"When the policee, all you have to do is hand her over to the police, and they''ll decide whether
Leia hasmitted a crime." Jack sounded stern. He did not allow any change of ns even when he
was not at home.
Leia should be punished.
The public opinion of Leia all over the inte could not affect him or Queenie, so Leia''s imprisonment
would not affect his career either.
Even if it did, it would still be honorable for him to retire at this age.
Jack''s only regret from retiring would be not being able to serve the people anymore.
Queenie took a deep breath, and her eyes darkened at the thought of what would happen if she sent
Leia to the hospital.
She could not let Jack fall into such a situation.
“Okay, I''ll stay home," Queenie promised.
After hanging up, Queenie continued sitting on the sofa without asking about what was going on
upstairs.
As long as she did not go upstairs, Leia would not constantly be on her mind. That was what she
nned to do now. Leia would not be able to affect her as long as she was out of sight.
Upstairs, Leia scratched the door. "I want to go to the hospital."
Surabaya bit the ck rubber band and used her hand as ab as she put her hair into a high
ponytail. "Ms. Norman, why don''t you take a break from all the yelling?"
Leia pped the door hard, and the tingling pain spread all over her palm.
"I''ll make you pay for doing this to me!" she threatened viciously.
Surabaya was unfazed. "If you don''t feel well, stop making a fuss. The family doctor will be here soon."
Leia was silent.
Surabaya raised her eyebrows. Was she ying dead to trick her into opening the door?
Even if she opened the door, Leia would not be able to walk out of the house''s gate.
Not to mention, Surabaya was not easily fooled.
She had gone through strict andprehensive training under Rain. Even if Leia was deliberately not
making any noise, she would still be able to hear the sound of her breathing with her sharp hearing.
Moreover, Surabaya could even determine her vital signs based on her breathing.

She put her ear to the door to make sure that Leia was breathing normally. Leia was not speaking, and
neither was she.
Besides, Leia already hated her, so there was no point ruffling her feathers.
The maid went upstairs again with some fruit. “Ms. Surabaya, these fruits are sent by Mrs. Norman."
“Thanks." Surabaya took them. The Norman family had never mistreated her.
Although she was guarding Leia, the Norman family still entertained her with good food.
The maid heard movement in the bedroom, but she did not hear Leia''s voice, so she asked Surabaya
worriedly, “W-Why is there no sound?"
Surabaya said nonchntly, “Perhaps she''s tired from yelling, so she doesn''t want to talk anymore."
The maid frowned, unconvinced. Leia used to be able to make noise the whole day, and it had not
been long since she woke up...
She remembered her saying that she was not feeling well. Did she faint in there?
The maid did not say anything, but Surabaya understood her concern, so she knocked on the door and
said, “Ms. Norman, today''s fruits are cherries. Do you want some? They''re big and sweet."
The maid tried to listen to the situation behind the door.
Leia was still silent.
The maid asked worriedly, “Did she actually faint?"
Surabaya sneered as she popped the cherry into her mouth.
The imported cherries were big, sweet, and juicy.
The maid''s face was full of doubts as she did not understand what was going on.
Surabaya spat out the seed and swallowed the flesh of the sweet cherry before exining, “Ms.
Norman is fine."
“But she.." The maid knew that Leia could be trying to pull a trick, but something might have actually
happened to her too.
How would Surabaya know that Leia was fine if she did not go in?
“When one encounters a bear that''s not hungry, they may be able to escape by ying dead, but Ms.
Norman is making a big mistake by thinking that I''m a bear." Surabaya picked up a few cherries and
yed with them in her hand as she reminded the person inside, “Ms. Norman, unless you can hold
your breath for two minutes, don''t try to y dead. I can hear your breathing, and it sounds strong too."
After a few seconds, Surabaya said mockingly, “Hey, Ms. Norman, why is your breathing so heavy? Are
you angry? The doctor said stress isn''t good for the body. You should take note."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a bang from behind the door.
The maid guessed that Leia had hit the door with something.
She gave Surabaya a big thumbs up. She was so good that she could even tell from Leia''s breathing
whether she was unconscious.
Not to mention, she could hear it from far away.
Surabaya had another cherry. “Ms. Norman, the cherries taste great. Are you sure you don''t want
some?"
Inwardly, she thought, ''If Leia doesn''t have any now, it''ll be a long time before the next time she gets to
have some.''
"F*ck off!" A roar came from the bedroom. The maid felt relieved when she heard the angry voice. Leia
should be fine.
A sick person would not be able to roar like that.
"Ms. Norman, please bear with me. Dr. Cairn will be here in a bit," said the maid through gritted teeth.
Inside, Leia responded by hitting something again.
The maid shook her head and said to Surabaya, "Ms. Surabaya, there are many more fruits
downstairs, so just let me know if you need anything."
"Sure, thank you," Surabaya said cheerfully.
Although guarding Leia was boring, eating good food at the Norman family''s house was much better
than what Anita was doing.
At least she did not have to take care of an unconscious person.
The maid went back downstairs and reported to Queenie, "From the sound of Ms. Norman''s voice, she
doesn''t seem to be feeling unwell."
"That''s good..." Queenie nodded. The thought of Leia''s attempt to deceive them by pretending to be
unconscious was disturbing.
Leia''s action reminded her of all her previous doings.
For all types of reasons, Leia had lied and gone to many extremes.
Queenie did not know if it was the evilness engraved in her soul, her innate behavior, or if she became
like this after meeting those people.
No matter what it was, it showed that she and Jack had failed to educate her.
Perhaps, it was not them who failed.
Children were free after growing up, and parents would not be able to control them at their age anyway.
Queenie recalled that after Leia entered the entertainment industry, she found sess with the road
paved by her family and became a big star, beloved by everyone.
However, step by step, she walked toward her demise. Now, she was hated by almost everyone.
Leia''s previous works were also taken off the shelves as she wasbeled as a tainted star.
Queenie thought to herself, ''Did Leia be like this because the entertainment industry is too
complicated? In that environment, she met those people and.."
While Queenie was spiraling, the doorbell rang.
