Leia looked down as a hint of malice shed across her eyes.
Leia did not expect things to go so smoothly. Queenie was really nning to ask Luca to help her nurse
her health.
It seemed like she would be able to get Matysh''s money soon.
"Leia?" Queenie was worried Leia would disagree with it when she saw that Leia had fallen silent. She
nned to convince Leia again.
This would be good for her health, so it had to be taken seriously.
"I''m worried that she''ll y a prank on me after what I''ve done to her. She might even harm me." said
Leia. She did not immediately agree to it as she thought of speaking ill of Luca in passing.
Luca should not hold such an important position in Queenie''s heart.
Queenie heaved a sigh, shook her head, and said, "Luca isn''t that kind of person. She''ll try her best to
help you since she''s promised to help."
"How can you be so sure about that?" Leia could not help but feel jealous.
How long had Luca stayed in A City? What did Luca do to make Queenie speak up for her? She even
spoke up for her in such a situation.
There was no way Queenie had no idea how much Leia hated Luca, and she knew Leia was someone
who got jealous easily.
Queenie was still speaking up for Luca even though she wanted Leia to agree to her suggestion...
Leia frowned and pondered. How could Queenie be so sure?
Queenie seldom talked to Luca, but it was her intuition that told her that Luca was not that kind of
person.
Even though Luca looked like she was preupied, she was kind from the bottom of her heart. She
would not harm anyone.
Hence, Queenie believed in her.
Leia was furious. After Queenie defended Luca, she fell silent again. Leia clenched her fists and tried
her best to suppress the surge of anger in her.
She needed money, so she could not mess this up.
Queenie noticed that Leia was unhappy. Then, she slowly opened her mouth and said, “Leia, let''s not
doubt her. Can you please agree to it?" "Fine. I''ll go. But let me tell you first if my health doesn''t
improve after receiving a course of treatment, don''t me me for being disrespectful," said Leia.
"Okay. Don''t worry. We''ll continue to take modern medicine if there''s no improvement after a course of
treatment." Queenie gave her word after Leia agreed to seek treatment from Luca.
Leia sneered and said, "Plus, if it doesn''t work, tell Dad to ask Johann to nurse my health."
Leia only trusted Johann''s medical skills now.
"No problem. We surely have to get another doctor if there''s no improvement." Queenie had confidence
in Luca, so she agreed.
With Luca helping to nurse Leia''s nurse, Leia might not have to go back to the hospital for follow-up
sessions that often.
After all, patients who were in such a condition did not have to go to the hospital often once their
condition stabilized.
"I''ll leave it to her, then," Leia replied in azy tone and yawned.
Leia did not know what medicine the doctor gave her. She always felt sleepy after taking the medicine.
"I''ll ask the chauffeur to pick you up and take you to her ce tomorrow." Queenie gently stroked Leia''s
hair.
Even though Leia was spoiled and had done many things that broke Queenie''s heart, she still doted on
Leia like her daughter.
After all, when they lost their biological daughter, Leia showed up and took the couple''s pain away.
"Pick me up? Where am I going?" Luca looked up and nced sideways, avoiding looking at
Queenie''s hands that were stroking her dearly.
Queenie had no choice but to withdraw her hands. She said, "To Luca''s ce. Didn''t you agree to let
her nurse your health?"
"Why should I go over to her ce? Isn''t she supposed toe here and help me nurse my health?"
Leia raised her brows. Matysh''s men could have the chance to make a move only if Luca came here.
Queenie frowned. Previously, she asked Luca to head to the hospital to help Leia nurse her health only
because Leia was weak and could not walk.
Even though Leia''s condition was bad now, she had no problem walking around. They were already
asking for someone''s help, so how could they ask her toe over to their ce?
Queenie recalled that Jack had brought her to see several doctors when she was ill back then.
There were many naturopathist who stayed in the suburbs. Jack did not ask them toe over to their
ce even though he had the power and status to do so. Instead, Jack took Queenie along with him
and went to find them.
"Leia, you can''t do that. Besides, it''s not like you can''t walk around now," Queenie tried to convince
Leia.
"Mom, I know..." Leia understood what Queenie meant. She rolled her eyes and immediately came up
with an idea. "But she''s helping me to nurse my health. To be fair, we should invite her over and treat
her to a meal, right?"
Queenie was startled for a moment. What Leia said made sense too.
Luca was willing to put what happened between them aside and help Leia. Besides, Luca was saving
her life. They should repay her kindness by at least treating her to a meal.
“Let me make a reservation at the restaurant," said Queenie.
“Mom, I can''t eat the food there even if you make a reservation at a restaurant. I''m supposed to show
my gratitude. It''ll be inappropriate if we go to a restaurant and I can''t eat anything there. Won''t I be a
buzzkill?" Leia quickly stopped Queenie from thinking of making a reservation at a restaurant.
Queenie thought what Leia said was reasonable.
It seemed like even though Leia was arrogant, she was meticulous when handling matters.
“Then..."
“Mom, let''s prepare a feast at the vi. Let me spend the night there. If Dad refuses, I''lle back
once Luca checks my pulse and prescribes the medicine for me at the vi tomorrow." Leia knew Jack
did not want to see her at home, so she was not nning to stay longer.
Leia had figured things out thoroughly now. Even though she wanted to stay there, Jack would not
agree to it either. He woulde up with several excuses to send her back here.
Hence, Leia only suggested spending a night there.

She was their daughter, after all. It would not be a problem for her to spend a night there, right?
''Lmm...
Queenie had just spoken when Leia interrupted, “Mom, perhaps it''s a good idea I go over to her ce
tomorrow. It''s just a little troublesome. After all, I can''t let here to the apartment. The kitchen is
small, and the living room is small too. It''s embarrassing to receive guests here."
“It''ll be tiring to go back and forth in a day. What about this? Follow me back home today and we''ll talk
about it tomorrow," said Queenie.
“Okay." Leia agreed. Although she was not really satisfied with the arrangements, she secretly rejoiced.
Queenie kept defending Luca and taking her side.
After something happened to Luca, how guilty would Queenie feel when she found out that Leia was
involved in this?
The guiltier Queenie felt, the better it was. She would not be able to take a blow at her age and with
that personality of hers. She might be drowned in guilt as it could be too difficult for her to ept reality
and she would die.
Then, Jack would be the only one left in the Norman family.
Work and family were Jack''s everything. He loved Queenie so much that he might not be able to hold
on much longer if Queenie died. Furthermore, Bianca, who had lost her memory, was still living abroad.
Would everything the Norman family possess fall into her hands then?
Leia lowered her hand and looked down. Her eyes gleamed with malice. There was an evil grin on her
face at the thought of everything that she might possess.
“Let me ask the maid to prepare the medicine for tonight and tomorrow first." Queenie did not notice
the expression on Leia''s face. She walked out of the room and asked the maid to prepare Leia''s
medicine.
