After falling into the pond and being bitten by a sea snake, Leia suffered from temporary shock and
was hospitalized. She was lucky that she survived, but the show had to be paused. Theizens had
many discussions about her love triangle with Xavier and Santiago-some liked her, some hated her,
and some kept a neutral stand. Some liked Xavier, some liked Santiago, and some liked Leia, and
those three groups had endless fights on the Inte, making the three people very famous. Leia was
practically a superstar.
After being rescued, Leia suffered from a temporary sequ-she lost her voice and couldn’t speak.
During her hospitalization, both Xavier and Santiago took turns taking care of her, creating a strange
battlefield in her ward. That day, Xavier went to Leia’s ward early after settling hispany’s affairs,
but Santiago was earlier than him. The generally quiet and handsome superstar behaved like a
comedian, telling jokes while peeling fruits for Leia and making herugh. “Lei, eat this apple. I’ll tell
you another joke.” Santiago gently cut the peeled apple into pieces and put some toothpicks on them
before handing them to Leia.
Leia nodded, looking at Santiago eagerly. Since she couldn’t speak, her expression was soft and sweet
as she smiled at Santiago. It was vastly different from her usual casual and rough behaviour.
“I met a priest once. He told me that ghosts are fiercest after midnight every Sunday. Do you know
why?” Santiago asked Leia with a mysterious smile.
Leia used her phone to type out, “Why? Is it because of opposing forces or the five elements? Tell me!”
Leia was a fan of metaphysics and fortelling, so she was very interested in Santiago’s questions.
“Because then it’d be Monday, and the ghosts don’t want to go to work!” “The ghosts… don’t want to go
to work?” Blinking, Leia’s mind processed his words, then she broke out into an amused grin and
punched Santiago’s arm yfully. “What a corny joke! Mr. Dalton, you told such a bad joke.” “Haha!
Isn’t it interesting? I’ve got a lot more. Do you want to hear more?”

Santiago had almost exhausted all his jokes. He was used to others trying to please him, so he never
had toe up with things to say, but this was different. Since Leia couldn’t speak, he wanted to
lighten the mood and take care of her, so he bought a book on jokes to amuse Leia every day. Soon,
he realized he’d be more light-hearted and funny too.
“How boring!”
