Johann''s gaze became sharp at once, then he replied, "Miss, you''ll have to be responsible for what you
said just now if the hospital looks into this matter. Half of the cigarette Ms. Norman smoked was taken
away by the nurse yesterday. She did not throw it away. Theboratory test report came out today. The
cigarette contains herbal ingredients that are not added to other cigarettes. It can harm every organ in
the human body, which exins Ms. Norman''s situation now. It caused her liver to worsen when it was
already not functioning properly. You''re the one who gave her the cigarette. Now, she''s lying on the
bed, unconscious. You''re responsible for this."
Mandy took a few steps backward, shook her head, and said, "I don''t know about that. It was Leia who
said she wanted to smoke. Please excuse me. I should leave."
She immediately left after that.
Queenie stomped angrily. Leia told her that one of her best friends who lived abroad had returned
yesterday. She had been abroad for many years, so she did not know the situation in the country. That
was why she would not inform Luke about her whereabouts.
Queenie thought that Leia would not fuss over getting discharged from the hospital if someone was
here to keep Leiapany and talk to her.
She did not expect the arrival of this woman to screw things up and put Leia in danger.
As Luca watched Mandy leave from behind, she suddenly remembered what Luke had told her. She
frowned and pondered.
“That should be her,” said Johann.
Luca nodded. That woman should be the one who fled, but it was up to Queenie whether she wanted
to get even with her for this.
Queenie walked toward Leia''s ward bed with reddened eyes. She could not help but sob. “Leia, look at
the friends you''ve found. She''s the one who made you sick. What should I do..."
Luca could not bear to hear Queenie sobbing like that. She nced at Leia, who was lying on the ward
bed. It was as though Leia had nothing to do with this.
It was her weak body that made her fall deeply asleep.
"Dr. Park, I''d like to try.." said Luca. She hesitated at first, but she could not bear to see Queenie cry
again.
Queenie was her biological mother, after all. Luca hated to see her like this.
"Okay. Did you bring the needles you usually use?" Johann knew Luca had a set of needles that was
specially made for dry needling. Luca would feel morefortable using them.
“Yes..." Luca nodded as she walked toward the ward bed and looked at Leia.
She had no confidence today, but she wanted to wake Leia up so that Queenie would not be worried
about her. It was up to Johann how he was going to treat her.
“Luca.." Queenie lifted her head as her eyes welled up with tears.
Luca looked at Queenie''s hair. As someone who was always concerned about her appearance,
Queenie was worried about Leia to the extent that she could not be bothered about her looks. There
were a few strands of gray hair at her temples.
She was a senior official’s wife.
However, she was so pale and haggard now.
“Mrs. Norman, please step out for a moment," said Luca. She was worried that Queenie would pass
out when she watched Luca perform the dry needling on Leia.
Queenie was worried that she would affect Luca too. She wiped her tears, quickly walked out of the
ward, and closed the door.
Luca took the set of needles out of her briefcase.
“This is myst set of needles. I’ll have to look for the craftsman to customize another set of needles
after this," Luca muttered. She did not expect that the needle sets she brought along with her would
finish so quickly.
Besides, Luca dared not to ask for the needle sets from Shanks. If Abel found out that she was not
carrying out the mission he had assigned her but was doing such things instead, she dared not to
imagine what the consequences would be.
However, the needles. Other than the thickness, she had requirements for the weight of the needles
too. If the needles did not meet her requirements by a whisker, it would affect her sense of touch.
The most important thing was no matter how good the craftsman was, there was no fixed mold.
“I know a craftsman. He can help to customize the needles. If you’re looking for someone to make a
new set of needles, you can pass the needle set to me after this. I’ll ask him if he can make these,"
Johann suggested.
“Thank you." Luca nodded. Then, she put on the disposable medical gloves and unbuttoned the
hospital gown Leia was wearing.
There were no gender differences in front of the doctors. Luca did not ask Johann to go out. Instead,
she picked up the disinfected needles and began to perform dry needling on Leia in front of him.
Half an hourter, Luca removed all the needles on Leia''s body and carefully put them aside. She said,
"Let''s see if she can wake up now."
"Why didn’t you wait until she''s awake before removing the needles?" Johann asked with confusion.
Luca helped Leia to put on the hospital gown, looked at the monitoring equipment, and replied, "She''s
too weak. I''m afraid she can''t take it."
Johann nodded, indicating that he understood.
There were times when Luca was bold enough. It was just like when she was performing dry needling
on Tyronest time. She did not make any minor mistakes.
However, Luca was also very careful at times. It was probably because the person in front of her was
rted to Queenie. She was afraid that her boldness would make Queenie cry. That was why she was
so careful, and she was not as efficient as she used to be when she was performing dry needling.
Once someone had feelings and something to worry about, the way they handled things would
change...
Johann had seen too many of such situations.
“Dr. Park, sorry to trouble you." Luca handed the needle set to Johann after she disinfected the
needles.
"I''ll try my best. But if the craftsman is unable to make these, then I guess no one else in A City can
make these. When the timees, you might need to ask your guy to look for someone else," said
Johann as he took the needle set from her.
Her guy.
Luca''s face reddened as Johann teased her. She wondered if sharing secrets was something men
would do too.
Otherwise, why would Johann say something like that?
"Please ask Mrs. Norman toe in. She must be worried," replied Luca. She made her way to the
door and opened it.
Queenie was waiting outside the door. She asked her immediately as soon as she saw her, "Luca,
how''s Leia?"
"We''ll have to wait now and see if the procedures have any effects on her," answered Luca. She
nced at the time. They only needed half an hour to know if it worked on her.
After all, Leia was weak now. It would take some time for her to wake up.

"If she wakes up, all she has to do is to receive treatments and wait for a liver donor. Then, she''ll be
fine," Johann added. He mumbled to himself that the precondition was Leia should stop getting herself
into trouble.
Leia''s condition should not be deteriorating this quickly.
If Leia had taken the medicine prescription Luca gave her or the medicine the hospital gave her back
then, she would not have ended up like this today.
After that, Leia constantly asked to be discharged from the hospital before her condition stabilized. This
was another reason that aggravated her condition.
In the end, this was what happened to her.
Johann recalled everything she did. He could not help but shake his head. He had seen people who
made such stupid mistakes, but Leia was the first one who put herself on the verge of death.
Sure enough, Leia would still be the same despite her getting into the entertainment industry.
"Okay, okay." Queenie listened to them and hurried over to the bed. She sat on the chair with a pale
look on her face. She murmured, "Leia, you have to get better. I haven''t had the chance to see you get
married yet. Hang in there.."
