIDS? 1
She looked forward to seeing how the man next to her would react when the news was broken to them.
Would he be so frightened that he would immediately dash out the door and never wish to see her again?
After a long time, Bianca found out that tests for any sexually transmitted diseases had to be done at the tertiary hospitals where
they had labs to specially test those. The community hospitals did not carry such facilities.
"Doctor, about my condition..." Bianca was rather nervous.
The doctor looked down at her notes and said, "Everything seems fine. You just need to be careful not to catch a cold, avoid
strenuous physical activities, and get adequate rest."
The doctor then looked up to observe Bianca. "Based on your attire, you must be an office worker, I suppose. Try to avoid
wearing high heels whenever you can for the time being."
Bianca nodded. "Okay."
'There's no serious problem, so don't scare yourself too much. I'll prescribe you some medications which you can easily get from
any pharmacy." Once the prescription was written, the doctor noticed the man standing next to Bianca and saw that he only had
eyes for his wife. The doctor could not help but throw in a word of reassurance, "Don’t worry, your wife is in good health. I've
scanned her ovaries and uterus. Everything seems to be well. Her pelvic bones are in good shape as well. From my years of
experience, she seems quite fertile." 1
Bianca flushed red once again. Somehow the saying ‘big butt indicates fertility' appeared in her mind. 2
She could not remember exactly where she had heard that. Perhaps it was during her studies overseas when the Chinese
students joked about this during gatherings. Or perhaps it was from the time she visited her grandfather and accidentally heard it
from the womenfolk when they were chatting.
Whatever the case, the doctor's mention of her being 'fertile' was embarrassing enough. In addition to that, it was mentioned in
front of this man.
Bianca left the community hospital once she received her report.
"Mr. Crawford, I shall get back home to rest," she said to the man next to her without looking up.
'TH walk you to the entrance."
Luke once again took out his coat and draped it over her shoulders. He had predicted that she would reject it, thus he firmly
pressed on her shoulders the moment he put it on her.
Bianca breathed in his scent from the coat and felt uncomfortably awkward. She looked up at him and decided that she needed
to reject his advance. 1
Luke's gaze was firm. 'The doctor said that you can't catch a cold."
Bianca could not find it in her to get used to such lavish concern. However, upon further thought, if she did not want to spend a
longer time with him arguing about this, she would just have to do as he said. Once she got home, he would then leave. That
way, it would be short and simple.
With that thought, she turned and headed for her residential area.
The man's steady steps followed behind at a suitable distance. He made sure they had some distance between them, but it was
close enough to make it seem like they had some relationship going on. 1
Despite the cool breeze blowing her way, she did not feel cold at all. Instead, she was feeling rather warm. She was trembling,
and her heart was racing...
