"Alright. Let''s transfer the patient to the custodial ward.” The doctor nodded and turned around to


    instruct the nurses to move the patient.


    Francis and another police officer followed him behind.


    Luke followed them too. However, unlike the doctors and nurses, who were in a hurry, or the police


    officers who were following behind them, he maintained some distance from them.


    He held his phone and updated Jack about Leia''s current situation, ensuring that the couple would not


    be too worried about her.


    He had no idea if Jack would worry about Leia, but Queenie would certainly be concerned about her.


    After Leia was brought to the hospital''s designated custodial ward, Jack and Queenie hastily rushed


    over.


    Luke had officiallypleted his task. He turned to look at Queenie. "Mom, please hand me her


    identification documents. We''ll need to handle the hospital admission procedures."


    He had already informed them about Leia''s situation through text, so it was only natural toplete the


    admission formalities.


    The police would not be covering Leia''s medical expenses even if she was in the custodial ward.


    Queenie''s face turned pale. She immediately nodded and took out Leia''s identification documents and


    her bank card when she heard what he said. "Luke, please help with the payment when you handle the


    procedures."


    She did not want to trouble Luke, but she had yet to recover herposure. She felt as though her feet


    were floating. She would have likely stumbled if it were not for Jack gently holding her by her side.


    "I''ll take care of it." Luke nodded and walked away to handle Leia''s hospital admission.


    The doors of the ward were pushed open once again. Francis came out when he heard that Jack and


    his wife had arrived at the hospital. He greeted Jack, "Mr. Norman, I apologize for having youe to


    the hospital at such ate hour. I''m Francis Brown, the police officer who''s in charge of this case. We


    spoke on the phone during the day." "I know." Jack nodded, indicating that he had not forgotten


    Francis. Then, he asked, "What happened to her?" "Ms. Norman tried to kill herself by hitting on a wall


    in the detention room. The doctors have treated her injuries, but she still needs to be hospitalized for


    observation.” Francis thought he was being asked about Leia''s condition. Hence, he answered in


    detail.


    "Has she confessed?" Jack was asking about this. Even though it was a question, he knew that Leia


    would not have easily admitted guilt.


    She would definitely find a way to escape the usation.


    That was probably why she hit her head on the wall. It would buy her some time and evoke sympathy


    from Queenie at the same time.


    She seeded. Queenie was genuinely concerned for her.


    Leia used to be someone who feared pain. She aspired to be a big star. However, she would always


    use a stunt actor for scenes that could potentially harm her. She would never do anything that would


    hurt herself.


    She was delicate and sensitive to pain. However, she went as far as to do such a thing to avoid


    imprisonment.


    Jack shot a nce at Queenie. He did not feel sorry for Leia. He only wanted her to take responsibility


    for what she had done.


    "Not yet." Francis heaved a sigh and shook his head. Even with the rock-solid evidence, Leia remained


    silent. She denied any involvement in the case and imed that the other party was ndering her.


    There were recordings and evidence of money transfers, so the police did not believe what she said.


    Therefore, they did not release her and kept her detained.


    "Do whatever needs to be done without considering whose daughter she is. This matter has been


    dragging on for too long. It''ll benefit the foreigner. Let''s not drag it out any longer," said Jack. A City''s


    judicial system was different from abroad.


    Luke had told him about Matysh''s identity. Now, he believed that further dy would give Matysh''s side


    an opportunity to let him escape imprisonment. Even though it was a done deal, Matysh''s family held a


    special status in Russia. There was a possibility they might find a way if it was dragged on for too long.


    How dare someone like Matysh target his beloved daughter? This matter was far from over. It could not


    be left like that!


    Francis became serious, understanding that Jack wanted him to handle it professionally. Therefore, he


    nodded and said, "Mr. Norman, rest assured. We''ll expedite our work and solve the case as soon as


    possible."


    Jack nodded.


    Meanwhile, Lukepleted the hospital admission procedures for Leia and paid the deposit. He did


    not head back right away. Instead, he dialed Luca''s phone number.


    "Luke..." The call connected, and Luca''s voice came from the other end of the line. Her voice was soft,


    gentle, and full of affection.


    Luke could imagine the scene of Luca answering the call even though they were on the phone.


    She was thinking of him and probably missing him...


    "Um, am I disturbing you?" asked Luke. Even though it waste at night, he wanted to hear Luca''s


    voice.


    "No, I couldn''t fall asleep." Luca turned over in bed and stared at the darkness in the room.


    Shey down on the bed after returning from Amur''s room. However, she could not sleep even after


    several hours.


    Even though her body was tired from today''s busy schedule, she simply could not fall asleep.


    It was just like the countless nights she spent when she was on the Ind of Despair. She could not


    sleep without medication.


    Her body was tired, but her nerves and cells remained awake.


    It had been a long time since Luca had experienced insomnia. That was why she did not have any


    sleeping pills with her. She did not expect to lose sleep without Luke by her side now.


    Was she having trouble sleeping because Luke was not by her side...


    "Are youing back tomorrow?" Luke stood in the corridor. He did not enter the custodial ward.


    Instead, he chose to stand in this rtively quiet ce to chat with Luca.


    "Yes. I''ve bailed Amur out. I''ll be able to return to A City tomorrow," answered Luca.


    A few doctors and nurses hurried past Luke at this very moment.

    "The patient''s condition doesn''t seem good. Call his family. He must be admitted to the ICU for


    treatment.”


    "But the patient''s family is reluctant to do so. They''re worried about the high medical expenses."


    "He''s on the brink of death. Do the medical expenses matter? Tell his family members that if he doesn''t


    enter the ICU, all the previous treatments will be in vain. All the expenses will go down the drain. Let''s


    see if they want to hold onto that bit of money or save a life!"


    The conversation between the doctor and the nurses grew more distant, but Luca could still hear


    clearly on the other end of the phone.


    "Why are you at the hospital?" Luca''s voice could not help but sound worried.


    "Leia hit her head on the wall at the police station. I came to check on her," replied Luke.


    Luca was stunned for a moment. Leia hit her head on the wall?


    She was aware that Leia had been arrested, and now she learned that Leia hit her head on a wall.


    Luca could not see the extent of Leia''s injuries, so she had to ask Luke, "What did the doctor say?"


    "They''re just superficial injuries at the moment. The doctors advised her to stay in the custodial ward


    for observation," Luke''s tone turned a little cold when he mentioned Leia.


    He knew that Luca was only asking about Leia''s condition because she was worried about Jack and


    Queenie.


    "Is there any conclusive evidence to substantiate her situation?" Luca asked again.
