Luca nodded. She was relieved that Luke was going to have a chat with Jack and Queenie.


    After all, Leia did not have the money to buy the organs she needed from the ck market. She was


    only worried that Queenie would not want to see Leia suffer and give her the money to do so.


    If she did that, Jack would be impacted badly.


    After Luke drove Luca back to the apartment, he received a call from Jason and hurried back to the


    company to deal with work.


    Luca returned to the apartment and turned on the TV. The economic segment happened to be ying.


    She opened the refrigerator and heard the news that Pierre''spany was in the final stages of


    signing a contract to coborate with a well-known foreignpany.


    Economists pointed out that if this partnership was sessful, Pierre''spany would be one of


    the top tenpanies in A City at record speed that many young entrepreneurs could not even hope of


    achieving.


    Luca frowned when she heard what the economists said. She picked up the phone and searched for


    the overseaspany that Pierre was going to partner with.


    She found it odd after she read about it.


    It was not a well-knownpany but its capital was surprisingly strong. She read further, and the


    corners of her mouth twitched when she saw the corporate legal person shown on the webpage.


    Abel was making a move.


    Based on the current situation, Abel had already roped in Pierre. If the partnership was sessful,


    Pierre''spany would go close to bankruptcy.


    When she thought about how Pierre treated her prior, she swore to herself that she would not let him


    off easy!


    Luca thought that to herself and switched off the TV.


    In the hospital.


    Leia opened her eyes slowly, not knowing what was going on.


    When Queenie saw Leia wake up, she immediately rushed forward and asked with concern, "Leia, how


    are you feeling now?"


    Leia looked at her mother and remembered that she had fainted. She asked weakly, "I''m in the


    hospital?"


    "Yeah, you fainted at home from pain, so I sent you to the hospital. I''m d you''ve woken up. You


    scared me..." Queenie wiped her tears as she spoke. She only had one daughter by her side now, so


    Leia was especially precious to her.


    Leia nced around and saw that she was indeed in a hospital. There was monitoring equipment by


    the bedside.

    Her tone was furious as she shouted, "Why did you send me to the hospital? Didn''t you ask Luca to


    come over?"


    "You had already passed out. I was worried, so I sent you to the hospital. Luca couldn''t rush over in


    time. She suggested that I send you to the hospital and I went with her suggestion," Queenie


    exined. She did not mind Leia''s aggressive tone after considering the difort she was in.


    "I don''t want to stay in the hospital. Ask her toe over to our ce. After all, I won''t die from this


    illness right now." Leia knew that she fell ill because she did not take Bianca''s medicine. Even if she


    was not a big fan of Luca, she had to admit that she was indeed capable.


    Therefore, she thought that as long as Luca was willing to save her, she would be fine.


    "Luca came to the hospital and treated you with dry needling. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have woken up


    so soon." Queenie knew Leia had misunderstood Luca. Luca helped her time and again, so she could


    not bear to see Leia continue to use her.


    Leia snorted coldly and said, "Do you believe in everything she says? If she had really treated me, I


    wouldn''t have to stay in this horrible hospital."


    Johann walked in from outside the ward and said, "Ms. Norman, if you''re not satisfied with our hospital,


    you can go through the discharge procedures any time. But in your current situation, if you remove the


    instrument and needles, you may not even be able to make it to the elevator.”


    Leia opened her mouth in surprise when she saw Johann. She looked at Queenie and uttered, "How


    did he get in?"


    "Leia, your primary doctor is Dr. Park. He''s an expert in this area. Enough with the nonsense." If she


    were not worried that Johann would tip off Luke, she also hoped that he would treat Leia.


    After all, Johann was famous in A City and even in the whole country. Many wealthy businessmen from


    other cities sought him for surgery and medical treatment. They had to book him months in advance


    even if they were loaded.


    "Mom, he''s..." Leia thought of Luke and did not continue talking. He was Luke''s friend. Now that he saw


    her, did it mean that Luke knew that she was back in A City?


    In that case, she would have to be sent back to New York.


    Leia did not want to leave. The panic and worry in her eyes grew.


    Queenie knew what she was afraid of, so she immediately reassured Leia. "Don''t worry, I''ve signed a


    doctor-patient confidentiality agreement with Dr. Park. He won''t say anything."


    Leia was still frightened and said, "Even if you''ve signed an agreement with him, he''ll still tell him.


    When that happens, he will definitely send me back to New York! Mom, I don''t want to go back to New


    York. I want to stay by your side. When I feel better, I can take good care of you and Dad."


    Johann heard her and restrained his smile, pretending to be serious as he said, "Ms. Norman, although


    I don''t know who you''re talking about, do put your trust in me. I''m a doctor with ethics. Once the patient


    has signed an agreement, I''ll oblige by it. I will never disclose your condition to those who are


    irrelevant."


    Hearing this, Leia looked at him suspiciously.


    Johann reassured her. "I''m a man of integrity. Plus, I''ve signed an agreement."


    He would not have to tell Luke anything because he already knew about Leia''s situation. There was not


    much for him to say.


    Leia heard him and reluctantly chose to believe him.


    Although Johann was Luke''s friend, his medical skills were out of this world.


    Seeing that she no longer questioned him, Johann went straight into the topic. "Ms. Norman, the


    results of your blood test and other tests havee out. Afterparing your current indicators with


    your test results from yourst visit, we found that your condition is much worse. I heard that you


    stopped taking the herbal concoction without authorization and only took the medicine, right? It seems


    that the medicine isn''t very effective in managing your condition. I would still rmend that you take


    the herbal concoction."


    "Herbal concoction?" Leia remembered the concoction that Luca had prescribed to her before. After


    she took it, her condition was indeed much more stable, but at that time, she was arrogant and thought


    it was because of the medicine.


    She felt a little regretful. She should not have stopped taking the herbal concoction just because she


    was angry.


    If she had taken it, she might not have ended up in the hospital again.


    Leia said weakly, "Did you prescribe the concoction?"


    "No, it''s the prescription prepared by Dr. Craw," Johann said. "The hospital has prepared the


    concoction based on the prescription. When it''s ready, we''ll send it over to your ward. You should drink


    it while it''s hot."


    When Leia heard that Luca had prescribed the concoction, she did notment on it. She asked


    again, "My health is much worse now, isn''t it?"


    "Yes," Johann nodded. "The nurse will put all the reports in your medical record in a moment and send


    them over."
