Matysh looked at Leia with confusion, refusing to believe what she said.


    Could someone who could not even stop themselves from being mean to Luca be able to help him?


    Mandy had been staying by Matysh''s side for some time now, and she knew Matysh did not trust Leia.


    Mandy was the one who rmended Leia to carry out the mission, so she said, “Mr. Matysh, if Leia


    says she can do it, she''ll certainly seed. I believe in her."


    Matysh stared at Mandy for a few seconds and shifted his gaze back to his phone. Atst, he nodded


    and said, "Fine. I''ll trust you this time."


    "Don''t worry. I won''t take your money if I fail. You have nothing to lose either. Enjoy your holiday in the


    vi," replied Leia. The hatred she felt for Luca in her heart was getting stronger. It was like a rising


    yeasted dough in a high-temperature oven.


    Leia put her phone aside after she ended the video call. Her eyes darkened like a deep bottomless


    hole.


    On the other hand.


    Luca had already dealt with her emotions after she left the ward. She was on her way back to the


    parking lot.


    Luca had only got into the car after she thought there was nothing wrong with her.


    "That fast?" Luke nced at the time. It only took 20 minutes for Luca to get it done.


    He secretly made some rough calctions. It would take 15 minutes for one to head to Leia''s ward and


    come back here.


    "There''s nothing much. Ms. Norman doesn''t need my help, so I came back," Luca replied with a smile


    on her face. She did not tell Luke those awful things she heard in the ward.


    Luke frowned.


    "Mr. Crawford, let''s go home. That way, Aunt Neile can go home earlier too," said Luca. She felt much


    better with the car heater warming her up.


    "What did Leia say?" Luke did not intend to leave yet. He turned around and stared at her.


    "Nothing..." Luca did not want to say anything, and she never thought of telling anyone about it either.


    After all, if Luke truly stood up for her, Leia would be in trouble. That would only make Queenie worried.


    "Luca, I can go upstairs and ask if you don''t tell me." Luke insisted on knowing what Leia had said to


    her.

    Although Luca looked fine, she must have heard something terrible from Leia.


    Luke was protective of the people he loved. Although Luca had not revealed her true identity, he could


    not bear to see her being wronged.


    “Mr. Crawford..." Luca hesitated as she knew he was being serious.


    Leia''s condition might seem stable now, but Luca had noticed that Leia''s heartbeat and blood pressure


    changed when her emotions surged earlier.


    If Luke went upstairs now, Leia might be sent into the emergency room if she was frightened out of her


    wits upon seeing Luke.


    Luca had no choice but to tell him how Leia took her for granted and the mean and harsh words she


    said to her.


    "Is that everything she said?" Luke asked.


    Luca thought Luke would think that she was making a big deal out of it. She had no choice but to nod


    and say, "She''s always been like that. I guess things just aren''t going well for me today. That''s why I''m


    in a bad mood. I left right after I tossed her medical records aside. Now that I''m recalling it, I shouldn''t


    have done that. After all, I had promised Mrs. Norman, but I didn''t keep my promise."


    "You did do something wrong." Luke looked at her with his fiery eyes, seemingly ming her for


    everything she did.


    Luca''s heart sank. Sure enough.


    No one would side with her when she was not Bianca. Even if she was still Bianca, Luke, who was in


    front of her, and Queenie would not favor her because her looks and identity had changed.


    "You shouldn''t have helped her to nurse her health in the first ce. Let''s go home. Don''t ever mind


    Leia''s business again," said Luke. Then, he started the car engine.


    Luca looked at Luke in surprise. Luke was defending her.


    A heart-touching feeling aroused in her chest.


    She could sense that Luke was defending her in his tone. Luca looked down, her voice slightly


    trembling as she was moved by Luke''s words. "Okay. Let''s go home."


    Luke drove back to the vi.


    Everything went smoothly when they were on their way back. It waste, and there were hardly any


    cars on the road. The car did not break down either. The kids were already asleep when they returned


    to the vi.


    Aunt Neile saw theme back. It waste at night, and she had not returned home yet, so she


    headed to the maid''s room to rest.


    "Go upstairs to clean yourself up first," said Luke. He took Luca''s handbag to hang it on the stand


    hanger.


    Luca nodded and made her way up the stairs. She walked into her bedroom, nning to clean herself


    up and go to sleep.


    Luca took her phone out of her pocket. She saw Queenie''s message when she was about to put her


    phone on the dressing table.


    She had switched it to night mode. Hence, the phone would not ring no matter if it was a message


    unless someone made a phone call.


    Luca unlocked her phone screen and nced at her phone.


    The message Queenie sent her was about asking her to go easy on Leia.


    Luca let out a sigh. Perhaps Queenie did not understand that it was Leia who was putting her in a


    difficult position. Otherwise, something like that would not have happened today.


    However, Luca did not me Queenie for defending Leia.


    It was because Leia was her daughter, while she was merely a stranger to her now.


    Luca pondered for a moment. She could not help but feel jealous of Leia. It was not because of some


    other reasons. It was only because Leia had such a good mother like Queenie.


    It was not easy for her to acknowledge Queenie as her mother, but things had be like this just


    because of Leia...


    Luca did not even dare to acknowledge Queenie.


    She thought about it and replied to Queenie in a magnanimous manner: [It''s okay. It''s gettingte. Rest


    earlier, Mrs. Norman.]


    Luca put down her phone after she sessfully sent the message.


    She brought her pajamas into the bathroom.


    Meanwhile, Luke, who was in the room opposite Luca''s bedroom, called Johann.


    “Why are you calling me at this hour?" Johann answered his call. He was bbergasted. Did Luke ever


    look at the time before he made a call?


    Luke could hear the drowsiness in Johann''s voice, but he was not nning to let him sleep. He said, "I


    need you to do me a favor."


    "Can''t you tell me tomorrow if it''s not urgent." Johann closed his eyes. All he wanted to do now was to


    sleep.


    "It''s urgent." Luke was stubborn, and he insisted on telling him today.


    Johann opened his eyes as he thought Luke really had something urgent to tell him. "I''m awake. Tell


    me."


    "Dexter is getting discharged tomorrow, right?" Luke asked.


    "Yes. Did you call just because of this.." Johann was rendered speechless.


    "No. The person Leia doesn''t want to see the most is Dexter. Please make an arrangement and let her


    have a chance to meet him," said Luke. He would never let anyone who put Luca in a difficult position


    get away with it.


    "Do you know what will happen to Leia if she sees Dexter?" Johann frowned. Leia detested her


    biological father, Dexter. It seemed like Luke wanted her to meet the person she hated the most.


    That would trigger Leia.


    Previously, Luke had even reminded him not to let Dexter visit Leia to prevent stirring up her emotions


    and causing the surgery to fail.


    However, now.


    What did Leia do to offend Luke again?
