After Luca left the hospital, she got into Warren''s car and headed to T Corporation.


    Five minutester, Luca received a call from Queenie.


    “Luca, you''ve already left the hospital?" Queenie could not find Luca anywhere in the hospital when


    she left the ward. Hence, she quickly called her.


    "Yes, Mrs. Norman. I have work to do..." Luca felt sorry for her when she heard the hoarseness in her


    voice.


    "Too many things happened just now. I didn''t get the chance to thank you yet. Luca, let me treat you to


    lunch," Queenie invited her out for lunch. Luca was Leia''s savior, after all.


    Even though Leia did not know how to be grateful, as her mother, she had to know how to show


    respect to others.


    "It''s nothing, Mrs. Norman. You don''t have to do this. Besides, Ms. Norman would eventually wake up


    even if I wasn''t there," Luca replied with her brows furrowed while she looked at the scenery outside


    the window that was moving backward.


    What Luca said was true. Judging from Leia''s situation, she would not be unconscious for long. Even if


    Luca did not perform dry needling on her, she would be able to wake up in a day. Although she was in


    a bad situation, she would not be asleep for that long.


    Moreover, the one who should be thanking Luca was supposed to be Leia. She was a grown-up, and


    she should not be letting Queenie do that for her.


    Queenie frowned on the other end of the line. After all, Luca seemed to refuse to ept her apology on


    behalf of Leia. She heaved a sigh and said, "Luca, Leia is sick. She''s feeling unwell. That''s why she


    behaves that way when she sees someone.."


    Luca closed her eyes and leaned back on the car seat. She replied, "Mrs. Norman, I know. Besides, it''s


    nothing. Stop thinking about it. Let Ms. Norman rest and recover her health."


    "Ah. Okay." Queenie was steeped in guilt.


    "Mrs. Norman, I have another calling in. I got to go." Luca broke the silence. Someone was really


    calling her.


    After Luca ended the call with Queenie, she answered Rhett''s call and answered a few questions


    regarding the experiment.


    Then, Warren drew up outside T Corporation.


    "Ms. Craw, we''re here." Warren shot a nce at Luca, who was behind him.


    “Oh, okay." Luca was busy discussing the experiment data with Rhett. She did not notice that she had


    arrived at T Corporation. She said, "Rhett, let''s talkter. I arrived at the office. Let me deal with itter."


    "Okay, Dr. Craw," Rhett hung up the call when he heard her telling him that she was back at the office.


    Luca put her phone back in the briefcase. When she was about to get out of the car, Warren said, "Dr.


    Craw, the ck-colored Buick has been following us since we drove out of the vi."


    Warren had been keeping an eye on the car. He even tested the person in the car. However, the other


    party did not make any move, so he did not do anything about it


    Luca was startled for a moment. She was thinking about other stuff when she was in the car, and she


    did not notice that.


    She took her phone out and pretended to take a selfie. Then, she saw the ck Buick behind them.


    "You''re attentive," said Luca. She was not nning on alerting the enemies, but she reminded him,


    "Memorize the car te number and inform Mr. Crawford about it."


    "Yes." Warren did not show any happiness on his face because of Luca''spliment. It was his job,


    after all.


    After Luca left, Warren sent a message with the car te number to Gale.


    Gale was responsible for investigating the matter.


    In the hospital.


    Leia wanted to continue to sleep, but she was wide awake. Even though the caretaker did not make


    any noise, she was unable to fall asleep.


    Hence, she opened her eyes and asked the caretaker to adjust the height of the hospital bed. She


    would like to sit for a while.


    "What happenedst night?" Leia asked the caretaker. She had no idea what happened after she


    fainted.


    "Ms. Norman, you were sent to the emergency roomst night. I couldn''t decide for you. So I informed


    Mr. Norman and Mrs. Norman. They arrived at the hospital half an hourter after you were brought to


    the emergency room, and they signed various agreements..." The caretaker emphasized the time. She


    had seen the way Leia talked to her family and how their rtionship was.


    Queenie was kind to Leia, but the woman in front of her refused to ept her mother''s kindness. That


    was why the caretaker deliberately stressed it.


    Leia hated it when the caretaker mentioned Queenie in their conversation. She changed the subject of


    the conversation and asked, "Did I be like this just because I took a puff of a cigarette?"


    The caretaker shook her head and replied, "I''m not sure about that. The doctor only told Mr. Norman


    and Mrs. Norman about your condition.."


    The caretaker was asked to leave the ward when Leia''s friend came here yesterday. That was why she


    did not manage to stop Leia from smoking in time. The caretaker was worried that Queenie would put


    her in a difficult position.


    Fortunately, Queenie only asked her to return and take care of Leia. She did not me her for what


    happened yesterday.


    Leia could not help but let the resentment fill her heart when she thought about what Johann had said.


    She became like this just because she smoked.


    If Mandy had not smoked in front of her and told her that it was the cigarette they used to smoke the


    last time, Leia would not have wavered.


    The ward''s door was pushed open again. Leia frowned and turned to look in the direction of the door.


    She realized that it was not the doctor or nurse who came in. It was Mandy.


    "Why are you here?" Leia scowled at Mandy when she remembered that she was the one who made


    her condition worsen. If it were not for her being unable to get out of bed and walk now, she would have


    charged toward her, pulled her hair, and asked Mandy why she made things difficult for her.


    "Are you still hoping to see me lying on the bed and unable to get off?" Leia glowered at her.


    “Don''t say that. I was worried about you. But I got kicked out of here. I only dared toe in after your


    mother left," Mandy exined. She left an impression on the nurse when she came in yesterday. That


    was why she coulde and go freely.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "It''s your fault I''m in such a state now!" Leia gritted her teeth. If it were not for her, she would not be on


    the verge of death. Now, her body could face organ failure at anytime...


    Mandy knew Leia became like this because of the cigarette. She quickly exined to her, "I didn''t know


    you couldn''t smoke a cigarette in such a condition. Besides, you''re the one who asked for the cigarette.


    I just gave it to you."


    Leia gave her a death stare without saying a word.


    Indeed, she had wanted to take a puff of the cigarette. That was why Mandy gave it to her.


    However, if it were not for Mandy, who smoked in front of her, how could she be tempted to smoke?


    "Come on. Stop being angry. It''s a blessing in disguise for you to be able to regain your


    consciousness.." Mandyforted her.


    "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Leia retorted. However, her body was weak, so her voice


    sounded weak too.


    Mandy did not exin anything. She shot a nce at the caretaker and raised her brows at Leia.


    Leia understood what she meant. Then, she said to the caretaker, "Please leave us alone.."


    "Ms. Norman, Mrs. Norman asked me to stay here and look after you.." The caretaker dared not to


    listen to her anymore. Leia smoked when she was asked to step out yesterday. What if something like


    that happened again today?
