10 minutester, Mandy came to the ward that Leia told her on the phone earlier. She was startled for a
moment when she saw a police officer sitting there. Then, she immediately took two steps backward.
After everything that she did, she had the feeling that the police were after her whenever she saw an
officer.
Mandy pretended that she came to the wrong ce. After she left the ward and headed to a quiet
ce, she gave Leia a call. “What''s going on? Why is there a police officer in your ward?"
“He''s here to take my statement. What brings you here?" Leia nced at the police officer, feeling
guilty.
Could it be that Luke had already found out something and that was why Mandy came here looking for
her in a hurry?
"I''m here to give you the money. But there are so many people there. I think it''ll be better for me not to
enter the ward," replied Mandy. She was afraid she would wear an unnatural expression on her face in
front of the police officer and arouse his suspicion.
She had done something bad. That was why she was afraid to see any police officers.
Leia was dumbfounded for a moment. She initially wanted to ask Mandy since they had failed the
mission, why were they still able to get the money.
However, Leia dared not to say anything in front of the police officer. She tried to fool the officer by
saying, "Sure. No problem. Thank you."
Mandy knew it was inconvenient for Leia to talk and that was why she said something like that. She did
not say anything. After she hung up the call, Mandy deposited an amount of money into Leia''s bank
ount.
However, the amount deposited into Leia''s bank ount was less than expected.
Then, Mandy sent a message to Leia: [That''s all I can get for you since things didn''t go well.]
Mandy knew Leia dared not to contact Matysh. Leia had agreed with Matysh''s n, and she also
requested those thugs to harm Mr. and Mrs. Norman. That was why it caused such a big scene.
Matysh was kind enough to give her the money. How would she dare to look for Matysh and ask for the
remainder?
Leia saw Mandy''s message, then she nced at her bank ount. She pursed her lips. It was less
than she expected, but things had gotten bigger and worse. It was not easy for her to get such an
amount of money.
Leia put her phone down and looked at the police officer with a gloomy expression on her face.
The police officer and Luke''s subordinate were both in the ward. The other two patients in the ward
were staring at her, but they dared not say anything about it.
“I feel much better now. I can make the statement." Leia wanted the police officer to leave, so she had
no choice but to cooperate with him.
The police officer was a little surprised. Leia had finally agreed to make the statement. He said, "Why
don''t we head to the nurses'' lounge?"
The hospital had made it convenient for the police officers to do their job. A nurses'' lounge was
provided in every department, and the police officers could use the lounges to take statements from the
patients.
Leia got out of bedzily. She rolled her eyes at Luke''s subordinate and followed the police officer out
of the ward.
Luke''s subordinate knew the police officer would not let him listen in while Leia was giving her
statement. Therefore, he thought he might as well stay in the ward first. After that, he would wait
outside the nurses'' lounge.

After Leia left, the patient staying in the same ward as her asked, "Hey, what did that woman do?"
"I have no idea," the man replied with a cold expression on his face.
The patient asked with curiosity, "I notice that the police officer kept staring at her. She must''ve
committed a serious crime, right? But why is she still in this ward if she really did something wrong?
Doesn''t the hospital have a custodial ward?"
The man kept silent.
A horrified look suddenly appeared on the patient''s face, and she said, "Could it be a murder case? Oh
my, patients like her are scary."
The man ran out of patience as the patient was constantly babbling and making wild guesses. He
immediately walked out of the ward and came to the door of the nurses'' lounge.
The door was closed. The man shot a nce to see the situation inside and saw Leia giving her
statement. He could see the impatient look on Leia''s face when she was facing the police officer.
Five minutester, the man received a message. It was an instruction from Gale. He continued to stand
outside the nurses'' lounge after reading the message.
15 minutester, the police officer came out of the room with a sullen look on his face.
"Have you finished taking her statement?" the man asked.
"Yeah..." The police officer was rendered speechless. When Leia was giving her statement, it was as
though her brain was not working at all. She did not answer his questions, and everything she told him
was messy and unorganized.
When the police officer asked Leia why she behaved that way, she told him that she was traumatized
and could hardly remember what happened.
That would only mean the police officer had wasted so much time waiting for her to take the statement.
He would certainly be scolded by his superior if he went back to the office with such a statement.
"Judging from the look on your face, it didn''t go well, huh?" the man asked.
The police officer nodded, but the statements were confidential information. He could not let anyone
else read them either. "I''ll go back to the office to report about it."
He would not be able to find any new leads in Leia''s statement if he continued to stay here. Thus, he
thought he might as well take the statement with him and head back to the office where he would be
scolded.
The man then turned to look at Leia, who came out of the lounge.
It seemed like she was in a good mood after dealing with the police officer. She was even humming a
tune.
"There''ll be a caretakering here to take care of youter," said the man.
Leia stopped. She raised her brows and asked, "Caretaker? Who arranged a caretaker for me?"
The man would not tell her that Luke was the one who made such arrangements. After all, he was told
not to arouse Leia''s suspicion.
"It''s probably your family. The nurse walked into the ward and told me a moment ago."
"Them? That''s impossible!" Leia frowned. Mr. and Mrs. Norman would not even let her enter the VIP
ward on the top floor to visit them. How could they arrange a caretaker for her?
The man replied indifferently when Leia refused to believe it, "Return to your ward and ask them."
After that, he walked back to the ward.
Leia returned to her ward while feeling suspicious. There was indeed a middle-aged woman sitting on
the chair beside her ward bed.
"Who sent you here? Was it Luke Crawford?" Leia looked at the caretaker vigntly. This was a female
ward. It was inconvenient for Luke''s male subordinate toe here and keep an eye on her.
"C-Crawford?" The middle-aged woman asked with an ent while she looked at Leia in confusion.
She exined, "Old Madam Norman sent me here. She told me toe here to take care of you."
Old Madam Norman?
Leia raised her brows. She picked up her phone and called Old Madam Norman.
"Grandma, did you send a caretaker over?" Leia asked.
"Yes, Leia. You must be frightened after what happened, right?" Old Madam Norman asked caringly.
"I''m okay..." Leia found it strange, then she asked, "How did you know I was admitted to the hospital?"
"Something big happened to your family, so, naturally, your grandpa and I found out about it. I know
your parents are in the hospital too. That''s why I sent a caretaker for you," answered Old Madam
Norman. She felt sorry for her granddaughter. Hence, she arranged for a caretaker to look after her.
The caretaker who was initially sent here to take care of Leia was then reced with another person by
Gale.
"Grandma, that''s very kind of you." Leia stopped staring at the caretaker suspiciously when she heard
Old Madam Norman say so. Then, she asked, "Grandma, do you know how my parents are doing
now? The nurse doesn''t allow me to enter their ward. She told me that they don''t allow me to visit
them. I don''t know what''s going on in there. I''m worried."
