Queenie had overheard the conversation between Jack and Luke. Jack could not hide it anymore.
He nodded with a solemn expression on his face. "Mhm, the police said she hit her head on the wall.
They''ve taken her to the hospital for an examination. As for the details, I''ll need to head to the hospital
to know more about it."
"I''ll go too." Queenie could not be bothered with the tray in her hands and ced it on the shelf before
heading back to her bedroom to change her clothes.
Jack watched Queenie from behind and let out a sigh.
He intended to keep it from Queenie by telling her that something urgent came up. However, there was
no way he could hide it now.
Jack furrowed his brows. He thought that once Leia was taken to the police station, she would not be
able to disturb them anymore. However, it seemed that Leia was truly capable of ying with fire.
She actually hit her head on the wall like that!
Jack was furious, but he returned to his bedroom to change his clothes.
He frowned when he noticed Queenie was dressed lightly. He opened the closet and took out a scarf.
Then, he wrapped it around her neck and said, "It''s cold out there. You should wear a coat too."
"I''ll just wear the coat I left downstairs. Dear, let''s go to the hospital. Oh, we need Leia''s identification
documents,” replied Queenie as she anxiously pulled open a drawer.
Leia''s identification documents were initially left at her apartment, but Jack had asked someone to send
them back.
After the documents were returned, Queenie kept them safe.
Once she found Leia''s identification documents, she put them into her bag. As Queenie carried the
bag, she said, "Let''s go now."
"I''ve informed the driver toe and pick us up. We''ll have to wait for a while." Jack nced at the
time. It usually took the driver about 20 minutes to arrive at their residence. After all, the rental fees
around this area were high, and the driver could not afford it.
"That long?!" Queenie frowned, but she realized that it would be unsafe for Jack to drivete at night.
Therefore, she suggested, "Why don''t we take a taxi?"
"I''ve already informed Luke to head there first. He''ll arrive earlier than we do. He can find out about
Leia''s situation first,” answered Jack as he knitted his brows together. Taxis were rare in their area, as
most residents here owned cars. There was no guarantee that they could even find one if they walked
out to hail a taxi.
It would be better to wait a little longer for the driver than to wait in the cold wind.
Queenie was anxious, but she had no choice but to follow Jack''s arrangement.
She still trusted Luke. Even though he did not like Leia, personal feelings seemed to have no effect on
his judgment when it was about life and death.
Hence, Queenie could only anxiously wait for Jack''s driver to arrive.
On the other hand...
Luke entered the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and put on a coat before he hurried to the hospital.
He was now d that he had sent the children back to Crawford Manor. Otherwise, the kids would
have to stay here without Luca around. If he had to leave, he would have to call Aunt Neile toe
over.
Aunt Neile''s house was quite far away from the vi.
Luke made his way down the stairs. He grabbed the car keys and left in a hurry.
Even though he despised Leia, he would fulfill Jack''s request.
Besides, Leia should not end her life like this. She had done so many terrible things. It would be too
easy for her to just die and escape from it all.
Luke drove to the hospital. His gaze was dim as a sh of sharpness flickered in them.
Leia must not die!
When Luke arrived at the hospital, he went straight to the emergency room. With his imposing
presence, he attracted much attention as he entered. He saw two officers in police uniforms and
walked straight toward them.
"Hello, I''m Luke Crawford, Leia''s brother-inw." Admitting his rtionship with Leia was undoubtedly
repulsive to Luke. However, it was inappropriate for him to mention Jack''s name now.
Francis was startled for a moment. He informed Jack Norman, so why did Lukee instead? He
knew Luke was the CEO of T Corporation even though they had never formally met each other. Still, he
knew about Luke''s other identity—Jack''s son-inw.
"Hello, Mr. Crawford. I''m the police officer handling that case. You may call me Officer Brown. Ms.
Norman is currently being treated there." He pointed at the curtained-off examination room.
Luke nodded. He knew what case Francis was referring to.
Discussing matters rted to Jack openly in public was indeed inappropriate.
"How is she doing?" asked Luke.
"When she was at the police station..."
Before Francis could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Luke, "I''m referring to her physical
condition."
Francis nodded. He thought Luke was asking about how Leia got injured. Even though Leia hit her
head on the wall and it was not them who forced her to do so, they would be in trouble if the Norman
family argued with the police.
He answered the question Luke was concerned about, "She just had a CT scan. The doctor said there
doesn''t seem to be any major injury at the moment. It''s only superficial wounds. But they''re concerned
about the potentialplications of her injury, so they rmend keeping the patient in the hospital
for observation for two days."
"She should be immediately transferred to the custodial ward after her wounds are treated,” replied
Luke in a straightforward manner.
Leia was a suspect now. There would be police officers watching over her even if she was admitted to
the hospital. Her hands would be handcuffed to the bed. It would be impossible for her to take
advantage of her injuries and escape.
"We n to do so too," said Francis before pulling the curtains.
"Have the patient''s family members arrived?" asked the doctor.
"I''m her brother-inw. Her parents are on their way," replied Luke with an expressionless face. His
reaction was cold and indifferentpared to the rtives who were worried about their family
members when they saw the doctor.
He showed no emotional attachment to the patient as a family member.
"Alright. The patient needs to stay in the hospital for observation. ording to the police''s instructions,
she should be kept in the custodial ward, right?" The doctor looked at Francis and the others.
"Yes." Francis nodded. Leia''s incident had added to their workload. They had to arrange for someone
to be on duty here. He could not help but feel resentful.
However, given the situation now, Leia being fine was the most positive scenario. Francis had no
choice but to ept the fact that his workload had increased.
"Alright. Her family members have to bring the patient''s identification documents toplete the
hospital admission procedures. Her wounds have been treated. There were no signs of bleeding or
other issues when we looked at her brain CT scan. But it''s impossible to say for sure. That''s why she
needs to be under close watch. The patient is still in aa because of her physical weakness. I''ll call
the doctor from the hepatology department toe to examine her and prescribe her medicationter
in the morning. Many things will happen during the day, so it''d be best if her family members can
handle the paperwork now. We''ll need one family member toe and cooperate with the doctors here
tomorrow." The emergency room doctor went on and on, exining a lengthy procedure.
Francis was listening with a sense of confusion. He eventually came up with a conclusion—Leia''s
health was in poor condition.
It was not only her brain but her liver as well. She was weak...

Francis began to feel a headache at the thought of this.
If the Norman family were to me them for this, it would be difficult for the police to exin. Leia was
a suspect, but to have a suspect end up like this... Perhaps their police department would be held
responsible...
"Her identification documents are with her parents. You can ce her in the custodial ward first. The
necessary procedures will be taken care of once her parents arrive," said Luke as he nced at Leia,
who was in the emergency room.
