"I''ll go get them for you." The maid did not pocket the supplements. Instead, she took them out of the
cupboard.
Then, Leia picked out two things.
When the maid realized that she was going back to Norman Residence, she could not help but wonder
if Leia had any manners. If she was going home right now, she should know enough to bring something
back home.
However, the things she took were all given to her by Queenie.
People were not that forgetful. If Queenie saw those supplements, she would know that they were the
ones she had brought here before.
If Queenie found out, she would be upset.
Leia was being too perfunctory!
"Ms. Norman, these were all given to you by Mrs. Norman. If you send them back, she''d be very
upset..." Surabaya said softly. No daughter would do something like that.
Leia rolled her eyes. "My mother likes thrifty people, and I can''t finish the one she brought here. If I
send them back, she doesn''t need to get new ones, no?"
Surabaya stood aside and almost burst out inughter.
Even back in the 1970s and 1980s, no one would do such a thing even if they were poor. Leia''s
stinginess was embarrassing!
If Surabaya had not known that the Norman family had never mistreated Leia, she would think that Leia
had been mistreated her entire life for her to act this way.
In Norman Residence.
After finding out that Mr. and Mrs. Norman had been discharged from the hospital, Luca immediately
arranged for Rhett to send her to their residence.
On the way there, she bought some supplements and fruits.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Norman were not suffering from any health problems, she still had to follow
common courtesy rules when visiting them as they had just been discharged from the hospital.
"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Norman. I heard that you got discharged from the hospital, so I came to
visit." Luca came to their door with gifts.
Although this was how it usually went with people who wanted to curry favor with the Normans, it was
different with Luca.
The Normans knew that Luca was not there to fawn over them. She was here because she genuinely
cared about them.
“Why did you bring over so many things?" Jack felt bad watching her carry two bags filled with things,
so he quickly tried to help her.
"It''s a good thing both of you got discharged. It would be impolite for me toe empty-handed." Luca
smiled and did not let him help her. Instead, she went in and ced everything on the table.

"Is Luca here?" Queenie came down from the second floor as soon as she heard the news.
After confirming that it was Luca, a delightful smile appeared on her face. "What''s all of this?"
"She said that it''s a good thing we got discharged, so she can''te over empty-handed," Jack said in
ce of Luca.
Queenie disapproved. "You already bought so many things for us when we were hospitalized, but
you''re spending even more money on us now. Next time, all you have to bring is yourself. Don''t bring
us so many things. The two of us can''t finish everything."
"These have a long shelf life, so it''s okay." Luca felt guilty for causing her biological parents so much
shock and pain...
Not only could she not fulfill her filial duties by their side, but she even brought them such disaster.
Luca could not help but feel bad at the thought of that.
"You''ll be staying for lunch, right?" Queenie asked her to stay for lunch.
Jack cleared his throat. He wanted Luca to stay for lunch too, but how could Queenie forget what he
told her just now?
It was only after Queenie heard Jack cough that she recalled their appointment with Leia.
Jack said that Leia wanted to escape.
Queenie had already found out everything Leia had done.
When Jack showed her all the evidence he umted, she could not believe that Leia, whom she
had put her heart and soul into raising, had turned out into someone like that!
Queenie felt bitter.
However, what could she do about it? Leia hadmitted so many crimes. No matter how much she
loved her daughter, she knew that the things she did had caused harm to not only her but Jack and
Bianca too.
She could not let Leia continue on like this.
Queenie stayed up all night in misery until she finally cleared up her thoughts, so when Jack told her
that Leia wanted to escape, she agreed to his n.
If this matter had nothing to do with Leia, the n would not hurt her.
This was Queenie''sst hope for Leia, so she wished that all the evidence from the police would show
that Leia was not involved in harming them and Luca.
However, why would someone who was not guilty try to escape?
Therefore, even though Queenie still had hope, she had alsoe to ept her suspicions.
When Luca heard Jack''s cough, she knew that he was not actually clearing his throat but reminding
Queenie.
Luke had told her about Mr. and Mrs. Norman being discharged.
Luke also said that he had people watching over Leia. Now that Matysh''s detention notice was out,
Leia was definitely restless, so she must be trying to run away.
Thus, he also mentioned that the Normans were trying to keep Leia here.
Luca could tell by looking at them that they were trying to use this afternoon as an opportunity to keep
Leia home.
If she stayed, it would be difficult for them to do anything.
Luca had no sisterly affection for Leia as she had framed her many times before, which led to the
situation today. Luca also hoped that Leia would pay for what she had done.
Thus, she rejected Queenie''s invitation. “It''s okay, Mrs. Norman. I have to go back to thepany. I''m
about to take up a new project, so I need to head back and take a look."
"You''re so busy at work," Queenie drew her eyebrows together. She knew that Luca was in the
pharmaceutical industry, but she did not expect her to be this busy.
"Are there any healthcare professionals who aren''t busy?" said Jack. If not for them, humans would not
be living suchfortable lives.
The number of new viruses was increasing each day, and medicine was also advancing to prevent
those viruses from taking the lives of people.
Although he was a politician, he knew that much at least.
Jack told Luca, "No matter how busy you are, don''t forget to eat. Rest if you''re tired, and don''t burn
yourself out."
"I know." Luca felt warm all over. Although she was not Bianca, she still won them over by being
sincerely kind to them. "I''ll be going back to work now, Mr. and Mrs. Norman."
If she did not leave now, Leia might show up any minute.
"Alright, stay safe on the road," Jack told Luca.
Then, Luca waved to the couple before leaving Norman Residence.
Not long after she left, Leia brought Surabaya to the family''s mansion.
Leia stood in front of Jack and Queenie as she looked them up and down. She pretended to care about
them. "Mom, Dad, I''m so d that you''re fine."
Jack felt disgusted by her acting.
Leia used to work in the entertainment industry. Although she did not have any outstanding works, she
still made use of her resources to be the lead actress in many productions.
Many years after retiring from the industry, she still had her acting skills.
Just like right now...
Her tears and words of concern made tears well up in Queenie''s eyes.
